Immediately after that, Qiu Liang lit up his battle sword, the weapon he used was a sword.
The grade of the battle sword, Pseudo-God grade.
“Victory or defeat is based on strength, so let’s fight.”Lin Yun calmly said.
“Eight Sect Blade Technique!”
“Take that!”
Qiu Liang used the speed secret he had cultivated, his speed erupting steeply as his battle blade tore through the air and killed Lin Yun.
At the same time, out of his Level 5 Divine Sense, it also immediately manifested.
Zi Zi.
His battle sword, in an instant, seemed to be wrapped in countless water droplets.
The water droplets connected into threads, and their power increased steeply!
This was the Water Upanishad Prototype!
Under the Water Upanishad Prototype’s enchantment, Qiu Liang’s attacks suddenly had a powerful boost.
Qiu Liang was able to rush to the point where he was fighting Lin Yun for first place in the group, relying on his Water Upanishad Prototype.
Qiu Liang’s ability to get a Grade A rating relied on this Water Upanishad fledgling as well!
With this move, he could easily win against an enemy of the same realm without an Upanishad fledgling.
In addition, the sword technique he cultivated, the speed secret book he cultivated, and the extreme body refining technique of the second rank he cultivated, all of them were used.
In short, facing Lin Yun, Qiu Liang directly lit up his ministry’s means.
These means, compared to those cultivators of the same realm outside, were indeed very much more powerful, so there were no weaklings in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“There’s no point in being abrasive, so let’s be direct.”
The fifth stance of the Xuanxian Sword Technique!
Seventh level Black Flame Decision!
Phantom Misty Art!
Wind Upanishad fledgling!
Spirit level first stage divine sense!
In an instant, Lin Yun directly revealed a large number of his own means.
As for divine sense, Lin Yun had only suppressed his divine sense level to the first rank of the spirit level.
Against this Qiu Liang, it was completely sufficient.
Under the sword, the wind instantly swirled around.
The red-blooded sword not only had the fluctuations of the wind, but also the powerful fluctuations of divine sense.
Clang clang clang!
The two instantly turned into phantoms and exchanged blows.
Just an instant into the battle, Qiu Liang was knocked backwards.
Qiu Liang instantly felt great pressure, as if he was going to be unable to hold on at any moment!
A moment later.
“I …… admit defeat!”
Qiu Liang also shouted that he would admit defeat.
Under so many of Lin Yun’s tactics, he couldn’t hold out after all.
Only then did Lin Yun stop when he heard this.
“Hoo…… hoo……”
Qiu Liang panted heavily.
Although it was only a moment of engagement, his forehead was already covered in beads of sweat.
The oppression that Lin Yun had just brought to him made him feel breathless, as if he didn’t call out to stop, Lin Yun would be able to take his life with a sword at any time.
Weapons, sword techniques, divine sense, means ……, Lin Yun was completely ahead of him in every aspect.
“Understood.”Lin Yun still clasped his fists.
After all, this was just a competition organised by the sect, win or lose, there was no need for Lin Yun to turn the tables on them.
“Senior brother Lin Yun, I have to admit that you’re very strong! The Heavenly Sword Sect really is a gathering place for geniuses, I’ve never even met an opponent as strong as you before amongst my peers, but here, even amongst the newcomers of this term, I’m not even qualified to be ranked in the top ten.”Qiu Liang sighed.
They were all from the same batch that entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he was now calling Lin Yun senior brother, clearly convinced of Lin Yun’s strength, and that those who could do it were the ones who could do it.
“Senior brother overpraise, you’re not weak either, you’ve already forced me to use my Spirit level divine sense, Aoi fledgling, you’re the bright type even within this Heavenly Sword Sect, plus you’re mastering a kind of Aoi fledgling, in the future stepping into the Harmonisation realm isn’t a difficult task, so you can be considered to have a bright future.”Lin Yun said.
