A deathly silence fell over the entire mountain peak.
Everyone's breathing seemed to stop.
They couldn't believe the scene before their eyes. This Lin Yun had actually defeated Ling Zhen, a half-step Life Profound Realm expert, with a single move.
And he had even used Yuan Gate's Thunder Emperor Scripture.
One must know that within Yuan Gate, there was a significant gap in strength between the Three Little Kings and the Eight Spirit Generals.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically set up a rotating competition within the Three Little Kings for re-ranking.
As for the others, they had to rely on challenge matches.
In normal competitions, to challenge the Three Little Kings, one had to defeat three or more of the Eight Spirit Generals, but this was basically impossible.
So, over time, the Three Little Kings' rotating competition became the biggest highlight of the entire Yuan Gate.
This concerned the distribution of resources within Yuan Gate and also the allocation of resources to the eight divisions.
Therefore, although the previous Three Little Kings were ranked first, second, and third,
The difference in their strength was enormous.
At this moment, the old man in the sky also lingered his gaze on Lin Yun for a moment longer.
Then he announced, "First match, Lin Yun wins!"
After speaking, he flicked his finger, and a green light shot into Ling Zhen's body. The injuries on Ling Zhen's body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Carry him down!"
As his voice fell, two deacons stepped forward, lifted the grounded Ling Zhen, and disappeared from the arena.
As Ling Zhen was carried away, a burst of noise immediately erupted throughout the arena.
Hisses of cold air were endless.
"This Lin Yun, in just one year, was able to instantly defeat a half-step Life Profound Realm expert. And he just used the Thunder Emperor Scripture. The Thunder Emperor Scripture he used is clearly much stronger than the one Lei Qian used. I felt an indelible aura of destruction when he unleashed that World Extinction Spear just now."
"What is his current strength? I feel like even the Little Yuan King might not be his match."
"You're joking. The Little Yuan King is a genuine Life Profound Realm expert, not someone Lei Qian or Ling Zhen can compare to."
"You should know that the Little Yuan King previously defeated two people consecutively by himself."
"Even if this Lin Yun is amazing, it's impossible for him to break through to the Life Profound Realm in just one year and also be able to defeat the Little Yuan King, who has been in the Life Profound Realm for so long, right?"
"Hearing you say that, it seems to be the case."
Qin Tian, standing in the crowd, also had a slightly stunned look in his eyes.
He... he became so much stronger in just one year?
A year ago, Lin Yun still needed to use some tricks to fight a half-step Life Profound Realm expert.
Now, he could actually defeat Ling Zhen, who was much stronger than Lei Qian, with a single move.
This Lin Yun's talent is truly terrifying!
Amidst the crowd's discussions, the Little Yuan King scoffed dismissively. There was a huge gap between the half-step Life Profound Realm and the Life Profound Realm.
"Very good, but it ends here with me!" The Little Yuan King's gaze constantly swept over Lin Yun. He could feel that the other party also had the strength of the Life Profound Realm.
But someone who had just entered the Life Profound Realm couldn't compare to someone like him who had been in the Life Profound Realm for a long time.
Moreover, he was cultivating the Yuan Gate's number one ranked - Origin Emperor Scripture! Chen You, sitting in his seat, also said with a look of praise.
"This kid, he just entered the Life Profound Realm a year ago, and now it seems he has completely stabilized. Otherwise, he wouldn't have defeated Ling Zhen, who possesses the Spirit Emperor Scripture, so easily. Very good!"
Winning this match meant that this division would be able to obtain more resources this time.
The head of the Fourth Division next to him said coldly, "Heh, don't get too smug. You're just not at the bottom."
Chen You smiled faintly and said, "Then will the resources for your Third, Fourth, and Fifth Divisions be enough this time? Haha."
The head of the Second Division also laughed.
"Chen You, you!" The head of the Fourth Division's face suddenly changed.
Ling Zhen's failure meant that their three divisions would have to share the resources of the First and Second Divisions from before.
The heads of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions also had unpleasant expressions.
But they couldn't do anything about it.
Among the eight divisions, the First and Second Divisions were relatively close to the Human Origin Master.
The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Divisions were relatively close to the Earth Origin Master, and the remaining three divisions were naturally relatively close to the Heavenly Origin Master.
The disciples of these divisions on these three large mountains were also distributed in this way.
The head of the Eighth Division also played mediator and said, "Jiang Feng, we are all from the same sect. The second match is about to begin, let's watch the second match."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was no improvement on the face of Jiang Feng, the head of the Fourth Division.
"Hmph," he snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
His gaze turned towards the arena.
"The second round of the rotation match, Lin Yun versus Yuan Cang!" the elder in the sky said indifferently.
The various clamors outside the arena also stopped abruptly, and gazes turned towards the martial arts stage.
Yuan Cang slapped his seat, a slight shimmer appearing on his body, and he appeared on the fighting stage.
Looking at Lin Yun opposite him, he smiled and said, "You're quite good, but this is as far as you go today. I'll show you what a true Life Profound Realm is!"
As his voice fell, the aura on his body instantly erupted. The continuous powerful Origin Power indicated his strength in the Life Profound Realm.
"Life Profound Realm Lesser Completion, just one step away from Life Profound Realm Greater Completion!" Chen You on the seats blurted out, clearly somewhat shocked.
As soon as these words were spoken, another wave of clamor arose around them.
"I told you, Little Yuan King, Yuan Cang, it's impossible for him to lose. Even if Lin Yun breaks through to the Life Profound Realm, so what?"
"It seems this time, we'll still be first."
"Of course, when have we ever lost?"
The discussions of the crowd reached Lin Yun's ears, but a smile appeared on his face.
He hadn't unleashed his full strength in any of the previous battles, and also because of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, even those with higher cultivation than him couldn't see through his realm.
This was why others had always underestimated him.
Looking at Yuan Cang opposite him, Lin Yun immediately established a task in his mind.
[Task: Defeat the Little Yuan King. Reward: One bottle of Heavenly Grade Ninth Rank Saint Origin Pill.]
[Task: Obtain first place among Yuan Gate disciples. Reward: Luck +5, one bottle of Heavenly Grade Ninth Rank Heavenly Heart Pill.]
"Come on, let me see just how good this first place of your Yuan Gate is!"
A smile appeared on Yuan Cang's lips, and then his eyes turned cold. Surging Origin Power also swept out from within him, roaring in the sky like a tidal wave, rolling continuously.
His body slowly floated into the air, the vast Origin Power behind him as thick as a great sea. Looking down at Lin Yun from this vantage point, it was like a deity looking down on a mortal.
"What do you have to fight me with!"
As his voice fell, Yuan Cang suddenly slammed a palm down towards Lin Yun.
Boom! Along with the swing of his massive palm, the surging Origin Power immediately roared up, directly transforming into a huge light palm, overwhelming and blasting towards Lin Yun.
The terrifying aura caused the complexions of many people around to change slightly.
If this palm were to strike them, they would undoubtedly die.
