Jun Yue

"Senior Brother Yi, you just used the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, didn't you?"

When Yi Yun stepped off the stage, his team members surrounded him and asked him questions.

As the top-tier cultivation technique of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, the <Tai'a Sacred Law> is extremely famous.

Many newcomers have heard of its great reputation, but have never seen it.

"Of course! No need to ask!" another junior brother said. "The Tai'a Sacred Law is truly powerful; it burned away all those poisons in an instant."

These junior disciples had all heard the rumors that the Tai'a Sacred Law was extremely difficult to cultivate, and that many geniuses had failed miserably when they tried to cultivate it.

Like Wen Yu, many outstanding newcomers aim to master the Tai'a Sacred Law, but this goal remains extremely distant.

Now, in Yi Yun's hands, the <Tai'a Sacred Law> was used so skillfully that he could easily unleash it even with metal bricks. Yi Yun wasn't much older than them, yet he had already cultivated the <Tai'a Sacred Law> to such a level, which filled them with both admiration and envy.

"Hehe, Yi Yun did a great job!" Not far away, Cang Yan stroked his chin, looking quite satisfied.

Beside Cang Yan, Jian Ge had also watched the entire match. He remarked, "This Yi Yun, after nearly a year away, has made significant progress in the <Tai'a Sacred Law>."

The current Yi Yun is not just a simple change in cultivation level; he has made a qualitative improvement in every aspect of his life.

"Of course, you don't even know who taught him!" Cang Yan said smugly.

Jian Ge was speechless. This old man was truly shameless.

The old man certainly provided Yi Yun with a lot of help, but as for teaching, he clearly never taught Yi Yun anything.

However, Jian Ge didn't argue with Cang Yan about this. He knew that Cang Yan was indeed the first to discover Yi Yun. In the beginning, it was Cang Yan who brought Yi Yun into the Blade Tomb.

"We've already secured two spots. Yi Yun's cohort is arguably the strongest in Tai'a Divine City in recent years, even surpassing Qin Haotian's cohort. It's just a pity they haven't fully matured yet. If they had all broken through to the Origin Foundation Realm, our chances would be even more secure."

The competition rules stipulate that participants must be under 15 years old. This is very disadvantageous for Yi Yun, Qiu Niu, and Chu Xiaoran.

In this competition, the three-year trial participants are actually the most important, but unfortunately, Tai'a Divine City only has one three-year trial participant, Li Hong.

Li Hong is clearly not up to the task yet.

After the first match, Yi Yun had nothing to do; the rest of the matches would take some time.

Yi Yun sat cross-legged on the players' bench and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

He was trying to comprehend the way of the sword in the Sword Tomb.

Seeing Yi Yun begin to meditate, the junior disciples exchanged bewildered glances; Yi Yun still had matches to play.

At this point, Yi Yun should have gone to check on the other groups' matches and learn about their opponents, Yi Yun was meditating.

If we could go back a quarter of an hour, Wen Yu would have despised Yi Yun for his actions. But now, with Yi Yun easily defeating the Viper, Wen Yu was speechless.

The same thing can produce completely different results depending on who does it. For a weak person, doing it is foolish; for a strong person, it's a sign of expertise.

"What are you all standing there for? Let's go gather intelligence!" Wen Yu slapped one of her junior brothers on the head. This was the only time when these extras could really be of any use.

The four major factions' alliance tournament began with simultaneous group matches.

The subsequent championship competition will first be held in the under-15 age group, then in the over-15 age group, and finally in the overall group.

They split up to check on the battle situation of each group.

Yi Yun, who was meditating, ignored the departure of Wen Yu and the others. He felt several gazes fixed on him, filled with hostility and fear.

Yi Yun knew who it was without even looking.

"This kid defeated Viper, a being of a much higher level..."

Not far away, Yang Haoran clenched his only fist, his whole hand trembling.

The outcome of Yi Yun's battle with Viper was completely unexpected. The ruthless and powerful Viper, whom he had carefully chosen, was killed by Yi Yun.

Just how strong is Yi Yun?

He suddenly realized a despairing possibility: even now, before Yi Yun had fully matured, he, with his severed hand, might not be a match for Yi Yun!

This made Yang Haoran feel extremely frustrated.

"Haoran... we should... stop targeting him..."

Li Hong felt a little uneasy standing next to Yang Haoran.

Li Hong is a vengeful person; whoever offends him, he will find a way to retaliate tenfold.

However, this depends on who the other person is. If you know that the other person is far superior to you, it would be foolish of you to provoke them.

Li Hong originally targeted Yi Yun because he thought Yi Yun was easy to bully.

But now, Yi Yun is stronger than him, more talented than him, and better than him in every aspect. His only advantage is his Lineage, but compared to the high regard Yi Yun receives from the elders of Tai'a Divine City, it is nothing at all.

Moreover, if he cannot defeat Yi Yun, his fate will be even more tragic when Yi Yun becomes king and ruler of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom in the future.

