The people from the Hong Dao Society were stunned for a long time, until Feng Hai on the stage had bled profusely, and the remaining three of the Four Little Tyrants suddenly realized what was happening.

"Brother Hai!"

"Second brother!"

The three men rushed forward, only to see their brother already bleeding from a head wound.

The three little tyrants helped Feng Hai up and saw that he had a large bump on Feng Hai forehead and a large bump on the back of his head.

The two bulges are high and, if viewed from the side, they look like a bear with two round little ears.

This sight is truly both laughable and pathetic.

"Brother Hai! Brother Hai!"

The boys shook Feng Hai, their eyes wide with disbelief, still unable to comprehend the outcome of Feng Hai's battle with Yi Yun.

In fact, all the prodigies found it unbelievable.

This script is completely wrong! Feng Hai clearly used such amazing moves, and executed them beautifully. After all, it's a family secret technique passed down in the Feng family of Beijing, how could it be bad?

The glint of the blade, the imposing presence, the footwork, the powerful wind... it was simply flawless!

Everyone thought that Feng Hai was about to make a big splash.

But... at that very moment, how could he... have been knocked down by Yi Yun with a single brick!?

No matter how you look at it, Yi Yun's brick strike was nothing special, straightforward, without any fancy techniques or skill involved. Yet the result was just so outrageous!

It's like this: a grandmaster from a martial arts family performs a beautiful set of Tai Chi in a high-class martial arts school. Just as this martial arts grandmaster is about to make friends through martial arts and meet heroes from all over the world, a street thug rushes in and knocks the martial arts grandmaster out of the water with a single brick!

It's absolutely jaw-dropping!

Many members of prominent families could not accept this.

"Was Feng Hai careless...? Yi Yun used the Sky-Flipping Seal like a brick, and he still couldn't dodge it..."

On the side of the Hong Dao Society, some people were making excuses for Feng Hai, as they simply couldn't accept this outcome.

The battle just now ended too quickly and too dramatically; they preferred to believe that it was just a coincidence.

They were all people who had placed heavy bets with Yi Yun. Some of them had bet at least eight or nine hundred Dragon Scale Rune, and many others had even brought out their own valuables, such as pills, relics, and Space Ring.

That was truly risking everything!

They were naturally unwilling to believe that Yi Yun was stronger than them.

However, on the other side, Qiu Niu stroked his chin, looking meaningfully at Yi Yun in the arena, "This Yi Yun is quite formidable... I underestimated him before!"

"Hmm!" Chu Xiaoran nodded slightly beside Qiu Niu. "Although Feng Hai underestimated his opponent, even if Feng Hai were to give it his all, he would definitely not be a match for Yi Yun. His strength is formidable!"

"This kid is interesting!" Qiu Niu's eyes lit up. He enjoyed sparring with experts, and Yi Yun was now arousing his interest.

"At the Divine Desolation Stage, Yi Yun Yi Yun defeats Feng Hai!"

At this moment, the referee announced the end of the match, and Yi Yun put away the brick and staggered off the stage.

As Yi Yun was returning to his seats, he turned around and said, "Referee, I'll borrow this brick."

Yi Yun greeted him.

The referee was speechless. He coughed twice and said, "This weapon... is called... the Sky-Flipping Seal."

"Yeah, they're pretty much the same. I find this weapon quite handy. Thanks," Yi Yun said casually.

His words made many people roll their eyes, and even the referee, who had been expressionless the whole time, twitched his lips a few times.

What is this all about?!

Is this Sky-Flipping Seal meant to be used?

If the person who forged the Sky-Flipping Seal knew that his weapon had been praised in this way, I wonder what he would think.

Yi Yun returned to his seat, and Zhou Kui and Song Zijun Yi Yun looked at him as if he were a monster.

This is practically a humanoid Ancient Remnant Species! I don't know what kind of fodder it ate to grow so big, it used the Sky-Flipping Seal as a brick, and even knocked Feng Hai unconscious.

Yi Yun placed the brick on the stone table in front of him with an air of dominance; the brick was still stained with blood.

It looks shocking.

This is exactly --

No matter how good your martial arts are, one brick can knock you down!

Techniques like "Bell Sound Steps" and "Golden Wind Saber" are completely ineffective against a brick.

Yi Yun began to meditate and calm his mind.

The rookie rankings competition continues in the arena!

At this, everyone from the Hong Dao Society became obedient.

They stopped shouting and yelling; apart from occasionally playing in matches, they were all listless.

With a brick hanging overhead, ready to fall at any moment, how can they possibly laugh!

"Damn it, avenge Hai Ge!"

Feng Hai had already taken the medicine to heal his injuries, but he was still unconscious from being hit by those two bricks.

This blow to Feng Hai was not only physical, but even more so a psychological one.

Feng Hai was originally full of momentum, ready to show off his Lineage's unique skills and make a name for himself.

Just when Feng Hai was at the peak of his life, Yi Yun pulled this stunt on him, and the feeling was anything but ordinary.

