Qin Wushang was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He hurried forward to check on Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong's injuries. The result left him speechless... The shoulder bones of both of them were shattered and all the meridians in their shoulders were broken. In this state, let alone participating in the ranking battle, they must rest quietly for at least one or two months and cannot use their profound energy recklessly.
Qin Wushang was secretly surprised. Yun Che's attack just now was clearly very casual. Not to mention his full strength, it was estimated that he didn't even use half of his strength, but he injured these two Lingxuan Realm disciples who dominated the top three of the Tianxuan Ranking of the Inner Court. He could use the profound strength of the True Profound Realm to produce such an astonishing power... It was simply unbelievable.
After seeing the injuries of the two, Qin Wushang sighed and said with concern: "The shoulder bone is severely broken... Alas, I'm afraid you can't participate in this ranking battle. Hurry to the medicine house."
Qin Wushang's words made the two people's faces change... The Blue Wind Ranked Tournament is the most grand and most watched event in the Blue Wind Empire. Especially for the younger generation, being able to personally attend the Ranked Tournament is a lifelong dream. Because there are a group of young people who are at the top of the peak. In the future, they will all be the overlords of the future profound power world of the Blue Wind Empire. The masters and elders of the top sects, who are only famous in daily life and difficult to meet, will also appear in that arena.
For many young mystics, whether or not they could get a good ranking in the ranking battle was not important. Just being able to personally attend a competition was an inestimable wealth of life.
Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong were both nearly 21 years old. This was their only chance to participate in the Cangfeng ranking tournament. They were so excited that they hadn’t slept all night and had been waiting here early in the morning to prepare for departure. Unexpectedly, Yun Che came and shattered their beautiful dreams in an instant.
"Master Qin, my injury... is not serious. I can continue to participate in the ranking battle." Feng Bufan stood up, endured the severe pain in his shoulder, and tried to pretend to be calm.
"Don't hold on." Qin Wushang waved his hand, "Your shoulder is temporarily disabled now. If our Cangfeng Xuanfu takes a disabled person to participate in the ranking battle, wouldn't it be laughed at?"
“Palace Master Qin!” Fang Feilong gritted his teeth and pointed at Yun Che: “This Yun Che… not only did he sneak attack us, he also attacked us with malicious intent! We are disciples participating in the war on behalf of the royal family. It is simply unforgivable that he severely injured us like this! He crippled one arm of each of us. As a punishment, Palace Master Qin, you must at least cripple both of his arms and then drive him out of Cangfeng Xuanfu!”
"Enough!" Qin Wushang frowned and shouted coldly: "Whether it was a sneak attack or not, you know it in your heart. If you are not as skilled as others, you should admit defeat. When you spar with others, don't you use malicious force enough? If you were punished as you said, you two would have been crippled without a single bone left. It is a pity that you can't participate in the ranking battle, but there is nothing you can do. What are you still doing here? If you don't go to the Medicine House, your arms may be crippled forever."
Qin Wushang was obviously favoring Yun Che. It was no wonder. Whether it was the relationship between Yun Che and Princess Cang Yue or the amazing strength Yun Che had shown, Qin Wushang had no reason not to favor him. Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong both gave Yun Che a vicious look at the same time, muttered a few words, then covered their shoulders and stumbled away.
“Palace Master Qin, can I participate in this ranking battle on behalf of the royal family?” Yun Che asked calmly after Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong left, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him.
Qin Wushang smiled bitterly: "You've hurt them both so badly, do I have any other choice?"
Cang Yue stood in front of Yun Che, with a smile on her face full of joy: "Palace Master Qin, you can see that Junior Brother Yun is much stronger than the two of them. The power ranking in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament is determined by the highest ranking obtained by the disciples, not the average ranking. Junior Brother Yun is participating, and he is a hundred times better than the two of them combined!"
At this moment, an anxious shout suddenly came from the entrance of the inner palace.
"Let me in... I'm going in to find someone... Please let me in, I promise to come out right after I see that person... Elder, please let me in..."
This voice made Yun Che and Cang Yue both startled. Yun Che immediately turned his head and looked towards the inner palace gate: “This is Yuan Ba’s voice.”
Cang Yue hurriedly said, "Palace Master Qin, let him in quickly. He must have heard that Junior Brother Yun is back, so he ran over excitedly."
Qin Wushang nodded and released a powerful and penetrating voice: "Elder Xu, let him in."
The sealing formation at the entrance to the inner palace disappeared, and a tall and sturdy figure rushed over. After approaching, he saw Yun Che at a glance.
“Brother-in-law!!”
Xia Yuanba shouted excitedly, then ignored Cang Yue and Qin Wushang’s presence, rushed over with tears in his eyes, hugged Yun Che and cried like a child: “They all said...you were dead...I knew my brother-in-law must be fine...That’s great, that’s great...Wuwuwu...Wuwuwuwuwu…”
After not seeing each other for a long time, Xia Yuanba, who was already strong and sturdy, looked even taller and stronger. Yun Che patted Xia Yuanba on the shoulder and consoled him with a smile, “Okay, I’m fine. I’m your brother-in-law and I’m blessed with a good life. It’s not that easy for me to lose my life.”
A giant's body and a childlike heart, these two contrasting elements were combined in Xia Yuanba. Others might find it very awkward, but to Yun Che, this was the Xia Yuanba he was most familiar with, the most genuine and pure.