Immediately afterwards, the deacon on the stage announced that Lin Yun had won, and had come out first in his group, while Qiu Liang had come out second in his group, and had managed to enter the promotion tournament.
Lin Yun’s battle as the big favourite had also gained the attention of many of the new disciples and old disciples watching the battle present.
“Lin Yun finally used his divine sense in a real battle, it’s really a Spirit rank one! When he was at the Star Stage, he was able to win against Ximen Pu by relying on this Spirit Level 1st Stage divine sense!”
“Only in his twenties, to reach Spirit level divine sense, it’s truly bullish!”
“Even though Lin Yun won this battle, he’s already used his great means of Spirit rank one divine sense and the fledgling form of Wind Upanishad, so if he meets up with a formidable enemy later on, what else can he do?”
……
Judges’ table.
“No, Lin Yun is deliberately suppressing his divine sense!”A green-robed elder said.
“I felt it too.”Mei Gu also nodded.
Lin Yun was deliberately suppressing his realm, and those whose divine sense realms were lower than Lin Yun’s would naturally find it difficult to detect.
But these elders, whose divine sense realms were all higher than Lin Yun’s, naturally felt that Lin Yun was suppressing his divine sense realm.
But they couldn’t feel what Lin Yun’s exact divine sense realm was.
“If I remember correctly, when this brat was at the second level of the initiation test, against Feng Tianlong, the gatekeeper disciple, the divine sense realm he used was at the second stage of the Spirit level, what’s the point of suppressing it by such a level when he’s suppressing it to the first stage of the Spirit level now?”Mei Gu was puzzled.
Elder Cui also nodded “Usually when you suppress a realm, you want to use your true realm when fighting a strong enemy to achieve the effect of surprise, him suppressing the divine sense realm by one level really isn’t very useful and won’t achieve the effect.”
They didn’t know that Lin Yun had long since ceased to be at the second level of the Spirit Stage after these half a year!
……
As the last match of each group ended, with 21 groups, the group stage was declared to have come to an end.
Those who ranked first and second in the group stage began the advancement rounds with a total of 42 people.
Liu Changtian, Ximen Pu, Dali Yuantai, Mo Qing, and all of these, naturally appeared with ease with a dazzling first place in the group.
Those who ranked last two in the group stage entered the elimination round.
The first to be held was the promotion match, which was truly the most fascinating highlight.
At this point, the match hadn’t even started yet, everyone went forward to draw lots, and those who came first in the group stage, drew the opponents who came second out of the group to play against each other.
This was arranged to avoid the most powerful ones meeting in this round.
This was undoubtedly a challenge for those who came out second in the group, which was also a disadvantage of appearing second in the group.
Lin Yun drew a cultivator named ‘Gu Teng’.
After the draw, the promotion match kicked off.
The first to take the court was Ximen Pu, who exploded with strength and easily swept through his opponent to advance to the next round, earning the admiration of the old and new disciples who were present to watch the battle.
Next, one match followed another.
It was soon Lin Yun’s turn to take the stage.
Lin Yun used the same tactics he had used against ‘Qiu Liang’ before to deal with this opponent called ‘Gutian’ and easily won the match.
After the first round of the promotion tournament, the top 21 were also decided.
As for the 21 people who lost, they would also have another separate match later on to determine the 22-42 ranking.
The 21 people who had won, once again drew lots, one person’s turn to directly advance to the next round, leaving 20 people to compete.
Lin Yun knew that next, it would no longer be a particularly easy fight.
This was because the opponents that he would encounter next would be stronger, and it was even possible that he would directly encounter Ximen Pu, Dali Yuantai, or Mo Qing in the meantime.
At the draw stage, twenty-one people were gathered here.
Liu Changtian was naturally among them.
“Let me draw Lin Yun!”Liu Changtian drew his lot and silently prayed.
He was now looking forward to defeating Lin Yun with his own hands and personally trampling him under his feet in the ring, in front of the five Elders and over two thousand new and old disciples present!
Immediately after that, Liu Changtian reached out and drew a lot.
