Chapter 70: A Battle Shocks the City (7)
The moment the first realm gate opened, Yun Che faintly heard a soft, muffled sound from within his profound veins. Subsequently, the profound force within his veins suddenly began to expand wildly. And this expansion was by no means simple—even the density increased at an astonishing rate... The simultaneous surge in both quantity and density, a state that completely defied common sense, manifested with extreme reality in Yun Che's profound veins the moment "Evil Soul" was activated.
Accompanying this was the complete rampage of Yun Che's profound force!
Mo Li had told Yun Che that the ability of the "Evil God Art" was "rampage"—a frenzied explosion of profound force!
The rampaging profound force surged out from the fifty-four profound gates, instantly flooding every corner of Yun Che's body. A terrifying sensation of his profound veins and body nearly being torn apart came over him, but it was only "nearly being torn apart," not that his veins and body were completely unable to bear it. Mo Li had said that he could now barely activate the first realm, "Evil Soul," and indeed, it was somewhat barely!
Boom!!
Feng Guangyi's fist collided solidly with Yun Che's, producing a dull and ear-shattering impact. This was the most direct confrontation of pure profound force, without any tricks.
Crack!!
The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, heard clearly by everyone, and no one found it surprising. Then, a piercing scream followed... And this scream left everyone utterly dumbfounded...
Because the one screaming was not Yun Che, but... Feng Guangyi!!
The bones of his four fingers, excluding his thumb, all snapped at the moment of impact, and even his wrist was heavily bent back. But Yun Che's fist did not stop there; after breaking through Feng Guangyi's fist, it continued forward with rampaging profound force, heavily striking his chest.
Feng Guangyi's protective profound force shattered like fragile glass in an instant. He felt as if a thousand-pound boulder had slammed into his chest. His entire body flew backward like a withered leaf swept up by a fierce gale, his back crashing heavily into a pillar in the center of the hall, rebounding several meters before he landed on the ground in a twisted posture, eyes wide, unable to stand for a long time.
The hall fell into dead silence. Everyone had their mouths wide open, unable to believe what they had just seen...
In a direct confrontation of pure profound force, a Level 1 of the Entry Xuan Realm had actually defeated—no, thoroughly crushed—a Level 3 of the Entry Xuan Realm! Not to mention the young disciples, even the elders who had weathered countless storms over half a lifetime found it hard to believe.
Yun Che slowly lowered his arm, calmed his mind, and closed the briefly activated first realm gate. Instantly, the swelling and stinging sensation throughout his profound veins and body disappeared, and a slight sense of weakness spread over him. He stepped forward a few paces, looking at Feng Guangyi, whose eyes were filled with shock, humiliation, and disbelief, and said indifferently, "I'm arrogant because I have enough capital to be arrogant. But you acting arrogantly in front of me is only asking for humiliation. A dignified Level 3 of the Entry Xuan Realm, losing so miserably in a pure profound force contest against me, a Level 1 of the Entry Xuan Realm. Hah, now do you know who the joke is?"
"You..." Feng Guangyi gritted his teeth, struggling to stand up, his right hand trembling in pain, his face pale... He knew clearly that from that one blow, he had suffered considerable internal injuries.
The hall remained silent. Most disciples of the seven sects were completely stunned. They often sparred among their sects, and they knew Feng Guangyi's strength well. His "Nine Changes of Wind and Cloud" was enough to throw off opponents two levels higher than him. But his "Nine Changes of Wind and Cloud" had only reached the second change before Yun Che landed a solid punch that left him in a sorry state.
"Yun Che! Do you really think you've defeated me?" Feng Guangyi, humiliated and furious, clenched his left fist tightly. "Just now, I was only careless and held back. Otherwise, how could a Level 1 of the Entry Xuan Realm like you possibly win against me!"
With that, he raised his left hand, reactivating his profound art, causing whirlwinds to swirl around him. But anyone could see that this time, the whirlwinds were nearly half as weak as before—clearly indicating he was already seriously injured.
"Enough!" the Windcloud Mystic Mansion's Mansion Master snorted coldly. "Guangyi, you've already lost. Withdraw now!"
Feng Guangyi clenched his left hand tighter and gritted his teeth. "Mansion Master, I haven't lost! I was just careless and underestimated the enemy earlier. My Nine Changes of Wind and Cloud was only at the second change. If I had executed it fully..."
"Shut up!" the Windcloud Mystic Mansion's Mansion Master was now angry. "In the pure profound force contest just now, whether you held back or not, anyone who isn't blind could see it clearly! A Level 3 of the Entry Xuan Realm losing to a Level 1 of the Entry Xuan Realm, and you're still making excuses! Are you not ashamed enough to bring more disgrace to our Windcloud Mystic Mansion?"
Feng Guangyi's face darkened. He cast a hateful glance at Yun Che and walked back with his head lowered.
Yun Che took out a low-grade Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it, slowly recovering his profound force. Then he stood back in the center of the hall, his gaze sweeping arrogantly over the seating areas of the seven sects, and said indifferently, "That's three already. Next... who's coming!?"
He stood there like a proud king, releasing the pride of a king and proclaiming the declaration of a king.
Who's next?
This was an arrogant challenge, and even more so, provocation and a slap in the face! Because he, a newly entered disciple of New Moon Mystic Palace, had already defeated three disciples from their seven sects in a row! And these three were no ordinary disciples—all were famous among the younger generation of New Moon City, recognized as genius-level talents! Yet today, at the very battlefield they used to provoke and establish dominance over New Moon Mystic Palace, they had been consecutively defeated by Yun Che alone.
And the opponent was merely at Level 1 of the Entry Xuan Realm!
Everyone's gaze toward Yun Che had completely changed. When he defeated Xuan Yu, they thought it was because of his bizarre movement techniques catching the opponent off guard. When he defeated Yan Ming, they thought it was because the opponent repeatedly made low-level mistakes. But when he defeated Feng Guangyi... everyone saw it clearly—it was a straightforward, no-nonsense clash of profound force and an outright overwhelming victory!
To crush a Level 3 of the Entry Xuan Realm to that extent in a direct confrontation required at least the profound force of a Level 5 or even Level 6 of the Entry Xuan Realm! Yet a Level 1 of the Entry Xuan Realm had unleashed such terrifying profound force—what did that mean? The only explanation was that he had deliberately avoided breaking through, keeping his profound force level very low, thus training his force to be exceptionally dense. In this way, although his profound force level was only Level 1 of the Entry Xuan Realm, its intensity might be comparable to Level 5 or even Level 6 of the Entry Xuan Realm!
This was the only possibility everyone could think of!
In other words, this Yun Che... at sixteen years old, possessed strength at Level 5 or above of the Initial Xuan Realm!!
Realizing this, everyone was profoundly shaken! What monstrous talent and potential! Such talent, even within the seven sects, was the best...
