I'll Take Three of Your Moves Without Leaving My Seat

Outside the Water Palace.

The Qinglin led the way, while the shrimp soldiers followed behind with their heads bowed, not daring to slack off.

Led by Qinglin, they walked along the gullies at the bottom of the river, and the deeper they went, the clearer the river water became.

The originally turbid and churning mud and sand were firmly blocked by an invisible curtain of water, preventing even a tiny bit from seeping in.

On the cliff walls on both sides, every few feet a lantern hangs, each containing a luminous pearl the size of an egg, emitting a soft, warm blue light that illuminates the entire path.

Yu Tunzhou was somewhat taken aback. This guy was a bit extravagant, using such a huge luminous pearl as a street lamp. No wonder he was the Demon King of the External Scenery, Dominion over thousands of miles of river; he was truly extravagant.

Before long, the view ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a magnificent and well-organized water palace shrouded in a light blue barrier.

The barrier was like a small world created at the bottom of the river, keeping the surging river water out.

Yu Tunzhou stepped into the barrier, and the moisture on his clothes was instantly drained away, leaving him dry and crisp in no time.

He secretly praised it, thinking that it was indeed worthy of Coming Dragon Water Prefecture; the water control techniques inherent in this barrier alone were truly amazing.

Yu Tunzhou Boat drove straight in, entering the Water Palace directly. Along the way, shrimp soldiers and crab generals stood on both sides of the palace gate. Each of them had a calm aura and appeared to have Form Refinement cultivation. Upon seeing his group, they all bowed their heads in respect, displaying strict discipline and showing no sign of the laxity of aquatic demons.

Upon entering the main hall, light streamed down from the luminous pearl overhead.

Dozens of ebony tables had already been set up on the left and right sides of the hall, and most of them were occupied by guests. Yu Tunzhou was considered to have arrived late.

Yu Tunzhou thought to himself, "This banquet is quite large."

That's normal, though. The powers along the riverbanks, or those who need to maintain long-term Coming Dragon River, such as chambers of commerce and security escort agencies, all have to give this person face.

Many people even try to find ways to get here in order to ensure the waterway is open, but they may not have the opportunity.

Guided by Qinglin, Yu Tunzhou slowly moved forward and finally took his seat in the second seat closest to the right of the main seat.

He glanced sideways, a strange look in his eyes.

On the seat beside him sat a bald monk, dressed in simple robes, his hands clasped together, sitting solemnly before the table. However, he was surrounded by four beautiful female demons dressed in light gauze, their eyes sparkling with spring, who were carefully serving him with wine cups and fresh fruit.

The monk's robes were spotless, standing out from the surrounding beautiful scenery, yet they blended in perfectly, without the slightest sense of incongruity.

The fourth-ranked Divine Monk Jiese on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking who abstained from lust?

Meeting Yu Tunzhou's strange gaze, the monk coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and took the initiative to transmit his voice, saying, "This humble monk Jiese. May I ask your name, benefactor?"

"I am Yu Tunzhou, greetings to Dharma Master Jiese," Yu Tunzhou replied telepathically.

"Yu Tunzhou?"

Upon hearing Jiese, Jie Se's clear eyes brightened instantly, and he pressed on, asking, "Are you the benefactor Yu who lives with the Buddhist disciples of the Vajra Chan Temple in Luofu Grotto-Heaven?"

"It is I."

I've heard so much about you.

Jiese smiled, but then noticed the strange look in Yu Tunzhou's eyes. He quickly explained in a serious tone, "Please don't misunderstand, benefactor Yu. This humble monk is still a virgin. I'm merely using you ladies to cultivate your unwavering Buddhist mind and understand the principle that form is emptiness."

Yu Tunzhou thought to himself, "You think I believe you?" Then, curious, he transmitted his voice, "Master, aren't you afraid that you might break your vows during your cultivation?"

Jiese stammered, "If I have truly broken the precept, it only means that my cultivation is insufficient and my resolve is not firm enough. I still need to continue to refine myself."

Yu Tunzhou secretly gave a thumbs up. "Well done! Not enough cultivation? He's even come up with a perfect excuse."

