Unexpected Success, Straight to the Finals!

The intense resentment emanating from Tang Yuan could trigger a strong reaction from the demonic statues in Qin Yi's mental world.

Master Ding also asked Qin Yi to find out what was going on.

If the source of that resentment can be found, it will be of great importance to Qin Yi in starting the next stage of his cultivation of the Primordial Demon Art, using resentment to refine his soul!

Now, Qin Yi felt that the truth had come to light.

It's probably related to the ancient battlefield fragment space of the Cangjian Sect.

As Qin Yi's thoughts were racing, Mu Wan spoke up again, saying, "Tomorrow, in the ranking of the top three, I'd be more at ease if you were to face Tong Yao from Tian Shu Palace."

"But we don't know much about Tang Yuan of the Cangjian Sect."

"Therefore, if you fight Tang Yuan, you must be very careful and never be careless or relaxed."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "I understand."

"Tonight, go to the Jade Pool at my residence to adjust your condition," Mu Wan said.

At this moment, Liu Yan, who was standing next to Mu Wan, suddenly gave Qin Yi a look.

The plan that Liu Yan had told him earlier came to Qin Yi's mind, and his feelings suddenly became much more complicated.

Soon, under Mu Wan's arrangement, Qin Yi entered the Jade Pool, which contained a pool of spiritual liquid that Mu Wan had specially prepared for him.

As Qin Yi's body was immersed in it, he immediately felt completely relaxed. It was as if all his pores had opened up, and a continuous stream of warm energy seeped into his flesh and bones.

Mu Wan watched from the side, and only left after confirming that there were no problems.

Liu Yan was still in the courtyard of Mu Wan's residence.

After Mu Wan came out.

Liu Yan suddenly became a little nervous.

Mu Wan asked, "Sister Yan'er, what's wrong?"

Liu Yan quickly replied, "I'm fine... Sister Wan'er, how are you feeling?"

Mu Wan said, "I just worked hard for several hours the day before yesterday, and I took two Heartbreak Grass yesterday, so I shouldn't have any problems recently."

Liu Yan's expression was filled with worry: "Sister Wan'er, two Heartbreak Grasses... that's almost a fatal dose... you..."

Mu Wan looked relieved and said, "I know what I'm doing, it's alright."

Liu Yan lowered her voice and said, "Sister Wan'er, Qin Yi is inside. Why don't you... just go in?"

Mu Wan's expression turned extremely serious. She said, "As an elder, how could I do such a thing? This matter should not be mentioned again. Sister Yan'er, it's getting late. You should go back to Yaoguang Palace."

Seeing that Mu Wan was in good condition, Liu Yan knew that even if she made a move now, she wouldn't have a chance to knock Mu Wan unconscious.

I can only suppress the plan I have in mind for the time being and look for another opportunity.

The next day.

Qin Yi soaked in Mu Wan's jade pool for a whole night, and his overall condition became extremely robust, even his cultivation level improved considerably.

He got dressed and went to the courtyard, where he found Mu Wan sitting there.

"Palace Master Mu, you've been sitting here all night?" Qin Yi was deeply moved.

Mu Wan did not answer, but said, "I've thought about it. If we really face Tang Yuan, we'll fight if we can, but if things don't go well, we'll give up decisively. You've already made it into the top three, which is a remarkable achievement. There's no need to be too fixated on it now."

Qin Yi cupped his hands and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Mu Wan was doing it for his own good, worried about his safety, so of course he wouldn't argue with her.

But his goal remained unchanged.

We're number one!

Next, Mu Wan took Qin Yi to the Starlight Platform.

When they arrived at the Star Platform, it was already packed with people, including many core disciples who came to watch the battle.

Mu Wan ascended the high platform.

Qin Yi arrived at the location closest to the Starlight Platform and met up with Yun Meng'er, Feng Ao, and the others.

"Junior Brother Qin, do your best. We're all looking forward to seeing what you've got to see," a young man said with a smile.

Feng Ao immediately introduced Qin Yi: "Junior Brother Qin, this is Senior Brother Zhang Polu, a nine-star core disciple of Tianxuan Palace."

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhang."

Beside Zhang Polu were many core disciples of Tianxuan Palace, who all said encouraging words to Qin Yi.

After a while.

Bai Changtian, the dean of Tianxing Martial Academy, and Tang Zhenhai, the vice sect master of Cangjian Sect, came to the high platform together.

