Huo Rulie strode forward, laughing loudly, "What Yun said is right! Yun'er, don't be discouraged. The reason why Jun Xilei can beat you is definitely not because the Golden Crow Flame is inferior to the sword. Apart from other factors, the girl's 'Mist Light' sword is extremely strong! Although the Flame God Demon Breaking Sword is strong, it is really not as good as the 'Mist Light'. If you can get the 'Golden Crow Holy Sword', I guarantee that you can beat that girl... eh?"
When Huo Rulie was speaking, Yun Che winked at him in a panic. If depression could be relieved so easily, it wouldn't be depression. Moreover, what Huo Poyun had lost was the belief that had supported him for his entire life. Although it was somewhat relieved by his advice, it was absolutely impossible to be relieved so easily. Instead, it would take a long time, and it was best not to rush.
Unless there is the same or stronger reverse stimulus.
Under Yun Che's gaze, Huo Rulie shut up obediently.
But... what is the "Golden Crow Holy Sword" that Huo Rulie mentioned? From what he said, it's better than Jun Xilei's "Mist Light"?
“Master, in order to help your disciple reach the divine realm, you did not hesitate to sacrifice a great deal of your talent and profound strength, but your disciple…has brought shame upon you.” Huo Poyun said with guilt.
"You are the greatest pride of my life. You were so in the past, and you are even more so now." Huo Rulie looked at his beloved disciple and said with great determination.
“Brother Poyun, what is the ‘Golden Crow Sacred Sword’ that Sect Master Huo mentioned just now? It sounds like it must be an extraordinary existence.” Yun Che suddenly asked, intending to distract Huo Poyun.
Huo Poyun raised his head, eyes full of yearning: "When the Golden Crow God was alive, he once said that there was a 'Golden Crow Holy Sword' in the Burial God Inferno Prison that had survived from the Age of Gods. Although the power of the Golden Crow Holy Sword has been weakening with the disappearance of the Primordial Aura, it is still the supreme weapon in today's Primordial Chaos. However, no one in the Flame God Realm has ever been able to touch it."
"The Golden Crow Sacred Sword is also one of my greatest pursuits in this life. If I can achieve my wish before I die, I will die without regrets."
“If it’s what Brother Po Yun said, then it’s definitely not hopeless.” Yun Che said with a smile.
When Yun Che returned to his residence, Mu Bingyun and the others had just returned.
“Is today’s match finished?” Yun Che’s brows twitched: “Palace Master Bingyun, who will be my opponent tomorrow?”
Tomorrow, there will only be the loser group matches, the fourth round of the loser group!
The winner will go straight to the quarterfinals!
“Huo Poyun.” Mu Bingyun said slowly.
“Huh!?” Yun Che was stunned.
After today's battle, there are eight people left in the loser group.
Among these eight people, the ones he least wanted to meet were Huo Poyun and Lu Lengchuan.
But the result is just one of them.
“In terms of Xuanli cultivation, Huo Poyun is not as good as Wu Guike. And the Golden Crow Flame, which he is best at, should pose little threat to you. So, even if his overall strength is worse than Wu Guike, it will be easier for you to defeat him.” Mu Bingyun said.
“This is not a question of whether or not we can defeat him.” Yun Che said, “Huo Poyun has been proud of his Golden Crow Flame Power all his life, but today he was defeated by Jun Xilei’s sword, and he was hit hard. He has even begun to waver as to whether the Golden Crow Flame Power is really as strong as he always thought. It will be difficult for him to let go in a short period of time. Therefore, he is likely to give up the battle tomorrow… especially after knowing that his opponent is me.”
Mu Bingyun's eyebrows moved slightly: "Huo Poyun is too young after all, and he probably hasn't suffered such a heavy blow before. It's not surprising that he would have such a reaction... Jun Xilei might have done it on purpose."
Yun Che frowned, thinking about something.
