The central square of the outer palace of Cangfeng Xuanfu covers a large area. Usually, a large number of outer palace disciples will come here to compete with each other, and it will attract more onlookers. Various outer palace Xuanli competitions will also be held in this square.
Today, the entire square is dozens of times more lively than usual. The area around the central platform is densely packed with people. More than 80% of the more than 50,000 outer palace disciples have gathered here, surrounding the central area. They are looking forward to the platform, waiting for the arrival of today's protagonist.
Today is the day for Yun Che and Murong Yi to fight.
But the protagonist in the hearts of these outer court disciples was definitely not Yun Che, but Murong Yi. Most of these outer court disciples came here to see the demeanor of the inner court disciples. As for Yun Che, he had been a laughing stock in the outer court disciples' oral traditions for the past three months.
Originally, a disciple who had just entered the mansion and challenged the inner mansion disciples without knowing his own limitations was not worthy of attracting so much attention. The key point was that this challenge actually alarmed the deputy mansion lord Qin Wushang, and Qin Wushang personally became a witness to this challenge. As a result, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the entire Xuan Mansion.
The scheduled time was getting closer and closer, with less than a quarter of an hour left, but Yun Che and Murong Yi had not shown up. At this time, there was a commotion in the east of the square, and shouts were heard.
"Look! It's Palace Master Qin! Palace Master Qin is here!"
The crowd parted, and a group of people walked slowly. The middle-aged man in the lead was dressed in a purple robe, with a kind face and an awe-inspiring aura in his every move. He was the deputy master of Cangfeng Xuanfu, Qin Wushang. Beside him was the smiling Qin Wuyou, followed by several elders and mentors from the outer palace.
Qin Wushang and the others sat down in a pavilion not far from the platform, looking calmly at the empty platform. The surrounding disciples stepped back subconsciously, looking at the pavilion with admiration.
"Palace Master Qin is really here!"
"Nonsense, Palace Master Qin is such a person, of course his words are law."
“But why would Palace Master Qin agree to personally witness such a battle? The gap between Yun Che and Senior Brother Murong is a whole realm apart. Even after three months, this gap is unlikely to be narrowed much. It may even be further away. Even a fool can predict the outcome of the battle…”
"Of course, we cannot figure out what Palace Master Qin is thinking. Maybe Palace Master Qin is just acting on impulse..."
A long time had passed since Qin Wushang arrived, but Murong Yi and Yun Che still hadn't shown up. There were only a few minutes left before the scheduled battle, and the discussions in the square were getting louder and louder. At this time, a large number of exclamations came from the north of the square.
"Murong Yi! Murong Yi is here!"
Under the excited gazes of countless disciples, Murong Yi finally appeared. Beside him, followed a man dressed in white. The man had a handsome face with a hint of femininity, his eyes were half-closed, and his gaze was distracted and cold.
"Look at the person next to Murong Yi! That's Feng Baiyi, who is ranked 36th on the Tianxuan Ranking!"
"Wow! Thirty-six?" The exclamations of the outer palace disciples suddenly became louder.
The arrival of Murong Yi and Feng Baiyi caused a complete commotion among the outer court disciples who filled the square. Most of them came to squeeze into the crowd just to see the legendary inner court disciples with their own eyes. They all stood on tiptoe with burning eyes.
“Cousin, I must teach Yun Che a lesson this time. It would be best if I could beat him to a cripple! I’ve already endured that anger for three whole months!”
Murong Ye squeezed in the crowd for a long time before rushing to Murong Yi's side and said with gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, he's just a little rat who doesn't know his place. I'll make him round or flatten him. If you want to vent your anger yourself, humph," Murong Yi sneered disdainfully, "After I step on him, I'll hand him over to you for disposal... On the contrary, he also said before that if he loses, he'll let me deal with him."
"Hehe," Murong Ye rubbed his hands, with an impatient expression on his face: "Cousin, then I'll wait for you to beat him to death. In the next three days, you can go anywhere you want to play, cousin, just tell me."
"It's just stepping on a grasshopper that's looking for death. Is it necessary to take it so seriously?" Feng Baiyi yawned and said lazily and boredly.
Murong Yi glanced at the platform and snorted coldly, "Hasn't Yun Che arrived yet?"
"Not yet." Murong Ye said quickly, and then sneered: "I guess he doesn't dare to come at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd in the distance suddenly started to make a noise. Feng Baiyi narrowed his eyes and laughed sarcastically: "Oh, they're here."
Yun Che, wearing a white training suit, arrived almost at the same time as Murong Yi. However, the crowd was noisy and he walked in very low-key. In addition, not many people had seen him before, so he was not recognized in the crowd for a long time. It was not until he finally squeezed into the central area and walked up to the high platform slowly that people's eyes shifted to him.
Yun Che stood on the high platform and glanced down. He saw Qin Wushang and Qin Wuyou in the pavilion not far away. After his gaze paused for a moment, it fell on an inconspicuous corner behind the crowd. Lan Xueruo was standing there quietly, looking at this place with concern and nervousness. When she met his gaze, Lan Xueruo smiled slightly at first, then couldn't help but think of the previous scene. Her cheeks turned red and she quietly lowered her head... Until now, her brain was still in a daze. She didn't even understand why she didn't feel the slightest rejection in her heart after being treated and violated by him suddenly like that...
“Hmm? True Profound Realm Level Two?” Murong Yi glanced at Yun Che on the stage and saw at a glance his current level of profound strength.