With a command given.

Tong Yao, Qin Yi, and Tang Yuan then ascended the Starlight Platform.

A powerful aura emanated from Tong Yao, who stood tall and proud, exuding confidence.

Tang Yuan was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed, yet beneath this fierce aura, a mysterious energy surged.

Qin Yi kept his power under control and didn't deliberately release any sharpness or power. He just stood calmly next to Tong Yao and Tang Yuan, but there seemed to be an invisible force that drew everyone's attention to him.

Bai Changtian, the dean of Tianxing Martial Academy, looked at the three people on the Starlight Platform. A special meaning appeared on his face. Then, he turned his gaze to Tang Zhenhai, the vice sect master of Cangjian Sect, who was standing to the side.

"Vice Sect Leader Tang, please."

Tang Zhenhai nodded and said, "Then I will respectfully comply."

Tang Zhenhai stood up.

Just as everyone was wondering what he was going to say.

Suddenly, Tang Zhenhai swung his arm.

In an instant, a dense array of sword energies roared out and shot towards the three people on the Starlight Platform.

Sword energy rained down.

Unparalleled in speed.

This scene caused everyone's expression to change drastically.

Even most of the people sitting on the platform looked surprised.

If Bai Changtian hadn't remained calm and unmoved, some experts from Tianxing Martial Academy would have already made a move.

A dense array of sword energies was unleashed without warning, heading straight for the Starlight Platform.

Qin Yi, Tong Yao, and Tang Yuan reacted immediately upon hearing the news.

A dazzling light shone from Tong Yao's body. He grasped a long sword in his hand and swung the blade to block the approaching sword energy.

Tang Yuan drew his sword and attacked, with a large amount of sword energy intertwining around him, forming an impenetrable sword net.

Qin Yi, relying on his keen senses and combining them with the essence of wind and thunder, skillfully moved through the dense rain of sword energy.

The sword energy released by Tang Zhenhai lasted for ten breaths.

Ten breaths later.

All the sword energy dissipated.

On the Starlight Platform, everything returned to normal.

Tong Yao's robe was torn in seven places.

There are five marks left by sword energy on Tang Yuan's body.

Qin Yi, however, calmly dodged all the sword energy, not a single wisp of it touching the hem of his clothes.

Everyone looked at the platform with puzzled expressions.

Tang Zhenhai spoke up, saying, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, Dean Bai told me the rules for the third round: in the competition among the top three, one person can directly advance to the final battle."

"Just now, my sword energy was a small test."

"It tests a martial artist's alertness, reaction speed, and judgment in the face of unexpected situations!"

"The one with the fewest sword strikes will directly advance to the final battle!"

"Because this method was chosen by me a quarter of an hour ago, neither Tong Yao nor Qin Yi of Tianxing Martial Academy knew about it beforehand, nor did Tang Yuan of our Cangjian Sect."

"Therefore, fairness is guaranteed to the greatest extent possible."

Once the explanation was given, everyone looked enlightened; they understood immediately.

On the Starlight Platform, Tang Yuan looked at Qin Yi: "Then let's wait until I defeat Tong Yao before we have a proper match. Anyway, you're the one I'm most looking forward to fighting. Our battle can be saved for last!"

"Wishful thinking!" Tong Yao roared, "You will surely be defeated by my blade!"

After saying that, he looked at Qin Yi and said, "I'll deal with you after I've suppressed Tang Yuan and upheld the dignity of Tianxing Martial Academy!"

Qin Yi's gaze swept over the two of them, but he didn't say anything and simply turned and left the Starlight Platform.

Many people looked at Qin Yi and thought that Qin Yi was incredibly lucky.

If we really had to rank them by ability, Qin Yi would definitely only be third.

But given the current situation, Qin Yi has already secured second place.

As for first place?

impossible.

Don't be fooled by Qin Yi's victory over Li Fang, who was at the fourth level of the Cave Heaven Realm, yesterday.

But Li Fang is nowhere near comparable to nursery rhymes and Tang Yuan.

The winner of the battle between Tong Yao and Tang Yuan will be the ultimate champion.

There is no doubt that their combined strength far surpasses Qin Yi's.

Just as Qin Yi arrived beside Yun Meng'er, a fierce clash of swords erupted on the Starlight Platform.

The fierce battle has begun!
