"Not good! Li Jun is going all out," Jiang Feng said worriedly.
He feared this kind of desperate move. If it continued like this, there would be no way to resolve it for them.
After all, it was plain for all to see that Li Jun was not Yun Lang's match to begin with.
With Zhao Wan'er no longer a distraction, it would be easy for Yun Lang to deal with him.
"Then... can he be Yun Lang's opponent?"
"Impossible," Jiang Feng shook his head.
He had already witnessed Yun Lang's strength. If he could be defeated that easily,
then he wouldn't have been the disciple who entered Snow Peak originally.
"Then... what should we do?"
The inner disciples panicked.
No one wanted to see a companion in danger, especially Li Jun, whom they all considered a good friend.
"There's nothing else we can do."
Jiang Feng sighed.
After all, this was a martial arts competition, and they had the right to compete. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"This..."
The inner disciples all looked towards the stage with solemn expressions.
On the stage.
Facing Yun Lang's relentless sword energy, Li Jun had no idea how to counter it.
With the slightest carelessness, he could be struck by the sword energy and inevitably die at the opponent's hands.
"Damn it!" Li Jun cursed.
He hadn't expected Yun Lang's strength to be even greater than yesterday.
And with no restraint from Zhao Wan'er, Yun Lang's attacks on Li Jun were even more life-threatening.
"Die!"
With a roar.
Yun Lang unleashed the Eight Desolations Sword Art, the only technique he could master, to its peak.
Boom!
Several streaks of sword energy struck Li Jun.
"Ah!"
Li Jun screamed and was sent flying backward.
"Careful!"
Seeing this, Jiang Feng leaped forward and caught Li Jun in mid-air.
However, the moment he touched Li Jun, he felt a powerful force.
"Ah!"
Even Jiang Feng dared not underestimate it, and he quickly increased his strength before landing steadily.
"How is he?"
The Wang family disciples rushed over to check.
Pfft!
Li Jun, who had been struck, spat out a mouthful of blood and was on the verge of death.
"It's alright, he's just severely injured, but his life is out of danger," Jiang Feng said with a frown.
He inwardly sighed at Yun Lang's formidable strength. He remembered that just a month ago, Yun Lang was a useless outer disciple.
Any disciple who had cultivated for a few years could have easily taught him a lesson.
But he never expected that now, even Li Jun was no match for him.
"This..."
The inner disciples gasped.
They looked at Yun Lang on the stage with confusion.
"The victor! Yun Lang..."
Elder Chen's face lit up with relief upon seeing this.
He had witnessed Yun Lang's growth firsthand. Seeing such a monstrous talent rise in Snow Peak, he was happy for the sect.
"Thank you," Yun Lang cupped his fists.
He directly descended from the martial arts stage, having won two matches so far.
He didn't need to concern himself with other matters.
Glancing back at Zhao Wan'er, who was standing beside Lin Ruoxue, he walked towards Lin Ruoxue.
"Master!"
"Very good, you haven't disappointed me."
"Big Brother!"
Zhao Wan'er exclaimed joyfully.
She ran straight to Yun Lang's side. The peak lords beside them, having witnessed Yun Lang's performance, immediately cast envious glances.
They knew that Yun Lang was once an insignificant outer disciple.
His sudden elevation to a direct disciple of Lin Ruoxue of Snow Peak had already shocked them.
Yet, Yun Lang had truly not disappointed Lin Ruoxue, with his strength leaping forward so rapidly.
"Master, this disciple takes his leave."
"Go, rest well. As for other matters, I will handle them."
"Yes!" Yun Lang cupped his fists.
He turned and left the scene with Zhao Wan'er.
It was clear that Yun Lang had achieved a great victory in this martial arts competition.
He had successfully secured the qualification to enter the secret realm.
Upon returning to Snow Peak.
Zhao Wan'er recounted everything that had happened.
After she was taken away by Li Jun and the others, she was confined to a dungeon.
Since she was needed to deal with Li Jun, no one had mistreated her physically, but she had been subjected to a lot of intimidation.
"I'm sorry, I've implicated you," Yun Lang said apologetically.
If it weren't for him, those people wouldn't have targeted Zhao Wan'er.
This showed the situation, and otherwise, there would have been real trouble.
"It's alright, Master saved me later. Master is so powerful," Zhao Wan'er praised.
Let alone initiating any conflict, those people had been so terrified upon seeing Lin Ruoxue that their legs had gone weak, and they didn't even have the chance to escape.
It was precisely because of this that she had directly defeated them.
"Of course, Master is the strongest among the five peak lords,"
Yun Lang explained.
If Yun Lang hadn't been so high-profile back then, Lin Ruoxue might not have noticed him.
After all, Lin Ruoxue hadn't intended to take any more disciples. She had only come to check things out that day out of curiosity.
Who knew she would discover such a monstrous talent in Yun Lang, and had no choice but to accept him.
"Then... are you going to leave again?" Zhao Wan'er inquired.
Her greatest concern was whether Yun Lang would leave the Taichu Sect.
As for other matters, they were of no consequence to her.
"Yes, I have to leave this time," Yun Lang nodded.
It was Lin Ruoxue's wish, and going to the secret realm, if he could return, would bring significant benefits for their future.
"This..." Zhao Wan'er said helplessly.
She had only been back for a few days, and now he was leaving again.
However, she knew that Yun Lang was very strong, and the greater his ability, the greater his sense of responsibility.
"It's alright, with Master here to accompany you, they won't dare to harm you."
"I... I'm not afraid of them," Zhao Wan'er explained.
Even if they took her away, she had no fear.
However, she just didn't want Yun Lang to leave her so soon.
After all, after bringing her to Snow Peak, Yun Lang had gone to the Monster Beast Mountain Range for training.
He had only been back for a few days, and then he had won the competition, and now going to the secret realm would take an unknown number of days.
"You..." Yun Lang hesitated.
Their eyes met, and Yun Lang instantly saw Zhao Wan'er's affection for him.
Ding!
[Adrenaline activity detected, kidneys strengthening.]
"No way!" Yun Lang exclaimed in surprise.
His breathing quickened, and Yun Lang quickly averted his gaze, afraid of causing trouble.
Just looking at a woman could trigger the system.
"You... what's wrong?" Zhao Wan'er asked, confused.
As if sensing Yun Lang's strangeness, she worried that he was injured from the recent competition and quickly leaned closer.
"N-nothing, I'm just a bit tired," Yun Lang quickly explained.
He was afraid that if she came any closer, it would cause him trouble.
"Is that so? Then... you should get some rest early."
