Wang Yan's numb eyes finally changed, and his voice contained shock and a hint of uncertainty.
Wow!
Seeing Wang Yan being repelled by Lin Yi's aura, the Dao Sect disciples on the platform were already somewhat shaken. Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, they couldn't help but erupt in an uproar!
"Did you all hear what Senior Brother Wang Yan just said?" Some people were incredulous, wondering if they had misheard.
"Senior Brother Wang Yan mentioned the Life Profound Realm. Could it be that Lin Yi has already entered the Life Profound Realm?!"
"Lin Yi's cultivation speed is too exaggerated! It's said that he only broke through to the Eighth Yuan Nirvana Realm a little over two months ago!"
"In just two months, he went from the Eighth Nirvana Realm to the Life Profound Realm. It's unbelievable. Could Senior Brother Wang Yan have sensed something wrong?"
"..."
Ying Huanhuan's beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Yi's tall and straight back, filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.
She hadn't expected Lin Yi's growth rate to be so astonishing!
When Lin Yi first joined the Dao Sect, he was only at the Fifth Yuan Nirvana Realm!
In just one year, he has made consecutive breakthroughs and reached the current Life Profound Realm. Even the senior Zhou Tong back then would find it hard to compare with this speed.
Furthermore, Lin Yi killed Yao Ling, who was at the Ninth Nirvana Realm, when he was at the Seventh Nirvana Realm.
Now that Lin Yi has reached the Life Profound Realm, defeating Senior Brother Wang Yan will definitely not be a problem for him, and she doesn't need to worry about Senior Brother Wang Yan causing trouble.
Lin Yi looked at Wang Yan, who was staring at him with surprise, smiled slightly, and said, "I just broke through by sheer luck."
Wang Yan stared at Lin Yi with dark eyes for a moment before saying indifferently, "Even if you are at the Life Profound Realm, I will not give up easily. I will fight you in the Palace Examination! If you want to stop me, then defeat me!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly and, under the watchful eyes of many, slowly said, "In that case, Senior Brother Wang Yan, let's meet at the Palace Examination."
Wang Yan's face twitched slightly. He gave Lin Yi a deep look, but ultimately said nothing, nodded indifferently, and then walked away, bypassing Lin Yi and the other person.
Lin Yi turned around, looked at Ying Huanhuan whose cheeks were pale, and smiled, "Now you can rest assured, right? In the palace examination, I will defeat Wang Yan and win first place!"
"Thank you," Ying Huanhuan said to Lin Yi, then exclaimed in surprise, "I really don't know how you cultivate, your cultivation speed is too fast..."
At this moment, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but feel a surge of competitive spirit.
When Lin Yi first joined the Dao Sect, she was stronger than him, but now she has fallen far behind.
"Just lucky, some good fortune," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"I'm leaving now. I need to tell my sister that Senior Brother Wang Yan is back," Ying Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, then changed the subject.
"Hmm," Lin Yi nodded slightly, watching Ying Huanhuan's departing figure, then turned and headed back towards his residence in the desolate palace...
Chapter 241 The Palace Examination Begins, My First Opponent! [Please Read On]
In the central region of the Dao Sect, there is a continuous mountain range. Within the range, towering peaks pierce the clouds, and amidst the swirling mists, it resembles a fairyland.
At this moment, an astonishing clamor arose atop these normally tranquil giant peaks. These sounds converged and spread far and wide, clearly audible even a hundred miles away.
The reason for this is that the day of the palace examination has officially arrived, and this area is the place where the palace examination will be held.
The Palace Examination is the grandest annual competition held by the Dao Sect, and the entire sect, from its leaders to its disciples, attaches great importance to it.
Lin Yi also came from the desolate palace to this noisy area, and then landed directly on the giant peak in the very center.
Because the number of disciples taking the palace examination was so large, the nearby towering peaks provided numerous testing grounds.
However, what truly attracted attention was the mountain peak that Lin Yi landed on, because the competition among the outstanding disciples of the four halls would be held here, making it far more popular than the other giant peaks.
"Senior Brother Lin Yi is here!"
As soon as Lin Yi landed on the giant peak, the Dao Sect disciples on the peak burst into cheers, and all their fiery gazes were fixed on Lin Yi.
