Faced with Huang Lin's desperate attack and ferocious supernatural power, Yang Jian remained as calm and composed as before. Even though Huang Lin's cultivation had increased dramatically and his supernatural powers were formidable, Yang Jian still had ways to deal with him.

At this moment,

Yang Jian's aura grew increasingly solid, like an abyss, unfathomable, as he unleashed the Nine-Character Secret Technique.

The Nine-Character Secret Technique was incredibly powerful. Yang Jian unleashed it with all his might, and he and Huang Lian fought fiercely, locked in a close battle.

The "Secret Technique of Soldiers" is a secret art of controlling weapons. It can control all things, and at its peak, it can even control enemies as weapons. Gai Jiuyou once used this secret technique, which made the ancient clan's Great Saint extremely wary, and even the ancient imperial weapons were suppressed by it for a period of time.

The Word Formation Secret is a specialized study of formations. Generally, it's difficult for non-Great Emperor level figures to comprehend Emperor-level formation runes ahead of time. However, the Word Formation Secret can overcome the limitations of level, making it the secret technique that the Black Emperor most desires. Its founder, relying on formation runes and the Emperor Sword, created the greatest killing formation in history, and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation is clearly far more powerful than ordinary Great Emperor weapons.

The "Zhe" Secret Technique is known as a life-saving divine art. It can be said that the ability to revive from a sliver of blood and recover instantly is not just talk; it truly has that ability. Moreover, it can extend one's lifespan. The drawback is that it is not an offensive technique, but only for self-preservation.

The Fighting Secret Technique, also known as the Battle Saint Technique, is the strongest close-combat technique. It is one of the best secret techniques for those with a Saint Body, Saint Body, or Overlord Body. Its drawback is that it is extremely effective for cultivators with strong melee combat abilities, but those with weak physical bodies can only face ordinary opponents.

The "Pre-Head Secret" allows one to foresee a glimpse of future developments, essentially granting the ability to know an opponent's moves and strategies in advance – a truly extraordinary feat. However, its drawbacks include its difficulty in cultivation, its challenge in reaching its full potential, and its vulnerability to backlash, as it defies the natural order.

The "Word of Speed ​​Secret" is the fastest secret technique in the world, capable of touching the realm of time when mastered. Activating it is not difficult; one only needs to comprehend it. Furthermore, it allows one to traverse many large formations without being restricted. Its drawbacks are that it is difficult to comprehend and can only be practiced by humanoid beings.

The All-Encompassing Secret can amplify one's combat power, speed, primordial spirit, and everything else useful tenfold, making it incredibly powerful. However, its drawback is the low activation rate, rendering it practically useless for those at the Eighth Forbidden level, as they cannot activate it unless they fall out of the Eighth Forbidden level or enter the Divine Forbidden level. The former is meaningless, and the latter is extremely difficult, requiring the level of a young Great Emperor to even have a chance. Therefore, unless one encounters an unparalleled figure, the All-Encompassing Secret is actually quite friendly to ordinary cultivators.

Given the current environment,

Among the Nine-Character Secrets, Yang Jian's best versions are the "Dou" (斗) Secret, the "Jie" (皆) Secret, and the "Xing" (行) Secret.

In an instant, Yang Jian's sacred body became even more powerful and domineering.

The "Xing" technique allowed Yang Jian to reach extreme speed. These three secret techniques were used to their fullest extent. Even though Huang Lin's cultivation level increased dramatically after using the secret techniques, Yang Jian still dealt with them with ease and did not show the slightest sign of defeat.

Seeing this scene, everyone was truly astonished. Yang Jian hadn't even used his full strength yet. This... this was truly shocking.

At this moment, although Huang Lin did not reach the Dao Integration Realm, he definitely possessed the power of the Dao Integration Realm. Under such circumstances, Yang Jian was still able to fight against him, which was truly terrifying.

Yang Jian's magic was something they had never seen before, which made them feel unsettled.

In a short time,

A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd, followed by a chorus of astonished whispers.

"His... Junior Brother Yang Jian's combat strength is terrifyingly high! What incredible talent he possesses!"

"It seems the outcome is uncertain; Senior Huang Lin might not necessarily win!"

"Just now we were saying that the elders might need to intervene to save Junior Brother Yang Jian, but now it seems that it's not necessary at all."

"The future...is limitless!"

"..."

At this moment, many people had their own thoughts. If they could befriend Yang Jian now, they might have an extra powerful backer in the future. Of course, they also regretted not befriending him before he showed his talent. Although offering help in times of need is an inappropriate description, it is still better than adding flowers to brocade.

Suddenly, they were amazed by Ye Rou's keen eye and good fortune.

She's on good terms with Yang Jian, so she'll have another powerful backer in the future!

At this time,

The elders in the inner palace were also surprised and began to discuss among themselves.

"It's truly unbelievable that such a gifted individual could exist since the Primordial Era, possessing unparalleled combat prowess and invincible among those of the same realm. It seems... my Qinglin Academy is destined for a great resurgence!"

"Such a promising talent, it seems I'll have to put in a lot of effort to nurture him properly!"

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is this? You think you can train him?! Don't waste your energy, I'll do it!"

"There's no need to argue. Your senior brothers have countless talented young men under their command. In previous years, they always chose first. This year, I'll choose first. That shouldn't be a problem, right?!"

"No problem? Ha, this is a big problem. Junior brother, you're still young and far from qualified in teaching. Let me handle this!"

"..."

At this moment, a group of elders from the inner court began to vie for Yang Jian's place, each wanting him to become their disciple. With Yang Jian's talent, as long as he grows up and doesn't fall along the way, he will surely stand at the pinnacle in the future.

They are naturally proud to have such a student, and they certainly don't want to miss out on such a promising talent.

now,

On the arena,

Huang Lin roared in frustration. He simply couldn't believe that Yang Jian's combat power had reached such a level. He had already used secret techniques and unleashed all his powerful divine abilities, but he still couldn't suppress Yang Jian, let alone kill him.

How could someone at the seventh level of the Dao Realm possess such combat power? Even now, Huang Lin finds it hard to believe.

But... the facts are clear: he is no match for Yang Jian at all.

Moreover, as time went on, the side effects of the secret technique had already begun to manifest.

His vital energy began to decline first, followed by his surge in power. Then, his own power began to dissipate, and he had no chance to reverse the situation.

It’s over!

Huang Lin was filled with remorse. If he had known it would end like this, why would he have provoked Yang Jian? Wouldn't it have been better to be alive?

At this moment,

As Huang Lin's power waned and the side effects of his secret technique became apparent, Yang Jian showed no mercy and decisively killed Huang Lin with a single move.

The matter came to a close, and everyone who witnessed the outcome was left with a lingering sense of unease.

Although I had already seen the ending, I was still shocked when it was actually presented to me.

after,

The competition continued, but all of Yang Jian's opponents voluntarily conceded defeat. What was there left to compare? Yang Jian's combat prowess was undeniable, so they decided to leave gracefully rather than seek further humiliation.

This made the elders of the inner court shake their heads. Even if Yang Jian was very strong, they didn't even have the courage to make a move. They would never become strong in their lifetime.

As time went on, the competition became increasingly intense. At this moment, Yang Jian was somewhat taken aback by the new opponent on the stage: Ye Rou!
