Dust Settled

"This kid! He's really fully recovered!?"

Cang Yan looked at Yi Yun, blinking. He couldn't understand what Yi Yun had been doing. He had only been gone for half an hour and was already full of energy again. This was simply against common sense.

He looked at the Lord of Tai'a Divine City with a questioning gaze, only to see the Lord of Tai'a Divine City looking at Yi Yun with a profound expression, and he wondered what the city lord was thinking.

Yi Yun stood on the Divine Desolation Stage, holding a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, looking down at the warriors of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom below.

At this moment, Yi Yun was covered in bloodstains, some from his enemies and some from himself. Although he was dressed in tattered clothes, his aura was like that of a triumphant king, looking down on all directions!

"Who else?"

Yi Yun asked, not intentionally shouting the words, but his voice contained a long and inexhaustible power, causing the words to echo throughout the arena.

"Who else?" "Who else?" "Who else?"...

Upon hearing Yi Yun's question, the entire audience held their breath.

Fear!

One man, one knife, one sword, fighting against fifteen prodigies from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom!

The current generation of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom is a generation of geniuses, a golden age that hasn't appeared in at least a hundred years!

Otherwise, the Lord of Seven Stars Tower the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom would not have proposed using the finals of the younger generation to determine the number of seats.

Yet, even under these circumstances, none of the geniuses of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom dared to fight after being challenged by Yi Yun alone!

Now, all the warriors of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom are silenced.

Facing Yi Yun in this final group match was like facing a humanoid Ancient Remnant Species!

Yi Yun's strength, stamina, and ability to withstand pain are all incredibly powerful.

Not to mention that he easily defeated Qian Shui and then successively defeated Feng Lin and Bai in a fierce battle, just the Murong brothers, who challenged Yi Yun when he was at his limit, were instantly killed!

Faced with such a formidable opponent, it's truly difficult to muster the courage to fight against them.

He seemed to possess inexhaustible power, giving people a sense of invincible despair.

For a moment, the warriors of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one dared to step forward again. It was a joke. To fight such a humanoid Ancient Remnant Species was practically suicide! The Murong brothers were a perfect example!

Especially Murong Fei, who was even more badly injured than Murong Guang. He had two bloody holes in his body, lost an arm, and was almost dead.

Although he's still clinging to life, he's been severely damaged. In the future, he'll inevitably be left behind by the geniuses who were originally his equals, causing his talent level to drop by one grade.

With such a heavy price to pay, who would still be willing to fight Yi Yun?

"Is no one from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom going to fight?" the referee pressed.

All the spectators turned their attention to the nine remaining warriors of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom.

These nine people suddenly became the focus of the entire event. Being the center of attention at this moment is not a pleasant feeling.

Losing a battle is shameful enough, but they were the kind who didn't even dare to fight, which makes it even more shameful.

Faced with everyone's gaze, the nine of them felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. They wished they could turn into a pile of dung so that no one would pay attention to them.

I really regret participating in this league tournament. Most of them didn't even get a chance to play.

During the Younger Generation Group competition, they didn't have a chance to compete because they were too strong.

During the Overall Group Competition, they still didn't get a chance to play, but the reason was that they were too weak!

All nine people avoided the gazes of Yi Yun and the many spectators; their decision to forfeit the match was obvious.

Seeing the nine people give up the fight, the elders of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom were furious at their lack of courage, but there was nothing they could do. They knew in their hearts that if these people went up to fight now that Yi Yun had recovered, they would only be beaten.

"Well!"

An elder from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom slapped his thigh. The nation's chosen prodigy had been defeated by one person. The sense of defeat was overwhelming!

As for the audience of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, they were completely speechless at this point. If they were still holding back their anger when Yi Yun defeated Feng Lin and Bai, now even that anger had been extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

They could have argued that while their Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom's top geniuses were slightly inferior to Yi Yun, they had the advantage of sheer numbers.

But now, no matter how many there were, they were all defeated by Yi Yun alone. What else is there to say?

"In that case, I declare that the champion of this final group competition belongs to... the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!"

On the Divine Desolation Stage, the referee made a passionate announcement, and as the Enforcement Envoy of the Tai'a Divine City, he was equally excited.

As the referee announced the verdict, the warriors of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom began to roar in celebration.

"Yi Yun! Yi Yun!"

If it weren't for the Enforcement Envoy maintaining order, they would have all wanted to rush onto the stage and toss Yi Yun up in the air.

This victory was truly hard-won!

The battle was intense and arduous, almost entirely fought by Yi Yun alone. He exerted all his strength and overexerted himself several times!

"We won!"

Chu Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze towards Yi Yun filled with admiration and curiosity. When Yi Yun told her to stall for time, she really didn't believe that Yi Yun could recover to near-peak condition in such a short time.

How did he do that?

"Senior Brother Yi, you're amazing!"

But when Yi Yun stepped down from the Divine Desolation Stage, the contestants from Tai'a Divine City, including his junior brothers Wen Yu, all came up to congratulate him.

They were all excited and thrilled.

Although they were basically just there to make up the numbers for this match, at least they played, and it wasn't entirely meaningless; they collectively bought time for Yi Yun.

Seeing the genuine smiles of his junior brothers and sisters, Yi Yun's previously tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

He laughed and said, "It's not just my achievement."

Yi Yun was implying something, but his junior brothers naturally didn't understand; they thought Yi Yun was talking about them.

Even though they usually loved to boast, they were too embarrassed to take credit for themselves at this moment. They scratched their heads and said shyly, "Senior Brother Yi, you're too modest. Our contribution was negligible..."

Yi Yun smiled but didn't explain. He knew Luo Huo'er didn't want to make a fuss.

He glanced casually at the audience and spotted a figure in red hiding in a corner, her elbows resting on the railing, her chin propped up by her small hand.

The girl was Luo Huo'er, and her maid, Dong'er, was with her.

"Hmph! This guy is showing off again. Without me, what makes him so arrogant!"

Luo Huo'er said unhappily. She was naturally a show-off, but because of the Lineage's secret, she had to keep a low profile, otherwise her father would scold her to death.

This feeling of being a behind-the-scenes hero is really unpleasant!

"That's right! Miss is the best!" Dong'er nodded hurriedly in agreement, afraid that if she spoke too late, Luo Huo'er would pinch her cheek again.
