Chapter 1 Huyan Yu

“Huyan Yu, a strong attack-type [Long Yue] ability awakener, a once-in-a-decade genius of the Huyan family in Jiu Ning District.”

The top four battle on the arena was in the preparation stage.

Below the stage, both adjudicators were staring at the match between Huyan Yu and Qi He.

Qi He rarely spoke first, saying, "If there are no accidents, Huyan Yu will take the top spot in this 'Recruitment Trial'."

He looked at Huyan Yu, his eyes clearly showing admiration.

After entering the top sixteen, the opponents became stronger and stronger, but Huyan Yu's performance in each battle was even better than before!

This was indeed a rare genius!

“[Long Yue] ability... it is indeed very rare.”

Xie Zheng sized up Huyan Yu, who was wearing white training clothes, and calmly pointed this out.

The upper limit of [Long Yue] is A-level ability. The path of cultivation for this ability is very bumpy and requires a lot of hardship, but once it grows, its strength has a very high upper limit.

Before the arena, the two young men followed Changye's dueling rules, first announcing their names, then bowing to each other, and only then would they begin their duel.

So Xie Zhengyu simply didn't use the sealed object. "He... is uninteresting."

Huyan's [Purgatory] is a fire element domain, but the icy voice at this moment made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The position where the tip of the knife passed was actually shattering even the void. Xie Zhengyu also saw the clue.

Where did this transcendent get the sealed object from?

The illusory winds drawn out by Xie Zhengyu's wristband swirled around the white folding knife, but the folding knife cut through them like flowing water.

Xin Fang indifferently withdrew her gaze. What was originally a congratulatory remark was met with rudeness; this Jiu Ning was indeed a freak, lacking even the most basic conversational skills.

"Qi He, you are just an orphan from Qinghe District, where did you get this kind of sinister object from?"

Because he observed carefully enough, patiently enough. He stared at Xie Zhengyu's right hand.

Boom! "Tell you clearly in advance, my next attack will be very heavy."

Qi He repeatedly predicted Xie Zhengyu's predictions.

Xie Zhengyu's pent-up anger became even more frenzied at this moment. He roared as he raised his head, his scarlet eyes locked onto Qi He.

With a muffled "bang"!

Xin Fang leaned over to dodge Xie Zhengyu's attack, and then slammed a fist hard into the opponent's lower abdomen.

"The forbidden Xin Fangchen possesses a calamitous aura, containing a large amount of ominous omens."

The moment the folding knife appeared.

The expression of the young man in white training clothes suddenly turned cold, and his fist speed suddenly decreased.

"Boom!"

For a time, the afterimages of the two young men on the arena swirled and flew.

It was just that he had been observing "Xie Zhengyu" for a long time. Before the start of this duel, he was observing this opponent with the weakest overall aura. A qualified mental type had to avoid direct confrontation with a strong attack type, so he chose to stand in the corner of the arena furthest from Xie Zhengyu, and when the opponent adopted a fighting stance, he was ready to meet the challenge.

Xin Fang, sitting in the vice-chair, narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face became solemn.

"Indeed."

The strong wind on the arena completely dissipated in an instant, and Xie Zhengyu's punched fist, as well as the palm holding the white folding knife, were simultaneously clenched.

What an impolite person!

Huyan frowned when he heard this. What do you mean by this, would *not* choose Xie Zhengyu? It was as if he was choosing goods, and he had chosen inferior goods!

The moment Xie Zhengyu disappeared, he jumped up, stepping on the railing at the edge of the arena.

Huyan said indifferently: "The Xie Zheng family is considered a medium-sized family in Si Ning District. The head of our family greeted me in advance..."

The head of the family told himself.

After greeting and tightening the headband, Xie Zhengyu gave Qi He eight seconds to admit defeat, and then he took the lead and stepped forward.

Saving energy naturally leads to slower speed.

Qi He was not greedy for victory. He immediately retreated after throwing a punch. He knew that this fight would be very difficult, but after the mental attack took effect, the scales of victory had already tilted in his favor!

Just as Xie Zhengyu was about to lose patience.

The Seven Great Families are high above, but Dongzhou is so vast, and it is impossible for people to only have the surnames Gu, Bai, Gong, Mu, Li... There are a large number of affiliated families in the Jiangbei area, and the Xie Zheng family is one of the Gong family's affiliated families, considered a local gentry in Si Ning District.

"Whoosh!"

This sentence was half congratulatory and half to ease the atmosphere. Gu Lu Shen.

In his opinion, Qi He's performance was meaningless... In terms of strength, Xie Zhengyu had an overwhelming advantage.

On the other side, Jiu Ning became more and more fond of him: "Tsk, this kid is really interesting."

He did not look at Xie Zhengyu, but stared at Qi He who had drawn out the folding knife and was pouring in mental energy.

