Those who mocked, despised, booed, and commented... were all dumbfounded at this moment. Even Fen Juebi and Fen Juecheng's expressions froze for a moment.
Yun Che defeated Fu Yanjie first, and they could understand that Fu Yanjie underestimated his opponent and was unlucky, and was hit by Yun Che's coincidence, which drained his strength. But just now, when Fu Yanjie attacked with his sword, anyone could see that he used all his strength and did not hold back at all. The sharp sword wind could be heard clearly dozens of feet away. For such a full-strength sword, opponents of the same level can generally only choose to avoid it, and they may not be able to completely block it even if they block it hard.
Yun Che not only did not dodge, but instead met the attack with his bare hands. In an instant, he used his palm to shatter the giant sword that was infused with profound energy. At the same time, he kicked Fu Yinjie again... It was just a light kick, but it caused Fu Yinjie to be defeated instantly and fainted on the spot.
Even an idiot would not think that this was just a coincidence.
At least, none of the sect disciples who used a condescending attitude to constantly mock, cheer, and show off their superiority could do it. They all shut up, no longer able to utter a single word of contempt, and all stared blankly at Yun Che. Their originally contemptuous and arrogant eyes now became dull, and even carried a slight fear and dread, with their faces burning with anger.
"He... is he really in the True Profound Realm?"
"Maybe there's something wrong with the Mysterious Stone."
"Fu Yanjie was defeated in seconds, Fu Yinjie was defeated in seconds, one of them was at the second level of the Profound Realm, and the other was at the third level of the Profound Realm... How could such power be only at the True Profound Realm?"
Yun Che's second match ended cleanly. Originally, he wanted to be as tactful as possible in the group stage to avoid attracting too much attention, but he didn't expect that someone would plot against him as soon as the match started, and it was from the Burning Heaven Sect. In this case, there was no need for him to hold back. He defeated Fu Yinjie in seconds, giving a hard slap to all those who despised him, and at the same time, he was also announcing to Fen Juecheng... If you want to plot against me, Yun Che, at least find someone who is qualified enough!
"Father, did you see that?" After witnessing the extremely brief battle just now, Ling Yun turned his eyes and whispered.
"Yes," Ling Yuefeng nodded slowly, "It is indeed amazing, and it exceeds my expectations."
After a while, he added calmly: "Perhaps it is even more amazing than what I expected now. Maybe, he has the strength to make it into the top 100! A True Profound Realm Xuanist entering the top 100 of the ranking battle will create an extremely amazing history."
Ling Yun nodded slowly: "I think so too. I am very curious. He is just a disciple of Cangfeng Xuanfu. He definitely has no advantages in resources and Xuangong, but he can use Xuanli to a power far beyond the level of Xuanli... How did he do it? Is he really gifted to this extent?"
Before the ranking competition officially began, Yun Che had already received a lot of attention. After winning two games in a row in seconds, the attention he received increased sharply. However, the former attention was contemptuous, while the latter was shock and disbelief. A True Profound Realm disciple actually defeated two Spiritual Profound Realm opponents in a row, and both were defeated in seconds! Not only those young disciples, but even the elders who accompanied him and were very influential, were also quite surprised.
When Yun Che's third match began, there was no more booing around, and the number of people paying attention to this match increased dramatically again. This time, the opponent's profound strength was at the third level of the Spiritual Profound Realm, but he no longer had the attitude of being sure of winning. Instead, he was much more cautious. After repeated attempts, he swung his weapon and rolled his profound strength to attack Yun Che.
Yun Che didn’t even bother to look at his attack. He stretched out his right arm in a straight line, and directly penetrated the opponent’s numerous sword shadows and profound energy defenses like a rotten wood, hitting him right above the chest, knocking him over in the air more than a dozen times. When he landed on the ground, he was already dizzy, and the long sword in his hand flew to an unknown place.
“Thank you… please show some mercy. I admit defeat.” The opponent stood up unsteadily, bowed to Yun Che in gratitude, and then admitted defeat and stepped down. He knew very well that Yun Che’s attack just now could easily have seriously injured him, but his continuous tumbling in the air had gradually reduced the tyrannical force he had received, and he was basically unscathed when he landed.
"Blue Wind Imperial Family's Yun Che wins!"
The third battle, still won in seconds!
This time, among all the eyes that looked towards Yun Che, there was no longer a trace of contempt or ridicule... There was only shock and deep disbelief.
Perhaps it was due to good luck, Yun Che's group did not have any masters, not even a decent mid-level player, so Yun Che played five games in the day, and won every game easily. Every victory also made his name more deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
In every ranking match, there will be one or more dark horses, but there has never been such an exaggerated dark horse! The strength of the True Profound Realm, the last one among all the participating disciples, and the second to last one have a big realm bottleneck gap, but in the first round of the group stage, five games and five wins!
As time gradually turned to dusk, the first day of the competition came to an end. There were more than 2,000 matches on the thirty sword arenas, and among so many matches, there must have been many wonderful and thrilling matches. However, after the first day of competition, the most talked about thing was not these, but the super dark horse that everyone had not expected - Yun Che.
No… If a disciple from another sect defeated a disciple of the same level from the four major sects, he could be called a dark horse. But Yun Che’s profound strength level was clearly there, and he repeatedly defeated his opponents by leaps and bounds. This could no longer be called a dark horse, but a freak that was enough to shock everyone.
