True Martial World - Chapter 940: Catoptric Deflection

Nongying wore a white short-sleeved robe with golden bells attached to her snow-white wrists and ankles. She was an exquisite beauty, with large eyes and an unsmiling face, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone when she appeared.

"White Fox clan, Nongying." Nongying said calmly.

Tianya Haoyue gave a faint smile and said, "I’d have been somewhat interested in meeting Princess White Fox in battle, but for you… "

Tianya Haoyue shook his head, clearly feeling great disdain for Nongying.

He flapped his feathered fan and said, "Make your move, I'll give you a three-move handicap."

Tianya Haoyue shook his fan, with no intention to reveal his weapon.

Nongying's face turned slightly warm as she tiptoed on her toes slightly, taking a step forward with a curious kind of footwork.

"Ding!"

A clear ringing sound of bells instantly resounded in everyone's ears. It was pleasing to the ears, but it caused people to fall into a trance when they heard it. At the same time, Nongying's footwork was not ordinary. It looked like an elegant dance, but taking another look would put one end up in stupefaction.

Nongying darted towards Tianya Haoyue. Despite her speed not appearing to be fast, she left behind a series of shadows in the eyes of millions of warriors. The clear ringing of the bells succeeded one after another.

Tianya Haoyue chuckled, but he did not enter a defensive pose, allowing Nongying to come at him.

"I said that I'll give you a three-move handicap. During these three moves, I'll not move a single step." Tianya Haoyue's words echoed throughout the southern desolate mountain plains, causing Nongying to frown.

As for the White Fox disciples, they were upset because of his statement.

Nongying was one of the two Shadow Twins. Furthermore, she was even stronger than Nongyue. Even if she was no match for Tianya Haoyue, it was an act of arrogance to not even make a single move!

Yi Yun had defeated Ye Yi in a devastating manner, but that was with Yi Yun using a real attack on Ye Yi.

Although Yi Yun had used a brick, the brick was flickering with nomological runes that looked profound in nature. It was clearly not an ordinary move.

As for Tianya Haoyue, he was crazier than Yi Yun!

"If that's the case, try taking this." Nongying said coldly.

Ding Ding Ding!

The bells rang in close succession as Nongying's figure transformed into countless shadows in the midst of the ringing. Warriors who had low cultivation levels were already feeling dizzy. Just listening to the ringing seemed to induce blood vomiting.

The motions that the shadows did were varied, but they attacked Tianya Haoyue simultaneously!

All possible angles for dodging had been sealed off.

Some people could not even stand firmly in the face of the ringing, so how was one to withstand the overwhelming attack?

Many warriors were secretly horrified. Although the White Fox clan's Shadow Twins were rather famous, they paled in comparison at this event. But when Nongying made her move, the warriors came to a realization that these geniuses that seemingly paled in comparison were the cream of the crop that stood out from billions of warriors!

Nongying had gone all out on her first move!

However, Tianya Haoyue remained composed. He stood in his original spot with a smile, apparently having no intention of dodging.

Seeing the attacks about to land, Tianya Haoyue mentally conjured something immediately as a transparent wall appeared around him. This 'wall' was resonating with ripples, slightly reflecting the sunlight like the surface of water.

Nongying's countless shadows were reflected on this watery wall.

"Ding!"

As the ringing suddenly reached a single crescendo, all of the shadows vanished.

Nongying was sent flying backward, stumbling when she landed on the ground.

Her face was pale as blood flowed out of her ears.

What just happened?

Nongyue, who had been clenching her fist and hoping that Nongying would teach Tianya Haoyue a brutal lesson, was astounded.

The White Fox disciples were puzzled as well.

Nongying was the one attacking a motionless Tianya Haoyue, but why was Nongying the one injured?

"Nongying's ears are bleeding. She had received attacks from the ringing of bells. It's Nongying's own attack!"

"Why did that happen?" A White Fox disciple asked in a fascinated manner.

"Catoptric Deflection! That is the top martial technique of our World Margin Sect. Only Senior Brother Haoyue was able to master it among the younger generation of disciples! Catoptric Deflection can sense all nomological changes in the opponent's martial arts, replicating it perfectly. This is what it means to pay somebody back with her own coin." A World Margin Sect disciple smugly said.

For the World Margin Sect to possess such a top martial technique, as World Margin Sect disciples, they too gained pride from it, so it was natural for them to take the opportunity to promote it.

"Quickly make your next move. You still have two more to go." Tianya Haoyue said.

Nongying raised her hand and she used her slender fingers to wipe the blood from her ears before suddenly charging forward.

This time, her actions were much slower than before, but the ringing was more intensive and ringing at a greater frequency. Visible warping of space could be seen around her.

And within the warped space, countless threads appeared alongside the ringing of the bells.

Nongying was centered amid the threads, filling almost the entire space.

Suddenly, all the threads gathered as one!

The threads tore through the void and swept towards Tianya Haoyue!

The spectating warriors felt a tingling pain in their eyes, for every thin thread contained extremely lethal and horrifying power.

"This is a nomological move Sis learned while in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven." Nongyue said. She knew what was on Nongying's mind. Even if she were to be defeated, she wanted to make Tianya Haoyue do the act of blocking!

"Not bad, but it's useless against me." Tianya Haoyue sneered as light from Catoptric Deflection bloomed.

Bam! Nongying flew backward like a kite with a broken thread, before collapsing to the ground.

Her white arms and calves were covered in streaks of blood as she spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked like she was in a miserable state.

Tianya Haoyue shook his head and waved his fan, saying, "You are too weak."

"Sis!" Nongyue's face turned pale as she angrily looked at Tianya Haoyue, "You were too harsh on her!"

Other than Nongyue, many of the warriors could tell that Nongying's attacking strength was inferior to Tianya Haoyue. He did not simply reflect the move, he had enhanced the replication of Nongying's move before returning it to her.

In the series of battles, everyone else only did what was necessary, but Tianya Haoyue showed no mercy, seriously injuring Nongying.

Tianya Haoyue shook his head as he ignored Nongyue completely. Instead, he looked at the pale Nongying, "You still have one more move, which is also the last move. Do not disappoint me any further."

He still wanted to carry on fighting?

Nongying was already severely injured. Under such circumstances, the outcome was already decided. With him saying this, was he intentionally trying to humiliate her?

The White Fox disciples were enraged. In the seats of honor, Princess White Fox's eyes turned cold.

Just as she was about to say a word, Nongying had already stood up.

"You can throw in the towel if you wish." Tianya Haoyue said.

Nongying looked calm as she said, "This is the final move. Take it."

In the arena, she represented the White Fox clan, so how could she throw in the towel?

Princess White Fox looked at Nongying, and from Nongying's eyes, she could see determination.