"Are you going to talk to Huo Poyun?" Mu Bingyun asked.
After a brief hesitation, Yun Che shook his head and said, “No, let Brother Poyun make his own choice. If he chooses to fight me, that will be the best outcome. I will defeat him openly and without hesitation!”
“If he chooses to abandon the battle…” Yun Che paused and said, “It means that the blow he suffered is far greater than I imagined. After all, not only does he have an extremely high dignity in the Xuan Dao, but he is the only one who knows how strong his original belief in the ‘Golden Crow Flame Power’ is.”
“He has his own choice. Yun Che, now is not the time for you to be distracted.” Mu Bingyun’s gaze towards Yun Che was still gentle, but it lacked some of the calmness of the past and had a complexity that could not be relieved. “Although I don’t know what you are thinking right now, your performance today is completely shocking. There will be countless people who want to know everything about you. You… must be more careful than ever!”
“I know.” Yun Che nodded.
A quiet night.
The next day at the Conferred God Arena, the fourth round of the loser group battle began fiercely.
Yun Che arrived early, but sat at the adjacent table. Huo Poyun did not show up until the first battle began.
Yun Che did not ask the Flame God Realm, but waited quietly.
In the first match, Lu Lengchuan easily defeated his opponent and advanced to the quarterfinals.
In the second and third rounds, Meng Duanxi and Chao Feng, who had just been knocked down from the Conferred Gods Group, also demonstrated their outstanding strength, defeated their opponents, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
The fourth game...
"The fourth match of the fourth round of the loser bracket, Flame God Realm Huo Poyun versus Snow Song Realm Yun Che!"
In just a moment, the entire place fell silent. All eyes were drawn to Yun Che as if by a magnet.
At the East Seat, the gazes of the major God Emperors turned at the same time, and Cang Shitian, who had been dozing off, straightened up like a spring.
Even Luo Changsheng definitely didn't receive such treatment.
Yun Che stood up and sighed.
Because Huo Poyun still did not appear, and there was no trace of him around.
Yun Che flew up and landed on the Conferred God Stage. After a long while, everyone realized that Yun Che’s opponent did not appear on the seat of the Flame God Realm.
At this time, Yan Juehai stood up and said in a calm voice: "Venerable Quhui, Yanshen's disciple Huo Poyun used up his Time Wheel Beads too early, and was seriously injured yesterday and has not recovered yet, so he cannot participate in the battle. Yan will replace his disciple Huo Poyun and give up the battle."
Yun Che: “…”
There was a burst of booing from the audience.
The eyes of the Venerable Qu Hui were fixed, and he said in a strong voice: "In the Conferred God War, no one can make any decision on behalf of the Son of Conferred God!"
"Flame God Realm Fire Breaks the Clouds, hurry to the Conferred God Platform within fifteen breaths, otherwise it will be considered as abandoning the battle!"
The voice of Venerable Quhui shook the whole area, but... five breaths... ten breaths... time passed quickly, and finally, after fifteen breaths, Huo Poyun still did not appear.
"Huo Poyun has not reached the Conferred God Stage, so he is considered to have given up the battle and will not be allowed to attend the Mysterious God Conference!"
"Yun Che wins and enters the fifth round of the loser group tomorrow!"
The spectators had different expressions, and were talking a lot, some sighing, and some looking puzzled.
Huo Poyun was defeated by Jun Xilei with one sword, but that was because he was facing Jun Xilei, not because Huo Poyun was too weak. On the contrary, he had received countless praises and recognitions in this Xuanshen Conference. Even a large number of people and Mu Bingyun believed that Huo Poyun's overall strength was even higher than Wu Guike's.
Everyone had high expectations for his battle with Yun Che.
Unexpectedly, Huo Poyun was defeated in one battle. As for Yan Juehai's claim that he had used up the Time Wheel Pearl early and had no time to heal his injuries, no one believed it.
