Chapter 28: Kunlan Sword

Chapter 28: Kunlan Sword

Qin Deren's eyes were stung by the intense light of Qin Yun's Flame Fist, leaving his vision blurred and unable to see or dodge in time!

Qin Yun's Flame Fist was fierce and scorching, roaring out with a sudden surge of fire that enveloped Qin Deren!

Boom!

Qin Deren's abdomen was struck heavily by the raging fist, igniting flames that spread across his body, causing him to fly off the arena like a burning ball, rolling on the ground in agony!

Several teachers rushed over in shock to extinguish the flames.

Qin Yun slowly stood up, his fist still emitting wisps of flame.

He took a deep breath and glanced at Yan Yun, as if telling her, "Your fate will be the same!"

Just moments ago, Yan Yun had been smirking triumphantly, but now she was speechless.

She hurriedly looked towards Wei Xuankun nearby, hoping he would thoroughly incapacitate Qin Yun!

"Qin Deren, the eldest son of Prince Qin, is nothing more than this!" Qin Yun sneered coldly as he gazed at the barely breathing Qin Deren.

Qin Deren was actually the son of Prince Qin!

Everyone finally understood Qin Deren's background and was astonished, but they were even more shocked by Qin Yun's strength, which had defeated such a formidable opponent!

This time, Qin Yun did not win as easily and seemed to have suffered serious injuries.

Of course, Qin Deren was injured even more severely and would need several years of rest to recover.

Incompetence during sparring was inevitable; over the years, many talented young students had been crippled, and everyone had grown accustomed to it.

"Qin Yun won again! Even a Fifth Stage Martial Body can't defeat him, let alone a Fourth Stage!"

"How can he still be a Fourth Stage Martial Body? This is terrifying!"

Many people shared these doubts, finding his strength beyond reason. At this point, many no longer underestimated Qin Yun.

"Even if Qin Yun makes it to the finals, he won't be able to defeat Wei Xuankun after being injured by Qin Deren!"

"It's hard to say now because Teacher Yang has arrived. With her help, Qin Yun might recover."

As they discussed, they saw Yang Shiyue enter from the hall's entrance, and they quickly made way for her.

Yang Shiyue noticed Qin Yun struggling to walk down from the arena, clearly injured.

This alarmed her, and she swiftly used her exceptional lightness skill, leaping into the air and flying towards the arena.

Her simple white dress shimmered with crystalline mist, swaying gracefully as she moved, making her appear ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy descending from heaven.

Such beauty left everyone in awe.

Yang Shiyue glided hundreds of meters through the air and landed lightly beside Qin Yun, quickly supporting him. Her usually cold voice carried a hint of warmth as she softly asked, "Why are you so badly hurt? I told you not to push yourself!"

As she spoke, she immediately channeled her gentle and pure inner energy into Qin Yun's body, helping him heal his internal injuries.

Some male students, seeing Yang Shiyue's tender care for Qin Yun, felt jealous.

"I was careless and fell for a trap!" Qin Yun briefly recounted the incident, which infuriated her.

On the other side, Wei Xuankun had already won, and easily so!

The competition had narrowed down to four participants. The next round would determine who would face each other in the finals!

From the current situation, aside from Wei Xuankun, the other three were all injured to varying degrees.

Two of the more seriously injured students had their teachers decide to withdraw them from the competition. Even if they won another match, they wouldn't stand a chance against Wei Xuankun in the end!

"Qin Yun and Wei Xuankun, you two will face each other in the final match," said Dean Zhang, standing beside Qin Yun and advising, "It's not too late to withdraw now!"

Qin Yun had sustained significant injuries during his fight with Qin Deren, and he was only a Fourth Stage Martial Body. Reaching this stage in the Tian Shi Martial Association was already an achievement worth pride.

"No!" Qin Yun's expression was resolute. His inner energy was unharmed; only his arm and body were sore.

Having come this far, he could not give up now!

"Remember, if you feel you can't go on, don't force it!" Yang Shiyue's voice was stern, but her eyes were filled with concern.

With Yang Shiyue's inner energy aiding him, Qin Yun's injuries improved significantly.

He took a deep breath and walked briskly towards Tianshi Hall, where the largest arena was located.

In the center of Tianshi Hall, Wei Xuankun stood proudly on the main arena, his heart filled with jealousy upon seeing Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue so close. His eyes were full of malice.

Seeing Qin Yun approach, he gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Yun, I will utterly destroy you and make you nothing more than trash in Yang Shiyue's eyes!"

"I admit, you possess the Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul and are comparable to a Fifth Stage Martial Body, but against me, you have no chance."

As Wei Xuankun spoke, an old servant below threw a sword onto the arena.

He caught the sword and declared loudly, "This sword was forged by my father. It is called the Kunlan Sword, a Lower Grade Spirit Weapon worth half a million crystals!"

"I, Wei Xuankun, always respect the strong. Qin Yun is younger than me and has lower cultivation. If he wins today, I am willing to gift him my beloved sword!"

After saying this, he walked to the edge of the arena, placed the sword there, and looked at Qin Yun arrogantly. "Qin Yun, if you defeat me, take this sword yourself!"

This was a Lower Grade Spirit Weapon, and Wei Xuankun, a Fifth Stage Martial Body, possessed such a powerful weapon!

The people below the martial stage all gazed at Kunlan Sword, drawing in sharp breaths, their faces filled with envy and astonishment.

The son of a Master of Unique Patterns is indeed different—he possesses a precious spirit weapon at such a young age!

Many of the students present came from prestigious families, but they could only envy the spirit weapon!

Seeing the students' envious expressions, Yan Yun smiled smugly and said, "Brother Kun knows multiple spirit-level martial techniques, far surpassing those broken ones Qin Yun has! At the Fifth Level of Martial Body, one primarily cultivates inner strength. Brother Kun can transform qi into strength, far exceeding other Fifth Level martial artists."

Transforming qi into strength signifies reaching the middle stage of the Fifth Level of Martial Body, half a step into the Sixth Level!

Those who had previously lost to Wei Xuankun still harbored some resentment, but upon hearing Yan Yun's words, they had no choice but to admit defeat, as none of them could condense inner strength!

Now, everyone felt that the outcome was already decided, for Qin Yun was facing an opponent nearly at the Sixth Level of Martial Body!

"Tian Shi Martial Association, the decisive battle begins now!" Dean Zhang presided over the event himself, also believing that Qin Yun had no chance of winning; he only hoped Qin Yun wouldn't be too badly injured.

Wei Xuankun stood still, his blue robes fluttering, emitting a faint golden mist that enveloped his body, forming a protective aura!

"It's the Adamantine Aura Shield! A lower-tier spirit-level martial art! Master Wei truly possesses many rare martial arts!" Cui Hui laughed heartily, looking at the grim-faced Yang Shiyue and smugly declaring, "This aura shield is powered by inner strength and is difficult to break with inner qi. Qin Yun is bound to lose!"
