Song Zijun could not tell where the real killing move of the 'Star Picking Hand' was or how it was used. In fact, most of the youths present could not tell either. Want to see? Books.
This made Song Zijun feel like a failure. As the saying goes, a bystander sees clearly, but as a bystander, he did not understand. If Liu Yuxing had used the 'Star Picking Hand' against him, the outcome would be obvious.
He would not even know how he died.
Yi Yun said, "The 'Star Picking Hand' is a finger technique. It's hidden within a sword technique's killing move. The sword technique is just a pretense."
The essence of the 'Star Picking Hand' was to condense Yuan Qi. This Yuan Qi could be used to move objects, and it could also be used to kill enemies.
The two words' Star Picking Hand 'described that when the' Star Picking Hand 'was cultivated to the extreme, one could use this Yuan Qi to pluck down the stars in the sky.
Of course, this was just an exaggeration.
In an unexpected situation, the 'Star Picking Hand' was indeed effective, but if the opponent was prepared, its effects would be greatly reduced.
Hence, the Liu family would try their best to hide the attacking effects of the 'Star Picking Hand'. This made many young warriors with little experience not know much about the 'Star Picking Hand'.
Liu Yuxing's sneak attack on Yi Yun was done very well in every aspect. Unfortunately, Yi Yun had not only condensed the Heaven's eyeball, he also had the Purple Crystal within his body. He was extremely sensitive to energy.
Although Liu Yuxing's hidden force could not be seen with the naked eye, in Yi Yun's vision, this hidden force was as obvious as a flame in the night. How could Yi Yun be sneaked up on?
Hence, Liu Yuxing was destined to fail.
"So that's how it is." After hearing Yi Yun's words, Song Zijun recalled the scene of Yi Yun battling the 'Star Picking Hand'. He finally understood the principles of the 'Star Picking Hand'.
Actually, an offensive cultivation technique that specialized in sneak attacks was not the way to go. Especially at the level of a sage, with his Heaven's Eye fully opened, his senses were extremely sharp. It was not easy to sneak up on him.
Yi Yun sat down at his seat. In the following matches, no one dared to challenge Yi Yun.
Even Liu Yuxing had been knocked down by Yi Yun's brick. What else was there for them to fight? Following Yi Yun up on stage? They were just asking for a beating.
After spending a large amount of dragon scale runes to make things difficult for themselves, those who had previously challenged Yi Yun were too deep for tears.
Yi Yun sat in his seat. Every time it was his turn to compete. He didn't even have to stand up before his opponent admitted defeat.
Yi Yun's victory over Liu Yuxing was his fifteenth consecutive victory.
Then eighteen, nineteen, twenty.
Without any suspense, Yi Yun obtained twenty consecutive victories. He also won the bet with the Hongdao Association.
Li Hong's complexion had already turned frosty.
Now that things had come to this, what else could he say?
Amongst the rookies, Yi Yun had already reached the top. The only ones who could compete with Yi Yun were probably Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu!
This somersault. Li Hong could only admit defeat.
"Brother Hong, our brothers have lost terribly this time!"
A Hongdao Association disciple said to Liu Yuxing in a mournful voice. He had lost 1200 dragon scale runes. These dragon scale runes were obtained from pawning items and some were borrowed from friends.
Now that he had lost everything, those friends of his had come to chase him for his debt. After all, IOUs were not protected in the Tai Ah Divine City.
Thinking of returning the dragon scale runes in the future, the Hongdao Association disciple felt bitter. How could he return it?
Li Hong did not say a word. He estimated that Yi Yun's wealth would reach more than 100,000 dragon scale runes after these few days of competition.
A rookie. In just a few months, he had earned 100,000 dragon scale runes in the Tai Ah Divine City. It was heaven-defying!
Li Hong's estimate was not wrong. By the end of the third day of competition, Yi Yun's accumulated dragon scale runes had officially exceeded the 100,000 mark.
Together with the ones he had previously spent. Yi Yun's total dragon scale runes had reached 120,000.
This amount of dragon scale runes allowed him to enter the Dragon scale roll of honor!
The Dragon scale roll of honor's calculation was to add up all the dragon scale runes a person had, together with all the dragon scale runes they had spent in the Ten Thousand Pagoda, various cultivation grounds and other businesses in the Tai Ah Divine City. After calculating a total number, it would be ranked on the Dragon scale roll of honor.
And glory points were not included in the Dragon scale roll of honor. This was because the Dragon scale roll assessed a cultivator's ability to earn wealth in the future.
As for glory points, most of them were awarded by the Divine City after a cultivator completed a certain achievement. It did not reflect one's ability to earn wealth, so it was excluded.
As the Dragon scale roll assessed the total amount of wealth, the longer one stayed in the Tai Ah Divine City, the more advantageous it was.
Typically, cultivators who had been in the Tai Ah Divine City for 2-3 years with decent strength would only earn 100-200 dragon scale runes a day. In a year, they would earn 40-50 thousand dragon scale runes.
Yi Yun's 120,000 dragon scale runes was undoubtedly number one amongst the rookies. As for the second and third year cultivators, Yi Yun had passed most of them.
Now, Yi Yun's ranking on the Man roll of honor was around 6000, which was in the middle!
