Just as Tai Shi Xiao Xiao was about to announce the conclusion of this year's Dragon and Phoenix Ranking challenge, Guan Yue stepped forward and loudly declared, "Everyone, taking this opportunity today, I challenge Senior Brother Lu Xiao. Please grant me permission, Grand Historian Vice Dean."
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao immediately smiled with delight and said, "Today is indeed the day for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking challenge, so you can challenge Lu Xiao. I hope your match brings everyone some insights."
Upon hearing that Guan Yue wanted to challenge him, Lu Xiao felt a surge of immense anger: "This little brat dares to challenge me? I haven't settled the score for bullying my brother yet, and now he wants to ride on my head. Since he seeks punishment, I'll oblige him and make sure he crawls back today."
Lu Xiao leaped into the air and landed on the Arena, making a spectacular entrance that earned him a round of applause.
As Tai Shi Xiao Xiao announced the start of the match, Lu Xiao immediately launched an attack on Guan Yue. He did not want a repeat of what happened between Ouyang Shaohua and Lu Tao, so he aimed to take the initiative. With his half-step Guardian Realm advantage, he was naturally filled with confidence.
Guan Yue saw that Lu Xiao's initial attack was fierce and full-force; he understood that Lu Xiao wanted a quick resolution but remained unhurried. Guan Yue regarded Lu Xiao as a training opponent and began to respond according to his own strategy. First, he used the four forms of Li Zu Divine Fist against Lu Xiao. Initially dismissive, Lu Xiao only began to realize Guan Yue's strength after he infused his attacks with Five Elements Will. Then, Guan Yue drew out the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword and started employing the Delicate Sword Technique. With swift movements—left, right, up, down, thrusting, lifting, bending, digging—he caught Lu Xiao off guard. Lu Xiao soon discovered that this sword technique seemed chaotic yet was filled with lethal intent in every strike. As Guan Yue continuously executed the Delicate Sword Technique, Lu Xiao felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head because it was incredibly difficult to counter.
Attack is the best defense. With no way to defend himself effectively, Lu Xiao had no choice but to fight back desperately. When he also unleashed the Seven Steps to Heaven Sword Technique, Guan Yue was astonished to find that Lu Xiao had learned all five initial moves of it. Overjoyed, Guan Yue immediately pressured Lu Xiao to repeatedly use these five moves so he could observe them closely while keeping up relentless pressure that prevented Lu Xiao from switching techniques.
Thanks to Guan Yue's timely addition of Five Elements Will, his suppression of Lu Xiao's swordplay was very evident; thus, Lu Xiao could only keep using the first five moves of Seven Steps to Heaven in their duel.
Under Lu Xiao's guidance during their match, Guan Yue was no fool; he quickly grasped the concepts and began using the first four moves of Seven Steps to Heaven Sword Technique against Lu Xiao.
The first five moves of Seven Swords Moving Heaven are: One Sword Creates Waves, Two Swords Transform into Wind and Rain, Three Swords Calm Thunder and Wind, Four Swords Clear the World, Five Swords Cut Through Clouds. Under Lu Xiao's guidance, Guan Yue had now fully mastered the first four moves and even managed to execute the fifth move somewhat decently. At this point, Guan Yue realized that Seven Swords Moving Heaven needed to be used in succession to maximize its power because the sword momentum created by one move served as a starting condition for the next. His long-standing stagnation in executing just one move stemmed from not understanding the essence of this sword technique. Once he figured this out and went on to comprehend Seven Swords Moving Heaven further, it became much easier.
Lu Xiao was unaware that he was acting as an impromptu teacher by hand-holding Guan Yue through how to use Seven Swords Moving Heaven. He continued his fierce assaults without wanting Guan Yue to gain an upper hand because he feared that Guan Yue might employ that strange move used by Ouyang Shaohua earlier—a move he had yet to devise a counter for.
Having unraveled the mysteries of Seven Swords Moving Heaven, Guan Yue planned to put Magic Supreme Technique into practice since he had not had a chance to use it since starting his training; he had only theorized about it without knowing its true power.
Thus, Guan Yue pushed energy into his Dantian, causing black mist to scatter everywhere and darken half the sky.
As soon as the black mist emerged, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao widened her eyes in shock and focused intently on Guan Yue's every action. She and Dean Kintian had repeatedly studied why they could not use Magic Supreme Technique despite sensing its immense Combat Power; now seeing Guan Yue utilize it made her pay full attention.
Amidst swirling black clouds, Guan Yue activated his Heaven and Earth Furnace as a strong Demonic Intent spread outward. The overwhelming pressure caused ripples of unease among the students below. What is this? Why does it instill such fear?
Guan Yue controlled the Demonic Intent and enveloped Lu Xiao.
Seeing the situation was not right, Lu Xiao immediately exerted all his strength to resist. At that moment, Guan Yue felt waves of Origin Energy surging towards him from Lu Xiao, which quickly transformed into the power of the Palace Sea. It was swift and delightful. He had easily obtained another's Combat Power.
This was devouring!
Guan Yue found it unbelievable, truly astonishing. If he could strengthen himself this way, why bother with cultivation? He could just devour! In no time, his cultivation would make significant progress.
