Chapter 0241: Can't Bear It Anymore

Qin Yun let out a roar so loud it made everyone’s ears ring, and they stared in shock at the arena.

Lu Guang was sent flying and landed beside the dueling arena!

He slowly got up, unable to hear anything, his vision blurred, and his head dizzy.

Just as Lu Guang was filled with fear, he suddenly sensed a gust of wind approaching!

Qin Yun rushed over quickly and, with an open palm from a distance, released a gentle breeze that blew the unsteady Lu Guang right off the dueling arena.

"Lu Guang, defeated! Qin Yun wins!" the old referee bellowed, but Qin Yun's roar had been even more terrifying.

Lu Guang had only been stunned by the sudden sonic attack, and though his body had taken a strong impact, he was not seriously injured.

Thus, Qin Yun had not violated the rules and secured a victory in the match, earning a reward of a million Xuan points.

The entire arena immediately erupted in discussion, talking about Qin Yun's sound-based technique from earlier.

It was a martial art Qin Yun had been inspired by the Heavenly Lion Totem, called the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound. Without proper defenses, one would be caught off guard by this move.

Qin Yun had used this technique against others many times, and it had always been effective. After securing his victory, he rushed to the counter to find the elder.

Having defeated an Intermediate Duelist, he had now become an Intermediate Duelist himself. However, due to insufficient Xuan points, he couldn’t challenge an Advanced Duelist just yet.

Qin Yun gave the elder another hundred thousand crystal coins, urging him to arrange the next match quickly.

At this point, his goal in the arena was not only to defeat Zhou Zhonghui but also to earn Xuan points through these duels!

As it grew dark, Qin Yun had one more fight, the last one of the day. Originally, everyone was about to leave, but when they heard it was Qin Yun's match, they all stayed.

In the arena, tens of thousands of people were engaged in heated discussion.

Qin Yun’s matches always surprised them. With just a roar, he left his opponent dazed and claimed an easy victory!

When the crowd saw Qin Yun appear on the dueling arena again, they all perked up!

His opponent this time was another middle-aged man named Gao Hu, a burly giant with a full beard, from Ling Martial Academy.

"Gao Hu? Isn't he a young general from the Tianling Empire?"

"Yes, he's a student at Ling Martial Academy, but also a general of the Tianling Empire. His strength is unfathomable, and it's said he's about to reach the ninth level of the Martial Body stage."

"His Martial Soul is a Golden Battle Axe. In duels where weapons are restricted, those with weapon-type Martial Souls are the most fearsome, especially those with elemental attributes."

"Gao Hu has won nine straight matches as an Intermediate Duelist. If he beats Qin Yun, he’ll be promoted to Advanced Duelist!"

From the crowd’s chatter, Qin Yun got a sense of who he was up against.

A general from the Tianling Empire was his enemy, because the crown prince of the Tianling Empire had been killed by him.

If Gao Hu were to take Qin Yun down here, he’d be rewarded handsomely when he returned. So, he wouldn’t go easy on him.

"Qin Yun, others may fear you, but I do not!" Gao Hu sneered coldly. "You only have the strength to match a ninth-level Martial Body because of those Immobilization Runes and high-grade artifacts. Without them, you're nothing, and you're no match for me."

Qin Yun smiled slightly. "You're quite confident, just like your prince!"

"Qin Yun, don't get cocky! You beat our prince with outside help—that wasn’t your real strength!" Gao Hu laughed heartily. "I admit, you're a decent Runes Master. Otherwise, with your limited talent, Xiao Yuelan would never have noticed you! She’s only marrying you for the runes you have. She doesn’t really care about you."

"And you, fool, are gloating about it. You are just a puppet being used by that bitch Xiao Yuelan. I almost pity you!"

Qin Yun's face turned cold as he asked in a low voice, "Did you just insult Xiao Yuelan?"

Gao Hu laughed loudly, "Yes, I'm insulting Xiao Yuelan! She's a bitch, so what if I insult her? What’s it to you if I insult her? In this martial competition arena, you can't injure me, hahaha..."

Qin Yun clenched his fists, swallowed hard, and felt extremely frustrated at that moment because, in the arena, he indeed couldn't hurt Gao Hu.

Seeing Qin Yun's angry expression, Gao Hu became even happier and laughed maniacally, "Qin Yun, your wife Xiao Yuelan is a downright whore. Your mother was just a lowly country girl from the countryside. Just a village girl, and yet she became the queen of Tian Qin, but so what? She's still a lowly village girl who died early, and good riddance! The lowly blood flows in you too."

Gao Hu's insults caused the audience to erupt!

"Qin Yun, take him down! Take him down!"

"Qin Yun, forget the rules, finish him!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Kill him..."

Many felt that Gao Hu had gone too far and began to cheer for Qin Yun, urging him on.

