Su Yu's eyes, which were in a daze, were suddenly filled with astonishment!
Whoosh —
Turning around, Su Yu forgot his propriety. He grabbed Yun Yan's shoulder tightly and said anxiously, "Speak!"
Yun Yan groaned in pain, "You're hurting me."
"Oh … I'm sorry Yun Yan, I was rude …" Su Yu realized he had lost control and hurriedly let go, his apology mixed with urgency as he stared into Yun Yan's beautiful eyes.
Yun Yan rubbed her aching shoulder, her heart filled with resentment, but more than that, envy.
If Su Yu could do so much for his beloved fiancée, what about her fiancé in the Inner Sanctum?
A trace of sadness and helplessness welled up in her heart.
"It's simple!" Yun Yan said, "After you left just now, the Second Elder gave the three of us who did not want to leave the Faction a chance, and that is to participate in the Fallen Star Contest tomorrow!"
Su Yu did not understand, "Fallen Star Contest?"
Yun Yan nodded, "Yes! It is an annual contest in the Outer Sanctum, usually held a month after the recruitment test, which happens to be tomorrow. "
"The Fallen Star Contest gathers all the outstanding talents in the Outer Sanctum and holds a friendly competition. If you can cause the Icy Pearl above the Icy Azure Lake to vibrate, you will successfully qualify to enter the Inner Sanctum and avoid the fate of being expelled. At that time, you should have a chance to meet your fiancée," Yun Yan slowly explained.
In Yun Yan's vision, Su Yu's grief and anger had been replaced by determination, making it difficult for her to look him in the eye.
"But the chances are very slim! It's as good as nothing! " Yun Yan could not bear to hurt Su Yu. "The last time someone passed the Fallen Star Contest was a hundred years ago. That was Clan Master Xi. With the resources provided by Han Zhi, he finally broke through the shackles and entered the Inner Sanctum."
"After her, no other Outer Sanctum disciple has passed!" Yun Yan's expression dimmed, "To activate the Icy Pearl, one must at least have the fighting power of Level Two Peak. How many Outer Sanctum disciples can reach Level Two Peak?"
Although the Second Elder had given the three of them a chance, the chances were slim, close to zero.
But what shocked Yun Yan was that Su Yu did not show any signs of disappointment, worry, or hesitation. Instead, the determination in his eyes became even more piercing!
"Su Yu, have you never felt despair?" Yun Yan could not understand the look in Su Yu's eyes!
Su Yu raised his head to look at the sky. Beneath his silver hair, his eyes were as deep as the stars. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile as he looked up at the sky and laughed. "The most despairing person in the world isn't having a slim hope, but rather … having no hope at all!"
"Give me a shred of hope. I, Su Yu, can create a miracle!" Su Yu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes shining with unprecedented brightness.
He was not afraid of having little hope. He was only afraid of not giving him the slightest bit of hope!
A glimmer of hope, a miracle of the world …
Yun Yan's delicate body trembled, her heart pounding. She stared at Su Yu, feeling that his figure was unprecedentedly tall.
It was as if Su Yu could feel a majestic will that was unwilling to be shackled, rising against the heavens, and tearing apart the world. It was vast and majestic, and it filled Su Yu's entire body!
A trace of admiration, a trace of respect, and a trace of inferiority mixed together in his heart.
The reason why Su Yu was so dazzling, charming, and imposing was not because he was handsome and charming, nor was it because of his extraordinary strength, but because of his incomparable defying will!
Su Yu was able to go against all the obstacles in his life, and he was able to go against all the difficulties in his life!
Like a comet, he cut through the cold starry sky, leaving the world with a breathtaking scene!
Yun Yan stared at him blankly, her maiden heart gently wavering.
But after a moment, she finally restrained herself.
She understood that she was attracted to Su Yu's will, but it was only a momentary good feeling.
But if she continued to indulge in the majestic defying will, it was inevitable that she would be unable to extricate herself.
"I have a fiancé, I can't do this," Yun Yan muttered in her heart, and a ripple quickly calmed down.
When she looked at Su Yu again, her eyes were clear, and her beautiful eyes were full of sincere wishes, "Su Yu, I hope you can get what you want in tomorrow's battle."
Su Yu was grateful, and asked, "What about you?"
