Chapter 0244: Triplets

Chapter 0244: Triplets

The following duels mostly consisted of battles between Intermediate Duelists and Junior Duelists. Out of ten matches, only one would feature a battle involving an Advanced Duelist.

It was evident that Advanced Duelists were not numerous, and those confident in winning were even fewer.

Therefore, Advanced Duelists seldom challenged others. They would only step onto the arena when they were in excellent condition and felt very confident about their chances of victory.

The matches in the morning allowed Qin Yun to witness many martial techniques. It was truly an eye-opener, and he understood why some students were willing to spend so many crystal coins to watch the duels. The vast majority of students came to see advanced martial techniques in the dueling arena.

It was now noon, and finally, it was Qin Yun's turn to step onto the arena!

"Qin Yun, versus the Triplets, step onto the arena!" the old referee shouted loudly.

The students in the dueling arena were about to exclaim when they heard Qin Yun's name, but upon hearing "Triplets," they were immediately stunned.

The entire arena fell silent, the tension palpable.

After a few seconds of quiet, there was an eruption of astonished exclamations!

The match between Qin Yun and the Triplets meant that Qin Yun would be taking on three opponents at once!

The Triplets were well-known in the dueling arena. Their name carried weight because it was the title of a trio of triplet duelists!

The strength of these triplets was terrifying. Among Intermediate Duelists, they were unbeatable.

To maintain their dominance, they spent crystal coins to stay at the Intermediate level, forming a team that dominated the intermediate arena.

Qin Yun had already stepped onto the arena, and many thought he was crazy for daring to challenge the strongest team at the eighth level of the Martial Body stage all by himself.

Although Qin Yun had taken his place on the arena, the Triplets had not yet appeared.

If they did not show up within the designated time, it would mean they forfeited, and the victory would automatically go to Qin Yun.

"The Triplets always appear very late. Don't worry, they will definitely show up."

"As long as they are still alive, they will definitely step onto the arena. After all, Qin Yun is offering up Xuan points. Only a fool would pass up such an opportunity!"

"Qin Yun must be out of his mind. He just earned two million Xuan points yesterday, and now he's about to give it all away."

"He's too eager for success... Maybe he found yesterday's victories too easy, which is why he's challenging three people at once today. If he wins, he'll earn three million Xuan points."

"He’s just sixteen, and his youth shows in his recklessness."

Qin Yun heard the crowd's murmurs but remained unfazed, having already faced similar doubts from Lan Fengjin and Xue Ziyeh.

He could understand the others' perspectives. After all, they couldn't possibly comprehend his immense strength.

Another point was that everyone knew that as a Star Profound Martial Academy student, Qin Yun faced significant restrictions in the dueling arena.

This severely limited his ability to fight with all his strength, greatly affecting his performance.

There was typically a brief preparation period before the match started, and the Triplets usually appeared just as this preparation time was about to end.

As the preparation time was nearing its end, a voice suddenly called out.

"The Triplets have appeared!"

"They’re always fashionably late, perhaps to ratchet up the pressure on their opponents." "Is this their way of psyching out their opponents?"

"Haha, Qin Yun probably didn’t know before that his opponents would be so terrifying. Just look at his face—it looks pretty grim!"

Qin Yun was annoyed at having been deceived by the elder. The elder had told him that these three guys were from the Eastern Palace and their strength was quite ordinary.

However, it now seemed that these three individuals were extremely formidable.

Qin Yun looked towards the entrance of the dueling arena, where three handsome men in tight blue attire appeared. From head to toe, they were dressed in blue. They were triplets, identical in appearance, each having a slim and handsome pale face.

As soon as they entered, they waved to the audience with great politeness, their faces filled with confident and hearty smiles.

Finally, they stepped onto the arena, walking up to the dueling platform, standing fifty meters opposite Qin Yun.

"Qin Yun, you are indeed a notable figure. We’ve heard much about you over the past few days, and today we’ve finally met you in person. You haven’t disappointed us." One of the men said with a smile.

"I can see that you are more popular than I am. Many audience members seem quite friendly towards you." Qin Yun said with a wry smile.

"That’s only because we can bring them benefits. If we win against you, they’ll earn quite a lot of crystal coins." The man said with a smile. "By the way, my name is Da Yao, this is my second brother, Er Yao, and this is my third brother, Xiao Yao. We share a mental connection, so I usually speak on their behalf."

Qin Yun smiled, "You guys are really a strange combination. I hope you’ll show some mercy."

Da Yao chuckled, "Actually, the head of our Eastern Palace has always hoped you’d join us. It’s just unfortunate that you decided to go to the West Palace. But still, we’ll be fellow disciples in the future."

"The disciples of the Eastern Palace are definitely different from the others." Qin Yun smiled slightly, finding their politeness somewhat surprising.

