The result was that Lin Yun easily killed Shu Chi, something they never dreamt of!
Outside the arena.
“Lin Yun is so cool! I said Shu Chi was asking for death, he had no idea how ruthless Lin Yun’s moves are!” Mu Ji’s beautiful eyes sparkled, cheering for Lin Yun.
“Shu Chi is really dead!” Old Black was visibly excited.
Having witnessed his enemy’s death, he naturally felt an indescribable relief.
Mo Bai, also watching the arena, couldn’t help but sigh, “Lin Yun’s growth rate is truly astonishing.”
After all, Lin Yun had only been in the ancestral land for a short time and had already reached this level.
On the other side.
“This guy actually…”
Guang Tiancheng’s eyes widened, staring in shock at Lin Yun’s figure in the arena.
His heart surged with overwhelming waves.
He had clearly seen the moment Lin Yun killed Shu Chi!
He never dreamt that Lin Yun had already reached the Heavenly Mysterious Realm.
Only then did he realise why Lin Yun dared to participate in the Heavenly Fire Trial, why he dared to make a bet with him.
With the strength of the Heavenly Mysterious Realm, he was fully qualified to compete.
“Commander Guang, this guy hid it well, he’s already at the Heavenly Saint Realm, no wonder he dared to step into the arena!” one of Guang Tiancheng’s subordinates exclaimed.
“It was indeed beyond my expectations, but his promise was to reach the top ten, which is still quite challenging,” Guang Tiancheng said, looking at the arena.
Although Lin Yun was in the Heavenly Saint Realm, there were at least dozens of others at the same level in the competition.
Guang Tiancheng knew that five hundred years ago, Lin Yun was still at the Dominant Realm. Now, having reached the Heavenly Saint Realm, it meant he hadn’t been at this level for long, so his foundation couldn’t be that strong. How could he compete with those who had been in the Heavenly Saint Realm for much longer?
To reach the top ten, one had to be among the best in the Heavenly Saint Realm.
He didn’t believe Lin Yun, with such a short time in this realm, could stand out among the Heavenly Saint Realm experts.
…
Shu Chi was the first contestant killed in this Heavenly Fire Trial, so the buzz at the scene naturally didn’t die down.
“That guy is not only in the Heavenly Saint Realm, but the weapon he used seems extraordinary, probably a sacred weapon, right?”
“Hmm, very likely!”
…
The onlookers were still discussing.
Lin Yun hadn’t fully unleashed the power of his true sacred weapon, so the crowd didn’t see its real strength.
Moreover, Lin Yun only made one move, not giving the audience much chance to assess the weapon’s quality, but even so, they could tell it was exceptional.
Most didn’t dare to think it was a true sacred weapon, as even among those in the Saint Realm, possessing a sacred weapon was extremely rare.
As for true sacred weapons, even in the Heavenly Realm, only a small fraction could possess them.
How could they imagine that Lin Yun would hold a true sacred weapon?
On the judges’ platform.
“Old Li, is that the person you mentioned?” Elder Jun asked, looking at the arena.
“That’s right, this kid, what do you think? He’s not bad, is he?” Elder Li said with a smile.
Elder Jun nodded, “This guy is ruthless in his actions, the kind who can achieve great things. Our Heavenly Fire Temple needs such fierce people.”
Then Elder Jun’s tone shifted, “However, it’s not surprising that he, in the Heavenly Saint Realm, killed someone in the Mysterious Saint Realm, given the gap in their levels. But if he wants to take the top three, it will still be very difficult.”
“Regardless, this guy came from another star realm only a few hundred years ago and has already reached the Heavenly Saint Realm. That’s already impressive. Even if he doesn’t make the top three this time, he won’t be far off, and he’ll surely secure it in the next trial,” Elder Li said, leaning back in his chair.
In the arena.
After Lin Yun killed Shu Chi, staff immediately came to clear Shu Chi’s body.
For Lin Yun, this was just a minor episode.
Lin Yun turned his gaze back to the centre of the arena.
By now, many contestants had gathered toward the centre.
Fights were breaking out more frequently across the arena, especially under the ten stone pillars, where battles erupted.
The fight for the stone platforms hadn’t even started, yet it was already so intense.
This trial was indeed brutal, as life and death were disregarded, and deadly force was allowed, making many contestants quite nervous.
For Lin Yun, however, the danger here was child’s play compared to the border.
Lin Yun began moving toward the centre but wasn’t in a hurry to seize a stone platform.
At that moment, the first person to rush toward a stone platform appeared.
“This stone platform is mine today, Bi Chaoqun’s!”
With a domineering shout, he leapt onto a ten-metre-high stone platform.
Standing atop it, he unleashed the full aura of the First Heavenly Realm without reservation.
“No wonder he dared to rush to the platform so early, he’s in the First Heavenly Realm,” Lin Yun murmured, looking at him.
According to the rules, only those still standing on the platforms at the end of the trial would be considered winners.
Normally, most would choose to observe first, unwilling to be the first to claim a platform and become a target.
But this Bi Chaoqun dared to be the first, for no other reason than his First Heavenly Realm strength, fearless of any challenge!
Sure enough, after he claimed the ten-metre platform, no one immediately challenged him or tried to knock him down.
Just as he secured one ten-metre platform, another voice rose from the right side of the arena, landing on another ten-metre platform.
“This stone platform is mine!” His tone was equally domineering and sharp, releasing the aura of the First Heavenly Realm!
These two First Heavenly Realm experts had only reached the top ten in the previous Heavenly Fire Trial two thousand years ago, lacking some strength back then. In these two thousand years, they had advanced to the First Heavenly Realm, giving them the confidence to aim for the top three this time.
“Anyone want to challenge me? Come quickly if you do!”
“Those who want to challenge me, come now!”
Both issued challenges to the other contestants in the arena.
But no one responded, and no one showed any intention of challenging them.
Outside the arena.
“As expected, these two First Heavenly Realm experts have claimed two spots.”
“Those two securing two Heavenly Fire Quenching spots is already a foregone conclusion, now only the last spot remains.”
“The fight for that last platform will surely be intense!”
“No matter what, Xuan Ziheng is the most likely to take that last spot.”
“Indeed, below the Heavenly Realm, Xuan Ziheng is nearly unbeatable.”
…
Everyone looked at the last ten-metre platform, discussing and sighing.