"Be careful, this kid is a bit strange!" said the eldest of the Four Little Tyrants. Their next battle against Yi Yun would be against the Four Little Tyrants again.

They absolutely, positively cannot repeat the same mistake; otherwise, the Four Little Tyrants will lose all face.

"Fourth brother, you're next! You absolutely must keep your eyes open! Watch out behind you! If you get defeated like this again, we Four Little Tyrants will become a laughing stock in the capital! How will we have any face left to show in the capital's social circles?"

"Understood, Big Brother!" one of the skinny monkeys among the Four Little Tyrants patted his chest and assured him.

"Brother, I might not be able to say anything else, but don't you know me, Monkey? I'm the fastest among us brothers! And my eyesight is the sharpest! I'm already being lenient by not ambushing others, let alone ambushing me! No way!"

The skinny monkey was very confident.

His moves are characterized by their agility, and his Lineage also possesses a top-notch lightness skill. Skinny Monkey is very talented in lightness skill, and after studying this skill for several years, he has mastered the first three levels to perfection.

Many people whose skill level is far superior to that of the skinny monkey cannot attack him.

For this reason, Fatty felt a little more at ease knowing that Skinny Monkey would be on the field.

He now realized that it was unrealistic to expect Skinny Monkey to kill Yi Yun in one fell swoop, but that didn't matter. Skinny Monkey's Movement Technique allowed him to remain undefeated for a long time, and that was enough.

You see, they were using a rotation strategy, wearing down Yi Yun's stamina so that he and the dwarf could finish Yi Yun off once they got up there.

There will be a half-hour interval between Yi Yun's matches.

During this time, Yi Yun also watched some of the other newcomers' matches, but there wasn't much to see.

Before Yi Yun mastered the Tai'a Sacred Law, many of the techniques these people used were impressive to Yi Yun. But now, with the Tai'a Sacred Law as a benchmark, these techniques are quite ordinary, and Yi Yun doesn't even bother with them.

The matches continued, one after another.

The rankings of the newcomers are constantly changing.

Some newcomers, who perform exceptionally well on stage, return offstage beaming with joy.

Some people, however, suffer defeat and heartbreak on the field because they fail to meet their expectations, thus becoming greatly discouraged.

These are all trials that the trainees of Tai'a Divine City must go through.

The path of martial arts is a balance of gains and losses. Sometimes, the rewards from a secret realm can save you a hundred years of struggle, but other times, a single calamity can break your arms and legs, or even completely destroy your martial arts skills!

Practicing martial arts means enduring both great joy and sorrow. Compared to that, the gains and losses in this newcomer ranking competition are merely the beginning.

Yi Yun had originally wanted to see Chu Xiaoran and Qiu Niu compete, but neither of them went up to the field.

After thinking about it, Yi Yun understood. These two were so powerful, who would dare to provoke them? That would be like handing over Dragon Scale Rune to someone and getting beaten up!

Someone like me, ranked third, incredibly wealthy, yet seemingly weak on the surface, is the kind of person who attracts so much hatred; everyone wants a piece of my pie.

"You little rascal, have you made another breakthrough lately?!"

At this moment, Qin the Bald walked to Yi Yun's side and patted Yi Yun on the back. Looking at Yi Yun's battle just now, Qin the Bald felt that Yi Yun had improved a lot compared to before.

Yi Yun stood up, chuckled, and said, "Instructor Qin, my skills have indeed improved recently..."

After Yi Yun mastered the Tai'a Sacred Law, even without using the Radiant Sun True Qi, his strength was far superior to what it had been before, because the total amount and purity of the Yuan Qi within Yi Yun's body had made significant progress!

Qin the Bald could only vaguely perceive these things; he couldn't see them clearly.

Although Qin the Bald had opened his Heavenly Eye, there were different levels to Heavenly Eye. For example, Elder Jian Ge of Tai'a Divine City could see through Yi Yun at a glance. Except for the Purple Crystal, which he could not see, he could see everything else about Yi Yun, down to the last bit of his blood and qi.

But Qin the Bald clearly doesn't have that ability.

Qin the Bald picked up the brick on the stone table in front of Yi Yun and examined it from all angles.

"Good bricks, solid and heavy!"

"I think so too." Yi Yun grinned.

Yi Yun had a good impression of Qin the Bald. Although Qin the Bald didn't deliberately take care of him, he fulfilled his responsibility as an instructor and gave him a lot of guidance.

Just then, the referee announced, "Divine Desolation Stage, number 1003, Yi Yun! Number 10708, Sun Yuan! Come up and fight!"

It's Yi Yun's turn to perform again!

His opponent was still one of the Four Little Tyrants of the Capital —Skinny Monkey Sun Yuan!

Sun Yuan had pointed ears and a monkey-like face; he was not good-looking. His weapon was also unusual: a pair of nunchucks.

Sun Yuan yelled and jumped onto the arena, "Yi Yun, come up here quickly, Grandpa Sun will have a go at you!"
