330: The competition begins, easily resolved.

After a while.

Everyone arrived at another floating island.

This floating island was massive, spanning hundreds of thousands of feet.

Many Arenas for sparring were built upon it, with the ones in the center being the largest, measuring nearly ten thousand feet across.

Numerous spectator stands were built along the edges of the floating island, offering a clear view of the action on the Arenas.

By this time, many Cultivators from Cultivation Families had already arrived at the stands, quietly awaiting the start of the Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples.

Zhao Wuyuan led the Cultivators from the other nine Holy Lands to the center of the island.

There, Dao Yi Deacons registered the names of every Holy Land Disciple participating in the competition.

Shortly after, several Dao Yi Holy Land Elders appeared on the central stand, and the Elders from the other nine Holy Lands also made their way there to prepare to watch the matches.

The leading Dao Yi Elder spoke loudly to all the Holy Land Cultivators:

"Everyone, the Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples officially begins!"

"Will every registered Cultivator please head to their respective areas to participate in the competition!"

Once the Dao Yi Elder finished his announcement, the crowd erupted in excitement, with many Cultivators from the Cultivation Families secretly looking forward to the upcoming matches.

Among them, many Cultivators from Cultivation Families specifically kept their eyes on the Saints and Saintesses of the Ten Great Holy Lands.

If they could form marriage alliances with these powerful Saints and Saintesses, their families would likely become even stronger.

Su Yun looked at the Taixuan Disciples behind him and said:

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters!"

"The Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples has begun."

"I believe you can all achieve good rankings."

"Our Taixuan Holy Land is not much inferior to the other Holy Lands!"

"Now, go and participate in your respective matches!"

Blood boiling with excitement, the Taixuan Disciples shouted:

"Yes! Saint!"

"Our Taixuan Holy Land definitely won't be at the bottom this time!"

"We won't let the Saint down!"

...Afterward, hundreds of Taixuan Disciples headed to their respective areas to join the competition.

"Yuyao, Wan Ning, and Senior Sister Qingshuang, remember to be careful when sparring with Disciples from other Holy Lands."

"Don't get hurt."

Su Yun looked at the three women—An Yuyao and the others—and gave them a serious reminder.

"Okay, we'll be careful."

"I'll be careful."

"Junior Brother Yun, I'll be careful too!"

A warmth filled the hearts of the three women as they spoke softly.

Immediately after, they turned into three streaks of light and flew toward other areas.

Beside Su Yun, Chu Ningyue felt a bit excited because she was finally the only one left with him.

"Let's go, Ningyue."

Su Yun took Chu Ningyue and flickered over to the area where the Saints and Saintesses sparred.

"Ningyue, stay here in the Taixuan Holy Land's spectator stand and watch the matches. Don't wander off!"

"There are Taixuan Deacons on standby there, so it's safer."

Su Yun looked at Chu Ningyue and spoke softly.

"Okay, Su Yun, you have to do your best!"

Chu Ningyue waved her delicate hand, her smile blossoming like a flower.

She then went to the stands, resting her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Yun.

After Su Yun arrived at the central sparring Arena, the Saints and Saintesses from the other nine Holy Lands also arrived one after another.

"Not bad, Su Yun. So many Fairies are quite taken with you."

Liu Ruoxi gritted her teeth and approached Su Yun, speaking with a hint of annoyance.

Su Yun glanced at Liu Ruoxi with some confusion.

Why did he feel like Liu Ruoxi's tone was strange?

Could she be jealous?

No way!

He had only explored a Secret Realm with Liu Ruoxi; he hadn't done anything else!

He could only change the subject.

"Good morning, Miss Liu!"

"Su Yun, I forgot to bring that spirit robe of yours. I'll give it back to you next time!"

Liu Ruoxi's beautiful eyes flickered, her voice as ethereal as an orchid in a secluded valley.

Su Yun was puzzled.

spirit robe?

What spirit robe?

Then, he suddenly remembered the experience in the Abyssal Sea.

"No need. It's just an ordinary spirit robe."

Su Yun waved it off.

"No, you saved me last time. How could I just take your spirit robe?"

Liu Ruoxi shook her head and insisted.

She had actually brought the spirit robe, intending to return it to Su Yun when they met at the competition.

But for some reason, she suddenly didn't want to give it back anymore.

Just then, a Dao Yi Deacon by the Arena announced loudly:

"The competition officially begins! The match schedule will now be announced!"

He then circulated his spiritual power to activate a stone tablet on the perimeter of the Arena.

The stone tablet glowed with spiritual light, displaying the opponents for each Saint in this competition.

After two intense matches, it was finally Su Yun's turn.

"Taixuan Holy Son versus Tiandan Saint. Will the two Saints please step onto the Arena for their match."

A Dao Yi Deacon announced clearly.

With a flicker, Su Yun appeared on the Arena.

Liu Ruoxi's eyes were fixed intently on Su Yun.

She wanted to see just how strong Su Yun was now.

The gazes of several nearby Saints were also focused on Su Yun.

"Watch out, Taixuan Holy Son!"

The Tiandan Saint was a robust young man in blue robes, with flickers of pale red flames appearing on his body from time to time.

It was common knowledge that Cultivators from the Tiandan Holy Land specialized in Alchemy, so their combat strength was generally average, and they were mostly Spell Cultivators.

But he was different; he practiced a special Cultivation Technique that refined his Physical Body as if it were a Medicinal Pill.

Consequently, his Physical Body was also extremely powerful.

Furthermore, he possessed a type of spirit fire that could be used for both Alchemy and combat.

Thus, his fire-attribute Spells were also exceptionally strong.

"Make your move."

Su Yun said indifferently.

The Tiandan Saint laughed heartily:

"Watch this!"

A massive amount of pale red flames erupted from his body, transforming into hundreds of fireballs nearly a thousand feet in size that radiated an intense heat, turning the sky above the Arena a fiery red.

The fireballs then instantly merged into a sea of fire that swept toward Su Yun, covering the sky and the earth.

The Cultivators from the Cultivation Families watching from the stands were suddenly startled:

"What powerful flames! To think the Tiandan Saint had such a trick up his sleeve?"

"It's said his Alchemy skills are top-tier."

"But looking at this, his combat strength is also formidable. Even a Cultivator at the Soul Emergence Layer Six Realm wouldn't be able to withstand this Spell easily."

"The Taixuan Holy Son is in danger. His aura isn't strong; he's likely only at the Soul Emergence Layer One Realm."

"It looks like this match will be over quickly."

...On the Arena.

Facing the approaching sea of fire, Su Yun neither dodged nor avoided it, simply releasing a hundred-foot-long Blazing Sun Sword Qi with a casual wave.

That Blazing Sun Sword Qi seemed to slice through space, emitting a blindingly hot red-and-white spiritual light. It instantly dispersed the sea of fire and, with undiminished power, surged toward the Tiandan Saint.

"What? This..."

Before the Tiandan Saint could even react, he was struck by the red-and-white spiritual light accompanying the Blazing Sun Sword Qi. His powerful Physical Body offered no resistance, and he was instantly severely wounded.

Immediately after, he was sent flying by the residual spiritual power, falling off the Arena and losing consciousness.

The Blazing Sun Sword Qi did not strike the Tiandan Saint directly; instead, it hit the floor of the Arena and exploded.

A deep red crater several thousand feet wide instantly appeared on the Arena floor, with countless cracks spreading to its edges.

The Cultivators from the Cultivation Families watching from the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Meanwhile, Su Yun began to examine the life scripts of the nearby Cultivators from the Cultivation Families and discovered something amiss.