She did not say another word for this was a battle belonging to Nongying.

In a series of bell chimes, Nongying's head was lowered slightly, but when she raised her head and opened her eyes, her eyes had turned scarlet, as though she was a real fox!

At the same time, her aura suffused an air of extreme danger.

Boom!

A terrifying power erupted from Nongying's petite body as her figure instantly disappeared from where she was standing. A deep crater suddenly appeared where she stood as cracks like spiderwebs emanated across the ground.

A rare change appeared in Tianya Haoyue's expression, as a coldness flashed in his eyes.

At the same moment, the feathered fan in his hand emitted a dazzling brilliance. Catoptric Deflection activate once again, conjuring a gigantic mirror surface that stood in front of him.

Bam!

A loud explosion boomed like a mountain that was crumbling!

And from within the explosion burst of light, a figure flew out.

Princess White Fox rushed from the seats of honor and when she landed gently on the ground, she held a blood-covered Nongying, whose eyes were closed tightly, in one hand. As for her other hand, she flicked her long sleeves, dissipating the remaining forces.

True Martial World - Chapter 939: Skyfire Lunar Occultation

Goddess of the River Luo was the totem ancestor of the Luo clan. She had a feminine image when she was compared to a female human, but she had a snake's tail instead of legs.

With a broadsword in her hand, Goddess Luo's body charged into the sky, but her tail remained in the Eternal Eventide Star. And at that moment, her broadsword came slashing straight at Xi Ye!

The strike had an indomitable momentum, and in the sword beam, Luo Huo'er had transformed into a stream of light that merged with the sword beam!

At that moment, Xi Ye could discern two swords in Luo Huo'er's hands.

One of them was the soft sword that resembled a red ribbon, which Luo Huo'er had used earlier.

As for the other sword that made its first appearance, it was a broadsword that was about as wide as a palm. It was dark red in color, and there were complicated runes engraved on the blade.

A soft sword and a heavy sword were weapons that did not seem to be compatible when used together, but they were perfectly used in unison by Luo Huo'er. Two sword beams slashed out at the same time!

"Skyfire Lunar Occultation!”

At the moment that the two swords hit, it was like heaven and earth had turned into a sea of fire.

Xi Ye clenched her teeth as the gigantic eye in the sky poured black Chaos down. She cracked her whip and it snapped straight at Luo Huo'er's attack.

The dark galaxy spiraled while it collided with the surging Skyfire.

Boom!

The intense explosion resulted in an inferno, turning into a radiant sun in the sky. The slash from the two swords, combined with the might of the Goddess Luo, caused the darkness surrounding Xi Ye to dissipate because of the fire!

Luo Huo'er's sword moved forward unopposed, stabbing in between Xi Ye's eyebrows!

Peng!

Xi Ye trembled as the metallic accessory on her forehead shattered!

An almost infinite amount of fire-elemental energy nearly tore through Xi Ye's soul, sending her retreating. Her face was pale, and on her fair-skinned forehead, a scar had been left behind by Luo Huo'er.

The scar was the size of a plum, resembling a black flame. It was a burn mark from Luo Huo'er's sword tip.

Such a scar could easily be treated using precious elixirs, but it was a greatly humiliating to have a scar appear on Xi Ye's face.

Xi Ye held one hand to her forehead as the remnant fire-elemental energy surged around her body.

The flames that were cultivated by Luo Huo'er were undying in nature. They seemed to consume Xi Ye's energy to replenish themselves, allowing them to continue for prolonged periods of time.

Xi Ye's meridians were injured, preventing her from dissolving the wanton energies.

In mid-air, the gigantic eye had already dissipated, while the Goddess of the River Luo was gradually fading away as well.

Luo Huo'er stood mid-air with the soft sword in one hand, and a broadsword in another as her clothes fluttered.

The millions of spectators fell silent momentarily when they saw the outcome.

Luo Huo'er had been sealed in the Eternal Eventide Star, a technique suspected to be an ancient mystic technique. It was an odd attack and nomologically profound. After all, it was able to project a distant galaxy.

However, such a sealing technique had been slashed apart by a single move from Luo Huo'er.

After slashing the Eternal Eventide Star apart, Luo Huo'er had used 'Skyfire Lunar Occultation' to defeat Xi Ye in one strike!

The battle did not give people the opportunity to breathe from beginning to end.

Was it really a battle between Heaven Ascension realm warriors?

Seeing the arena that was nearly reduced to lava from the flames, the spectators were distraught. Be it the profound laws or the terrifying energy fluctuations from the attacks, they had surpassed the limits of Heaven Ascension realm warriors. They had even surpassed most Dao Manifestation realm warriors.

"Her Highness has won!"

The Luo clan's warriors were extremely excited. With Princess Purple Spirit exhibiting her prowess, revealing the Goddess of the Luo River, they felt a collective sense of pride!

As for the people from the Eternal Eventide Sea, they had ugly expressions. Their Eternal Eventide Sea was here to fight Chi Zhuiyun and they did not think much of Chi Zhuiyun sweeping through the Luo clan unopposed.

But just moments ago, Yi Yun had first instantly defeated Ye Yi with a brick, followed by Princess Purple Spirit defeating Goddess Xi Ye in a grand manner.

As for what Xi Ye previously said, it was still fresh on their minds, but in a blink of an eye… their Eternal Eventide Sea had suffered an abject defeat. Not only was Xi Ye disgraced, they felt disgraced as ordinary clansmen as well.

As Xi Ye listened to the jubilant cheers from the Luo clan's warriors, her face turned pale.

She stared angrily at Luo Huo'er before her figure flashed. She returned to her seat of honor after transforming into a plume of black smoke.

"I want to see how many times she can remain undefeated." Xi Ye said coldly.

As Yi Yun looked at Xi Ye, he felt rather speechless. She had lost so badly to the point of being unable to redeem herself, yet she insisted on watching the battles to wait for the moment of Luo Huo'er's defeat... Even if Luo Huo'er was defeated, the person who defeated her would not be Xi Ye.

And at that moment, another wave of cheers was heard from the millions of warriors.

Oracle Fey Kingdom's Demon Girl had accepted the challenge from Tian Yaping of the World Margin Sect and she had clinched victory!

Tian Yaping looked disheartened. He was planning on flexing his skills at the event, but he was eliminated right from the beginning. Just Demon Girl alone had rendered him helpless in defeat, let alone Chi Zhuiyun. He did not even find his footing when he set foot on the arena before he was defeated. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

In the seats of honor, Yu Tianfeng said with a laugh, "Demon Girl is not lacking in strength. If anyone were to belittle her, they would suffer heavy losses and remember their terrible mistake."

