The two disciples berated fiercely, impossibly infuriated. But Yue Yi who stood up upon the stage did not pay their shouting any heed but just stood there coldly with his good looking countenance, his gaze sweeping over everyone before he looked at Zhuge Yin standing among the crowd.
This, was the result that Zhuge Yin seeked to see.
“My humble name is Yue Yi, I ask for all of you to give me some pointers.” Yue Yi turned his gaze back, to clasp a hand over his fist in polite greeting.
The two youths who had been pushed off the stage by Yue Yi, immediately wanted to rush up to teach that pretty boy who didn’t know the rules a good lesson.
But as Yue Yi bent his back to offer his greeting, purple coloured spirit energy enveloped Yue Yi’s entire body!
Purple Spirit!
The Purple Spirit’s spirit glow was just absolutely blinding under the sun. The two disciples who had wanted to rush up onto the stage immediately froze in their tracks, not daring to take another single step forward.
Who would have ever thought that this youth from the Shadow Moon Palace who kept such a low profile would suddenly exhibit the powers of a Purple Spirit! ?
The Shadow Moon Palace did not stand out among the Twelve Palaces and most of the guests who came to the Pure Grace Palace this time were mostly only young youths. At their age, to be able to attain the level of the Purple Spirit, it would mean they possessed almost Heaven defying gift. Even for the Flame Demons Palace, among the youths they sent here, only Qiao Chu was the lone Purple Spirit.
It could very well be imagined, to someone at Yue Yi’s age, what the powers of a Purple Spirit really stood for!
Yue Yi straightened up his body to stand there, his face without the slightest trace of self absorbed pride nor flaunting pretentiously. He stood quietly upon the stage, to await the challenge of others.
The two disciples who had wanted to find trouble with him earlier slunk back into the shadows, not daring to make a sound. How could their puny little indigo spirits ever hope to vie to reign with a Purple Spirit? Wouldn’t that be asking for torment upon themselves! ?
“Yue Yi possesses great gift as expected. The powers of a Purple Spirit is rather rare.” The voice of Zhuge Yin rang out once again as he came walking out from within the crowd, laughing as he stared at Yue Yi up on the stage.
“Since no one is willing to go up and exchange some pointers with you, then I will have to practice a little together with Young Master Yue.” As he spoke, Zhuge Yin stamped off on his feet, to leap up as he flew right onto the stage!

Chapter 1696: “Wicked Intentions (4)”
Yue Yi looked at Zhuge Yin through narrowed eyes as he sneered inside his heart. [What a great show of modesty and reluctance. If he still could not see that Zhuge Yin had set him up for this, he must be a moron!]
But in order to seal up Zhuge Yin’s mouth, Yue Yi had no choice but to do it.
Below the stage, everyone had gathered around. The earlier battles had many of them think them dull and uninteresting but the current one was greatly different.
Yue Yi with his Purple Spirit powers against the Dragon Slayers Palace’s Young Lord, Zhuge Yin would definitely be a show not to be missed.
Yue Yi’s reputation was not widely known but it was different for Zhuge Yin. As the Young Lord of the Dragon Slayers Palace, the disciples from the other palaces would have heard of him before.
Zhuge Yin was not only the Dragon Slayers Palace’s Young Lord, he was always known to be the most powerful person among the Twelve Palaces’ younger generation in that year.
Before the last Battle of Deities was held when Qiao Chu and his companions had not yet exhibited their astounding powers, it could be said that Zhuge Yin had reigned over them all. No matter how mighty the Blood Fiend Palace and the Flame Demons Palace were, not a single one of their descendents could match up to Zhuge Yin’s prodigious gift. Zhuge Yin had then naturally become the Dragon Slayers Palace’s pride, revered by countless.
In that year, Zhuge Yin had only been sixteen when he broke through to attain the Purple Spirit, which could be said to have surpassed innumerable youths of his age. Now that six years had passed, his powers had only continued to grow and had not reduced!