Yun Yan smiled sadly, "The family has already prepared a way out for me, you don't have to worry."
After saying this, she elegantly turned around and left alone.
She did not have Su Yu's will, nor did she have Su Yu's strength. There was no hope for the Fallen Star Contest.
"Her only purpose in entering the Liuxian Faction was to find a legacy level technique for the family?" Su Yu rubbed the Five Dragon Blaze in his sleeves, unsure if this scroll was suitable for her.
The fire-based legacy level technique cultivated by the silver-robed guards of the Empire of Darkness was not suitable for Su Yu. It would be better to give it to Yun Yan as a parting gift, as well as a repayment for their previous acquaintance.
But now was not the time.
The Hundred Vassal Clans did not have a legacy level technique. If he gave it to Yun Yan in front of everyone, she might not be able to return to the family alive.
Other than them, there were also the black-armored guards in front of the iron bridge, as well as two or three scattered people. It was not convenient to take it out.
He needed to find a time when there was no one around to secretly give it to Yun Yan.
Returning to the temporary quarters of the Outer Sanctum, Su Yu sat in seclusion.
He took out a medium grade marrow cleansing elixir. It was dark blue in color, and its medicinal power was a hundred times that of a low grade marrow cleansing elixir!
"Tomorrow is the Fallen Star Contest. The Outer Sanctum has accumulated countless years of Outer Sanctum experts. It is necessary to increase any bit of strength!" Su Yu opened his mouth and swallowed.
In an instant, the powerful medicinal power filled his limbs, cleansing his flesh and bones.
A layer of viscous liquid flowed out of Su Yu's pores like mercury.
A sense of ease and comfort welled up in his heart.
It was as if a heavy burden had been removed, his body was clear inside and out.
Not only was his body as light as a goose feather, but his soul had also been freed from its shackles and was extremely ethereal.
His entire temperament changed once again, as if he was a person from a painting.
This was the physical limit, a step away from the appearance of a mortal.
The medicinal power was a hundred times that of a low grade marrow cleansing elixir, fierce and powerful beyond imagination!
After the cleansing, most of the impurities in his body had been expelled, becoming transparent like an unpolished jade. The speed at which he absorbed energy was even faster!
That day, the cold energy absorbed by the Ice Divine Temple was too vast. A large portion of it was difficult for his body to absorb, and it had settled in his flesh.
Now that his body had become transparent, it had begun to absorb the settled cold energy!
Coupled with the medium grade marrow cleansing elixir, it carried a powerful energy.
The two combined, and a surge of energy swept through Su Yu's body like ten thousand galloping horses.
Buzz buzz buzz —
Su Yu's cultivation level surged like a torrent, easily crossing the threshold of First Level Upper Tier Holy King, advancing towards First Level Peak Holy King.
After a few hours, he finally stopped before First Level Peak Holy King.
He was just a step away from breaking through the shackles!
As expected of the medium grade marrow cleansing elixir, its effects were beyond compare!
Unfortunately, it was not easy to obtain and could not be consumed for long periods of time.
Time was tight, so Su Yu quickly entered the state of time acceleration of two hundred times to comprehend what he had learned.
The next morning, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
That day, Su Yu had taken the opportunity to absorb the ice seal to comprehend Glazed Ice Flame, Icy Divine Wings, and Sigh of Ice.
However, only the movement technique Icy Divine Wings was relatively easy to comprehend. He had broken through Stage One Lower Class and cultivated the Flying Wings.
Although Glazed Ice Flame and Sigh of Ice had made great progress, they were still a step away from Stage One Lower Class.
Glazed Ice Flame was known as the best of the legacy level techniques, its power unpredictable. If he could comprehend Stage One Lower Class, its power would be extraordinary.
If Sigh of Ice could comprehend Stage One Lower Class, his spiritual energy would be thirty percent denser than his peers, and the power of the same technique would be thirty percent stronger! Extremely impressive!
Unfortunately, both were still a step away from Lower Class!
Su Yu murmured, "If I can encounter something extremely cold, maybe I can break through both legacy level techniques and reach a whole new level!"
Finally, Purple Star Thunderbolt was only a step away from Top Class!
The saint grade Holy Decree, after a long period of comprehension, also showed signs of transforming to a whole new level.
Su Yu could sense that he was currently at a bottleneck that was awaiting a transformation.
