Chapter 37- Three Dark Stars!

Chapter 37

         After taking some pills, Yan Jian felt better. He felt disappointed in himself. If he was unable to win his second battle, he would never be able to join the Elite court with Long feng and Li yu'er. He steeled his resolve to win his next battle no matter the odds. As he thought of this, he felt his dantian heat up slightly. His whole body became hot. Yan Jian ignored this change in his dantian and began to refill his inner energy.

       The battles went on as usual. Out of the first fifty battles, only twenty five people won their battles. The remaining twenty five all lost. After a one hour rest, the second fifty battles began.

Long feng was set to battle a rank nine connate cultivator. The person instantly conceded and admitted defeat without fighting. Li yu'er's opponent also admitted defeat without a fight.

Yan Jian was set against the fourth top inner court disciple, Gong wuque. And Gong wuque was a rank one Yin level cultivator! Yan Jian's chances of winning was less than one. Yan Jian was down hearted as he jumped into his battle stage and faced Gong wuque.

"He is a Yin level cultivator, so what? I will still defeat him. I can't lose this battle!" Yan Jian reassured himself.

Gong wuque attacked without saying a word. He appeared behind Yan Jian and thrust his palm. Yan Jian was unable to react on time and the palm crashed into his back. He was pushed a few feet away.

"Heavenly tyrant technique, tyrannic armor!" Tyrannic energy covered him again.

"Tyrant oppression!" He punched his fist at Gong wuque. Gong wuque dodged the fist and punched Yan Jian in his stomach. Yan Jian spat blood. His eyes were red, filled with decisiveness and unwillingness to admit defeat. The heat within his dantian increased. Yan Jian exploded with a more powerful aura and kicked out towards Gong wuque. Gong wuque still dodged the kick and a Yin level armament spear appeared in his grasp. He thrust the spear towards Yan Jian's chest. Yan Jian instinctively moved sideways, making the spear miss his chest. Still, the spear stabbed into Yan Jian's shoulder!

"Yan Jian!" Long feng was very worried.

      Yan Jian's face paled unbelievably. His aura began to recede. Yet, he refused to admit defeat.

"You aren't my match. Admit defeat and spare yourself the misery." Gong wuque said.

      That finally awakened what was brewing within Yan Jian's dantian.

"I am not your match?" Yan Jian asked coldly.

The temperature of the whole arena began to rise. Yan Jian's eyes became bright flame red. He felt unwilling to lose, unwilling to be left behind by his friends, Long feng and Li yu'er.

      A dormant supreme being seemed to be awakening within him. The martial power around him roared madly.

      Everyone was confused. Not even the elders could tell what was happening. Elder Zhang and Elder Bei's faces were etched with surprise as they saw what was happening.

"Is this...." Elder Bei muttered.

      Gong wuque frowned. He wanted to throw Yan Jian out of the battle stage and end the battle, when Yan Jian suddenly erupted with flames! Gong wuque was pushed backwards by the flames.

"What the....." Gong wuque was stunned.

       Yan Jian looked like the reincarnation of a flame god. His hair was flame red. His eyes were cold and expressionless. He looked stunning!

Using his flames, he shattered his limits and surpassed the connate boundary. He instantly broke through to rank one Yin level!

Elder Zhang and Elder Bei could not believe it!

"Bloodline awakening!" Elder Bei shouted.

This was something that you wouldn't see in a hundred years! Many disciples and elders also guessed that.

"This is the legendary Scorching Sun Bloodline! The fourth strongest bloodline in the entire continent!" Elder Zhang was full of disbelief. Was the heavens finally remembering their Mortal heaven sect? Three supreme talents have been found in the Mortal heaven sect! Li yu'er, Yan Jian, and the Heaven defying mysterious Long feng!

      Yan Jian glanced at Gong wuque coldly.

"I am not your match?" He asked again. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Gong wuque. The crowd gasped.

Yan Jian's strength and speed was comparable to a rank two Yin level cultivator!

      Gong wuque was about to turn and attack Yan Jian, when Yan Jian punched him in his stomach. Gong wuque felt his organs shake.

Yan Jian slammed his palm into Gong wuque's chest and Gong wuque felt his head spinning. He spat out a mouthful of blood and went on his knees. Yan Jian then smashed his knee against his jaw. Gong wuque's jaw and cheek bone shattered to fragments. His eyes rolled and he fainted.

     The whole arena experienced yet another deathly silence as the unconscious Gong wuque was being taken out of the stage.

      The flames around Yan Jian finally receded into his dantian. Still, Yan Jian had become a rank two Yin level cultivator with combat power on par with rank two Yin level cultivators! That was mind blowing. Yan Jian walked down the stage with a smile on his face. Although he felt very exhausted, he couldn't conceal his excitement.

    Long feng grasped shoulder, feeling happy for him, while Li yu'er merely nodded at him.

Currently, the entire inner court was in chaos. No one was still stupid enough to believe that Jio yu would easily become the first in this competition. He might not even become the third! Three monsters had appeared out of nowhere and upsetted the whole Inner court! Many disciples thought that Li yu'er would become first, Yan Jian would become second while Long feng would become third. Only Elder Zhang and Elder Bei knew just how terrifying Long feng could be
