As they watched the terrifying Cloudy Sun Chains unexpectedly break just like that in Yun Cheās hands, everyoneās face had an expression of shock . Yan Mingās eyes opened even wider, as he simply didnāt dare to believe his own eyes .
āHowā¦ How is that possible? That was one of Cloudy Sun Sectās ultimate moves! The chain of fire that was consolidated using profound energy has a temperature that even surpasses real flames; and it also possesses a strong devouring nature . How did it break just from one touch of Yun Cheās hands!ā An elder of the New Moon Profound Palace said in bewilderment .
The elders on Cloudy Sun Sectās side were even more so blown away, that they turned pale and lost their composure . Head Elder Yan Zizai abruptly stood up, and almost believed that something went wrong with his own eyes . The disciple by his side quickly stated: āElder, there is no need to panic . After all, Junior Brother Yan Ming is only at the third level of Nascent Profound Realm; itās still a little bit far-fetched for him to control the Cloudy Sun Chain . Therefore, the chain may have snapped because of insufficient profound strength . ā
āHmph! Purposefully showing off while not even having sufficient profound energy; itās as if heās asking to be scoffed at!ā Yan Zizai coldly snorted . The situation before his eyes could only be explained in this way . It was impossible for him to believe that Yun Che, who was only at the first level of Nascent Profound Realm, could sever the Cloudy Sun Chains with his bare hands, and furthermore, have his entire hand remain unscathed .
Yun Che clapped his hands, and spoke while laughing heartily: āBrother Yan Ming is really impressive at circus acts . With your skills from earlier, tsk tsk, itās really a waste to not go perform on the streets . ā
āThisā¦ . This is impossible!ā Yan Mingās heart was filled dismay . Others couldnāt tell, but he clearly understood that his Cloudy Sun Chain from before was released and executed with great success; it should have been completely enough to burn Yun Cheās palm into a crisp, as soon as it got in contact with his hands . There shouldnāt be any reason for it to break so abruptly .
Yun Cheās mockery drove Yan Ming into a fit of rage; he spoke with a menacing expression: āDonāt get full of yourself! Just now, I was simply just casually probing your strength; Iāll let you experience the real Cloudy Sun Chain from my Cloudy Sun Sect right this instant!ā
Although firm words came out of his mouth, the previous āfailureā made him lose his confidence . He no longer dared to simultaneously channel two Cloudy Sun Chains in both hands; but rather, growled lowly as a thick and strong chain of fire abruptly swung out from his right palm towards Yun Che, like a dancing fire snake .
This time, Yun Che didnāt even move . The Cloudy Sun Chain quickly approached, and then wrapped around his body in a flashā¦ . Yan Ming immediately felt a wave of joy in his heart . Just as he was about to detonate the fire profound energy, he suddenly saw the wrapped Cloudy Sun Chain break apart into several segments like a rotten hemp rope, under Yun Cheās incredibly nonchalant tug . Afterwards, it completely extinguished .
Yun Che had already become angry . He patted his clothes that were touched by the Cloudy Sun Chain, and furiously spoke: āWe came here to exchange pointers, but youāre actually showing me circus tricks! This is simply a waste of everyoneās time! I should just kick you off this stage sooner!ā
With a low shout, Yun Che instantly appeared at Yan Mingās right with a Star Godās Broken Shadow, and struck straight for his face with a fist concentrated in profound energy . Yan Ming whose Cloudy Sun Chain broke once again, was helplessly overwhelmed with shock and dismay . Due to his mind that was in state of panic, his reaction speed slowed down by half a beat; he didnāt have enough time to counter or block, and could only hastily retreat backwards . However, he was still struck solidly on the center of his chest by Yun Cheās fist .
Yan Mingās protective profound energy wavered; although Yun Cheās profound strength was two ranks below him, getting hit by a heavy frontal strike all of a sudden was definitely unpleasant . Rage and embarrassment mingled in his heart, and with a shout of āScorching Fire Fistā, both his fists became concentrated in fire as he punched towards Yun Che .
Yun Che slightly tilted his body and dodged Yan Mingās fists that burned with fire . He then suddenly raised his right hand, and pressed onto Yan Mingās right arm that had swung out . The corner of his mouth drew back, and faintly formed a cold smileā¦
āAHHHH!!!!!ā
A dying pigās scream of agony resounded through the Main Palace . The Yan Ming who had just swung out the Scorching Fire Fists kneeled on the ground amidst his blood-curdling screech . As his left and right arms frantically lashed about, the flames on both of his hands had already vanished . However, there were actually wisps of rising black smoke above his five fingers, and a pungent burnt smell gradually spread inside the palace .
