64: Chapter 64 In your lifetime, the fifth rank is your limit.

The Cultivation Technique Danbird Wings should be considered a Qinggong Evasion Technique with auxiliary effects.

After mastering this technique, one can govern their Qi to transform it into the wings of a Danbird.

It is as if two bird feathers generated from Qi manifest out of thin air behind one's back.

Using this, a Martial Artist can significantly increase their speed.

Furthermore, it allows their movements to exhibit unpredictable trajectories.

In fact, the Danbird Wings technique can even be combined with other Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques.

When combined with sword moves like the Nine Nether Azure Sword, which already has eerie footwork, opponents will certainly find it even harder to deal with.

For two days, Li Yuan cultivated peacefully in the cave.

Aside from several Instructors, many Disciples noticed his state.

However, they did not think Li Yuan was talented.

When the Secret Realm ended, they found a reasonable excuse.

That is, the position Li Yuan occupied had the weakest pressure in the entire cave.

Compared to others, the hardships and crises he had to face were much smaller.

As he left, Li Yuan heard the idle chatter of others.

Li Yuan himself wasn't quite sure if he had stayed in the place with the weakest pressure for two days.

Li Yuan had simply chosen a spot at random.

Those Eighth-Grade pressures all knew to avoid him.

It was actually somewhat troublesome if he wanted to experience them.

The Secret Realm training ended, and Li Yuan followed the crowd back to the Martial Arts Academy, then returned to the Yin Court alone.

Seeing Li Yuan return, Liang Duqiu and the others hurriedly gathered around.

Their brows were tightly furrowed, looking as if they had bad news to deliver.

They first asked about the situation in the Secret Realm training, and Li Yuan told them truthfully.

And he also gave them some advice.

The Senior Brothers present really should take a trip in there.

Under the Eighth-Grade pressure, it was very likely to stimulate their strength and allow them to take another step upward.

They weren't like him, having the help of a mystical ability like the Corpse Looting Technique.

An opportunity for Secret Realm training like this really shouldn't be missed.

Hearing Li Yuan's advice, Liang Duqiu gave a helpless smile.

How could they not know that the Secret Realm could bring benefits to themselves? It was just that Yin He was there.

After a moment of silence, Liang Duqiu began to speak about Li Yuan's situation.

"Instructor Yin He came by yesterday. He knows about you participating in the Secret Realm training on your own.

Junior Brother Li, you must have some expectations in your heart.

Don't look at how lazy Instructor Yin He is; he is actually very vengeful.

In order to teach someone a lesson, he is quite willing to spend energy..."

Li Yuan nodded, indicating he understood.

Whatever this Yin He wanted to do was fine; it wasn't as if he couldn't handle it.

Calming his mind, Li Yuan put his focus back onto his martial arts training.

For his usual cultivation and tempering, Li Yuan mainly cultivated the Tai Xuan Divine Art.

He would use the Tai Xuan Divine Art to convert all the martial Internal Energy he obtained.

The time and energy spent on this step were actually not much.

It was just that in the past few days, he had looted the corpses of two Ninth-Grade Supremes in succession.

He had obtained too much martial Internal Energy all at once and needed to Cultivate with a calm mind.

The second day after returning to the Yin Court was still peaceful.

On the morning of the third day, Senior Brother Liang Duqiu and the others found Li Yuan with nervous expressions.

"Junior Brother Li Yuan, hurry and go admit your mistake to Master.

The Yi-Class Grand Competition is not something people like us can go to. If your Foundation is injured, your path of cultivation for this lifetime will be ruined!"

Seeing them suddenly come looking for him, Li Yuan still couldn't figure out the situation.

What did this Yi-Class Grand Competition mean?

"Junior Brother Li Yuan, you don't know yet, do you? Instructor Yin He signed you up for the Yi-Class Grand Competition.

It's in four days, and he wants you to participate in the matches.

The Yi-Class Grand Competition is a contest for the academy Disciples to compete for the rankings from eleventh to twentieth.

To put it clearly, Junior Brother, you have to compete against the top twenty Disciples of the academy to see who is superior..."

There weren't many Disciples at Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, but there were nearly nine hundred.

Although the current academy Disciples all came by recommendation, they weren't all useless pretty boys.

Moreover, most major powers were quite strict with their descendants.

To be ranked in the top twenty of the academy, one's strength would definitely not be poor.

"Most of the fellow Disciples participating in the Yi-Class Grand Competition have the strength of the Sixth-Grade Initial Stage, and at the very least, they are at the Fifth-Grade Great Perfection.

Junior Brother, this Grand Competition cannot be joined; it's very easy to get injured up there."

While they were speaking, a figure walked into the entrance of the Yin Court.

Yin He had come again with those idle steps.

His face carried a bit of playfulness; he had come today specifically to see Li Yuan's reaction.

The people around saluted him, but Yin He ignored them.

He walked straight up to Li Yuan.

"You seem to think you are very capable.

Since you're so capable, then go and perform well in the Yi-Class Grand Competition."

As Yin He finished speaking, Liang Duqiu, who was to the side, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Master, please forgive him. Junior Brother Li Yuan is a newcomer and doesn't quite understand many of the rules.

The Yi-Class Grand Competition is somewhat dangerous, and injuries are inevitable..."

Before Liang Duqiu could finish his explanation, Yin He waved his hand.

A blast of Qi pushed him directly aside.

"It's not that he doesn't understand the rules; it's that he feels this Master has slighted him and failed to see his talent.

Since he had the courage to participate in the Secret Realm training, then what is there to fear about this Yi-Class Grand Competition?

If you think this Master's judgment is poor and that I've slighted you, then go and prove it.

The opportunity to prove yourself has been given to you; let's see just how poor this Master's judgment really is."

Yin He's words were full of mockery and playfulness.

This was what Liang Duqiu and the others had said before—he would definitely give Li Yuan a hard time.

His methods wouldn't be simple disparagement or suppression, or being stingy and strict in daily life.

When Yin He gave someone a hard time, he wanted to force you to beg him for mercy.

In the Yi-Class Grand Competition, if one's strength was not at that level, it was very easy to get injured inside.

If you didn't want to participate in this Grand Competition, then go beg Yin He.

Hearing this, Li Yuan was actually quite calm: "This Disciple has received the command and will definitely participate on time on the day of the Grand Competition."

This reply gave Liang Duqiu and the others a massive fright.

Yin He also seemed very surprised; he hadn't expected Li Yuan to speak like this.

After a moment of daze, Yin He laughed.

"Interesting, interesting. There are rarely young people as confident as you.

I can tell you very clearly that in this life, the Fifth Grade is your limit.

Let's see what kind of performance you can use to slap my face."

After saying that, Yin He turned and left the Yin Court.

He felt that today's matter was somewhat interesting.

In all these years, few young people had dared to go against him.

Yin He was extremely confident in his own judgment and his understanding of the martial Dao.

He felt that he had already seen through Li Yuan.

How much potential he had and how much talent he possessed were clear to him at first glance.

Next, he would just wait for the Yi-Class Grand Competition four days later.

Yin He wanted to watch this arrogant Disciple regret and suffer at the Yi-Class Grand Competition.

After giving him a sufficient lesson, the Disciples under his command would become honest in the future.

Only then would no one dare to casually disobey his arrangements.

Like this time, Li Yuan's private registration had caused him to be scolded by the Head of the Academy.