If he could become a disciple of that Changye adjudicator, his fate would undergo tremendous changes. The Xie Zheng family's power was not considered great. Perhaps they still had some say in Si Ning District, but if they were placed in Changye, it could only be said that their influence was minimal. Even if the head of the family and that Xin Fang adjudicator were considered friends, there was no way to send himself into the adjudication office with just a few words.

It was all to make the Huyan adjudicator think highly of himself!

So Qi He already had "foreknowledge" of Xie Zhengyu's actions.

He practiced physical skills hard in the Qinghe District training camp every day. So after entering the top eighteen, he fought harder than the previous match!

Lose?

The next moment, Xie Zhengyu had already appeared in front of him.

To win against an opponent like Xin Fangyu, you must ensure that the mental attack is effective.

"Bang!"

Today's recruitment trial will have a "big shot" coming for him-

Qi He's speed was actually not slow.

Instead, Jiu Ning grinned as he watched. The arena was only seventy meters long and wide.

Every punch and kick he practiced was guided by local famous teachers!

Huyan couldn't wait to start the trial now and get as far away from this Jiu Ning as possible.

"Don't worry, I won't choose 'Xie Zhengyu'."

After confirming that there were no contradictions or conflicts, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and opened his mouth with a smile: "This young man named Xin Fang does have good mental strength. He can be called a dark horse for making it to the top seven. To be favored by you, he is also a lucky person."

Jiu Ning had no friends in the Adjudication Office.

There was once a very famous [Long Yue] cultivator in Changye.

It was precisely because he knew that mental types were naturally physically weak that he worked so hard.

This trial, he must go all out to achieve the best results.

The adjudicator's domain enveloped the arena.

The Adjudication Office's "Recruitment Trial" does not prohibit the use of sealed objects, but there are too few sealed objects that low-level transcendents can use. Either they cannot bear the demands of the sealed object on the physical body, or they cannot expend enough mental energy, so at most they use some simple "extraordinary ancient text drawings."

This was why Huyan had deliberately come to the recruitment trial today.

But the other party was like a rat covered in oil, predicting his actions in advance through mental energy, and he couldn't catch him no matter what!

"Alright, since you don't understand, there's no need for you to say more to me, wasting your breath."

Qi He stepped on the arena and flew into the air, then hung upside down and chopped down with a fierce kick.

This was indeed a good seedling.

To win, you must reach your limit! Xie Zhengyu shook his hand.

This scene made Huyan frown.

His speed was clearly faster than Qi He.

Indeed. "Si Ning, Xie Zhengyu."

"Buzz!"

Today, he unexpectedly met a colleague from the Adjudication Office. If there was a real dispute, it would be troublesome. No one liked trouble, and Huyan was no exception.

For a time, the wind rose in the arena.

Qi He just silently stared at his opponent.

It was just that after reporting their names, neither side was in a hurry to take action.

"Running away, putting the cart before the horse."

He leaped forward, a flying kick. This time, he still only swept across an afterimage. Qi He borrowed the force to roll and leaped out. He once again relied on the "mental power" to capture and dodge Xie Zhengyu's duel... The whistling wind on the arena continued, Xie Zhengyu's expression was clear, constantly capturing Qi He's landing point on the arena, but the specialty of the mental transcendent was brought into play at this moment.

It was just that the previous battles were resolved very easily. This punch made Xie Zhengyu cough violently and bend over.

Xie Zheng shifted his head: "So this is the 'disciple' you want to choose? It seems you already have someone in mind."

This punch, containing the terrifying power of the sealed object, Qi He didn't have time to dodge. Everything happened too fast. In the blink of an eye, the young man, whose mind was tense to the extreme, directly pulled out a folding knife from his waist.

Xie Zhengyu's pupils shrank slightly. He quickly raised his head, but caught a glimpse of an afterimage.

If you want to participate in the Adjudication Office's recruitment trial, physical contact is inevitable.

It was still a cannon punch, but this time the cannon punch was much slower than before... Perhaps because Xie Zhengyu knew that this punch would not hit, he was saving energy.

Sure enough, no matter how good the plan is before the battle, unexpected problems will always arise in its implementation.

And the chairman's seat was empty. "Boom!"

"Shila!"

The audience burst into exclamations.

Qi He leaned slightly against the railing, still silent.

At this moment, his left leg was constantly trembling.

But with Huyan's current status, apart from the Seven Great Families, he does not need to rely on any family.

Xin Fangyu took out a white ribbon from his waist and tied it around his forehead as a headband. He glanced at the stage and saw the adjudicator Xin Fang looking at him with appreciation, and took a deep breath.

The Adjudication Office's internal rankings are listed according to strength, although the two largest factions are no longer there... But there are still relationships between teachers and disciples, intricate and complex.

"I will take this Xie Zhengyu as a disciple." "Qinghe, Qi He."

Xin Fangyu shouted happily. He only felt as if dozens of needles had pierced into his mind.

