Qin Kingdom
Time continued to pass, the current middle region of the Qin Kingdom was extremely crowded as the Battle Arena was about to reopen. Of course many will not miss this opportunity because the organizers of the event were also carried out by the Three Princes.
This was a form of their competition to show their troops were stronger than the other Princes. With a strong army, powerful clans as well as other large organizations would definitely support the Prince.
Not just limited to political games. Princes must also have their own army to fight for the throne. All of the Princes also made cooperation with the great clans that were within the Qin Kingdom to support them. Not only limited to that, the cooperation of the Princes also dragged the clans who came from outside.
That was why the Battle Arena would be crowded at this time, the Princes invited very many clans from outside to the Qin Kingdom to lend support to them as the heir to the throne.
On the other hand, Yi Yun was currently continuing to cultivate diligently. He had not been out of the room in nearly three weeks and the day of the Battle at the Arena was very close.
Yi Yun was currently sweating a little because the process he was doing to break through was not instantaneous in order to get more satisfactory results.
Busssh!
Explosions of Slaughter Qi emanating from the Profound Veins of Slaughter Gods also exploded in all directions. Yi Yun's body was currently enveloped by a blackish-red aura and looked like it contained such high killing intent as well as an enormous bloodlust.
Zhep!
The aura faded completely and Yi Yun opened his eyes and his face looked slightly exhausted at this moment.
[Dig!]
[Host has broken through to the ninth stage Spirit Realm]
Yi Yun smiled while panting at this moment. It was in accordance with the System's analysis of the use of forbidden Meridians if it was filled with resources, normally such a thing would not be done because it was a little dangerous, a little dangerous, the cultivators who knew about the eight forbidden Meridians also knew that what Yi Yun was doing could incite paralysis.
However, behind such dangers, there would be immense luck as it made cultivation enhancement more efficient than the usual way.
The system could not do such a thing instantly as it might damage Yi Yun Meridian, therefore, the System also made a long analysis of how to use cultivation using the forbidden Meridian. The trick must be slowly because the forbidden Meridians are not as strong as other Meridians despite being able to exert a much greater power.
That is why instant consumption directly will make a bad impact on the Meridian. But it will be different if it is digested little by little and then increase consumption and reduce it back. It requires special attention so that no impact occurs on the Meridians.
“Finally done as well, breaking through like this is very dangerous. For the eight profound doors and eight meridians fused together, it was extremely fragile even for the first one. What about the second and after? Maybe I should think of a way like this again to break through.” Yi Yun said a little tired.
Because of fatigue, Yi Yun immediately laid his body on the mattress that felt very comfortable and fell asleep.
Two days later, Wang Shu opened the door of Yi Yun's room without knocking. He was astonished to see that Yi Yun seemed to be lazing around, but when he checked Yi Yun's cultivation, he knew that Yi Yun had been cultivating so hard that he fell asleep and did not meditate.
“Yi Yun, the day of the fight will be soon!” said Wang Shu.
Yi Yun woke up from his sleep and felt very fresh in all parts of his body after falling asleep for almost two days.
“Oh well, I will take a shower first, wait for me outside.” Yi Yun said and slowly got off his bed.
Wang Shu was speechless because Yi Yun looked like an ordinary human and not a cultivator, because, a cultivator did not need to cleanse himself and only needed to use qi alone.
Naturally Yi Yun would feel more comfortable doing such a thing since he was already used to it when he was on Earth.
Since Yi Yun walked into the bathroom, Wang Shu just let him go and walked out of the room waiting for Yi Yun to finish in the front room.
After finishing, Yi Yun came out and used his unique clothes, the style of Lin Dong's character in a novel he had read before.
“Is it time?” Yi Yun asked as he looked at Wang Shu who had already gathered together with Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan.
“Yes, in less than five hours, the first fight will begin, already arranged an opponent that suits you even though it seems that now I should try to change it since your cultivation has reached the ninth stage Spirit Realm.” said Wang Shu.
Yi Yun only nodded lightly hearing what Wang Shu said.
While Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan could only be speechless as the increase in Yi Yun's cultivation was extremely abnormal.
“Is there no problem with your body breaking through two stages at once?” Ask Ye Mo in wonder.
“Not at all, I even felt an overflowing power within my body.” Reply Yi Yun.
“Alright, let's go.” Wang Shu did not want to linger because he had to take care of Yi Yun's match again even though he was not too sure he could do it because today was match day. Previously he had only thought that Yi Yun would break through to the eighth stage Spirit Realm level and had not expected that it would be the ninth stage.
The four of them nodded and went straight towards the Battle Arena.
The current Yi Yun was very excited as he was already looking forward to such a thing. He was already waiting for an intense fight that would make his blood boil.
While on the way to the Battle Arena, Yi Yun noticed that many troupes had come to see the fight. He has also speculated that it is related to the organizers of the three Princes.
After arriving at the Arena, Wang Shu brought Yi Yun to a different place from the entrance because Yi Yun was the current participant. While Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan went to different paths that were where the spectators were.
The Colosseum was currently very crowded filled in by cultivators. In the Arena audience place, each place would be filled by one group that came from outside, a group that came from a clan that existed in the Qin Kingdom.
