Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 164: Invitation to the Ranked Battle
The floor cracked, the roof of the palace collapsed, and the raised gravel and dust completely enveloped the area where Yun Che was, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Ah?" Ling Jie exclaimed because he suddenly found that the connection between himself and the sword had suddenly disappeared. At this moment, a silver long sword spun out from the dust, drew a long parabola in the air, and landed in front of Ling Jie. The moment it landed, it suddenly made a "ding" sound. With a harsh sound, the long sword that was originally intact suddenly shattered like fragile glass and scattered into pieces on the ground.
Ling Jie stood there dumbly, looking at the fragments of the sword at his feet, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
The dust at the entrance of the hall finally began to fall, and Yun Che walked over slowly, dragging his heavy sword. His face was extremely calm, and there was no trace of the exertion he had just exerted.
"Little brother Ling Jie, your third sword... I also blocked it. You... lost..." Yun Che stood in front of Ling Jie and said slowly. The third sword he resisted was extremely dangerous, and he was suspected of cheating. Because he had to use two swords one after another, a Falling Moon and Sinking Star and a Heavenly Wolf Slash, to defeat Ling Jie's sword. But what Ling Jie kept clamoring for was to block three of his swords, not how many swords to block.
Ling Jie looked at Yun Che, then at the broken sword on the ground, and said in a daze: "I lost unexpectedly... You actually even hit my sword... and even shook my sword. Broken..."
"There are many people in the Villa who can take my sword head-on, but their profound strength is much higher than mine, and they are also older than me, so there is nothing special about them next. You are obviously at the True Mysterious Realm, but you are actually really Take it..." At this point, Ling Jie's eyes suddenly flashed with strange light, and he looked directly at Yun Che: "You are simply too powerful! You are only so strong at the Zhenxuan realm. If you reach the Lingxuan realm, I will There is no way I can be your match. No wonder such a beautiful princess sister falls in love with you. You seem to be worthy of the princess sister."
Yun Che twisted his lips and said: "It's useless to say this. You haven't forgotten what to do if you lose, have you? As a real man, you must be responsible for what you have said! Otherwise, you don't deserve to be Called a man.”
"Hmph!" Ling Jie raised his nose and said without any pretense: "Of course I, Ling Jie, will not go back on what I said. I just accept you as the boss, what's the big deal?"
After saying that, he seriously took a step forward and said with a playful smile: "Ahem, Boss Yun Che, I, Ling Jie, admit defeat, and I will be your little brother from now on. Well, Boss, how did you become so powerful in the True Profound Realm? . As the boss, you must not be stingy with your younger brother. You must give me some guidance in this regard! If I could be like you, I might not have to challenge my brother every time! My nose and face were all bruised and bruised by my brother’s beating.”
Ling Jie's clean admission surprised Yun Che. And there was nothing artificial or forced about his appearance. There was actually some curiosity and...admiration in his eyes!
Obviously, I used the profound power of the True Mysterious Realm to hit him hard and smash his sword, which really caused a great psychological impact on him.
Yun Che said with a smile: "Well, it depends on whether you, the younger brother, are qualified. If you are qualified and satisfy me, the boss, I might be able to tell you."
Ling Jie's eyes suddenly brightened, and he shouted excitedly: "Really? Wow, ah, ah, ah, if you are really willing to tell me, let alone your little brother, I can become your disciple!"
Ling Yun walked over, smiled faintly at Yun Che, and said sincerely: "Brother Yun, when I first came to the imperial city, I heard rumors about you everywhere. At that time, I didn't take it seriously. But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is completely better than the rumors. I believe Xiaojie I am also defeated and convinced.”
After saying that, Ling Yun gave Yun Che a meaningful look, then turned to Lan Xueruo and said: "Your Highness the Princess, our brothers came to the Imperial City this time to send an invitation to your royal family, and please accept it."
Ling Yun took out a pale gold invitation and handed it into Lan Xueruo's hand. Ling Yun continued: "In half a year, we will welcome your royal family to the villa. It would be best if Her Royal Highness the Princess can go there in person. This time the princess has a talented and amazing person like Brother Yun by her side. I believe that in three years' time, your royal family will be able to shine because of Brother Yun... In this way, our two brothers' mission is completed and we say goodbye."
After bowing to Lan Xueruo and Yun Che, before Lan Xueruo could respond, Ling Yun pulled Ling Jie up: "Xiaojie, we should go."
"Ah? Let's go? But I haven't asked the boss for advice on how to become so powerful in the Zhenxuan realm...ah!"
Before Ling Jie could finish a sentence, Ling Yun had already pulled him far away with his weird and unpredictable movement skills. The next second, Ling Jie's voice came from far outside the main hall: "Boss, you must come to Tianjian Villa when you have time... I want those guys to know what a real i genius is, and one who can do it at the True Mysterious Realm Turn them over...ah, brother, please don't pull me..."
Ling Yun took out the invitation, and after saying this, he pulled Ling Jie away directly. The whole process was completed in a blink of an eye, catching Lan Xueruo off guard so quickly that he didn't even have time to say farewell. She looked in the direction of the palace door and said in surprise: "Ling Yun has a very calm and humble temperament. Why did he suddenly leave in such a hurry? Did he think of something urgent?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Che beside her suddenly swayed, then knelt down on one knee holding the epee, his face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining a large area of the floor in front of him red.
"Ah! Junior Brother Yun!" Lan Xueruo's face turned pale. She hurriedly supported Yun Che and said anxiously: "Junior Brother Yun, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Is it serious?"