Li Hong had already begun to consider retreating.

"Are you scared?" Yang Haoran looked at Li Hong with resentment.

Li Hong shook his head. He was afraid of Yi Yun and didn't want to offend Yang Haoran. "I just feel that we might not be able to beat him..."

"We can't beat them..." Yang Haoran gritted his teeth. He had to admit that what Li Hong said was true.

Even their Lineage wouldn't risk offending someone who shone brightly in the league, was highly regarded by the elders of the Divine City, and was accepted as a disciple by Master Yuehua, just for their own sake.

Even in critical moments, the Lineage might weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice him, after all, his arm is already broken.

This is the cruel reality of large Lineage.

Thinking of this, Yang Haoran felt a deep sadness.

"Yi Yun severed my arm, ruining my martial arts future. Am I, Yang Haoran, supposed to swallow this insult...? When have I ever been so humiliated..."

In the world of martial arts, strength reigns supreme. Once Yi Yun proved his strength, even scions of powerful families had to bow down.

Just as Li Hong and Yang Haoran were communicating using their spiritual energy, a scream suddenly rang out from behind Li Hong on the stage.

Li Hong turned around and saw that one of his team members had his arm broken and was thrown off the stage.

That team member, also a newcomer, was deathly pale and lying on the ground, convulsing. The outcome was already clear.

The groups that progressed the fastest, besides Yi Yun's, were Li Hong's group.

I thought Li Hong's group was just a bunch of small fry, similar to Yi Yun's group.

However, among the same small fry, Yi Yun shone brightly, winning two seats in less than fifteen minutes after the start of the competition, while his own side was on the verge of being wiped out.

Seeing his "vanguard" protectors fall one after another, Li Hong could no longer sit still.

The difference is huge!

"How weak!"

On the arena, a tall young man laughed heartily, "You guys are the abandoned group, right? As the captain of the abandoned group, you must be feeling quite aggrieved."

The boy's words stung Li Hong.

Li Hong's face turned cold. He picked up his long stick and walked onto the stage. His team was already empty, so it was his turn to take the stage anyway.

He held his long staff horizontally, pointing it directly at the tall young man. "Enough talk. Let me see what gives you the right to be so arrogant."

Li Hong was, after all, the top performer among the three-year trial participants of Tai'a Divine City, yet he was provoked like this by a mere vanguard. How could he not be furious?

"A Jun, come down, let me have a word with him."

Just then, a detached voice rang out from below the stage, and a tall, thin man stepped onto the ring.

This man didn't look like a teenager at all. He had a restrained aura, long and bright eyes, and a unique temperament.

Upon seeing this man, the previously arrogant youth became noticeably more respectful.

"Senior Brother Jun Yue, you are the commander. It's just dealing with a nobody. Why do you need to get involved?"

As the boy spoke, Jun Yue smiled nonchalantly and said, "I thought I wouldn't need to lift a finger, but... seeing Viper defeated on stage eight, and the person who defeated Viper being quite interesting, makes me itchy for a fight. I should probably warm up beforehand."

Jun Yue's voice was casual. As he spoke, he glanced at Yi Yun, who was meditating with his eyes closed not far away, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Meanwhile, on the arena, Li Hong's face had turned pale.

This is outrageous!!

This Jun Yue, in his eyes, only has Yi Yun as his opponent. He actually treats his battle with me as a "warm-up"?

Court death!!

Li Hong clenched his fist, the veins on it twisting like earthworms. He was determined to fight with great momentum in this battle!

He was also a prodigy, how could he be ignored like this? Even if he was knocked away, he would still bite off a piece of his opponent's flesh.

It was another battle between the main generals. An Enforcement Envoy from Tai'a Divine City stepped forward to act as referee. When he asked both sides if they were ready, Jun Yue's hands were empty, and she did not draw her weapon.

"No weapons?" Li Hong's face darkened, but he didn't make any threats.

He knew his opponent was very strong, and even if he didn't use his weapon, he would have to be extremely vigilant. His only chance of victory was to take advantage of his opponent's underestimation of him.

"The match begins!"

At the command of the Tai'a Divine City Enforcement Envoy, Li Hong, wielding a long staff, charged out.

At the same time, a grizzly bear-shaped Dharma Aspect Totem rose up behind Li Hong!

During this year, Li Hong also acquired his own Dharma Aspect Totem. Facing Jun Yue, whose strength was unknown, Li Hong went all out from the very beginning!

Despite Li Hong's attack, Jun Yue remained as steadfast as a sword on the arena.

Just as Li Hong had rushed to within three zhang of him, Jun Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chilling light flashed forth.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Beneath Li Hong, the metal floor tiles suddenly underwent an incredible transformation; countless metal arrows, each as thick as a thumb, detached from the ground and shot straight towards Li Hong!

What!?

Li Hong's expression changed drastically. What kind of move was that!?