"The other three palaces are full of wolf-like aggressiveness, which helps them secure a lot of resources. Our Eastern Palace is too gentle, which is why... we are the weakest palace in the Blue Spirit Star Palace."

Qin Yun suddenly understood why they came to the dueling arena—to earn Xuan points. It would be too competitive to earn them in the Blue Spirit Star Palace.

Da Yao spoke gently with a smile, "Qin Yun, we will definitely win against you today. We don’t wish to hurt you in this match, otherwise your wife might come after us! So, it’s better if you surrender. We’ll give you three hundred thousand crystal coins to minimize your losses."

Qin Yun could imagine how domineering Xiao Yuelan must be in the Blue Spirit Star Palace to make the Eastern Palace disciples fear her so much.

"Don't worry. Even if I can’t beat you, I won’t let you hurt me." Qin Yun said with a smile.

"That’s good!" Da Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

As the preparation time ended, the audience immediately became excited. They had bet a lot of crystal coins on the triplets. As long as the triplets won, they could earn some crystal coins from the Star Profound Martial Academy.

The entire audience stood up, shouting, "The triplets will win! The triplets will win!"

The collective roar echoed, shaking the central area of the Star Profound Martial Academy. The passionate cheers could even be heard by many students outside the arena, making them curious to see what was happening inside.

As the elder referee watched the last grains of sand fall from the hourglass, he shouted loudly, "The match begins!"

A large hourglass was flipped, and the match officially started!

In an instant, two of the triplets quickly moved, positioning themselves at three different points, surrounding Qin Yun.

"Ha!"

The triplets suddenly grunted and shot three blue orbs of Inner Energy from a distance, rapidly charging towards Qin Yun from three directions.

Qin Yun, who had been tense and alert, immediately stepped back upon hearing their grunt, avoiding the sudden blue lights that rushed towards him.

Qin Yun successfully dodged and felt a secret joy in his heart.

He thought that the three blue lights would collide and explode, but they didn’t!

The three blue lights collided and merged into a single, larger orb.

The blue light orb seemed to be controlled as it rushed fiercely toward Qin Yun!

Qin Yun was caught off guard and was struck by the blue light orb, knocking him back and nearly sending him off the arena.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, adjusting his balance in mid-air. The moment his feet touched the ground, he sprinted forward, narrowly avoiding the blue light orb that was hot on his heels.

After dodging the blue light orb, Qin Yun immediately charged toward one of the brothers. However, just as he rushed forward, that brother suddenly launched another blue light orb.

This blue light orb was extremely strange and fast, carrying powerful energy. When hit, it felt like being struck by a heavy object!

Qin Yun hurriedly dodged, but the moment the blue light orb flew past him, it suddenly exploded!

Boom!

A blue storm surged, sending Qin Yun flying and leaving his black clothes tattered.

"What a bizarre move!" Qin Yun cursed inwardly.

The audience erupted in waves of admiring shouts.

"The triplets are formidable! That's their signature attack formation, the Death Triangle Formation!"

"The three of them each stand at a point and use esoteric techniques to launch orbs of inner energy, chasing and attacking anyone inside the triangle."

"Anyone inside the triangle will be overwhelmed if they don't react quickly, and even if they do, they'll eventually be worn down. If Qin Yun attacks one of them, all three will focus their inner energy on him, and there's always a floating orb that could explode at any moment."

Inside the triangle formation, Qin Yun dodged left and right, avoiding the blue light orbs, each one a concentrated ball of inner energy and inner force. Sometimes he managed to dodge them, but often they exploded just as they flew past him.

"These three have formidable mental energy! They're using it to control the inner energy!"

Although Qin Yun was in a disheveled state, he had figured out their pattern and thought, "They're not using telepathy. It's just that their mental energy is strong enough to allow them to communicate secretly."

"If that's the case, I'll use even stronger mental power to disrupt the Death Triangle Formation they've built with their mental energy. Inside the triangle, their combined mental power controls the high-speed movement of the inner energy."

After analyzing the situation, Qin Yun devised his strategy. He shouted loudly and unleashed the powerful Jushensha!

Mental energy was released through Jushensha, and the invisible mental power, like countless transparent needles, pierced through the triangle formation, destroying the invisible web of mental energy. This caused the floating orbs of inner energy to lose control, flying upwards and crashing into the barrier, causing violent explosions.

The triplets' handsome faces twisted in terror!

They knew Qin Yun had strong mental power and had prepared for it, but they hadn't expected it to be this terrifying, far stronger than theirs by several times.

When the triplets were hit by Qin Yun's Jushensha, their minds fell into chaos, and their thoughts scattered.

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Yun pushed the Fire Cloud Step to its limit, instantly appearing in front of one of them. He then unleashed the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound, sending that person flying off the arena.

Roar! Roar!

Two more roars followed!

The remaining two were blasted off the arena by the sound waves.
