Unrivaled Medicine God

  No matter how monstrous that Tang Yu-er was, she would most likely need five years, right?

  Chapter 254. There Would Be No Stories Without Coincidences |

  Ye Yuan nodded inwardly and remembered Luo Chengfeng's and Tang Yu-er's names.

  For Jiang Yunhe to be so serious about this matter, these two people were definitely peak existences in the Heaven Barracks. Their combat power was likely no longer beneath Crystal Formation Realm experts.

  The sect grand competition was not a deathmatch. Ye Yuan naturally could not use all of his trump cards.

  Although his trumps cards were powerful, once they were unleashed, even he had difficulty controlling them.

  A move like Thousand Flowing Petals, once unleashed, would be to the death. It was truly very monstrous for a Spirit Condensation Realm to be able to mobilize Heaven & Earth essence energy. But once the move took form, he was also unable to control the power.

  As for the Tier 4 essence fire, once he released it, it would even instantly burn the other party into nothingness.

  While Ye Yuan refined the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, it was still clearly extremely forceful for him to want to control the might of a Tier 4 essence fire at present.

  This way, the means Ye Yuan could threaten a late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm with was greatly reduced.

  Luckily, Ye Yuan's present Spirit Void Shattering Space, First Level, was already trained to the Great Circle Realm. His speed was already not beneath a late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.

  Coupled with the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's Mortal Chapter's Second Skill, Essence Energy Ignition, he also had the capital to fight.

  As for win or lose, even he himself dare not guarantee anything. When the time came, it would have to depend on his live performance.

  "Who is the last person?" Ye Yuan asked.

  Jiang Yunhe revealed a grave face and said, "You have to be careful of this last person. His name is Tian Yu, Grand Elder Skymaple's grandson. Among the core disciples, he is publicly acknowledged to be the most talented person!"

  Ye Yuan became interested when he heard that and asked, "Oh? What amazing aspects does this Tian Yu have?"

  "Tian Yu had abnormally high powers of comprehension since young. Like you, he also made it past the Nine Heavens Road! Although he did not pass the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm like you, he had only broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm not long before! Three years ago when he passed the Nine Heavens Road, he was only First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Now that three years have passed, he's already a half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert! Barring no accidents, he would surely advance to elite disciple this time. If you encounter him, you must be careful!"

  In Jiang Yunhe's heart, his appraisal of Tian Yu was clearly extremely high.

  If Ye Yuan had not appeared, then Tian Yu would be the number one person among the young generation in Jiang Yunhe's heart.

  Putting Ye Yuan aside, a cultivation speed of three minor realms a year was indeed sufficiently outrageous! Furthermore, he even took the crucial step to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm; half-step Crystal Formation!

  In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the earlier one passed the Nine Heavens Road, the greater the potential it signified. Mo Yuntian and Xin Lie were the same.

  And those who cleared the Nine Heavens Road all had extremely formidable combat strength. They could basically sweep across all martial artists of the same level!

  For Tian Yu to be able to clear the Nine Heavens Road at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, it could be seen just how monstrous he was.

  "Many thanks for Dean Jiang's tips," Ye Yuan said.

  Seeing off Jiang Yunhe, Ye Yuan did not choose to enter a closed-seclusion. Instead, he took a leisurely stroll around the sect.

  A great battle was nigh. Embracing Buddha's feet to pray for help at the last minute was clearly useless. Might as well relax and adjust his state of mind.

  . . . . . .

  The second day, the curtains for the sect grand competition was finally drawn back!

  Victory Peak, the battle arena for the sect grand competition. Many platforms were set up on it.

  At the present moment, thousands of disciples were gathered at the peak. These disciples were all the future hope of the sect!

  These thousands of disciples were all selected very carefully from the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations, all earth-shaking existences when placed in the secular world.

  But the vast majority of them could only become an outer-sect disciple and fade into the masses in the sect.

  The number of core disciples was 200 people while the number of elite disciples was only a scanty few 20 people!

  Elite disciples', core disciples', and outer-sect disciples' competition sites were separated. And the one that was the focus of all was undoubtedly the elite disciples' area.

  These 20 people represented the highest level among the younger generation. Regardless of whether they were core disciples or outer-sect disciples, they obviously would not miss out on watching their matches, hoping to comprehend something from within.

  However, the grand competition was carried out at the same time. Only by finishing one's match in advance could one have the time to go watch other people's match.

  It was very clear that due to there being too many outer-sect disciples, the arrangement of their schedule was the tightest.

  "Ye Yuan, what number did you draw? Do you know who you're facing in your first match?" Nanfeng Ruoqing asked.

  The Pill Hall had a competition too. But the duration was much longer than the Martial Hall's. Hence, the Nanfeng aunt and niece came to cheer Ye Yuan on.

  "I drew No. 52. But my opponent for the first match isn't fixed yet," Ye Yuan said.

  He did not care who his opponent was. He would rather it was Tian Yu. Ye Yuan truly looked down on ordinary Seventh or Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.

