634: Chapter 634 Despair, Vanished Like a Bubble
At Murong Hanglei's dormitory palace.
"Everyone, we've arrived."
"That is my dormitory palace over there."
Murong Hanglei pointed to the palace ahead to the right and smiled pleasantly.
"Please follow me."
To the surprise of Liu Gaoyan and the others, Murong Hanglei did not lead them into the dormitory palace but instead flew into the air toward the back of the palace.
Su Yuan's face showed no emotion; no matter where the battle took place, there would only be one outcome, and nothing would change.
The group landed on an open space behind the dormitory palace, and a Triangular Object appeared in Murong Hanglei's hand.
"Junior Brother Su, we will enter the Hidden Star Space to fight later."
"It's more convenient for us to move around in there."
Su Yuan nodded. "Alright, I'll follow Senior Brother Hanglei's lead."
The so-called Hidden Star Space was a space used for combat.
It was convenient, as it could be generated by simply throwing the Triangular Object into the air, and was typically used for resolving small-scale martial duels.
Above the open space, Xia Chengxiong and many other figures stood in the Void Realm, looking toward Su Yuan from a distance.
Their auras were similar to Xia Chengxiong's; even if they were weaker, it wasn't by much.
"Why did Murong Hanglei choose this time to make a move against Student Su Yuan? Does he not know that Student Su Yuan just ranked first in the overall standings of the Divine Void Simulation Field?"
"After testing it on Murong Hanglei for so long, that Breathing Technique of his makes it very difficult for the Star Power Rank to break through to Star Void Level Star Power. The side effects are too great, and the emotions become uncontrollable; this Breathing Technique ultimately can't be presented in public."
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man looked toward Su Yuan with interest and said, "Wait a moment."
"Let's wait until Murong Hanglei comes into contact with Student Su Yuan's Star Power and see if the Star Power Rank can break through to Star Void Rank. If it succeeds, perhaps the side effects can be resolved."
"Murong Yan, that sounds nice, but do you think Murong Hanglei's strength is enough to even touch Student Su Yuan? With Student Su Yuan's current strength, Murong Hanglei facing him is undoubtedly like an egg striking a stone."
Hearing this, Murong Yan's eyes flickered with a hint of coldness as he looked down at Murong Hanglei. "If he can't even do that, then Murong Hanglei has lost his value."
Below, Murong Hanglei was unaware that this duel with Su Yuan might be the Murong Family's final test for him.
Xia Chengxiong remained silent among the group from the Murong Family, looking at Su Yuan with a faint smile on his face.
After this battle, the Murong Family's plans would come to naught.
Murong Hanglei would become an outcast, no longer valued by some members of the Murong Family.
Between a possessor of Star Level Star Power with a normal temperament and one who was frequently insane, which was more important?
The side effects of the Breathing Technique Murong Hanglei cultivated were too great; who would Cultivate it if this problem couldn't be solved?
Even if this Breathing Technique could raise the Star Power Rank to Star Void Rank, what use was it if one couldn't control their emotions? They would eventually become a madman.
It all depended on Murong Hanglei's performance in the upcoming battle against Su Yuan, and whether he could raise his Star Power Rank and break through the Bottleneck by coming into contact with Su Yuan's Star Power.
"Junior Brother Su, everyone, please follow me into the Hidden Star Space."
Seeing that the time was right, Murong Hanglei threw the Triangular Object into the air.
In an instant, the scenery around Su Yuan and the others changed rapidly, and they arrived in a dead-silent Void Realm.
Outside, the Triangular Object instantly turned invisible and disappeared from mid-air.
Such a trick naturally couldn't block Xia Chengxiong and the other Immortal Realms; they remained standing in the Void Realm, their eyes piercing through the hidden Triangular Object to see the scene inside the Hidden Star Space.
"Junior Brother Su, I am ready. Let me know whenever you are ready."
Murong Hanglei stood with one hand behind his back, smiling at Su Yuan with an air of certain victory.