It was hard to tell what was on Tianya Haoyue's mind as the corners of his mouth twitched, "Isn't it perfect that she doesn't lack strength? This would indicate that Chi Zhuiyun's strength is something worth looking forward to."

While speaking, he made his move. Like a swimming dragon, he descended on the desolate plain.

He shook a feathered fan and he looked extremely refined. He resembled a scholar that dabbled in poetry more than a warrior.

"Senior Brother Haoyue! Senior Brother Haoyue!" The World Margin Sect disciples shouted loudly.

Their euphoria was uniform, sending cheers that echoed in waves throughout the southern desolate mountain plains.

As the top disciple of the World Margin Sect, Tianya Haoyue represented power amongst the sect's disciples. The World Margin Sect advocated the importance of strength. Whoever could overpower the rest to become the strongest who took the top spot.

Tianya Ping's defeat had caused a dark cloud to hang over the World Margin Sect disciples, but it was swept clean by Tianya Haoyue's appearance. They were filled with limitless anticipation that Tianya Haoyue would redeem the World Margin Sect’s pride.

"Who shall participate in the battle?" Tianya Haoyue asked.

Near the arena, Nongying took a deep breath. She knew that she had nearly no chance at winning the battle, but since she had been chosen, she could not retreat from the fight. Even though her opponent was very powerful, she was bent on treating the battle seriously, so as to not sully the White Fox clan's reputation.

Now, Ye Yi, Tianya Ping and Demon Girl had each fought a battle. Those remaining were top geniuses from the various factions. Without any other opponent, she could only battle Tianya Haoyue.

Even though she knew that her hopes were slim.

"Whew!"

A frail-looking figure landed opposite Tianya Haoyue.

True Martial World - Chapter 938: Eternal Eventide Star

Half a minute had passed before the flames gradually dissipated. Everyone focused their eyes, but the scene in the arena stifled their breaths.

There was a gigantic purple eye floating above the arena. In the eye's pupil, there was what seemed to be a vast and endless spiraling galaxy.

The large and dazzling stars drifted through the galaxy in such a manner that they seemed to have a grip on anyone who glanced at them. They pulled at them with no means of escape.

This was definitely no ordinary illusion, but it was also impossible for an eye to contain a true galaxy. Instead, it was a distant sector of the universe that had been projected into the pupil.

This technique was very astounding.

"The collapse of stars... the descent of the eternal night. You should be proud that you were able to force me to use the Eternal Eventide Star Technique."

The black-dressed Xi Ye slowly landed in front of the gigantic eye. Her clothes were fluttering gently, while her hair was being blown around in the wind, making her look exceedingly elegant.

"Eternal Eventide Star Technique? What sort of technique is that?"

The members of the Luo clan were puzzled regarding this matter. Ancient factions like the Luo clan and the Eternal Eventide Sea, that had existed for more than a hundred million years, would have explored countless mystic realms. It would not be surprising to find remnant copies of mystic techniques that were on the Divine Lord level in them.

However, despite having these ancient mystic techniques present in the faction, they were usually extremely demanding and difficult to comprehend. Coupled with the lack of available instruction, the number of people that could master such techniques were exceedingly scarce!

For the Eternal Eventide Star Technique to have such an astounding effect when being conjured by someone with a cultivation level at the Heaven Ascension perfection realm, to the point of being able to project a galaxy that was located in the far reaches of the Universe, it was most likely an ancient heritage obtained by the Eternal Eventide Sea from a particular mystic realm.

Such a heritage was most likely incomplete, so it definitely needed extraordinary perception just to gain some basic mastery in it.

With the Eternal Eventide Star Technique being used, the entire arena was shrouded in darkness. It was like an eternal night had fallen as darkness penetrated every inch of the area.

When Luo Huo'er was enveloped by the Eternal Eventide, she felt like the world external to her became increasingly unreal, and the darkness became more and more extensive and viscous, like it was engulfing everything and isolating her from everything.

Luo Huo'er suddenly sensed that the southern desolate mountain plains were moving far away from her, and the surrounding warriors had also opened up a distance from her, like she was being isolated.

A seal!?

Luo Huo'er immediately realized what had happened.

And at that moment, the audience was seeing a completely different scenario. What they saw was that the viscous darkness was gradually shrinking again and again under the envelopment of the gigantic eye.

It went from shrouding the entire arena to a vortex of darkness that was several feet wide.

Next, the dark vortex had shrunk to a few inches in size... a black ball the size of a peach. When this happened, Xi Ye grabbed it with her hand.

"That is!?"

The millions of spectators had witnessed this spectacle. An expansive zone of perpetual eventide had been shrunk to the size of a peach. No! It was already smaller than the size of a peach, and Luo Huo'er, who had been enveloped by it, had already vanished along with it!

Could Luo Huo'er be trapped in that tiny black ball!?

Everyone looked at the black ball. Having great eyesight as warriors, they could discern all of the details of the black ball despite the large distance.

It resembled a mini-universe. On the boundary of the darkness, there was a projection of uncountable stars. Despite it being small in size, it gave people a sense of magnificence.

"Princess Purple Spirit!"

"What did you do to Princess Purple Spirit!?"

The millions of spectators could not remain calm. Princess Purple Spirit, the most talented person in the Luo clan, had been sealed in a ball of darkness. With a ball the size of a peach or smaller, who knew what had happened to Princess Purple Spirit!

"Hmph! Luo Huo'er has been sealed in my Eternal Eventide Star. Without me willing it, she will forever be lost in a chaotic space, never to escape! Over time, her power will be gradually eroded by the darkness, turning her into a cripple. Or with a simple thought of mine, her body will be devoured by the darkness!" Xi Ye said brightly as the surrounding members of the Luo clan had turned anxious.

"Let Princess Purple Spirit out!" People shouted. It was fine even if the battle was lost, but Princess Purple Spirit was not to be harmed.

"Let her out? Heh heh heh heh!" Xi Ye laughed out in a clear and charming manner. "I will let her out, but not yet. She has to pay the price for her arrogance. This is the outcome of challenging me and challenging my Eternal Eventide clan! In two hours, I will release her from the Eternal Eventide Star. Considering how talented she is, she should be able to endure it for two hours." Xi Ye said with a sneer.

As she spoke, she looked at Yi Yun. "The next person will be you. Do you think that your strength is heads and shoulders above the Eternal Eventide Sea after defeating Ye Yi? I will let you know how hopeless the gap between the two of us is. You will experience a hopelessness that resembles sinking into the eternal and infinite eventide!"

Xi Ye's words were extremely arrogant. Yi Yun frowned slightly. She really was detestable, making him feel like beating her up.

Just as he was pondering about how the Eternal Eventide Star Technique could be cracked, Yi Yun suddenly uttered a light cry.

He looked at the black ball in Xi Ye's hand. The darkness energy that was stable had suddenly become chaotic.

