Volume 1 Chapter 161: Arena Match, Xu Yang Returns

  "Ma Ji Cheng?!" Some people were astonished, "Is there such a city? I've never heard of it."

  Many teachers at the Sea Cloud Academy looked at He Fei with sympathetic eyes. Moji City was a small city located in the southernmost part of Donglai Country, extremely remote. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, where ferocious beasts roamed, and to the south, it bordered the sea, which was infested with sea monsters, known as the "Tianhan Ocean"! It could be called a desperate place, a harsh land, and He Fei had really fallen into bad luck this time.

  "Hmph, you should be so lucky! How dare you lead the Donglai tribes and question the Institute Master's decision?"

  "This time He Fei has been sent away, and we probably won't see him again," said Le Tingyun.

  He Fei's face turned ashen, he retreated in a daze, deeply aware of Wei Yuan's temperament. He didn't dare say a word to defend himself or beg for mercy, fearing it would bring even more severe punishment.

  Wei Yuan's eyes swept around the room, until the silence was oppressive, before he slowly spoke up: "The Sea Cloud Three Selections are not just about combat strength; innate talent, comprehension, and bravery are all important criteria! Yu Xuan has the Four Extreme Mystical Veins, an extraordinary innate gift! She broke through in battle, transforming into a Thunder Dragon, her comprehension is outstanding! Daring to be the first under heaven, her bravery surpasses others! I have specially selected her for the top ten, do you still have any objections?"

  Apart from Donglai City's Xuangui having some reservations, no one else dared to speak out in objection.

  "Next contender, who's willing to come on stage?" Under the hint of Wei Yuanzhong, Haiyue stepped out to host the meeting and said loudly.

  Three or four young men jumped up one after another and cried out: "I'll go!"

  Hai Yue slightly furrowed his brow and said: "The first one to go on stage stays behind and becomes the host. The other three, challenge in the order they went on stage!"

  The selection in the Sea Clouds is proceeding in an orderly manner, but surprisingly, except for Yu Xuan Yu being specially selected as one of the top ten, none of the other champions have been able to win three consecutive games.

  Winning three games in a row is even more difficult than people imagine. At this stage of the selection, all that's left are rare prodigies, and who can say who is slightly inferior to whom? To defeat an opponent, one must play their trump card, which consumes a great deal of mysterious energy. However, doing so will also reveal the method of cracking the code to those who come later, putting oneself at a disadvantage, making it difficult to maintain a winning streak.

  A young man in brocade attire stepped slowly onto the stage and said, "I'm here."

  "Donglai City's Su Family Young Master, Su Rui!" someone exclaimed, "The popular candidate has finally taken the stage!"

  The master of the arena was Li Wang, who had already won two rounds. Seeing Su Xiao Houye ascend to the stage, a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his face, and he could only rally his spirits to exchange blows with Su Xun.

  But Li Wang's strength was originally inferior to Su Yun's, and now after a long and bitter battle, his spiritual power had been depleted by more than half, making him even less of a match for Su Yun.

  Li Wang once followed Li Zhongxuan for a period of time, making great progress. He persisted hard, seeking opportunities, and consumed much of Su Cui's spiritual power.

  Su Rui had been fighting for a long time without falling, and he was furious. He summoned his life's spiritual energy, the Silver-backed Wolf King, which was three zhang tall, let out a loud howl, appeared on the scene, and pounced on Li Wang, knocking him off the stage.

  "Su Rui wants to be proud, I'll fight you!" A young man in a green robe stood up, with a loud whooshing sound, like a young giant eagle, landing in the arena.

  "Mu Jia Xiao Hou Ye, Mu Feng Chun!" A Xuan Zong sighed, "These two people are simply lifelong rivals."

  "Su Rui, you just defeated someone, I'll give you a moment to recover your energy!" Mu Fengchun coldly shouted, "I want to have a fair fight with you and knock you down!"

  Su Rui sneered, "No need!" He swallowed a Reverted Mysterious Pill and immediately transformed into the Silver-backed Wolf King, leading the charge to attack Mu Tongchun.