Yu Tunzhou was not in a hurry to conspire with this person to deal with An Ruyu; his gaze first swept over the others in the hall.

At the same time, many eyes around him fell on him, scrutinizing and probing.

The positions of the tables in the palace represent their respective statuses in the world by default. The person sitting at the front is either a representative of a wealthy family from a nearby county or a well-known head of an escort agency.

Or, there are outstanding figures like the Dharma Master Jiese on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking List.

Therefore, all the guests in the hall were somewhat puzzled as to which family this unfamiliar young hero came from, and how he could be seated in such a prominent position.

The Lord Hibernating Dragon could make such an arrangement suggests that this young man must have an extraordinary background!

Yu Tunzhou remained calm and composed, showing no sign of unease despite the scrutiny from the crowd. Ziguang eventually landed in the seat opposite him and Jiese.

Two men, one old and one young, sat there in moon-white brocade robes, sitting motionless, completely out of place with the lively atmosphere of the hall.

Yu Tunzhou's gaze first fell on the two men's foreheads—

Both of them had a pair of coral-shaped, silvery-white dragon horns on their foreheads, with fine lines and a shimmering glow.

Dragon Race?

They are still Dragon Race with relatively pure bloodlines.

He remembered that neither Thirteenth Sister nor Liu Zhizhou had dragon horns. He had even asked Thirteenth Sister before to confirm that dragon horns could be hidden after Dragon Race takes dragon form.

As for why they didn't conceal it, it was naturally to highlight their lineage and status.

Ao Xiyu also told him a secret: the bloodline of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas is not pure now; only a small number of people chose to assist the Human Emperor back then.

The true lineage of the Dragon Palace has long since retreated to the endless oceans overseas. Although there have been occasional exchanges between the two sides over the years, they have become clearly distinct and can no longer be considered to be on the same side.

The Coming Dragon River leads to the East Sea. These two people appearing in the Coming Dragon Water Prefecture must be descendants of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Just as Yu Tunzhou's thoughts were racing, the old man opposite him suddenly narrowed his vertical pupils to pinpoints, sharp as knives, and stared intently at the young man.

At the second seat closest to the head of the table, Ao Lie from the East Sea Dragon Palace was lecturing his offspring. "Apart from the representative of the Luo Household from the Southeast Commandery of Linshui, none of the others here today deserve our attention."

"Hmph, this Lord Hibernating wants to use the Human Race to intimidate us, it's utterly laughable."

He snorted coldly, his vertical pupils filled with arrogance. "In this world, although the Human Race is powerful, only a few well-established sects and the Great Yan Dynasty can suppress our Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas."

"As for the other sects, if they don't have Dharma Aspect Master overseeing them, we don't need to worry about them too much."

"And he's only in the Early External Scenery, what kind of expert could he possibly invite to this banquet?"

"What you really need to pay attention to and value today is this Dharma Master Jiese across from you."

"This person is the fourth-ranked Human Race on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, and he is your target today."

Upon hearing this, Ao Qingxiao, the young man in brocade robes beside him, nodded. Then, looking at the monk surrounded by several female demons, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes. "Grandfather, is this really Shaolin Temple monk? He's surrounded by women on both sides, he doesn't look like a monk at all. His lust is comparable to that of our Dragon Race."

The old man solemnly said, "Shaolin is one of the ancestral temples of Buddhist School today, and we cannot be careless. This person must be experiencing the myriad aspects of the Mortal World. Didn't you see that he remained seated upright the whole time, his aura as steady as a rock, and his Daoist heart remained completely undisturbed despite the temptation of the female demon? This must have been at his own request to Lord Hibernating."

Ao Qingxiao's eyes showed doubt. "Really? But I just saw him reach out his hand—"

The old man fell silent for a moment, thinking to himself, "Has the Shaolin Temple also fallen into decline? The Human Race is truly getting worse with each generation."

He quickly composed himself and continued, "Among the top ten on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, Jiese is the most suitable target for you. He only uses one technique, the Great Strength Vajra Palm, in his travels because he only learned this one palm technique and follows the path of the ancient Divine Monk Pudu."

