Myth Beyond Heaven



Chu Teng's face turned serious when he saw the flaming serpents rush over. He quickly used his right foot to draw a circle on the floor, and a water wall immediately appeared in front of him.

Yan Huang's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the water wall. He stomped his foot on the ground once again and shouted. "Explode!"

All of a sudden, the serpents exploded, blasting the water wall away entirely.

At the same time, a thick and strong chain of fire appeared around Yan Huang's right leg as he swiftly kicked out, sending the flaming chain dancing like a fire snake toward Chu Teng's legs.

The water armor around Chu Teng's legs instantly broke apart as the flaming chain approached and wrapped around his legs in a flash. 

A smile immediately appeared on Yan Huang's face. Just as he was about to detonate the fire divine energy, he suddenly felt a cool sensation from behind. Without looking at it, he knew it was Chu Teng's attack.

At this moment, a giant hand made of water appeared behind Yan Huang through the ground and firmly grasped Yang Huang's body before pulling him away and smashing him to the ground.

Bang!

The tiles were instantly shattered as Yan Huang crashed onto the floor. Blood arrow shot out of his mouth as he grimaced in pain.

With a low shout, Chu Teng instantly appeared at Yan Huang's side and struck straight for the latter's body with a kick concentrated on divine energy. 

Yan Huang, whose flaming chains were extinguished, was helplessly overwhelmed with dismay. Even though he knew what was coming after he was thrown onto the ground, he didn't have enough time to counter or block and could only hastily back off. 

However, he was still struck solidly in the ribs by Chu Teng's kick.

Yan Huang's protective divine energy wavered. Although Chu Teng's realm was below him, getting hit by a heavy frontal strike like this was unbearable. With a loud bang, he was sent flying out of the arena directly.

A moment later, Yan Huang got up from the ground and cupped his fists. "Thank you for your mercy."

Chu Teng cupped his fists in return and said. "I've taken advantage. I hope Brother Yan forgives me."

Yan Huang shook his head and said. "Even if I went all out, I wouldn't be your opponent anyway. You deserved to win."

As he spoke, he turned around and returned to his seat.

On the high platform, Ning Yue said in surprise. "It's so fast."

Yun Lintian explained. "They didn't even use their true strength. It was merely exchanging their profound arts."

Ning Yue was stunned. That actually wasn't their true strength?

Seeing her expression, Qin Mei spoke. "When it comes to sparring like this, everyone tends to conceal their true strength as much as possible because you have to think of the next opponent. After all, it's not a life-and-death situation. Moreover, these little guys are certainly getting into the top ten by just relying on their status. Unless they want to show their might, it's unnecessary for them to work hard."

Yun Lintian added. "In the future, you must remember to hide your trump card well. Don't let your opponent know your next move easily."

"Understood." Ning Yue nodded heavily.

Chu Teng swept his gaze over the crowd and said. "Please advise me."

After waiting for a full two minutes, Wen Qian immediately concluded it. "Chu Teng will be temporarily placed in the first rank. You can continue."

Chu Teng cupped his fists toward Wen Qian and returned to his seat.

"What are you waiting for?" Shen Yan glanced at Yun Lintian and asked.

Yun Lintian shrugged. "Isn't it better to wait for the final winner first?"

Shen Yan rolled her eyes at him and said nothing further.

Suddenly, Jian Ziqi got up from her seat and flew onto the stage. Under everyone's surprised gaze, she stared straight at Yun Lintian and said. "The Battle Sword Sect's Jian Ziqi. I want to challenge you."

Immediately, everyone's gaze concentrated on Yun Lintian. Most of them only knew that he possessed a lofty status and nothing else.

Wang Jiacai's frowned slightly. At first, he thought that Jian Ziqi would challenge him. Unexpectedly, she asked Yun Lintian, who was only at the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm. What was she doing?

Naturally, Wang Jiacai didn't know about the auction house's incident. Otherwise, he would understand Jian Ziqi's intention.

"That's great." Huang Yuchun clenched his fist excitingly. He hoped that Jian Ziqi could severely injure Yun Lintian. It would even be better if he died on the spot.

Meanwhile, the three judges looked at Yun Lintian strangely. They didn't expect Jian Ziqi to challenge this young man like this. At the same time, they were curious about Yun Lintian's background. To be able to sit beside Shen Yan was definitely something.

Yun Lintian was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Shen Yan and asked. "So, you can challenge anyone directly?"

Tian Hualing took the initiative to answer. "It's up to you whether you want to accept it."

Without waiting for Yun Lintian to reply, she quickly said further. "This could become a stigma later if you reject her. At that time, I don't know how our Realm King will look at you."

Yun Lintian was speechless. This was clearly forcing him to fight.

Since there was no choice, Yun Lintian could only bite the bullet. He sighed softly and leaped onto the stage. 

He cupped his fists and said to Jian Ziqi. "A wandering practitioner, Lin Tian. Please go easy on me."

"This bastard." Shen Yan's face twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Jian Ziqi looked at him calmly as she said. "I know you are a sword practitioner. Please draw your sword. I won't hold back as well."

Her words surprised everyone in the scene. No matter how they looked at Yun Lintian, he didn't seem to have anything related to a sword.

To everyone's surprise, Yun Lintian shook his head. "You're talented, but not enough to make me draw my sword. You can start now."

Hiss—

The crowd gasped in shock when they heard this. They looked at Yun Lintian as if they were looking at a monster.

Who was Jian Ziqi? She was the most dazzling genius in the Great Zhou Kingdom! He actually said that she was unworthy of making him draw his sword? How arrogant was that?
