The Golem's Reaction, Breakthrough in the Face of Battle!

Qin Yi's tone was calm yet brimming with strong confidence.

Tang Yuan smiled and said, "Your talent is indeed higher than mine, but in martial arts cultivation, one step ahead can lead to being ahead at every step. My biggest advantage is that I am currently ahead of you."

Qin Yi did not speak again.

He closed his eyes and began circulating his internal energy, as if adjusting his state, just like the others.

In reality, he didn't expend much energy.

At this very moment, he is suppressing the excited golem in his mental world!

Ever since Tang Yuan approached him, the hideous and ferocious demonic statue in his mental world seemed to be in a state of excitement, especially the wisps of twisted vengeful spirits below the statue, which seemed to want to rush out.

"Master Ding, what exactly is going on?"

"There must be something on Tang Yuan of the Cangjian Sect that has triggered the reaction of the demonic statue and the vengeful spirit."

Qin Yi sent a telepathic message to Master Ding, trying to find out what had happened.

Master Ding: "He exudes a strong aura of resentment!"

When Qin Yi learned the truth, he was also quite excited.

The first step in cultivating the Primordial Demonic Art is to temper the body with malevolent energy.

Malevolent energy can be drawn from the earth.

Now, Qin Yi has laid a solid foundation for tempering his body with baleful energy.

Next, we must refine the soul with resentment!

Every living being can harbor resentment.

Even for Han Wei, Song Gui, and the like, trying to absorb and use the resentment they felt towards Qin Yi for soul refining was largely ineffective.

In Qin Yi's spiritual world, the vengeful spirits beneath the golem were constantly generating resentment, but it was still too little to support his soul refining through resentment.

Tang Yuan of the Cangjian Sect, just by getting close to Qin Yi, the invisible resentment he carried was enough to make Qin Yi's demonic statue react.

It's easy to imagine that the intensity of this resentment was extremely exaggerated.

Ding Ye's voice transmission continued to echo in Qin Yi's mind: "But this resentment does not belong to Tang Yuan. Find out the specifics, as this is very important for your next stage of cultivation."

"Okay, I understand," Qin Yi said.

Two hours passed.

On the Starlight Platform, all six of them finished their cross-legged meditation.

They stood up.

Prepare for the lottery.

With a wave of his hand, Bai Changtian sent six orbs of light flying to the six people.

Tang Yuan said with a smile, "Qin Yi, although you are no match for me, you are the opponent I most want to fight. I really have no interest in anyone else."

Tong Yao, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "You're too arrogant. I don't know if you'll be my opponent this round, but I guarantee that with me here, the first place in the Tianxing Grand Competition will belong to me from Tianxing Martial Academy. You have no chance to even dream of taking it!"

Tang Yuan scoffed, saying, "Anyone can talk big."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yuan grabbed a ball of light.

Crush the ball of light.

The token from the ball of light appeared in his hand.

The token is engraved with the serial number two.

Tong Yao also crushed a ball of light; his token was number one.

"Consider yourself lucky!" Tong Yao stared at Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan said, "You're the lucky one."

Qin Yi and the others also crushed the ball of light.

"Qin Yi, you're finished!" Li Fang, a disciple of Tian Shu Palace, looked at the token with serial number three in her hand, and then stared at the token with serial number three in Qin Yi's hand. She became excited.

Zhou Shu of Yuheng Palace is facing off against Tong Yao.

Zhang Xinyi of Tianji Palace faces off against Tang Yuan.

Zhou Shu and Zhang Xinyi both looked rather grim.

Next, Qin Yi, Tang Yuan, Zhou Shu, and Zhang Xinyi left the Starlight Platform.

Tong Yao's battle against Zhou Shu begins.

Qin Yi wasn't paying attention to the battle; he looked at Chu Huai Ren and Feng Ao and asked, "Do you two know anything about this?"

Chu Huai Ren looked solemn and said, "All I know is that last year, the Cangjian Sect also held a similar competition. One of our Cangxing Martial Academy's vice deans took Qin An to the Cangjian Sect to cause trouble, and Qin An won first place in that competition."

"So, it's highly likely they're just here to vent their anger."

Feng Ao added, "In addition, last year when Qin An went to Cangjian Sect to cause trouble, Cangjian Sect agreed to let Qin An participate in the competition. Our Tianxing Martial Academy gave them a condition: if Qin An did not win first place in their competition, Tianxing Martial Academy would have to give Cangjian Sect some cultivation resources that they wanted."

"But because Qin An won first place, the Cangjian Sect got nothing and lost face."

"I think that since Dean Bai agreed to let the Cangjian Sect participate in the Tianxing Grand Competition, the Cangjian Sect probably also offered something they wanted as a condition."

