Gold-element Law

With the sharp metal sword right in front of him, Li Hong had no time to think. He flew backward, his long staff slamming down in his hand.

"Ding ding ding!"

A series of rapid metallic clanging sounds rang out as Li Hong hurled the metal arrows down. At the same time, his arms went numb and his hands ached; the powerful impact was almost unbearable.

Could it be...?

A thought flashed through Li Hong's mind, and just then, the metal arrow that Li Hong had knocked away returned and shot towards Li Hong again!

These metal arrows, as if they were alive, darted through the air, even managing to dodge Li Hong's long staff.

The attacks grew increasingly frequent and intense, and Li Hong's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"The Gold Element Law!"

Li Hong finally realized the nature of this attack method.

The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the Gold Element Law is the most important of the Five Elements Law. Very few people can cultivate the Gold Element Law.

This tall, thin boy is a practitioner of the Gold Element Law, and his level of comprehension of the law is simply terrifying!

Those who generally practice the Five Elements Law, even if they achieve some success in these theories, often only infuse the power of the Five Elements into their own techniques. Few can control this power as freely and skillfully as this tall, thin young man.

He can even control the Purple Tungsten Steel floor tiles; this ability is terrifying.

"Ding ding ding!"

Dozens of arrows flew through the air as Li Hong summoned his Dharma Aspect Totem. However, his Dharma Aspect Totem was pierced directly by the arrows!

Li Hong's soul trembled, and his face turned pale.

The repeated attacks left his arms numb, and he simply couldn't withstand them.

"Call out!"

An arrow finally slipped through Li Hong's defenses, piercing Li Hong shoulder and exiting from Li Hong, spraying blood everywhere!

Li Hong groaned and fell backward.

At that moment, another arrow pierced his abdomen. Li Hong's Protective Vital Energy was as fragile as paper in the face of this sharp metal arrow.

Li Hong's entire body was lifted up, and he crashed heavily to the ground, his whole body convulsing.

Jun Yue's metal arrow, carrying a spiraling force, was about the thickness of a thumb. After piercing the body, it created a wound the size of a wine glass, almost ripping off Li Hong's entire arm.

"I... admit defeat..."

Li Hong was pale and covered in sweat. He managed to utter these words with difficulty, his two open wounds indicating significant blood loss.

The medical staff of Tai'a Divine City rushed to Li Hong's aid.

Jun Yue remained calm, simply Jun Yue. Throughout the entire ordeal, he hadn't moved an inch. He had merely used the Gold Element Law to control the arrows, and yet he had achieved victory.

The difference is too big!

Li Hong was extremely frustrated; this league match became an unforgettable experience for him.

After Jun Yue won, her gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Yi Yun was meditating and adjusting his breathing in the contestants' seats.

Yi Yun's heart stirred. He didn't open his eyes, but he could sense the presence of this person within the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal.

Because he was too conspicuous.

In the Energy Vision, Human Race Sage like Cang Yan and Jian Ge appear dim because their energy is contained within them. Even figures like the Lord of Tai'a Divine City are almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

As for people like Wen Yu, their strength is weak and their existence is inconspicuous.

Jun Yue alone was exceptional; not only was he powerful, but his energy was also fiercely unrestrained. His presence was like a bright flame in the darkness, extremely conspicuous.

"This person seems unusual."

Yi Yun silently made a mental note of this person, but at the moment he was comprehending the Dao of Sword and had no intention of investigating the other party.

However, Wen Yu and the others beside Yi Yun had already found all of Jun Yue's information.

The world is vast, there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. This Jun Yue has comprehended the laws to such an abnormal degree, yet he is not well-known. In Wen Yu's records, there is less information about Jun Yue than about Viper.

"Senior Brother Yi has a rival..."

"This Jun Yue is truly terrifying." Several junior disciples felt a bit uneasy; the outcome of Yi Yun's fight against Jun Yue was uncertain.

After Jun Yue defeated Li Hong, the results of the battle between Chu Xiaoran's group and Qiu Niu's group were also announced: Chu Xiaoran won, and Qiu Niu lost!

In the battle between Tai'a Divine City and the Seventy-Two Towers of Cloud Dragon's Youth Group under fifteen years old, they won two and lost two.