"Huh!?"

Xi Ye felt a jolt as she looked at the completely sealed Eternal Eventide Star. As its creator, she could clearly sense that the world of darkness that she had built up was collapsing from the inside!

What!?

The Eternal Eventide Star was equivalent to a small world that was created by Xi Ye. In this small world, she was the overlord, but now, the world was collapsing!

Cha! Cha! Cha!

Fiery-red beams burst out of the ball of darkness, riddling the boundary of the ball with hundreds, if not thousands, of holes. From afar, the Eternal Eventide Star looked like a radiant sun.

"How could this be possible!?"

Xi Ye's expression changed drastically. As one of the few people in the Eternal Eventide Sea who could master the Eternal Eventide Star Technique, Xi Ye understood how powerful this mystic technique was, but now, it looked like it was being dismantled!

Was it Luo Huo'er? How could she crack it!?

Xi Ye had no time to ponder about it as the amount of red light that burst out of the Eternal Eventide Star increased and grew in intensity. It was like the Eternal Eventide Star had been ignited. Without any choice, Xi Ye leaped back because the peach-sized Eternal Eventide Star was emitting thousands of beams of dazzling light at that moment. The entire arena was blinding!

Boom!

A violent explosion could be heard as a phantom image of a goddess of war dressed in armor charged out of the exploding Eternal Eventide Star. She was as tall as the mountains, and she had a broadsword in her hand. The gold armor that covered her shone brilliantly!

Goddess of the River Luo! It was the Luo clan's totem — the Ancient Fey, Goddess of the River Luo!

Millions of Luo clan clansmen exclaimed. The Goddess of the River Luo which could only be seen during rituals had appeared in front of their very eyes!

True Martial World - Chapter 937: Purple Spirit vs Xi Ye

Luo Huo'er wanted to battle Xi Ye?

Everyone held their breaths. They never expected that the battles would be this intense right from the very beginning.

They believed that the best of the best face would face each other in battle only at the end. They never expected that the Luo clan would directly go against the Eternal Eventide Sea!

First, Yi Yun had defeated Ye Yi, and now, Luo Huo'er wanted to battle the goddess, Xi Ye!

The pangs of fury suppressed by the members of the Luo clan, which had been ignited by the arrogant words declared by the Eternal Eventide Sea, finally felt as though they had been vented clean.

"Princess Purple Spirit!"

"Princess Purple Spirit!"

"Princess Purple Spirit!"

The members of the Luo clan were shouting loudly. After all, Luo Huo'er's popularity in the Luo clan exceeded Yi Yun's.

In the stands where the seats of honor were, goddess Xi Ye snorted coldly and flew off from her seat!

Suddenly, Luo Huo'er and Xi Ye, two daughters that were the pride of the heavens stood mid-air, facing each other thousands of feet apart above the battle arena!

Luo Huo'er was dressed in red, and she resembled a burning flame. As for Xi Ye, her black hair and dress made her seem like a source of darkness.

"You are treating it as though you, the Luo clan, has surpassed my Eternal Eventide clan just by defeating Ye Yi?"

Xi Ye's voice was like a cold rain that splashed across the faces of everyone.

"It doesn't matter if the Luo clan surpasses the Eternal Eventide clan or not. It's just that I'll beat up whoever I find unpleasing to my eyes, and as it happens, you belong to one of the types of people that I detest." Luo Huo'er was very casual in her speech, and this undoubtedly infuriated Xi Ye.

At that moment, a sword appeared in Luo Huo'er's hand in a very abrupt manner. Very few members of the several million strong audience to discern how it had appeared in Luo Huo'er's hand, it was like she had been holding the sword from the very beginning.

The sword was slightly longer than five feet and it was very narrow. The blade was pale red, and when it was unsheathed, the sword was bent due to its thinness. From the main blade to its tip, it formed a curve, making it resemble a red ribbon.

A soft sword?

Xi Ye's eyebrows pricked up slightly. She had seen her fair share of soft swords, but this was the first time that she had seen a sword so soft that it curved naturally. How was such a sword used?

Although Xi Ye was arrogant, she did not belittle Luo Huo'er. A large and completely black snake appeared behind Xi Ye. As it slithered towards Xi Ye's shoulders, it slowly coiled its body. The snake's scales were like metal, exuding a cold sheen, and on its head, there was a single horn. It was a snake that was on it way to evolve into a dragon. Legends had it that ancient snakes could produce single horns and four claws after surviving numerous heavenly tribulations, eventually evolving into a dragon.

"Contract Beast?"

People were slightly taken aback.

"It's not a Contract Beast, it's an Aspect Totem. The members of the Eternal Eventide clan are humans. Their cultivation system allows them to refine an Aspect Totem," said a mighty figure in the crowd.

"An Aspect Totem that looks so lifelike? It's like a real wyrm!"

Typically, Aspect Totems looked like phantom images, but Xi Ye's Aspect Totem looked no different to an actual living creature.

At that moment, the black snake merged into Xi Ye's body, and a black beam of energy gathered on one of her palms. It spread out and formed a long black whip.

Black snake! Black whip!

It could not stop people from making the connection that the whip in Xi Ye's hand was a refinement of the black snake.

At that moment, Xi Ye moved. She lashed out with her whip, and a series of cracking sounds of a whip accompanied thousands of whip shadows that began to envelop Luo Huo'er!

"I've reigned supreme in the Eternal Eventide Sea. Whoever fails to keep up with me in terms of speed has no right to fight me!"

With whip and body as one, Xi Ye transformed into a black stream of light. People could only see black beams of light dancing throughout the sky, but there was no sight of Xi Ye herself!

"How can this be dodged?"

"There are no blind spots at all!" The members of the Luo clan exclaimed.

"Ka-cha!"

Under the envelopment of the whip shadows, the ground was diced into countless fragments, exploding in the process!

Despite the terrifying bombardment of the scourge, Luo Huo'er's figure suddenly blasted out like a plume of fire, flashing away.

The endless whip shadows looked like there was not a single blind spot, but in fact, Xi Ye's lashes were done one after another. There was definitely an order, and as black smoke flared under Luo Huo'er's feet, she accurately pinpointed what was needed of her. Using a nearly impossible speed and mastery of her bodily actions, she dodged the whip shadows while darting through them while advancing!

"There are too many phantom images from Her Highness!"

The members of the Luo clan watched Luo Huo'er shuttle through the whip shadows with bated breaths. Countless whip shadows hit Luo Huo'er's body, but strangely, the whips went straight through her body without the slightest bit of resistance, leaving Luo Huo'er unharmed!

"It's too fast. It has exceeded the limits of our visual acuity. Her Highness isn't forcefully blocking the lashing of the whips, she's only dodging!"

