Volume 1 Chapter 1254 Arrive In Time
At this point in time, Hun Yuan had no other choice. She could only silently hope that Kong Yun would arrive before he went on stage. Otherwise, according to the rules of the Soul Strength Ratio, if a quarter of the incense sticks and martial artists did not appear, they would be considered to have abstained. Even Hun Zhen could not violate this point in front of everyone.
Soul Yuan was thinking in her heart that the battle on the arena had already begun. The first person to appear was a rogue cultivator named Xia Mu. This person"s soul force realm was already at the middle G.o.d King realm. It could be said that he was extremely powerful amongst his peers. His opponent was precisely the strange martial artist from the previous crowd.
"Jie Jie Jie, I advise you to commit suicide, otherwise death at my hands will be very ugly …"
The strange martial artist emitted a gloomy voice that was like a ghost, and his gaze was filled with contempt.
"How dare I be so arrogant?!"
"Who is this? Why haven"t I seen this before?!"
"You will boast, Xia Mu will kill him!"
…
The strange martial artist"s words even aroused the anger of the spectators below the stage, and they all spoke out to crush him.
However, the strange martial artists didn"t seem to care at all. Instead, they enjoyed the angry curses of these people. Standing on the other side of the arena, Xia Mu"s expression was extremely ugly. Although he was not a proud son of heaven, his strength was definitely not low. He was underestimated by others! How could he tolerate it!
"Cut the c.r.a.p, come on!"
Xia Mu roared angrily. His boundless soul power lingered like a giant mountain. Everyone"s eyes were excited as they looked forward to Xia Mu killing that strange martial artist. However, in the next moment, everyone"s eyes became dull.
The corners of the strange martial artist"s lips curled into a dense smile. He clenched his hands tightly on his waist and his soul force began to rise!
"Peak Master G.o.d … Early Divine King … Middle Divine King … Peak Divine King!"
His soul power continued to soar until the strange martial artist at the peak of the Divine King realm revealed a wisp of endless intent, as if this wasn"t a difficult matter for him.
"Jie Jie, since you"re unwilling to commit suicide, then it"s no wonder I"m here."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a dark purple blade condensed from soul force flash through the s.p.a.ce. When their gazes shifted again, Xia Mu"s eyes were incomparably empty, and he heavily fell to the ground in the next breath and stopped breathing.
"Hiss ~!" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This strange martial artist"s control over soul power had already surpa.s.sed everyone"s understanding of soul power. It could be said to be heaven-defying!
After doing all of this, the strange martial artist"s gaze shifted towards the soul tremor that had been sitting at the side of the temple"s divine platform, as if he was provoking him. After exchanging a glance with the strange martial artist, Hun Zhen slapped his seat and stood up, his gaze carrying a trace of disbelief.
"Father, what"s wrong?" Hun Yuan asked. She remembered that her father had always been calm and composed, and rarely had he lost his composure like this.
"It"s from You Luo Palace …"
Hun Zhen didn"t know if he was explaining to Hun Yuan or talking to himself, but he frowned and looked a little anxious.
"My name is You Luo Gu. I"ll kill one of the people who came up with me!"
The gloomy voice echoed once again like it came from h.e.l.l, causing everyone to be shocked. At the same time, the martial artists who partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion prayed silently in their hearts that they would not meet this fellow earlier.
With that, You Luo Bone jumped off the arena and disappeared into the crowd. No one dared to look at him. Hun Zhen slowly sat down again, his eyes still somewhat empty.
"I hope that Shen Sheng can defeat him … I didn"t expect that after such a long time, You Luo Palace would really appear again …"
…
The Soul Strength Tournament continued. Every match could be said to be extremely brilliant. Especially when two beauties competed on the same stage. Their gorgeous figures and beautiful faces were reflected in each other. Under the divine arena, cries were heard repeatedly. Everyone even forgot the shadow left behind by the You Luo Bone.
With the pa.s.sage of time, the sixth match had already ended. As long as there were two more matches, it would be Kong Yun Shopping Mall"s turn. However, Kong Yun"s figure still hadn"t appeared.
"This bad guy … what the h.e.l.l is going on!"
Hun Yuan held the number that Kong Yun had drawn in her hand, and sweat couldn"t help but ooze out of her palm.
The seventh battle proceeded very quickly. It was a compet.i.tion between a peak Master G.o.d Realm cultivator and an early G.o.d King Realm rogue cultivator. Under the difference in cultivation realm, a Master G.o.d Realm martial artist was quickly blasted off the divine platform. However, it did not injure his life. It was also the only battle that did not result in any casualties. The soul power compet.i.tion system this time could be described as cruel!
"Eighth match, Wu Meng versus Kong Yun …"
As the Temple Elder finished speaking, a burly man jumped onto the divine platform. Qin Meng was a disciple of the Soul Fist Sect, and he was also a prestigious existence among the younger generation.
"Kong Yun, how come I"ve never heard of this name before …"
"That"s right, I don"t know where it is. This fellow"s array is pitiful. He met Qin Meng in the first round …"
Everyone"s gaze was focused on the other side of the divine platform, waiting for Kong Yun to appear. However, after waiting for a moment, there was no movement.