What many overlooked was that if Qin Yun seriously injured or killed Gao Hu, he would face severe punishment...

"Hahaha... you don't dare, you coward!" Gao Hu laughed arrogantly.

Even the steady Qin Yun had veins bulging on his forehead from anger.

"The fight begins!" The elder shouted loudly, announcing the start.

As soon as the match began, Qin Yun roared and unleashed Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound. A terrifying gust of wind, accompanied by the roar of an angry lion, surged towards Gao Hu like waves.

Gao Hu was prepared and quite strong. He squatted in a horse-riding stance, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his body shielded by a layer of energy.

Qin Yun's sonic attack didn't affect Gao Hu much; it only pushed his bulky figure more than ten meters away.

"Damn it!" Qin Yun snorted, seemingly aware that Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound was ineffective against Gao Hu.

So, after his roar, Qin Yun stepped forward with the Fire Cloud Step, quickly closing the distance to Gao Hu, and then threw several punches. His punches carried the force of thunder, striking the air with a sharp whistling sound, quite frightening!

Gao Hu was internally shaken; Qin Yun's strength was far greater than he had expected. However, he wasn't worried because Qin Yun wouldn't dare to strike him too hard, but he could.

With a sly smile, Gao Hu continued to hurl insults at Qin Yun while using cheap shots to attack him, causing many to frown secretly.

"Qin Yun, kill him, kill him!"

"He's insulting your family like this, and you're just going to endure it? Stand up for yourself, don't be a wimp!"

"Qin Yun, coward! Coward!"

"Qin Yun, big coward, big coward!"

The onlookers, eager for more drama, shouted at the top of their lungs, trying to provoke Qin Yun. They wanted to see Qin Yun take down Gao Hu and then face the severe punishment from Star Profound Martial Academy.

Lan Fengjin frowned, feeling the frustration Qin Yun was enduring. She could tell better than anyone that Qin Yun wasn’t fighting at full strength.

While many criticized Qin Yun for being too cautious, they couldn't deny his remarkable composure. Initially very angry, he grew calmer as the fight progressed, effortlessly evading Gao Hu's massive arm, which swung down like a cleaver.

Gao Hu, on the other hand, kept ranting furiously at Qin Yun, growing increasingly annoyed. After so long, he still hadn't landed a hit on Qin Yun. Each time he attacked, he exerted all his strength and occasionally used Inner Energy, leading to tremendous energy expenditure.

If this continued, Gao Hu would be completely drained of his Inner Energy. Without enough strength to defend himself, he would be easily knocked off the arena by Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound.

"Qin Yun, take him down now! He insulted your beloved wife and your deceased mother. Can you still bear it? People live to fight for a breath of honor!"

"Exactly, finish him off. If you let him walk away unscathed, I’ve misjudged you! So what if the Star Profound Martial Academy punishes you? A few years in prison won’t change the fact that you’ll still be a hero when you return!"

"Qin Yun, the sands of the hourglass are running out. If you don't make your move, you'll lose your chance!"

The crowd, witnessing Qin Yun’s restraint, felt a growing sense of anticipation and frustration. They were eager to see Qin Yun put an end to Gao Hu’s antics.

"Qin Yun, tell Xiao Yuelan not to step into our Tianling Empire. Otherwise, we’ll capture her and then..."

Before Gao Hu could finish his sentence, Qin Yun roared, his arm emanating Purple Gold Flame. He swung it forcefully, creating a burst of Purple Gold Flame!

Qin Yun finally launched a fierce counterattack, causing the spectators in the dueling arena to erupt in cheers. This was the moment they had been waiting for!

Lan Fengjin clenched her fists tightly, knowing that Qin Yun’s target was Zhou Zhonghui. If Qin Yun finished off Gao Hu here, he would have almost no chance to face Zhou Zhonghui.

On the dueling arena, Gao Hu was suddenly engulfed in the Purple Gold Flame Qin Yun unleashed. The crowd couldn't see him and thought he was severely injured. At that moment, Qin Yun charged into the flame!

Swoosh!

The dueling arena burst with thunderous cheers because they knew Gao Hu was finished!

Qin Yun charged into the Purple Gold Flame and used Jushensha, viciously attacking Gao Hu's mind with mental energy, causing him to let out a blood-curdling scream.

Though the crowd couldn’t see what was happening inside the Purple Gold Flame, Gao Hu’s agonized screams only heightened their excitement.

After disorienting Gao Hu with Jushensha, Qin Yun swiftly retrieved an axe from his storage, placed it in Gao Hu’s hand, and used the Divine Control Technique to manipulate Gao Hu’s movements.

The Purple Gold Flame vanished in an instant, revealing Gao Hu raising a massive axe, ready to bring it down on Qin Yun!

Using a weapon in the duel was a clear violation of the rules!