In the past hundred years of the Tai Ah Divine City's history, there had never been a case of someone reaching the 6000 ranks on the Man roll of honor in three months.
Immediately, Yi Yun's reputation in the Tai Ah Divine City grew. Many powerful veteran cultivators began to pay attention to Yi Yun.
Originally, they thought Yi Yun was just lucky. But now, Yi Yun had used the Heaven Upheaval Seal to defeat Liu Yuxing, proving his terrifying potential.
Such a person was a dragon in the abyss. He would definitely soar in the future!
"Are you Yi Yun?"
On the third night, after the arena battle ended, Yi Yun, Zhou Kui, Song Zijun and company went to have a meal together. A youth with curly hair appeared in front of Yi Yun.
"Oh?" Yi Yun glanced at the youth. He had a faint smile on his face, as if he was very friendly.
"That's me." Yi Yun said.
"Ha! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! " The youth cupped his hands at Yi Yun, "My name is Lan Bai. I'm from the Chu royal residence. I previously reported little brother Yi's matter to my family. My family's Elders are very interested in little brother Yi. In a few months, there will be a short rookie holiday. I wonder if little brother Yi is interested in visiting the Chu royal residence?"
As the youth said this, he handed Yi Yun a jade scroll.
Yi Yun was stunned for a moment. He interfaced his mental energy with the jade scroll and scanned its contents. He immediately understood the purpose of the youth's visit. He was representing the Chu royal residence to rope him in, and the letter promised Yi Yun all sorts of benefits.
It included the territory under the Chu royal residence's jurisdiction, a mid-sized city's fief, large tracts of farmland, a luxurious mansion and hundreds of maids and servants.
Every year, the Chu royal residence would provide Yi Yun with a sizable amount of elixirs, relics, all sorts of armor, weapons and magical items.
In the last condition, the Chu royal residence even promised that after Yi Yun turned fifteen, they would find seven beautiful girls with outstanding talent to be Yi Yun's concubines, allowing him to dual cultivate with them.
And the condition was that Yi Yun would become a guest of the Chu royal residence.
Yi Yun was stunned. He had been roped in!
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
Beside Yi Yun, Zhou Kui and Song Zijun did not know the contents of Yi Yun's jade scroll, but they could guess that he was roping in Yi Yun. Immediately, they were filled with envy.
This was the difference between a top genius and a normal genius like them.
Yi Yun had only been in the Tai Ah Divine City for three months, and there was already someone trying to snatch him away.
"How is it? Are you satisfied? " The curly-haired youth rubbed his hands in anticipation of Yi Yun's answer. But at this moment, a pleasant male voice was heard. It gave people a feeling of a spring breeze.
"Lan Bai, it's been a while. Why haven't you improved at all? You're here cheating rookies again!"
Yi Yun was stunned. He turned his head and saw an azure-clothed youth walking over. This youth looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth. He looked very heroic.
Seeing this azure-clothed youth, Lan Bai's expression turned ugly. He opened his mouth and said with a dry tone.
"Xu Qingyun"
Oh? Xu Qingyun!?
Upon hearing this name, Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat and he was somewhat surprised.
Xu Qingyun, who was ranked fourth on the Heaven roll of honor, was him!?
Yi Yun had an impression of this Xu Qingyun. He was ranked top five on both the Heaven and Earth rolls of honor!
Xu Qingyun had been in the Tai Ah Divine City for five years, and this year was the last year.
He was a true veteran Trial Challenger!
Beside Yi Yun, Song Zijun and Zhou Kui were also shocked. To rookies like them, Xu Qingyun's status was too high. They had no way of interacting with him.
Just like this rookie ranking competition. The rookies were fighting for it, and it was a major event. No matter what competition it was, they had to come to the arena to take a look.
But to those in the top hundred of the Heaven and Earth rolls of honor, this competition was nothing. There was no need for them to pay attention to it. This was because the difference in strength between them and the rookies was too great!
The curly-haired youth laughed dryly and said, "Brother Xu must be joking. Since when did I cheat a rookie?"
"Heh." Xu Qingyun scanned the jade scroll in Yi Yun's hand. In a blink of an eye, he had finished reading the contents inside. He shook his head in disgust and said, "This again. Giving such benefits to trick rookies into signing a soul contract with your Chu royal residence. What a good plan."
"Oh? Soul contract? "Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. Just from the name, he could roughly guess what it was.
From the looks of it, the benefits given by the curly-haired youth required a soul contract as a condition.
The curly-haired youth might not have explained the soul contract clearly. Yi Yun was still fine. He was mature and his goals were ambitious, so he would not fall for it. But if it were other rookies, who were only thirteen or fourteen years old and did not have good discernment, coupled with the allure of a beautiful cultivation slave, it was not impossible for them to fall for it.
"In this Tai Ah Divine City, other than fighting, there are all sorts of dangers."
Yi Yun shook his head in his heart. The curly-haired youth had approached him with a friendly smile, but Yi Yun could not tell that he had such thoughts.
"You better leave this place quickly, or else …" Before Xu Qingyun finished speaking, the curly-haired youth laughed dryly, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, I was wrong. I'll disappear now, I'll disappear now!"
Saying that, the curly-haired youth bowed and retreated.
Yi Yun looked at Xu Qingyun in surprise. This Xu Qingyun did not have the airs of an expert.
