The Donkey of the Cang Yan Family
At the birthday banquet of the Lord of Tai'a Divine City, powerful leaders and sages from all major forces gathered. Meanwhile, after the group stage, the arena was completely empty, and all the matches were held on the Divine Desolation Stage, attracting widespread attention!
In the past, when the trial participants of Tai'a Divine City fought, the spectators around them were also trial participants from Tai'a Divine City. Since everyone was from the same sect, it was not shameful no matter how they fought.
But now, every match is being watched by many important figures.
Such a scene inevitably makes people feel tense.
"Senior Sister Wen..." A thirteen-year-old junior brother swallowed hard, tugged at Wen Yu's sleeve, and hesitated before speaking.
Wen Yu knew what he was nervous about. The three of them should have been eliminated, but Yi Yun went on stage early, so they didn't even have to fight the first battle and were able to stay. In the upcoming battle, their opponents would definitely be much stronger than the three of them, and going up there would just be asking for a beating.
Being humiliated normally is one thing, but to be utterly defeated in front of so many important audience members must have been incredibly embarrassing.
Wen Yu felt helpless; in truth, her situation wasn't much better than her junior brother's.
A quick glance at the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom's players' seats revealed that each of their opponents exuded a terrifying aura, making them unapproachable.
"You don't need to go."
Yi Yun spoke calmly from behind Wen Yu.
"Ah? I..." Wen Yu blushed, feeling embarrassed. "At least... we can scout ahead..."
Wen Yu felt that she should play a role, even if it was just a little bit.
She's participated in this league tournament, and so far, all she's done is gather intelligence; she hasn't done anything else.
"No."
Yi Yun didn't need Wen Yu to scout ahead; in fact, they couldn't scout it out anyway. This battle was between him and Chu Xiaoran.
On the other side, there were seven people! The difference in numbers was more than three times.
The veterans of various factions are all observing these newcomers, especially Yi Yun and Jun Yue.
They were the center of attention.
Yi Yun defeated Viper without even drawing his weapon. Jun Yue defeated Li Hong without moving an inch.
Both of them were exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, Yi Yun was a year younger than Jun Yue.
For teenagers, this is the period of their fastest growth; a year is far too long. Let alone a year, even just three or four months is not surprising, as a breakthrough can double their strength.
"It's a pity that Yi Yun is too young and has few teammates. He can't carry the team alone." On the elders' seat, an elder from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom stroked his beard and said.
"If Yi Yun were a year older, perhaps he could still put up a fight against Jun Yue, but right now... he's still too inexperienced."
Another elder from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom chimed in, dressed in a White Robe, looking every bit the otherworldly sage.
Both of them believed that Jun Yue's victory in this battle was a foregone conclusion.
"Ass!"
The two elders had barely finished speaking when someone suddenly uttered a remark that left them completely stunned. In such a setting, with so many distinguished figures gathered together, who would speak so rudely?
They turned their heads and saw a thin old man cracking sunflower seeds and casually tossing the shells aside.
The old man was peering intently into the center of the Divine Desolation Stage, completely ignoring them.
This gaunt old man was none other than Cang Yan.
The White Robe elder, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, confirmed that the "idiot" he had just heard was indeed the one from this old man.
"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?!" the White Robe elder roared.
"What?" Cang Yan looked confused, as if she had been suddenly called upon. "You called me?"
"Yes!" The White Robe elder's face was grim. "Because of what you just said!"
"What did I just do?" Cang Yan looked surprised, then suddenly realized, "Oh, when I was eating the Spirit Sunflower Seeds, I remembered that my Green Donkey mount had overturned my Medicine Furnace yesterday, so I cursed that beast. Is there a problem with that?"
Cang Yan looked completely innocent, while the two elders from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom grew increasingly ashen-faced.
They confronted Cang Yan to demand an explanation, only to be scolded by the old man in return.
But ironically, Cang Yan had just cursed someone as a "stupid donkey," so it wouldn't be wrong for him to say he was cursing his mount, the Green Donkey. Besides, Cang Yan hadn't even looked at the two of them the whole time.
This infuriated the two White Robe elders, who, despite being scolded twice, could find no reason to vent their anger and could only glare helplessly.
The two elders were completely helpless. Who would have thought that such a nearly rogue would infiltrate the circles of renowned figures from various powerful forces?
"That old scoundrel!" a White Robe elder angrily transmitted his voice.
"Forget it, he's just being smug for a moment, showing off his verbal skills. Wait until the competition results are out, then see what he has to say!"
"Indeed, this time, my Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom is teeming with geniuses! It is the most prosperous generation in a hundred years, and we will surely make the Tai'a Divine Kingdom lose all face!"
The two White Robe elders spoke, and the atmosphere calmed down temporarily. They looked towards the center of the arena, where the competition had already begun.
The people from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom came out first. It was a child who looked only seven or eight years old and was very cute.
In his hand, he held a pair of small umbrellas, which floated in mid-air without any power, spinning incessantly between his fingertips.
"Hmm? A child?"
"He just looks young. His name is Lin Tong, and he's the same age as us. Don't underestimate him. I've looked at his file; he's very strong, and the fact that he's ranked first in the competition speaks for itself."
At the start of a match, weak players are usually not sent out, because the goal is to create momentum.
"I'll go into battle!"