Blocking the bombardment of such rapid attacks was much easier than dodging. Although there was an order in which the whip shadows appeared, the gap in between successive lashes was a thousandth of an instant. It was easier said than done to dodge every one of them!

Not only so, people already realized that Luo Huo'er was getting closer to Xi Ye while dodging the whip shadows!

Luo Huo'er had swept through a hundred feet across the void, closing in on Xi Ye!

She was about to catch up!

Luo Huo'er flicked her hand as the red ribbon-like sword slashed out!

Due to the oddness of the soft sword, at the instant of moving, the sword tip lagged behind due to its softness, but with the force of the blade reaching its limits, the sword tip whipped out at an even faster speed, shooting straight at Xi Ye.

"Whew!"

Like a fire python sticking its tongue out, the strike thrust straight at Xi Ye's chest with roaring fire-elemental Yuan Qi at an odd angle.

"Shield of Darkness!"

Xi Ye waved her hand as the power of darkness condensed in front of her. The black vortex formed was Xi Ye's Shield of Darkness.

Luo Huo'er's strike hit the center of the Shield of Darkness.

Ka-cha!

The Shield of Darkness shattered immediately! Luo Huo'er's attack was just too powerful!

Immediately following that, overwhelming fire-elemental energies flared with light.

Dao Domain of fire!

With Luo Huo'er's nomological insight, it was only natural for her to have gained insights into her own Dao Domain, and it was excellent grade.

The moment that the Dao Domain appeared, tongues of fire deluged the surroundings, like a volcano had erupted beneath Luo Huo'er's sword. The desolate plains were engulfed by the flames, as stones turned to lava!

"Back! Move back immediately!" People exclaimed.

The suppressive pressure of the flame coming from Luo Huo'er's strike was just too powerful! Standing beyond the battle arena, it was like they were immersed in a prison of fire. They felt like their vitality was being consumed by the fire.

As people retreated, the flames churning in the battle arena culminated into a climax, as it blasted in one crazy explosion!

Firestorms swept the area, engulfing everything!

"Si!"

Suddenly, a black snake shot towards the sky amid the turbulent flames, as it gave out a painful hiss.

"It's Xi Ye's Aspect Totem!" Someone shouted, but they could hardly keep their eyes open in the fierce firestorm.

This battle was too intense! The battle between two extremely talented women was a clash like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. It far exceeded the battle involving Yi Yun and Ye Yi. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Even though they were watching the battle from afar, it left them out of breath.

"What is the outcome?"

People stared at the battle arena with widened eyes, afraid of missing any scene. However, the firestorm completely blocked everyone’s sight.

True Martial World - Chapter 936: Luo Huo’er’s Turn

That one strike from Yi Yun's brick had condensed the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's nomological rune. With his Yuan Qi infused in it, even a handful of mud would be augmented into something as hard as divine metal! Although the Heaven Upheaval Seal was a weapon that was refined in the lower realm, its inferior quality material did not affect Yi Yun's attack in any way.

With the brick smashing down and hitting him right on the forehead, Ye Yi's protective Yuan Qi had shattered. His body could not even withstand the attack.

The Eternal Eventide clan were humans after all. Like humans, their physical bodies were their weakness. If it wasn’t for Yi Yun holding some of the power back at the final moment, Ye Yi would be more heavily injured.

"It… ended just like that!?"

Not only were the Eternal Eventide Sea's disciples dumbfounded, even the Luo clan disciples, who were supporting Yi Yun, were in the same state of shock.

The scene before in front of them was something that was totally beyond their imagination. They were both the second strongest person from factions of equal strength, but the gap in strength was too great!

A single strike clinched victory?

An insta-defeat?

The entire southern desolate mountain plains was covered with millions of warriors. Most of them were Luo clan residents. After a few moments of silence, they suddenly erupted into cheers that were like a roaring landslide or tsunami.

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun!"

Thundering cheers roared across the wilderness in a deafening manner!

Over the past few days, citizens of the Luo clan had been eating humble pie. In the 12 Empyrean Heavens, strength was everything. With strength, one would obtain honor, status and dignity, regardless if it was an individual or a large faction.

And a few days ago, Chi Zhuiyun had declared to sweep through the Luo clan, and he had even leapfrogged Chu Yunjian in battle, defeating him. Luo Huo'er was the only person in the entire Luo clan that could possibly match Chi Zhuiyun, but that was only a possibility.

Even members of the Luo clan or admirers of Luo Huo'er did not dare to determine who would win in a fight between Luo Huo'er and Chi Zhuiyun.

And the situation had developed in such a way under this backdrop with the Eternal Eventide Sea, World Margin Sect coming here. They came to the Luo clan to bathe in the limelight with their minds set on Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple recruitment. The members of the Eternal Eventide Sea were extremely arrogant, so in the past few days, there were several conflicts between the Luo clan's citizens and the Eternal Eventide Sea disciples in the southern desolate mountain plains. Many of the Eternal Eventide Sea's disciples had declared that the Luo clan would not be able to deal with Chi Zhuiyun, who would be finished by them.

The citizens of the Luo clan naturally felt aggrieved.

But today, Yi Yun's victory against Ye Yi in a battle of ease and verve had finally vindicated the Luo clan!

The cheers for Yi Yun continued on, and they even seemed like they were increasing

"Brothers, shout as loud as you can! Let's see those bastards of the Eternal Eventide clan continue to be arrogant, we'll smack their faces till they turn swollen!"

Amongst the crowd, there was an extraordinarily powerful warrior shouting. This person's cultivation realm had surpassed the Dao Manifestation realm, and he was considered a warrior from the older generation. But faced with such a delightful event, he was as excited as the young ones.

"What madness… " Yi Yun said from the bottom of his heart.

At that moment, he had already left the battle arena.

In front of him, Ye Yi was being carried off the stage by members of the Eternal Eventide clan. His forehead was covered in blood, and the way he looked at Yi Yun was already very weak.

This battle had given a huge setback to Ye Yi. It would have been fine if he had been defeated, but he had been defeated by an ordinary human, and his opponent's weapon was a brick!

Having been defeated, and being smacked down by a brick, Ye Yi already began to question life.

"Of course there's madness!" Luo Huo'er responded, "In a warrior's world, we may have the power to cause great destruction, have long lifespans, and are able to lead extravagant lives, but the pressure is intense. Be it life-and-death trials or breakthroughs that require great risks, or the sense of urgency of being killed by someone else at any moment in time, it forces us to continuously forge ahead."

"The accumulation of all these pressure naturally need an opportunity for it to be released. For example, with Chi Zhuiyun setting the battle area now, everyone comes here to watch the battle for that delightful entertainment. Although they are unable to engage in the battle themselves, victory is no different from them fighting themselves as it sends boiling blood pulsing through their veins. Especially with the Eternal Eventide clan being suppressed, there is a sudden feeling of exaltation, naturally a strong sense jubilance!"