Yun Che took a long time to finally calm Xia Yuanba down. To Xia Yuanba, Yun Che was his only playmate, best friend, and brother-in-law since childhood. After staying together in Cangfeng Xuanfu, Yun Che's performance made him feel more and more admiring. In his heart, Yun Che was an important person like a family member. A few months ago, the news that Yun Che was buried in the Death Wasteland almost made him collapse.
Yun Che accidentally sensed the aura of profound strength on Xia Yuanba's body, and was surprised to find that his current profound strength level was only the seventh level of the Elementary Profound Realm! When they first came to the Blue Wind Profound Palace, Xia Yuanba's profound strength was the sixth level of the Elementary Profound Realm. In a full eight months, he only advanced one level in the most basic realm of the Elementary Profound Realm.
If this was in Floating Cloud City, it would be barely acceptable. But this is Blue Wind Profound Palace, with conditions and atmosphere that are many times better, elixir supplies, a variety of profound skills, many experienced mentors and a mature profound cultivation system. In this environment, this speed of progress is really out of place.
“Junior Brother Yun, I don’t know how the news of your accident got out. When Yuanba found out, he burst into tears… At least for Yuanba’s sake, don’t go to such a dangerous place again.” Cang Yue said softly. Thinking of the notoriety of the Death Wasteland, even though Yun Che was standing in front of him intact, she still felt a little scared.
“Yes, yes. I will listen carefully to Senior Sister’s instructions.” Yun Che agreed immediately.
Under their curious questioning, Yun Che briefly told the three about his experience in the Death Wasteland... Of course, he did not mention the little fairy, and he only said that he had encountered an adventure when he encountered the Dragon God Trial. Unknowingly, a quarter of an hour passed, and Fen Juechen still did not appear.
"Strange... Logically speaking, Fen Juechen practiced very hard just to avenge his defeat against Fen Juebi in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, so why would he be late on purpose... Could it be that he forgot the time while practicing in the Juxuan Tower?"
The more Qin Wushang thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He turned his gaze towards the direction of the Juxuan Tower and said to Xia Yuanba, "Yuanba, go to the No. 1 Xuan Room of the Juxuan Tower to see if Fen Juechen is inside. The No. 1 Xuan Room is on the right hand side of the second floor of the Juxuan Tower."
"Juxuan Tower... I... I'll go?" Xia Yuanba pointed at himself, first surprised, then excited. After all, Juxuan Tower is a place that only inner court disciples are qualified to enter. It is said that practicing in it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The outer court and middle court disciples can only watch and dare not hope. And Fen Juechen is the number one in the inner court Tianxuan list and even the entire Cangfeng Xuan court. However, all the disciples outside the inner court have only heard of him but never seen him. They are full of curiosity and yearning for him, but have never seen him.
“Well, Yuanba, go ahead. The aura of the Juxuan Pagoda is very special. Maybe you can gain some benefits from it.” Yun Che then said, “But if Fen Juechen is really in there, you should be careful when you come into contact with him. This person probably has a bad temper.”
"Okay, I understand." Xia Yuanba ran towards the tall tower that he could only admire from afar before, with an excited look on his face.
Qin Wushang was not wrong. Fen Juechen had indeed forgotten the time while doing the final training before the ranking battle. Not long after, Xia Yuanba came back, but not alone. A young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in black, with a face as hard as a knife, walked in front of Xia Yuanba. His eyes were as calm as a pool of dead water, without any ripples. His steps were even and slow, and his whole body was filled with a pride that had penetrated deep into his bones.
Burning the dust!
Fen Juechen approached, his eyes lingering on Qin Wuyou, Cangyue, and Yun Che for just a moment, and then he didn't even glance at them again. He went straight to the largest of the three giant snow sculptures and said coldly, "Let's go!"
He made Qin Wushang, the deputy palace master, and Princess Cangyue, the princess, wait for him for so long, but he didn't even say a word of apology or explanation. He was not polite to them at all, and the word "go" was even more of an order. It was as if he was the greatest in the world. Except for himself, nothing else mattered to him.
Yun Che glanced at Fen Juechen, then looked at Xia Yuanba. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly frowned, because Xia Yuanba's walking posture was very unnatural, and his right leg kept bouncing, as if he had suffered some kind of injury. When he walked, the amplitude of his right arm swinging was also very abnormal... Xia Yuanba was already trying very hard to pretend that nothing had happened, but how could he hide it from Yun Che's eyes.
Yun Che quickly stepped forward, supported Xia Yuanba and said, “Yuanba, what’s wrong with you? Are you injured somewhere?”
“No…no.” Yun Che’s question immediately caused Xia Yuanba to panic. He quickly denied, “I just…I just accidentally fell when I was going down the stairs of the Juxuan Pagoda.”
“With your physique, even if you fell down the stairs ten times, you wouldn’t be like this. What happened? Did some inner court disciple hurt you maliciously?” Yun Che’s eyebrows slanted into two sharp swords: “Tell me the truth! With me here… no one can bully you! No matter who it is, I will make him pay the price.”
“Really… Really nothing.” Xia Yuanba continued to deny it, and at this moment, a voice with deep disdain came coldly: “This loser who is only in the Elementary Profound Realm actually dared to walk in front of me, so I taught him a lesson… What price are you going to make me pay?”
Yun Che turned around and his eyes fell on Fen Juechen. As his eyes slowly narrowed, the light in his eyes became icy cold.
"You hurt Yuanba? Very good... apologize to Yuanba immediately and then slap yourself three times. Otherwise, I will make sure you never even think about participating in the ranking battle in your life!"