Upon hearing the name Pudu, the young man's expression turned solemn.

A thousand years ago, there was a monk named Pudu only practiced one basic Buddhist School palm technique. In the end, he managed to develop it into the Great Compassion Pudu Palm Technique, and finally attained Dharma Aspect.

This lecherous monk has such ambition? And his current fourth position on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking is definitely not solely due to ambition.

Ao Qingxiao's gaze instantly turned fervent. He knew that this was the person he would face for the first time tonight, the stepping stone for him to make a name for himself in the world.

Ao Lie said earnestly, "Now that you Form Refinement Perfection and awakened the Innate Divine Ability of my Dragon Race, even if you haven't fully unleashed your Divine Ability, it is enough for you to fight him. As long as you don't lose too badly in this battle, you can be included in the ranks of the inherited dragon race when you return to the Dragon Palace."

Ao Qingxiao Qingxiao confidently, "Grandfather, don't worry. Even if this person has already developed the Great Strength Vajra Palm to the External Scenery level, I can still hold my own against him, and we might even end up with a draw."

Ao Lie nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you know what you're doing. My Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas is about to reopen the High Ancient Dragon Gate. Only those who are among the inheritors will be qualified to enter."

Ao Qingxiao suddenly frowned. "Grandfather, I heard that some spots in this High Ancient Dragon Gate will be reserved for the Human Race?"

The old man said calmly, "Not only Human Race, but also inland dragon veins such as Dongting and Qiantang must share a portion of the quota. Otherwise, how can my Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas alone withstand the Dragon Race from overseas?"

Ao Qingxiao remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Those overseas are ultimately our own kind, but the Human Race— "

"Shut up." The old man swept a sharp glare across them, his tone icy. "This is none of your business. You consider those overseas fellows your own kind, but they don't see it that way. The day the overseas Dragon Race return, the first to be punished will be those of us, the collateral branches they see as usurping the Dragon Palace!"

Ao Qingxiao frowned; the rumors he had heard were not like that.

But under his grandfather's warning, he dared not speak again.

Suddenly.

"Um?"

Ao Qingxiao and his grandfather's gazes fell on the young man who walked in from outside the door, one after the other, and their brows furrowed.

"A bastard from the Heavenly Peng Daoist Temple?" Ao Qingxiao's tone was full of undisguised disgust.

Ao Lie's expression was serious, his gaze sharp, and he stared intently at the boy opposite him.

The Heavenly Peng's aura, even when both sides were of the same level, only made him feel a little pressure, but more than that, disgust.

But this boy was merely Form Refinement, yet the aura emanating from him instilled in him a deep-seated fear within his bloodline.

This is a warning of a natural enemy, inherited from our ancestors!

Since the beginning of time, there have been powerful beings who have been able to suppress the Dragon Race.

For example, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the strongest Demon Race in the past.

For example, in order to suppress the Dragon Race in the world, the Heavenly Court even specially established the official position of "Dragon Supervising Envoy" to patrol, supervise, and issue edicts to the dragon descendants in the world.

But none of these can be considered the natural enemies of the Dragon Race.

"---- Kunpeng?"

Ao Lie murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Impossible. The last pure-blooded Kunpeng died in High Antiquity. To this day, no Human Race has ever been able to use the Kunpeng as their Dharma Aspect, let alone gain the recognition of the Kunpeng Divine Intent will—"

Ao Lie's expression changed drastically, turning cold. No matter who this kid was, he had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Upon seeing that Yu Tunzhou had been invited to the second seat opposite them, Ao Lie snorted coldly and instantly guessed that this was Lord Hibernating's intention.

The fact that Lord Hibernating dared to act this way indicates that the young man's lineage is definitely not simple.

His gaze was fixed on Yu Tunzhou, and he suddenly transmitted his voice to Ao Qingxiao, saying, "Although this boy's Blood Qi is extremely well-contained, his Blood Qi energy is not yet at the Furnace Realm, and he has only achieved the Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment, which is two realms below yours."

"Before challenging the monk Jiese, you'll feign a fight with him, then find an opportunity to kill him during the battle!"