Seeing Murong Hanglei so confident, Xue Yang and the others couldn't help but chuckle, forcing themselves not to laugh out loud.
"I am ready as well."
Su Yuan stood tall in the Void Realm, his calm eyes sweeping over Murong Hanglei.
"Good. Qiushui, count to three, and then the battle between Junior Brother Su and me will officially begin."
Murong Qiushui was silent for a second. "Alright."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
Murong Hanglei was about to exert his strength, and layers of black ripples spread from his body toward the surroundings.
Startling Shadow activated, and 'Power of Immediate Self' was released.
Before the black ripples could spread even ten centimeters, a suffocating aura surged in his heart, and a terrifying tearing sensation swept through his entire body.
He couldn't help but curl into a ball in the air, his expression pained.
After Su Yuan withdrew the 'Power of Immediate Self', Murong Hanglei remained collapsed in the Void Realm not far from Su Yuan, desperately trying to suppress his largely torn Physical Body.
At the same time, Murong Hanglei showed a look of disbelief, wondering how Su Yuan could be at the Star Suppression Realm Mid-Stage.
"Senior Brother Hanglei, the battle is over."
"I'm leaving now."
This scene was nothing out of the ordinary for Murong Qiushui, Liu Gaoyan, and the others, but for the Murong Family members outside, their eyes widened in shock.
"Wait!"
"The battle isn't over yet!"
Murong Hanglei roared and let out a howl, a terrifying black airflow surging from his body as he rushed toward Su Yuan.
Su Yuan stared at these black airflows; they seemed like the power of Star Power.
Black Star Power?
After a moment of doubt, Su Yuan released the 'Power of Immediate Self' again. The crushing force instantly tore through the black airflow and descended upon Murong Hanglei once more.
"Ah!"
Murong Hanglei's Physical Body was lacerated and bleeding; he sweated profusely as he forced himself to use his power to prevent his body from being completely torn apart.
Once completely torn, he would likely be disintegrated by the mysterious power Su Yuan released.
At this moment, Murong Hanglei was extremely desperate; how could he not even manage to touch Su Yuan's Star Power?
Since the start of the battle, Su Yuan hadn't even released his Star Power.
He had no idea what Su Yuan had done; an indescribable Disintegrating Force had suddenly descended upon him, attempting to dissolve everything about him.
Slowly, Murong Hanglei's eyes flickered between crimson and ink-black, the two colors flashing incessantly.
"Junior Brother Su, you forced my hand!"
Murong Hanglei, drawing strength from who-knows-where, turned into a streak of intertwined black and red light, vanished from his spot, and appeared right in front of Su Yuan.
Sensing the sinister aura rushing at him, Su Yuan frowned and raised his right hand.
Using the Law of Strength as the core, he condensed other Law Power.
Slap!
A sound that resonated through the Void Realm exploded, and Murong Hanglei was slapped away by Su Yuan, his left hand and left leg exploding in the process.
"Senior Brother Hanglei, please stop here. You have already lost."
Su Yuan's cold voice reached the ears of Murong Hanglei, who was lying in the Void Realm, his heart filled with despair.
Why, even at this point, had Su Yuan still not released his Star Power?
"Uncle Hanglei, stop. You are no match for Junior Brother Su."
Murong Qiushui paused for a moment. "Junior Brother Su has already become number one in the overall rankings of the Divine Void Simulation Field, and his strength surpasses Jiang Yu Ye's."
Upon hearing this, Murong Hanglei's body suddenly trembled, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood into the air, most of which then splattered onto himself.
Outside the Hidden Star Space.
"Murong Hanglei is useless; I wasted my high hopes on him."
"Years of expectation have ultimately turned into bubbles."
Murong Yan shook his head and spoke with a frown as he stared at Murong Hanglei's wretched state.
Xia Chengxiong finally spoke up. "In that case, the consensus between the Tianxing War Academy and the Murong Family ends here."
