I Have No Interest

The hand seals Lin Yue created were similar to those Shentu Jun's; the seals combined to form various shapes.

These hand seals sometimes resemble a soaring eagle, and sometimes a running wild beast.

When Shentu Jun and Lin Yue simultaneously brought their hand seals close together, these chaotic hand seals collided, bursting forth with brilliant sparks.

"Boom boom boom!"

Many hand seals collapsed after the clash.

When the Savage Heaven Master compete in their skills, there are many ways to do so, not simply comparing the quality of the Savage Bone Relic. For example, in the clash of hand seals, the stronger the control over energy and the higher the quality of the desolate bone material used, the more solid and powerful the resulting hand seal runes will be.

Shentu Jun and Lin Yue's hand seals clashed, neither giving an inch, and they used every trick in the book.

As more and more of the hand seals shattered, cold sweat poured down the faces of Shentu Jun and Lin Yue. Clearly, such a battle was taking a huge toll on their mental energy. The shattering of each hand seal rune was an impact on their soul sea.

The continuous impact put immense pressure on their mental strength.

Crackle!

The hand seals of the two exploded in the air like fireworks. A dozen breaths later, there was a loud bang, and the hand seals and runes in the air completely exploded. Lin Yue staggered back several steps, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground.

At this moment, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely; he clearly couldn't hold on any longer.

As for Shentu Jun, he wasn't much better off than Lin Yue. He also reached his limit, but he managed to hold on and didn't fall, which made him look much more dignified than Lin Yue.

"Haha, Junior Brother Lin's energy control is pretty good. He almost blew up all the hand seals and runes on my hand."

Although Shentu Jun was covered in sweat, he smiled smugly. He slightly opened his hand, and people could clearly see that he was holding two hand seal runes. Although the two hand seal runes were dim and seemed to be about to collapse at any time, it still meant that Shentu Jun was slightly better than Lin Yue.

"Wonderful!"

Outside the square, many apprentices of the Savage Heaven Master cheered. These people were mostly from the Shentu Family, as well as allies of the Shentu Family.

As for the Lin family members, the higher-ups didn't think much of it, after all, it was just a skill competition among the younger generation. However, the younger generation of the Lin family, those apprentices of the Savage Heaven Master, were all holding their breath. When they saw the hand seals in Shentu Jun's hand and the smug look on his face, they were even more indignant.

"Junior Brother Lin Yue, what a pity."

"Yes, it was so close."

The younger generation all felt sorry for him. The performance of the apprentices of the Savage Heaven Master was not stable. The fact that Lin Yue and Shentu Jun could compete to this extent meant that their strengths were similar. Sometimes, a little bit of luck could determine the outcome.

"I'll go and win it back."

A boy Lin Jun said this and jumped onto the square.

"My name is Lin Jun, Direct Disciple of the Lin family's Floating Life Heavenly Master, and I am sixteen years old this year! Among the outstanding talents of the Shentu Family, is there anyone willing to perform on the same stage as me?"

Every young talent who jumps up will announce their name, age, and who their mentor is.

The people who just came up were all Direct Disciple. The status of Direct Disciple is slightly lower than that of Personal Disciple, but not by much.

Shentu Jun has already left the arena; he has exhausted himself and naturally cannot remain in the square any longer.

Facing Lin Jun was another peripheral member of the Shentu Family.

Lin Jun certainly had the ability. After a fierce battle, he won the game, and Lin Jun won beautifully, unlike Shentu Jun who narrowly defeated Lin Yue. Lin Jun still had energy left after winning, which made the young disciples of the Lin family feel that they had made him proud.

In fact, the Lin family disciples also knew that the Shentu Family's Savage Heaven Technique had a deeper foundation, but since this was only a duel between the younger disciples, they might not necessarily lose.

"The younger generation of the Lin family is truly full of hidden talents. This Lin Jun is indeed quite impressive." Shentu Nantian said with a smile from the seat of honor, his tone like that of an elder commenting on a junior. "Competing one by one like this is too slow. How about a group battle?"

As Shentu Nantian spoke, he snapped his fingers. The Shentu Family was prepared, and in an instant, thirty-two young members of the Shentu Family, aged thirteen to eighteen, stood up and walked onto the square.

Thirty-two apprentices of the Savage Heaven Master, dressed in uniform Shentu Family attire, stood in a row in the square, creating a striking visual impact.

"This..."

Seeing that the Shentu Family had suddenly produced so many outstanding young talents, the Lin family's Savage Heaven Master were caught off guard.

