In the battle between Su Yun and Shaochengtian, the crowd was more optimistic about Shaochengtian, because many of the sharper ones had already seen through Shaochengtian's subtle movements.
It wasn't that this powerful cultivator who used to be at the top of the Ling Yu Ranking didn't lack the ability to climb back up. He was merely biding his time.
Not many people knew about Su Yun. The only thing worth mentioning about him was his title as the top new student. But that was enough to explain the situation. After all, the academy had made an exception and given him an extra place on the trip to the Southern Fire God's Zhurong Temple.
Everyone knew that he hadn't really made it to the Ling Yu Ranking, so they didn't know how strong he was.
Night As Fire and the others were naturally there as well, but they weren't worried at all. They had already seen how capable Su Yun was. He had killed a sixth-level spiritual beast with ease during a mission! Therefore, no matter how strong Shaochengtian was, he couldn't be more powerful than a Spiritual Grandmaster. In their eyes, the winner was already decided.
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down, because it was almost noon and Su Yun had shown up.
Su Yun nodded at Xu Qian and the others, then jumped into the ring. Although they didn't get along well, Shaochengtian was his senior brother after all, so he had to show him some respect.
Fifteen minutes after he got into the ring, Shaochengtian arrived as well.
"You seem very confident," Shaochengtian said with a smile as he stood opposite Su Yun.
"You're confident too." Indeed, Shao Cheng Tian gave people the feeling that he had a card up his sleeve, and his desire to fight was not weaker than Su Yun's.
"This battle is good. Let's settle all our grudges." Recalling the unbearable past between him and Su Yun, Shaochengtian couldn't wait to fight.
"Senior brother, thank you." Su Yun cupped his fists and spoke with unprecedented politeness.
Shaochengtian was a little surprised. He didn't sense any sarcasm in Su Yun's words. There was only sincerity.
Shaochengtian was dazed for a moment. He didn't know what to feel. Bury the hatchet? It didn't seem that difficult.
At least, Su Yun had already done it.
Shaochengtian cupped his fists. There was no longer any playfulness on his face.
Seeing that he had finished returning the greeting, Su Yun took the initiative to attack.
"The two of them? Could it be that there's another story? "Seeing the two of them like this, someone below the stage asked.
"They met half a year ago. We only know that there's a grudge between them.. but not many people know the details."
"From the looks of it, no matter who wins or loses this battle, the two of them will shake hands and make peace."
"It's better not to make enemies."
In the midst of the discussion, Su Yun was already bare-handed.
Shaochengtian didn't dodge. He punched out. Su Yun's figure stagnated, and Shaochengtian took two steps back.
So strong! Shaochengtian's face was dignified. He couldn't calm down. Su Yun's spiritual power was so overbearing that he couldn't even fight it head-on!
Su Yun didn't give him much time to breathe. In a breath's time, Su Yun was close again.
Shaochengtian didn't expect Su Yun to advance so quickly. He also didn't expect him to be so strong.
The two of them fought bare-handed and Shao Cheng Tian was forced back by the explosion of spirit force. The more Shaochengtian fought, the more shocked he was. The more the crowd watched, the more shocked they were.
"Shaochengtian really broke through!"
"But Su Yun seems to be stronger than him."
"If Shaochengtian is already at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Stage, does that mean Su Yun is a Spiritual Grandmaster?"
Someone shook his head. "He's only at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Stage."
"He's only been cultivating at Aoran College for a year, but he almost broke through to the next stage. I don't think many people can compare to him." Someone sighed.
As for Xu Qian and the others, their faces were filled with excitement. Su Yun did not disappoint them.
"I really don't know how this guy cultivates." Ever since Su Yun surpassed Night As Fire, he had made it his goal to surpass him. However, it seemed that it would be very difficult to achieve.
"After this year, he'll definitely be in the top ten of the Ling Yao Ranking," said Huang Zhan.
"I wonder why he has to start now." Xu Qian was confused.
In less than forty rounds, Shaochengtian was clearly at a disadvantage.
Shaochengtian didn't use his Magistrate Brush until now.
He had two Magistrate Brushes. Using both hands, he struck out and forced Su Yun back.
"I didn't expect you to improve so quickly." Shaochengtian felt powerless.
Su Yun bent his legs and extended his arms. Waves of energy circled around his hands. He didn't seem to want to use Sky Snatcher.
After only a short fight, Shaochengtian knew that he was more likely to lose than win.
However, he wasn't going to give up so easily.
The Magistrate's Brush tapped down in the air, causing waves of energy to ripple, causing the spectators below to be secretly shocked.
Su Yun could tell that Shaochengtian didn't want to continue the fight. He wanted to end it with one move.
Shaochengtian had already reached the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm. His spiritual power was much more powerful than before. When he used this move, the lethality increased.
Su Yun had already experienced it.
The second turn of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique was activated quickly. He didn't hold back at all. Waves of energy rippled between his hands. His clothes fluttered without wind.
