360: Chapter 360 Match Day

Tournament Day.

The streets of Lingyuan City were deserted as everyone rushed in the same direction.

The venue for the Friendship Tournament was the arena in the central district of Lingyuan City.

The arena was incredibly massive, circular in shape, and capable of holding a million spectators.

At this moment, there was not a single empty seat in the stands.

The crowd was bustling, and the noise was deafening.

Various banners fluttered above the stands, embroidered with the emblem of the Lingyuan Empire.

The spectators' faces flushed with excitement as they chanted slogans and waved their banners.

"Lingyuan! Victory!"

"Lingyuan! Victory!"

"Lingyuan! Victory!"

The cheers rose and fell in waves, deafening to the ears.

...

Backstage.

The Lingyuan Empire waiting area.

Lin Yun finally met the other contestants.

Ten geniuses stood in a row, each possessing an extraordinary bearing.

Some were tall and robust, some lean and capable, some gentle and elegant, and some cold as frost.

The most eye-catching among them were a man and a woman.

The man stood on the far left, about 1.9 meters tall, with a slender build and well-proportioned limbs.

His short black hair looked clean and sharp.

He had a handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

His entire being was like an unsheathed sword—sharp, fierce, and brimming with cutting edge.

From his aura, Lin Yun knew that this was the possessor of the Sword Origin Body.

The woman stood on the far right, about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure and exquisite curves.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn waters, skin as fair as snow, and lips as pink as cherry blossoms.

She exuded a cold aura, like an iceberg that kept everyone at a distance.

The possessor of the Ice Phoenix Divine Body.

Lin Yun subconsciously used the System to take a look.

A row of information appeared before his eyes.

[Appearance Rating: 100]

[Martial Arts Talent: Heaven-Grade Medium Grade]

[Special Physique: Ice Phoenix Divine Body]

[System Rating: Heaven-grade Peak+]

[Eligible for Marriage]

Lin Yun understood. Sure enough, this was the woman who possessed the Ice Phoenix Divine Body.

The ten geniuses were also sizing up Lin Yun.

They were curious. Why was an unrelated person here?

This was the waiting area for the contestants; it wasn't a place where just anyone could enter.

Jian Yuan frowned, looked at Lin Yun, and asked, "Who are you?"

Just as Lin Yun was about to answer, King Blood Axe and the other two walked in.

The ten geniuses bowed in unison.

"Greetings, King Blood Axe, King Feiyun, and Senior Ziyi."

King Blood Axe raised his hand to signal them to rise. Skipping any unnecessary pleasantries, he introduced him directly.

"This is Lin Yun. He will be fighting in place of Wei Yuan today."

As soon as he spoke, the entire room fell silent, and the ten geniuses looked completely dumbfounded.

Fighting in place of Wei Yuan?

He is a contestant?

Standing in the middle of the lineup, Wei Yuan's face instantly changed.

He, Wei Yuan, was at Sixth Order Completion, specialized in the fire element, possessed strong offensive power, but had relatively weak defense.

He was originally supposed to lead the charge and wear down Ai Wei.

To exhaust her as much as possible, as long as he could create opportunities for his teammates behind him.

He had been cultivating hard these past few days just for today.

And now, King Blood Axe was telling him that someone was going to replace him?

Wei Yuan looked at Lin Yun, feeling deeply unsatisfied.

Lin Yun's aura was the same as his—Sixth Order Completion.

Although he seemed strong, they were both at Sixth Order Completion. How much stronger could he possibly be?

Though he might be the weakest among them, he wasn't someone just anyone could replace.

Wei Yuan took a step forward, his tone laced with dissatisfaction: "Senior King Blood Axe, I object. We are both at Sixth Order Completion. Why should he be the one to replace me?"

King Blood Axe looked at him and spoke calmly.

"You object?"

"I do."

"Fine, then let us test it. Lin Yun, activate your Domain and let Wei Yuan try to withstand it."

"Bring it on!" Wei Yuan clenched his fists, a stubborn look on his face as he proactively took a defensive stance.

His tone carried a hint of defiance and provocation.

The other nine geniuses also watched this scene with curiosity.

They knew Wei Yuan's strength.

While he wasn't the strongest, he wasn't weak either.

Among the ten present, other than Jian Yuan and Zhi Rou, no one could confidently overpower Wei Yuan.

Lin Yun? An unknown nobody?

Could he really do it?

Could he also possess a special Physique?

Then why was he only showing up now?

Everyone's minds were filled with questions.

Lin Yun looked at Wei Yuan and asked, "Are you ready?"

Wei Yuan urged, "Hurry up."

Lin Yun said no more.

Space Domain, release.

The Void Realm trembled slightly as a vast Space Domain instantly enveloped Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan's body suddenly sank.

His eyes widened.

What kind of Domain is this?

So strong!

He unleashed his Fire Element Domain with all his might, attempting to resist.

But it was useless.

His Domain was compressed to the absolute limit.

It was like a thin membrane that could be torn apart at any moment.

Meanwhile, Wei Yuan's body was pinned down completely by the Space Domain.

He felt as if a massive mountain were weighing down on him.

His shoulders sank, his back bent, and his knees grew weak.

He gritted his teeth, veins bulging as he resisted with all his strength.

But the pressure only grew larger and heavier.

He felt his bones creaking, his muscles trembling, and his breathing becoming difficult.

How is this possible?

We are both at Sixth Order Completion, so how is he this strong?

What Domain is this?

Why does it feel like...

A thought flashed through Wei Yuan's mind.

Then, he was shocked.

Space?

Time?

Space Domain?

Time Domain?

Impossible!

How could a Sixth Rank Martial Artist comprehend the Space or Time Element?

But this aura, these fluctuations, this sense of oppression...

Wei Yuan's mind was in utter chaos; the immense pressure made it impossible for him to think straight.

He could only desperately resist with every ounce of his strength.

The other nine geniuses were already thoroughly shocked.

What were they witnessing?

They were actually seeing the power of space on a Sixth Rank Martial Artist.

That invisible fluctuation, that terrifying pressure, that absolute suppression of other Domains...

It was space.

It really was space.

Jian Yuan's pupils dilated.

He possessed the Sword Origin Body, with unparalleled offensive power, and considered himself invincible among his peers.

But at this moment, he felt the terror of Lin Yun's Space Domain.

That kind of oppression was not just Domain against Domain, but rather...

the crushing dominance of a higher-order element over a basic element.

Jian Yuan's heart rate accelerated.

If he were to fight Lin Yun, no matter how strong his Sword Origin Body or how high his offensive power, what use would it be if he couldn't land a hit?

Once the Space Domain was activated, his attacks would be warped, folded, and redirected.

He wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of Lin Yun's clothes.

And he wouldn't be able to block Lin Yun's attacks.

A flicker of shock also flashed through Zhi Rou's eyes.

Her Ice Phoenix Divine Body possessed extremely strong defense and astonishing recovery capabilities.

But in front of the Space Domain, her ice-attribute elements were pinned down completely.

She felt as if her own Domain was like paper in front of Lin Yun's Domain.

Utterly fragile.

The other geniuses fared even worse.

Some gaped with wide mouths, some stared with wide eyes, and some stood frozen on the spot.

In all their years of living, they had never seen such a Domain.

Space Domain.

Something that only existed in legends.

Today, they were witnessing it with their own eyes.

And on top of that, on a Sixth Rank Martial Artist.
