NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18. Yun Jin, How Did You Become Like This?
“Here it comes!” Yun Jin gave a deliberate warning as she loosely thrust her sword forward.
Chen Hao didn’t even plan to dodge.
He was pondering.
What pose would look cool enough?
After all, defeating Yun Jin was simple; the challenge was to do it stylishly!
A faint smile curved Chen Hao’s lips as he casually waved his sleeve in an elegant motion.
With this wave, Chen Hao could almost see Yun Jin being thrown back pathetically. Inwardly delighted, he struggled to maintain a calm facade outwardly.
However, the next moment.
Puff.
A faint shattering sound rang out.
The spiritual energy shield he had casually deployed instantly shattered.
Chen Hao’s pupils suddenly constricted.
He instinctively retreated.
But.
It was too late.
Yun Jin’s sword was already before him. As Chen Hao tried to dodge, dancing lotus petals suddenly appeared before his eyes.
In his daze, sword light flashed, and Chen Hao was violently thrown back, crashing heavily into a corner of the arena.
“Senior Brother Chen, are you alright? This is my first time using a sword. Did I not control my strength properly?” Yun Jin looked innocent.
The entire arena fell unnaturally quiet.
Everyone stared at the stage in disbelief, unable to react for a long time.
Except for Yue Zhao.
Yue Zhao immediately turned to instruct Yu Songnian: “Third Junior Brother, quickly notify the bookmakers to stop taking bets.”
Yu Songnian responded steadily and promptly vanished.
After a brief silence, the arena erupted in chaotic noise.
Some cunning individuals immediately tried to place bets on Yun Jin.
Unfortunately, Yue Zhao had reacted faster, and they were a step too late.
Those who had bet heavily on Chen Hao felt uneasy.
No way, right?
Could a veteran disciple at the peak of Qi Condensation really be defeated by a newcomer?
Wasn’t Ye Danxia, the Celestial Spirit Root, supposed to be the most talented of this batch?
Even she couldn’t accomplish something like this, right?
“This new disciple… she’s at the eighth level of Qi Condensation,” a terrified voice rang out from below.
Yun Jin had used spiritual energy in that sword strike, and some attentive disciples immediately sensed it.
Three days since joining.
From a mortal to the eighth level of Qi Condensation?
This was insane!
Either she was mad, or they were.
“Little Junior Sister, what’s going on with this Yun Jin?” Several disciples turned to Ye Danxia, as she seemed to be familiar with Yun Jin.
Ye Danxia was bewildered: “I… I don’t know either!”
“Don’t panic! Senior Brother Chen can still stand up. He hasn’t lost yet!”
Everyone looked back at the stage.
Indeed, Chen Hao was resilient. He propped himself up and struggled to his feet.
“Yun Jin!” Chen Hao’s expression was cold. “I admit, I underestimated you! But now I’m serious. I declare, this is where you stop!”
He tapped his storage bag, and a disc-shaped spirit tool immediately floated before him.
Chen Hao snorted coldly: “Go!”
The disc shot directly towards Yun Jin’s dantian!
A ferocious expression spread across Chen Hao’s face.
This disc had cost him a fortune.
Yun Jin being at the eighth level of Qi Condensation was unexpected, but so what? At the Qi Condensation level, his disc spirit tool was invincible!
He didn’t know why Yun Jin had cultivated so quickly.
But he had made up his mind.
This time, he would cripple this woman on the arena.
As long as he destroyed her dantian, no matter her circumstances, she would never be able to cultivate again!
This time.
Chen Hao held nothing back, unleashing full power from the start.
“This Chen Hao intends to be ruthless!” Below the stage, Yue Zhao’s expression changed. A talisman appeared in his hand as he thought that even if it meant breaking the rules, he would save Little Junior Sister if she truly couldn’t handle it!
“This disc spirit tool is indeed impressive, but it might not work on Little Junior Sister,” Si Wanning’s expression was uncertain.
She wasn’t sure if she had seen correctly.
Yun Jin’s lightning-fast sword strike just now…
It looked like the Lotus Sword Technique?
Moreover.
It didn’t seem like a beginner’s level, but rather as if she had practiced for years, shockingly proficient.
But.
Little Junior Sister’s only exposure to the Lotus Sword Technique was watching her practice, right?
Had she learned it on her own just by watching?
Was that even possible??!
Si Wanning herself couldn’t believe it. Even though she had seen it with her own eyes, she dared not assert it conclusively.
Yue Zhao’s expression also flickered slightly.
“This spirit tool is quite nice,” Yun Jin looked at the oncoming spirit tool, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, though her lips bore a faint smile.
She raised her hand.
Sword light flashed again.
Chen Hao sneered: “You think my spirit tool is so easily dealt with? It’s…”
Chen Hao’s words suddenly caught in his throat before he could finish.
A crisp collision sound rang out.
Clang.
The formidable spirit tool was directly knocked down by Yun Jin, rendered immobile.
Chen Hao’s eyes immediately widened like copper bells.
What the…
Was this some kind of sorcery?
No!
There was something wrong with this woman’s sword technique!
Her swordplay seemed casual but actually concealed true intent, apparently from some genuine secret manual!
So.
In three days since joining.
She had not only reached the eighth level of Qi Condensation but also learned a secret sword technique?
Was that even possible?!
Yun Jin smiled, slowly walking towards Chen Hao: “Senior Brother Chen, you seemed to want to destroy my dantian just now?”
Looking at this smiling woman, Chen Hao felt an extreme sense of fear rise in his heart.
He trembled as he spoke: “I…”
Yun Jin chuckled lightly: “A real man owns up to his actions.”
Fear flashed in Chen Hao’s eyes. Seeing Yun Jin raise her sword, he could no longer bear this terror and shouted: “I surr—”
However.
Before he could finish saying “surrender.”
A sharp pain shot through his dantian.
Chen Hao fearfully looked down.
A sword light had pierced straight through his dantian.
“…render,” Chen Hao painfully uttered the word, then collapsed on the arena.
Yun Jin smiled slightly: “Surrender? Sorry, Senior Brother, you spoke too late. I only just heard you.”
Chen Hao’s lips trembled, unable to speak for a long while.
His face was deathly pale.
He had lost.
Not only lost, but his dantian had also been destroyed.
His path of immortal cultivation ended here.
“Senior Brother, the Foundation Establishment Pills,” Yun Jin walked over, looking down at him.
She was still smiling lightly, but to Chen Hao, she looked like a demon.
Chen Hao, terrified, tremblingly handed over a porcelain bottle.
Yun Jin took it, her smile radiant: “We’re even now.”
She was about to leave the stage.
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.
Ye Danxia looked at Yun Jin in shock: “Little Jin, when did you become this kind of person?”
Yun Jin turned, looking at Ye Danxia with interest.
This duel.
Due to the large number of spectators.
She had gained 5,000 emotional value points in one go.
Among them were several records of one or two hundred points, clearly contributed by Ye Danxia.
Considering Ye Danxia’s significant contribution to her emotional value, Yun Jin was willing to listen to some of her nonsense.
After all.
As she kept talking, more emotional value might be credited.
“Little Jin! How could you be so ruthless? I can’t watch you continue down this wrong path! Here’s what you should do: apologize to Senior Brother Chen and return the Foundation Establishment Pills to him!” Ye Danxia said self-righteously.