"It's just the beginning. Is it going to end?" The people below the stage did not look disappointed, because the next battle would still be very exciting.
The Magistrate Brush in Shaochengtian's hand emitted a shocking wave. His hands moved slowly. Every stroke had an invincible power.
Su Yun felt like he was in a whirlpool. The second turn of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique surrounded his body. His fist was like a dormant dragon.
The two looked up at the same time. Their eyes met, full of the desire to win.
With a punch, the spiritual energy collided. Amidst the earth-shattering sound, a violent wave of spiritual energy rippled outwards, forcing the people below the stage to retreat step by step!
"So strong! Is this really the power of the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm? " There were many Spiritual Leader Realm cultivators in the audience. They could feel that the strength of the two had almost reached the end of the Spiritual Leader Realm.
The two sides were in a stalemate. Su Yun's fists maintained the output of spiritual power, as steady as Mount Tai. The Magistrate Brush in Shaochengtian's hand trembled. Spiritual power poured out crazily.
"He won." Xu Qian smiled.
Night As Fire stared at Su Yun. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Everyone underestimated Shaochengtian." Xu Qian said, "At the same time, no one thought that the champion of last year's New Student Competition would be so strong."
"With Shaochengtian's strength, it would be easy for him to enter the top 30." Huang Zhan said.
"Su Yun's strength … This is not all." Night As Fire could feel that Su Yun was not using his full strength.
Shaochengtian could feel it too.
The spirit energy that filled the sky above the stage suddenly dissipated. Shao Cheng Tian was the first to stop.
Su Yun also stopped at the right time.
However, the people below the stage had yet to react from the exchange of blows just now. There was not a single person within twenty feet of the stage.
"You won." Shaochengtian put away his Magistrate Brush. He was not prepared to fight again.
Su Yun clasped his fist. "Thank you."
"I didn't expect you to reach this level in half a year. It's really surprising. "Shaochengtian smiled. Now, he felt that he could no longer hate this young man.
"You flatter me." Su Yun laughed modestly, and said: "With your strength, there will definitely be a place for you in the top thirty of the Ling Jue List, but you don't want to fight for that glory."
"I wanted to wait for them to leave and then amaze the world. But now, it seems that it's not necessary." Shaochengtian smiled bitterly.
"It's over. I should go." Su Yun clasped his fist.
Shaochengtian nodded and watched Su Yun leave.
It was not until Su Yun's figure disappeared that the audience became lively again. Although this fight was not earth-shattering, it was enough for people to brag about.
…
"Now, the most talked about topic in Aoran College is the fight between you and Shaochengtian yesterday." Night As Fire said, "I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement before the college enrolment."
"I guess he will also start to challenge." Su Yun said.
After the fight, Shaochengtian said that there was no need to hide anymore. Therefore, he would not wait until after the enrolment.
"According to reliable sources, he has already sent out his challenge letter." Xu Qian said.
"Who is the challenge letter for?" Su Yun asked.
"Xiao Mo of the Flaming Moon Mercenary Group. He is now ranked 32nd on the Ling Jue List." Xu Qian said.
"He wants to test the waters first." Night As Fire said.
"I'm going to start the next step." Su Yun looked at Xu Qian and said, "The next challenge letter will be at noon tomorrow. Tong Lie, outside the Cultivation Tower."
"Tong Lie of the Snow clan is ranked 19th on the Ling Jue List. I heard that she was pushed down to 25th and tried to break through to the Spiritual Grandmaster stage, but failed. She is at least half a step away from the Spiritual Grandmaster stage now …" Xu Qian said in surprise.
"I know what I'm doing." Su Yun smiled. He wouldn't have gone through so much trouble if he wasn't worried that he would be rejected if he challenged Shui Han directly.
Of course, Xu Qian and the others had no idea what he was planning to do.
"Alright." Xu Qian nodded.
"Isn't that a little too hasty? Shaochengtian has set the challenge for tomorrow afternoon. "Night As Fire said.
"The first drum of energy, the second will weaken, and the third will be exhausted," Su Yun said.
Night As Fire nodded. Since he was determined to make it to the Ling Jue List, he couldn't back down.
The previous day's battle didn't affect Su Yun at all. He was back to full strength after some rest.
"Let's get ready. Maybe we can try to break through to the Spiritual Grandmaster stage." Su Yun woke up from his cultivation state. He had a feeling that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. Maybe it was because of the Nine Transformation Chaos Technique that his spiritual essence had changed. The bottleneck had disappeared.
He had a feeling that even if he didn't do it himself, he would be forced to do it on his own. If the Dragon Fiend Spirit Severing Curse caused trouble again, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
"Dragon Fiend Spirit Severing Curse." Su Yun murmured. He had experienced the power of the curse several times and didn't dare let his guard down.
For some reason, Yixie had been asleep for over half a year and showed no signs of waking up.
"I guess I'll have to rely on myself!"