Ao Lie's vertical pupils revealed undisguised ferocity and coldness.

A mere dragon dares to set up such a scheme, offending the true dragons? Do they really think the East Sea Dragon Palace is timid and afraid to act?

Even if this young man is a disciple of a major Martial Dao sect in the world, if he dies in a battle between peers, it means he was inferior in skill!

As he sensed Yu Tunzhou's aura more and more deeply, the old man's Qi and Blood and qi froze for a moment, and he became increasingly shocked and angry.

Is it really Kunpeng?!

Legend has it that in ancient times, when this creature was born in the sea, it often fed on dragons. After it spread its wings to the Southern Ocean, it would wantonly drive away the dragons from all over the world, and after gathering them together, it would swallow them whole!

If this child truly receives the Kunpeng Divine Intent, he only needs to grow to the Dharma Aspect to suppress Dragon Race in the world today!

He said in a deep voice, his tone resolute and leaving no room for doubt. "Qingxiao, this boy must be killed here! He must not be left alive!"

Ao Qingxiao grinned, his smile ferocious, and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I can crush a martial artist who Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment with a single claw!"

At this moment, in Ao Lie's eyes, Yu Tunzhou was doomed to die. Even if his family pursued the matter, at most his Qingxiao would have to pay with his life.

It was indeed a pity that Qingxiao had to pay with his life, but apart from this child, they were all considered to have made contributions to the various dragon palaces!

With this achievement, their lineage can secure the support of other elders, occupy a high position, and once again sit in the position of master of the East Sea Dragon Palace after a hundred years.

At this moment, the old dragon's eyes were filled with indifference, and it had clearly calculated all the advantages and disadvantages.

Meanwhile, Ao Qingxiao, a young and talented Dragon Race, looked at the Divine Monk Jiese and Yu Tunzhou with a smug expression, as if he could already see himself soon ascending to the Dragon Race's lineage and reaching the Ancient Dragon Gate.

Yu Tunzhou looked at the two opposite him with a strange expression; the malice emanating from them was practically overflowing.

Is it because of the Kunpeng Divine Intent?

But Ao Xiyu had never been so hostile towards him.

He looked at the Dharma Master Jiese beside him and transmitted his voice, "Master, would you be interested in exorcising demons together?"

Jiese was stunned. "What demon is this?"

"An Ruyu, An Ruyu enchantress of the Incense-Smelling Cult!" Yu Tunzhou said solemnly, "This woman has been relentlessly pursuing me lately. I intend to join forces with the master to ambush and capture her!"

Upon hearing An Ruyu's name, Jiese Se's brows furrowed, and he clasped his hands together, saying, "Benefactor Yu is being chased by that demoness? To be honest, I fought her before. This demoness has mastered three External Scenery Divine Ability of the Incense-Smelling Cult Sect, and she also seems to have other deadly moves. She's not easy to deal with."

"This madwoman chased me for hundreds of miles along the river. She's tough, but I have to deal with her." Yu Tunzhou's killing intent surged. "To be honest, Master, in two more days, I will be able to cultivate a top-tier killing Divine Ability."

"Oh?" Jiese Se raised an eyebrow. "Is it Dao-Bestowed Divine Ability born from Martial Fortune?"

"Exactly."

Upon hearing this, Jiese pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, once this matter is settled, I will accompany Benefactor Yu on his journey. Even if we are outmatched, I can still cover Benefactor Yu's retreat."

"Master, your virtue is truly admirable," Yu Tunzhou praised.

Just then...

A series of steady footsteps came from outside the hall.

With unhurried pace, each step seemed to subtly harmonize with the flow of the entire Coming Dragon River.

The guests who had been chatting and laughing all fell silent, turned to look at the hall entrance, sat up straight, and respectfully welcomed the host's arrival.

The Lord Hibernating Dragon, dressed in a green robe, strode into the main hall. His figure was upright, and his aura seemed to blend in with the entire Coming Dragon River, calm and dignified.

Although he was just walking slowly, he gave people a sense of overwhelming pressure, like the tide of the river pressing down on them, revealing the true power of the Demon King in every External Scenery.

