Whether it was Li Yuanba sweeping through Yi Buzui earlier, or Qin Yichen now standing on the duelling platform facing Yi Buyan, ranked within the Outer Sect’s top thirty, both proved that new Disciples also commanded respect!
“Brat, you truly are exceptional!” Though somewhat incredulous inwardly, even Yi Buyan acknowledged this with a darkened expression.
When his gaze swept across the Battle Hall, spotting Dong Yu, the Southern Brilliant Hall Manager, in one location, his heart trembled. Only then did he suppress his inner fury, speaking heavily. “Concede defeat. Today, I can spare your life!”
Though these words sounded unpleasant, those new Disciples felt involuntary relief hearing them.
Now Qin Yichen had proven their dignity as a new Disciple. Clearly he was at his limit. Descending the steps Yi Buyan was offering to him now, no one would dare mock him.
The numerous Outer Disciples nodded as well, no longer speaking mockery. For a new Disciple to achieve this far exceeded their expectations!
“Concede? Are you joking?” Just as everyone felt admiration and relief, a defiant voice suddenly resonated throughout the duelling platform.
As that voice fell, that figure who had earned countless people’s recognition actually swayed twice. Finally, with firm steps, he slowly emerged from the crater.
By now, his upper garments had completely shredded, becoming strips of cloth hanging from his body. The exposed skin displayed scorched black colouring.
Qin Yichen casually tore away those cloth strips, exposing his upper body’s musculature. That explosive power contained within his muscle definition made quite a few pupils contract.
When clothed, he appeared lean. However unclothed, he was too muscular!
They slightly trembling, nearly perfect muscle contours seemed to warn the world that the moment he moved, thunder-like attacks would follow!
Even with scorched black flaws present, no one doubted he still possessed the capability for combat!
After swallowing two Pills, Qin Yichen’s injuries healed at visible speed. Fortunately, with his Supreme Tyrant Body and Divine Indestructible Soul Art, he had survived that previous blow.
Otherwise, by blocking the Meteoric Heaven Splitting Palm, even he would inevitably have been torn to shreds by that terrible storm’s aftermath!
“Those who harm my ‘Brothers’ will have no rest until death!” Under countless admiring gazes, Qin Yichen pointed his arm towards Yi Buyan. His ice-cold voice, filled with killing intent, resonated throughout this space!
Hearing that voice, countless people’s bodies trembled.
This new Disciple truly came to avenge that previous burly fellow!
Such profound loyalty and righteousness earned countless people’s admiration. Several female Disciples’ beautiful eyes rippled with peculiar expressions.
Watching that slender figure slowly approaching Yi Buyan, everyone sensed an emotion of tragic defiance.
Even knowing himself outmatched, he was advancing fearlessly regardless!
Even facing utter destruction, he was still protecting his Brother!
Watching everyone’s expressions transform, Yi Buyan and his associates’ faces grew unsightly. This matter had clearly escalated too much. Though the Sacred Land would not interfere in Disciples’ affairs, bullying of new Disciples would definitely provoke numerous Senior Disciples’ resentment in the future because of this youth, Qin Yichen!
In this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, bullying new Disciples within the Sacred Land would likely cease!
On the duelling platform, once Yi Buyan, who had already relaxed his attitude, heard Qin Yichen’s ice-cold words, his expression thoroughly darkened.
He could sense that cold indifference in the latter’s eyes. Given the opportunity, the latter would absolutely kill him without hesitation!
[He absolutely cannot be allowed to survive!] Yi Buyan was no inexperienced child. He understood that allowing Qin Yichen to continue growing would mean someday dying at his hands!
*Screech!* Following a sharp cry, a crimson giant eagle suddenly materialised behind Yi Buyan. It resembled a crimson Sun, painfully dazzling to behold.
This crimson giant eagle’s feathers appeared like burning flame fragments. Terrifying scorching energy emanated outward as if igniting the very air. Simultaneously, formidable Yuan Energy undulations swept outward with each slight wing movement.
Watching the crimson giant eagle appearing behind Yi Buyan, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly, his footsteps halting.
This giant eagle seemed somehow different from Yi Buzui’s Blazing Eagle. Between that crimson flame, golden fire threads appeared to flow.
“Golden Firestorm Eagle!”
With this Martial Soul’s appearance, exclamations resonated throughout the hall.
The Golden Firestorm Eagle was a Mutated Martial Soul of the Blazing Eagle!
It possessed not only lightning-swift speed but terrifying capability to melt metal and stone. Its ultimate combination of attack and speed allowed the Golden Firestorm Eagle to rank within the Martial Soul Rankings’ top fifty!
Among tens of thousands of Martial Soul, those ranking within the top fifty possessed potential describable only as terrifying!
“Yi Buyan’s utterly shameless! Using the Golden Firestorm Eagle Martial Soul against a new Disciple!”
“Summoning the Golden Firestorm Eagle is something he would use only against Half-Step Martial Ancestors. Using it against an Early Stage Martial Emperor, isn’t this obviously bullying!?”
Witnessing this scene, amidst shock, continuous dissatisfied shouts resonated.
However, within these protests, some disagreed.
“That proves Senior Brother Yi recognises him as an opponent! When has any new Disciple received such an honour!?”
“Exactly! Do you people still consider that youth merely an ordinary Early Stage Martial Emperor!?”
Several sparse supporting voices scattered forth, then were overwhelmed by dissatisfied shouts.
Nevertheless, this could not alter the atmosphere on the duelling platform, stretched taut to its absolute limit between the two!
“Forcing me to use my Martial Soul. Brat, even in death, you can take pride in it!”
After summoning his Martial Soul, Yi Buyan’s body slowly levitated, stopping atop the Golden Firestorm Eagle’s head. Riding the giant eagle radiating crimson and gold, flames rising as the air distorted slightly, he resembled a descending deity, his bearing overwhelming!
[No wonder he’s caught the attention of that man within the Inner Sect. The Golden Firestorm Eagle Martial Soul is truly extraordinary. Qin Yichen, just quickly concede!] At one location in the Battle Hall, Dong Yu could not help clenching his fists. He wanted to intervene, but given the current situation, he simply could not.
In his view, Qin Yichen was clearly blinded by rage. As for Yi Buyan, though merely an Outer Disciple, he had been acknowledged by an important person within the Inner Sect. Upon breakthrough, he would become that person’s Personal Disciple. So, when dealing with Yi Buyan, even an Outer Sect Manager needed to show some respect!
