"Not bad! In this state, breaking through to the Core Condensation Phase will be much smoother!" Ye Liuyun was also satisfied with his current condition.
His physical body and blood lineage had reached their peak. He didn’t know if there would be any greater changes in the future.
After Ye Liuyun’s bloodline had fully awakened, he retreated from the Xuankong Stone in advance.
He was worried that someone might look for him and expose the secret of the Xuankong Stone.
For the rest of the time, he would absorb some of the power within the Infernal Hell Serpent’s core and slowly begin to train.
Soon, it was time for the Seven Sects Competition. Everyone followed the First Elder to the Excalibur Palace’s martial arena.
The Excalibur Palace was built like swords. The buildings all rose straight from the ground like swords inserted upside down.
The number of disciples they had was similar to that of the Holy Martial Academy.
At this moment, the martial arena was filled with disciples of the Excalibur Palace. They were all dressed in white robes. The entire arena was snow-white, showing off their home-ground advantage.
Ye Liuyun and the others followed the First Elder to the designated area and waited for the start of the competition.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun finally saw the disciples of Green Academy. They were all dressed in green robes and appeared to be refined and graceful. However, from the looks of their realms, they were all in the Holy Realm. The highest had already reached the third level of the Core Condensation Phase.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but be shocked. Green Academy’s strength was indeed the best. Furthermore, they were stronger than in the previous years.
It was the same for the other sects. The disciples participating in the competition were stronger than before, and their realms were much higher.
As for the Palace Master of the Excalibur Palace, he was sitting at the head of the audience stand. What was even more peculiar was that a black-robed man was sitting beside him.
His black robe seemed to be a Life Treasure, which could block the detection of Divine Sense and make it impossible for others to see his appearance and realm.
Ye Liuyun looked at the Palace Master with his Golden Phantom Eyes. He was probably at the Fifth Level of the Astral Realm.
When Ye Liuyun tried to use Golden Phantom Eyes to penetrate the black robe, he didn’t expect it to be blocked. The black-robed man turned to him. Ye Liuyun only felt powerful Divine Soul energy coming at him.
This power of the Divine Soul was even stronger than his own. With his power, he couldn’t stop that person’s attack at all. He still had to rely on the Universal God Token. It emitted a golden light and easily repelled that person’s Divine Soul.
"Oh! This is interesting!" The black-robed man withdrew his gaze and muttered.
The Palace Master did not notice that the man had just looked in the direction of Ye Liuyun. Hearing his voice, he asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing!" The black-robed man said indifferently. Then, he no longer spoke or look at Ye Liuyun. freёweɓnovel.com
"What realm is this person at? Why is his Divine Soul so powerful? Could it be that he’s also a Soul Cultivator?" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
After that, he looked at the competitors from other sects with Golden Phantom Eyes. Almost every sect had opponents he could not deal with.
In Green Academy, there was even a disciple who knew the Phantom Eyes Technique. They looked at each other and immediately noticed the difference between them. Their eyes burned with fighting spirit.
Ye Liuyun immediately looked forward to it. It seemed that he could have a good practice in the Seven Sects Competition.
However, the disciples of the major four sects, the Gorefiend Sect, the Water Moon Sect, the Ancient Demons Sect, and the Sun Academy, all looked at him with hatred and did not hide the killing intent in their eyes.
Seeing this, Mr. Jin proudly said, "Let’s see if you can still be arrogant today. It’d be embarrassing if you can’t even get out of the arena!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t bother to look at him. After sizing up the crowd, he quietly waited for the competition to begin.
An Elder of the Excalibur Palace came out and spoke politely before he got down to business.
"This year’s Seven Sects Competition has the previous rules. In the first round of the free competition, there will be only three people left in each sect. The three people will take part in the final. I wonder which sect is willing to take the lead in the competition?"
As soon as the Elder finished speaking, several disciples immediately jumped into the fighting ring at the same time.
"Only two people can fight in each round. The others need to retreat." The Elder saw that four people had jumped out at once and wanted two to leave.
A Sun Academy disciple spoke first, "I want to challenge Ye Liuyun of Holy Martial Academy. Dear brothers, could you let me go first?"
When the others heard this, they all said, "I also want to challenge Ye Liuyun."
Everyone was confused.
"What’s going on? Who’s Ye Liuyun?"
"The disciples of the four sects all wanted to challenge him? Who is Ye Liuyun? Is he so unlikeable?"
For a moment, everyone began to gossip and looked in the direction of Holy Martial Arts Academy.
"Hahaha!" Mr. Jin burst into wild laughter.
Ye Liuyun looked at the four people in the arena and smiled. For him, the more people he fought with, the better. However, these people were still a little too weak. However, it didn’t matter. The stronger ones would come out after he defeated the small fry.
Hao Chengfeng complained in a low voice, "Liuyun, you have to keep a few for us! Don’t take them all!"
Even the Palace Master looked in the direction of Holy Martial Academy. The beginning of this year’s Seven Sects Competition was a little weird. The disciples of the major four sects were targeting one person at the same time.
In the arena, the Elder had no choice but to say, "Then three of you can go down first!" He shouted in the direction of Holy Martial Academy, "Which one of you is Ye Liuyun? Please come on stage. If you feel that you are no match for him, you can admit defeat after coming up, but you can’t refuse the challenge."
Ye Liuyun slowly stood up. For a moment, he became the focal point of the entire audience.
As he walked toward the ring, he said, "The four of them can come together! There’s no need for the three of them to go down."
"Woah!"
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
"Who is this guy? He’s so arrogant! He wants to fight against four people!"
"Yeah, they are all elite disciples of different sects! This guy is too arrogant!"
"Look at how calm he is. Is he so strong?"
"How did he provoke the other four sects? He doesn’t look like a heinous person!"
Ye Liuyun walked up to the arena calmly. His face was expressionless, and he was calm.
In the arena, the Elder of the Excalibur Palace said, "Only one person can fight. There are no group fights in the Seven Sects Competition."
Ye Liuyun nodded. "Oh, then it’s up to them whoever comes first. They can decide!"
However, the four of them all wanted to be the first to attack. They were afraid that Ye Liuyun would die in someone else’s hands if they weren’t the first.
In the end, the Elder could only let the disciple of the Gorefiend Sect go against Ye Liuyun as he was the first to come on stage. The other three had no choice but to step down from the arena.
However, Ye Liuyun smiled and said to them, "Don’t worry. I won’t let you wait too long. I’ll end the battle in one move!"
"How arrogant!" The three people who stepped down spoke at the same time.
Ye Liuyun smiled faintly and removed the Demon Slayer Blade from his back.
"Ye Liuyun, how dare you look down on me? I’m going to grind your bones into dust today!" The disciple of the Gorefiend Sect bellowed angrily as he sent a palm strike toward Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun gently waved his blade. That incomparably domineering intent and the power of heaven and earth easily tore apart the palm strike and slashed it to the ground like cutting tofu.
After that, the blood palm completely disappeared.
"Impossible!" The disciple murmured, and then a bloody line appeared from his head to toe.
"Impossible? I’ve killed more than a dozen of your Elders! If it weren’t for the competition, I wouldn’t have bothered to deal with trash like you!"
Ye Liuyun said coldly and then said to the Elder, "Next!"
The disciple of the Gorefiend Sect suddenly split in two, and his blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