Such imposing presence ranks among the top few that Yu Tunzhou has ever witnessed.

Of course, this is also because many of the powerful individuals he has encountered are like ordinary people, keeping their aura hidden and not showing off.

The prefect went straight to the head seat, raised his wine jar, and toasted the guests in the hall. His voice boomed. "Today's banquet serves two purposes: first, with the autumn floods approaching, we wish to discuss with you all the importance of ensuring the safety of the river channels and protecting the people and merchants on both banks; second, to welcome our distinguished guests. Enough of pleasantries, I, the king, will drink first as a sign of my respect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the entire jar of wine in one gulp, displaying extraordinary generosity, which drew cheers from all the guests, who raised their glasses in response.

In an instant, toasts were exchanged and the Inner Qi became lively.

Yu Tunzhou picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and then lowered his head to eat.

It must be said that the dishes at this water mansion are truly exceptional; the river carp are delicious, and the shrimp meat is sweet and fresh.

The one who Jiese was even more impolite than him, stuffing his cheeks full, and then asked the waiter next to him to add more food.

Yu Tunzhou picked up a piece of lotus root and ate it with relish, his gaze subtly sweeping across the seats opposite him.

The hostility and malice these two showed towards him were too obvious; a confrontation was probably inevitable today.

really.

After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the hall was in full swing.

Suddenly, a figure stood up abruptly.

It was the young dragon descendant in brocade robes sitting opposite the Yu Tunzhou who stood up, raised his cup to toast everyone, and said in a clear voice with the innate pride of the Dragon Race: "I have long heard of the countless talents among the Human Race in the Central Plains, a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Today, on the occasion of this grand gathering, I, Ao Qingxiao, would like to take this opportunity to learn a thing or two from the young talents of the Human Race, to make friends through martial arts, to enhance the drinking atmosphere, and to make the most of this banquet."

The entire hall fell silent instantly, and all eyes were on him.

Many people frowned and glanced at Lord Hibernating Dragon in the main seat, but the host's expression remained unchanged.

At this moment, Lord Hibernating Dragon shook his head and said, "Nephew Ao comes from the East Sea Dragon Palace and is an honored guest today. How can we let an honored guest take the lead? I will send some of my subordinates to entertain everyone."

Ao Lie smiled and said slowly, "It's alright. Soon, the talents of various clans will likely gather in my Dragon Palace. Seeing the young talents of the Human Race in advance can help quell some of the opposition within our clans. It's not a bad thing."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of some of the powerful clans changed slightly, as they had all heard rumors about it to varying degrees beforehand.

Lord Hibernating Dragon looked troubled and said, "There aren't many young talents here today, so let's fight another time."

"Your Excellency is too kind."

Ao Qingxiao's aura intensified. He raised his hand and pointed to the chief seat opposite him, his gaze blazing. "If I'm not mistaken, these two, who can sit in seats equal to those of my East Sea Dragon Palace, are undoubtedly first-rate Human Race talents. I, Ao, am unworthy, but I wish to exchange a few blows with you both to test our Martial Dao."

His gaze first fell on Yu Tunzhou, and he smiled, "This young hero looks unfamiliar, but he must be quite skilled. Would you dare to challenge me?"

The atmosphere in the hall became strange and unsettling.

Everyone could see that this young man from the Dragon Race had ill intentions. However, if he didn't accept the challenge when they were pressing him so hard, his reputation wouldn't be good in the future.

at this time.

Yu Tunzhou put down his chopsticks, picked up a cloth from the table, slowly wiped his hands, looked up at Ao Qingxiao, and smiled, "What realm are you at, sir?"

"I am Form Refinement Perfection." After Ao Qingxiao finished speaking, fearing that Yu Tunzhou would find an excuse to refuse, he added, "You and I are just testing our skills, treating it as a warm-up. If you feel that I have bullied you, I can tie my own hands and feet!"

Bind one hand and one foot?

Yu Tunzhou grinned and said, "Since you come from the East Sea, you are a guest. How can we let a guest tie his own hands? How about this, I will sit here and not move, and take three moves from you. If you can make me leave my seat, then you win."