It is undoubtedly regrettable that such a highly anticipated dark horse ended his Xuanshen Conference in such a situation.
After returning to the spectator seats, Yun Che finally asked, “Sect Master Huo, Brother Po Yun…”
Yan Juehai shook his head and said only one sentence: "It's not your fault."
“It seems that yesterday’s persuasion only had a temporary effect.” Yun Che muttered in his heart: “Alas, speaking of which, Huo Poyun’s life has been too smooth, and this heavy setback is so terrible. Jun Xilei, that little bitch, is too cruel!”
Hmm? Speaking of which, Jun Xilei is not much better than Huo Poyun. It has been so long since the incident happened, but every time he sees me, his murderous anger and resentment only increase, and he wishes he could eat me alive.
These spoiled youngsters, ah... Yun Che sighed and shook his head.
And this result also means that Yun Che entered the quarterfinals without a fight.
Cheating in the pre-selection and giving up in the first round, Yun Che was the biggest joke of this Profound God Conference. If it weren’t for the God Emperor Shi Tian who went crazy and messed things up, Yun Che would have been kicked out of the Eternal Heaven Realm long ago.
What Emperor Shi Tian did at the beginning was to disgust the Eastern Divine Region and to laugh at the Eastern Divine Region. But he didn't expect that Yun Che would shock them time and time again, and from being the biggest joke, he became the biggest focus, and even today, he broke into the quarterfinals.
This is absolutely the most bizarre plot in the history of the Battle of the Gods.
The top eight in the Conferred Gods War, what does this mean? It means that among the young profound practitioners who are as numerous as stars in the entire Eastern Divine Region, they are ranked in the top eight!
Yun Che was born in the Snow Song Realm, and was the only one among the Sons of the Gods who entered the quarterfinals who was born in a middle-level star realm.
A young profound practitioner from a middle-level star realm had crushed countless young prodigies from upper-level star realms. Without a doubt, with Yun Che's super upset, his fame had shocked the Eastern Divine Region, and the Snow Song Realm's reputation had reached an unprecedented peak. At least during this Conferred God War, the Snow Song Realm's reputation had even surpassed that of a number of upper-level star realms.
The distant Snow Song Realm had been celebrating these past few days. That was the Conferred God Battle, a realm that the Snow Song Realm had never dreamed of touching, while the Holy Eaves Realm and the Divine Martial Realm were transcendental existences that they could only look up to. Not only had Yun Che ascended the Conferred God Stage, he also defeated the son of the Holy Eaves Realm King and swept through the sons of the Divine Martial Realm King. Now he had made it straight into the quarterfinals. This was such a huge surprise and honor that it undoubtedly made them feel like they were in a dream.
In the spectator seats, everyone in the Snow Song Realm had flushed red in the face, and they were all so excited that they were at a loss. Luo Changsheng, Jun Xilei, Shui Yingyue... those who entered the quarterfinals were all a group of monsters who had long been famous throughout the world, and Yun Che, a disciple of their Snow Song Realm, was among them!
However, Yun Che himself did not show any joy at all, because his goal was far from being in the top eight.
Mu Bingyun also looked at the sky above the Conferred God Stage with cold eyes, and whispered to Yun Che: “Except for you, the other three in the loser group are Lu Lengchuan, Meng Duanxi, and Chao Feng. As long as you are not unlucky enough to encounter Lu Lengchuan, the other two are strong, but with your current strength, you should be able to fight.”
The fourth round of the loser group ended, and the discussions in the spectator seats had just begun to die down when they suddenly caused an uproar several times greater.
On the light screen of the Conferred God Platform, tomorrow's battle list appeared:
The third round of the Conferred Gods Group:
First match: Luo Changsheng from Shengyu Realm vs. Jun Xilei from Yaoxin Sword Pavilion
Second match: Shui Yingyue from Liuguang Realm vs. Shui Meiyin from Liuguang Realm
