Chapter Eighty-Three: Ceasefire and Secret Meeting at Sea Cloud

  "What?" Yun Yang pretended he hadn't heard clearly, but a thread of panic flashed through his eyes.

  "I'm saying, you're afraid of me," Xǔ Yáng said slowly and coldly. "You're a thoroughgoing petty person, using cunning to surpass Xǔ Zhèng Xìn, and taking advantage of this matter to provoke me. You want me to lose my composure when fighting with you, making it easier for your 'Folded Light' mystic technique to take advantage."

  "What's 'refraction'? I didn't quite catch it." Yun Yang said with a forced tone.

  "Are you pretending to be stupid?" Xǔ Yáng smiled slightly, "The so-called 'body method of ghosts and demons', 'sword technique surpassing the extreme' are all fake. On the other hand, your Guangxuan power and exquisite 'Zheguang' mystic technique complement each other seamlessly... To put it bluntly, you're just a paper tiger. Once pierced through, you're not worth mentioning. Your strength is still inferior to that of Yuè Lián Héng who lost to me. If we meet again in the next round, I guarantee that with just one move, I'll make you lose."

  Yun Yang's face turned pale with a look of having seen a ghost, his usual calm and composed demeanor had long since disappeared.

  "I don't understand, what you're saying...," Yun Yang stuttered a bit as he said, "In the next round when I meet you, I'll defeat you just like I defeated Xu Zhengxin." After uttering this unimpressive threat, Yun Yang didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly retreated from Xu Yang's surroundings.

  "A clown jumping around, not worth a smile." Xǔ Yáng shook his head and continued watching the competition.

  Li Wong and Yu Xuan Yu did not collide in advance, the two missed each other's schedule, eliminated their opponents one after another, and won the victory.

  However, it can be seen that in this trial, they are no longer as relaxed as before. Li Wang had to use a land-level Xuan technique to defeat the enemy, and Yu Xuan had been fighting for a long time without falling, using the Broken Sky Overlord Halberd.

  "The fourth round is over......" After the last game was decided, Haiyue teacher came on stage again, smiling and saying, "Now there are still six young talents competing for the first treasure. Please come on stage and put the copper plate in your hand into the lottery box."

  Xiao Jun Hou Li Wang, Qing Long Tong Pai.

  Yu Xuan Yu, Xi Wang Tong Pai.

  Clouds rise, white tiger copper medal.

  Xu Yang, Cloud Horse Bronze Medal.

  The above four are the strongest among the audience, with Xiao Junhou Li Wang at the top of the list, followed by Yu Xuanyu and Yun Yang, both of whom have reached the late stage of Xuan Shi cultivation, not inferior to Li Wang.

  As for Xu Yang, this mysterious knight was the biggest dark horse among the young generation at the beginning. Looking at his record, he first defeated the Chu brothers, then defeated Yue Lian Heng, and each time he won easily. Although his realm is very low, no one underestimates his combat power.

  Behind them were Yu Xu Wu with a handheld Xuan Gui copper plate, and Ge family's eldest grandson, Ge Wei Long, holding a Xie Long copper plate.

  It turns out that Yu Xu Wu and Ge Wei Long, the two of them, all the way, didn't encounter any strong enemies, it can be said that they were smooth sailing. People like Ge Wei Feng, Yue Lian Heng, Chu Ming De, who were stronger than them, all ended up losing, from this we can see that luck is very important.

  Winter days are short and nights are long, the sky has already darkened, and the night curtain is falling.

  "Today, the preliminary selection of Sea Cloud has been completed, with a total of four rounds and 91 young talents. In the end, only these six strong players are left," said Hai Yue with a slight smile. "It can be confirmed that the final competition will be even more exciting. In order to ensure fairness, the fifth round will be held tomorrow morning."

  The audience let out a collective sigh, and many of them clamored for more, wanting to continue watching.

  "Huh?" Hai Yue's eyes widened, and the endless mountain ranges behind him disappeared into the clouds, shrouded in a thick, heavy mist.