The ruckus around the stage had immediately attracted the attention of Gu Xin Yan and Gu Xin Yan’s brows creased up as she stared at Zhuge Yin who was faced off with Yue Yi standing upon the stage. With her intelligence, she had naturally immediately realized that her highly distracted gaze earlier had brought this disaster upon Yue Yi.
The Shadow Moon Palace had never attracted much of people’s notice at all and if not for the attention she had focused on them earlier, why would Zhuge Ying bother to go pick a fight with the Shadow Moon Palace?
But now, Yue Yi had already been forced to go onto the stage and even if Gu Xin Yan wanted to say something to reverse the situation, there was already nothing much she could do. The arena stage would naturally have the arena’s rules and nobody could interfere with them. Even if she managed to rescue him off the stage, it would surely not end on a good note.
Afterall, with so many pairs of eyes on the arena stage, if Yue Yi backed down without a fight, then not only would he be completely humiliated, even the Shadow Moon Palace’s reputation would be trampled into the mud.
Gu Xin Yan secretly blamed herself for not being able to control her own emotions earlier, which had invite so much trouble for others.
Standing down below the battle platform, was the equally nervous Zi Jin. But when Zi Jin saw the purple coloured spirit glow upon Yue Yi’s body, that nervousness then abated slightly, her heart holding on to that one fortunate turn of events. Yue Yi had not reveal his powers before Zi Jin before this and she had had no idea what level Yue Yi’s powers had been at. But with his powers at the Purple Spirit level, it wouldn’t turn out to be all that bad or bring them too much trouble even though he had gone up onto the arena stage.
“Young Master Yue, please give me some pointers.” Zhuge Yin said as he clasped his hand over his fist. The words coming out from his mouth were extremely polite, but his slightly raised chin and that haughty demeanor of his betrayed the contempt he felt for Yue Yi.
Yue Yi cupped his hand over his fist in greeting, his eyes wary.
A corner of Zhuge Yin’s mouth lifted and at the same moment his hands came down, the purple coloured spirit glow around his body flared a more brilliant purple!
The Purple Spirit first stage!
Although the Purple Spirit first stage was just one level higher than people who have just broken through to the Purple Spirit, the difference with that one single level was equivalent to that between Heaven and earth!
After one stepped into the realm of the Purple Spirit, the advancement every single level brought them, was a unbridgeable chasm.
After everyone realized the true extent of Zhuge Yin’s powers, everything suddenly dawned upon them. No wonder Zhuge Yin had gone up onto the stage to challenge Yue Yi so confidently. It was because he held such high dominating power!
Volume 17
Chapter 1697: “Wicked Intentions (5)”
After Yue Yi saw Zhuge Yin’s real powers, he was still not the least bit surprised, but merely a kind of understanding. He had tried to probe out Zhuge Yin’s powers before but he had not been able to see it clearly. The only possibility for that to happen was that Zhuge Yin’s powers were above his own.
And Zhuge Yi had walked into the stage so highly naturally, and it had been after Yue Yi exhibited his powers. Such confidence already revealed enough information to him.
“Your powers and mine do not differ by all that much and I would think that this match would surely be rather interesting.” Zhuge Yin said with a smile.
This words must be an absolute joke!
A Purple Spirit in its infancy and a Purple Spirit at the first stage though looked to be rather similar, but in fact, the disparity between them was a chasm wider than that
between a Purple Spirit and an indigo spirit! And Zhuge Yin could still unabashedly claim their powers did not differ by much, that really was the biggest joke!
Zi Jin’s heart which had just barely calmed down a little immediately jumped up once again upon witnessing Zhuge Yin’s power!
With Yue Yi’s level of power, it was completely inadequate to take on Zhuge Yin. Zhuge Yin’s endless taunts earlier, with all the many words he said, were all just to force Yue Yi upon the arena stage, to give him a right and proper reason to deal Yue Yi a vicious blow!
“Looking forward to your advice.” Yue Yi sighed inwardly, but took up a guarded stance.
A sliver of viciousness came into the smile at the corners of Zhuge Yin’s lips as he morphed into a streak of light, flying at great speed to charge straight towards Yue Yi!