Thirty-two people will compete together, each competing in their own event, which requires the Lin family to also send thirty-two people.

Many of the Savage Heaven Master immediately sent messages, instructing their disciples to select suitable individuals to compete against the Shentu Family.

These thirty-two people were clearly not the elite of the Shentu Family, but rather a group of people with relatively ordinary strength.

If they send their elite troops, winning this team battle shouldn't be a problem. However, the Shentu Family still has many experts in the later stages, so they will lose everything.

At the Evening Breeze Pavilion where Yi Yun was, Lin Yuan also received a telepathic message from the Middle-aged man surnamed Sun, asking him to assist in dealing with this team battle.

"These guys are actually quite ordinary. We don't need to send all our outstanding fellow disciples up. We just need to send some ordinary disciples, as long as they're the right age," Lin Yuan said, standing up at the Evening Breeze Pavilion.

Going through a team battle consumes a lot of mental energy, which inevitably affects subsequent matches, so the truly skilled players cannot participate.

"Senior brother, should I go up?"

Lin Qing asked, somewhat excitedly and nervously.

Lin Yuan glanced at Lin Qing. Lin Qing's Savage Heaven Technique was certainly not strong, but Lin Qing was young. Among people her age, she was still quite good. After all, she was his junior sister and his master's Personal Disciple. Sending her to such a chaotic team battle would be a waste of her talents.

"No need, neither you nor I need to participate, otherwise it would be a waste. You can participate when the Shentu Family has a thirteen-year-old prodigy girl. For now, we can just send out some decent people."

Lin Yuan looked at the people on the Evening Breeze Pavilion, weighing their strength and comparing their ages.

"You, you, and you." Lin Yuan pointed at several people, his gaze falling on Yi Yun.

Starting with the tea party, the other young apprentices of the Savage Heaven Master watched and commented, comparing and verifying their own techniques, and learning from the strengths of others.

But Yi Yun remained seated quietly, without saying a word, and it was unclear whether he had understood anything.

A team fight was about to begin, but he didn't react at all.

Lin Yuan knew that Yi Yun was Su Jie's nominal disciple. Although a nominal disciple could only be considered a medicine boy, Su Jie was still Su Jie, so Yi Yun should be passable.

"I'm planning to select four people, but we don't have enough. Why don't you go up and fill in?"

Lin Yuan said to Yi Yun, feeling that he was giving Yi Yun a chance to compete. He knew that most young disciples didn't have the opportunity to compete on stage at the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party.

Given Yi Yun's strength, he might not even have a chance to play. But now it's a free-for-all, and even if someone isn't strong enough and loses badly, it won't be too noticeable. This is the best opportunity for the weak to get a chance to shine.

"Junior Brother Yun, you seem to know some of the hand seals for the Mysterious Crystal Hand technique. Although your execution is a bit off, it's still alright. In this team battle, you should use the Mysterious Crystal Hand technique, focusing solely on defense and not offense. That should be sufficient."

In terms of tactics, Lin Yuan gave Yi Yun pointers. Two months ago, when Yi Yun first arrived at the Lin family, he learned the Mysterious Crystal Hand and the Minor Thousand Seal from Su Jie. On his first attempt at the Mysterious Crystal Hand, he perfectly completed more than fifty hand seals.

As an apprentice who had only been exposed to the Desolate Savage Heaven Technique for a few months before, Yi Yun's achievement is nothing short of a miracle.

However, no one believed that Yi Yun was a novice who had only learned the Savage Heaven Technique for a few months. Everyone thought Yi Yun was bragging and treated such a strange person and strange things as gossip fodder for conversation. It's a common, perverse pleasure that people have—it's always satisfying to laugh at others.

However, after just a few days, nobody cared about it anymore. After all, a joke only needs to be told a few times, and it gets boring after a while.

Later, Yi Yun went into seclusion and disappeared without a trace, so no one paid any more attention to this disciple that Su Jie had casually taken in.

"This kid's lucky. The Mysterious Crystal Hand technique isn't exactly high-level, but in a chaotic fight with a group of people, it doesn't stand out."

The other younger disciples also accepted Lin Yuan's assignment. Being able to show off their skills on stage in front of so many masters at the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party was a great experience, something many people would kill for.

However, to everyone's surprise, faced with such a good opportunity, Yi Yun casually shook his head and said indifferently, "Find someone else, I'm not interested..." [This chapter is an extra update]