  The mighty Xuanzhe felt an endless oppressive force weighing on their hearts, and one by one, their Xuan powers faltered, their faces turning pale.

  "Xuanzong! This teacher is Xuanzong's master!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

  People stopped talking and instead sighed at the strength of Haiyun Temple, where even an ordinary teacher was as powerful as Emperor Xuanzong.

  The onlookers understood that although Hai Yue was always gentle and calm, if he were to lose his temper, no one present would be able to withstand it.

  Under the pressure of Haiyue's teacher, Haicloud temporarily suspended his pre-selection and continued on the second day.

  Xu Yang left the contestant area and walked straight towards the pillar where a green horse was tied.

  "Brother, you're so awesome!" Xǔ Yú's eyebrows danced with excitement as she jumped off the horse and circled around Xǔ Yáng, patting him left and right.

  "Stop messing around, let's head back first." Xǔ Yáng rubbed Xǔ Yú's forehead and put her back on the horse.

  "No, I've been riding a horse all day and I'm exhausted. I don't want to ride a horse." Yu shook her little head.

  "What are you taking?" Xǔ Yáng asked with a smile.

  "I want my brother to carry me." Xǔ Yú smiled, like a cunning little fox.

  Xu Yang gently tossed Xu Yu up, using his mystical power to support her, and placed her on his own shoulders. Then he flipped over onto the horse.

  Xu Yu sat on Xu Yang's shoulders, her two small feet in little leather boots swaying back and forth, gently tapping against Xu Yang's chest. A happy laugh rang out: "Brother, brother, I'm so high up, it's so much fun!"

  Into the night.

  The branch of Haiyun Temple in Lin Yuan City has a tall and majestic gate, with an atmosphere that is no less than the city lord's mansion.

  In the inner hall, Haiyue teacher was beaming with joy, drinking wine around the stove with several subordinates from various departments.

  "I thought this small town by the river wouldn't have many outstanding young talents, but who would have thought that so many youthful geniuses would emerge! How delightful!" Teacher Haiyue raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

  "Haiyue special envoy, in the previous preliminary round, you were assigned to Juyuan City, which is a big city! Compared to this year's Linyuan City preliminary round, which one is better?" Letingyun changed into a fiery red cheongsam with a very low neckline, her full and white peaks faintly visible.

  The eyes of the Haiyue special envoy swept across her chest, and he chuckled: "This session of Linwan City is indeed excellent, exceeding my expectations. However, compared to Juyuan City, it's still not comparable. Juyuan City is one of the top ten cities in Donglai Country, and every session produces a large number of outstanding talents. I remember last time, there were no less than ten young masters who reached the peak of Xuan Shi!"

  The people around him from various departments couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "Tomorrow is the fifth round, and there are still six talented individuals left. I wonder who will be eliminated next..." A subordinate took a sip of wine and said, "Speaking of Li Wang, Yu Xuan Yu, Xu Yang, and Yun Yang, all four of them are quite good. If possible, can't the Haiyue Special Envoy relax the quota a bit?"

  Letti Yun also gazed at Haiyue: "Indeed, these young men and women are all naturally gifted. In previous years, they would have already advanced."

  Hai Yue furrowed his brow and said, "Although I have the authority to expand the quota, what if Ming Ye's lottery draw results in Li Wang, Yu Xuan Yu, Xu Yang and others colliding strongly in the fifth round? Should we record the lucky ones like Yu Xuan Wu and Ge Wei Long?"

  "Haiyue's special envoy doesn't have to worry, I have a plan," Le Tingyun smiled slightly and took out a small square box from her storage ring. "This is just a lottery box, there's no mysterious stone inside. At that time, the envoy only needs to make a move with his hands, and naturally won't let Qiangqiang collide."

  Haiyue's eyebrows relaxed and spread out.

  "This time, the preliminary round will have a maximum of three places," Hai Yue said thoughtfully, "Xu Yang's boundary is slightly lower after all, and Yun Yang's strength isn't exceptionally outstanding either... let them two meet each other...... The winner will enter the final round with Yu Xuan Rain and Li Wang."