The guests in the hall gasped instantly, staring at Yu Tunzhou in disbelief.

With his Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment, he sat motionless and withstood three attacks from the Dragon Race prodigy at Form Refinement Perfection.

Is this boy insane, or does he truly possess extraordinary abilities?!

Some people quickly frowned, pondering which family in the world today had a surname like "fish".

Ao Lie was also secretly trying to recall which family this boy surnamed Yu belonged to.

Upon hearing this, Ao Qingxiao in the hall was first taken aback, then burst into laughter in anger. "Very well! Indeed, the Human Race produces outstanding talents!"

"Young Hero Yu, if you can truly sit still and withstand three of my moves, I, Ao Qingxiao, will give you my head!"

Yu Tunzhou said with a faint smile, "Don't be too sure of yourself. If you lose, what use will I have for your head?"

I've heard that the ancient sages loved to ride dragons to roam beyond the six extremes, to travel to the land of nothingness. If you lose, you may become my servant.

Ao Qingxiao's eyes were now filled with an undisguised, ferocious killing intent. "Fine! As you wish!"

He didn't even ask Yu Tunzhou what happened after he lost, because in his eyes, Yu Tunzhou was already a dead man.

Yu Tunzhou ignored him and instead looked at Ao Lie behind Ao Qingxiao and the Lord of the Lord Hibernating Dragon.

Ao Lie snorted coldly. Although he knew Qingxiao couldn't possibly lose, he absolutely couldn't accept this bet.

Lord Hibernating Dragon sighed, "Nephew Yu, your bet is too big. The East Sea will not allow a pure-blooded dragon to serve someone. How about we find someone else and have him follow you to learn martial arts for ten years? There is precedent for that."

At the same time, Dao Source Lord Hibernating Dragon entered Yu Tunzhou's ears.

"This young man comes from the East Sea. His Innate Divine Ability is suspected to be the ability to Summoning Wind and Rain, and he has the ability to control lightning. Nephew Yu, please do not be careless. I will take action when necessary. I have long admired the Great Hero Mo for many years."

Yu Tunzhou seemed to be deep in thought; it turned out this was because of Old Mo.

Jiese also sent a telepathic warning. "Benefactor Yu, please be careful. Perhaps I should take your place."

Yu Tunzhou replied telepathically, "It's nothing, just a clown."

Jiese felt envious upon hearing this. He came from Buddhist School, so he could never utter such carefree words, otherwise he would be committing a sin of speech.

Yu Tunzhou raised his wine glass in a toast to Ao Qingxiao, and smiled, saying, "Ten years."

Ao Qingxiao took a deep breath, intending to provoke Yu Tunzhou into a fight, but the latter's attitude completely enraged him.

He stepped forward, his entire body erupting with Qi and Blood far surpassing that of others of the same level, and sneered, "You can say for as long as you want, ten years, a hundred years, it's all up to you!"

The guests in the hall looked solemn. The Demon Race was known for its abundant Qi and Blood, not to mention the Dragon Race race, which once dominated the world.

This child's Blood Qi is probably equivalent to that of several Form Refinement Perfection!

Ao Qingxiao let out a long roar, his Blood Qi surging and turning into a furnace. His punch was without any fancy moves. Before the wind of the punch even arrived, the surrounding air was already torn apart. With the domineering power of splitting water and breaking the sea, it went straight for Yu Tunzhou's face!

He wanted to see what tricks this young man had up his sleeve to dare to be so arrogant!

But the next moment, everyone was stunned.

That domineering punch landed a foot in front of Yu Tunzhou, as if it had crashed into a bottomless pool of still water, instantly silencing him.

Yu Tunzhou sits motionless, its entire body a black and white energy that transforms into a miniature Taiji Diagram.

It is precisely the [Taiji Domain].

Ao Qingxiao's punch, powerful enough to shatter rocks and pierce gold, vanished into the Taiji Domain like a mud ox entering the sea; the force of the punch...

Ninety percent of the force dissipated in an instant.