As Luo Huo'er spoke, she gave Yi Yun a thumbs up. Her jade like fingers looked exquisite and beautiful.

"That's right… "

Yi Yun nodded. Ignoring the warrior's world, even in the world of mortals, there were all sorts of sports that attracted people, such as baseball, soccer, etc. An unprecedented soccer tournament would attract large numbers of spectators and fans. These people would push the atmosphere of the competition to its limits. And this was in a situation with many people not even knowing how to play soccer. In contrast, in a martial world, with everyone knowing martial arts, it made it even more different.

"Little Yun, your fight sure is liberating. I long found that Ye Yi unpleasing to the eyes. Let him be arrogant, but finish him with a brick!"

Luo Huo'er was still reveling in her excitement.

And at that moment, in the seats of honor, Prince Crimson Firmament, Bai Yueqing, Tianya Haoyue, goddess Xi Ye and others were also looking at Yi Yun.

Goddess Xi Ye's face was dark and gloomy. She had spoken with such great certainty, but with the outcome of the match, describing it as a face smacking was insufficient.

Despite knowing that goddess Xi Ye was feeling embarrassed, Prince Crimson Firmament did not have any thoughts of kicking her while she was down. He was actually feeling mixed emotions. On one hand, the Luo clan had smacked the Eternal Eventide clan in the face, making him feel delighted, but on the other hand, Yi Yun was in Luo Huo'er's camp. From a certain point of view, he was his enemy.

The stronger his enemy was, the more threatening he was to his throne, so how could he be happy?

"Your Highness, it appears that I've underestimated Yi Yun. His talent far exceeds mine. Eleven years ago, it appears that it was not as simple as Yi Yun relying on a mystic technique to defeat the fifth Ancient Fey at the Luo Divine Hall trials… " Beside Prince Crimson Firmament, Chu Yunjian sighed.

Yi Yun, Luo Huo'er, and Princess White Fox were people who made one feel inferior for existing in the same era. Despite being extraordinarily talented, he was repressed by them, without being able to lift his head up.

By defeating Ye Yi, Yi Yun was undoubtedly one of the strongest of the eight.

Following that, the World Margin Sect, the White Fox clan, and the Oracle Fey Kingdom had to choose two people out of three.

To the Luo clan citizens, such a battle was of lesser importance when compared to Yi Yun’s. In the eyes of the people, in the three substitutes, the other three were only there to make the numbers. Regardless of who fought, nothing mattered.

What they were eager to watch was the matchups amongst the strongest.

However, no one expected that before the three people got on to the stage to fight, Luo Huo'er was first to step onto the stage.

"It was really lively in the previous fight, so let me have a hand at it too!" Luo Huo'er was dressed in a red fighting costume as she casually said.

"Oh?"

Everyone was surprised. Luo Huo'er was going on-stage?

The battle had only just begun, and there was no assignment of opponents, but Luo Huo'er had already gone on stage.

"Goddess Xi Ye, is it?" Luo Huo'er looked far into the distance at the seats of honor, "Do you want to come over and have a fight!?"

Luo Huo'er did not care if there had not been an assignment of opponents. Amongst the eight people, she just needed to call out the person's name to fight anyone she wanted!

True Martial World - Chapter 935: I've been keeping a really low profile recently

"That sister of mine is actually over there!?"

In the southern desolate mountain plains, there were temporary seats of honor. People like Prince Crimson Firmament, Bai Yueqing, goddess Xi Ye, and company were sitting on the seats of honor. Luo Huo'er naturally had the right to sit there, but she had decided to mix in with the crowd.

"Brother Chuyun, it's said you have a good eye on abilities. What do you think that the outcome of Yi Yun's battle against Ye Yi will be?" Prince Crimson Firmament asked.

Sitting beside Prince Crimson Firmament was Chu Yunjian. Although he had been defeated by Chi Zhuiyun, no one belittled him.

Chu Yunjian said, "Your Highness, the talk about my eye is simply rumoring as a result of others complimenting it. I have been wrong many times, but this time, there's little to be speculated. The outcome will be that Yi Yun will win."

Although Chu Yunjian did not know what strength Ye Yi had, Yi Yun's strength was obvious. The second strongest person in the Eternal Eventide Sea wanted to beat a freak like Yi Yun? That was extremely unlikely!

"Oh? Little to be speculated?" A woman's voice could be heard. Sitting next to Prince Crimson Firmament was an exquisite woman with black hair and purple pupils. Her forehead and neck were covered with metallic accessories. Sitting there, she appeared like she was the source of darkness, making her appear distant and mysterious.

She was the goddess of the Eternal Eventide clan — Xi Ye.

The second strongest person of the Luo clan and the second strongest person of the Eternal Eventide clan were at similar levels, yet it was said that there was little to be speculated? What arrogance!

Goddess Xi Ye said coldly, "Your Luo and White Fox clans fell into turmoil because of a single Chi Zhuiyun. What sort of face do you have to say such things? If you could have defeated Chi Zhuiyun, what need would there be for us to be here?"

The Eternal Eventide clan was able to rival the Luo clan in power with several million people, and Xi Ye was the goddess of the Eternal Eventide clan, so she was obviously pissed when Chu Yunjian said things that belittled the Eternal Eventide Sea.

"You must be Chu Yunjian. As a Dao Manifestation realm warrior, you were defeated by Chi Zhuiyun, a half-step Dao Manifestation realm warrior. How emboldened are you to make comments here." Goddess Xi Ye said bluntly.

Chu Yunjian fell silent. Being defeated by Chi Zhuiyun, a person at a lower realm than him, was indeed a stain on his life, one that he could not refute.

…

At that moment on the battle arena, Yi Yun and Ye Yi were a thousand feet from each other. There were cheers from the Luo clan warriors all around the stage.

"Yi Yun, get rid of that Eternal Eventide Sea punk!"

"Yi Yun is sure to win!"

The audience was made up warriors, so their shouts were deafening. Ye Yi frowned when he heard them. Without the fight even beginning, he had been disparaged by the crowd, which pissed him off. "I never expected that a bunch of Fey would cheer for a human like you. However, cheering is useless. The outcome of the battle depends on strength."

"A human? Aren't you human?"

With his sword in hand, Yi Yun coldly looked at Ye Yi. In the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, humans were scarce, to begin with. They stood alone and powerless, so they needed to be united as one, forging ahead together. However, despite being human, just because they had a different color to their eyes, the Eternal Eventide Sea had taken the initiative to draw a line with other humans, like being labeled human was an insult to them.

