Chapter 230: The Five-Year-Old Prodigy
"Xiang Ying, I’ve heard you swept through the clan’s talents. Is it true that your potential is the highest in the history of the Xiang Family?"
Wu Shiquan strode over, his face full of smiles.
"What do you think?"
Yun Ye looked up at him.
In his eyes, there was not a trace of emotion.
Many sensitively aware spiritual realm cultivators began to feel inexplicably uneasy.
This Xiang Ying seems a bit sinister?
But only a few sensed it, and since the battle had already begun, they had little energy to delve deeper.
Wu Shiquan spoke:
"My name is Wu Shiquan, and I simply want to test the rumored strength of the Qilin child. I believe all of you are curious as well."
"To participate in the spiritual realm battle at just five years old, what kind of extraordinary talent is this? Can I catch up?"
"If I lose, the heir’s reputation will spread across the Great Wilderness, becoming a true young genius."
Many in the surrounding spiritual realm laughed.
While Wu Shiquan wasn’t as famous as Ao Xiu and the other near-geniuses, this was the Wu Family’s home ground.
Who wouldn’t recognize Wu Shiquan, the current top talent of the Wu Family?
His talent was incredibly high; he entered the spiritual realm early and, at just thirty years old, had already reached Major Achievement spiritual realm.
Cultivating in the spiritual realm is far more challenging than in the Mortal Realm. Baishi Town relied on High-level Spiritual Herbs to accelerate cultivation, while Wenyun Town depended on spirit pills and spirit energy density. Pure speed is actually inferior to Baishi Town.
Wu Shiquan reaching Major Achievement spiritual realm at thirty is already quite talented, able to crush many seasoned spiritual realm cultivators.
Those who struggle to break into the spiritual realm may spend their entire lives at the foundation level.
If Xiang Ying, at just five years old, can overcome the Major Achievement spiritual realm, calling him a young genius would be completely justified.
As Wu Shiquan spoke, his aura continued to rise; he contemplated how to crush his opponent for maximum effect.
"You? Just a trivial character. Defeating you won’t make me a true genius."
"This is a battle of life and death, regardless of the rules. If you want to strike, then come; no one will stop you."
Yun Ye saw through Wu Shiquan’s intentions and casually replied.
"A trivial character? Interesting…"
As soon as Wu Shiquan finished speaking, his fist loomed larger before Yun Ye, the overwhelming killing intent crashing toward him.
His purpose was simple: to shatter Xiang Ying’s resolve and make him sink forever.
Performing a crushing and humiliating act at such a grand ceremony was clearly the most effective way, as boasting was meaningless.
He wouldn’t even think of rationalizing his actions with the excuse of "blame it on being a disciple of the Qushuang Family."
In faction disputes, if there’s a chance to strike, one would take it without hesitation; this was their own vested interest, and no one could stop it.
And then…
Crimson flowed through the air.
The headless corpse staggered and fell.
Yun Ye casually retracted his hand, a small group of crystal flames enveloping his palm. With just that little flame, he evaporated the splattered blood with intense heat, not a single drop clinging to him.
"——"
In the entire Spiritual Law platform, there was a moment of silence.
Everyone stopped their actions, turning to look at Yun Ye, disbelief and horror in their eyes.
A five-year-old child killed a Major Achievement spiritual realm cultivator in one hit!
What kind of surreal reality is this?
When they were five, they were still struggling against wooden stakes!
"Did he underestimate his opponent?"
Someone said.
"Absolutely!"
Came the response.
They couldn’t believe such a thing.
"Step…"
Yun Ye casually walked over the corpse, but the sound of his footsteps resonated throughout the arena. The majority of spiritual realm cultivators involuntarily stepped aside, not believing, but fearing this mere five-year-old child.
The young boy in blue silk clothes remained oblivious, resolutely walking toward the center, ready to emerge and dispel the shadow of ages.
Whoever obstructs him shall bear the consequences!
"Team up!"
Chen Yuan blocked the path ahead.
Three others stepped out with him, all were talented heirs from Wenyun Town.
They hadn’t expected Wu Shiquan to lose so quickly, so they had no choice but to join forces.
"Daring to kill Wu Shiquan was your gravest mistake."
A pagoda materialized above Chen Yuan’s head, slowly revolving as a powerful magic energy enveloped the four present.
Some recognized this artifact as a trump card of the Chen Family, a type of forbidden device.
It exceeded the classification system of Spiritual Artifacts, with its power solely determined by the cultivator’s cultivation level.
This forbidden device contained magical energy, clearly infused by the law realms, sealing away part of their strength. Although it would crumble once used up, it stood as an insurmountable barrier against spiritual realm cultivators until then.
With this protection, Chen Yuan and the others could focus on attacking, and it likely wouldn’t take long before they subdued Xiang Ying.
"Kill!"
The four sprang into action.
Before Yun Ye initiated the attack, they couldn’t surround him since the targeting would be too obvious. If they killed Yun Ye, their families would suffer and be sacrificed as a consequence.
However, with Yun Ye making the first move, they had their justification: they acted to avenge a friend, which was perfectly reasonable.
"Spiritual Roots revival!"
"Elevation of Spiritual Roots!"
Chen Yuan reached his peak state, his momentum surging like a rainbow. He threw a powerful punch, unleashing a fierce explosion of flames.
The Chen family had done extensive research on Fire Spiritual Law, far surpassing the Zhu family of Baishi Town. The flames appeared bright white, a type of acquired spirit fire, several times stronger than the Five Elements spirit fires. With the support of the Heavenly Path, it began to boil large areas upon manifesting.
The other children of noble families were equally powerful, mostly at the Major Achievement spiritual realm, elite among the elite in their families.
They unleashed their killing moves to eradicate Yun Ye, making it seem as though he was teetering on the edge of life and death.
However, thoughts may soar, while reality often bites.
In a brief moment,
Chen Yuan’s body leaned backward, his head raised toward the sky.
A large hole appeared in his chest, and the pure magical barrier surrounding him provided no defense. As Yun Ye extracted his heart, it quickly collapsed from the point of impact.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The heart still pulsated in Yun Ye’s hand, and Chen Yuan showed a pleading expression; he didn’t want to die.
In the next second,
The heart was crushed, turning to ash in the flames.
Chen Yuan’s breath instantly plummeted, unable to sustain himself, and he collapsed, quickly becoming a lifeless body.
In the concept of the spiritual realm, both the heart and brain represent fatal injuries.
The brain is the control center, and its destruction is certain death.
The heart often serves as the starting point for energy circulation.
Once destroyed, resistance weakens instantly to the Mortal Realm.
Even attacks that cannot be resisted in the spiritual realm can be fatal when reduced to the Mortal Realm, as mere residual effects can lead to demise.
Yun Ye’s gaze shifted to the other three.
These three were still on their way, charging toward Yun Ye, only to witness such a terrifying scene.
"Impossible!"
"How could someone in the initial stages of the spiritual realm break through a forbidden device…"
The other three shouted in unison, quickly turning to flee.
But Yun Ye displayed godlike speed, and in a moment of confusion, all three flew horizontally, turning to ash before vanishing.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he walked toward the center, approaching the red silk ball.
"……"
The crowd was stunned, no one dared to stop him anymore.
Even Ao Xiu and the others showed expressions of extraordinary amazement.
"This power has already stepped into our territory; there’s no doubt about it, a five-year-old…"
"A genius?"
