Chapter 38: Disgraceful True Transmission, Foundation Establishment Cultivation

Everyone present stood frozen in place, staring in disbelief at the scene before them. True Transmission Disciple Chu Yu, already a Spirit Entrance Realm cultivator, had unexpectedly sprained his ankle during the match—this was simply incomprehensible. "A Spirit Entrance Realm cultivator spraining his ankle? I... have never heard of such a thing." "Senior Brother Qin Yu, this is too fierce—even a True Transmission Disciple is forced to kneel and cannot face him." Jiang Hai and the others whispered, suppressing their laughter, afraid to speak loudly lest the True Transmission Disciple notice. After all, they were merely outer disciples; if the True Transmission took notice of them, serious trouble would follow. As for the inner disciples, they began to doubt how Chu Yu had become a True Transmission Disciple. Such a basic mistake—even outer disciples at the Body Tempering Realm would not make it!

"Not good... we need to report this secretly—what if he got in through connections?" "Holy shit! Nicely done! Qin Yu, you're a god!" At this moment, Chu Jiang's heart nearly burst with excitement. Whether it was a mistake or an accident, his paternal cousin now had a broken leg. Next, Qin Yu also had a chance to win—at least he saw hope. Chu Yu's face was utterly grim; he gathered spiritual energy around his right leg, forced himself to stand, and growled lowly: "What sorcery did you use?" Clearly I didn't even touch him, yet his body had been completely out of control earlier. This is absurd—he had never encountered anything like this. "Heretical ways—no wonder you could defeat my cousin... heh." "Let me teach you: so-called sorcery is nothing before true strength!" Chu Yu took a step forward, instantly appearing several meters away, the distance closing, but he dared not move too fast, fearing a repeat of his earlier blunder. Otherwise, he would become the laughingstock of the entire Profound Yang Sect.

Qin Yu paid no heed, instead closing his eyes tightly and attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. The halo of Heaven's Mandate bestowed upon him made him feel that cultivation was actually this simple. Coupled with his heaven-rank talent, it was like a fish in water. Since Chu Yu couldn't get close to him anyway, he simply ignored it. "Snort!" A faint stream of spiritual energy emitted a humming sound, flowing through his body, vaguely touching the opportunity. The spiritual energy above the plaza surged wildly toward Qin Yu's flesh. "Qin Yu actually disregards everything and tries to break through his cultivation?" "This is astonishing—Qin Yu seems to have completely written off Chu Yu, and I now seriously suspect Chu Yu entered the True Transmission ranks through backdoor means." "Report, we must report." Each inner disciple whispered, indignant. This Chu Yu is all show and no substance. When facing Qin Yu at the Body Tempering Realm, he is overly cautious. These inner disciples wouldn't even be so fearful of a Body Tempering Ninth Layer cultivator. Even if the opponent's cultivation is weak, or even if they themselves might lose, they should still go all out. Being so timid—what kind of behavior is that? But... Elder Wu and the others wore solemn expressions. "This Qin Yu resembles the Son of Destiny recorded in ancient texts." "Indeed, in every era there exist beings who bear the fortune of heaven and earth; their path is smooth sailing, and even when faced with irresistible dangers, heaven and earth actively send down laws to aid them." "Let's observe further, hold off on defining it—if Qin Yu truly is a Son of Destiny... our Profound Yang Sect will strike it rich this time!" The three could hardly contain their excitement. If Qin Yu were an unparalleled genius, they would feel relieved, for the sect's future would look bright. But... if Qin Yu were a Son of Destiny, then the entire Profound Yang Sect might consequently ascend to heaven—chickens and dogs rising to the skies—and even leave the Canglan Yu to regain its former glory.

"Boom—!" At that moment, Chu Yu appeared several meters from Qin Yu, a flash of malice in his eyes as he unleashed a punch that sent Qin Yu crashing to his knees, leaving no room for further words. No matter what, after this he would become the laughingstock of the Profound Yang Sect's True Transmission. "Boom!" But... at that moment, the heavens were overcast, a silver-white thunder dragon coiling within the clouds. A thick, winding thunder snake lashed down toward the two of them. A destructive aura spread. Then, a faint voice rang out from the firmament: "Those who interfere with the tribulation, obstruct the heavenly punishment, shall be slain!" The descending thunder snake instantly expanded slightly, causing the faces of many outer and inner disciples to shift dramatically—had they reached the Spirit Entrance Realm? "Holy shit, this Chu Yu is really miserable—just as Qin Yu was breaking through to Foundation Establishment and undergoing tribulation, he intervened, and the tribulation judged him as interfering, thus demanding he protect Qin Yu..." "It's over; Chu Yu will likely be laid up for three to five months—how pitiful." "Striking a Body Tempering Ninth Layer cultivator, yet he keeps flipping over again and again; from now on Chu Yu will be nothing but a joke."

Chu Yu's face was deathly pale—when had he ever interfered with the tribulation? He hadn't even clashed head-on with the heavenly punishment. He tried to retreat from the outer sect plaza, but the tribulation had already fallen. "Boom!" A dull thunderclap rang out, nearly tearing Chu Yu apart; blackened smoke rose, his flesh and blood blurring. "No... I withdraw, I withdraw!" Chu Yu limped toward the edge of the plaza, but two more bolts of tribulation lightning struck, weakening his life force further. He collapsed at the base of the plaza, barely conscious, on the verge of suffocation. Yet deep in his eyes, a malicious aura flickered. "Even if... even if I lose." "But, the tribulation that someone interferes with will intensify on its own—Qin Yu, you'd better... you'd better not think you'll get off easy." His words faded as he collapsed unconscious on the spot. Because interfered-with tribulation becomes extremely terrifying, and given Chu Yu's prior injuries, he could hardly resist. This scene left everyone silent. This is our Profound Yang Sect's True Transmission Disciple. How embarrassing...

The outer sect elder twitched the corner of his mouth: "Qin Yu versus Chu Yu—Qin Yu wins!" Everyone present had expected Qin Yu to lose, but now this dramatic turn of events unfolded. In the plaza, as Qin Yu underwent the tribulation, a prompt appeared in his mind: 【Since you still bear Heaven's Mandate, the interferer has withdrawn from the range, and the tribulation returns to normal.】 Upon seeing this, Qin Yu instinctively raised a hand to his forehead. Whoever had called out Chu Yu had inadvertently stumbled upon this suggestion. Within a century, Chu Yu's name will spread throughout the Profound Yang Sect—this is simply embarrassing enough to send to one's grandmother's house. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Immediately, several bolts of tribulation lightning fell; the clouds outside dissipated completely. Countless streams of spiritual energy gathered, as if rejoicing and leaping. Qin Yu's aura surged instantly. His cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