"Do not compare us with the lot of you. We are the Chosen race of the Divinity, while you are the abandoned race. Lowly humans have a less than a one in ten billion chance of producing a genius, millions of times inferior to us. You are the cream of the crop, lucky to have won your current position. However, there are even more humans that are lowly beings. With life spans ranging less than a hundred years, they are no different to ants."

As Ye Yi spoke, he pulled two black sabers out. The two sabers resembled a pair of wings.

As for Yi Yun, he began to slowly put his sword away. "Inferior? Lowly? Ants?" Yi Yun shook his head. "You and humans come from the same roots, but that is how you view humans."

When Ye Yi heard Yi Yun's ridicule, he did not respond. Instead, he coldly said, "By putting your sword away, are you planning on throwing in the towel?"

"Throwing in the towel? No, I'm only planning on switching my weapon. I think that using a sword to deal with you is being too kind."

As Yi Yun spoke, he took a rectangular block of metal out of his interspatial ring. It was a rectangular seal, named the Heaven Upheaval Seal. Back in the Tai Ah Divine City, Yi Yun had participated in the rookie ranking tournament and he had used the Heaven Upheaval Seal as a weapon. Back then, Yi Yun was unable to adeptly control his strength. He was afraid of killing his opponent with his saber, but with the passage of time, Yi Yun's proficiency with energy control became more and more adept, so there was no need for the Heaven Upheaval Seal to be used.

"That is?"

Ye Yi frowned. He could sense that the rectangular piece of metal taken out by Yi Yun was a seal that had been previously refined. However, the material that the seal was made out of was extremely terrible. Furthermore, the runes that were engraved on its surface were extremely poor in quality!

"This is called a brick. It should be enough to deal with you. I think I've been keeping a really low profile recently, resulting in me being considered as a substitute. It wasn't easy for me to get on the stage, and now, random cats and dogs are wailing in front of me." Yi Yun said lazily.

He was already bent on becoming Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, gaining the attention of Felicitous Rain Lord. Therefore, it was understandable that he could no longer keep a low profile.

"What did you say!?" A cold beam flashed in Ye Yi's eyes.

"You are courting death!” Ye Yi was incensed.

How dare a human disparage him in that way? The human did not even know how the word death was written!

"Weng!"

Ye Yi’s sabers roared as they sliced through the wind. The sabers emitted thousands of saber beams that inundated the surroundings!

Saber domain!

Saber domain was also another name for the Dao Domain of sabers. Saber Dao was also one of the Dao. It was inferior to Yin-Yang and space-time, but it was not weaker than the five elements. And it was ranked alongside sword Dao!

Ye Yi had also gained insights into a Dao Domain of his own!

Upon seeing this scene, the hearts of the Luo clan audience tightened. Indeed, to become the second strongest person of the Eternal Eventide Sea, he had something outstanding about him. It was very rare for a person who had gained insights into a Dao Domain before he reached the Dao Manifestation realm.

"I never expected a Dao Domain. It's best if Yi Yun doesn't underestimate his opponent. As long as he uses his true strength, he will still win." The Luo clan audience were very confident when it came to Yi Yun.

However, Yi Yun did not seem to have any plans on switching weapons.

Phew—

Yi Yun was enveloped by Ye Yi's saber domain.

With Heaven Upheaval Seal in his hand, Yi Yun remained motionless, allowing the saber domain to envelop him.

"Cha! Cha! Cha!"

Saber beams began darting around Yi Yun, slashing at his protective Yuan Qi.

"Is this your Dao Domain?" Yi Yun said nonchalantly.

He did not think much about it. Dao Domains had different levels. Ye Yi’s Dao Domain was weaker than Princess White Fox's Dao Domain from eleven years ago, let alone comparable to Chi Zhuiyun.

And eleven years ago, Yi Yun had been enveloped by the Nine-tailed White Fox's Nine-tailed Dao Domain in the Fey Refining Rock array, and he was able to forcibly crack it, let alone now.

"It's sufficient to kill you!"

Ye Yi used his sabers to attack in unison with the saber beams. All of the saber beams in the saber domain began to merge as one, slashing right at Yi Yun.

However, before the saber beam landed on him, a golden rune lit up in the middle of the Heaven Upheaval Seal that was in Yi Yun's hand. It was not one of the runes that were originally engraved in the Heaven Upheaval Seal, it was one of the runes that belonged to the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Eleven years ago, Yi Yun was already able to spread the runes of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence onto a hundred flying sabers. So now, it was even easier to inject one into the Heaven Upheaval Seal.

"Boom!"

The rune lit up with a divine light as the Heaven Upheaval Seal came smashing down towards Ye Yi!

This strike was not aimed at Ye Yi, it was aimed at his saber.

A brick against a saber!

On one side, it was a saber strike that had condensed an entire Dao Domain. It contained all of Ye Yi's insights in the saber Dao, and on the other side, it was a metal brick of dubious quality. But the collision was like a meteorite hitting the ground!

Crackle!

A brick tore through the void! People could clearly see a huge rift open in the void. Energy surged wantonly in the rift!

The void of the 12 Empyrean Heavens was extremely firm. There was no way for Heaven Ascension realm warriors to tear the void, and Yi Yun was no exception.

As such, what broke was not the void, but… Ye Yi's saber domain!

A saber domain that had just been conjured was forcefully shattered by a single smash of Yi Yun's brick!

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Large swaths of the Dao Domain had shattered successively, with countless saber beams shattering as well. However, the Heaven Upheaval Seal did not lose its momentum, it continued to remain indomitable!

"Dang!"

Ye Yi's final saber beam was sent flying by Yi Yun's smash. The heavy Heaven Upheaval Seal, with immense Yuan Qi wrapped around it, appeared above Ye Yi's forehead.

"Peng!"

Blood splattered everywhere as the nicely dressed Ye Yi, who had cut facial features, was left trembling by Yi Yun's brick. His vision turned black as his mind went blank, like everything in the world around him, had been forcibly stripped apart by Yi Yun.

"What… is going on… ?"

Ye Yi's legs turned weak. He tried his best to stabilize his body, but he eventually collapsed slowly…

True Martial World - Chapter 934: You are Yi Yun?

Instantly, there was a commotion. Yu Tianfeng was infuriated by this. Previously in the Luo clan royal palace, Emperor Luo had been extremely polite with him, but here, a bunch of juniors were showing him little respect.

Compared to the lofty Emperor Luo, these juniors were nothing!

Although Yu Tianfeng was angry, he could not do anything about it. Emperor Luo did not dare offend the Oracle Fey Kingdom because Felicitous Rain Lord owed a favor to the Oracle Fey Kingdom. It was destined to be critical in the alliance against the Fey Phantasm Sect, but these juniors could ignore any of that.

