Chapter 0410: Ultimate Dragon Palm

Qin Yun looked from afar and could only see that the woman had a very charming face, dressed in a luxurious golden robe, making her look quite extravagant.

He also thought this woman paled in comparison to Feng Honglan in terms of temperament.

"Her name is Xu Yuke, a disciple of the Tyrant King Sect, at the third level of the martial realm, twenty-seven years old, with the Nine Sun Spiritual Vein. Her martial soul and totem are kept secret!" Xiao Yuemei whispered.

Many prodigies keep their martial souls and totems hidden to avoid being targeted in combat.

Xiao Yuemei then proceeded to inform Qin Yun in detail about the disciples with totemic heritage, allowing him to prepare accordingly.

"All warriors participating, come forward!" The voice sounded familiar to Qin Yun.

He quickly looked towards the front of a martial stage and saw a chubby middle-aged man.

It was Grand Master Mu Fengxiao!

"I’m relieved he’s overseeing this competition!" Xiao Yuemei giggled: "This guy definitely won’t be bribed!"

Mu Fengxiao’s presence here was no accident—he had a role to play.

Qin Yun secretly speculated that Mu Fengxiao had informed the leadership of the Totem Pavilion about him being a Runes Master, so the Totem Pavilion would ensure no interference during the competition.

Qin Yun walked up and lined up with the other warriors.

Only those under forty could participate, and age checks were done beforehand.

This competition would also determine the rankings of the North State’s young martial practitioners.

There weren’t many participants, only a few dozen, all of whom were the strongest young martial realm practitioners at the third level in the North State.

Hong Mengshu stood beside Qin Yun, and she was also under considerable pressure. Martial King Hong Ying had told her that totemic warriors were formidable, some even capable of facing fifth-level martial realm practitioners with their third-level cultivation!

"You’ll be split into eight groups, with the top of each group advancing to the semi-finals and finals!" Mu Fengxiao announced once everyone had gathered: "Present your Jade Tokens for identity verification!"

The warriors on the stage all displayed their Jade Tokens.

At this moment, Qin Yun’s gaze fell on a black-clad man adorned with intricate patterns, a clear sign he hailed from the Totem Pavilion.

Though he was unknown, everyone pegged him as the likely champion.

The Totem Pavilion was much stronger than several imperial sects and controlled the secret techniques of totemic inheritance. Some of its disciples possessed totems and could skillfully utilize their power.

Once Mu Fengxiao verified the Jade Tokens, he laid out the rules.

No weapons or armor were permitted during the matches.

Victory was decided by forcing surrender, and fatalities were allowed!

Upon hearing that fatalities were allowed, the eyes of the Totemic Disciples revealed a sinister gleam! They could fight without holding back.

The crowd gasped in shock.

With fatalities allowed, it was likely that prodigies would perish in this competition!

All participants were young and talented, and any fatalities would be deeply regrettable.

"Mengshu, stay alert!" Qin Yun whispered urgently.

"I’m not too bothered, I’m just here to get some experience and see how strong those guys are!" Hong Mengshu knew she wasn’t the combat type, and without a totem, she was far from being a match for totem warriors.

She also warned Qin Yun, "You, though, don’t overdo it! Those totem warriors are monsters who can take on fourth-level martial realm warriors single-handedly!"

"I’ll play it smart." Qin Yun nodded, secretly looking forward to seeing how the totem warriors here utilized their totem powers.

Qin Yun was assigned to the fifth group, and in his group was a totem warrior from the Qingtian King Sect.

The grouping was decided by drawing lots, so no cheating was possible.

After seeing the groupings, everyone felt that Qin Yun was pretty unlucky to encounter a powerful totem warrior in the group stage.

Hong Mengshu’s second group also had a totem warrior, the black-clad man from the Totem Pavilion!

Excluding Qin Yun, there were a total of six totem warriors, coincidentally placed in groups one to six.

The warriors assigned to groups seven and eight were the luckiest, quietly relieved because they had a better chance of making it to the top eight.

When the rankings came out, they could be among the top eight in the third-level martial realm, locking in a good spot!

Only by winning two consecutive matches could one become the group winner.

Qin Yun’s first opponent wasn’t a totem warrior but a disciple from the Fire King Sect named Sun Yingchen.

Sun Yingchen walked onto the stage wearing the Fire King Sect’s distinctive flame robe, but he’d have to take it off since it was considered spirit-level armor.

Sun Yingchen was tall and burly, with a round face full of ferocity, his eyes burning with fury, filled with killing intent.

The Fire King Sect’s leader was killed by Wei Zhongzheng, so the sect’s disciples harbored deep hatred for the Nine Profound Gates.

Now that Sun Yingchen had the chance to face Qin Yun, his murderous intent was clear.

"Sun Yingchen was born into the Fire King Sect, with the Six Yang Spirit Veins and the Platinum Fire Thorn Martial Soul, hitting the third-level martial realm by twenty-six!"

"Qin Yun is also a fire expert, just as skilled! He once injured Chu Longjie, a fourth-level martial realm warrior, with a single punch, showing his strength!"

"Not so sure about that, Chu Longjie was careless, and he specializes in the Way of Odd Patterns, not combat! Sun Yingchen is very skilled in battle!"