Yan Zizai was greatly startled; in a flash, he dashed in front of Yan Ming . As if they were lightning, both his hands pinched Yan Mingās pair of hands, and quickly guided out the flame energy that permeated inside his hands .
Yan Mingās expression of agony had finally somewhat lessened, but both of his hands were already less than half burnt . His five fingers exaggeratedly spread out, and were twisted to such an extent that it would scare a person . Lines of black smoke still slowly permeated out of the burnt flesh on his hands .
āTo actually let the flame energy rebound back to yourself! Did your cultivation during these few years all turn to dog shit!!ā Yan Zizai looked at Yan Ming, and furiously bellowed with a livid face, with not a care for where they were at this current occasion . As a disciple with a talent that ranked in the top five of the Cloudy Sun Sectās younger generation, not only did his Cloudy Sun Chains break twice, he actually exhibited such a low level and laughable mistake in front of everyone; he had virtually lost, all of Cloudy Sun Sectās prestige .
Fire attribute Profound Arts could enable profound practitioners to consolidate fire using profound energy, but by no means did it mean that they, themselves, were invulnerable to fire . For instance, when Yan Ming condensed fire onto his hands earlier, there was also a layer of protective profound energy in between his hand and the flame .
The embarrassing state that Yan Ming showed after using the Scorching Flame Fist, clearly seemed as if he wasnāt able to adequately control the flame energy . The flame energy consolidated by profound energy was not entirely released outside; a part of it formed into the flames on his hands, and another portion directly exploded inside his palms, and scorched himself! But this kind of mistake, would usually only happen within the first half year of practicing this fire attribute profound art . Also, the power of this fire was weak during this period of time, so even if there was a mistake, it wouldnāt do too much harm . After some time, controlling fire using profound energy would become as easy as controlling oneās own hands and feet; this kind of joke-like mistake should, fundamentally, not occur .
Of course, it was impossible for Yan Zizai to expect that during the split second Yun Che touched Yan Mingās arm, he had guided the fire from his hands into the interior of his palm . Even if Yun Che openly declared the truth right now, Yi Zizai still wouldnāt have believed him .
āElder, Iā¦ . ā
āShut the hell up . Havenāt you lost enough face! Why havenāt you already gone off for treatment!ā Yan Zizai said with an angry tone of voice .
Yan Ming obediently shut his mouth, drooped both his burnt hands, and walked back with his head down . He glanced at Yun Che and violently clenched his teethā¦ . He instinctively felt that the shattering of Cloudy Sun Chain and the rebounding of his profound fire had something to do with Yun Che; since it was impossible for him to make this kind of mistake otherwise . But even if he assumed that it had something to do with Yun Che, he simply couldnāt find any justification for his reasoning . Yun Che was only at the first level of Nascent Profound Realm, how was it possible for him to have broken his Cloudy Sun Chain with only bare hands; and it was even more impossible for him to cause the rebound of the profound fire .
āHeh . This brat, his luck isnāt too bad . He actually met such an idiot; I had thought heād already be paying the price for his arrogance from before . ā A middle aged man in Xiao sect snorted .
āHe wouldnāt be able to pass the next person . ā Xiao Luocheng dispassionately smiled .
New Moon Profound Palaceās elders and disciples had also let out a long breath of relief . They had thought that Yun Che would definitely suffer a miserable defeat, and may even be covered in burn injuries; they didnāt expect that the opponent would make such a low level mistake when using his sectās profound art, which instead, made it Yun Cheās victory . Like this, Yun Che with his profound strength at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm, had now consecutively defeated one at the second level of the Nascent Profound Realm, and another at the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm!!
This was definitely an impressive achievement that New Moon Profound Palace could be proud of .
Yun Che crossed his arms in front of his chest . His face, that seeped with a hint of immature aura, currently had pride written all over it: āThatās already two, who will be the third!ā
This arrogant tone, instigated a wave of sneers from disciples of the seven sects . This moron who has no idea about the differences between heaven and earth, and thinks too highly of his own abilities; couldnāt he see that the previous victory was only due to Yan Mingās low level mistake that injured himself?
Just as Yun Cheās figure landed, directly to his front, the disciple that appeared to be the youngest stood up from the Stormy Profound Palaceās seats .
