When the Star Poison Sect elder crashed off the platform, the entire venue fell much quieter. Only shocked gazes remained.
This outcome had once again defied everyone’s expectations.
“He… he actually won again?”
“This fellow has truly earned a spot to contest the championship!”
“How… how is he so strong!”
The spectators were all filled with astonishment.
A contestant from a non-top force was going to vie for the championship. How could this not shock everyone?
“He won! Haha, the young master defeated the Star Poison Sect elder!”
An Yun and Zou Dongsheng were overwhelmed with excitement and wild joy.
“Brother Lin Yun is incredible! He has advanced to the finals!”
Dong Jian, Senior Hong Yuan, and Manor Lord Wu Zhuang were equally thrilled.
In the VIP seats ahead.
“The Star Poison Sect elder’s poison seems to have had little effect on this fellow. This young man is becoming increasingly unfathomable.”
“He is truly extraordinary.”
…
The elders from various forces in the VIP seats all sighed in amazement.
Even Fei Yue Jin Jun at the end of the square could not help but marvel. Lin Yun’s performance had far exceeded his imagination, leaving him unable to predict the young man.
As for the young master of the Underworld Palace, his expression grew even darker. He had originally hoped the Star Poison Sect elder would defeat Lin Yun and humiliate him publicly.
“Why! Why?! Why did my poison have no effect!”
The defeated elder, lying below the platform, continued to roar in unwillingness.
When he looked up at Lin Yun on the stage again, his eyes were filled with venomous resentment.
The reason was simple. Lin Yun had shattered his hopes of contending for the Chaos opportunity.
Although they had no prior grudge, this alone was enough to make him harbour deep hatred towards Lin Yun.
At the Dao Alliance headquarters.
“I truly did not expect it to be him who reached the finals.” Even the Dao Alliance leader could not help but sigh deeply.
This result had greatly exceeded his predictions.
“Alliance Leader, could this young man steal the championship from Ji Gu?” the elderly man beside him asked.
“No, he won’t. It is time for our Dao Alliance to have a talk with him.” The Dao Alliance leader said slowly.
In the Ancestral Heart Realm, on Chaos Square.
“Congratulations to Lin Yun for winning this match.”
“Today’s matches conclude here. Tomorrow at ten in the morning, Lin Yun will face Ji Gu of the Void Clan to contest the final championship of the peak tournament!”
“We shall wait and see who claims the ultimate championship!”
The voice of the Wanbao Pavilion Master boomed in announcement.
Amid discussions and sighs of wonder, the spectators began to disperse.
The deepest impression from today’s matches undoubtedly belonged to Lin Yun.
The name “Lin Yun” had, because of today’s events, become thoroughly renowned. Those two words now carried a legendary aura.
Lin Yun returned below the platform and met up with An Yun and Zou Dongsheng.
“Congratulations, young master, on reaching the finals!”
Both were overjoyed as they offered their felicitations.
That Lin Yun had come this far was already far beyond their expectations.
Before arriving, Zou Dongsheng had thought that if Lin Yun could break into the top twenty or even top ten, he would be satisfied. They could wait for the next peak tournament for Lin Yun to contest the championship.
Yet Lin Yun’s performance had been far more dazzling than he had imagined.
“Tomorrow’s match is the most important one. Besides, there are some matters we need to plan. Let us head back first.” Lin Yun said.
Soon after, the three left the square and returned to their residence.
In the main hall of the mansion.
Lin Yun, An Yun, and Zou Dongsheng sat together.
“Young master, your identity is now exposed. The Heavenly Fire Divine Hall will certainly move against you. The Blood Moon Alliance and Underworld Palace are likely to target you as well.” Zou Dongsheng said gravely.
This was an issue they could not ignore.
“If I fail to win the championship tomorrow, then after the event ends, we can escape directly. The supremes of those three major forces will not have time to arrive in person. Without supremes, their teams cannot stop me. If I wish to leave, they cannot hold me.” Lin Yun said.
Then his tone shifted. “But if I succeed in winning the championship, I will enter the Chaos Realm through the Chaos rift. By the time I emerge, their supremes will have plenty of time to arrive and wait for me outside.”
Lin Yun’s goal was to claim the championship. Naturally, he needed to plan carefully how to resolve this problem if he won.