In the current desolate hall, Lin Yi's reputation has surpassed that of senior disciples like Pang Tong and Jiang Hao. However, Pang Tong and the other three remained calm about this, as they were also deeply impressed by Lin Yi.
"Haha, Junior Brother Lin Yi, whether our Desolate Hall can rise in the rankings in this Palace Examination depends on you," Jiang Hao said with a deep laugh.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I will definitely not disappoint Senior Brother Jiang Hao."
Pang Tong hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother Lin Yi, have you really advanced to the Life Profound Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao, Song Zhou, and Fang Yun all stared intently at Lin Yi, waiting for his response.
"Yes, I broke through not long ago," Lin Yi nodded slightly, not hiding anything.
Upon hearing this, Pang Tong and the other three were deeply shaken, and their gazes toward Lin Yi held even greater respect.
Lin Yi slightly raised his eyes and looked in other directions. Not far from their desolate hall was the area where the disciples of the other three halls were located.
At the Heavenly Palace, Lin Yi also saw the two beautiful figures standing at the very front, who were also the most eye-catching in this area: Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan.
These two sisters are the most conspicuous people in the Dao Sect, no matter where they go.
Ying Xiaoxiao remained as composed as ever, while Ying Huanhuan beside her had regained her usual charming demeanor, with a familiar, innocent smile on her face. She was currently talking to Qingye from the Earth Palace.
When Lin Yi looked over, Ying Huanhuan obviously noticed it as well. Then the girl tilted her head slightly, glanced at Lin Yi from afar, and then casually looked away.
However, when she looked away, Lin Yi clearly saw a hint of playfulness flash across the girl's big eyes.
“Junior Brother Lin Yi, Junior Sister Huanhuan is being watched by countless eyes in our Dao Sect. If you want to make a move, you'd better do it sooner rather than later, lest Qingye and his ilk take advantage of the situation.”
Pang Tong and the others, who were standing nearby, also witnessed Ying Huanhuan's interaction with Lin Yi. Then, the former came over and chuckled.
The other disciples of the Desolate Hall also whispered and jeering from the sidelines.
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more about the topic.
As everyone was chatting and laughing, Lin Yi's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze turned to the sky above the mountain peak.
There, a gray shadow broke through the air and descended from the sky with a somewhat cold and bloody aura, landing in the area where the Heavenly Palace disciples were located. It was none other than King Yan of the Heavenly Palace.
With Wang Yan's appearance, the noise of the entire mountain peak subsided somewhat. He ignored the many complicated gazes, simply looked deeply at Lin Yi, and then sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes.
Ying Xiaoxiao gazed at the gray-robed figure, bit her lip lightly, then slowly clenched her jade-like hand, and a resolute look gradually welled up in her clear eyes.
"Sister," Ying Huanhuan said, gently grasping Ying Xiaoxiao's wrist. "Don't worry, Lin Yi will defeat him."
"I hope so..." Ying Xiaoxiao murmured, a complicated look flashing in her eyes, without saying anything more.
When Pang Tong and the other disciples of the Desolate Hall saw Wang Yan, their expressions turned serious, and a look of fear flashed in their eyes.
The high-ranking members of the Dao Sect, seated directly in front of the platform, all had complex expressions when they saw Wang Yan.
After a while, Ying Xuanzi looked at Qi Lei, then waved his hand and said, "It's about time. Announce the start of the palace examination."
Qi Lei nodded, then stood up. His sharp gaze swept over the endless sea of people on the mountain peak, and under his gaze, the originally noisy mountaintop gradually quieted down.
"I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on the rules of the Palace Examination. However, the Palace Examination is merely a friendly competition, not a matter of life and death. So be careful to stop when you've made a move. If you're suspected of trying to kill your fellow disciples, the sect rules will not let you off lightly!"
Qi Lei's booming shouts echoed throughout the land, and as he finished speaking, his gaze subtly swept towards the figure in the gray robe in the distance.
"Before arriving, everyone should have received their assigned examination session from their respective halls. Now, let's begin the palace examination according to the session number!"
As soon as Qi Lei finished speaking, the mountaintop erupted in excitement once again. Many disciples flipped their hands, and a jade piece appeared. Then, countless figures burst forth, landing on the hundreds of platforms on the mountaintop.
