Chapter 57 The Secret of Yiyuan (Part 2)

While Yiyuan celebrated, Tianjian Academy wore dismal expressions, with endless sorrow and disappointment evident on each face. Sword Dust's master, Jun Buhui, saw his disciple fall and immediately tried to catch him as his body flickered. However, the moment his hands touched Sword Dust's body, there was a cry of surprise, and Jun Buhui was instantly pushed away. Upon landing, he felt numbness in his limbs and weakness throughout his body.

Liu Xinghun landed beside him and asked, "Junior Brother, what's wrong? Why did this happen?" Jun Buhui's eyes showed surprise as he whispered, "There's electricity on Dust's body. Any contact will repel people."

Liu Xinghun's expression changed, and his gaze shifted to Lu Yun in the sky. Seeing the people from Yiyuan and Lu Yun, Liu Xinghun's face darkened, and he walked to Li Changchun's side, whispering a few words to him. Li Changchun glanced at Lu Yun and nodded slightly without speaking.

Turning back to the crowd, a powerful aura suddenly filled the arena as all eyes turned to him. Liu Xinghun shouted, "This competition is invalidated and will not be counted." As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed, while the people from Yiyuan were furious, glaring at him.

At this moment, Lin Yunfeng was enraged. He ignored the vast difference in status between himself and Liu Xinghun and angrily exclaimed, "You're talking nonsense! Everyone here saw clearly that Lu Yun won fair and square. Why should it be invalidated? If Tianjian Academy can't accept defeat, then don't hold the Six Academies Tournament to avoid embarrassment. What kind of rule is this, where only you can win and others can't? It's absurd."

Liu Xinghun's face changed, and he snapped, "Shut up! Who do you think you are? There's no room for you to speak here. This competition is invalidated because Lu Yun cheated, so all his achievements are canceled."

Seeing Liu Xinghun's rudeness and his furious demeanor, Zi Yang True Person spoke loudly, "He has no right to speak, but I don't know if I do. You accuse Lu Yun of cheating, but what evidence do you have? Everyone here saw it with their own eyes. My disciple won purely by strength, without any tricks. He relied on his true ability to win. You can't just spout nonsense with your eyes wide open." After Lu Yun finally won the first place for Yiyuan, Tianjian Academy actually tried to cheat. This made all the people from Yiyuan harbor resentment.

On the other hand, Liu Xinghun was already full of anger due to Sword Dust's defeat. Now, being scolded by Yiyuan's people made him even more furious. Looking at Zi Yang True Person, Liu Xinghun angrily asked, "Whether he cheated or not, everyone's eyes here are clear. The sword technique he used before, was it from Yiyuan? And now this strange technique he used to win, where did he learn it from? Do you think we at Tianjian Academy are clueless? What technique does he have that can surpass our Tianjian Technique? You tell me. If you can't, then it's cheating."

With this statement, the whole scene fell into silence. Zi Yang True Person was so angry that his whole body trembled, his face turning red, not knowing what to say for a while. To be honest, they had never seen the technique Lu Yun used at the end, let alone heard of it. Although they had suspected it before, at this moment, Lu Yun had won, and no matter what, they would fully support him and not destroy themselves.

Xuan Yu True Person's muscles trembled on his face, his expression extremely excited. At this moment, seeing Liu Xinghun ask like this, he couldn't help but speak, "Brother Liu hasn't seen it before, but that doesn't mean we at Yiyuan haven't. As for the technique Lu Yun used before, I can tell you that it was learned from somewhere else. In our Yiyuan, not only Lu Yun knows it, but Aoxue does too. Aoxue, now it's your turn to show it, so that everyone can see it and avoid others feeling wronged and accusing us of cheating."

Aoxue responded softly, her graceful figure shooting into the air, and divine swords filled the sky with sword shadows. Only hearing Aoxue's delicate shout, "The raging waves of the Yellow River surge, flowing to the sea never to return!" With her words, Aoxue's whole body burst out with an overwhelming momentum, like the surging waves of the Yellow River rushing to the East Sea, shaking everyone present. Purple light spread all over Aoxue's body in an instant, layer upon layer of purple light, like waves undulating. Bright purple clouds, like raging flames, rapidly rotated around Aoxue.

