Chapter 326: Mutual Refinement
The Sky Reaching cultivator raised his palm and forcefully pressed it down towards Jiang Yun.
However, a sudden black light burst out from Jiang Yun’s body, meeting the cultivator’s descending palm head-on.
Jiang Yun swiftly moved past the Sky Reaching cultivator and charged towards the slender young man.
"Chirp chirp!"
Along with a strange chirping sound, the Sky Reaching cultivator from the Sea clan finally saw clearly what was blocking their path – a small bat!
However, the bat emitted energy waves that matched their own.
A spirit demon of the Sky Reaching Realm!
Naturally, this was the Cold Dark-winged Bat.
For Jiang Yun, a cultivator of the Blessed Land Realm, the Cold Dark-winged Bat was always a powerful weapon that he only summoned in dire situations.
And once summoned, it always proved effective.
It was the same now.
The appearance of the Cold Dark-winged Bat successfully held back the powerful Sea clan warrior, allowing Jiang Yun to continue heading towards the young man.
At this point, everyone understood the situation in front of them.
Jiang Yun wanted to kill the skinny man, while the skinny man tried his best to attack Jiang Yun.
The Sea clan didn’t know Jiang Yun, and the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect didn’t recognize the skinny man either.
They could only guess that both of them were skilled in the Blessed Land Realm by sensing their energy fluctuations.
Naturally, they both knew that the outcome of this test battle depended on these two individuals.
Whoever could defeat the other first had a great chance of winning this test battle.
Seeing that even the cave-dwelling cultivator couldn’t stop Jiang Yun from approaching him, the skinny man looked surprised.
His brow furrowed as he muttered to himself, "Strange, I’ve never heard of such a remarkable figure among the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect."
"There are plenty of renowned medicine cultivator disciples among them, but there isn’t a standout non-medicine cultivator disciple, let alone one who has opened the tenth meridian."
"According to the information from Ten Thousand Demons Cave, on Wushan Island, only Feng Wuji from the Samsara Sect has opened up the tenth energy vein, and he is clearly not a demon but a human!"
"Could it be that the information from Ten Thousand Demons Cave is wrong?"
"Whoever he is, he is sure to die today, if we can’t kill him today, he may become a great threat to our Sea clan in the future!"
Thinking this, the thin man suddenly reached out his hand.
Suddenly, within the space between him and Jiang Yun, all the Sea clan changed their focus from their opponents to face him, moving towards them.
Despite suffering higher casualties in the battle for the past half day, the Sea clan still had around four thousand warriors who were able to fight, outnumbering the Grand Medicine Sect.
With the thin man’s call, almost half of the Sea clan, around two thousand of them, quickly gathered between him and Jiang Yun within the sea.
Instead of attacking Jiang Yun, they stood there, using their bodies to form a long wall, blocking Jiang Yun’s path.
This method of blockade was indeed more effective than if all Sea clan members had rushed forward to attack Jiang Yun.
If Jiang Yun has enough power, like the flame bird attack he used before, he can cause great harm to the Sea clan.
But with the Sea clan forming a human wall and relying on the sea.
Even if it’s Jiang Yun or a powerful cultivator, they can’t break through this human wall in a short time.
"Now, let’s see how you’ll try to kill me!"
Seeing that Jiang Yun, who was clearly slowing down and no longer able to charge towards him, the thin man’s face revealed a smirk.
Jiang Yun was indeed stuck.
He realized that even if he used all his strength and spell techniques, he couldn’t break through the Sea clan human wall ahead.
Even if two thousand Sea clan members stood there without fighting back, it would still take some time to defeat them.
During this time, Jiang Yun believed that the thin man must have already planned other attack strategies.
"Now, I seem to understand a bit why the Sea clan’s test battle seemed so weak."
"Obviously, it’s because of this skinny man!"
"They intentionally used this opportunity of the big battle, even sacrificing many of their own clan members, seemingly to train this skinny man, to help him grow faster!"
"So, his status within the Sea clan must be high."
"Even if I could reach him, he would definitely have skilled guards beside him!"
While Jiang Yun was guessing the identity of his opponent, Elder Shen’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "His name is Hai Qingfeng, he is a member of the Sea clan, and a pride of the clan."
"So the real purpose of this test battle is to give him a chance to develop."
Upon hearing Elder Shen’s explanation, Jiang Yun wasn’t very surprised.
Because he knew that if he could notice the situation, Elder Shen with his abilities and insight, must have noticed it long ago.
But he didn’t do anything to resolve the issue with Hai Qingfeng, he didn’t even tell the participating disciples from the Grand Medicine Sect about Hai Qingfeng’s special identity, nor did he tell himself.
Others may find Elder Shen’s actions strange, but Jiang Yun could vaguely guess Elder Shen’s purpose in doing so.
It’s all about training!
To train the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect!
Let them know that in this great battle, there will truly be deaths!
As the Supreme Ancestor said, the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect are used to a life of being revered and admired by many, so in such a great battle, they are simply unable to compete with other forces.
Especially Jiang Yun, through his journey of helping others, also deeply experienced this.
Think about Guo Si, who was extremely arrogant and reckless when facing himself in Heavenly Pill City before.
However, on this battlefield, facing the Sea clan, he didn’t even have basic fighting skills, only thinking about fighting desperately.
As for the other disciples, most of them are also like this.
One by one, they keep using flashy but impractical spells, wasting spiritual energy and power, almost asking for trouble.
Therefore, they definitely need training.
The simplest and most practical way to train is to experience life-and-death battles and face the threat of death.
Even Jiang Yun dares to boldly guess that Elder Shen and other high-ranking members of the Grand Medicine Sect may already be prepared to sacrifice a large number of disciples.
After the great battle, only the disciples who survive will be the main focus of their training.
The reason why they were initially in an advantageous position was completely due to Hai Qingfeng not yet having the ability to control all Sea clans.
But once he becomes proficient in such large-scale battles and in controlling every Sea clan, the Grand Medicine Sect will face total annihilation!
In short, this trial battle is actually a test for the Sea clan and the Grand Medicine Sect to train their disciples and people by using each other.
With some sympathy, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but glance back at the forty-five Grand Medicine Sect disciples, led by Guo Si, who were still desperately chasing after him.
But with that glance, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Because he finally figured out how to break through the towering Sea clan people wall in front of him!
