Am I, Jun Wangyou, Some Coward? Eternal Extreme Realm, Let Me See Whether You Live Up to Your Name

Jun Wangyou had arrived?

Everyone in the great hall turned their eyes toward its entrance.

Every one of them was filled with intense curiosity.

Ninety-nine percent of them had never seen Jun Wangyou before.

They were all extremely curious about what Jun Wangyou, who had broken through the Eternal Extreme Realm after cultivating for only one month, looked like.

Of course, they were even more curious about what kind of person Jun Wangyou was.

In the Eastern Continent today, Jun Wangyou was unquestionably the hottest topic, the foremost subject of countless people's boasts and idle chatter.

Breaking through the Eternal Extreme Realm was, in a sense, equivalent to declaring Jun Wangyou the number one prodigy of the Eastern Continent.

In a cultivation world, the weight carried by such a title was boundless.

Soon, Jun Wangyou entered the great hall.

The moment he stepped inside, everyone was stunned.

At the entrance stood Jun Wangyou, eight feet tall and dressed in a white robe embroidered with golden threads and clouds. He had sword-like brows and starry eyes, handsome and refined features, and an aloof, ethereal bearing untouched by worldly dust.

The Nine Heavens Scarlet Fire Sword was strapped across his back. At a glance, he looked like a young sword immortal, an immortal lord set apart from the world.

Everyone in the great hall was dumbstruck. They had never seen anyone with such an ethereal and ever-changing aura.

The slightest shift in his expression gave rise to an entirely different extraordinary presence around him.

At times he was cold and distant, at times gentle, at times melancholy, at times indifferent...

Yet no matter what aura he displayed, it could stir their hearts.

When he was cold and distant, they could not help but look up to him.

When he was gentle, they felt as though a spring breeze had washed over them.

When he was melancholy, sorrow welled up in their hearts as well.

While everyone in the great hall stood lost in a daze, Jun Wangyou had already walked to its center.

Jun Wangyou cupped his hands and bowed slightly. "Disciple Jun Wangyou greets Master and all the elders."

His voice, as refreshing as a spring breeze and as though they had drunk sweet immortal nectar, rang through the hall.

It entered everyone's ears and jolted them back to their senses.

The female disciples gazed at Jun Wangyou with dreamy eyes, their cheeks flushed like peach blossoms.

They began calculating how they could sleep with Jun Wangyou.

The male disciples looked at Jun Wangyou with worship and admiration in their hearts, wishing they could follow behind him.

"Haha, Wangyou is here. Come, let me introduce you. This is your Martial Uncle Chen."

"Your Martial Uncle Chen is no ordinary man. He is one of the ten great elders of the Yin Yang Sacred Land and also an Alchemy Grandmaster of the Dao Tier. He has countless pills in his possession."

"If he casually gives you a few, they will be enough for you to cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul. Hurry and greet your martial uncle."

At that moment, True Man Qingwei spoke with a smile, his eyes sly as he kept signaling Jun Wangyou.

Jun Wangyou was briefly stunned, but quickly understood and smiled helplessly to himself.

When would this improper master of mine ever act properly? He is, after all, the master of a great sacred land.

Ignoring True Man Qingwei, Jun Wangyou solemnly bowed to Chen Jianxuan.

"Your nephew, Jun Wangyou, greets Martial Uncle."

"Mhm." Chen Jianxuan gave a soft grunt, his expression blank.

[Chen Jianxuan has developed negative favorability toward you. Current favorability: negative 5 stars.]

Negative 5 stars?

"Damn it, this old bastard has come with bad intentions!"

Jun Wangyou shot Chen Jianxuan a wary look and subtly took a step back.

At the same time, he checked Chen Jianxuan's information.

[Chen Jianxuan: Mid-stage Ascension Realm. Identity: Core Elder of the Yin Yang Sacred Land. Favorability toward you: negative 5 stars. "If this child does not die, the Yin Yang Sacred Land will find it difficult to rise."]

"Only mid-stage Ascension Realm! He isn't even stronger than the old man. No need to be polite to him."

Jun Wangyou thought silently to himself.

At that moment, True Man Qingwei's smile faded as he said seriously, "Since everyone has met, it is time to handle the proper business."

Jun Wangyou's heart tightened. It was finally here.

The next moment, True Man Qingwei looked at him and asked, "Wangyou, do you know why I summoned you here?"

Jun Wangyou nodded. "This disciple knows. The senior brothers from the Yin Yang Sacred Land wish to challenge this disciple."

True Man Qingwei's expression turned solemn. "Then are you willing to accept their challenge?"

True Man Qingwei added, "It is fine if you do not wish to accept. After all, you have only been cultivating for one month. You have not learned any Dao arts, nor have you ever experienced battle. Certain people enjoy taking advantage of others' weakness, and we have every reasonable excuse to refuse."

Chen Jianxuan's face darkened. Certain people? Wasn't that clearly referring to him?

True Man Qingwei did not care about Chen Jianxuan. His gaze remained fixed on Jun Wangyou.

He hoped Jun Wangyou would refuse.

Even if the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land's reputation suffered because of it.

Jun Wangyou fell silent, his gaze sweeping across the many elders and disciples in the great hall.

He made his decision.

He would accept the challenge!

Although Jun Wangyou wanted to lie low, there was a time and place for everything.

If he chose to retreat in a situation like this, it would not be lying low. It would be cowardice.

Jun Wangyou raised his head, his eyes bright and his smile brilliant. "Master, I accept the challenge."

"My disciple, you... sigh!"

True Man Qingwei sighed inwardly. Then, without saying anything further, he used the divine ability Universe Great Shift to instantly transport everyone to the challenge venue.

Naturally, that did not include Chen Jianxuan and the ten challengers from the Yin Yang Sacred Land.

The challenge venue was called the Battle Arena.

The Battle Arena was enormous. It resembled an ancient Roman colosseum, only far larger.

At this moment, every seat around the Battle Arena was occupied.

All disciples who had received the news had rushed over.

As True Man Qingwei appeared with everyone in tow, however—

The previously clamorous Battle Arena instantly fell silent.

At the edge of the Battle Arena, True Man Qingwei surveyed the surroundings. With a solemn expression, he slowly transmitted his voice to Jun Wangyou:

"Good disciple, since you have chosen to accept the challenge, I will not try to persuade you otherwise. But there are still some things I must tell you.

"The Yin Yang Sacred Land claims to be here for friendly exchanges and challenges, but in truth, they have come to test you.

"If possible, they may even wish to cripple you—or kill you on the spot!

"I believe you can guess their purpose.

"So when you step up there, if you can kill them, do not merely cripple them. If you can cripple them, do not merely injure them!

"You must strike enough fear into them in one go. Otherwise, challenges like this will not be rare in the future."

Jun Wangyou nodded seriously. "This disciple understands."

It seemed True Man Qingwei had noticed some of Jun Wangyou's concerns.

True Man Qingwei smiled reassuringly.

"Do not worry. I know you have never cultivated any Dao arts and have barely even fought before.

"But those people across from you are not much better. Though they have all reached Great Perfection, they are still within the Qi Refining Realm.

"At most, they have more combat experience than you. You only need to remember this: with enough strength, one can break ten thousand techniques!

"The value of the Eternal Extreme Realm is greater than you imagine."

Jun Wangyou nodded silently, then turned and walked toward the Battle Arena. As he walked, he thought to himself:

Eternal Extreme Realm, let me see whether you truly live up to your name!

Jun Wangyou was not without confidence in accepting this challenge.

Strongest Qi Refining Cultivator in History!

That was Jun Wangyou's confidence.