Hun Yuan"s expression was tense. She only had a quarter of an incense stick of time. If Kong Yun still couldn"t make it, it would be tantamount to abstaining from voting.
Qin Meng"s face was filled with pride. In his heart, he thought that his prestige had scared Kong Yun.
As time pa.s.sed, time finally arrived, and the Temple Elder stepped onto the divine platform.
"A quarter of an incense stick has arrived. I declare Kong …"
"Wait!"
Qin Meng was smiling as he waited for his victory. A voice broke the grand ceremony elder"s words. The owner of the voice was Kong Yun!
The tall and upright figure slowly descended. Everyone was shocked. Hun Yuan, who had been sitting beside Hun Zhen, stared at the figure on the arena with an excited expression.
As Kong Yun arrived, Qin Meng"s expression turned ugly. "Brat, you could have escaped death, but you didn"t cherish it yourself …"
Hearing that, Kong Yun"s lips curled into a smile as he spread out his hands to reveal an indifferent posture. Kong Yun really didn"t care about Qin Meng.
"Noisy. If you want to fight, then fight. If you don"t, then obediently go down."
After Kong Yun finished speaking, he extended his right thumb and pointed downwards, making a very avant-garde gesture.
"Little brat! I"m going to kill you!"
Qin Meng instantly became frantic, and his soul force seized out to form a fist that was more than ten zhang in size, almost filling up the arena area that he and Kong Yun had planned.
Kong Yun"s eyes flashed. He didn"t expect Qin Meng to have something, but … he was still too far away.
He raised his right index finger and a faint flame jumped off his fingertips. Kong Yun chuckled and circulated his soul force. The flame floated in Qin Meng"s direction at an extremely slow speed.
"Brat! You actually look down on me!"
Qin Meng was furious. The giant fist in front of him raised a gust of wind and pounced towards Kong Yun. Kong Yun put his hands behind his back, his eyes expressionless.
Everyone thought that Kong Yun had given up on resisting and accepting death, but in the next moment, everyone knew that he was wrong, and that his mistake was so outrageous!
The flames had just come into contact with the giant fist when they heard a burst of"sizzling "sounds from the s.p.a.ce. The giant fist melted away at an extremely fast speed. By the time the crowd reacted, Qin Meng was already lying on the arena, clasping his head and rolling.
The giant fist was formed from all of his soul power. It was burned by Kong Yun with the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Flame, just like completely burning him. However, Kong Yun did not completely devour Qin Meng"s soul power, leaving him with the power to save his life.
Kong Yun quickly rushed to Qin Meng"s side, gathered his physical strength and kicked him out of the arena.
"This … this …"
Everyone was extremely shocked. First, the strange youth called You Luo Bone had a Kong Yun appearing from nowhere. This year"s soul power was truly endless compared to the dark horse.
The disturbance caused by Kong Yun had temporarily ended. The soul force compet.i.tion continued in an orderly manner. Xu Ying and Shen Sheng, the direct disciple of Soul Tyrant, had said that they had successfully advanced without any surprise.
Kong Yun, who jumped off the arena, couldn"t help but pinch a handful of cold sweat for himself. He was only a breath away from being able to catch up. Recalling the torment brought to him by the Seven-Colored Soul Flower, Kong Yun couldn"t help but shiver. Fortunately, it was all worth it. In just seven days, Kong Yun"s soul power had reached the peak of the Middle G.o.d King realm, only a step away from the peak of the true G.o.d King realm!
On the other side, Hun Yuan secretly rejoiced in her heart. She glanced at her father, Hun Ba, who was sitting beside her. Her eyes rolled and she took advantage of Hun Ba"s carelessness to leave her seat.
"Kong Yun!"
Hun Yuan came behind Kong Yun and patted him on the shoulder forcefully. The pleasant surprise in her words still existed.
Kong Yun turned around and was delighted to see Hun Yuan. He then scratched his head in embarra.s.sment, As for why, the moment Kong Yun broke through to the Soul Strength realm, Soul Yuan"s cultivation room finally couldn"t withstand the blazing temperature. It almost knocked over the entire side hall of the temple. When Kong Yun woke up, he didn"t have time to make up for this scene and rushed to the scene of the compet.i.tion.
After narrating the matter to Hun Yuan, not only did Hun Yuan not get angry, she instead burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it"s fine, it"s fine. Just ask my father to find someone to build another one when the time comes."
Kong Yun looked into Hun Yuan"s eyes and nodded lightly. After the soul force compet.i.tion ended, Kong Yun could also help Hun Yuan repair the Soul Gathering Formation. In addition to the existence of the artifact spirit, a formation master, he might even be able to build it better than before.
After the first round of soul force battles, half of the people who signed up for the compet.i.tion had already been eliminated. Following the second and third rounds, Kong Yun"s advancement was unsurprising. If one were to say that Kong Yun was lucky, he had not encountered a powerful existence like You Luo Bone or Xu Sheng Shen Sheng in the first few rounds.
"I must obtain the Void Surface!"