āFeng Guangyi! From Stormy Profound Palace, sixteen years old!ā This youthās build was not that tall, and his features were nothing special to look at either . He was also only sixteen, and of course, he also possessed the lofty aura that naturally came from being sought after by countless people while being only sixteen . He looked at Yun Che with an extremely disdainful gaze, and said in an indifferent manner: āI originally didnāt want to bother with you because youāre not even worthy to be my opponent; itās just that I simply couldnāt stand your arrogance anymore . You only won by luck against a second rate Xuan Yu, and even more luckily won against a joke of the Cloudy Sun Sect . Do you seriously think that youāre someone important now? Unfortunately, in my eyes, youāre also just a joke!ā
āNicely said! Kick him off!ā
āDid he really think that our seven sects donāt have anyone else!ā
āMn, although this Feng Guangyi had just become sixteen, he has already reached the third level of Nascent Profound Realm a few months ago . Rumors say that heās about to break through to the fourth level of Nascent Profound Realm; his innate talent definitely surpasses Yan Ming . It has also been said that his sense of perception is extremely high, and he has already cultivated his sectās Profound Art āStorm Piercing Artsā to its third stage, which even shocked the Grand Elders who had underwent closed-door training for many yearsā¦ . I would guess that this arrogant Yun Che wouldnāt even be able to cross ten moves with him . ā
āTen moves? Tch, youāre thinking too highly of him . Five moves maximum, and heāll be kicked off!ā
Feng Guangyiās sarcastic speech was very irritating to the ear; yet Yun Che didnāt get angry in the slightest, and replied to him with an even more sarcastic gaze and tone: āWho will be the real joke in the end, youāll find out very soon . ā
āHmph!ā Feng Guangyi sneered: āIf I canāt make you roll off the stage in ten moves, my name wouldnāt be Feng Guangyi anymore!ā
As he spoke, Feng Guangyi completely opened his half narrowed eyes all of a sudden . The clothing on his entire body started to flutter and made sounds as if they were being blown by a fierce windā¦ . And around his body, there indeed swirled, a powerful whirlwind .
Feng Guangyi raised up his gaze, and disdainfully spoke: āBratty little Yun Che, remember this well; the profound skill that will make you roll off the stage, is my Stormy Profound Sectās āStorm of Nine Formsā!!ā
As his voice fell, Feng Guangyiās body ferociously charged toward Yun Che like a howling gale . During his extremely fast movements, his body was also continuously shifting directions; sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right . As the speed of his movements further increased, a large mass of an unidentifiable shadow appeared before Yun Cheās eyes, along with many circles of terrifying whirlwinds .
āFirst Formā¦ Fierce Wind Form!ā
With a loud shout, four strands of vicious profound energy simultaneously flew toward Yun Che like were four gusts of fierce wind . As Yun Che knitted his brow, his silhouette quickly flashed, and dodged three of the four . However, he was unable to avoid the fourth; his profound energy quickly welled up and constructed protective profound energy in front of his body with full force .
Bang!!
As Yun Che took three consecutive steps backwards, his blood churned inside the center of his chest . Directly defending against profound energy of the third level of Nascent Profound Realm with the protective profound energy of the first level of Nascent Profound Realm, was as expected, a bit too far-fetched . Once was still doable; but if he was struck again, he would definitely be harmed .
āSecond Formā¦ . Wind Shadow Form!ā
The whirlwind blew even more viciously, and fully filled Yun Cheās ears with the howling of the wind . Feng Guangyiās speed had also increased to his limit; Yun Cheās surroundings were entirely filled with Feng Guangyiās shadows . At this moment, a silhouette rushed toward his back like a violent stormā¦ . And as for Yun Che, he also turned around at nearly the same instant .
The speed of Yun Cheās reaction, was completely out of Feng Guangyiās expectations . However, he was only slightly shocked for a little bit, since he believed that even if Yun Che managed to react, it was impossible for him to dodge an attack with his maximum speed . His heavy blow violently smashed toward Yun Cheās neck .
However, during the instant that Yun Che turned around, his right fist also fiercely exploded out to meet Feng Guantyiās fist in a straight trajectory .
āWhat! Has he gone insane! To actually go against Fen Guangyi head on!ā
āIf he had tried to protect himself with all of his profound energy, maybe he wouldnāt get too severe of an injury . But Feng Guangyi is at the later third level of the Nascent Profound Realm! Heās only at the first level of Nascent Profound Realm, yet he actually dares to go at him head on? He truly doesnāt know the differences between heaven and earth!ā
As the people from the palace saw this scene, they all knew that Yun Che was finished . If their fists collide, getting his wrist dislocated would be considered as getting off light; for it may even be directly shattered . Not only did Feng Guangyiās fist possess a strength thatās two ranks above Yun Cheās; it also carried the Stormy Profound Palaceās powerful Profound Art!
But, how could Yun Che possibly be this arrogant in his actions and speech without anything to back it up!
In the instant before both Feng Guangyiās fist and his fist collided, a radiance suddenly flashed across his eyes . Inside his Profound Veins, amongst the Big Dipper shaped gates that had always been closed, the first one quietly openedā¦ .