“What…what? Level 2 of True Profound Realm? Impossible! Three months ago, he was only in the Nascent Profound Realm!” Murong Ye said with his eyes wide open.
Feng Baiyi said with a smile. "Tsk, a slightly fatter grasshopper is still a grasshopper. If Brother Murong wants to crush him to death, a little finger is enough. But if I were Brother Murong, tsk tsk, before crushing him to death, I would have a lot of fun. You know, there are not many grasshoppers in this world who are stupid enough to torture themselves."
“I will make him remember this day forever.” Murong Yi snorted coldly, and suddenly stepped on a point. His body flew into the air like a giant bird, leaping across a distance of several dozen feet. He landed steadily on the high platform and stood in front of Yun Che.
"Wow!!"
Murong Yi's leap into the air this time immediately caused exclamations from the whole audience. Most of the outer court disciples opened their mouths wide, looking at Murong Yi with admiration and envy, fantasizing that they would be able to reach such a realm one day.
"As expected of a disciple of the inner court, he has leaped nearly thirty feet across the air! Sigh, I guess there is no hope for me before I turn twenty."
“The one in white is Yun Che? Tsk tsk, he looks so delicate and tender, how can he be a Mystic Master? He is just a pretty boy. How dare such a person challenge Murong Yi? I can knock him down with one punch.”
Murong Yi and Yun Che stood opposite each other on the stage. Murong Yi was tall, with dark skin, and his exposed muscles bulged out, showing explosive power. On the other hand, Yun Che had a slim figure and smooth skin, and he didn't look aggressive at all. To call him a pretty boy was an understatement, he was simply half a woman.
“How many moves do you think Murong Yi needs to defeat Yun Che? I guess three moves will be enough.”
"What? Three moves? You are simply insulting the inner court disciples! If Murong Yi was more serious, one move... one move would be enough!"
In the pavilion not far from the high platform, Qin Wushang had a smile on his face, and seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming fight. He glanced at Qin Wuyou beside him and said, "He has improved two levels in three months, not bad. But Murong Yi is at the ninth level of True Profound Realm, and after three months, his profound strength has also increased significantly, and he is not far from reaching the tenth level. Wuyou, do you think Yun Che has a chance to defeat Murong Yi?"
"This..." Qin Wuyou hesitated for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I think it is impossible. After all, there is a gap of seven levels. Although he severely injured his opponent at the tenth level of the Ruoxuan Realm with the profound power of the first level of the Ruoxuan Realm, the gap between each level of the True Profound Realm is simply not comparable to that of the Ruoxuan Realm."
"Humph, this kid is simply arrogant and overestimating his own abilities." Teacher Qi at the back sneered.
Qin Wushang smiled faintly and said, "I think Yun Che might win."
Qin Wuyou immediately looked sideways and said in surprise, “Brother, you never say anything you are not sure about, so why do you think highly of Yun Che? Although Yun Che is incredibly talented and can fight against opponents of higher levels, the gap of seven levels in the True Profound Realm is simply impossible to overcome, and I have never heard of anyone having overcome it.”
Qin Wuyou stared at Yun Che and said slowly, “Murong Yi’s profound strength has greatly improved in the past three months. I can clearly sense all his progress. However, Yun Che’s improvement is not only in profound strength. Except for his appearance, which makes me feel the same as three months ago, everything else is completely different from three months ago. It’s like he has changed from head to toe. Moreover, there is a kind of aura on him that I can’t see through. This unpredictable feeling makes me also unpredictable about the next result.”
Qin Wuyou: "..."
"Wuyou, the time has come. You go and preside over this battle... But no matter what the result is, I hope you can be completely fair under the watchful eyes of the public. Other matters can be dealt with later." Qin Wushang said meaningfully.
Qin Wuyou nodded, flew up, and landed on the edge of the platform. As soon as he appeared, the whole square suddenly became quiet, and all the disciples who were watching held their breath, waiting for the next scene.
"It's almost time, you two can start." Qin Wuyou said calmly and majestically: "But remember, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death battle. You must not harm the other party's life, otherwise you will be severely punished. Okay, let's start!"
After Qin Wuyou's voice fell, Murong Yi still had a nonchalant expression on his face. Facing a person who was only at the second level of the True Profound Realm, there was really no need for him to be serious. He stared at Yun Che and said with great disdain: "Yun Che, have you thought about how to die?"
“I should be the one asking you this.” Yun Che responded with a disdainful sneer: “Show me your weapon.”
"Weapons?" Murong Yi laughed: "Do I need to use weapons to deal with you?"
“Really?” Yun Che raised the corner of his mouth and moved his wrist slowly: “If that’s the case, there’s no need for me to use my weapon. I hope you can still smile after a while.”
Murong Yi and Yun Che exchanged a few words, and the audience booed.
“Fuck! I really can’t listen to this anymore! Does Yun Che know who he is? Does he know who is standing in front of him?”
“I heard before that Yun Che had a problem with his brain, but I didn’t quite believe it. Now I completely believe it. A True Profound Level 9 player needs weapons to fight a True Profound Level 2 player? This guy is still so arrogant. How could such a fool exist in our dignified Blue Wind Profound Palace?”
“This Yun Che, why doesn’t he take a piss and reflect on his own moral character? A True Profound Level 2 is so arrogant in front of Senior Brother Murong? Pah! Senior Brother Murong, get him off the stage right away!”