The higher one’s powers was, the faster they would be. With the power levels those youths below the stage possessed, their eyes were unable to keep up with the speed of a Purple Spirit at all. All they could see was at the instant the figure of Zhuge Yin turned into a streak of light, Yue Yi had moved as well. Up upon the stage before their eyes, they could no longer see clearly what was really happening, but just two purple coloured light streaks clashing against each other continuously!
The force erupting from the clash between Purple Spirits spilled over into the area surrounding the arena stage like rolling waves crashing upon the crowd.
Caught up within that intense battle, a group of youths could not hold themselves back but to cry out!
This was what they had been looking forward to. The might of the Purple Spirit!
The youths who could not even see the battle clearly broke into a raucous roar in excitement.
But within the sea of people, several people saw everything clearly with their eyes.
Rong Ruo stood at the back of the crowd, her gaze directed upon the arena stage. With her level of power, wanting to see through Zhuge Yin’s and Yue Yi’s speed wasn’t all that difficult, but the clearer she could see, the more her heart cringed with worry!
Upon the stage, Zhuge Yin was like teasing his prey, striking from all around at Yue Yi, bolts of spirit light shooting out from Zhuge Yin’s hands, landing hits upon Yue Yi’s body one after another. Those strikes imbued with spirit power looked fleeting and light but no matter where they hit, that heart rending pain was enough to knock one unconscious!
“What a cruel and malicious mind.” Rong Ruo whispered to herself through narrowed eyes, her eyes filling with a trace of rage.
Zhuge Yin’s method of attack was not unfamiliar to Rong Ruo. It was done by forcibly compressing one’s Purple Spirit into compacted force form and its attack did not look powerful. But the terrifying thing about that compressed spirit power was that it would not leave a single external trace upon one’s clothes or skin upon impact but its power had already instantly spread into the flesh and bones underneath at the point of contact.
It wouldn’t break the skin but its power was strong enough to break the bones under one’s skin, capable of rupturing a person’s internal organs, taking one’s life with having them suffer any damage externally!
Yue Yi kept on defending and although he tried very hard to dodge some of the attacks, the number of those bolts of spirit power landing upon his body were becoming more and more!
Volume 17
Chapter 1698: “Wicked Intentions (6)”
The bolts of spirit power striking Yue Yi’s body looked like they just brushed fleetingly upon him but as the colour gradually faded from Yue Yi’s face and as his movements grew more stiff, Rong Ruo became certain that Zhuge Yin’s attacks had caused Yue Yi highly severe internal injuries!
And Zhuge Yin seemed dead intent on slowly tormenting Yue Yi with his attacks striking only non vital areas, but in places that would cause his opponent intense pain.
Zhuge Yin admired the work he had wrecked upon Yue Yi in satisfaction as the pallor on his face began to look worse and worse. He suddenly moved himself in close to Yue Yi and executed a palm strike upon Yue Yi’s left shoulder blade!
A sharp crack was then heard.
Yue Yi’s shoulder blade immediately shattered. But from the outside, there wasn’t a single wound.
But that excruciating and heart wrenching pain caused Yue Yi to immediately be bathed in cold sweat in that instant, his pale white lips stiffened over tightly clenched teeth, the corners of his mouth trembling with unbearable pain.
“Kid, are you really such a tough nut? You’re really not uttered a single cry?” Zhuge Yin asked with a laugh as he looked at Yue Yi almost at the end of his tethers, pausing in his attacks for the moment.
Upon the arena stage, people could finally see the two figures clearly.
They did not know why Yue Yi suddenly looked so pale and his body seemed to be swaying a little whereas Zhuge Yin looked exactly just like he had before.
But none of them could see a single wound upon Yue Yi’s body so why did Yue Yi look like he had sustained heavy injuries?
“Is this enough?” Yue Yi asked as he clenched his jaws tight, not allowing himself to cry out from pain. He bit down on his teeth so hard his gums bled and a bloody taste filled up the inside of his mouth.
Zhuge Yin was not seeking to exchange pointers with him at all. His really intention was just to torment himself.
Yue Yi had come to understand Zhuge Yin’s motives but he did not know how he had offended Zhuge Yin to have brought such disaster to fall upon him.