In the end, the fist, which carried immense power, was firmly blocked by a light touch of Yu Tunzhou's casually raised left index finger, and could not advance even an inch further.

"The first move."

Yu Tunzhou's tone was flat.

Ao Qingxiao's pupils contracted sharply, but he quickly regained his composure, withdrew his fist, and stepped back, coldly saying, "Impressive divine power. I misjudged Divine Ability; you are actually Human Race Immortal Seed."

"However, you've only achieved Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment; how much of this Divine Ability can you actually unleash? Besides, you're not the only one in this world with Divine Ability!"

A crimson-gold light gradually appeared in his eyes. He suddenly raised his finger to the sky and shouted sharply, "Wind! Rain! Thunder!"

As soon as those three words were spoken, the atmosphere inside the hall changed drastically!

Boundless water vapor condensed out of thin air, a gale swept through, making the cups and saucers in front of everyone clink and rattle. Wisps of silver lightning also danced around, and muffled thunder rumbled and exploded in the hall, making everyone's eardrums hurt!

On the main seat, Lord Hibernating Dragon's expression was solemn; indeed, he possessed the art of Summoning Wind and Rain!

This is the foundation of the High Antiquity Dragon Race race's ability to control clouds and rain, and they also possessed the power of thunder!

At this moment, with Ao Qingxiao pointing—

The gale, sharp as a blade, swept in from all directions, tearing and slashing.

The raindrops transformed into countless fine needles, blanketing the sky and earth.

Finally, a bolt of lightning, like a spear, struck the head of the Yu Tunzhou in an instant. With a deafening roar, the lightning spear exploded, scattering into countless fragments of lightning that merged with the wind and rain, transforming into the second offensive!

Wind, rain, and thunder—a triple strike!

Such power would severely injure even a martial artist at the Early Divine Ability Stage if they were to take it head-on!

Everyone in the hall held their breath, staring intently at the scene, wanting to see if the young man could still handle the situation as calmly as before.

The next moment, everyone's expression changed.

No matter how strong the wind, rain, thunder, or lightning, once they enter the Taiji Domain, all Divine Ability and supernatural powers are forcibly reduced by 90%!

In the end, the lightning still didn't touch the hem of Yu Tunzhou's clothes.

"The second move."

The hall was already deathly silent when Yu Tunzhou's voice rang out again, calm and collected.

Everyone noticed that, even now, not a single drop of wine had spilled from the cup in the young man's right hand.

Ao Qingxiao's face flushed red, his eyes filled with madness.

Even his most powerful Innate Divine Ability couldn't break through the opponent's Dao-Bestowed Divine Ability!

This child has only Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment; how can he wield such Divine Ability to such an extent?!

Even he was unable to fully unleash the power of this Divine Ability ability!

No way—he's a prodigy of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and he's here to challenge the Divine Monk Jiese and gain a renowned reputation. How can he possibly be defeated by a Human Race boy who has only reached the initial Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment?

A dragon's roar suddenly resounded throughout the palace.

Ao Qingxiao's brocade robe burst open, revealing dense, silvery-white dragon scales on his upper body, and his eyes blazed with golden light.

Lord Hibernating Dragon, seated in the main seat, frowned and glanced at Ao Lie.

They've even resorted to bloodline secret techniques?

Ao Lie's expression was grim, but he showed no intention of stopping it.

The consequences of the bloodline secret technique are certainly severe, but if we really lose this battle, the consequences will be even more unimaginable!

"Let's see how you block my third move!"

Ao Qingxiao roared and forcefully unleashed his Innate Divine Ability once again.

"Wind, rain, thunder!"

The Inner Qi ever-changing, and the lightning was much thicker than before, transforming into a lightning dragon that coiled around Ao Qingxiao's right arm.

At this moment, he gathered all his Qi and Blood and Divine Ability power, and pointed a finger at Yu Tunzhou's impenetrable field, attempting to break through the seemingly flawless defense by focusing on a single point.

Even the strongest defensive Divine Ability has its limits!

Just as that finger pierced within a foot of the Yu Tunzhou, Ao Qingxiao's expression changed drastically, and a surge of divine intent nearly made his soul fly away.