  "Uh, that's to say your opponent is No. 149. I wonder who No. 149 is?" Nanfeng Zhirou said.

  The core disciple numbers were fixed at 200 people. The disciples would draw lots to determine the opponent.

  After drawing lots, No. 1 would fight No. 200. No. 2 would fight No. 199, so on and so forth.

  Ye Yuan drew No. 52. His opponent was naturally No. 149.

  Of course, in order to not let the strongest core disciples meet in advance which would greatly deplete the later matches adversely, the top 10 in the previous competition automatically became seeded contestant.

  The strength of these ten people's opponents was relatively weak. There was basically nothing to watch at the start. Their opponents would basically admit defeat right after coming up.

  However, special circumstances had naturally occurred in the past competitions before. Such as the rank 11th disciple being unfortunate enough to draw a number after No. 190. Then the first match would be exciting.

  But relatively speaking, such a situation was extremely rare.

  Ye Yuan drew No. 52. The chances of matching with a strong person were not great.

  "Screw it. Deal with it when it comes. Long Tang, what number did you draw?" Ye Yuan asked Long Tang who was beside him.

  When fighting, core disciples were not divided by Heaven or Earth Barracks.

  "No. 170," Long Tang said.

  "Oh? Like that huh. Against No. 31? It feels like a strong person!" Ye Yuan said.

  Long Tang replied nonchalantly, "Doesn't matter. Deal with it when it comes."

  "Haha! That's good then! With your strength, charging into the top 50 shouldn't be any problem!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.

  "I hope so!"

  Long Tang was also someone who made it past the Nine Heavens Road. It could be seen how great his perception was.

  This one to two months, Long Tang improved extremely quickly. It was just that he did not have the chance to display it.

  Ye Yuan believed that before long, he would surely stand out c
onspicuously!

  "All disciples listen up. The sect grand competition is about to begin. Quickly find your platforms according to your numbers!" a Martial Hall elder mustered up essence energy to shout loudly.

  Ye Yuan and Long Tang's eyes met when they heard that and smiled. They each went to their platform.

  Ye Yuan was No. 52, which was also at platform No. 52.

  When he arrived at his platform, the No. 149 disciple was already there early.

  When Ye Yuan saw the other party, he was involuntarily stunned.

  There would really be no stories without coincidences!

  Chapter 255. No. 52 |

  Ceng Yu looked at Ye Yuan who was opposite with a green face.

  He never imagined that he would encounter this ominous star in the first round.

  After Ceng Cheng returned last time, he warned him to absolutely never provoke Ye Yuan again!

  You got to be kidding. A newbie disciple with over a million points on him. Who knew what kind of terrifying background he had?

  Even ordinary elders did not have so many points, but it was on a Spirit Condensation Realm disciple. This was too peculiar.

  Listening to his elder brother's words, Ceng Yu also knew that Ye Yuan was not someone he could afford to offend.

  It was just that he never expected he would bump into Ye Yuan so coincidentally in the first round.

  "The sect's grand competition begins now!"

  The Martial Hall elder's voice resounded once more. The grand competition officially began.

  Fierce fighting sounds rose one after another, instantly enveloping the entire arena. However, some platforms were silent, such as platform No. 52.

  Ye Yuan did move. Neither did Ceng Yu.

  Ceng Yu was no fool. Ye Yuan could defeat him at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, let alone now that he was already Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.

  "I concede!" Without much hesitation, Ceng Yu admitted defeat very decisively.

  "Platform No. 52, No. 52 wins," the elder's voice sounded out again.

  Every platform had an array installed. The elder could understand the activity on the platforms at the first moment through the array center.

  The elder's voice was slightly hesitant. He clearly did not think that the first to win would actually be the unknown No. 52.

  Normally, the first platform to win would either be No. 1 or No. 2, because the difference between both parties was too great.

  However, the sect grand competition was also hard to come by chance to temper one's self. To be able to seek guidance from the number one or two ranked core disciple was something that other disciples wished for. Remarkably few people would concede.

  Ceng Yu admitting defeat directly also resulted in Ye Yuan become the first to win among the 100 platforms.

  "Who is on platform No. 52? The opponent didn't purposely give up, right?"

  "Yeah! In the past grand competitions, it's basically always No. 1 who wins first. The gap between Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu's strength and ours is too far! What the hell is with this No. 52 who popped out this time?"

  "Who knows! Logically speaking, other than those few sickos in the top 10, the disparity in strength for those behind would not be too ridiculous. Even if they lose, it's impossible to be faster than Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, right?"

  "Who cares? After this first round is over, we'll naturally know which deity is this No. 52."

  The worst of the Heaven Barracks' rank one was quasi-elite disciple strength. They were existences like cranes among chickens among the core disciples.

  Hence, every grand competition, it was basically always No. 1 who won first.

  But a little hiccup happened right from the start today. An unknown No. 52 was the first to win. This attracted quite a few curious eyes.

  Although winning first did not mean anything, this sort of hiccup that subverted the past could still add conversational topics for the grand competition.

