“Her Extreme Yin power has not only recovered, similarly having been strengthened through many methods.”
“The only problem is with her supreme Extreme Yin Arts. The ones she comprehended back at the Sacred Sun Clan before are already outdated, having fallen far behind that of Meng Wan and the others.”
“The complete supreme Extreme Yin Arts provided in the Extreme Yin Scripture are immensely powerful, but the difficulty in cultivating in them is correspondingly also great. With time having been so limited, junior apprentice-sister Feng had insufficient time to pick them up sufficiently.”
“Also, these complete supreme Extreme Yin Arts are best still used for reference. Only ones that she creates herself based upon her own comprehensions would be the most suited to her.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “Earlier, I mentioned in my report to the clan that in the fifth Extreme Yin Bout, unless a pie falls from the sky, our luck heaven-defyingly good, it would be very hard for us to obtain victory. Our goal is mainly to accumulate experience as well as look for and remedy deficiencies-the reason for this lies here.”
“However, even so, saying that it’s fine so long as she is not at the very bottom, that was only a joke with junior apprentice-sister Feng,” Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “Junior apprentice-sister Feng, is very outstanding.”
Enveloped by the pillar of light which was bright at times whilst dim at others, Feng Yunsheng’s expression was calm, her gaze firm.
She suddenly let out a clear roar, resembling the roar of a dragon, penetrating through the clouds and shattering rocks, shocking the nine heavens.
The silhouette above her head gradually stabilised, become brighter and brighter.
As everyone looked, that was clearly a dragon of light that was half black, half white!
Accompanied by the clear dragon’s roar, the winds and the clouds stirred greatly.
A sabre in hand, a dragon of light coiled above Feng Yunsheng’s head, the mighty roar of a dragon resounding as it attracted the attention of all.
As opposed to the graceful magnanimity of Meng Wan’s phoenix, Feng Yunsheng’s dragon’s roar that shook the nine heavens contained a mighty tyranny.
The Mountain Opening Chisel above the head of Infinite Boundless Mountain’s Ling Hui shook, the Heavenly Thunder Drum above the head of the Heavenly Thunder Hall’s Nian Lei resounding more urgently.
The huge vessel above the head of Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting swayed slightly, the small umbrella above the head of Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Fan Qiu beginning to spin rapidly.
Similarly a first time participant in the Extreme Yin Bout, the Snowy Peak Volcano above Yun Xiuqing’s head directly erupted!
“We won’t make it into the second round?”
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “Haha…”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 330: Feeling like they were slapped
HSSB330: Feeling like they were slapped
The pillar of light that enveloped Feng Yunsheng had earlier shifted repeatedly between bright and dim, making it seem extremely unstable…
Now, however, accompanied by the unending roar of a dragon, the pillar of light grew brighter and brighter, as well as more and more stable, to the point that it was no longer flickering.
The force that Feng Yunsheng exerted was not as restrained as Meng Wan’s; it was tyrannical and mighty, causing all the other participants here to feel a pressuring aura weighing down upon them.
Infinite Boundless Mountain’s Ling Hui first felt it, followed closely by the Heavenly Thunder Hall’s Nian Lei.
Very quickly, the Sacred Sun Clan’s Yun Xiuqing and Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting also felt the fearsome pressure brought to them by Feng Yunsheng.
The pillar of light enveloping Feng Yunsheng grew brighter and brighter, also expanding rapidly in terms of thickness into the surroundings, its momentum shocking.
Let alone Yun Xiuqing, even Chen Suting was surpassed by Feng Yunsheng!
The heavenly dragon roared, soaring straight into the nine heavens, crushing one opponent after another, leaving them in its wake.
Very quickly, even Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Fan Qiu looked grave, earnestly looking at Feng Yunsheng.
Meng Wan did not even look towards Feng Yunsheng for a moment, a glow momentarily lighting up within the depths of her gaze, her feelings joyful whilst also complicated.
