Ye Yuan looked at his opponent with a smile that wasn’t a smile, and then he said to the Starmoon Sword in his embrace, “Old partner, let’s go!”
A Myriad Rain Sword Blades was unleashed. The opponent’s expression changed abruptly!
Not just the opponent, the audience spectating beneath the stage were all struck dumb with amazement.
“T-T-That is a supreme true intent! Oh my God, that is a supreme true intent! This Divine Traversing Realm actually comprehended a supreme true intent!”
“No wonder a Divine Traversing Realm can charge into the grand finals! Turns out that he comprehended a supreme true intent!”
“Also, that sword in his hand, that is a holy artifact, as if it was born inherently for his sword intent! Under the cooperation of the two, the might of this move is more than a level stronger!”
Beneath the stage was full of exclamations. A Divine Traversing Realm who comprehended a supreme true intent was sufficient to cause a sensation.
The most pitiful one was Ye Yuan’s opponent. He completely did not foresee the power of Ye Yuan’s move. Caught unprepared, he was blasted down the arena directly by Ye Yuan’s one sword.
It was also that his cultivation realm was much higher than Ye Yuan’s. Otherwise, this sword could absolutely beat him until he was full of holes.
But wielding the Starmoon Sword in his hand, it had indeed played a huge augmenting effect on Ye Yuan’s supreme true intent.
If it were using the Xuanying Sword to display this move, it absolutely would not cause such a threat to the other party.
One move finished off the opponent neat and tidily.
“Ye Yuan wins!”
The judge announced the results immediately.
On the high platform, First Elder’s expression also became extremely fascinating.
“Hahaha, I truly didn’t expect that apart from Nalan Chu, there is still someone able to comprehend a supreme true intent! Furthermore, it looks like the time he comprehended the supreme true intent is already not that short. This Divine Traversing Realm boy, interesting! Interesting!”
After Ye Yuan descended the stage, Pei Wenqiang looked at him with a bitter smile on his face as he grumbled, “You, this punk, hid the truth from me so bitterly! I really didn’t think that you actually already comprehended a supreme true intent! No wonder you dared to utter that sort of big talk!”
Yang Sen was also endlessly surprised and bewildered at the side. When Ye Yuan was at the Ye City division zone, he actually concealed his strength the entire time!
And Pei Wenqiang knew Ye Yuan for such a long time and really had not seen Ye Yuan display a supreme true intent before.
Ye Yuan’s sword immediately aroused substantial attention.
Before this, he might be the least favored among all of the contestants. But the power of this one sword let everyone see his might clearly.
Right then, the voice of the judges sounded out on the platforms from time to time.
“Nalan Chu wins!”
“Wu Jiantong wins!”
“Wu Xi wins!”
…
Nalan Chu these people’s strengths belonged to the first-tier. As long as the opponent’s strength was not too powerful, finishing off the opponent was also something effortless.
But compared to Ye Yuan, their speed was still slightly slower by a bit.
When they heard that the sole Divine Traversing Realm contestant this time actually knew a supreme true intent, their expressions became fascinating one by one.
Wu Xi suddenly discovered that this Spirit Enlightening Pill did not seem to be too easy to get!
His concepts comprehension was very high. But it was still a little off from comprehending a supreme true intent.
And just this ‘a little,’ was a nigh-insurmountable chasm!
Among them, only Nalan Chu alone crossed over this chasm.
“Scared of what? Even if he comprehended a supreme true intent, he’s also merely just a Divine Traversing Realm! With your strength, you’re absolutely able to defeat him. My promise from before still stands!” Wu Jiantong said to Wu Xi in a low voice.
After Wu Xi mused for a moment, he nodded his head and said, “Okay!”
The reason why he agreed to Wu Jiantong was that he was jealous!
In order to comprehend a supreme true intent, Wu Xu expended a huge price. But until now, he kept failing to comprehend as well.
Forget about comprehending, his concepts comprehension was even a little worse compared to Wu Jiantong.
But a measly little Divine Traversing Realm martial artist? What right did he have to comprehend a supreme true intent?
“This punk, I must cripple him!” Wu Xu said secretly.
After all the matches in the first round were done, they rested for two hours, then started the second round of matches.
Ye Yuan’s opponent this time was still an Eighth Level Boundless!
Without the least bit of suspense, Ye Yuan blasted his opponent down the platform neat and tidily once more with a Myriad Rain Sword Blades.
Two consecutive wins!
Chapter 794 - Unfair Treatment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Consecutively instant-killing two Eighth Level Boundless Realms, Ye Yuan’s strength was already indisputable.
Previously, those people who thought that Ye Yuan was trying his luck all shut their mouths up sensibly at this time.
Just based on these two battles, Ye Yuan entered the ranks of the first-group well-deservingly.
After two matches, Ye Yuan’s third match was particularly in the limelight.
Wu Xi was a well-worthy strong foe of the first group. Facing Ye Yuan, this dark horse, just who would win and who would lose became the third round’s focal battle.
Wu Xi was a top 10 strong contender. If Ye Yuan beat Wu Xi, he would become this competition’s greatest dark horse and absolutely had the strength to charge into the top 10.
