With the broken sword in hand, Yi Yun stood up. He slowly probed it with his spiritual energy as he tried to understand the memories within the broken sword.
He slowly brandished the sword, as if he was still immersed in that dream-like spiritual world.
The sword wielding man's attack that split the bronze giant's head was much clearer than the sword scar in the Pure Yang Sword Palace. As long as Yi Yun recalled it, it would clearly appear in Yi Yun's mind.
Just looking at the sword scar, there was a limit to what one could understand. But seeing the sword with his own eyes, and having the image of the sword imprinted in one's mind, that feeling was completely different.
Yi Yun slowly entered a mysterious and mysterious state. As he wandered in that dreamlike world, he faintly felt that the things he previously did not understand were slowly being understood.
So that's how it is …
Yi Yun muttered to himself. He did not know how much time had passed. Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard footsteps coming from outside the sword tomb.
The footsteps were light but rhythmic. The interval between each step was as precise as a clock. This was the footsteps of an expert.
Cang Yan …
Yi Yun immediately realized who the owner of the footsteps was.
Yi Yun was surprised that he could hear the footsteps outside the sword tomb. It was unbelievable.
This was because once the door to the sword tomb was closed, the world within the sword tomb would be isolated from the outside world.
But now, not only could he hear the footsteps, he could also identify the owner of the footsteps.
"This kid still hasn't come out."
Outside the sword tomb, Cang Yan muttered to himself unhappily.
There were only two hours left before the overall group competition began. Ever since Yi Yun entered the sword tomb, he had lost track of time. He had to remind him every time.
But, if he were to call Yi Yun out directly, Cang Yan was afraid of disturbing Yi Yun. Warriors were afraid of being disturbed during cultivation.
Just as Cang Yan was looking at the hourglass, the sword tomb's door suddenly opened.
Yi Yun appeared at the door, "The overall group competition is about to begin?"
Yi Yun had heard Cang Yan muttering to himself in the sword tomb.
Cang Yan was stunned for a moment before he snapped, "You sure are on time. You are always on time. Now, most of the people in the arena have arrived. There are still two hours left. You can still meditate and adjust your condition. Your opponent today is very strong, very strong!"
Cang Yan used the word "strong" to describe the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's opponents in the overall group finals.
"This old man doesn't expect you to be the champion. As long as you can bring out the aura of my Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, that will be enough. Otherwise, that bunch of bastards can continue being smug in front of me!"
Cang Yan had a displeased expression. Previously, he was in a very bad mood after being mocked by the two white-robed elders.
"Got it." Yi Yun agreed. It was as if his mind was wandering. His consciousness was still immersed in the comprehension of the Sword Intent, and he was unable to extricate himself.
Seeing Yi Yun's indifferent look, Cang Yan became depressed, "Kid, what are you still thinking about? The entire Tai Ah Divine City can only rely on you for the overall group finals."
"Kid, let me tell you. There are a few very strong people in the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's youth division. If you can beat one of them, or win five consecutive matches, I'll give you a saber from the City Lord!"
Cang Yan felt that Yi Yun was someone who would not release the eagle without seeing the rabbit, so he threw out the bait.
"Saber?" Yi Yun was slightly stunned.
Cang Yan smiled mysteriously, "Don't be fooled by the City Lord's scholarly look. He actually uses a saber. And the City Lord likes to collect all sorts of treasured sabers. In his private armory, there are many good sabers. As long as you can win five matches, you can choose any saber you want!"
"The City Lord's collection?"
Yi Yun was tempted. The Sonic Deathblade he was using was from the Tai Ah Divine City's armory. Although it was a good saber, it was much worse than the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord's collection.
He already had the mysterious broken sword, and as for a saber, it was indeed average.
If he had a good saber to help him, his combat power could go up a notch!
But … actually, the broken sword could not see the light of day. Yi Yun did not dare to easily take it out. He could only use it as a trump card. Hence, he was still lacking a sword.
Thinking of this, Yi Yun glanced at Cang Yan and said with a chuckle, "That … Senior Cang Yan, why don't you give me a sword too? Elder Jian Ge likes to collect swords, right?"
Hearing Yi Yun's words, Cang Yan's beard slanted, "Kid, you are reaching for a yard after taking an inch. You are not even at the Yuan foundation realm, yet you have two sage-ranked weapons. Aren't you afraid of being targeted by others? With your current strength, you will not be able to use the full power of a sage-ranked saber or sword! "
Cang Yan said unhappily. Saying this, he changed the topic and said, "Hmph, if you can win, so what if I give you a good sword? Not to mention that old kid Jian Ge's collection, even the sword Jian Ge uses in his book, I will snatch it for you!"
This battle concerned the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's honor. Although a sage-ranked saber or sword was precious, it was nothing to Yi Yun as a reward.
But Cang Yan also knew that it would not be easy for Yi Yun to defeat any one of those experts, or to win five matches consecutively!
If Yi Yun did well, they would definitely send experts to end Yi Yun's winning streak once they realized that Yi Yun's strength was superb.