As Chu Xiaoran spoke, she stepped onto the arena. There were only two of them, Yi Yun would naturally be the last to go on stage, so the only one who could fight was Chu Xiaoran.
"Okay, be careful." Yi Yun nodded.
"Hehe..." The boy laughed, looking at Chu Xiaoran and revealing a row of white teeth.
"The match begins!"
As the referee gave the order, Chu Xiaoran flicked her Longsword, and behind her appeared the Dharma Aspect Totem of the Ice Plains Snow Wolf.
Chu Xiaoran immediately unleashed her Dharma Aspect Totem, intending to end the battle quickly.
"A smart decision!"
The child praised it.
With Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran facing off against seven opponents, stamina becomes extremely important. They must conserve their energy in every battle and avoid dragging it out for too long.
"Roar!"
The wolf king roared and charged towards Lin Tong.
At the same time, Chu Xiaoran unleashed a sword strike, and a surge of cold air erupted. On the Purple Tungsten Steel arena, ice pillars sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, surrounding Lin Tong!
This is Chu Xiaoran's Frost Domain. Yi Yun had experienced this move a year ago.
However, Chu Xiaoran's current mastery of the Ice Domain is far superior, and its power is incomparable to what it used to be!
"Boom boom boom!"
The ice pillar exploded, turning into countless shards of Ice Crystal that rushed towards Lin Tong.
This is an attack with absolutely no blind spots; even Yi Yun's Subtle Movement Technique cannot dodge it!
At the same time, Chu Xiaoran's sword and the Ice Plains Snow Wolf transformed into two streaks of light, shooting towards Lin Tong.
A pincer attack from three sides!
From the very beginning, Chu Xiaoran used every trick in the book!
Faced with such a storm of attacks, Lin Tong had no way to dodge, nor did he intend to.
He let out a low shout, and his entire body's energy exploded, causing the airflow to swirl rapidly and form a large vortex.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless Ice Crystal crashed into the vortex of energy, only to be deflected by the airflow.
Spinning Intent!
Using the force of rotation, Lin Tong deflected all the Ice Crystal!
At the same time, Lin Tong flicked his hands, and twelve small umbrellas flew out from his palms. These umbrellas ranged in size from the size of a washbasin to the size of a bowl, and they looked colorful and extremely beautiful.
The small umbrella spun around and flew towards Chu Xiaoran.
"Snap snap snap!"
With a sharp, piercing sound of blades cutting through the air, gleaming, cold blades suddenly emerged from the edges of these small umbrellas, transforming the once beautiful, spinning umbrellas into menacing, deadly spinning wheels!
The twelve flying wheels, coming from twelve directions, blocked Chu Xiaoran's attack routes, and Lin Tong was trying to force Chu Xiaoran to retreat.
Chu Xiaoran's attack, which was originally a pincer movement with no blind spots, was thus broken by Lin Tong.
However, facing these twelve flying wheels, a resolute glint flashed in Chu Xiaoran's eyes. She gritted her teeth and twisted her body in an incredible way, actually passing straight through the gaps between the twelve flying wheels!
Hard-Soft Intent!
"Snap snap snap!"
Even though Chu Xiaoran's Hard-Soft Intent was perfect, she still couldn't completely dodge it.
Three jets of light grazed Chu Xiaoran's shoulders and lower abdomen.
Blood splattered!
"Die!"
Chu Xiaoran's fatal sword strike was aimed straight at Lin Tong's face!
"What!?"
Lin Tong was startled. He stepped back, formed a hand seal, and a giant umbrella opened, enveloping his body!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Chu Xiaoran's sword struck the giant umbrella without any fancy moves. The Sword Light exploded wildly, and the giant umbrella shook violently.
At that moment, Chu Xiaoran's Ice Plains Snow Wolf pounced on Lin Tong from behind and bit down.
Lin Tong cried out in alarm as his shoulder was torn apart by the wolf's fangs, causing his internal energy to stagnate and making it impossible for him to maintain the giant umbrella in his hand.
At this moment, Chu Xiaoran forcefully gathered another breath of energy, and the Longsword in her hand shot out a burst of cold light!
"Boom!"
The giant umbrella exploded, turning into vital energy and dissipating. The Sword Light poured down without any obstruction, crashing into Lin Tong's Protective Vital Energy.
Lin Tong spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing heavily outside the arena.
This giant umbrella is actually a totem of Lin Tong's Dharma Aspect Totem.
Some martial artists' Dharma Aspect Totem are not in the form of wild beasts, but are related to the techniques they practice, the weapons they use, and the laws they cultivate.
Lin Tong is the latter; he cultivates the Spinning Intent, a law that is not particularly sophisticated but is very practical.
"Lin Tong has been defeated!"
The audience from Tai'a Divine City present were greatly invigorated by the battle.
In a lightning-fast battle, Chu Xiaoran acted decisively, like a storm, directly defeating Lin Tong, the formidable enemy of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom!
That's truly inspiring.
However, some people were worried about Chu Xiaoran. Yi Yun looked at Chu Xiaoran's shoulders and lower abdomen and pondered for a moment.
Chu Xiaoran's wound was deep. This was because Lin Tong was very strong, and Chu Xiaoran, in order to finish the battle quickly and conserve her energy, could not force an attack. Such an injury naturally greatly reduced Chu Xiaoran's fighting ability. (To be continued~^~)
