“Something seems off. Since the winner has been decided, it should have opened long ago.”
“Could it be because those juniors did not use the Dragon Taming Curse Talisman?”
“Is that why the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform has undergone such a change?”
While gazing at the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform, some elders of the Holy Light Clan began communicating secretly through voice transmission.
They had controlled the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform for many years. In fact, they had long sent juniors inside to train, attempting to seize the inherited martial techniques of the Storm Mad Clan.
Moreover, their understanding of the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform was far deeper than what appeared on the surface.
This was why Holy Light Xuanye had been so certain earlier that the juniors who had not appeared in the world were already dead.
Yet the current situation left even the Holy Light Clan somewhat baffled.
They had never witnessed anything like this before.
“Grandfather, let me go in.”
Holy Light Yu walked to Holy Light Xuanye’s side.
His words were also transmitted secretly.
“Little Yu.”
“I am not afraid of letting the world know the extent of our clan’s control over this Storm Fighting Dragon Platform.”
“But I worry that the black-clothed youth fights without holding back and might injure you.”
“After all, once you enter, we will have no way to protect you.”
“So, do you have absolute confidence that you can defeat him?”
Holy Light Xuanye asked Holy Light Yu.
“Grandfather, rest assured. I will never disappoint you.”
Holy Light Yu promised.
“As a junior of the Holy Light Clan, you should indeed step forward at this moment. Go ahead.”
“However, Little Yu, do not be reckless. If the situation turns bad, return immediately.”
“Losing is not a big deal, but you must preserve your life. Understand?”
As Holy Light Xuanye spoke, he took out a talisman paper from his Cosmos Sack and handed it to Holy Light Yu.
After receiving the talisman, Holy Light Yu formed a special hand seal. The talisman then fused into his palm. The paper vanished, leaving only the runes from the talisman imprinted on his palm like a tattoo.
Clearly, this was an escape talisman that would allow him to flee from inside the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform.
However, after the escape talisman merged into his palm, Holy Light Yu’s expression changed.
He looked at his palm again and discovered a dark red pill there.
The pill had been passed to him by his grandfather along with the escape talisman.
As a member of the Holy Light Clan, how could Holy Light Yu not recognise what this dark red pill was?
This was a special forbidden medicine. It could greatly enhance battle power, and the effects lasted an extremely long time.
The method of use was also unique. Ordinary forbidden medicines required ingestion, but this one would fuse with the body simply by crushing it into powder.
If used in advance, others often would not detect that battle power had been boosted by forbidden medicine. It was a forbidden drug that preserved one’s reputation.
However, as with all forbidden medicines, there were side effects. Even this extremely valuable one was no exception.
Once the effects wore off, excruciating torment awaited.
Yet Holy Light Yu immediately crushed the forbidden pill.
As it shattered, the power of the medicine surged into his body.
Outwardly, Holy Light Yu appeared unchanged, but his battle power had already increased tremendously.
“Grandfather, please rest assured. Your grandson will never let you down.”
After using the forbidden medicine, Holy Light Yu cupped his fist towards Holy Light Xuanye.
He understood his grandfather’s intention. Since he was going to act, he had to win. Otherwise, the one who would lose face would not be just Holy Light Yu himself, but the entire Holy Light Clan. This was why his grandfather had given him the forbidden medicine.
As for Holy Light Xuanye, he nodded first. Then, having been seated on the viewing platform, he suddenly stood up.
As the strongest in the Holy Light Galaxy, Holy Light Xuanye’s actions always drew everyone’s attention. The moment he rose, many gazes turned to him.
Even the previously noisy realm fell unusually quiet at this moment.
Everyone watched Holy Light Xuanye in silence and reverence. They knew this strongest figure in the Holy Light Galaxy had something to say.
“Everyone, this strongest junior hegemony competition was prepared for the juniors of our Holy Light Galaxy.”
“Its purpose is to discover more outstanding juniors, thereby protecting and nurturing them, so they may become the pillars of our Holy Light Galaxy in the future.”
“The reason the juniors of my Holy Light Clan did not participate is to give more juniors the chance to display themselves.”
“Yet now, a junior from another galaxy has come here to cause trouble. The nature of this competition has completely changed.”
“I announce that the rankings for this strongest junior hegemony competition are as follows.”
“First place: Dragon Clan, Long Xiaoxiao.”
“Second place: Yu Heavenly Clan, Yu Lie.”
“Third place: Cloudsky Immortal Sect, Yin Daifen.”
“Fourth place: Cloudsky Immortal Sect, Fu Feiyue.”
“Fifth place: Yu Heavenly Clan, Yu Hong.”
“Sixth place: Yu Heavenly Clan, Yu Yin.”
“Seventh place: Myriad Demons Sacred Hall, Bao Yue.”
“Eighth place: Myriad Demons Sacred Hall, Kui Wudi.”
“Ninth place: Imperial Wind Sect, Jiang Changkong.”
“Tenth place: Yin Dao Mansion, Yin Buyu.”
The rankings Holy Light Xuanye announced were exactly the order of strength from the recent spars among the juniors, excluding the black-clothed youth.
Everyone had witnessed the spars personally. Even without his announcement, people knew these rankings. But once he declared them, they became official and indisputable.
“As for that outsider, he is not from our Holy Light Galaxy and had no qualification to participate in the strongest junior hegemony competition. Therefore, regardless of his strength, he will receive neither rewards nor recognition.”
“In principle, our Holy Light Galaxy is renowned for its benevolence. Even though he came to disrupt things, we might not punish him, merely disqualify him.”
“However, this young man is utterly vile. Not only did he disrupt the event, he openly insulted the juniors of our Holy Light Galaxy, showing complete disregard for it.”
“If we do not teach him a lesson, he will surely become even more rampant in the future, and our Holy Light Galaxy will invite criticism.”
“Therefore, I announce that the strongest junior hegemony competition ends here. Next, a junior from my clan, Holy Light Yu, will teach that arrogant outsider a lesson.”
After saying this, Holy Light Xuanye looked at Holy Light Yu behind him.
“Little Yu, are you ready?”
“Reporting to Grandfather, I can hardly wait to teach that arrogant thing a lesson.”
Holy Light Yu cupped his fists with both hands, his face full of determination.
“Hm…”
Holy Light Xuanye nodded in satisfaction, then gave a signal to an elder behind him.
Immediately after, under that elder’s leadership, a total of eighteen elders from the Holy Light Clan stepped forward. Each took out a treasure.
The moment the treasures appeared, they caught everyone’s eye.
They were eighteen identical iron artefacts, and they emitted the same aura as the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform.
Clearly, these treasures were related to the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform, very likely relics left by the Storm Mad Clan.
Buzz.
As expected, the eighteen elders began using the treasures to set up a formation.
The formation started independently, but once complete, a beam of light shot out from it, heading straight towards the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform.
The boundary of the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform reacted to the beam. The boundary was actually opening.
It was evident that the formation arranged by the Holy Light Clan elders could connect with the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform.
Seeing this, everyone understood how Holy Light Yu would enter the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform.
Although people had long known that the Holy Light Clan might have some control over it, no one had expected their control to reach this extent.
They could actually bypass the boundary entirely and use treasures to teleport a junior directly inside.
But such details no longer mattered. Now, people only hoped Holy Light Yu would thoroughly teach the black-clothed youth a lesson.
Once the formations fully connected, Holy Light Yu wasted no words. He drew his golden longsword and stepped into the formation. Following the beam linking the formations, he headed straight towards the peak in the Storm Fighting Dragon Platform!!!
