Even Tao Yunxiao, when he crossed the ten-step boundary just now, did not find it so easy. This was simply incomprehensible!
Could it be that the ten-step boundary this boy walked was different from others?
Both Tao Yunxiao and Lian Chengyu found it unbelievable.
However, they could not possibly go to the boundary that Yi Yun had just crossed to investigate, as they were already struggling to stand where they were.
Could it be that Yi Yun could achieve this because he possessed unparalleled courage?
This was truly unacceptable. Not far away, the eliminated candidates, especially the members of the Lian Clan's Warrior Reserve Camp, were all staring with wide eyes and slightly open mouths, as if they had swallowed an egg whole.
The invincible young master Lian Chengyu, whom they looked up to, was actually stepped on by Yi Yun!
Just a moment ago, Yi Yun was drenched in sweat and made a fool of himself under the immense pressure of the Roaring Sky Tiger. How could he suddenly be blessed by a deity and move forward without hesitation?
Moreover, how could a mere child have more courage than them?
They would never acknowledge Yi Yun's strength. How long had Yi Yun been practicing martial arts? His strength was not up to par. How could a twelve-year-old boy, who grew up in the mountains and had never seen the world, have extraordinary courage, strong will, and the bravery to face difficulties head-on?
"Is there something wrong with this assessment? Did Yi Yun this kid find a loophole!"
Lian Chengyu felt that only this explanation could make him accept it. However, seeing Zhang Tan nodding continuously, he knew that questioning it now would have no effect and would only make Zhang Tan look down on him.
What's going on!
Lian Chengyu was unwilling. He had already entered the ten-step range and was among the top performers, but he was overtaken by Yi Yun, the person he hated the most. Moreover, he did not even know where the problem lay.
At this moment, Tao Yunxiao regained his composure and hurried toward the beast horn.
The immense pressure from the Roaring Sky Tiger's beast horn made Tao Yunxiao realize that he could not get any closer to the horn, let alone touch it.
He now only hoped not to be outdone by Yi Yun.
However, Yi Yun's steps were too steady, far beyond what Tao Yunxiao could match.
In fact, if Yi Yun had not been controlling the purple crystal and absorbing energy from the Roaring Sky Tiger's horn while walking, his speed would have been even faster.
Since he broke through to the peak of the Qi Induction stage using the energy from the Roaring Sky Tiger's horn, the pressure from the horn only made Yi Yun feel comfortable.
This sensation was like his entire body, muscles, and internal organs being pounded by the pressure, which was indescribably wonderful.
Seeing that he was about to be overtaken by Yi Yun, Tao Yunxiao became desperate and walked toward the beast horn without any regard, trying to keep pressing down on Yi Yun.
Due to the rapid depletion of his physical strength, Tao Yunxiao soon became breathless, drenched in sweat, and was approaching his limit.
At this moment, he heard the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer!
Tao Yunxiao panicked.
He cannot be overtaken, he cannot be overtaken!
Tao Yunxiao shouted in his heart, each step feeling as if he was carrying a mountain.
However, no matter how hard Tao Yunxiao tried, he could not change the reality. He watched helplessly as Yi Yun, with his short legs, walked past him.
In comparison, Tao Yunxiao seemed to be moving in slow motion, which was quite ridiculous.
At this moment, as everyone was very close to the center of the beast horn, only a few steps away, Tao Yunxiao and Yi Yun were very close to each other. Tao Yunxiao looked at Yi Yun, and Yi Yun looked back at Tao Yunxiao.
The two stared at each other for a while, and Yi Yun gave a shy smile and greeted him, then walked past Tao Yunxiao.
Tao Yunxiao almost spat blood!
He was overtaken by someone whose strength was far inferior to his and who came from a small tribe, a lowly commoner!
Tao Yunxiao felt that his pride of fourteen years had been trampled, and he could not accept it!
Adding insult to injury, just as Tao Yunxiao's mind was in turmoil, the Roaring Sky Tiger's shadow in the sky let out a second roar!
"Roar!"
The killing intent, like a blood pool of hell, spread out in all directions. Tao Yunxiao's breath became unstable, and he was directly swept away by the killing intent!
He fell on his buttocks and rolled several times.
As for Lian Chengyu, he was directly thrown out over ten steps, falling outside the twenty-step range.
At the moment the Roaring Sky Tiger roared, Yi Yun felt the energy in his body instantly reach its limit.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
The sound of the eggshell breaking rang out again. Yi Yun's body was washed by a flood of energy, and every bit of flesh was refined by the energy, like a sudden enlightenment.
"Puff!"
Yi Yun took several steps back and spat out a mouthful of black blood!
This black blood was the impurities in Yi Yun's body. Each time he refined his body, he expelled the impurities, and his body became increasingly pure.
With a pure body, he had laid a solid foundation. When he eventually broke through to the Purple Blood stage, he would directly reach the peak of the early Purple Blood stage. Compared to ordinary Purple Blood warriors, his physical strength and the energy he could contain would be much greater!
"I didn't expect that this initial selection of the Divine Kingdom would become an opportunity for me. I used this to break through to the peak of the Qi Induction stage, and I am just one step away from the Purple Blood stage! Moreover, I am now filled with power, and I can't wait to cultivate!"
Yi Yun had already absorbed enough energy. At this point, continuing to move forward was not very meaningful.
Besides, he had already overtaken Tao Yunxiao and become the first place in this initial selection!
"Teacher, Yi Yun took first place." Lin Xintong only knew Yi Yun among this group of people. Plus, Yi Yun was related to her innate Yin Meridian, so she naturally hoped Yi Yun would win.
"A selection held at the grassroots level, just the initial selection, first place is first place, nothing special." Old Su pursed his lips, looking unconcerned, but Yi Yun's breakthrough under the immense pressure had surprised and amazed him.
If this was just a one-time occurrence, it would be nothing. However, if Yi Yun could repeatedly break through under immense pressure or in dangerous situations in the future, he would be terrifying.
"Unfortunately, truly unfortunate. If his bone structure were perfect, or even slightly less than perfect, he could be considered a true martial arts prodigy!"
Old Su shook his head in regret. He remembered the words Yi Yun had said during their first meeting, expressing his unwillingness to be ordinary. Just by the fact that a child could say such things, Yi Yun's courage would not be lacking.
However, this world always has regrets.
Lin Xintong had perfect bone structure and extremely high comprehension, and she was flawless in every aspect. Unfortunately, her innate Yin Meridian cut off her path in martial arts, and she was destined not to go further.
Yi Yun had a dragon-like pulse, no lack of courage or comprehension, and had great ambitions. However, his bone structure was not up to par, which became a fatal flaw for him!
[The mobile game "Wu Ji Tian Xia" had its final closed beta test yesterday, and the data was very impressive. 360 rated it S+. If everything goes well, the public test will be this version.
