Smelling the aroma and looking at the dishes on the table, Jin Shouyun was taken aback.
He was a genius of the Outer Sect and a connoisseur. Seeing such exquisite dishes with perfect color, aroma, and taste, he knew well that they weren’t something affordable to ordinary people.
"What are you talking about!"
Li Yunjing looked displeased, glaring at Jin Shouyun. Seeing Jin Shouyun’s embarrassed smile, he let the kid off.
"I was injured, didn’t you come to see me?"
"Today it’s my brother’s turn to be injured, would I ignore it?"
"Do you see me as that kind of person?"
Li Yunjing’s three consecutive questions made Jin Shouyun blush and left him speechless.
In Jin Shouyun’s mind, Li Yunjing was a big figure who associated with high-level people. Since he himself was a small figure and not close to Li Yunjing, how could Li Yunjing care about him?
But reality proved Jin Shouyun wrong. His immediate superior really remembered him.
When he was injured and recovering at home, Li Yunjing personally brought gifts to visit him.
How could this not move Jin Shouyun?
"Don’t overthink! Rest well, recover, and then break through your cultivation to become an Inner Sect Disciple! I remember everything about you and will help you get a good position so you won’t have any worries..."
Li Yunjing rambled on, saying a lot before finally leaving under Jin Shouyun’s reluctant farewell.
Jin Shouyun was a genius. In this Outer Sect competition, he had managed to get into the top sixteen, proving his strength.
He was the most powerful among the people around Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing truly admired such talent from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps Jin Shouyun could become his right-hand man in the future.
After all, there would be a lot to deal with in the future. Li Yunjing couldn’t handle everything personally, so supporting a few powerful people became urgent.
The next day, the Martial Arts Arena was bustling with activity.
The stands, which could accommodate a hundred thousand people, were almost fully occupied.
By Li Yunjing’s side were no longer just Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi. Almost everyone he knew was there.
Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, Fu Chao, Yu Zongzhe—the five giants in front—followed by Leng Yuqian, Yang Wen Yue, Yang Wenzheng, and dozens of other talented Inner Sect Disciples.
Behind these people were many Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples from the "Scripture Pavilion," "Yaxiang Garden," "Qiongze Peak," "Guest Welcoming Peak," and "Brocade Peak."
There were a staggering one hundred and fifty people in all!
Of course, not all of them were Li Yunjing’s acquaintances. There were also friends’ friends who came along, wanting to get close to Li Yunjing, show their faces in front of this prodigy, and leave a deeper impression for future benefits.
The dense crowd surrounded Li Yunjing, making many Inner Sect and Outer Sect Disciples look serious, realizing that Li Yunjing was not just a dark horse!
But a truly powerful figure!
On the podium, nine Elders watched such a group enter spectacularly, revealing amused expressions.
"This young fellow seems to flourish even without our guidance!"
Old Liu stroked his beard and chuckled lightly, looking at Li Yunjing with great admiration.
"Indeed! A young prodigy should have the demeanor of a prodigy!"
The woman in red slightly nodded, her eyes full of approval.
"Haha! When we were in our prime, weren’t we all equally imposing, accompanied by large entourages?"
Elder Han of the "Foreign Affairs Hall" laughed heartily.
It seemed that the person he valued indeed showed remarkable performance, and the "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" hadn’t gone to waste.
The final day’s competition began quickly.
Li Yunjing was fortunate to draw Liu Minghua from the "Divine Weapon Hall," who was seriously injured and naturally unable to compete, allowing Li Yunjing to advance to the finals without a fight.
However, the match between Ying Qianqian of the "Yangxin Pavilion" and Jin Wuhen of the "Law Enforcement Hall" was highly unexpected. Jin Wuhen actually lost to Ying Qianqian.
A disciple of the "Law Enforcement Hall," who had experienced numerous battles, lost to a mysterious female disciple of the "Yangxin Pavilion," causing an uproar in the arena.
Countless people were filled with despair!
After all, many had placed their bets on Jin Wuhen!
Nobody could have anticipated that the unknown Ying Qianqian would turn out to be the victor.
An hour later, the finals began!
Li Yunjing stood on the stage, looking at the girl opposite. She had long loose hair, a delicate face with phoenix eyes, a small cherry mouth, and an extraordinary aura.
"Greetings, Brother Li!"
Ying Qianqian spoke softly, her demeanor calm, seemingly unshaken by Li Yunjing’s fame and strength.
"Sister Ying, I am determined to win this final. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
Li Yunjing nodded in return, responding indifferently.
He was determined to win the first place in the finals. Not to mention Ying Qianqian, even if Lv Ruoxi were here, he wouldn’t hold back.
Of course, if it were Yu Yunyi...
"Brother Li, no need to hold back! For the finals, I intend to do the same. A fair fight between us, giving it our all!"
Ying Qianqian remained unshaken, her cold voice echoing throughout the vast Martial Arts Arena.
As the final battle approached, the arena, filled with a hundred thousand people, fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for this great battle.
"Then I shall not hold back!"
Seeing that Ying Qianqian seemed to have no intention of making the first move, Li Yunjing’s aura suddenly intensified. In an instant, he turned into multiple afterimages, darting towards Ying Qianqian like lightning!
His hand formed into an eagle claw and reached towards Ying Qianqian’s face!
Li Yunjing’s rapid move even stirred the air, creating a sonic boom!
If this attack landed, Ying Qianqian’s beautiful face would be ruined!
At this moment, Li Yunjing showed no mercy!