Zhuge Yin gazed at Yue Yi for a long moment before a chill glint flashed sinisterly in his eyes. Zhuge Yin then said in feigned shock: “Is Young Master Yue looking down on me? Having just executed a few perfunctory moves and you’re already calling it quits? Don’t you think you’re belittling me too hastily? I am really sincere in sparring with Young Master Yue seriously here.”
Yue Yi’s brows creased up, his stare fixed straight upon Zhuge Yin.
All his internal organs had been stirred up to bunch together by Zhuge Yin’s bolts of spirit power and his shoulder blade shattered. If he did not force himself to remain standing with all his might, he would have collapsed to the ground and not be able to stand up anymore. And what made all of it even worse, was though he was already so severely injured, everyone all around him were not able to see it at all on the outside.
In the eyes of the youths below the stage, he would really be seen as one just like Zhuge Yin had claimed, who just wanted to get the matter over and done with halfheartedly!
Not knowing that just standing there was already taking every single ounce of strength he could muster!
“Zhuge Yin, you do you really want to do! ?” Yue Yi asked as the cold sweat dripped onto the ground from his clothes, wetting the ground around where he stood but no one noticed anything.
Zhuge Yin continued to laugh as he looked at Yue Yi. “Young Master Yue, there’s no need to get angry. I am merely hoping for you to perform well here today so you can answer to your grandfather properly when you return to the Shadow Moon Palace. You must know this. The glory that you gain, will not just be yours alone but it will surely affect the status you hold in Elder Yue’s heart, and….. that of your little sister’s I think…..”
Zhuge Yin’s eyes stared at Yue Yi like those of a venomous viper, his words pushing Yue Yi further into a place of eternal damnation!
His little sister…..
Was Yue Yi’s most critical and lethal vital point!
Yue Yi wished for nothing more than to be able to tear Zhuge Yin to a million pieces, but he had no choice but to endure that surge of hatred within him.
Volume 17
Chapter 1699: “Wicked Intentions (7)”
Yue Yi wished for nothing more than to be able to tear Zhuge Yin to a million pieces, but he had no choice but to endure that surge of hatred within him.
He could not allow Zhuge Yin to say a single word of what he was not supposed to say. Otherwise….. His little sister would be finished.
Once that matter was exposed, Elder Yue would definitely silence people, and kill his little sister.
“Then I will have to thank….. Young Lord Zhuge for his kind intentions…..” Yue Yi said after drawing a deep breath, and then slowly raising his head up, his sweat soaked hair plastered to the side of his face, outlining the handsome youthful face.
He suddenly lifted a trembling hand up, to exert a forceful strike upon his shattered shoulder blade!
He had actually summoned his spirit powers to forcibly severe the meridians and veins around his shoulder, which would finally bring him relief from that agonizing pain.
Such a firm and resolute method, caused even Zhuge Yin to be startled a while. Seeing the flash of burning resolve in Yue Yi’s light coloured eyes, Zhuge Yin suddenly broke into laughter.
“This should be the way. That’s how we should play it before the game can get more interesting.”
The crowd below the stage were completely unaware of what was happening between Zhuge Yin and Yue Yi. They were all only treating it as a sparring match that they were watching.
However, Rong Ruo standing at the back of crowd could no longer make herself stand there and watch on any further. She had seen the resolve and finality in Yue Yi’s eyes. A kind of calm when one threw all caution for his life to the winds. In just that one very single instant where no one was paying any attention to her, the figure of Rong Ruo shimmered, to quietly come to Fei Yan’s side.
Fei Yan was wrecking his brains on how he was supposed to resolve all of this when he suddenly saw Rong Ruo so close at his side, his face immediately contorting up in surprise.
“What’s happening here? Has Zhuge Yin gone mad? Why does he want to have that guy from the Shadow Moon Palace dead?” Rong Ruo asked in a whisper that could only be heard by the two of them.
Killing someone was merely having someone’s head fall to the ground. But Zhuge Yin was obviously wanting to torment Yue Yi slowly bit by bit to death.