If Ye Yuan was defeated, that his strength could only wander between the first-group and second-group. He would probably not draw much attention in the competition afterward either.
“Brother Ye, after you obtained the Starmoon Sword, it’s simply adding wings to a tiger! In my view, there’s no problem at all with you defeating Wu Xi!” Mu Yun said with vicissitudes of emotion.
The first two rounds, Mu Yun won one and lost one. The opening was also considered barely satisfactory.
To Mu Yun, this battle result was still considered passable. Facing a bunch of Seventh and Eighth Level Boundless Realm experts, he, a Sixth Level Boundless could win one and lose one was already very not easy.
Rather, it was Tang Fan’s prior two battle results that were not bad, likewise obtaining a battle result of two consecutive wins.
His quick-sword, other people really could not adapt to it in a short time.
Furthermore, under Ye Yuan’s guidance, his quick-sword improved by leaps and bounds. This also became one of his capital to keep a foothold.
“Ye Yuan, this third match, you got to be a little careful. This Wu Xi’s relationship is the closest to Wu Jiantong. They might come up with some schemes,” Pei Wenqiang warned.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “I won’t offend people unless I’m offended. If I’m offended, I definitely won’t let people off!”
Ye Yuan did not have the intention of offending people. But the moment he went up to the stage, he sensed that faintly discernible killing intent coming from Wu Xi there.
“I heard that you actually comprehended a supreme true intent at your young age. You really broadened this Wu’s horizons! Today, let this Wu have a taste of the prowess of a supreme true intent. However, fists and kicks are mute. You have to be careful,” Wu Xi said with a gleeful smile.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Like this, huh? Then you have to be careful. My sword intent, I can’t even control it myself at times!”
Wu Xi’s face turned black when he
heard that. This punk actually dared to threaten him!
“Is that so? Then I want to see just how formidable your sword intent is!”
Wu Xi’s tone became cold, resting his hand on his sword, and pouncing forward!
He specifically researched Ye Yuan’s previous two matches before and still had some understanding towards Ye Yuan’s moves.
The might of Myriad Rain Sword Blades was indeed very powerful. Therefore, Wu Xi did not plan to give Ye Yuan the chance to unleash this move.
He planned to use his cultivation realm to forcefully exhaust Ye Yuan completely!
Yet, the moment both parties came into contact, Wu Xi’s heart plummeted.
Ye Yuan’s movement technique was extremely bizarre. He clearly only had a Divine Traversing Realm strength, but his speed was actually even half a level faster than him!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan’s Starmoon Sword was very sharp. Just exchanging blows two to three times and the profound artifact longsword in Wu Xi’s hands actually had a feeling of being unable to withstand it!
This was still under the support of his thick essence energy. If it were swapped to a strength similar to Ye Yuan’s, the profound artifact longsword in his hand would likely be chopped in half already at this time.
How could he know that even though the Starmoon Sword was only a low-grade holy artifact right now, the material quality of the Starmoon Sword was a top-tier holy artifact’s material quality?
Even if the inscribed array formations were already destroyed, Starmoon Sword’s sharpness was far from what a profound artifact could compare to.
The audience beneath the stage was really unable to imagine that an Eighth Level Divine Traversing martial artist was actually overpowering a Ninth Level Boundless genius and pummeling him!
Originally, everyone thought that it was a battle well-matched in strength. At this time, a one-sided situation actually emerged.
Wu Xi’s thick essence energy actually did not have the least bit of use in front of Ye Yuan. Every move and stance was overpowered by Ye Yuan. It was really aggrieving.
Clank!
A clear and distinct sound. The longsword in Wu Xi’s hand actually snapped into two!
Without a weapon in his hand, Wu Xi’s declining momentum immediately became even more evident.
Ye Yuan naturally would not let go of this chance, immediately displaying the Thousand Flowing Petals!
If talking about which move among Ye Yuan’s sword moves acquired the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword’s true essence most of all, it was undoubtedly this move, the Thousand Flowing Petals.
Coupled with the Starmoon Sword to execute it, the might of this move doubled!
In such an arena battle, the Thousand Flowing Petals made it all the more nowhere for people to run!
The violent floating petals continuously eroded Wu Xi’s defensive ring. Finally, the floating petals breached Wu Xi’s protective essence energy and the piercingly cold sword intent sliced him until he was covered with wounds all over his body.
“Ye Yuan wins!”
Wu Xi’s strength was very formidable. This battle, Ye Yuan expended quite a bit of energy and time. After Wu Jiantong defeated his opponent, he had long come to this platform side, wanting to watch the appearance of Ye Yuan being crippled.
But sadly, what he saw was the Wu Xi covered in wounds all over.
“Elder Qin, this battle is unfair! The weapon in Ye Yuan’s hand is a holy artifact! Wu Xi is unable to unleash his proper strength at all! Him using a holy artifact against his opponents is not fair to everybody!” Wu Jiantong suddenly said to that judge.
This Elder Qin was a Phaseless Realm expert. The battle earlier, he naturally took it into his sights.