At that moment, Chi Zhuiyun walked forward. In fact, Yu Tianfeng, who had been conferred a nobility title in the Oracle Fey Kingdom but had relatively low talent, did not have as much weight when speaking compared to Chi Zhuiyun.

Chi Zhuiyun said, "Regardless if it's me challenging you, or all of you challenging me, it's the same thing. I don't care at all! Today, I have set the stage for combat, only to fight the strongest person from each faction so we don’t waste time. I don't care who you wish to battle, but I'll only fight four people today — Tianya Haoyue! Princess White Fox! Princess Purple Spirit! Goddess Xi Ye!"

Chi Zhuiyun directly named four people, and they happened to be from each of the four major factions. They were nearly the strongest.

"You alone want to battle us four?" Tianya Haoyue scoffed. "Chi Zhuiyun, I know that you are very strong, but if you want to fight one against four, aren't you being too overbearing!?"

Tianya Haoyue was a proud person. He did not think of himself as being worse than Chi Zhuiyun. To deal with Chi Zhuiyun in a tag-team with the other three geniuses was something that Tianya Haoyue was unwilling to do. After all, even if he beat Chi Zhuiyun, it was nothing worth being proud about, let alone talk about gaining the recognition of Felicitous Rain Lord.

Chi Zhuiyun gave Tianya Haoyue a glance and said, "It is up to you to do battle or not. I am open to fighting anyone of the four of you!"

"Chi Zhuiyun, do not think that you are the center of the alliance's younger generation, with everyone revolving around you. I'm the one who wants everyone to challenge me!" Tianya Haoyue said coldly, "My take on this is we should choose a few more people, making up eight or even sixteen people. We can each do battle. Winning allows the next battle to happen, and the loser has to forfeit their place!"

The rule that Tianya Haoyue proposed had received a great number of people's approbation.

In such a battle, no one was the center of attention. It was a completely fair tournament, and it would not accentuate Chi Zhuiyun.

Chi Zhuiyun sighed slightly and said, "If you want to, make it eight then. Having too many people is just a waste of time."

If there were only five people, it was difficult to decide on the order of battle. By finding three 'substitutes', it would make it easier to assign the fights with eight people.

However, Chi Zhuiyun kept arrogantly insisting that it was a waste of time, inciting the wrath of others.

"Senior Brother Haoyue, let us join the foray! I want to see how impressive Chi Zhuiyun is for him to be this overbearing!" In the World Margin Sect, a disciple spoke.

His name was Tian Yaping, he was definitely one of the leading figures in the World Margin Sect.

Although being a substitute did not sound pleasant to the ears, they were able to do battle after all. Many people wanted to do so. But in that case, there was a new problem. There were five factions present, but only three substitute spots. If each faction chose a person, there would be two additional people.

At that moment, Chi Zhuiyun spoke again, "Choose one person from each faction. Among the five, fight it out to decide on the three places!"

After saying that, Chi Zhuiyun did not speak another word. The crowd also nodded in agreement.

Luo Huo'er smiled as she looked at Yi Yun. "Little Yun, it sure sucks for you to end up being a substitute!"

Being ridiculed by Luo Huo'er, Yi Yun helplessly stroked his chin. He could only accept being a substitute. He could only blame himself for not participating in the Luo Divine Hall trials to the very end. It resulted in him not even appearing on the Luo Divine Hall's final ranking.

In order for the other factions to understand the Luo clan and the White Fox clan's geniuses, they would first look at the rankings, so it was common for them to be unaware of Yi Yun's name.

Yi Yun was representing the Luo clan, and him taking the second spot was no surprise. Even Prince Crimson Firmament would not disagree to it.

With that, the name list was decided.

The second person each of the five factions chosen respectively were — Luo clan's Yi Yun, World Margin Sect's Tianya Ping, Oracle Fey Kingdom's Demon Girl, White Fox clan's Nongying and Eternal Eventide Sea's Ye Yi!

The five people were competing for three spots.

"Oh? So you are Yi Yun, and you must be… Princess Purple Spirit!?"

At the tea stall, Ye Yi and the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples that had their tongues burnt finally learned about Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er's identity. They never expected that they had entered a conflict with Luo Huo'er, the person ranked first in the Luo clan!

It was no wonder that her attainment in fire-elemental laws had reached such an impressive level. A simple fire-elemental conjuration had been mysteriously drunk by them, resulting in their tongues being burnt.

"Interesting!"

Ye Yi looked at Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er. Luo Huo'er was in the first echelon. Before becoming one of the three people qualified to do battle, he had not right to challenge Luo Huo'er. As for Yi Yun… he was completely confident fighting against him!

Ye Yi was famous in the Eternal Eventide Sea. In fact, Ye Yi was eager to spar even with a person like Luo Huo'er!

So what if she was the number one genius in the Luo clan? The place of his birth only numbered several million people, yet the Eternal Eventide Sea was able to rank alongside various large factions. The level of the geniuses that his clansmen were at was nothing that the other factions could compare with.

Even if he failed to defeat Luo Huo'er in the end, Ye Yi believed that he would not be too inferior when compared to Luo Huo'er.

"Since you are Yi Yun, that's perfect. Leave the first battle to us! I wish that you will not disappoint me too greatly!" As Ye Yi spoke, he leaped and flew towards the battle arena stage. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Senior Brother Ye Yi, teach that punk an unforgettable lesson!"

"Screw him badly! Beat him up until his parents can't even recognize him!" Behind Ye Yi, the two Eternal Eventide disciples that got tormented by Luo Huo'er said with red faces.

However, as a result of their burnt tongues, what they said sounded muffled, and somewhat amusing.

They hated Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er to death. They could not offend Luo Huo'er, but Ye Yi could avenge them.

Seeing that Ye Yi was already on the arena stage. Yi Yun followed him in a very slow manner.

In this battle of geniuses, Yi Yun believed himself to be an expert as well, but he had been delegated as a substitute. Furthermore, typical experts would usually appear as a finalist, appearing only at the last few matches, but now, he was the first one to do battle. He was at quite a loss.

The moment that Yi Yun landed on the arena stage, the stage’s surroundings erupted into a flood of cheers.

"Yi Yun! Yi Yun!"

This was the Luo clan's home ground after all. Most people in the southern desolate mountain plains came from the Luo clan.

In the Luo clan, Yi Yun had a high popularity, just second to Luo Huo'er’s. The recognition that the Luo clan disciples had for Yi Yun had not much to do with how Yi Yun did not complete the Luo Divine Hall trials.

"The cheers that you receive are rather loud! It appears that you are quite popular in the Luo clan." Ye Yi nonchalantly said, as though he disparaged the Luo clan's cheers. This was the confidence that he had in the Eternal Eventide clan.
