Chapter 53 - 53 52 The Angry Lin Xuan

53: Chapter 52: The Angry Lin Xuan 53: Chapter 52: The Angry Lin Xuan “Number 135, Lin Xuan wins!” the judge’s voice echoed through the Martial Arts Arena. In the stands, a group of Battle Group disciples were stunned, having no clue what had happened. In the subsequent matches, Lin Xuan defeated his opponents with only a few moves, making it look effortless. “He is so powerful! Could he possibly have the strength of the top twenty in the Outer Door?” Many disciples admired him. From that moment, everyone considered Lin Xuan among the ranks of genius masters, and many disciples even hoped Lin Xuan could change the current standings, perhaps becoming another top expert in the Outer Door. “It’s difficult though, even though Lin Xuan is showing incredible prowess now, he still falls short compared to the Outer Four Masters. He might not even make it into the top ten!” Some were skeptical about Lin Xuan’s chances. “Not necessarily, Lin Xuan hasn’t even used his Spiritual Power, he must be holding back! I think he definitely has a chance to break into the top ten!” “Maybe he practices Body Cultivation, and his Spiritual Power isn’t outstanding!” Many didn’t believe Lin Xuan had profound Spiritual Power—if that was the case, he would be too terrifying! “Next match, Shangguan Liuyun versus Yan Kong!” Those discussing Lin Xuan stopped abruptly, turning their fiery gazes toward Arena Number One. Shangguan Liuyun, ranked first in the Outer Door and the leader of the Four Masters, did not belong to any faction, yet no one dared to provoke him. Yan Kong’s face was darker than charred coal. He couldn’t help but curse; he wanted to forfeit but couldn’t because of his status. He had to bite the bullet and go up as the person in charge of the Divine Power Group’s Outer Door. If he were defeated without fighting, it would greatly impact the Divine Power Group. Fortunately, he was also a top ninth-ranked expert; although he couldn’t defeat Shangguan Liuyun, he believed he could hold on for a while. Whoosh! Yan Kong leaped up, landing on the arena. Across from him, Shangguan Liuyun stood like a God Demon, hands behind his back, his eyes not even open. Arrogant, too arrogant! Yan Kong trembled with rage. Even though his opponent was ranked first, he was also the ninth-ranked young genius and the person in charge of the Divine Power Group’s Outer Door, a position of great prestige; he had never been so ignored. Therefore, he used his strongest move right from the start, planning to give this number one a taste of his power. “Eight-directions Unlimited Blade!” Yan Kong swung his blade, with sword light swinging from all sides, encircling Shangguan Liuyun. “Hmph! This is Yellow Rank Advanced Martial Arts, and I’ve already reached the Great Achievement Realm, let’s see if you can keep your eyes shut!” Yan Kong gritted his teeth. Crack! Just as Yan Kong was secretly pleased, Shangguan Liuyun, standing in the center, suddenly extended his hand, making a fist-sealing gesture. The surrounding sword light shattered like a broken mirror. “What?” Yan Kong turned pale in an instant. The disciples in the stands were also stunned by this move, forgetting to cheer. Jiang Yulong suddenly stood up straight, his icy gaze fixed on Shangguan Liuyun. “This guy, has he improved again? I’m eagerly looking forward to fighting you, I want everyone to know that I’m the number one in the Outer Door!” Duan Fei, Shen Qian’er and others had their thoughts flickering, wondering about something. On the golden stands, Elder Li said in a deep voice, “This young man, not bad!” In the arena, Yan Kong watched helplessly as his attacks shattered in an instant, without any ability to resist. Shangguan Liuyun stood on the arena like a dazzling Divine Spear, straight and imposing. Those eyes remained tightly shut. Boom! The next moment, Yan Kong was directly sent flying by the condensed Spiritual Power, falling off the arena. “The winner, Shangguan Liuyun.” It took a while after the match ended for the people to recover, completely shocked by Shangguan Liuyun’s aura. “Unfathomable!” was Lin Xuan’s evaluation, never expecting