312: Returning to the Holy Land, astonishing strength

After a period of the Holy Son Selection, no one continued to challenge on the ten Arenas; the ten Disciples defending the Arenas were all former Personal Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land.

"Who is Su Yun?"

Hearing the noisy discussions of the nearby Disciples, Zhou Lie, a Personal Disciple of Cuihuo Peak, frowned and asked with some confusion.

He had been out adventuring for several years and had only returned to the Holy Land a few days ago, so he was unclear about the recent situation in the Holy Land.

"Su Yun is the new Disciple True Person Liuguang took in a few months ago; we likely aren't his match."

Li Guanshan, a Personal Disciple of Heavy Rock Peak, said with certainty.

He had previously obtained many opportunities in the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm, so he broke through to the Soul Emergence Layer One Realm after returning to the Holy Land.

After breaking through to the Soul Emergence Realm, he discovered that the power of the Spells Su Yun had previously released far exceeded the Soul Emergence Layer One Realm.

In other words, Su Yun's strength also exceeded the Soul Emergence Layer One Realm.

Before participating in this Holy Son Selection, he had been worried about encountering Su Yun.

But to his surprise, Su Yun hadn't participated.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

If Su Yun had participated, he certainly wouldn't have had a chance to obtain the position of Saint.

Zhou Lie glanced at Li Guanshan and said with disdain:

"A Personal Disciple who just joined Flowing Light Peak?

At most, he's in the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if he's a bit more powerful, he'd only be in the Spirit Transformation Realm. How could he be our match?

Li Guanshan, we haven't seen each other for so long, and you've already broken through to the Soul Emergence Layer One Realm, yet you're still afraid of a Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivator?"

The former Personal Disciples on the other Arenas laughed loudly:

"Li Guanshan, stop joking."

"That Junior Brother named Su Yun is so powerful, yet we didn't see him come to participate in the Holy Son Selection!"

"Exactly! So the position of Saint will definitely be mine this time!"

"Tch, once we enter the next round, I'll be the first to take you out!"

Li Guanshan shook his head and didn't explain.

After all, for someone who hadn't seen Su Yun take action, it was very hard to believe that a Junior Brother who had only joined the Holy Land for a few months would have the strength of the Soul Emergence Realm.

At this time, several Elders sitting on the stands of the Arena sparring area were discussing among themselves:

"There is only half an incense stick of time left before the first round ends."

"It seems Elder Meng's two Disciples aren't coming to participate in the Holy Son Selection."

Perfected Lei Ying's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she said with certainty:

"That's not necessarily true; they might arrive in a moment."

"And even if the time is up, if she says to extend the time a bit, could you possibly disagree?"

"Uh, it's not like we couldn't make an exception."

The other Elders coughed slightly in embarrassment.

And when Venerable Yuling saw faint colored spiritual light suddenly appear in the distant sky, she spoke directly:

"They're here, Elder Meng is back!"

The other Elders' gazes instantly focused on the distant void.

Three figures suddenly appeared; it was indeed Meng Shuyan's group of three who had left the Myriad Demon Domain and returned to the Taixuan Holy Land.

"Wait, the strength of Elder Meng's two Disciples is a bit off!"

The Cuihuo Peak Elder's eyes widened as he spoke in shock.

If he wasn't mistaken, that Disciple named Su Yun was actually in the Nascent Soul Tenth Layer Realm?

How was this possible?

Wasn't Su Yun only at the Soul Transformation Tenth Level last time?

How did his strength increase so quickly?

Furthermore, the aura on his body was very solid, and his Foundation was extremely stable.

What exactly was going on?

The other Elders also looked at Su Yun with extreme shock.

At this moment, the Disciples in the sparring Arena area instantly erupted into a frenzy.

Many Disciples greatly admired Su Yun.

After all, they believed that Su Yun was not from a major cultivation Family, yet he could increase his Realm so quickly; he must have practiced very hard.

"Senior Brother Su is back!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Su will definitely be the first in this Holy Son Selection. I knew it was impossible for Senior Brother Su not to participate; he must have just come back from training outside."

"What is Senior Brother Su's current strength?

How come I can't tell?

He seemed to be at the Soul Transformation Tenth Level before; he couldn't already be in the Soul Emergence Realm now, could he?"

"Soul Emergence Realm? That's too strong!

It looks like we'll get to see Senior Brother Su show off his skills again!"

Many female Disciples looked at Su Yun's figure with burning eyes.

In an instant, Meng Shuyan brought the two of them to the sparring Arena area.

"Yun'er, Shuang'er, I will watch the battle from the stands.

You two have to do your best!"

Meng Shuyan's tone was gentle, then she vanished from the spot in a flash and arrived on the stands... on one of the Arenas.

Zhou Lie glanced at Su Yun and said directly:

"You are Junior Brother Su?

You don't seem that powerful."

He found that he couldn't see through Su Yun's specific Realm, but this wasn't surprising; after all, some Cultivators would practice Advanced Spells to hide their Realm.

"Then it'll be you."

Su Yun looked at Zhou Lie and said.

Then, he turned to look at Luo Qingshuang and said softly:

"Senior Sister Qingshuang, I'm going to spar on the Arena!"

"Go ahead, I believe you can easily win this match."

Luo Qingshuang's eyes flashed with a gentle look as she said with certainty.

Su Yun leaped onto the Arena in a flash.

And Luo Qingshuang also went onto another Arena to spar.

Zhou Lie was somewhat surprised:

"Quite bold, to actually dare to challenge me.

I'll give you a three-move head start, otherwise this battle will be over as soon as I act."

"Are you sure?"

Su Yun asked.

"Of course, you're only in the Spirit Transformation Realm, while I'm in the Soul Emergence Layer One Realm.

Isn't it normal to give you a three-move head start?"

Zhou Lie waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

As a future Saint, he would definitely need to have good relations with other Disciples.

By generously letting his Junior Brother strike first this time, he could surely improve his image.

"Then Senior Brother, I'm attacking!"

Su Yun said indifferently.

At this moment, Zhou Lie suddenly felt something was wrong.

Then, the Su Yun in front of him suddenly disappeared.

This speed?

Is this still the Spirit Transformation Realm?

Before he could react.

A thunderous boom suddenly rang out, and a dazzling red and white spiritual light flashed around.

"This..."

Zhou Lie only felt his world spinning; the protective Spiritual Energy Barrier on his body instantly shattered, and a powerful force swept through his entire body.

In an instant, he lost consciousness and was sent flying hundreds of feet, falling heavily to the ground.

And Su Yun's figure appeared once more, as if the one who had just acted wasn't him at all.

A moment later, the Holy Land Deacons on the Arena loudly announced:

"Flowing Light Peak Personal Disciple Su Yun wins!"

The Personal Disciples on the other Arenas still hadn't reacted to what had happened.

It took a full three breaths of time before they came to their senses:

"What Realm is Junior Brother Su in exactly?

How can he be so strong?"

"Such fast speed, I didn't even react!"

...The Disciples near the Arena were also shocked into silence. Although they had anticipated that Su Yun could easily defeat Zhou Lie, they didn't expect him to win so effortlessly, finishing it in one move.

"Su Yun is finally back, and he's become even stronger!"

"As expected of Su Yun, he's just incredible!"

In the team of Jade Pearl Peak Personal Disciples, An Yuyao and Chu Ningyue said with some excitement.

Their beautiful eyes were fixed on Su Yun's figure, their hearts fluttering.
