"Bai Yunfei, is this your final trump card?" Looking at the terrifying purple halo, Xing Jue could also feel its terrifying power. However, Xing Jue was not afraid because of this. Because he had not used his final trump card yet.
Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, Xing Jue slowly spread his arms and turned his palms up. Streams of powerful martial aura began to circulate rapidly in his body and finally gathered in his palms.
"Puff!" With a sound like flint rubbing against each other, two tiny flames actually rose up between Xing Jue's palms.
However, with a shout from Xing Jue, the tiny flames instantly rose up and burned in Xing Jue's palms like two pillars of fire breaking through the air. Then they gradually shrank and finally turned into two rapidly spinning fireballs.
Xing Jue put his palms against each other and the two fireballs collided with each other. As the fireballs intertwined with each other, the ear-piercing sound of flames rubbing against each other could be heard. Then they slowly fused together under the astonished gazes of the crowd. In the end, they even fused into a fireball with a diameter of only one foot. However, such a small fireball contained a terrifying power that made everyone tremble.
"Haha, Xing Jue, you really haven't disappointed me. I just don't know if this small fireball of yours is a match for my halo of light." Looking at the fireball in Xing Jue's hand that was spinning at an extremely fast speed, Bai Yunfei's face actually showed a hint of excitement, then he laughed out loud.
"What? Do you want to give it a try? "Xing Jue smiled and replied indifferently.
"That's exactly what I'm thinking." Suddenly Bai Yunfei shouted. The purple halo of light containing a terrifying power turned into a thick pillar of purple light and shot straight at Xing Jue at an extremely fast speed.
"Flame Dragon Bullet!" Facing the terrifying pillar of light, Xing Jue also shouted and then stretched his palms forward. The rapidly spinning fireball instantly turned into a thick fire dragon and swept towards the purple pillar of light.
"Pft!"
Rumble!
The purple-coloured pillar of light collided with the red fire dragon, instantly emitting a deafening explosion. Even the square in the outer pavilion trembled twice. From this, one could see just how frightening the purple-coloured pillar of light and the red fire dragon were.
The purple pillar of light intertwined with the red fire dragon. It was as if two dragons were fighting. In the end, it turned into an energy ball of light that was a few feet tall. The purple light and red flames within the ball of light constantly flickered, as if they were fighting for control over the fireball.
"Bang!" Another explosion could be heard as the giant fireball exploded. Terrifying ripples of energy spread out rapidly, and in the end, both Xing Jue and Bai Yunfei were sucked into it.
Only after the ripples of energy had dissipated did everyone discover to their astonishment that the arena had already been leveled to the ground. Bai Yunfei was lying on the rubble, his body covered in wounds. However, Xing Jue was standing on top of the rubble, completely unharmed. Moreover, there was an old man standing beside him. This old man was the first elder of the outer pavilion.
It turned out that at the moment of imminent peril, the Great Elder still acted to protect the Punishment Art.
"Cough cough cough." Accompanied by a series of heart-wrenching coughs, a trembling body slowly stood up from the rubble. Bai Yunfei was actually not dead.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared by Bai Yunfei's side like ghosts. Using a thousand-year-old darksteel chain, they tied Bai Yunfei up.
Seeing this scene, everyone was even more shocked. Even Xing Jue was somewhat confused about what was going on. However, Bai Yunfei had a cold smile on his face. Clearly, he was not the least bit surprised that these two elders had tied him up.
After Bai Yunfei was captured by the two elders, the first elder officially announced that Xing Jue was the champion of this examination. Furthermore, he had obtained a mysterious prize from the main pavilion.
When the first elder announced the prize, everyone's faces revealed even more envious expressions. This was because the prize was one of the most treasured martial skills of Yufeng Pavilion, the Earth Tier martial skill, "Soul Slaying Sword".
An Earth Tier martial skill. Although no one in the outer pavilion had truly seen what an Earth Tier martial skill was like, everyone knew that an Earth Tier martial skill possessed the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter the earth.
In the end, the examination that had lasted for two days came to an end amidst the deafening applause and cheers of the crowd.
In the elder's hall of the outer pavilion, the first elder stood with his hands behind his back while Xing Jue stood respectfully to the side.
"Xing Jue, this Soul Slaying Sword is the most treasured martial skill of my Yufeng Pavilion. So after you learn it, you are not allowed to pass it on to others. Otherwise, no one can protect you. Do you understand?" The first elder stood in front of Xing Jue and said solemnly. Xing Jue nodded his head in agreement.
After seeing that Xing Jue had agreed to him, the first elder waved his sleeve and a transparent talisman appeared from his sleeve with a flash. The talisman was as transparent as a crystal and in the middle of the talisman, there were densely packed ancient characters engraved.
