Under the ring.
The disciples stared at the ring with fiery gazes, commenting on the sparring situation with great interest.
“Senior Brother Lin Yun is being beaten back constantly, only able to hold on with his defence, it looks like Lin Yun really isn’t a match for Senior Brother Daniel.”
“After all, senior brother Daniel is too strong, he’s our inner sect’s well-deserved pride of heaven, Lin Yun’s cultivation time is too short, he wants to catch up with senior brother Daniel. I’m afraid it’ll take some more years.”
“Lin Yun is too young after all, even if he loses to senior brother Daniel, it’s not a loss, with the strength he’s shown, he’ll surpass senior brother Daniel sooner or later.”
…… This
level of sparring was also very enjoyable to watch for these inner disciples.
On the ring.
The divine sense of both sides had also been used, Lin Yun was at the first stage of the Heavenly rank, and Daniel was at the fourth stage of the Spirit rank.
This divine sense advantage couldn’t make up for Daniel’s two realm lead, as well as his Five Elements Sword Technique lead.
Because the difference in divine sense wasn’t particularly large, the Divine Destruction Technique wouldn’t be able to bring about much of an effect.
As Lin Yun continued to fall back. Already not far from the edge of the ring, if the fight continued like this, it would be a matter of time before Lin Yun was knocked out of the ring.
“Senior brother Lin Yun. If this is all you’ve got, you don’t stand a chance if you want to win against me.” Daniel said.
“Senior brother Daniel, of course senior brother still has the means!”
“Eighth level of divine magic power, explode!”
Lin Yun’s power skyrocketed.
The strength that Lin Yun had just exploded was the same as when he had beaten Baili Xi and Zhi Jin before.
The seventh gravity of divine magic power was an increase of two hundred per cent in power, while the eighth gravity was an increase of two hundred and fifty per cent, this increase, was very obvious!
Clang!
The Lingxiao Sword, which had a surge in power, had another hard clash with Daniel’s sword.
“Eighth gravity of divine magic power? You’ve actually cultivated the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique to the eighth level?” Daniel was stunned.
Daniel considered himself a genius. He had only cultivated to the fifth gravity.
Among the green-clothed elders of the Sword Sect of the Heavens, the highest of them had only cultivated the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique to the seventh gravity, and the degree of torture involved was truly too terrifying!
The crowd of inner disciples were similarly in an uproar.
“Surprisingly, it’s the eighth level of Divine Demonic Power! He actually had reservations before.”
Just by the fact that Lin Yun was able to cultivate the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique to the eighth gravity, they couldn’t help but admire Lin Yun’s ability.
On the ring.
“Senior brother Lin Yun, although the eighth level of Divine Demonic Power is powerful, it’s still not enough, to completely bridge the gap between us!” Daniel said as he made his moves.
“Then add more to it!”
Demon Bone, exploded!
Lin Yun’s sword-wielding arm, his veins suddenly bulged, and his entire arm instantly turned red.
The strength instantly soared, driving the power of Lin Yun’s Ling Xiao sword to skyrocket!
The swords of the two of them were once again in hard contact.
Boom!!!
Terrifying power, like a volcano erupting, blasted through the weapon at Daniel’s body, and the penetrating effect of the Ling Xiao Sword allowed some of the power to penetrate Daniel’s defences, applying itself to Daniel’s internal organs!
Never underestimate the penetrating effect of the Ling Xiao Sword, in actual combat, it could bring no small amount of trouble to the enemy.
Daniel’s entire body instantly fell back repeatedly. It stomped the ring with a ‘thud’ sound.
“Again!”
Lin Yun rode the wave of victory and attacked Daniel with another sword.
Daniel had already been knocked backwards and was unsteady, facing the attacking Lin Yun. He could only hastily raise his sword to parry.
“Clang!”
Lin Yun’s ferocious attacks were as continuous as a tidal wave, Daniel kept dodging, and when he couldn’t, he could only fend off Lin Yun’s swift attacks.