  The disciples started the competition directly after drawing lots, so apart from the first ten who were predetermined, others did not know who had which number.

  Platform No. 1, Tian Yu was just about to attack when he heard the elder's voice. His heart involuntarily jolted.

  I heard that two core disciples who made it through the Nine Heavens Road were brought over recently. One of them succeeded in clearing the challenge with Essence Qi Realm cultivation! Could it be that this No. 52 is one of them? Tian Yu thought to himself.

  Those who cleared the Nine Heavens Road all knew that one could obtain enormous rewards from there!

  To challenge the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm, the difficulty was far beyond imagination!

  Even Tian Yu himself only dared to challenge it after reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm.

  Without question, Ye Yuan's emergence gave Tian Yu intangible pressure.

  Now that such a peculiar situation occurred in the grand competition, it really stirred Tian Yu's curiosity.

  Tian Yu looked at his opponent opposite him and said coolly, "Sorry, let's end like this!"

  Finishing, only to see a streak of sword beam flashed over. His opponent flew out.

  The No. 200 drawn today was not mediocre. He could not help that the disparity between him and Tian Yu was too great!

  He did not even get a clear look at how Tian Yu attacked just now as if he did not even move before!

  Such strength was too terrifying!

  No. 200 struggled to his feet and said respectfully, "Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu showing mercy. I lost!"

  Tian Yu nodded and walked down the platform. Such an opponent simply could not draw his interest.

  If he were willing, that move just now would have already killed the other party. However, this was the sect grand competition. The other party was only slightly injured.

  Within the Spirit Condensation Realm, Tian Yu was virtually invincible!

  His opponents had never been Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists. Only those people among the elite disciples were his rivals.

  And in the not too distant future, he would also trample those people underfoot.

  However, that youth who challenged the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm still made him garner some curiosity.

  Although he did not think that the other party was stronger than him, he could not deny that the other party should not be inferior to him!

  In reality, Tian Yu was also prepared to challenge the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm. But at that time, he did not feel very confident, so he gave up.

  The other party being able to clear the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm at best only meant that his luck was slightly better than his.

  He heard that the State of Qin youth called Ye Yuan was forced to enter the Nine Heavens Road. He must have stimulated his potential in a hopeless situation before he could successfully clear it.

  Tian Yu strolled leisurely to the center of the array formation. He came to find the elder hosting the array formation.

  "It has been tough on you, Elder Feng," Tian Yu gave a bow and said.

  "Oh, it's Tian Yu. How is it tough to serve the sect? Hur hur, you came to ask about that No. 52, right?" Elder Feng said with a chortle.

  Tian Yu did not conceal it and nodded slightly.

  "I thought that you wouldn't pay attention to this sort of minor matter. After all, it's only a matter of moments if you want to beat your opponent."

  Tian Yu smiled and said, "I only want to confirm something."

  Ye Yuan and Long Tang passed the Nine Heavens Road. While it was not considered confidential information, reports from the secular world dojos were generally straight to the top.

  Ordinary elders did not know nor were they interested in knowing this kind of stuff.

  Tian Yu was the grand elder's grandson. His identity was extraordinary. This bit of special privilege was naturally there. Elder Feng would not refuse to give him
this face either.

  He was just rather curious that this sort of small thing like No. 52 winning would actually draw Tian Yu's concern.

  The way Elder Feng saw it, Tian Yu should be going over to the elite disciples' platforms right now.

  The battle situation over there was very intense. It currently should not have ended yet.

  "No. 52 is called Ye Yuan, a newcomer core disciple. Speaking of which, it's kind of strange. This boy is actually only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm while his opponent is already at the peak Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, yet he actually conceded straight away."

  Elder Feng talked about the situation he understood from the array formation but did not notice that Tian Yu's expression became increasingly uglier.

  It was indeed this Ye Yuan! I didn't think that he broke through to middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm so quickly already! Looks like the benefits he obtained on the Nine Heavens Road was even more than me! As expected, I should have challenged it at the Essence Qi Realm! Tian Yu sighed quietly to himself.

  Chapter 256. Future Strongest Powerhouse |

  On the martial path, the earlier and the more Heavenly Daos comprehended, the greater one's future accomplishments would naturally be too.

  All the myriad cultivation methods under the heavens all matched a certain area of understanding towards Heavenly Dao.

  The Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was an extremely profound sword art. If he could have comprehended it at the Essence Qi Realm, Tian Yu's future accomplishments could possibly be even higher!

  It was exactly because Tian Yu felt the sword intent on the Nine Heavens Road that his cultivation, later on, became increasingly faster.

  Because the Heavenly Dao that he comprehended far exceeded his present realm. It allowed his cultivation speed to far surpass ordinary people.

  Of course, this kind of cultivation speed was not limitless. As the speed he comprehended Heavenly Dao decreases with time, and his realm and comprehension of Heavenly Dao gradually reached an equilibrium; his cultivation speed would naturally drop too.

  This was a definite result no matter how much more monstrous Tian Yu was.