such a character within the Outer Door. “Hmph, the world is vast, filled with geniuses and prodigies! Once you step out of Yunzhou, you’ll find that the world outside is even more thrilling, and the geniuses out there are even more powerful!” Lord of Wine said within Lin Xuan’s mind, “Not to mention, disciples from the War God Palace in Central State alone could wipe out the entirety of Yunzhou!” Lin Xuan was astonished; it seemed the world outside was truly more terrifying than he had imagined. “I must visit the War God Palace when I have the chance!” Lin Xuan secretly decided. The competition proceeded again, and during that period, there were many spectacular battles that captivated everyone. However, a peculiar match caught the attention of most people. Contestant number three versus contestant number one hundred thirty-four. Jiang Yulong versus Yin Qingyi! The wide gap in their rankings immediately drew everyone’s attention, and many began to inquire about Yin Qingyi, only then remembering that she was the lucky disciple. “Facing Jiang Yulong, I’m afraid her luck has run out.” “Which one is Yin Qingyi? I must see her for myself!” The disciples in the stands were very eager. “No need to push yourself, just forfeit if it’s too much,” Lin Xuan said with concern. “Yes, you shouldn’t fight that detestable Jiang Yulong,” urged Tang Yu as well. “I, I want to try,” murmured Yin Qingyi, her head bowed low. “What? You…” Tang Yu tried to say more, but Lin Xuan stopped him. “Then, good luck!” Lin Xuan’s voice was warm, like the noon sun, shining into the girl’s heart. “Ah?” Yin Qingyi lifted her small face, looking at Lin Xuan in surprise, excitement shimmering in her clear eyes. “Mm!” She nodded vigorously. From the crowd, a frail-looking girl slowly emerged, advancing step by step toward Arena number five. Her head was bowed, her small hands clutched tightly at the hem of her robe as she stepped onto the arena. “Hmph! Just a little girl?” Jiang Yulong stood arrogantly on the arena, snorting disdainfully, “Give up, competing with a low-level disciple like you is meaningless.” Many in the stands felt deep sympathy for Yin Qingyi, for she seemed too fragile, like a plant that could break at any moment before Jiang Yulong. Yet, this seemingly delicate girl insisted, “Please, senior brother, enlighten me!” “Foolish!” Jiang Yulong sneered, and with his fingers shaped like a sword, a brilliant red sword qi burst from his fingertips, whistling towards Yin Qingyi. The crowd tensed up, all eager to see how this fragile girl would dodge the fierce attack. Unexpectedly, Yin Qingyi did not dodge; instead, she had her longsword planted in the ground, her fingers forming a strange sword technique. Around her, a semi-transparent sword array formed, faintly flowing with runes. As the girl changed her hand seals, a light screen formed in front of her, shielding her effectively. Hiss! Hiss! The red sword qi struck the light screen, producing a sound like ice and fire merging, finally both dissipating midair. Everyone was astonished that this feeble girl could withstand a strike from Jiang Yulong. Many couldn’t help but shout out, especially the disciples from the Battle Group who were mocking Jiang Yulong. “Get lost!” With his mood already foul, Jiang Yulong felt an intense sense of crisis from Lin Xuan’s sudden rise, Duan Fei’s composure, and Shangguan Liuyun’s unfathomable depth.

A sword light suddenly erupted, roaring towards Yin Qingyi like a red ribbon. “Ah!” The girl cried out, rapidly activating the sword array, but soon she was engulfed by the red glow. Her fragile body gradually soared into the sky amid the audience’s gasps; her body seemed to fall into endless darkness. Suddenly, a beam of sunlight pierced the darkness, and a pair of strong arms caught her, followed by a rush of vibrant Spiritual Power rapidly flowing into her body. Yin Qingyi slowly opened her eyes and whispered, “Lin, Lin Xuan…” After catching Yin Qingyi, Lin Xuan quickly infused his own Spiritual Power, his calmness terrifying, like a Fierce Beast about to explode. “You deserve to die!” he stared at Jiang Yulong and said in a grave tone.