A vast and powerful pressure originating from the depths of his bloodline was suddenly spreading out from Yu Tunzhou.

In a daze, everyone present seemed to hear a cry that pierced through eternity, a cry of extreme violence.

Ao Qingxiao's bloodline power became uncontrollably stagnant, and the bloodline power that had been condensed to its limit instantly dissipated by more than half under the suppression of this divine will!

He strained with all his might, his eyes bloodshot, trying to extend his fingertips, but that mere inch felt like an insurmountable chasm.

No matter how much strength he exerted or how much Divine Ability he activated, that finger remained stationary an inch in front of Yu Tunzhou's brow, unable to advance even a fraction further!

In the end, he still couldn't even touch the hem of Yu Tunzhou's clothes.

The hall was deathly silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them, seemingly forgetting even to breathe.

The Dragon Race prodigy, a Form Refinement Perfection, unleashed three full-force attacks, yet he couldn't even make a mere youth at the Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment leave his seat, nor could he even get close to him?

What kind of Divine Ability is this?!

"Three moves have passed, Brother Ao, please stand behind me." Yu Tunzhou laughed loudly. "Rest assured, you will not disgrace your name of the East Sea while following me."

Ao Qingxiao was completely drained of his strength. He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground. His face turned deathly pale due to the backlash from the bloodline secret technique.

Ao Lie suddenly stood up, staring intently at Yu Tunzhou, his face ashen, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and fear.

Kunpeng!

Truly Kunpeng!

This child has already gained the approval of the Kunpeng Divine Intent and is the successor of the Kunpeng in this world!

That carefree and unrestrained Kunpeng actually chose a Human Race youth as its successor?!

He intended to kill the boy directly and then flee to the East Sea, but he felt the cold gaze of the Lord Hibernating Dragon.

The imposing aura emanating from the External Scenery, blending seamlessly with the 800-mile- Coming Dragon River, had already firmly locked onto him.

At this moment, Lord Hibernating Dragon raised his cup and laughed loudly, "Young Hero Yu truly lives up to his reputation as the chosen successor of Great Hero Mo technique. Even with only Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment, he can already unleash the Force-Dissipating Divine Ability to this extent; it is truly admirable!"

Having said that, he raised his cup in a toast to Yu Tunzhou.

Yu Tunzhou remained calm and composed, raising his glass of wine, which had not spilled a drop, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ao Lie's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked up at Yu Tunzhou. This young man was the successor of the sixth-ranked fist technique on the Heaven Ranking?!

The guests in the hall finally came to their senses, cheered loudly, and raised their glasses in celebration.

Someone finally realized what was happening.

Great Hero Mo?!

"Young hero, are you Yu Tunzhou, currently Reserve Ranking number one on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking List of Candidates?!"

The third leader of Vast and Mighty Escort Agency looked shocked, raised his cup and sighed, "Not long ago, when I saw the Reserve Ranking, I thought that Star Palace and Jixia Academy had gone against their conscience and ranked people to curry favor with that Great Hero Mo. But after seeing it today, I realize how narrow-minded I was."

"Indeed, judging the vastness of the world with a limited perspective ultimately leads to ridicule."

"To have mastered Divine Ability Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment to such an extent, Young Hero Yu, have you perhaps already glimpsed the profound mysteries of the laws?"

These words caused the hall to fall silent once more, and all eyes turned back to Yu Tunzhou.

The Form Refinement Perfection reveals the profound mysteries of the law and fully displays the wonders of Divine Ability; this is the exclusive domain of a prodigy.

But to glimpse the Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment is something never heard of before!

The Jiese monk standing nearby also put down his sweet and sour river fish, his gaze thoughtful.

The black and white aura surrounding Benefactor Yu just now seems quite extraordinary.

Furthermore, the fish benefactor told him that he would be able to develop a top-tier offensive Divine Ability in two days, but what he just used was clearly a top-tier defensive divine Divine Ability.

Could it be that, having achieved Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment- forming technique, Master Yu has already mastered two top-tier Divine Ability?
