Chapter 43 : A Breakthrough!
Du Guyun’s sudden fall to the ground swiftly silenced the previously noisy atmosphere. Everyone was in a state of shock, unable to believe that the battle ended so abruptly. They had expected Du Guyun to at least put up a fight, but he crumbled instantly upon contact.
Even Yan Ruyu was taken aback by this outcome. She had expected Du Guyun, with his self-proclaimed confidence and ambition to replace Jiang Chen, to have some hidden strengths.
She went all out right from the start, only to find Du Guyun incredibly weak. Her initial thought was that he might have some unique abilities to withstand her attacks.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
“I thought he had something exceptional, but it turns out he’s just a clown!” scoffed Yan Ruyu, disappointed. “And he thought he could challenge the Holy Son? Such a delusional dream!” She huffed and left the arena, leaving Du Guyun, who was still out of consciousness, behind.
Nangong Xie, already harboring resentment, didn’t miss the opportunity to mock Du Guyun. The surrounding disciples also regained their senses and started pouring out disdainful comments.
“I knew this Du Guyun was just a clown!”
“Ah, I should have left earlier. I thought I’d witness an earth-shattering battle, but it was just a clown jumping around!”
“Who gave him the confidence to think he could replace the Holy Son?”
“So foolish and arrogant!”
“I thought he was a peerless prodigy making a grand entrance. Turns out, it’s just a clown’s debut. If this gets out, what will become of our Holy Land’s reputation? Good thing this happened within the Holy Land; otherwise, our face would have been lost!”

“Ding, host has successfully slacked off, achieving the Great Master Realm,” a cold notification tone sounded.
Jiang Chen, who had been basking in the sun, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of joy. It appeared the inner sect competition had come to an end.
Due to his intentional slacking, Jiang Chen had not kept abreast of the competition’s developments, but the event’s uproar was so immense that it echoed throughout the Primordial Holy Land, so he had a general idea of what transpired.
“Yan Ruyu, in the same realm, was actually able to instantly defeat Du Guyun. It seems Yan Ruyu went all out right from the start, not giving Du Guyun a chance to even activate his secret technique!” Jiang Chen surmised.
Post the primordial Yin-Yang Qi baptism, Yan Ruyu’s abilities had progressed leaps and bounds. Especially with the All Pleasure’s Sect’s most powerful secret technique, she ascended to the highest realm, mastering supreme divine arts.
The technique, primarily a soul-based technique, is incredibly powerful, second only to the Emperor Scripture. Without a sufficiently strong soul, one stands no chance against an All Pleasure Sect practitioner. Conversely, a powerful soul could significantly diminish an All Pleasure Sect disciple’s strength.
With the primordial Yin-Yang Qi’s baptism and Jiang Chen’s gift of the Nine Nether Soul Suppressing Seal to her, the combined might unleashed by Yan Ruyu would be unimaginable.
Unless one possesses a soul-protecting saint weapon or inherently possesses a mighty soul, even those several realms higher stand no chance against her. Unaware of Yan Ruyu’s transformation and lacking a soul-protecting saint weapon, Du Guyun, naturally, was overwhelmed and subdued.
“Since that’s the case, let’s break through,” Jiang Chen thought, accepting the reward. Being already close to the Great Master Realm, this reward would undoubtedly break him through into it, possibly even breaking through a few minor realms.
As his decision was made, a tremendous qi surged forth. Instantly, an unmatched aura erupted from Banished Immortal Peak, enveloping the entire Primordial Holy Land and drawing everyone’s attention.
Amidst their bewilderment, Elder Liu’s voice resonated throughout the land, “Congratulations are in order! The Holy Son has stepped into the Great Master Realm! A Great Master under twenty, a rarity through the ages!”