Huyan made such an expressionless evaluation. "Brother Huyan,"

Jiu Ning waved his hand after hearing this. He smiled and said: "The one I value is another one."

That was the reason he had deliberately come to the recruitment trial today.

But the Xie Zheng family's "greeting" was just a perfunctory exchange of pleasantries.

Even if he left the Eight Offices now, he could still live a carefree life and go to the Seven Great Families' ancestral halls to serve as an enshrined and a surname-less elder.

"How should I put it, this young man has white threads wrapped around him."

His fist was a little numb.

No one knew that he had already comprehended the operating rules of the breathing technique and had begun to learn how to rationally use his mental power.

"???" The smile on Huyan's face froze a little.

His mind had repeatedly imitated the upcoming battle countless times, and he had his own solutions for any situation that might arise.

Huyan appeared instantly, blocking between the two young men. A wisp of mental energy pierced into Xie Zhengyu's mind.

He had come to the dojo today just to see what the legendary Xie Zheng family's "good seedling" was like. If his strength was insufficient, he would not deliberately waste his dojo's apprenticeship quota for the sake of that favor.

This punch missed!

Jiu Ning was not competing with himself, which was not a bad thing. He interrogated expressionlessly.

The [Long Yue]'s early stage cannot make the whole body as strong as iron.

He really didn't want to say anything more to Jiu Ning. This match was no exception.

The recruitment trial itself does not only look at victory or defeat. The adjudicator's personal presence naturally places more emphasis on performance in battle.

Xin Fang noticed that Jiu Ning's gaze was also on the stage, so she slowly opened her mouth: "I have an agreement with the Xie Zheng family beforehand... Junior Brother Jiu Ning is not going to compete with me."

Qi He was very sure that the wristband worn on Xie Zhengyu's right wrist was a sealed object.

A dignified Changye adjudicator.

Relying on instinct, Xie Zhengyu, who raised his arm to block, successfully stopped the inverted chop. He slammed a punch upwards, and Qi He used his knee to counter the punch, borrowing the force of the downward pressure to eject. Thus, the two figures separated again and exchanged their initial positions.

Those who were recruited into the dojo with such transcendent beings, who were truly able to bring out a pile of sealed objects at the initial level, would definitely be "rich young masters" from extremely wealthy families, and could contribute more or less to the Adjudication Office.

"How should I say it to you, this young man has white threads wrapped around him."

His fist was a little numb.

No one knew that he had already comprehended the operating rules of the breathing technique and had begun to learn how to rationally use his mental power.

"???" The smile on Huyan's face froze a little.

Thus, the two figures separated again and exchanged their initial positions.

Each match of this recruitment trial, he had carefully watched. The strength of this Huyan Yu was indeed very strong. He was simply not on the same level as the other trial participants. However, his attacks were a bit too ruthless. The preliminary rounds were fine, but after the top sixteen, each of Huyan Yu's opponents lost very badly.

Xie Zhengyu began to practice physical skills with his father at the age of eight, soaking his body in medicinal liquid every day to recover, and even having transcendent Xin Fangchen help him heal his spirit.

In his seventeen years of life, there was no such word as defeat! But now he felt that Xin Fangyu's performance had exceeded his expectations.

Because he spoke... neither politely nor euphemistically. Although the Xie Zheng family was only an affiliated family of the Seven Great Families, it was still a "family" after all.

He liked this young man's fighting style very much.

Xie Zhengyu tightened the headband on his forehead and slowly exhaled the long breath: "You may not have noticed the previous matches. Those who fought against me all lost very badly. If you don't want to get hurt... I suggest you jump off the arena and admit defeat now."

But "Ah ah ah!"

The Xie Zheng family's "greeting" was just a perfunctory exchange of pleasantries.

Even if he left the Eight Offices now, he could still live a carefree life and go to the Seven Great Families' ancestral halls to serve as an enshrined and a surname-less elder.

That folding knife was pitch black, and after injecting mental energy, it emitted a palpitating, dark white color.

Each word was both a judgment and a decision. "Sort of."

In the early stage, if you can take out a pile of sealed objects, it must be an extremely wealthy "rich family son." Recruiting such a transcendent into the dojo can contribute more or less to the Adjudication Office.

"What should I say, that kid is tangled with white threads..."
My fist is numb

No one knows, I have comprehended the operation rule of the breathing method and started to learn to use my own spiritual energy

"???" Huyan's smile solidified

There are countless times in my mind to imitate the upcoming battle, no matter what situation, I have my own processing plan

Huyan appeared in an instant and blocked between the two youths. A wisp of mental energy stabbed into Xie Zhengyu's mind

I came to the dojo today just to see what level the legendary Xie Zheng family "good seedling" is. If the strength is not good, I will not deliberately waste my dojo's apprenticeship quota for the sake of this favor.

This punch was empty!

It’s not bad that Jiu Ning didn’t compete with me. He interrogated expressionlessly