The pillar of light that enveloped Feng Yunsheng gradually stabilised, slightly inferior to Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Fan Qiu, whereas stably surpassing the Sacred Sun Clan’s Yun Xiuqing and Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting, ranked third amongst everyone here.
As this scene fell into the eyes of the spectators, they were all momentarily stupefied.
Everyone else aside, the martial practitioners of the Sacred Sun Clan fell into a state of utter disbelief.
Similarly attending an Extreme Yin Bout for the first time, Yun Xiuqing could be considered a secret weapon prepared by the Sacred Sun Clan. If she outstandingly shone in this first attempt, it was not something that others would be completely unable to accept.
However, Feng Yunsheng was different. Having been given the death sentence by everyone of the Sacred Sun Clan that year, her Extreme Yin Physique having been reported as crippled, she had actually truly recovered her Extreme Yin power, at the same time also improving further.
Having resumed her pace after having wasted so many years, she was actually displaying this level of ability-this truly almost shocked their eyeballs to the point of falling to the ground.
The Sunset Lord stared hard at Feng Yunsheng, seemingly wanting to see through her entire person.
His gaze was condensed to the point of near tangibility, even touching the Extreme Yin Crown a little.
A chill suddenly rose in the Sunset Lord’s heart as he knew that he had caused a backlash from the Extreme Yin Crown. He hurriedly retracted his gaze, his expression momentarily rather dark.
The more outstanding Feng Yunsheng was, the more it was like a slap to the Sacred Sun Clan’s face.
If it was just a high ability in the area of martial arts, her strength outstanding, while that would also be very awkward, it could still barely be accepted.
However, they had previously determined Feng Yunsheng’s Extreme Yin Physique to be completely crippled, the crowd of Sacred Sun Clan bigwigs checking her condition one after another, finally all attesting confidently to that fact. Looking back at it now, it really seemed like a joke.
Of the crowd of Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners, all those in the know felt a fiery pain on their faces at this moment.
Elder Mo let out a reassured smile, nodding consecutively, “Not in vain, really not in vain-our efforts were not wasted at all.”
He swivelled his head to look at Yan Zhaoge, praising, “Zhaoge, it’s all thanks to you ah.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Elder Mo overpraises me; it’s all thanks to junior apprentice-sister Feng’s own diligence, as well as senior apprentice-aunt Fu’s good teachings.”
These were not all polite words of courtesy.
Looking at Feng Yunsheng, Yan Zhaoge also felt emotional. Today, she was finally standing on this stage that she had aspired to for so long, letting her own people feel joyful, letting their enemies feel bitter and frustrated, but how many knew how much effort Feng Yunsheng had put in for this behind the scenes, how much hardship she had suffered.
Everything else aside, just the Cold Marrow Needles were already one of the Seven Great Tortures alongside the Soul Illuminating Lamps, a cruel form of torture that caused one to wish for their death but be unable to welcome it, a vicious method that could even reduce trained, tough men into puddles of water.
And this torture had not only been done once, instead having been carried out every once in a while after a set period of time ever since a year ago.
Just before setting out for this fifth Extreme Yin Bout, Feng Yunsheng had just suffered it once more.
Looking at Feng Yunsheng whose performance was sli
ghtly inferior to Fan Qiu’s, Yan Zhaoge said softly to himself, “This first round can be considered moderate; some of her advantages still cannot be displayed. In the second round, she will cause others to be even more shocked ah…”
At this moment, seeing Meng Wan, Fan Qiu and Feng Yunsheng placed in the top three positions, already having taken up three of the four spots for advancement, Yun Xiuqing and Chen Suting could not help but feel rather anxious.
On Yun Xiuqing’s usually cold, expressionless face, anxiety could not be seen, but her expression was clearly even colder than usual, a cold sharp light flashing within her eyes.
Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting’s expression was grave to the point that it could not be any graver.
She was the victor of the second Extreme Yin Bout, once having been the owner of the Extreme Yin Crown.
Having tasted such once before, she could only hope that it would be eternal.
