C23

Back in the small courtyard.

Only in his own home did Ling Yun feel a moment of warmth and peace.

Looking at the proud smile on his parents' face, Lingyun felt that all his hard work was worth it.

After having a simple but warm dinner with his parents, Lingyun began another round of cultivation.

In the small courtyard, Lingyun sat cross-legged. In front of him, there were five top grade Thunder Stones slowly revolving around him.

Each and every one of these thunderstones came from the Gold Swallowing Thunder Lizard that was at the sixth level of the human-step or above. They contained an enormous amount of thunder attribute origin energy.

"My cultivation has already reached the peak of the fifth level of the Mortal Origin Stage. I will soon break through to the sixth level. When I break through to the sixth level, even if Ling Yu breaks through to the seventh level, I won't be afraid."

"Holy Lightning Crossing Disaster Spell, bind!"

Lingyun roared out in his heart, and the Saint Thunder Crossing Disaster Spell circulated. A terrifying suction force continuously emitted from his body, causing the five top quality thunder stones to disintegrate into strands of lightning elemental energy that floated into his body.

As time passed, an extremely tyrannical aura of lightning and thunder gradually radiated from Ling Yun's body. In fact, in the air around him, there were even tiny crackling sounds of lightning that resembled tiny electric dragons that were constantly being produced and annihilated.

"..."

Night gradually enveloped the land.

Deep into the night, Ling Yun sat cross-legged under the dim starlight.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Two substantial bolts of lightning shot out from his eyes and disappeared into the distance.

"The sixth level of the Mortal Origin Stage, success!"

With a thought from Ling Yun, a terrifying energy phenomenon appeared behind him. There were more than sixty images of Flood Dragons dancing wildly in the sky, giving off an imposing manner.

"There are still several hours until the start of tomorrow's competition. I've already mastered the first move of Raging Dragon Fist. Today, my goal is to master the second move."

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

"..."

In the dead of night, in the middle of the small courtyard, muffled sounds of fists piercing through the silence were heard one after another, slowly spreading in the darkness.

Fortunately, Ling Yun's family of three lived in a secluded courtyard, so no one would be alarmed.

"The first move of Raging Dragon Fist, Tremor of the River!"

The muscles on Ling Yun's arms were knotted like steel as his Qi and blood and lightning Yuan Yuan violently vibrated. Immediately, an arm-thick red dragon shadow was thrown out, before it exploded in the air with a loud bang, causing ripples of energy that reached an area of dozens of metres.

If not for the fact that Lingyun was deliberately controlling his power, this punch could have turned his courtyard into ruins.

All the martial skills and weapons related to dragons have a formidable power. Although the Raging Dragon Fist has only been imprinted with a dragon character, its power far surpasses that of any normal quasi-Earth Ranked Martial Technique. It's enough to increase the power of eight flood dragons to sixty-nine flood dragons, and can chase up to the peak of the seventh level of the Mortal Origin Stage.

"This is only the first move of the Raging Dragon Fist. When I master the second move too, the explosive power will be even stronger!"

"Heh, second movement of the Raging Dragon Fist, Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss."

"..."

Ling Yun's entire being fell into a frenzy as he trained. Unknowingly, an entire night had passed.

"..."

Ling Family's Martial Arts Practice Field.

In succession, the martial arts arena was already packed with watching members of the Ling Family. There were even people from the other families of Green Thunder City. They were all mixed in the crowd to watch the other preliminaries.

"That is the direct descendant genius of the Ling Prefecture. Today, this match has actually alarmed him."

"Look, even Ling Ge has come. I heard that he is one of the top three hottest contestants in this year's competition."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Little Princess!" Little Princess Ling Nanqin is here, is she interested in this competition? "

In the end, when Ling Nanqin arrived at the martial arts practice field, it brought the crowd's emotions to a small climax.

The atmosphere in the martial arts practice field was getting hotter and hotter.

"Ling Yu is here!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and Ling Yu, dressed in her glory attire, leaped onto the stage.

"Where's Ling Yun? Hurry up and accept your death! "

Ling Yu's expression was hideous, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Looking around the arena, she let out a furious roar.

However …

The surroundings became silent, but Ling Yun did not appear.

"Ling Yun! Come out here, are you scared? " Ling Yu roared again.

The training grounds fell into a deathly silence, but Ling Yun did not appear.

In the end, even the referee couldn't stand watching any longer. He loudly said, "Where is Ling Yun, why aren't you going on stage yet!"

Hm? Ling Yun really did not come, and everyone's eyes were filled with questions.

The most important, and also the most important, branch finals had begun, but Lingyun, as one of the protagonists, had disappeared without a trace.

"Where did Ling Yun go?"

"He can't really be afraid of Ling Yu, right?"

"I think Ling Yun is afraid. He destroyed Ling Yu's woman, Ling Yuying, and yesterday she said that she would take revenge on him during the finals. If he doesn't appear today, he might be afraid of Ling Yu's threats."

"Although Ling Yun is a powerful dark horse, he is still lacking when compared to Ling Yu, the top genius of the branch. After all, Ling Yu is not like Ling Ping or Ling Yuying, he is a true Mortal Origin Stage Stage Stage Stage Stage Level 7 expert."

"Hehe, I originally thought that Lingyun was someone, but I never thought that he was just a coward."

"How boring. He made us wait here early in the morning, but he admitted defeat. Pui!"

The referee was getting impatient from waiting. He looked at the sundial and said with a frown, "The finals are about to begin. If Lingyun does not appear, even if he gives up, I will wait for the time it takes to burn an incense stick."

With that, the referee sent someone to place a stick of incense on the center of the platform.

"Pipa!"

Everyone was staring at the thin piece of rosin in the middle of the arena. It was as if they could hear the sound of the rosin slowly burning.

Soon, only a small piece of the pine incense was left.

Just as the rosin was about to burn out, Ling Yu coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, does he think that if he hides and doesn't fight, I'll spare him? "I have to kill him. He can hide from the first day, but he can't hide from the fifteenth …"

"Who said I wanted to avoid battle?"

"I will definitely win this battle."

Suddenly, a clear and loud voice came from outside the crowd.

"Boom!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd. Then, the crowd automatically opened up a path, and a handsome youth wearing a clean green robe appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"He actually came!"

"Fuck, isn't he afraid of Ling Yu killing him?"

"Good boy, I misunderstood him. Just based on his appearance, he has the guts to accept the challenge!"

"Did you hear that? Ling Yun said that he will definitely win! "

"Although I don't know where his confidence came from, at least I admire his spirit."

Amidst the chaotic discussion, Ling Yun calmly walked onto the stage while facing Ling Yu's devouring gaze.

"Ling Yun!"

"You finally came to die."

Ling Yu's gaze was like a cold venomous snake, staring straight at Ling Yun, as an explosive sound came from her mouth.
