Chapter 18: The Loser Will Learn to Bark!:
“Qin Yuan, how could you do this to my brother? You’re worse than an animal—completely unhuman.”
“Exactly! You’re the Holy Son, yet you torment an outer disciple over something so trivial. You disgrace your title. Frankly, you should step down as the Holy Son.”
Lin Yun, rising to support Su Mengyao, assumed the role of a moral crusader. He stood tall, his posture righteous as he condemned Qin Yuan’s actions.
“Oh?” Qin Yuan’s gaze was laced with scorn as he looked down at Lin Yun.
The aura of his cultivation at the peak Heavenly Spirit Realm surged forth like a tidal wave. “Are you suggesting I should hand over my position to you?”
“Absolutely! I, Lin Yun, am far more deserving of the title. Giving it to you is like handing a precious cabbage to a pig. You’re unworthy of the position!” Lin Yun declared arrogantly, convinced that he was the rightful heir to the Holy Son title.
“Qin Yuan, do you dare to fight me? If you lose, will you publicly renounce your title and hand it over to me?” Lin Yun’s eyes were fixed on Qin Yuan, his desire for the title of Holy Son evident.
“And if you lose?” Qin Yuan asked calmly, not agreeing immediately.
“Lose? Me?” Lin Yun sneered, confident that defeat was impossible. However, he added, “If I lose, I’ll give you the Foundation Establishment Pill I obtained from the secret realm.”
“Foundation Pill?” Holy Lord Shen Nan’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. The Foundation Establishment Pill was a rare pill, capable of reshaping a cultivators’ body and enhancing their talents.
It was as valuable as jade and could only be found in ancient ruins or secret realms. The process to create such a pill was so demanding that it required the assistance of the power of heaven—power that only a Great Emperor could harness.
Even Shen Nan had never acquired such a pill in his long life. That Lin Yun had managed to obtain one was testimony to his extraordinary luck.
Qin Yuan knew well the benefits of the Foundation Establishment Pill. A slight smile played on his lips as he agreed to the duel without hesitation.
Seeing Qin Yuan agree, Lin Yun’s face lit up with joy. He eagerly anticipated the chance to avenge his previous defeat. But just as the match was about to commence, Shen Nan suddenly intervened.
“The sect competition is approaching. I suggest the two of you settle this during the competition.” Shen Nan proposed.
Upon hearing this, both Qin Yuan and Lin Yun had their own thoughts.
Qin Yuan knew Shen Nan’s true intentions—to humiliate him during the sect competition.
However, Qin Yuan was no longer the same person. He now possessed the body of a Chaos God and Demon, making it a simple task to defeat Lin Yun.
Lin Yun, understanding Shen Nan’s motive, nodded eagerly. He relished the thought of defeating Qin Yuan in front of a large audience.
Qin Yuan, glancing at Lin Yun, suddenly added, “In that case, let’s raise the stakes.”
“What do you propose?” Lin Yun asked eagerly.
“Whoever loses must bark like a dog in the arena..” Qin Yuan said nonchalantly.
Lin Yun, confident of his victory, didn’t hesitate. “Agreed!”
…
A few days later, the sect competition in the Heavenly Vault Holy Land began.
On the day of the competition, over seventy percent of the sect’s disciples gathered outside the sect square, engaged in lively discussions.
“Who do you think will win first place in this competition?”
“First place? I think Senior Brother Qi Yuanran is the strongest contender. He possesses the body of a Blazing Dragon—a dragon’s body! That kind of physique is incredibly powerful, capable of annihilating almost anyone in the same realm.”
“That may be true, but have you heard? Senior Brother Wang Yun has returned from outside the territory, and he’s also a formidable opponent. His brother, Wang Teng, was once the pride of our Holy Land. Rumor has it that Wang Yun reached the peak Heavenly Spirit Realm a year ago. He might have even broken through to the Golden Core Realm by now!”
“Wang Yun? Didn’t he lose to Fairy Liu before?”
“Who knows?”
As the disciples chattered, one of them mentioned, “Did you hear? Holy Son Qin Yuan is going to duel Lin Yun.”
“Really? If Qin Yuan loses, he’ll have to give up his title as Holy Son.”
This statement immediately caught the attention of the other disciples. “Are you serious? Is this true?”
“It’s true. I heard it from reliable sources.” The disciple whispered, as if he had inside information.
“This is huge news!” The others exclaimed in shock.
The news of the duel between Qin Yuan and Lin Yun spread like wildfire throughout the Heavenly Vault Holy Land.
From the peak masters to the handymen, everyone knew about it.
Originally, everyone had been eager to see who would take first place in the competition. But now, their focus shifted to the outcome of the duel between Qin Yuan and Lin Yun.
…
“The winner of this competition will be me.” Lin Yun declared confidently, basking in the discussions around him. He was fully prepared, convinced that there was no way he could lose to Qin Yuan.
“Brother Lin, you must teach Qin Yuan a lesson. He severely injured our Mengyao.” Yu Ying said, her voice filled with anger as she looked at Su Mengyao.
“Don’t worry. I’ll defeat Qin Yuan with just one hand.” Lin Yun boasted arrogantly, placing the burden of victory squarely on himself.
Soon, the competition began.
The sect competition in the Heavenly Vault Holy Land wasn’t just an ordinary competition; it determined the promotion of inner, outer, and handyman disciples. The competition was divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.
The Heaven Arena was reserved for battles between direct disciples. The Earth Arena was for inner disciples, the Xuan Arena for outer disciples, and the Huang Arena for servant disciples.
The rules were simple: if a handyman disciple won three consecutive battles in the Huang Arena, they could advance to the Earth Arena. The same applied to the other arenas. As long as a disciple was strong enough, they could climb the ranks and potentially become a direct or even an inner sect disciple.
With nearly one hundred thousand disciples participating, the majority were outer sect and handyman disciples.
The competition was fierce.
Within just a quarter of an hour, nearly 30,000 participants had already been eliminated, a testament to the brutal nature of the event.