The two began drawing on all their strength, communicating with the Extreme Yin Crown, increasing their resonance with the Sacred Artifact, hoping to gain greater recognition from it.
The pillars of light enveloping them shook slightly, gradually beginning to grow thicker and brighter.
Seeing this, Meng Wan furrowed her brows slightly.
The Sunset Lord’s expression also changed slightly as he said in a deep tone, “Xiuqing, don’t be impatient.”
Before his words had landed, the tall mountain above Yun Xiuqing’s head suddenly began to shake intensely.
Yun Xiuqing’s face turned pale before a crack suddenly appeared at the bottom of that snowy mountain from which gushed flames and lava, the crack spreading all the way upwards, arriving at the peak of the mountain.
The next moment, the tall snowy peak began to mightily collapse and break apart.
Some pain and unwillingness flickered within Yun Xiuqing’s eyes.
One knew one’s own problems best; she was the clearest on her own situation.
She was the youngest of all the Maidens of Extreme Yin here, possessing the lowest cultivation base. In other words, her foundations were the least firm.
Although her Extreme Yin Power was mighty and powerful, her supreme Extreme Yin Arts also remarkable, the result of forcibly stimulating her power and wringing out her potential was naught but collapse.
It was not that she had not known the underlying risks, but Yun Xiuqing had still wanted to give it a go with all she had.
Sadly, she had gone too hastily beyond her limits, finally still unable to achieve it.
Meng Wan looked at Yun Xiuqing, her head lowered, shaking her head slightly as she sighed.
The Sunset Lord and the other Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners also had no words to speak.
The pillar of light enveloping Yun Xiuqing gradually dimmed, till it had completely vanished.
The other six pillars of light also completely stabilised, the first round of the Extreme Yin Bout drawing to an end.
In the end, it was Feng Yunsheng, Meng Wan, Fan Qiu and Chen Suting who went through to the next round. Following this, it would be individual eliminatory bouts amongst them, till a victor was finally decided.
Sorting out his thoughts, calming his emotions, the Sunset Lord looked at An Qinglin, “In the past, it was always the final two directly competing. This time, there are four people, and three matches will be required. Will the first two matches be based upon the performance in the first round, number one against number four, number two against number three, or will it be decided by drawing lots?”
An Qinglin said, “Number one against number four, number two against number three.”
Elder Mo, the Sunset Lord and the others all nodded in agreement.
Feng Yunsheng glanced at Meng Wan, Meng Wan simultaneously also glancing at her, the gazes of the two brushing past each other.
Then, Feng Yunsheng’s gaze fell on her upcoming opponent, Fan Qiu of Turbid Wave Pavilion.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 331: Phoenix swallowing the moon, Dragon’s roar resounding the nine heavens!
HSSB331: Phoenix swallowing the moon, Dragon’s roar resounding the nine heavens
After the first round of the competition, according to the results, there would be matches between the first and the fourth as well as the second and third positions, the second round of the competition playing out.
Therefore, having achieved third place, Feng Yunsheng’s upcoming opponent would be the second placed Fan Qiu.
Meanwhile, the other match would be between Meng Wan and Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting.
Feng Yunsheng and Fan Qiu first left the glow of the Extreme Yin Crown, only leaving Meng Wan and Chen Suting behind in the ring.
Clear, quiet moonlight enveloped the heavens and covered the earth, boundless and without end, as the world seemed to have transformed into a sea of white light at this moment.
Within the faint ocean of moonlight, the figures of the two were indistinctly visible.
Chen Suting raised up her right hand, forming a sabre with her palm, chopping out towards Meng Wan.
Within the moonlight ocean, a massive black vessel instantly appeared, riding the wind and breaking the waves, splitting apart the sea tides, shooting towards Meng Wan.
As the massive vessel moved, numerous heavy waves surged, obscuring the heavens and covering the earth.
