Chapter 0058 Preparing for the Top Ten

Many people thought that Qin Yun would be suppressed by the giant right from the start!

But who knew that after he unleashed the Mountain-Shaking Form, the aura he released was no less than that of the giant.

With just two moves, he knocked the giant down and sent him flying.

After Qin Yun performed the Mountain-Shaking Form, he saw his opponent as a mountain and himself as a giant reaching the waist of the mountain, pushing against it!

His momentum was like that of pushing a mountain, which is the true power of the Mountain-Shaking Form.

When the giant stood up, Qin Yun immediately flew over and delivered another Mountain-Shaking Form, sending out a burst of air that flung the giant away.

*Bang!*

The giant's massive body landed heavily off the stage, shattering the thick stone bricks on the ground!

"Tulou wins and advances to the top hundred!"

Qi Xue watched Qin Yun walk down from the stage and frowned, saying, "This guy easily made it into the top hundred. Even I wouldn't find it so easy to knock such a big guy off the stage!"

Ye Chenlei looked serious: "That was the Mountain-Shaking Form. What's this guy's background? How did he master such an obscure martial art? He must have studied it for many years!"

Xiao Lang laughed: "You're a big guy yourself; you must be afraid of this kind of martial art, right?"

Ye Chenlei scoffed, "Him? He's still too green! I have the Thunder Axe Martial Soul. With a surge of my inner strength, I can release lightning. If he tries to get close, he'll be struck."

Qin Feng had gone out for a while. When he came back in, he had a puzzled look on his face and said, "Just received news that the masked man lives in Runes Hall!"

Qi Xue exclaimed, "Could it really be Qin Yun?"

Qin Feng shook his head, "The masked man is not Qin Yun! Yang Shiyue brought Qin Yun back from Heavenly Profound Martial Academy and took him to Runes Hall. My sources at Runes Hall found out that the masked man is a blacksmith there, specializing in making low-grade bone steel."

"No wonder he's so mysterious. The people in Runes Hall have always been like that. There's nothing strange about it. It's good that it's not Qin Yun; otherwise, we'd have to report it to the family." Ye Chenlei relaxed and sat down to drink.

...

Inside Runes Hall, in a training room.

Yang Shiyue was sparring with Qin Yun.

After more than an hour of practice, Qin Yun was exhausted, but Yang Shiyue didn't even break a sweat.

Yang Shiyue smiled sweetly, took out a special drink, poured a cup, and handed it to Qin Yun, saying, "There are about forty days left until the rankings are finalized. You should try to improve as much as possible during this time if you want to aim for the top spot!"

Qin Yun drank the purple liquid, finding it extremely bitter. Since it was given by Yang Shiyue, he had to force himself to finish it.

Seeing Qin Yun's grimace, Yang Shiyue let out a tinkling laugh, "It is a bit bitter, but it helps restore your energy quickly."

Sure enough, shortly after drinking it, Qin Yun felt his strength return miraculously.

Then, he continued sparring with Yang Shiyue until he was completely exhausted.

Sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, and drinking the bitter liquid, Qin Yun said regretfully, "Teacher, the Wind-Cutting Technique is so powerful... but I can't use it. This limits my strength greatly!"

He had defeated Yan Qingyu with that move before, and without it, his strength would be significantly reduced.

Yang Shiyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "The Wind-Cutting Technique is a sword technique. Let me see if I can modify it into a hammer technique... After all, you need to use a forging hammer, and it will help you in the future."

Qin Yun was delighted and smiled, "Teacher, you're truly a martial arts master. Your understanding of martial arts seems to be much faster than mine. When you guide me, it feels like you're a grandmaster, and you're so beautiful too!"

Yang Shiyue chuckled, "You little rascal, don't be so smooth-talking... I only understand martial arts quickly, but I haven't grasped their essence. It's mostly theoretical. When I was young, I read a lot of martial arts manuals, which laid the foundation."

"Practice here by yourself. I'll go and modify a hammer technique for you." She entered her room, needing a quiet environment to work on the technique.

To narrow the gap between himself and Yang Shiyue, Qin Yun needed to work harder.

After practicing for more than an hour, he suddenly received a notification.

Someone was challenging him and wanted him to respond within two hours.

"I've barely entered the top hundred, and someone is already challenging me!" Qin Yun wanted to see who it was.

...

More than an hour later.

Qin Yun walked through the paths of Runes Villa, heading towards Hidden Dragon Martial Arena.

On the way, a middle-aged woman approached him and handed him a piece of paper.

He opened it and saw that it was written by Meng Feiling.

"Little Brother Yun, I'm being closely watched recently, so we won't meet. To avoid exposing your identity, wish you all the best!"

After reading the elegant handwriting, he tightly clutched it in his hand and burned it with flames.

Upon entering Hidden Dragon Martial Arena, he immediately focused on Platform Seven, where his opponent stood. It was an old man, also a Sixth Rank Martial Body cultivator, looking very confident in his clean white clothes with rolled-up sleeves, exuding the demeanor of a master.

Qin Yun quickly climbed onto the stage, and the referee announced the start of the match.

"Watch this move!"

The old man in white was courteous, but his moves were anything but gentle.

His claw techniques were fierce and aggressive, like a wolf's attack, causing many spectators to feel secretly alarmed.

Qin Yun was somewhat surprised, not expecting to encounter such a formidable opponent so soon.

The speed of the old man in white was very fast, both in his attacks and his running, surpassing Qin Yun's speed.

In the luxurious suite on the second floor of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arena, Xiao Lang held a glass of wine and smiled faintly, "Attacks like a wolf, speed like the wind—this is where Old Wolf excels."

Ye Chenlei said, "Old Wolf is Yuemei's attendant, right? He's truly strong!"

Xiao Lang smiled, "That girl Yuemei must have entered her attendant in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Association to get him into the top ten. If someone can't even defeat her attendant, they'll be laughed at. She sure loves to play around!"

On the martial stage, Qin Yun did not know that Old Wolf was Xiao Yuemei's attendant; he only knew that his opponent was formidable and had extensive combat experience.

He had exchanged over a hundred moves with Old Wolf but still couldn't discern what his martial soul was.

Up until now, he had been thoroughly suppressed and could only dodge the relentless attacks.

"Could this old man have a dual-attribute martial soul, a Wind Wolf martial soul?" Qin Yun speculated inwardly.

Dual-attribute martial souls were relatively common, possessing two attributes within one martial soul.

The Mountain Shaking Style was effective against slow-moving opponents with extremely strong defenses. However, against such a nimble opponent, it was impossible to execute.

Qin Yun was quite puzzled; he couldn't use the Fire Cloud Steps or the Wind-Cleaving Technique, otherwise, he could have caught the opponent off guard and defeated him.

The Wind-Cleaving Technique was specifically designed to counter wind-based martial arts.

He had attacked more than ten times without putting any pressure on the opponent, primarily because the opponent's speed was too fast, always managing to evade!

"There's no other way!" Qin Yun steeled himself and gathered a surge of inner energy.

He was going to use the Qi Burst Technique!