Yun Che leaned most of his body weight on the heavy sword, shook his head, and smiled with a pale face: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine. This Ling Jie's sword... is so domineering. Although I blocked it with force just now, But I still suffered some internal injuries. The reason why Ling Yun was in such a hurry to leave... was because he saw that I was trying my best to suppress the injury in order to save my face."
Lan Xueruo quickly took out a Heaven-Returning Pill and watched Yun Che eat it. It was not until Yun Che's expression gradually softened that she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I know that since Junior Brother Yun dares to make a bet with Ling Jie, He must be confident enough, but he was almost nervous just now. Although Ling Jie looked small, those who came from Tianjian Villa were freaks, and their strength could not be calculated based on common sense. You still won and actually made him your little brother."
The operation of the Great Buddha Buddha Technique allowed Yun Che's injuries to heal at an astonishing speed. After listening to Lan Xueruo's words, he shook his head and said: "I think that Ling Jie is immature, so it was just a temporary idea. Although he agreed, there is no binding force at all. I just hope that he can do it in the future. It’s just convenient in some ways because of him. After all, he is the son of the owner of Tianjian Villa.”
"By the way, the invitation that Ling Yun and the others came to send...could it be this?"
Lan Xueruo took out the invitation: "My father's prediction was correct, it is an invitation for the next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. The invitations for each competition are sent out half a year in advance to allow participants to participate in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament." The forces in the wind ranking battle have enough time to prepare.”
"That is to say, there is still half a year until the next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament?" Yun Che asked in surprise.
"Yes." Lan Xueruo nodded: "It is true that there is only half a year left. But Junior Brother Yun, you don't have to worry, because you don't need to participate in the next ranking competition, but the next one."
"The next term? Why?" Yun Che frowned. And he remembered what Ling Yun said before leaving, "I believe that in three years, your royal family will be able to shine because of Brother Yun"... Three years from now? Could it be that what Ling Yun was referring to was also the next Blue Wind Ranking Tournament?
Lan Xueruo explained: "The Blue Wind Ranking Competition is held every three years. As the name suggests, this is a competition that determines the ranking of the Blue Wind Empire's forces. But those participating in the competition are not the strongest of each force, because no matter which force they are, Especially those huge forces will never expose their trump card to others, so the competition of 'the strongest' is not realistic at all. Instead, the ranking is determined by the competition of the younger generation because of what the younger generation can achieve. The height is enough to demonstrate the foundation and comprehensive strength of this force, and its ranking is basically the fairest."
"In each Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, there are approximately five hundred forces invited. Each force can send up to three young disciples to participate. The highest ranking achieved by the disciples will determine the force ranking. Participating disciples The age limit is between sixteen and twenty. No one under sixteen or over twenty is allowed to participate. There is a bone age test before the war. This cannot be cheated. Therefore, in order to ensure the maximum combat power, Generally, the age of the participating disciples is concentrated in the age group of 20, 19, and 18 years old, and there are very few younger than 18 years old. Junior Brother Yun has just turned 17 years old, and his starting point is low, so he is not suitable to participate in the next Blue Wind Ranking. Battle. In the next term, Junior Brother Yun will be twenty years old and has three years of accumulation, so it is the best time to participate in the ranking battle. "
"I see." Yun Che nodded slowly. After being silent for a while, he suddenly asked: "Senior sister, the first placer in the last Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, what was his profound strength level at that time?"
Lan Xueruo didn't need to think and said directly: "The first place in the last Blue Wind Ranking Tournament was the Ling Yun you just met."
"Is it him?" Yun Che whispered.
"Junior Brother Yun, what do you think of Ling Yun...?" Lan Xueruo asked.
Yun Che thought for a while and said slowly: "Ling Jie's talent is amazing and he can be called a monster, but at least I still have the courage to fight three swords with him. But Ling Yun, he gives me the only feeling of being unfathomable. Even his temperament is clean and pure, making it impossible for people to feel bad about him. It can be said that there are no flaws in his whole person. "
"Your evaluation is very similar to my father's evaluation." Lan Xueruo sighed: "When my father met Ling Yun for the first time, he gave him a 'flawless' evaluation. If nothing else goes wrong, he will soon He will still participate in the upcoming Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.”
"Oh." Yun Che responded, then raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You said... he will participate in this session? In other words, his current age is less than twenty years old? Then the last session, Is his age just..."
"That's right. When he won the first place in the last Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, he was only seventeen years old," Lan Xueruo said, "His profound strength cultivation at that time was at the ninth level of the Spirit Profound Realm."
Seventeen-year-old at the ninth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm... Yun Che took a slight breath of air.
"The seventeen-year-old ninth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm is extremely amazing, but Ling Yun's strength is far inferior to the ninth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm. In the finals, his opponent was Mu Lingxue, the number one disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. At that time, Mu Lingxue Ling Xue was twenty years old, her profound strength was at the peak of the tenth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, and she was only half a step away from the Earth Profound Realm. She was the highest level among all the disciples participating in the war at that time. But with Ling Yun's hand... she was only in the world. Ling Yun's men have gone through the Seven Swords...still without Ling Yun's full strength."
Yun Che: "..."
"Three years later, Ling Yun's profound strength has reached an astonishing height. Under the age of twenty, he is the undisputed number one in the entire Blue Wind Empire, and no one will deny this. In the Blue Wind ranking war, the major sects competed fiercely for the ranking, especially the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, Xiao Sect, and Burning Heaven Sect. They all fought to the death for the second place, but never thought that one day they would replace the number one position of Tianjian Villa. Because the number one position of Tianjian Villa has never been shaken, just like among all the sects, there is no young disciple who can be Ling Yun's opponent."