Looking at Aoxue in the air, everyone could see that this move, apart from the nature and color of the true essence, was exactly the same as the one Lu Yun had displayed. It seemed that what Xuan Yu True Person said was true, but they still didn't know the origin of this sword technique.

Xuan Yu True Person looked at Liu Xinghun coldly and asked, "Did you observe carefully? If you didn't see clearly, I'll let Aoxue continue with the next move to dispel your doubts."

Glancing at Aoxue, Liu Xinghun's face turned iron-blue, and he sneered, "Even if Zhang Aoxue knows it, it doesn't necessarily mean it's Yiyuan's sword technique. This doesn't have much persuasive power."

Xuan Yu True Person's expression turned cold, and he said in a chilling tone, "You'd better think twice before speaking. If you can find someone else who knows this sword technique, Yiyuan will voluntarily withdraw from this competition and give up the first place. If you can't find anyone else who knows it, or can't find the origin of this sword technique, we at Yiyuan will never let go of this first place." At this moment, Xuan Yu True Person could only gamble. After all, if Aoxue said that Lu Yun created this technique himself, then no one else would know it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinghun's face changed, and he glanced at Li Changchun before turning back and saying, "Even if none of us recognize this sword technique, even if it's your Yiyuan's secret skill, isn't the technique Lu Yun displayed at the end also something from your Yiyuan? If you can't explain it, this competition will still be invalidated."

Looking up at Aoxue in the air, everyone could see that she was standing next to Lu Yun, seemingly discussing something. Then, looking at the angry faces of Zi Yang and Yunfeng, Xuan Yu True Person couldn't help but sigh inwardly. At this moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Around them, everyone's gaze was fixed on Xuan Yu True Person's face, waiting for his answer. Everyone wanted to know if the technique Lu Yun displayed was truly from Yiyuan and why no one had seen it before.

Liu Xinghun looked at Xuan Yu True Person, a hint of maliciousness flashing in his eyes, as he sarcastically asked, "What's wrong, Master Xuan Yu? Why so silent? Can't come up with an answer, or is there something you can't say? Is there something unspeakable that you're afraid everyone will find out?"

Xuan Yu True Person's face changed, a trace of anger appearing. He glanced at Li Changchun, who showed no signs of stopping him, making Xuan Yu True Person even more furious. Beside him, Zi Yang, Jingyue, Yunfeng, and Li Hongfei were all furious, glaring fiercely at Liu Xinghun. Around them, people's eyes showed suspicion, carefully watching everyone from Yiyuan.

Just at this critical moment, a powerful aura swept through the air, enveloping everyone on the ground. In that intense aura, there was a hint of furious anger, clearly shaking everyone's hearts. Lu Yun's voice came coldly, his tone sharp, directly confronting Liu Xinghun.

"Liu Xinghun, do you know how many unique skills Yiyuan has? If you don't know, don't embarrass yourself here. Get out of here. If you're not convinced, you can come up and try. See if our Yiyuan's unique skills are inferior to your Tianjian Academy's." As he spoke, a ball of light appeared in Lu Yun's right palm, and without any warning, a thunderous strike hit his palm. The astonishing momentum made everyone on the ground's faces change drastically.

Liu Xinghun's face flushed with anger, ready to come up and settle the score with Lu Yun, but he was stopped by Li Changchun. Li Changchun whispered softly, "No, if you do this, our Tianjian Academy will be criticized for bullying the weak with our strength. It's more important to ask him about that matter carefully." Upon hearing this, Liu Xinghun calmed down.

Looking up at Lu Yun in the air, Liu Xinghun sneered, "Now that you're injured, I won't take advantage of you. Explain for yourself. Where did you learn the technique you just displayed? Are you a spy sent by the Demon Sect to deliberately sabotage our Six Academies Tournament held every ten years?" This statement stunned everyone, as they couldn't believe he would ask such a ridiculous question.