"This is the Earth Tier martial skill," Soul Slaying Sword "?" Xing Jue looked at the talisman in front of him with a face full of shock. This was completely different from the martial skills that he had practiced in the past. It was actually not recorded in a book but in such a small talisman.
"Low Tier martial skills are very precious. Using this talisman to record his cultivation method is just a method to prevent it from being spread out." The first elder explained. Then, he waved his right arm and the talisman was pasted on Xing Jue's head.
As the talisman was pasted on his head, Xing Jue felt his head heat up. Countless strange characters started to pour into his head. At this moment, Xing Jue was shocked to discover that this talisman that did not seem big actually recorded so many characters. This method was really admirable.
After half an hour, the inheritance of the Earth Tier martial skill was finally completed. After rubbing his numb head, a bright smile appeared on Xing Jue's face because at this moment, he could clearly feel that the cultivation method of the Soul Slaying Sword had been completely recorded in his head.
After keeping the talisman, the first elder turned around and sat on the main seat. He also instructed Xing Jue to sit beside him.
"Xing Jue, this time when you enter the Inner Pavilion, you must be careful of one person. Do not offend him." The first elder took a sip of tea and slowly said to Xing Jue.
"May I know who the first elder is referring to? Please tell me." Xing Jue asked with some confusion.
"The second elder of the Inner Pavilion." The first elder put the teacup on the tea table and said to Xing Jue word by word.
"The second elder of the Inner Pavilion?" After hearing this name, Xing Jue suddenly remembered that there was an outer pavilion elder who represented the second elder of the Inner Pavilion and wanted to take him in as a disciple. However, Xing Jue rejected him. Originally, Xing Jue did not care about it. However, after hearing the first elder mention it, he suddenly remembered.
"The second elder of the Inner Pavilion is a person with great ambition. He has always wanted to completely control the Inner Pavilion. In order to strengthen his own power, he even left one of his disciples in the outer pavilion to find a new disciple with better aptitude to be his disciple."
"That day, you rejected the second elder. So now that you have entered the Inner Pavilion, it is inevitable that the second elder will make things difficult for you. However, for that kind of person, it is best for you to be more tolerant. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to survive in the Inner Pavilion." The first elder said to Xing Jue seriously.
"Thank you for your warning, first elder." After hearing the first elder's words, Xing Jue already had some understanding of the second elder. That fellow was not a good person.
"Yes, you have great potential. As long as you train well, I believe that even in this enormous Yufeng Pavilion, there will be a place for you in the future." The first elder said to Xing Jue with praise. Clearly, he thought very highly of Xing Jue. Xing Jue smiled brightly. He also had a very good impression of this outer pavilion first elder.
"Alright, go back and rest. You will enter the Inner Pavilion tomorrow." The first elder said with a smile. Then with a wave of his sleeve, he was about to send the guest off.
"Er … first elder, there is still one thing I don't understand." After a moment of silence, Xing Jue asked nervously.
"Haha … you brat …"
"You want to ask why I captured Bai Yunfei?" The first elder asked with a smile as if he could guess what Xing Jue was thinking.
"Yes, please enlighten me, Great Elder." Xing Jue smiled slightly and then said politely.
"This matter is a long story …" The First Elder slowly stood up. He looked out of the window and spoke with a profound meaning.
"A hundred years ago, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range to the north of Yufeng Pavilion, a Wu Zun -level demoness appeared. That demoness was extremely strange and ate the souls of humans as food. The people around the Magical Beast Mountain Range weren't a match for her, so they sent a distress call to Yufeng Pavilion.
"As the ruler of the Oshikaze Empire, Yufeng Pavilion couldn't care less about the safety of the citizens of the Oshikaze Empire. So they sent two elders of the Wu Zun -level to capture the demoness.
"But I never expected that those two elders were not a match for that demoness. They even sent a signal to the Imperial Wind Pavilion for reinforcements. After that, my Imperial Wind Pavilion sent an extremely outstanding disciple from the inner cabinet to support them."
"But after that disciple left, there was no news of him. Left with no other choice, Yufeng Pavilion sent out another large group of people, but they only found the corpses of the two elders.
"In the end, we found out that those two elders had used up their last bit of strength at the very last moment. With their combined strength, they managed to seal that witch." The First Elder slowly said.
"Then … then what of the disciple? Did they find him? " Xing Jue was naturally aware of what had happened in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Moreover, the Soul Devouring Demoness from back then was now his servant. "Xiaoqian."
"But they still couldn't find the disciple. It was as if he had disappeared. There was no news at all.
"But twenty years after that incident, an evil sect called the 'Soul Eater Sect' suddenly appeared in the Oshikaze Empire."
"Soul Eater Sect?" After hearing the name, Xing Jue's calm face suddenly became excited.
