Chapter 88: First Place Duan Tianye

The atmosphere in the Martial-arts Arena felt a bit awkward. Yun Yi stood in the center of the arena, looking down at everyone with unmatched confidence and brilliance.

The entire second-tier area fell silent, which made Yun Yi very disappointed. He had just gotten excited to fight, and now his fighting spirit couldn’t fade. The nine lotus platforms in his dantian were spinning rapidly. He desperately needed a thrilling battle to refine his Innate Dao Body, but since coming to the second-tier area, he had not felt any pressure.

Only Nie Qing could fight him, but he still wasn’t satisfied.

"Who else? Who will fight me?"

Yun Yi’s voice echoed powerfully, his words spreading far and wide.

However, what he received was still silence.

"Is there no one left in the second-tier area? What about the top two? Are they too scared to come and fight me, Yun Yi?"

Yun Yi was full of arrogance, looking like he intended to keep it up.

In fact, Yun Yi was not a brash person, but right now he was filled with fighting spirit. He had to fight to find peace; he had no other choice but to provoke the real experts in the second-tier area to appear.

"Haha, isn’t your second-tier area supposed to be impressive? Now you’re being beaten by a third-tier disciple, too afraid to even make a sound. Let’s see if you dare to strut around the third-tier area."

"Exactly, in such a large second-tier area, you can’t find anyone who can match Yun Yi."

"Disappointed, so very disappointed."

…

Outside the Martial-arts Arena, many low-ranking disciples were shouting loudly. As the lowest-ranked members of the Yanwu family, they usually faced bullying from the second-ranking disciples. Today, because of Yun Yi’s appearance, they finally felt bold. They would not miss this chance to show off.

The second-ranking disciples looked unhappy, but since Nie Qing had been defeated, they couldn’t find anyone to challenge Yun Yi. Unless that crazy person decided to step in, but sadly, even the Grand Elder couldn’t command him in the entire second-ranking area.

In mid-air, Xiao Ruoshui and several elders remained silent. They were just watching and would not intervene.

The Yanwu family had an unwritten rule: they did not interfere in the rivalries between disciples. They let the disciples compete freely. The more fierce and brutal the competition, the better it was for the growth of the family.

At the edge of the Martial-arts Arena, the Grand Elder was not frowning. After all, he was the Grand Elder of the second-ranking area and the Chief Steward. Now that someone was challenging the second-ranking area, he felt embarrassed.

"Grand Elder, what should we do now? The young lady and several elders are watching from above. From Yun Yi’s stance, it seems he won’t stop without a good fight today."

The Second Elder whispered; they never expected things to come this far.

"Second Elder, go tell Duan Tianye that someone is challenging him. Remember to say that Nie Qing has lost and now they have named him to fight."

The Grand Elder said.

"Alright, now it seems only this madman can defeat Yun Yi and save our honor."

The Second Elder smiled, then turned and left.

Before long, the Second Elder returned, followed by an extraordinarily handsome young man in black.

The young man looked about seventeen or eighteen, his build was similar to Yun Yi’s, dressed in black with white hair, and his sharp eyes seemed like they came from a ghost in hell.

"He’s here, he’s here, that madman has arrived."

"Great, Duan Tianye has finally appeared; Yun Yi is finished."

"Now that he’s here, we can relax. Fighting this guy really makes me feel sorry for Yun Yi."

…

The appearance of Duan Tianye immediately caused a great stir. This stir was much larger than when Nie Qing appeared before. He was truly a master of the second-tier area, a rare and unique talent from the Yanwu family.

After Duan Tianye appeared, his gaze fell on Yun Yi. When he clearly saw Yun Yi’s strength, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow and angrily looked at the Second Elder, saying, "Second Elder, are you here to amuse yourself? Is he challenging me?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Duan Tianye’s eyes before he turned to leave.

"Hey, hey!"

The Second Elder hurriedly grabbed Duan Tianye, saying, "Tianye, you must not underestimate this guy. He has a Fire Dual Spirit Body. He just defeated Nie Qing, who also has a Fire Spirit Body, and now he claims he wants to fight the number one in the second-tier area. If you leave, that would mean you admit defeat. Tianye, you’re not scared, are you?"

Upon hearing the word "scared," Duan Tianye, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around. His sharp gaze was fixed on the Second Elder. Faced with his stare, the Second Elder, at the eighth grade of the Innate Realm, actually dared not meet his eyes.

"Scared? In my mind, what does ‘scared’ mean?"

Duan Tianye said coldly, then turned and strode to the center of the Martial-arts Arena, standing opposite Yun Yi.

"Did you defeat Nie Qing? Now you want to challenge me?"

Duan Tianye asked.

"That’s right."

Yun Yi replied firmly. He could feel the strength of the person in front of him. This strength was exactly what Yun Yi wanted. If he wanted a thrilling battle, this person was his only choice.

"Alright, as you wish, I will fight you. But I must warn you, be prepared when you face me."

Duan Tianye said, and suddenly, a wild power erupted from his body, pure black energy filled with strong magic.

"Heavenly Demon Physique."

Black Wind immediately exclaimed, sending a message to Yun Yi’s ear, "Little Yun, you have met your match. This guy has the rare Heavenly Demon Physique, an ancient body type and a king of magic. I didn’t expect to find such a presence in a small place like Xuanzhou State. The Heavenly Demon Physique is stronger than a normal Dual Spiritual Body or even a Three Spirit Body. You need to be careful."

Hearing this, Yun Yi’s eyes instantly shone with light. He knew Black Wind had sharp eyes and could recognize any body type at a glance. If even he took Duan Tianye so seriously, it showed how extraordinary Duan Tianye was.

Such a mysterious body; perhaps no one in the Yanwu family can see it, not even Duan Tianye himself, is likely unaware.

"Senior Brother Yun, be careful! Duan Tianye is the top expert in the second area; he has defeated a seventh-grade disciple from the first area. He is a rare magical body, fights very fiercely, and is nicknamed the Madman. Compared to him, Nie Qing is on an entirely different level. I didn’t expect him to take action."

Bai Song warned, clearly filled with great fear towards Duan Tianye.

In fact, in the entire Yanwu family, while Duan Tianye is not the strongest disciple, he is the most valued genius after Xiao Ruoshui, who has the Dual Spiritual Body.

He is a rare magical body; the higher-ups of the Yanwu family cannot discern his specific constitution, but at just seventeen years old, Duan Tianye has already reached the peak of the sixth grade of the Innate Realm. His extraordinary talent makes it impossible not to pay attention to him.

Some say that Duan Tianye is the most promising genius disciple of the Yanwu family.