Lin Yi clenched his fist, and a jade piece appeared in his palm, with the words "Jia Wu" written on it. Pang Tong and the other three were Jia Yi to Jia Si.
Lin Yi glanced around, then darted out, landing on a spacious platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
As Lin Yi landed on the platform, a murmur of surprise suddenly arose from the surrounding crowd.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and looked up. He saw a graceful figure holding a green zither, drifting over and landing lightly in front of him.
Looking at the pretty and lively girl, Lin Yi smiled slightly and teased, "What a coincidence, it seems you're going to be eliminated in the first round..."
Ying Huanhuan rolled her dark eyes and put on a pitiful look, "Then why don't you be so ruthless in this match and let me win once?"
"You're overthinking it," Lin Yi rolled his eyes at Ying Huanhuan, then stepped forward and said, "Let's get started, or we shouldn't waste everyone's time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi clenched his hands, and a surge of Yuan energy swept out from his body.
"Hmph, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing Lin Yi's actions, Ying Huanhuan let out a soft snort, and then her expression became serious.
"I've been wanting to get rid of you, you arrogant bastard! Today, I'll show you what I'm made of!"
Ying Huanhuan muttered to herself, then waved her jade-like hand and floated into the air, sitting cross-legged with the emerald green zither on her lap. Then, her perfect jade-like hand landed on the zither.
At this moment, Ying Huanhuan's expression also became more solemn. Light gathered in her big eyes, and her gaze carried a hint of stubborn sharpness.
With a sharp look in her large eyes, Ying Huanhuan suddenly plucked the strings of her zither, and a light, melodious sound rang out. Several emerald arcs of light shot out and fiercely towards Lin Yi!
Chapter 242 What a naughty child! [Please continue reading]
Bang bang!
Facing the incoming emerald arcs of light, Lin Yi stretched out his hand and suddenly clenched it. Before the arcs of light could even get close to his body, they were crushed and sent flying.
Seeing how easily Lin Yi had broken down her offensive, Ying Huanhuan frowned slightly. Only when she truly stood opposite Lin Yi could she feel how troublesome and difficult he was to deal with.
Ying Huanhuan placed her jade-like hand on the strings, her pearly teeth lightly biting her lip, a stubborn curve appearing at the corner of her lips. Then, she suddenly pressed her jade-like hand on the strings, and then, bright red blood seeped out from her palm again. In the blink of an eye, countless streaks of blood spread across the emerald green zither.
hum!
A powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted from Ying Huanhuan's body, and a monstrous red light burst forth from within her, eventually transforming into a gigantic Bodhi tree behind her.
The Bodhi tree swayed gently, and as its leaves moved, melodious and pleasant sound waves echoed throughout the world.
The enormous Bodhi tree that suddenly appeared in the field quickly attracted a lot of attention, and then a chorus of exclamations spread rapidly. It was clear that everyone had heard of the powerful martial arts in this Heavenly Palace, second only to the Heavenly Emperor Scripture.
"The Sound of Formless Bodhi".
Ying Huanhuan's pretty face turned serious. Then, she glanced at Lin Yi with her big eyes, and her slender hand suddenly plucked across the strings of the zither, "The Faces of All Beings!"
The sound waves suddenly emanated, and the Bodhi tree began to sway. In an instant, the entire world was filled with the melodious sound waves. As these sound waves echoed, the space in front of Lin Yi began to distort, like a mirror. Then, a figure exactly like Lin Yi slowly walked out.
"Interesting, but this is not enough," Lin Yi smiled slightly and punched the shadow. With a "bang," the shadow was blasted apart on the spot.
When Ying Huanhuan saw Lin Yi destroy the shadow in one move, a look of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still had no intention of admitting defeat. She gritted her teeth and was about to pluck the strings again.
Snapped!
However, just as her zither strings vibrated, a hand swept over and slammed down on the zither, completely disrupting the sound waves.
"you!"
Gazing at Lin Yi, who appeared before her like a ghost, Ying Huanhuan bit her lip lightly. With a thought, leaves fell from the huge Bodhi tree behind her, like sharp arrows, carrying an extremely fierce wind, enveloping Lin Yi.
