Chapter 0253: Profound Skill

Interestingly, no students from the Genius Academy took the stage! No matter how much Xiao Yanglong threatened or yelled, none of the students went up. They were all paralyzed by fear.

Soon, two squads were declared disqualified.

The Genius Academy was now down to eight squads. If this continued, and no squad went up within five seconds, another squad would be disqualified…

"Qin Yun, you might not have enough time either. How about this—I'll send all the remaining squads up at once, to settle this once and for all. That way, you won't have to worry about running out of time!"

Xiao Yanglong eyed the hourglass, making his gamble. At this point, no one knew what would happen when the sand ran out—whether Qin Yun would win by default or the Genius Academy would claim victory through time.

"Alright, send all eight of your squads up!" Qin Yun agreed. This was allowed as long as both sides were in agreement.

With eight squads rushing the stage, there were over thirty people. With nothing left to fear, the students leaped up one after another.

The entire arena erupted in a frenzy of excitement. Qin Yun was about to take on eight squads by himself!

"Is Qin Yun being too confident? If he refused and the Genius Academy didn't send anyone up, the squads would be disqualified one by one, and they would definitely win by time in the end."

"Exactly, Qin Yun is being overconfident!"

"Not necessarily, because no one can accurately tell how much time is left."

"If Qin Yun wins, that would be absolutely terrifying!"

"The Genius Academy still has at least five students at the eighth level of the Martial Body stage. The rest are at the seventh level, but they should still be able to play a role."

"Qin Yun is likely to lose. After all, even a hero can't take on a whole pack of wolves!"

Lan Fengjin bit her lip, her eyes fixed on Qin Yun. This was the moment that would decide everything!

Xiao Yanglong smiled smugly, certain that victory was already decided. In his eyes, even someone at the ninth level of the Martial Body stage couldn't defeat so many people.

These students were exceptionally skilled, especially after specialized training that had significantly boosted their abilities.

The battle began!

The Genius Academy students immediately used Diamond Inner Energy to launch a frenzied attack on Qin Yun!

They spread out across the stage to avoid accidentally hitting each other and to prevent Qin Yun from taking out multiple opponents at once.

Qin Yun soared into the air, dodging the sudden barrage of inner energy attacks!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The countless inner energy attacks collided with each other, creating explosions and flashes that engulfed the entire arena.

The violent explosions of inner energy echoed through the sky, drowning out all other sounds. The sheer intensity of the scene had the crowd on the edge of their seats!

The spectators thought Qin Yun was making a huge mistake by jumping into the air, leaving himself wide open for attacks.

The Genius Academy students on the ground aimed at Qin Yun, ready to strike. But just as they were about to move, they saw him clench his fist, raise his arm high, and then slam it down hard onto the ground!

He used his arm like a giant hammer to execute the sixth move of the Forging Dragon style—Heaven Collapse!

What was terrifying was that he used pure inner energy to unleash the Tsunami Strike, creating shockwaves that amplified the power of the sixth move of the Forging Dragon style—Heaven Collapse!

The Tsunami Strike had reached an unparalleled level of mastery. Once unleashed, it caused the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble! Combined with the Heaven-Collapsing Style of the Forging Dragon technique, its immense power was sheer madness, as if the earth itself was shaking and the heavens were collapsing!

The powerful strike, fueled by pure inner energy, caused Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion Arm to ache intensely. Despite the Diamond Inner Pearl within his Heavenly Lion Arm, the force still tore through it, causing intense pain.

The force Qin Yun unleashed crushed all the incoming clusters of inner energy that were flying up!

Boom!

The force of the Tsunami Heaven-Collapsing hit the bronze martial arts platform, releasing a deafening explosion that shook the entire Star Profound Martial Academy!

"Ahhhh—"

Waves of painful screams echoed. Over thirty students from the Genius Academy on the martial arts platform were struck by this terrifying force, their bodies cracking open and bleeding as they were thrown off the platform.

The powerful shockwave, still brimming with force, surged beyond the platform's barrier, forming an incredibly strong gale that blew in all directions, causing many to cry out in alarm.

Most terrifyingly, the Tsunami Strike's shockwaves continuously battered the platform, with ten consecutive waves penetrating the platform, shaking its surroundings and causing fissures to appear in the ground.

The most destructive force of the tremors spread beneath the ground, causing the arena to collapse. Even the audience seats were torn apart, and the entire battlefield was now in a dangerous state, on the verge of complete collapse.

Qin Yun slowly landed on the ground, covering his Heavenly Lion Arm with one hand, and slightly panting, asked, "Did we win?"

The scene was in chaos. After the howling winds stopped, everyone looked at the large, devastated arena in shock!

Those nearest the platform were the most disheveled, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at Qin Yun on the platform.

Xiao Yanglong was filled with shock and anger; Qin Yun's power had instilled a hint of fear in him!

"Inner energy, inner energy… Qin Yun has reached the ninth level of the Martial Body stage!"

"Was that the Tsunami Strike just now? Legend says that using pure inner energy to perform martial skills signifies a divine level of mastery, and he has achieved it!"