Cang Yan was already very satisfied with this result.

After all, the three main players of their Tai'a Divine City, Yi Yun, Qiu Niu, and Chu Xiaoran, were all under fifteen years old, which put them at a disadvantage in terms of age. Even so, they still managed to achieve a draw.

This has already secured at least four seats.

But next up is the Youth Group Team Championship, and that Team Championship is the most important.

Winning the championship guarantees at least eight seats.

The only person who can represent Tai'a Divine City in the Team Championship is undoubtedly Yi Yun, but facing Jun Yue...

Cang Yan frowned slightly. In the previous battle between Li Hong and Jun Yue did not use her full strength at all. Cang Yan was not sure how Yi Yun compared to Jun Yue. This was a severe challenge.

Following that, the results of the group stage matches for the 15+ age group were also released.

The Demon Blade team secured a victory, while the other three teams were unsurprisingly wiped out.

In reality, the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom teams that faced these three groups only had one or two opponents, who then challenged them all the way to the end.

The group had already been abandoned, and its members had no will to fight, because they knew that no matter how they fought, they would only lose.

"The trial participants from Tai'a Divine City, your tactics are quite effective!" The Lord of Seven Stars Tower said with a smile from the seat of honor, his words still carrying a hint of sarcasm. "You abandoned three groups and concentrated all your strength on the first group, which is how you achieved a victory. You should thank your good luck in encountering the weakest group among the four groups of my Seventy-Two Towers of Cloud Dragon."

"Luck is also a kind of strength." The Lord of Tai'a Divine City was unmoved by reason. No matter what the Lord of Seven Stars Tower said, he responded with a smile and did not take it seriously at all.

"Unfortunately, in the final battle, luck is meaningless; you'll always run into someone else."

The Lord of Seven Stars Tower was confident; the previous wins and losses were not important, the most important thing was the matches to come.

A Team Championship will have eight to ten spots.

The Lord of Seven Stars Tower was confident that the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom would seize all these seats.

His goal is to secure more than 60% of the total seats, including those of the Southern Ten Kingdoms and other neutral forces!

The battle continues.

After only a short rest following the group stage, the Team Championship is next!

In the group stage, all undefeated trial participants from the winning group can participate in the Team Championship.

The rules for the Team Championship are very simple: it's a free challenge format.

One person from each of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom and the Tai'a Divine Kingdom can challenge any person from the other side. The loser is eliminated, and the winner continues to fight until the very end. Whoever is left wins the Team Championship.

For those under 15 years old, the Team Championship directly receives eight seats.

The Team Championship in the 15+ age group and the overall group each receive ten seats.

If there are more than ten people remaining, they can get two additional seats.

The Team Championship is the competition that the Lord of Seven Stars Tower cares about most.

That's nearly thirty seats now, which is nothing compared to the six seats lost in the group stage.

"Kid, the Team Championship is about to begin!"

As Yi Yun meditated, Cang Yan's voice rang in Yi Yun's ears.

Yi Yun opened his eyes. The swordsmanship in the Pure Yang Sword Palace was incredibly profound. Even with the help of the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun found it extremely difficult to cultivate. This was definitely the most strenuous technique and insight he had ever gained in his martial arts career.

"Team competitions are a series of battles, the more people you have, the more advantageous it is. We don't have the advantage in numbers, so let's try our best." Cang Yan said, pointing to a girl not far in front of Yi Yun, which was Chu Xiaoran.

"Now we're teammates..." Chu Xiaoran said with a smile.

Yi Yun looked at Chu Xiaoran and realized that Chu Xiaoran was all alone.

Chu Xiaoran smiled sheepishly, "My teammates were all defeated. Qiu Niu and Li Hong both lost in the group stage, so actually only I joined. Including your group, there are only five people in total..."

Well...

Yi Yun pinched the bridge of his nose. Around him were Wen Yu and two junior brothers who were practically invisible.

The three of them were just there to make up the numbers.

After counting, in reality, only Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran participated in the championship.

Looking at their opponents, they saw a group of ruthless, wolf-like men.

The numbers are really "not in a dominant position"!
