Mu Mengyi soared down from Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2,
her expression filled with curiosity.
The senior brother and the disciples from the four lineages were aware of the situation.
At this moment, those who were clueless were still guessing who Tan Yun's master was.
“Whoosh!”
Mu Mengyi soared down from Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2,
her expression filled with curiosity.
She had always been interested in Tan Yun, as he possessed supreme talent, and his mysterious master only added to her intrigue.
“Do you think Tan Yun's master is someone from the eternal immortal sect?”
asked a junior disciple from the Wind Thunder Lineage.
“No way! If that were the case, Tan Yun would have revealed it already. His master is definitely an extraordinary figure,” another disciple replied.
As the discussions continued,
the atmosphere grew tense with speculation.
The senior brother, who was quietly listening, couldn't help but smile at the chaos.
“Let them guess. The truth will reveal itself at the grand competition,” he thought.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the arena,
Tan Yun remained calm and composed,
waiting for the right moment to showcase his skills.
He had confidence in his abilities and was determined to prove himself.
With the upcoming competition,
everyone would soon recognize the power of the Five Soul Extinguishing Immortal Sword Technique he inherited from his master.
The anticipation in the air was palpable,
and Tan Yun felt a surge of excitement.
He was ready to face any challenge that came his way,
for he knew that each battle would bring him one step closer to unveiling the truth behind his master's identity.
As the sun began to set,
casting a golden hue over the competition grounds,
Tan Yun took a deep breath,
preparing himself for the trials ahead.
The whispers and rumors around him faded into the background,
as his focus sharpened on the task at hand.
He was no longer just a student;
he was a warrior, ready to carve his name into the annals of history.
On the Jade Tower, the Martial Soul Daoist stood up, and an elderly voice rang out, “Next, it will be my disciple Xue Ziyan from the Five Soul Lineage who will battle.”
“Ziyan, do not disappoint your master, do you understand?”
“I understand, Master.” Xue Ziyan’s beautiful figure flashed and disappeared from Crouching Dragon Platform No. 1, reappearing on Crouching Dragon Platform No. 2 in the blink of an eye.
After she removed the ban on the identity token in her hand, she saw the words “Five Soul Lineage Cheng Jinyue” written on it.
The Martial Soul Daoist was taken aback; the worst possible scenario had indeed occurred. Cheng Jinyue was his direct disciple, while Xue Ziyan was a closed-door disciple.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind blew past, and Cheng Jinyue flew down in front of Xue Ziyan, smiling broadly. “Junior Sister, I didn’t expect to run into you.”
“Is it that funny?” Xue Ziyan rolled her eyes at Cheng Jinyue. “You should concede; with only you as a senior brother, I really don’t want to fight you.”
“Uh…” Cheng Jinyue was stunned.
“Ahem.” The Martial Soul Daoist cleared his throat. “Ziyan, you are not a match for your senior brother. Withdraw and let him represent our Five Soul Lineage in the second round.”
The techniques taught to the two were identical, being the most powerful treasure-level technique of the Five Soul Lineage—the Five Soul Extinguishing Immortal Sword Technique.
This Sword Technique was divided into twelve layers; Xue Ziyan had only cultivated up to the tenth layer, while Cheng Jinyue had already reached the eleventh layer. Therefore, he naturally requested Xue Ziyan to withdraw.
Hearing this, Xue Ziyan pouted, wanting to say something, but Cheng Jinyue awkwardly smiled, “Junior Sister, I graciously accept your concession.”
“Hmph, I haven’t agreed yet.” Xue Ziyan glared at Cheng Jinyue, then looked at the Martial Soul Daoist, squinting her eyes into a line, and said sweetly, “Master, I want to give it a try, please?”
