361: Chapter 361 Ivy

King Blood Axe saw that it was about enough and said, "Stop."

Lin Yun retracted his Domain.

Wei Yuan's body relaxed, and he almost fell over.

He gasped for air, sweat from his forehead streaming down his cheeks.

He looked at Lin Yun, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"How do you feel now?" King Blood Axe asked.

Wei Yuan nodded repeatedly, his tone so excited it stuttered, "Strong! Too strong! Simply invincible! Is this... could this be the legendary Space Domain?"

After receiving an affirmative answer from Lin Yun, the dissatisfaction on Wei Yuan's face completely vanished, and he instantly transformed into a fanatical fanboy.

"Space Domain! It really is a Space Domain!"

He praised repeatedly, his voice loud, echoing throughout the waiting area.

"Sixth Order! To actually comprehend a Space Domain! Heavens!"

"Your name is Lin Yun? Right! Good name!"

"Do you know, you are too strong! Really too strong!"

"Having you take my place on the field is simply perfect."

"Your Domain can even rival a World Projection! We are saved for this tournament! There is hope! We no longer have to think about ending in a crushing defeat!"

Wei Yuan, now a fanboy, praised him non-stop.

"I originally thought we were going to be swept ten-to-zero this time."

"Seventh Order, World Projection, what do we have to fight that?"

"It's different now! With you here, we can at least hold out for a few rounds!"

His enthusiasm was high, and a stream of compliments kept pouring out.

This blunt flattery actually left Lin Yun somewhat amused and helpless.

He wasn't quite used to such an enthusiastic attitude.

"Alright, Wei Yuan, restrain yourself a bit."

A man with a sharp temperament nearby spoke up to dissuade him, causing the restless Wei Yuan to quiet down.

Immediately after, he took the initiative to step forward, greeted Lin Yun with a friendly cupped-fist salute, and proceeded to introduce everyone present one by one.

Only then did Lin Yun learn everyone's names. The man before him was the possessor of the Sword Origin Body, and his actual name was Jian Yuan.

"After my father found out I had the Sword Origin Body, he changed my name directly to Jian Yuan. So, my name is Jian Yuan."

Jian Yuan explained with a smile.

Lin Yun understood; so that was how it was.

And that peerlessly beautiful woman, surrounded by a faint chill, was Zhi Rou, who possessed the Ice Phoenix Divine Body.

Before this, Jian Yuan, Zhi Rou, and their group had already prepared for the worst.

From the moment they learned that Ai Wei of the Tianlang Empire was Seventh Order, everyone had been filled with tragic resolve, having long since foreseen the outcome of being crushed by the opponent and swept ten-to-zero.

Seventh Order against Sixth Order, World Projection against Domain; the gap was too large.

They had absolutely no chance of winning.

All they could do was try to exhaust the opponent, try to delay, and try to lose as gracefully as possible.

But now, Lin Yun had appeared.

Sixth Order Completion, Space Domain.

Able to contend with a World Projection.

With him here, the tournament had variables and hope.

The despair of everyone was swept away; light was rekindled in everyone's eyes, and their fighting spirit soared once more.

King Blood Axe and the other two exchanged a smile, their faces wearing calm expressions. They didn't make any further introductions, letting everyone get to know each other on their own.

The true trump card, revealed only on the tournament field, would be the most interesting.

...

On the tournament field, the host appeared.

He was a middle-aged man, tall and slender, wearing a black suit, his hair combed meticulously.

Standing on the circular platform in the center of the arena, his voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire stadium.

"Distinguished audience! Welcome to the live site of this year's Friendship Tournament between the Lingyuan Empire and the Tianlang Empire!"

As soon as his words fell, deafening cheers erupted from the audience stands.

Flags waved, and shouts rang through the sky.

"Lingyuan! Must win!"

"Tianlang! Must win!"

"Lingyuan! Must win!"

The host waited a few seconds, and when the cheering subsided slightly, he continued.

"Now, let us welcome the contestants from both sides to the stage!"

The passages on both sides of the arena opened simultaneously.

Ten figures walked out of each passage.

Twenty people walked toward the center of the arena at the same time.

Lin Yun walked in the sixth position of the Lingyuan Empire team.

In front were Jian Yuan, Zhi Rou, Wei Yuan, and two other geniuses.

He was lined up in the middle, inconspicuous and unostentatious.

But his gaze had already locked onto the first person of the opposing team.

That was a woman.

Tall and slender with exquisite curves, she wore a tight black combat suit that outlined a perfect figure.

She had long black hair, large waves, with the ends slightly curled.

On her head, two furry cat ears stood erect, black and pointed, twitching occasionally.

Behind her, a black cat tail swayed gently, flexible and elegant.

Her face was exquisite, her features three-dimensional, and there was a natural charm between her brows and eyes.

Cat ears and a cat tail, beautiful and charming.

She was Ai Wei.

A Genius who broke through to the Seventh Order before the age of one hundred, possessor of the Heavenly Spirit Body.

Lin Yun's gaze rested on her for a moment, then shifted away, scanning the other nine people.

Some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, some male, some female.

Their auras were all very strong; the weakest was at Sixth Order Completion.

But the most eye-catching one was still Ai Wei.

She walked at the very front of the team, her steps light, her tail swaying gently, and her whole person exuded a lazy yet dangerous aura.

Like an elegant cat, ready to unsheathe its claws at any moment.

...

In the stands.

Su Yingxue sat in the front row, her eyes fixed tightly on Ai Wei.

"What a beautiful cat-girl."

Her voice was filled with exclamation and excitement.

Qiao Feifei leaned over and followed suit: "It's true! Cat ears! A cat tail! So cute!"

Su Yingxue's gaze moved from Ai Wei's cat ears to her cat tail, and from her cat tail to her face.

"Husband will definitely be able to marry her and bring her home," Su Yingxue murmured.

Everyone nodded simultaneously.

Qian Ye sat to the side, and hearing their conversation, couldn't help but cover her forehead.

Here they go again.

This family, they've started again.

The tournament hasn't even started, and they've already set their sights on the opponent's strongest contestant.

Qian Ye glanced at Lu Shan beside her.

Lu Shan was staring at Ai Wei's cat tail, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Qian Ye sighed.

It's over; Shanshan has been completely assimilated too.

...

Lin Yun used the System to check the ten opponents.

Lines of information appeared before his eyes.

The contestants of the Tianlang Empire were the same as the Lingyuan Empire.

Those without a special Physique all had Heaven-grade Peak Martial Arts Talent.

Those with a special Physique also had Heaven-Grade Martial Arts Talent; although not Heaven-grade Peak, when combined with their Physique, they were even stronger than Heaven-grade Peak.

Lin Yun looked at them one by one, finally stopping on Ai Wei.

[Ai Wei]

[Beauty Rating: 100]

[Martial Arts Talent: Heaven-grade Peak]

[Special Physique: Heavenly Spirit Body]

[System Rating: Heaven-grade Peak+]

[Marriable]

Lin Yun understood in his heart.

The Tianlang Empire had four special Physiques, and the Lingyuan Empire, including him, had three special Physiques.

A total of seven contestants with special Physiques.

Among them, only Ai Wei's Martial Arts Talent was Heaven-grade Peak.

Such high Martial Arts Talent, combined with the extremely fast cultivation speed of the Heavenly Spirit Body, made her the only Seventh Order contestant in the Friendship Tournament in ten thousand years.