"Qin Yun at the ninth level of the Martial Body stage with a divine Tsunami Strike—such power is terrifying!"

Whispers spread like wildfire! When they realized Qin Yun had reached the ninth level of the Martial Body stage, the arena erupted in astonishment once more!

Several shocked vice principals and teachers looked down at the devastated arena in disbelief!

In the sky above the arena, traces of pure inner energy remained, indicating that someone had just used pure inner energy to perform a martial skill!

Lan Fengjin widened her eyes, unable to believe what she had just witnessed!

She had actually seen someone use pure inner energy to perform a high-level martial technique—such power was utterly terrifying!

The elders responsible for managing the arena felt heartache and shock seeing the arena in such a state, knowing it was all done by Qin Yun!

"Heavenly Prodigy Academy wins!" shouted the grey-haired old referee, his voice filled with surprise.

The scene was silent for a moment before erupting in cheers!

Among them, the injured students of the Heavenly Prodigy Academy shouted the loudest!

Thanks to Qin Yun, they had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat at the last possible moment!

Meanwhile, the people from the Genius Academy were busy dealing with their injured students. Those hit hardest by the Tsunami Heaven-Collapsing force were fortunate to survive.

Xiao Yanglong's eyes blazed with rage and hatred as he glared at Qin Yun, who stood tall and unwavering on the platform.

His murderous aura surged, silently enveloping the platform.

Originally, the Genius Academy was about to win, and when that happened, Xiao Yanglong would not only gain the favor of these students, but also receive rich rewards from the mentors!

But now, the students who were willing to follow him have been mostly destroyed by Qin Yun, and he has also lost that reward!

It would be strange if Xiao Yanglong wasn’t angry!

Before this, many people thought Qin Yun challenging Xiao Yanglong was like an egg striking a stone, but now, no one dares to say what the final outcome will be!

At this moment, Qin Yun has already shown terrifying strength!

The Heavenly Prodigy Academy had won, and the students went to an elder to receive their rewards! Qin Yun also walked down the martial stage and headed towards Huo Zhong and the others.

"Brother Yun, well done! Out of all the students from Star Profound Martial Academy, I only admire you!" Murong Daren said with a grin as he walked over.

"Brother Yun, thanks to you, we all received five billion Xuan points!" Huo Zhong was also very happy.

"Qin Yun, it’s my luck to meet you!" Xue Ziye smiled naturally and beautifully, then softly asked, "Is your arm okay? The power you just unleashed isn’t something a ninth-level martial body could endure!"

"It’s fine, I have the Heavenly Lion Arm!" Qin Yun said calmly with a smile, "I didn’t expect that right after I got out of the dungeon, I’d run into something to shake things up and even earn five billion Xuan points along the way."

At this moment, many students came over to thank Qin Yun and congratulate their team.

Lan Fengjin smiled warmly and said to Qin Yun, "The five billion crystal coins I spent weren’t wasted. Seeing how hard you worked for the mentor’s reward for me, let’s call it even!"

"Sister Lan, what exactly is that reward?" Murong Daren asked curiously.

Qin Yun and the others also looked at Lan Fengjin with full curiosity.

"Wu Hun Xuan Gong, or simply Xuan Gong," Lan Fengjin said, her eyes filled with excitement.

Qin Yun and the others all took a deep breath!

Xuan Gong was a type of martial soul art that was extremely rare and only recorded in books. The most amazing thing about it was that it allowed the martial soul to perform strange and powerful transformations. For example, a Fire Martial Soul, with certain Xuan Gong, could undergo mysterious transformations into various forms. In the records of books, it was described that a Wuxing realm martial artist could turn a Fire Martial Soul into a Flame Horse, capable of covering vast distances in a single day.

In short, Xuan Gong was a technique that made the martial soul mysterious and powerful. If it was a combat-type Xuan Gong, it was even more astonishing. At the same martial level, a martial artist who mastered Xuan Gong could fight three opponents at once.

"No wonder Xiao Yanglong’s so pissed at me!" Qin Yun said with a smile.

"I still don’t know what specific Xuan Gong it is; I’ll have to go to the Blue Spirit Star Palace to claim it," Lan Fengjin said, "Actually, setting up the Heavenly Prodigy Academy and the Genius Academy, the one that suffered the most was the Blue Spirit Star Palace. They thought they’d be the ultimate winners."

Xue Ziye said, "Let’s go back; it seems like this place is going to collapse. It’s been shaking for a while, and the entire arena has already loosened a lot."

Murong Daren said with a laugh, "Brother Yun, you’re amazing! You turned this thousand-year-old arena into this. The old-timers running this place must be furious with you."

"Hmph, Sister Lan gave them five billion crystal coins, and they still locked me up for ten months. They got what they deserved," Qin Yun said with dissatisfaction, then took out his Xuan point crystal card to claim five billion Xuan points and the Earth-rank light skill, "Xuan Star Step," before leaving the arena with Huo Zhong and the others.

In the small building of the Heavenly Prodigy Academy, Qin Yun rested in his room. Exhausting all his inner energy left him drained, and as soon as he returned, he collapsed into bed.