"Sun Yingchen has also mastered advanced earth-level martial techniques!"

"Qin Yun’s martial techniques are probably average; everyone knows the Nine Profound Gates lost many of their best martial arts, and he just joined the sect not long ago!"

When Qin Yun and Sun Yingchen hit the stage, everyone began discussing.

The fighters on all eight stages were set, the formation was activated, and Mu Fengxiao struck a large bell!

As the bell rang, the warriors on the eight stages jumped right into the fray!

"Qin Yun, I’ll send you to heaven, hahaha..." Sun Yingchen, maybe on some stimulant, became extremely excited from the start, his face twisted in rage.

Sun Yingchen charged forward like a wild beast, closing the distance to Qin Yun in an instant, throwing a punch from ten meters away.

Platinum flames condensed into sharp spikes, rushing forward like a gust of wind!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The spikes were incredibly sharp, like a barrage of arrows aimed at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun remained calm and steady, striking out with two palms that produced deafening booms.

Invisible force waves accompanied by purple lightning flames surged forth, creating nine waves of seismic force that shattered all the blazing spikes.

Seeing this, Sun Yingchen roared in fury, his body rushing toward Qin Yun like a blaze of fire. With his palms pressed together, he pointed them at Qin Yun's body, sending out blazing spikes that shot forward like projectiles!

"A top-tier Earth Grade martial skill, the Heaven-Piercing Palm!"

"Merging his palms, he focuses his strongest energy, striking forward with the power to pierce and tear through a person's body!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment.

Seeing Sun Yingchen's ferocious assault, Qin Yun used the Fire Cloud Steps' instant movement, nimbly dodging the assault.

Sun Yingchen lunged forward but missed his target!

However, his charge didn't falter as he continued to pursue Qin Yun.

Qin Yun, seeing this, stopped evading and quickly summoned his Nine Extremes Inner Energy, merging it with his Dao energy, and struck out with a palm!

As his palm rose, a golden aura enveloped him, and his palm surged forward like a tidal wave, accompanied by flashes of thunder, its force as mighty as a dragon's, striking toward the oncoming Sun Yingchen!

With a roar, the palm's wind howled like a dragon, its power overwhelming, shaking the very foundations of heaven and earth!

Sun Yingchen was sent flying by the palm strike, blood spurting from his mouth, his face filled with shock and terror!

While he was still reeling, Qin Yun stepped forward and struck again, like a furious dragon bursting from the ocean, releasing towering bolts of thunder. His palm gathered energy like a storm of lightning.

As Qin Yun's palm descended, it appeared to harness the power of countless lightning strikes to strike the enraged dragon!

Boom!

The thunderous palm landed on Sun Yingchen's body, and multiple lightning bolts exploded from within him!

In the instant the countless thunderous lights flashed, Sun Yingchen's body was completely obliterated!

These two swift palms ended Sun Yingchen's life, igniting the Martial Arts Field with thunderous applause.

"Nine Extremes Inner Energy! Qin Yun has only recently joined the Nine Extremes Profound Sect, yet he's already mastered the Nine Extremes Inner Energy to this extent!"

"That was the Ultimate Dragon Palm! It's said that mastering all thirty-six palms allows one to slay a dragon!"

"Qin Yun just used two palms, flawlessly performed, and with those two strikes, he defeated Sun Yingchen!"

"This duel concluded far too swiftly!"

Below the arena, many elders quickly recognized Qin Yun's martial arts style.

Among the eight arenas, Qin Yun's match ended the fastest!

This was Qin Yun's first time using the Ultimate Dragon Palm in combat, and he was profoundly awed by its power. He also felt a hint of fear, as once the Ultimate Dragon Palm was unleashed, the energy erupted uncontrollably.

Qin Yun stepped down from the arena, wiping the sweat from his brow.

Several elders from the Fire King Sect were filled with grief and rage, glaring at Qin Yun, but there was nothing they could do.

"The people of the Fire King Sect should thank Qin Yun, as they won't need to collect a corpse!"

"Haha..."

The one speaking was Murong Daren, who, along with Hong Yan, was watching from a distance, both wearing masks.

Qin Yun observed Hong Mengshu's match, where her opponent was a prince from Yuewu Country, who was also quite skilled and fought steadily.

Although Hong Mengshu's totemic spirit wasn't of the offensive type, it granted her strong inner energy and spiritual energy. She relentlessly pressed her rapid attacks using the Earth-Level Martial Art, Cloud Eagle Palm.

The palm shadows resembled the wings of giant eagles, striking the prince with powerful spiritual forces. Each strike produced deafening "bang bang bang" echoes, unleashing tremendous force that pushed the prince back repeatedly.

Under Hong Mengshu's relentless assault, the prince was badly bruised and had to concede defeat, or else he would have been severely injured or killed.

The first matches on the other platforms had also ended.

The totemic warriors were all very strong, overwhelmingly defeating their opponents!

Both Qin Yun and Hong Mengshu had finished their first matches and were now keenly observing the second matches, as the winners would be their next opponents.

Their opponents were undoubtedly totemic warriors, and they were now observing the fighting styles of those two totemic warriors.