"If Tang Yuan doesn't win first place in our Heavenly Star Grand Competition, Heavenly Star Martial Academy will get some good stuff from the Azure Sword Sect!"

"As for what exactly it is, I have no idea."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement and asked, "Do you know anything about this Tang Yuan?"

Feng Ao said, "This guy is considered half a prodigy. It is said that he almost condensed a golden core. At that time, even the golden core tribulation lightning appeared, but the lightning tribulation did not take shape and then dissipated."

"The vice sect master of the Cangjian Sect on the high platform is named Tang Zhenhai. He is Tang Yuan's grandfather."

Chu Huai Ren then added information about Tang Yuan: "This Tang Yuan has extremely high talent in swordsmanship, has mastered the dual perfection of metal and wood sword intent, and he also has a low-grade Dao body. His Dao body is related to his soul, so Tang Yuan also has extremely exaggerated spiritual power."

Feng Ao nodded: "So, if you fight Tang Yuan, you must be wary of his mental attacks; that's his real trump card."

As princes of the Great Wind Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty, Feng Ao and Chu Huai Ren indeed knew a lot of information that ordinary people did not know.

And in the brief moment of speaking...

On the Starlight Platform, Tong Yao had already defeated Zhou Shu.

Tang Yuan makes his appearance.

Zhang Xinyi also flew to the Starlight Platform.

Qin Yi began to pay attention to this battle.

Everyone was curious about what kind of skills Tang Yuan, the genius from Cangjian Sect who came to challenge them, possessed.

Tang Yuan looked at Zhang Xinyi, whose face was solemn, and smiled, "You don't need to be too nervous. As long as it's not a woman who has a grudge against me, I will be very courteous when I make a move."

Zhang Xinyi snorted coldly.

"Take this!"

The power of his third-level Cave Heaven Realm cultivation erupted instantly, and the sword light swept out.

Tang Yuan remained calm. With a thought, a low-grade Dao sword appeared in his hand. He casually swept the sword out, slicing through Zhang Xinyi's sword light.

"Ding!"

Tang Yuan's sword struck Zhang Xinyi's blade with pinpoint accuracy.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Yuan's sword stirred, and Zhang Xinyi's sword became completely out of control, moving with Tang Yuan's sword. The next moment, Zhang Xinyi's sword clattered and fell to the ground.

Tang Yuan thrust his sword forward, the tip stopping less than half a finger's width from Zhang Xinyi's throat.

Is that all?

The people of Tianxing Martial Academy all felt immense pressure.

Even Tong Yao's expression became extremely solemn.

Zhang Xinyi's face turned pale.

Tang Yuan gracefully sheathed his sword and said, "Miss Xinyi, your swordsmanship still has a lot of room for improvement. I will be staying at Tianxing Martial Academy tonight. If you want to improve, my door is always open for you."

"You shameless!" Zhang Xinyi picked up the sword and left angrily.

"Miss Xinyi, don't forget what I just said..." Tang Yuan shouted at Zhang Xinyi's back.

"Aaaaah, this person is utterly shameless!" a disciple from Tianxing Martial Academy shouted angrily.

"Shameless! Defeating Senior Sister Zhang is one thing, but to actually harass her in broad daylight!"

"I really want to punch his face until it's a pig's head!"

Tang Yuan chuckled and said, "I just want to exchange sword techniques with Miss Xinyi. Don't overthink it. Only filthy people would think such filthy things."

This made the people from Tianxing Martial Academy even angrier.

Feng Ao patted Chu Huai Ren on the shoulder and said, "Go back and ask your father and mother if they have a son who's been stranded in the Cangjian Sect. After all, someone as shameless as you could very well be a brother!"

Chu Huai-ren shook his head and said seriously, "Impossible, he doesn't look like me."

"They are fundamentally different."

"I have a detached mindset, while he is inherently vulgar."

At this moment, Tang Yuan flew down from the Starlight Platform.

It's Qin Yi's turn to fight Li Fang.

Qin Yi flew up to the Starlight Platform.

Li Fang then appeared, the moment her feet touched the ground.

"boom!"

Li Fang's aura suddenly surged.

At that moment, she took the remaining half step, broke through her cultivation, and reached the fourth level of the Cave Heaven Realm!

Everyone was quite surprised.

On the high platform, Lu Han, the master of Tian Shu Palace, smiled and said, "Palace Master Mu, it's such a pity. You were just a little short... to keep your position as Palace Master."

"It's such a pity."

"Hahaha!"

Mu Wan remained calm and unaffected.

Li Fang drew her sword, pointing the blade at Qin Yi, and said, "Even before my breakthrough, I was confident of defeating you. Now that my strength has increased further, you have no chance to struggle at all."

Qin Yi remained indifferent and said, "A mere fourth-level Cave Heaven Realm cultivator, what can he do to me?"