And in three different places, there was a special place, and those three places were where the three Princes were.
Because the Colosseum was so large, it could accommodate an audience of as many as tens of thousands of cultivators.
On the other hand, the current Wang Shu led Yi Yun to where the participants were. When it reached the location, many pairs of eyes were looking at Yi Yun with a look of disbelief because of the times that a child who was close to reaching the age of 14 would participate in the fight.
“Therefore, if you can win the fight continuously, it will attract the attention of the three Princes, once you can do so, you will definitely be recruited by them into the army. If possible, enter the Second Prince's stronghold. But that's also when I agreed to have you come in because I don't know what she's thinking right now.” Wang Shu explained while giving the Perseta token to Yi Yun.
“Good.” Yi Yun nodded small.
Since Yi Yun had already understood, Wang Shu immediately went from that place to where Ye Mo was to watch together.
Yi Yun entered into a very spacious place and at the end of the place, there was a passageway leading to where the Match Arena was located.
“Hey son, what are you doing here? This is not a place to play around!” A young man who was past his twenties spoke in a harsh tone to Yi Yun.
“Urus your own business!” Reply Yi Yun glanced towards the cultivator.
“Hm? It seems you have a great deal of courage! Fine, pray not to meet me in the Arena, I will break all your bones!” said the cultivator while licking his lips like a psychopath.
Yi Yun simply glanced towards the cultivator, “Only with the cultivation level of the ninth stage Spirit Realm did you threaten me? Behold, pray not to meet me, you will feel what it is like to go into the abyss of hell!” Inwardly, he immediately sat in a corner of the room close to the road to the Arena without caring about all the gazes of the cultivator directed at him.
It was almost noon, and the time had come.
“The first fight is a group fight, four people will fight simultaneously. This winner will be challenged by many other participants according to the sequence number, you can withdraw if you feel it is impossible to win. It's a fight for survival, to be the holder, you have to defeat all the challengers. The target of all participants is a consecutive win ten times. Keep in mind, the first fight will make the winner have a three-time winning streak for defeating three cultivators.” A middle-aged man said as he held all of the participant lists.
The participants only nodded small as the Battle Arena was more often done in such a manner.
“First fight! Three cultivators from the Prince's stronghold and one cultivator without a stronghold!” Shouted the middle-aged man while reading out the number of participants.
Yi Yun stared at his number, it was not his turn. Also, it seemed that he would compete after someone won ten Battles, because, Wang Shu said he would fight a cultivator who had a cultivation level not far from him.
The four participants immediately walked towards the Arena while staring at the three opponents.
Yi Yun simply remained relaxed as usual as it had not been his turn to fight.
Not long after, the sounds of intense fighting rang out and the cheers of the audience also sounded extremely boisterous.
Some of the cultivators who were participants also watched the match to look for the enemy's weaknesses if they became the victorious challengers later on.
“Woaaaa!”
The fight was stopped and the audience shouted loudly because the winner had already been found for the first round.
After that, one by one cultivators were summoned to the Arena to challenge the victor.
Yi Yun simply waited from time to time because his turn had arrived.
Not until half an hour later, the previous middle-aged man called out to the next participant.
“Number 88, Yi Yun! You will be the last challenger to the winner with nine wins in a row!” Shouted the middle-aged man.
Yi Yun raised his eyebrows in not expecting that he would be the last challenger, it seemed that someone had planned for the stronghold of one of the princes to be the first holder.
Slowly Yi Yun stood up, he walked towards the Arena noticed by all the cultivators. The cultivators also understood that one of the Princes was cheating to have his subordinates win in the first round.
It had also been predicted by Yi Yun but he did not care at all.
“It looks like today is your unlucky day son!” said the cultivator who threatened Yi Yun earlier.
But Yi Yun simply ignored the idiot and approached towards the middle-aged man who called out to him.
“Are you sure you're a challenger and not backing down?” Asked the middle-aged man because all of this had been planned. Even if Yi Yun did not retreat, they felt that there was no way that Yi Yun would win the fight.
“I'll try.” said Yi Yun and passed by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man did not comment at all and let Yi Yun enter the Arena.
When Yi Yun appeared, the spectators were silent because this time the challenger was a child.
“Hm? What's the matter? Why was the last challenger even a boy?”
“Cih, it seems the young man will win easily.”
The discussion of the spectators also broke when they saw the presence of Yi Yun who only put on a slightly lazy face.
Meanwhile, Wang Shu put on a dark face and glanced towards a certain place, it was where the First Prince was.
Even Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan were also surprised that Yi Yun would be competing against a cultivator who had won nine times in a row. All three understood that the First Prince had committed fraud.
“Tenth challenger, son named Yi Yun! He will try his luck against the defending champion with a nine-time win in a row, Qin En!” Shouted someone from a high place.
There was no crowd cheering as it felt the fight was coming to an end. Meanwhile, the First Prince who was staring at it was smiling widely.
However, on the other side of the place, there was someone who was dumbfoundedly staring at the presence of Yi Yun within the Arena.
“Yun'er small, I did not expect that we would meet again so soon!”