Once the opportunity arrived, he would be reborn.
Dong dong —
The ethereal sound of a bell came from afar.
The Fallen Star Contest was about to begin!
Clenching his right fist, Su Yu looked at the mysterious Inner Sanctum, which was surrounded by countless stars. He said firmly, "Xian 'er! Wait for me! "
He would obtain the right to enter the Inner Sanctum and take Xian'er away, never to be separated again!
Whoosh —
He left in a flash and headed toward the Fallen Star Contest arena.
This contest would be held on the cold star of the seventeen fallen stars.
Looking over, the sky was filled with figures. The Outer Sanctum disciples of the seventeen fallen stars were all rushing toward the cold star.
The annual Fallen Star Contest had begun!
Su Yu flew over and landed in front of a magnificent arena that could hold ten thousand people.
At the entrance, an elegant figure was waiting.
There was a faint sense of loss on her face. Her lonely figure did not fit in with the bustling crowd.
Although there were people stunned by her beauty, no one stopped for her.
"Yun Yan, are you waiting for someone?" Su Yu came over and asked with concern.
Yun Yan looked up and forced a smile, "I'm waiting for Li Zhi... my fiancé. I sent him a message yesterday."
Su Yu frowned slightly. The contest was about to begin. Once it began, the arena would be sealed and outsiders would not be allowed to enter.
"Let's go, he won't come." Yun Yan's eyes dimmed as she entered the arena with Su Yu.
Rumble —
As the arena door closed, the contest officially began!
In the arena, there were as many as three thousand Outer Sanctum disciples!
The weakest were at Level Eight of the Martial Path, Level Nine, and even half Holy Kings!
Su Yu could also see many strong martial artists of the Holy King Realm. In fact, he even discovered the existence of a Second Level Holy King!
Yun Yan was a member of the family after all. She was well-informed and knew the details. She explained to Su Yu, "The Fallen Star Contest is divided into three stages. The Top Nine Competition! Finally, the Nine Dragons Fight for the Pearl.
"Whoever wins first place and causes the Icy Pearl to vibrate will be able to ascend to the heavens and become an Inner Sanctum disciple. They will enjoy endless resources and their future achievements will be limitless."
Su Yu nodded. Three thousand people would compete to determine the top hundred! The top hundred would compete to determine the top nine! The final nine would compete to determine the Outer Sanctum King! If the Outer Sanctum King could activate the Icy Pearl, he would become an Inner Sanctum disciple!
"This year's Fallen Star Contest is filled with strong martial artists! The Three Heavenly Kings of the Outer Sanctum are all Second Level Holy Kings. Even the number one, Zhao Wuxie, recently reached Second Level Peak Holy King. He is a once-in-a-century genius of the Outer Sanctum. Back then, he almost entered the Inner Sanctum. This year, he has a high chance of entering the Inner Sanctum! "
"In addition, there will also be new inner disciples in the Fallen Star Competition. They are the real geniuses compared to us, the bait. They will participate in the assessment together. For example, Sun Tianyang from the Sun family, who is ranked first among the Hundred Vassal Clans, and Yuan Hu from the Yuan family, who is ranked second. They have already been accepted as elder disciples in advance and are inner disciples."
"They do not need to compete for the Inner Sanctum. The reason they are participating in the Fallen Star Contest is because the faction is giving them a rare opportunity to hone their skills. Secondly, it is to provide a benchmark for the Outer Sanctum disciples to measure the gap between them and the Inner Sanctum."
Su Yu understood. Yuan Hu was the chubby youth who had accompanied Liu Guang to maintain order in the recruitment test.
A fourteen-year-old Second Level Holy King was impressive.
That day, he had said that if Su Yu entered the Liuxian Faction, he would make sure that Su Yu would never be able to rise again.
Su Yu had never thought that he would be competing with him at the Fallen Star Contest.
"I hope that you won't run into me. Otherwise, you will be greatly surprised by the past ant," Su Yu muttered to himself.
Dong —
The bell rang.
The Fallen Star Contest would decide whether the three thousand disciples would crawl in the Outer Sanctum or become dragons.
The battle that would decide the fate of Su Yu and Xianer had finally begun!
Many people said it was even shorter. Two chapters of six thousand words was equivalent to three chapters of many authors with two thousand words. That was quite a lot of words.