  Mu Gang Chun shouted loudly: "You are seeking your own downfall, don't blame me!" Xuan Li transformed into a giant tree that pierced the sky, with vines tangled together, to battle Su Rui.

  The two had clashed more than once and knew each other inside out. In this epic battle, the fierce wolves howled, giant trees pierced the sky, and the scattered dark energy dissipated across the heavens.

  "Good fellow, they've been at it for half an hour already! These two are indeed evenly matched," someone said. "In a stalemate like this, it's all about comparing the depth of their magical powers! Su Juei was the first to attack, and he can't help but be at a disadvantage."

  Another person said, "Don't you know that Su Xiao bought a bottle of top-grade Rejuvenation Pill at a high price? Its purity is extremely high and can be taken continuously for more than ten pills! How could his spiritual power be depleted?"

  Two youths on the stage, fighting with all their might. When they were exhausted, they immediately took the "Rejuvenation Pill" to recover their spiritual energy! Su Xuan had already fought one battle and his spiritual energy was depleted, he had swallowed three Rejuvenation Pills. Mu Fengchun also swallowed the first pill.

  After another brief battle, Su Rui swallowed several more Spirit Pellets, having consumed a total of seven Reverting Mystical Pellets! Mu Fengchun had also eaten four, and both of their faces showed signs of fatigue. However, when they saw their opponent, neither was willing to back down, and they continued to rally their spirits and charge forward.

  There was Donglai City's Xuán Zōng worried, sighed: "These two young princes, no matter who wins, it will be difficult to meet the challenge of the next strong enemy."

  After a long battle, both of them were exhausted and unable to maintain their Benming Xuanling, so they withdrew it one after another. Instead, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat, eager to determine the winner.

  The onlookers shook their heads, thinking that such a bitter struggle was not worth it. After all, no matter who won, it would be difficult for either of them to enter the top ten, so what's the point of this intense battle?

  Su Rui's fist burst out with a loud thunderous sound, and Mu Fengchun raised both arms to hold it up.

  Su Rui's face flashed a triumphant smile, and Feng Ji Xuanyuan suddenly burst out, blasting Mu Fangchun off the stage.

  "Su Xiao Hou Ye has the help of the extremely precious Reverted Profound Dan, and indeed still retains a thread of profound energy, deciding victory or defeat!" someone said.

  Su Rui stood on the stage with a crooked smile, weakly saying: "Mu... Mu Fengchun, I... in the end, still won over you by one move..."

  The wooden puppet on the stage almost didn't have the strength to stand up, stiffening its neck and shouting: "I don't accept it, I refuse to accept it!"

  Su Rui knew he was powerless to fight again and walked down from the stage. The stage no longer had a master, and for a while, it was somewhat deserted.

  Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, and a green phoenix with wings spread over ten feet flew from afar to the stage. On the back of the green phoenix stood a middle-aged man with an imposing presence and a blue-shirted youth, standing shoulder to shoulder.

  "Who has such great audacity, daring to trespass on Mount Haiyun?" Someone whispered to Xuanzong, not recognizing Xu Yang.

  "It's Xiao Shaoyang, the Little Killer! He finally made it to the Sea Cloud Pavilion selection! He must have been rescued by that mysterious man who rode the Qingluan bird and escaped from being surrounded!" An Eastern Lei Xian clenched his teeth in hatred, "Who is that Qingluan man? If I get the chance, I'll definitely kill him!"

  "Xu Yang, you've arrived just in time!" Hai Yue burst out laughing and hurried forward, first greeting Li Zhongxuan with a word of safety before carefully explaining the rules to Xu Yang.

  Many young geniuses under the stage shouted: "Haiyue Zongshi, such a latecomer should be disqualified! Why waste time explaining the rules to him!"

  Xu Yang listened to a few sentences and smiled, "I understand, as long as I win three rounds, I can advance to the top ten." He paused for a moment, looked at the noisy genius youngsters in the contestant area, and the high-seated Donglai City Xuanzong around him, and said, "However, before that, I still have a question to ask."