Hearing Cang Yan's guarantee, Yi Yun smiled, "Then this junior thanks Senior Cang Yan."
Seeing Yi Yun's smiling face, Cang Yan rolled his eyes. This kid even thanked him. Did he think that the saber or sword was already in his hands?
With that, Yi Yun followed Cang Yan to the arena. The overall group finals were about to begin!
Yi Yun came to the contestant benches. Chu Xiaoran was also there. Only Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran were qualified to participate in the Tai Ah Divine City's overall group finals.
However, Chu Xiaoran's strength could not be counted on. Basically, only Yi Yun could fight.
Looking at his opponents, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's final group had gathered 15 people!
Other than the weakest group that lost in the young adult division and was eliminated, none of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's people were missing.
After experiencing the young adult division finals, they were still full?
Yi Yun was stunned and asked Chu Xiaoran beside him, "Xiaoran, isn't there a young adult division finals before the overall group finals? Our Tai Ah Divine City sent Yao Dao and Yang Qian to fight. Both of them are very strong, but none of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's people were defeated? "
Hearing Yi Yun's question, Chu Xiaoran gave a wry smile and said, "The one who attacked was that fatty in yellow. He is proficient in illusion techniques. Yang Qian did not understand the situation and was hit by the fatty's illusion technique, resulting in his defeat."
"As for Yao Dao, his situation is much better. He used his saber intent to break the fatty's illusion technique and slashed the fatty three times. Although the fatty managed to avoid his vital points, he still injured the fatty quite badly."
"But that fatty is older than Yao Dao and his cultivation level is higher. He used a gourd of strange smoke, called the Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke. This smoke is very strange and can be used to set up an illusion enchantment. Yao Dao could not maintain absolute lucidity in the Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke Array, so he was eventually defeated by the fatty in yellow."
"Illusion techniques?" Yi Yun was surprised. He never expected that someone could use illusion techniques as an attack.
This was similar to the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's ability.
When Yi Yun first met the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, he was hit by the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's illusion technique and nearly fell off the cliff.
Yao Dao was a very strong saber user. Although he was not as good as Qin Haotian or Li Xiao, he was not someone who could be easily defeated. For a saber user like Yao Dao who focused on the saber, his martial arts beliefs were usually very firm.
But even so, he was still hit by the fatty's illusion technique. From this, it could be seen that the fatty in yellow was indeed outstanding.
Yi Yun subconsciously looked towards the Yun Long Divine Kingdom team and met the gaze of the yellow-clothed fatty.
The fatty in yellow was leaning on a chair with one hand holding his chin. He looked at Yi Yun with interest. His gaze was like a hunter looking at his prey.
"Interesting."
The fatty in yellow chuckled. Yesterday, he had met the one-armed cloaked man again. And this time, the one-armed cloaked man had offered a higher price for the fatty in yellow to cripple Yi Yun.
The fatty in yellow was proficient in illusion techniques. Illusion techniques were mental attacks. A person's soul was very weak, so once it was injured, it was very difficult to treat.
Hence, when it came to mental attacks, it was very easy to injure others, and it was easy to cause a backlash.
In the illusion world, it was not difficult to cause permanent damage to the opponent's soul.
The fatty in yellow did not care who the one-armed cloaked man was, but the price he offered was very tempting. Hence, he did not mind doing it in passing. After all, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom and the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom were enemies.
"This fatty has his eyes on me!"
Yi Yun frowned slightly. At this moment, the fatty's Yuan Qi transmission rang in Yi Yun's ears, "I will be the first to fight. Did you ask the girl beside you about me? I advise you to find out clearly. If not, you might not even know how you died. "
Hearing the fatty's words, Yi Yun was stunned. He pinched his eyebrows and gave a helpless expression. This fatty really thought too highly of himself.
"I've asked around. I heard that you know illusions. I'm quite afraid."
"Oh?"
The fatty's eyebrows pricked up. His fat body immediately sat up straight. He stared at Yi Yun from more than a hundred feet away.
He stared at Yi Yun for more than ten seconds before he suddenly laughed, "A newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger. Who gave you such courage?"
The fatty in yellow's cultivation level was at the peak of the mid-stages of the Yuan foundation realm. He was just short of entering the late-stages of the Yuan foundation realm.
During the competition, the yellow-clothed fatty's cultivation level would be suppressed to the early stages of the Yuan foundation realm due to the age difference. However, his illusions would not be suppressed. The illusions cast by an early-stage Yuan foundation realm cultivation level would not be too different.
This was also the source of the fatty's confidence.
He was not good at actual combat, but he could make enemies who were good at actual combat unable to use their skills.
This was where the fatty's ability came from.
Yi Yun could not be bothered with the fatty. He began to meditate. As he digested the insights he gained from the sword tomb, he adjusted his breathing, allowing himself to reach his best condition before the competition.
And at this moment, the Tai Ah Divine City's referee had already walked onto the Divine Wilderness Stage. The overall group competition had officially begun!