Daniel’s speed was faster than Lin Yun’s, but in the face of absolute power, it didn’t help.
“The power you have now is even more terrifying than bursting into the ninth level of divine magical power! You guy, how could your power be so terrifying!” Daniel’s face turned white, his heart shocked.
“Senior brother, what other tricks do you have, use them.” Lin Yun spoke as he made his moves.
Daniel wasn’t without any more cards.
But this kind of sparring. It was not possible to use magic weapons, elixirs, and other means, in addition, this was after all a sparring match, and it was impossible for Daniel to do so because of a sparring match. Just break out some costly means.
“Stop, I lost!” Daniel spoke.
Although Lin Yun wasn’t ahead enough to win by direct crushing, and could only take a small lead, if he continued to fight, he would only be dragged to defeat.
Lin Yun immediately closed his hand.
This challenge, the winner was already divided!
The referee on the stage, after a moment of stagnation, hurriedly announced excitedly, ”I declare this challenge, Lin Yun wins! Effective immediately, Lin Yun ascends to the top of the Saint Ranking and is ranked number one on the Saint Ranking!”
The voice resounded through the square.
“This guy, he actually won against Daniel! The number one in the inner sect, changed hands!”
“Worthy of being a demon! This guy is too terrifying! At the same period of time in the Heavenly Sword Sect, it is no longer possible to find any disciple that can suppress him, even comparing to the nearly thousand years of Heavenly Sword Sect’s history, he is still top tier.”
“The last existence of the Heavenly Sword Sect that was so demonic should be the current Patriarch, right?”
The …… stage
was abuzz.
Such a result was out of many people’s expectations!
Lin Yun also used strength. Telling all the disciples of the inner sect that he was a well-deserved demon and that he was a well-deserved number one!
On the ring.
“Senior brother Daniel, I’m sorry.” Lin Yun clasped his fists and saluted.
Lin Yun knew. If this was a real battle, although Lin Yun would be able to gain an advantage, if he wanted to kill Daniel, he was still lacking a bit of strength himself.
Daniel’s Five Elements Sword Technique had all been comprehended up to the fifth style, and his strength, in the third stage of the Empyrean Realm, was considered a good kind.
And there was a big difference between defeating and killing. A Third Order Empyrean Underworld realm’s counterattack at all costs when pushed to the brink would be terrifying.
If it was a real battle, Lin Yun wanted to defeat Daniel. I’m afraid it would be a little more difficult.
“I underestimated you guy, I have to admit that you’re more demonic than me, even though you’re ahead of me in strength by not dog much. But you’re only in your thirties, it’s truly a miracle that you’ve reached this point, in the future. The legend of the Heavenly Sword Sect will be written by you.” Daniel said.
“Senior brother is flattering, senior brother isn’t weak either.” Lin Yun was courteous.
“Don’t be too complacent, you guy, now you finally have a real competitor. From today onwards, I’ll be aiming to catch up with you, so don’t slack off. Watch out for me surpassing you by accident.”
After dropping these words, Daniel jumped right out of the ring and left the square straight away.
Lin Yun couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he watched Daniel’s back as he left.
If it wasn’t for himself, Daniel was indeed the Heavenly Sword Sect’s most outstanding existence at the moment, but of course, if one looked back a few hundred years, there would definitely be ones that were even better than Daniel.
……
The news of Lin
Yun’s ascent to the top of the Sacred Ranking in the Inner Sect quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Sword Sect, including the Outer Sect, and spread wildly at the speed of a plague spreading.
“What? Lin Yun has already topped the inner sect?”
“He really is a demon, how long has it only been since he joined the inner sect and he’s already reached the top?”
…… Everyone
was in awe when they learnt that Lin Yun had topped the Saint Ranking.
Those rivals of Lin Yun’s who used to be in the outer sect were even more emotional when they learnt of this news, and Lin Yun, who had once competed with them for highs and lows, had now reached. A point that was beyond their reach!