In the sky above, the bright moon shone high. Amidst its glow, there seemed to be a crown of pure white emanating faint radiance. Boosted by it, that black vessel’s aura grew more and more remarkable, gradually filling up the entire world before one’s eyes, as though about to domineeringly cross the sea of infinite bitterness, arriving at the distant shore.
On the other side, Meng Wan’s expression was mild, elegant and noble.
She let out the clear cry of a phoenix, rising gradually in pitch. It was not majestic or tyrannical, but this influenced the entire world of moonlight.
The next moment, Meng Wan completely vanished.
Then, a phoenix that was half black and half white soared into the skies from the moonlight ocean, shocking the nine heavens.
As the phoenix soared into the skies, it circled around the bright moon that hung overhead. What caused everyone great shock was that the bright moon actually began to shrink alongside the encirclement of the phoenix.
Very quickly, the bright moon hanging in the sky was only the size of an orb, while with a clear cry, that fire phoenix suddenly opened its mouth, actually swallowing the entire moon.
Seeing this, the face of Jade Sea City’s Chen Suting instantly changed.
Following this, the phoenix descended from the skies, shooting towards the massive black vessel down below.
The cold, silent moonlight was not blazing, yet seemed to have solidified time.
The dense moonlight accompanied the descent of the phoenix, locking the massive black vessel in place, before the phoenix swept its wings of black and white.
The massive black vessel which had earlier possessed a majestic momentum, seemingly sweeping all that stood in its path instantly began to tilt to the side, gradually beginning to flip over, finally sinking within the seas.
Chen Suting stood unmoving where she was, her face rather pale.
The phoenix landed close before her, the flames of black and white dissipating, revealing Meng Wan’s figure.
Having earlier been swallowed by the phoenix, vanishing from the horizon, the bright moon had already somehow returned to the skies without one’s knowledge.
Looking at Chen Suting, Meng Wan said softly, “Senior Sister Chen, thank you for going easy.”
Seeing Meng Wan and Chen Suting exit the world of moonlight together, other than those of the Sacred Sun Clan, everyone fell into deep thought.
They had already known that Meng Wan was strong, presiding over the rest, but strength to such an extent still left everyone speechless for a time.
Once, in the first few Extreme Yin Bouts, Chen Suting had been quite evenly matched w
ith Meng Wan, having forced Meng Wan to go all out with her full strength even having been eventually defeated. Today, facing Meng Wan, however, it had been an utter defeat for her.
In the instant the phoenix swallowed the moon, victory had actually already been decided between the two.
Once a rival, she had already been completely left behind in the dust by Meng Wan, unable to even clearly see her distant back.
Jade Sea City’s Martial Grandmaster expert who had led their team here had on a dark expression. To Jade Sea City, losing to others was still alright, but losing to someone of the Sacred Sun Clan-that was simply unbearably stifling.
However, this longtime Elder could not let this show. He could only comfort himself thinking that the impact Chen Suting had suffered must be greater than his.
Even Turbid Wave Pavilion’s An Qinglin glanced at Meng Wan in appraisal once more at this victory.
She, of course, knew of Meng Wan. However, following today, she had no choice but attach more weight to her within her heart.
“In the Extreme Yin Bouts, the Sacred Sun Clan’s Meng Wan is almost like your father Yan Di and the current you in terms of position amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level,” Looking at Meng Wan, Broad Creed Mountain’s Elder Mo sighed after a while, “Standing at the peak, presiding over all, with pressure and authority that is virtually unshakable.”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, not replying.
Now, after Meng Wan and Chen Suting had exited the world of moonlight, Feng Yunsheng and Fan Qiu of Turbid Wave Pavilion entered within.
After the two exchanged greetings, Fan Qiu pushed forward simultaneously with her palms.
An intricate-looking paper umbrella appeared within the world of moonlight, opening as it rose into the air.
The next moment, the scenes within the moonlight world suddenly changed.
After being opened, that umbrella which had not seemed big at all actually covered and obscured the entire sky, everything above and below the umbrella divided into two separate worlds.