Ye Yuan being able to obtain victory, a very large extent was taking advantage of his weapon. Wu Jiantong’s words did not seem to be wrong, either.
For a moment, Elder Qin actually became hesitant.
Holy artifacts to those major family clans were not some rare items. But to these young geniuses, it was very hard to come by.
Other than Ye Yuan, there was no one qualified to use holy artifacts to face their opponents in this competition at all.
Which was also to say that Ye Yuan was the special one among these people!
But the problem was, there was no relevant rule prior to this competition, saying that contestants could not use holy artifacts.
Right then, First Elder’s stately voice suddenly came from above the high platform, “The holy land organizing the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, the objective is for the sake of selecting young geniuses with potential. Using holy artifacts indeed infringes upon this original intention. It does make it unfair. Hence, from the next match onwards, Ye Yuan is not to employ the holy artifact against his opponents.”
The moment these words were uttered, Ye Yuan’s expression could not help changing slightly.
This sort of provisional rule, the targeting was too obvious.
Actually, not just Ye Yuan, the faces of everyone spectating all revealed looks of sympathy.
Actually, everyone all knew that even though holy artifacts were powerful, it needed the martial artist to unleash its power too.
A Divine Traversing Realm martial artist being able to utilize a holy artifact to this sort of extent in itself was extremely seldom-seen.
If it were another person, even if he were given the Starmoon Sword, he still would not be able to unleash one-tenth of Ye Yuan’s ability.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan’s cultivation realm in itself was lower than all the contestants. Therefore, this rule actually made many people’s hearts uncomfortable.
But these words were personally said by the holy land’s First Elder. Who would dare to refute?
The First Elder’s position in the holy land was extremely high. It could be said to be the number one person under the Holy Lord.
The grand meet this time, he was entirely in charge of it.
Even though this sort of provisional rule was inappropriate, no one dared to say anything as well. Who asked the selection competition this time to be organized by them?
Chapter 795 - Fulfilling

“First Elder, didn’t you say that you think very highly of this Ye Yuan? Why …”
First Elder smiled and said, “It’s precisely because I think highly of Ye Yuan that I forbid him from using a holy artifact. Didn’t you notice that after Ye Yuan used a holy artifact, his strength is already a great deal stronger compared to those so-called geniuses? Moreover, this boy didn’t bring out his full strength at all! I banned him from using a holy artifact because I wanted to take a look at his true strength!”
That elder could not help being stunned. Already powerful to such an extent and he actually had not brought out all of his strength yet?
Just what were this Ye Yuan’s limits?
“First Elder, since it’s forbidden to use holy artifacts, then should Ye Yuan’s previous battle results be nullified or not?”
When Wu Jiantong saw the First Elder actually personally made a move to restrict Ye Yuan, not mentioning how excited he was, he immediately climbed up along the pole, wanting to annul Ye Yuan’s previous battle results.
“Previously was the holy land’s issue. Therefore, Ye Yuan’s battle results are valid. This rule will start implementation from the next match!” First Elder’s voice sounded out once more.
Actually, not that the holy land did not consider about the matter of using holy artifacts. But Boundless Realm martial artists were completely unable to unleash the might of a holy artifact.
Even if they used holy artifacts, the augmentation towards their strength was also very limited.
Take Wu Jiantong for example, even if he used the Wu Family’s holy artifact, it was also not possible to beat Nalan Chu. Hence, that was why the holy land did not target holy artifacts and implement restrictions.
But Ye Yuan’s appear
ance completely shattered this kind of situation. This also forced First Elder to change the rules impromptu.
Facing this kind of unfair treatment, Yang Sen’s and Pei Wenqiang’s faces both revealed looks of refusal to comply.
But First Elder’s position was too high. They totally did not dare to refute and also dared to feel indignant but did not dare to speak up.
Rather, it was Ye Yuan himself who appeared quite calm.
He looked at those few vague and insubstantial figures on the high platform and said coolly, “Whatever makes you happy.”
Finished talking, he put away the Starmoon Sword and directly left the competition venue.
Ye Yuan’s battles on the first day ended with complete victories for the three matches like this.
Ye Yuan domineeringly charging into the first-group was also out of everyone’s expectations.
The first day’s three rounds of competition all ended. But the contestants who won all three matches were scanty few; there were only five people!
The rest, the vast majority all had wins and losses. It could be seen that everyone’s strength were all very close.
Beside the competition venue, there was a light screen formed using an array formation. After each round, everyone’s battle results would be displayed on the light screen.
Nalan Chu’s name was impressively ranked at first place.
Right after Nalan Chu were respectively Li Zongtao, Wu Jiantong, Zhang Tianyi, as well as Ye Yuan.
These five people all won the three matches on the first day fully and were tied at first place.
It was just that Ye Yuan expended too much time in the third battle, so he was ranked in the last place.
Of course, the first day’s ranking list did not have much significance. Along with the passing of time, this ranking list would undergo tremendous changes.
Ye Yuan did not have the spare time to worry about these. After returning to his residence, Ye Yuan entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda immediately and continued refining the black metal lump.
Being able to pry into the mysteries of the golden characters, Ye Yuan was filled with vigor right now.