At this moment, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao was wide-eyed, observing closely. Lu Xiao also opened his eyes wide because his Origin Energy was flowing out like a flood. He was terrified; if this continued, his Origin Energy would be completely depleted! He would become a useless person. He immediately shouted, "I concede, I concede," echoing Lu Tao's earlier cry.
Guan Yue slowly retracted the Magic Supreme Technique. The dark clouds dispersed, and the students saw that Lu Xiao on stage was already exhausted and lifeless, lying weakly on the ground. Seeing this, Lu Tao immediately flew onto the Arena to support his brother, his eyes filled with rage. This Guan Yue would pay for this!
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao's heart trembled; this was the power of Ancient Magic, indeed astonishing and terrifying. But how could they turn it into a technique they could use? Now that they had the technique, only the secrets of cultivation remained. Yes, they should let Ouyang Shaohua learn it too; if Ouyang Shaohua could master it, then surely he could learn it as well!
A smile appeared on Tai Shi Xiao Xiao's face, looking very pleasant.
Du Diwei, He Bi, Jiang Tianlan, and Xiahou Xiong were numb to Guan Yue's victory; it seemed Guan Yue had truly become the top student of Qilin Academy, unbeatable. Ouyang Shaohua was also a formidable character; her strength was among the top two or three and might even rival Guan Yue. They no longer had any interest in challenging either of them.
However, the anger in Jiang Tianlan and Xiahou Xiong's eyes towards Guan Yue had not faded.
While Guan Yue dominated Qilin Academy, Dongfang Yu, Miao Fang, Yin Dongnan, and others were setting up a formation with a simple goal: to trap Guan Yue and take him down.
"What if that kid Guan Yue doesn't come?" Yin Dongnan said worriedly. Dongfang Yu laughed heartily: "Du Diwei guaranteed it; Guan Yue will definitely come."
"Then won't Du Diwei's relationship with Guan Yue be strained?" Miao Fang added.
"What strain? If we can eliminate Guan Yue in one go, there won't be any future issues." Dongfang Yu sneered before continuing to set up the formation; they must capture Guan Yue and not let him escape. Otherwise, Duanmu Changying's wrath could burn them all! This was also why Miao Fang had been feeling down.
But Dongfang Yu understood very clearly that as long as Guan Yue existed, everything belonging to Duanmu Changying would eventually go to him—even the Five Great Refining Pools might be given to him as well. At that point, Guan Yue would become the new master of Afu Mi Forbidden Zone. Meanwhile, Dongfang Yu and his group would remain as Guan Yue's slaves, subjected to his whims—a situation Dongfang Yu absolutely could not allow.
Capturing Guan Yue and turning him into a puppet would change everything significantly; everything would belong to Dongfang Yu. Perhaps even Guan Yue's blood would bring surprises for Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu has always used this statement to incite Miao Fang and Yin Dongnan. Yin Dongnan wholeheartedly follows Dongfang Yu, while Miao Fang is indecisive because she has no vested interest in Guan Yue. Although she is very angry that the masters are training Guan Yue, she knows that their decision must have conditions, and since Guan Yue has met those conditions, there is nothing she can do. After all, it is her own inability to meet the requirements. Therefore, she does not take Dongfang Yu's actions to heart; she just often hangs out with him and feels that it would be ungrateful to withdraw at this moment.
However, Teacher He is very excited. The thought of capturing Guan Yue soon and wreaking havoc fills him with joy. He eagerly awaits the moment when Guan Yue submits.
Thanks to Teacher He's introduction, they have been in contact with Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian for a long time. They even gifted Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian a treasure, an ultra Imperial-Grade Weapon. Moreover, Dongfang Yu agreed to take Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian to the Five Great Refining Pools in the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone for cultivation, covering all expenses, which delighted Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
It truly feels like a stroke of good fortune; Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian is filled with joy for revenge. Guan Yue, you will finally see how unbearable your situation becomes. With someone like Dongfang Yu, the Boundary Guardian, there is no doubt that Guan Yue will die!
The competition has finally ended.
As Guan Yue and Ouyang Shaohua walked together, Du Diwei warmly greeted Guan Yue: “Master Guan, shall we go for a drink? Congratulations on being ranked first in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking! A few friends would like to meet you and chat. Please honor us with your presence?” Seeing the cheerful expression on Du Diwei, Guan Yue felt warmth in his heart and replied, “Sure, where are we planning to gather?”
“Shall we go to the Sun and Moon Tower? We haven't had a drink together yet.” As Du Diwei spoke, he pulled Guan Yue outside. However, Ouyang Shaohua intervened: “Master Guan, at this time, maybe we should skip it. Drinking can be done anytime.”
Today, Guan Yue felt that Du Diwei was particularly enthusiastic, even starting to pull on his arm. It seemed there were friends who wanted to see him; he decided to go along since it's important to maintain friendships.
He softly told Ouyang Shaohua: “Sister, don’t worry. I also want to hang out with Brother Du. I’ll be back soon. You can head back first. Don’t worry; nothing will happen.”
“Just be careful,” was all that Ouyang Shaohua could say, her eyes filled with concern. She sensed that something might happen to Guan Yue, but since he insisted on going, she didn’t want to undermine his wishes. After he left, she decided to follow him discreetly, trusting her instincts.
Thus, Guan Yue summoned his flying sword and flew out of the courtyard with Du Diwei.
