Chapter 231: The Enemy of the Qushuang Family
*“Crack!”*
Among the heads of the four law realm families, one shattered the armrest of his chair, a surge of veins appearing.
"Gentlemen, it’s just a bit of playful fighting; it’s quite normal for lives to be lost. However, you should have held back and not sent your strongest talents to surround and attack. I thank you for my son’s sake," Xiang Baizheng sneered.
The other family heads cast cold looks at Xiang Baizheng. If not for the reputation of the Qushuang family, this jumping clown would already have lost his head.
"Youthful genius…"
The head of the Chen family did not pay much attention to a small family head; he was more focused on Yun Ye’s presence.
To be called a youthful genius usually means being close to the Qilin Rankings between the ages of ten and sixteen.
To be honest, this is already extremely rare, even within the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Normally speaking, could a genius from a small family reach the standard of genius at the age of five?
Let alone five years old; even at fifty, it would likely be swept aside by a youthful genius.
What treasure has the Xiang Family obtained?
Or could it be because of the ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit?
A top-tier spiritual herb alone cannot support a youthful genius; at least ten complementary herbs would be necessary.
Ao Xiu and the others were merely close to the level of genius, and their ages had long exceeded sixteen; the difficulty was indeed immense.
On the Spiritual Law platform,
Yun Ye stood in the center. Although he was quite arrogant, Ao Xiu, Tianxin Longming, and the others did not breach decorum and interrupt.
It was not that they were afraid; they simply acknowledged the rightful status of this extremely young genius.
To establish oneself in the Great Wilderness, one must possess either power or potential.
Yun Ye possessed both power and potential, backed by the Qushuang family. Aside from opposing forces, no one would easily provoke him.
"Indeed, my instincts were not wrong. This child is… extremely terrifying," Nangong Xungu muttered to himself, silently stepping back a few paces. He was almost certain that this grand event was not meant for him, and the champion would surely be this "Xiang Ying."
With Yun Ye’s stunning appearance, the subsequent battles became ordinary. These spiritual realm experts formed alliances, taking a long time to defeat their opponents until only sixteen remained, entering the official phase.
During this period, there were many casualties; numerous spiritual realm fighters met their end.
What people did not see was that a great deal of fortune surged from the corpses of the deceased, gathering around the red silk ball.
The losers only drew a portion of their fortune, but all the fortune from the dead would be devoured.
This was akin to raising a venomous insect.
If this were known, battles would inevitably become relentless; the spiritual realms of ordinary families would be completely wiped out, turned into nourishment. Only those with very high status could hope to survive.
"The Spiritual Law platform will be divided into eight sections. Those willing to defend, please take the stage; the others may choose one person to challenge."
"The victors will advance to the next stage, continuing this way until the final winner is determined."
Xiang Baizheng’s voice echoed, and the entire Spiritual Law platform rumbled as eight barriers were created.
In the center, there was a marked point where the champion would stand.
Yun Ye stood at that central point, not needing to move at all.
Many people noticed this detail.
After a little calculation, they realized that the final center of the platform must be the spot beneath Yun Ye’s feet.
"Is he so sure he will emerge victorious in the end?"
Everyone was astonished.
Although they felt that Yun Ye was extraordinary, they certainly did not overestimate him to the point of thinking he could win against everyone without fail.
Besides Ao Xiu, You Kaiwu, and Tianxin Longming, there was someone truly close to the Qilin Rankings present—Nangong Xungu!
Fighting a Spiritual Law practitioner as a spiritual realm fighter, while not entirely incapable, meant that the law realm fighters could not truly challenge him; his strength had surpassed the spiritual realm.
If one were to consider the greatest odds of victory, it would absolutely be Nangong Xungu. Without hidden trump cards, others were destined to retreat.
"…"
You Kaiwu and the other three geniuses stepped forward, taking up the four corners.
The remaining participants fought with all their might for the other spots.
If they did not compete for the last three spots, they might have to face the five geniuses, which would be a fool’s errand.
Soon, amidst the chaos, they completed their struggle and chose their opponents.
Interestingly, Yun Ye’s opponent did not participate in the competition; he simply stood in front of Yun Ye.
While others waited before the weaker opponents, this person chose Yun Ye from the beginning, appearing confident that he could make a surprising impact by picking what seemed to be the weakest and most unreliable opponent.
The man in black robes, hiding his features, now removed his hood.
He had an utterly ordinary appearance, even less expressive than Yun Ye’s.
He looked like a nameless nobody.
"You are very peculiar," Yun Ye said, seeming to sense something, though it remained vague and unclear.
This sense of dissonance made Yun Ye frown.
His heart became more serious; this man in black was not here simply for a win or loss.
"My name is ‘Wuxin,’ meaning ‘no new.’ You may think of me as an enemy of the Qushuang Family. The disciples accepted by the Qushuang Family are often determined by Spirit Law to be individuals capable of shocking the world. As it turns out, you do have exceptional talent, perhaps another peerless…"
The man in black moved his fingers, and a wisp of black energy immediately spread. "So, I can only ask you to die."
"Spirit Law—"
"Boom!"
Before the man in black could finish speaking, his body shattered, exploding into a storm of blood.
Yun Ye suddenly appeared behind the man in black, slightly frowning as he glanced at the spot where the man had stood.
Crystal flames surged around him as he waved his hand, evaporating all the blood.
"There is a sense of dissonance; this person is a puppet, isn’t he?"
When the man spoke earlier, Yun Ye sensed that he was attempting to influence him subtly with Spirit Law.
If he were allowed to unleash Spirit Law, it might cause disturbances, so it was better to eliminate him directly.
"A moment to finish; is this guy a Physical Law practitioner or a Spiritual Law practitioner?"
The four geniuses similarly crushed their opponents, with two being directly obliterated, frightening the others into surrendering, unwilling to fight against these geniuses.
The four geniuses showed little interest in the weaker opponents; they eliminated them quickly, merely hoping to observe others sooner.
Surrendering was the best option for them.
However, they never expected that in just a few exchanges, Yun Ye would suddenly strike, crushing his opponent without resistance.
This increased the four geniuses’ wariness of Yun Ye.
His speed was truly too fast; although they could still see clearly, who knew if this was his limit?
"Third round."
Only eight were left in the third round, and two of the five geniuses would inevitably face off.
With two weak opponents directly forfeiting, the battle of the geniuses began.
You Kaiwu strode towards Yun Ye, exuding overwhelming spirit; the chains around him clanked as he declared, "As fellow Physical Law practitioners, we should fight! I want to see who the true strong one is! If you don’t satisfy me, next year on this day will be your death anniversary!"
"Come to battle!"
You Kaiwu opened his mouth, swallowing deeply, and a white rainbow descended from the sky, rich spirit energy visible to the naked eye.
As the energy was absorbed, he suddenly spread his arms wide; the star ring expanded, directly uprooting the ground and air.
Yun Ye stood firm, crystal flames igniting around his body.
"Boom!"
With a stomp from You Kaiwu, the entire venue trembled, and he vanished, charging towards Yun Ye.