"Haha! Brother-in-law, you have no idea how wonderful those people's expressions are. Looking at their expressions, their eyeballs are about to fall to the ground. Hehe, I knew that once brother-in-law makes a move, they will be scared." Xia Yuanba said with a beaming face. He looked so excited that it was as if he had won a big victory in the ranking match.
“I’ve read the information about the fifteenth group. There aren’t any strong people in it, at least not a single disciple from the four major sects. We can only say that we were lucky.” Qin Wushang said calmly: “So, Yun Che, don’t be complacent just because you won a few games too easily today. The opponents you encountered today are all at the bottom of the ladder. None of them are qualified to enter the top seven hundred.”
“I understand.” Yun Che nodded.
At this time, in front of them, five fairy figures dressed in white with icy fluttering figures were walking slowly. At first glance, it was like seeing five fairies walking on clouds, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.
Seeing them, Yun Che was slightly startled and subconsciously stopped.
"Ah... it's my sister!"
“Sister, sister!”
Growing up with a stunning beauty like Xia Qingyue, and with a few less brains, Xia Yuanba had a strong immunity to beautiful women. These stunning women from the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, coupled with their extraordinary temperament, were enough to make experienced elders lose their minds for a long time, not to mention the young people full of vigor and vitality. However, Xia Yuanba had no such concerns at all. He shouted in surprise and trotted towards Xia Qingyue, almost ignoring the women from the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace around her.
“Yuanba?” Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise and she stopped in her tracks. She was caught off guard by meeting Xia Yuanba here. Looking at her taller brother, the coldness in her eyes completely disappeared. She asked softly with surprise, “Why are you here?”
Xia Yuanba's huge body stopped in front of Xia Qingyue, his face full of excitement. Xia Qingyue had been staying at home before, and this was the first time Xia Yuanba had been separated from Xia Qingyue for such a long time, so he couldn't help but miss her. Now that they finally met, he was of course overjoyed: "Sister, my brother-in-law and I are no longer in Floating Cloud City. We first came to New Moon City, and then went to Blue Wind Xuanfu together eight months ago. I came to participate in the ranking battle with my brother-in-law this time, and I knew I would meet you. Sister, you have become so powerful now. I watched every game you played today. If Dad knew that you have become so powerful now, he would definitely be very happy... Sister, are you doing well over there? Is anyone bullying you? When will you come home..."
Xia Yuanba was so excited that he spoke a lot to Xia Qingyue. The "brother-in-law" he mentioned made Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin beside Xia Qingyue look at him sideways at the same time, revealing strange expressions.
“…” Xia Qingyue’s eyes fluttered, and she looked at Yun Che who was right in front of her: “Yuan Ba, could it be that he… is…”
“Eh?” Xia Yuanba glanced at Yun Che, then at Xia Qingyue, rubbed his head, and said with wide eyes, “He’s my brother-in-law. I haven’t seen him for only a year and a half, and you can’t recognize him? That’s weird, my brother-in-law hasn’t changed much in the past two years.”
Xia Qingyue: “…”
Chu Yueli also heard Xia Yuanba’s words clearly. She turned her eyes and looked at Yun Che with a little surprise: “Are you the Xiao Che who married Qingyue in Liuyun City?”
“Ah?” Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin exclaimed uncontrollably at the same time, staring at Yun Che with their beautiful eyes wide open.
Only Chu Yuechan, although she also stopped, her eyes were cold and she did not look away, as if she was independent of this world.
Yun Che, the dark horse, attracted the attention of the entire audience today, including the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace. But for Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli, although Yun Che looked almost exactly like the Xiao Che they knew, they never thought that Yun Che was Xiao Che, because the difference between the two was too huge, so huge that they could be said to be in two completely different worlds that could never intersect. They all firmly believed that this Yun Che was just extremely similar to Xiao Che.
Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin had never thought that the man they had been discussing for a long time was actually the husband Xia Qingyue married. But wasn't it said that the man she married had a crippled profound vein and would be a useless person for the rest of his life? How could it be...
Yun Che took a step forward and said respectfully: “I am Yun Che, a disciple of Blue Wind Profound Palace. I am honored to meet the fairies of Ice Cloud Immortal Palace. When I was in Floating Cloud City, my name was indeed Xiao Che, but now, my surname is Yun and my given name is Che.” He turned his gaze to Xia Qingyue and smiled slightly: “Qingyue, long time no see.”
Xia Qingyue nodded slightly in response, her gesture gentle and graceful.
After receiving a positive answer from Yun Che, Chu Yueli's eyes were shaken and filled with shock.
When Xiao Che was kicked out of the Xiao Clan, she witnessed the entire process from above. At that time, Xiao Che still had a disabled Xuanmai, and it was the kind of disability that lasted from childhood to adulthood, deep-rooted and impossible to repair... And, even if he had a great adventure the next day and his Xuanmai was restored, it was only eighteen months. The restored Xuanmai must be trained from scratch, which means that it only took Yun Che eighteen months to go from zero to the current True Profound Realm Tenth Level! !
This is a fact that even she, one of the "Seven Fairies of Ice Cloud", finds difficult to fully believe and accept.
