Chapter 115: Challenge Succeeded

Ye Liuyun's final punch was truly heart‑shaking!

The scene was like the end of the world, making everyone who watched tremble with fear. Let alone Huang Wenxuan, who was in the midst of it.

Everyone knows that after this battle, Ye Liuyun's name will be firmly remembered by everyone in the outer sect.

He is a ruthless person, someone they cannot afford to provoke!

A trace of fear involuntarily rose in Long Yue's heart!

"I used to underestimate him, never expected him to be this strong!"

Qi Tianyue and Nan Xin'er both felt as if they were dreaming.

"He won? He actually won!"

Song Yi and Li Mengxi both showed sincere smiles on their faces!

At this moment, Steward Yue also recovered from his shock, and excitedly announced to the crowd: "Ye Liuyun's challenge succeeded; he becomes a candidate inner sect disciple, ranking nineteenth on the list! Effective immediately, he will move to the candidate disciple Side Courtyard to reside!"

Then he ordered people to go and treat Huang Wenxuan.

On the stage, Ye Liuyun calmly took out a piece of clothing, draped it over himself, and then stepped down from the arena.

A loft hundreds of zhang away from the Zhan Tai.

Bang! Chang Hao smashed the tea cup in his hand onto the ground.

"How can this be! Huang Wenxuan, this useless person, can't even defeat a newly entered disciple!"

Beside him sat Yuan Meng, ranked third in the outer sect.

The two of them watched the entire challenge. They had expected a "good show," but instead a major upset emerged.

The newly entered outer sect youth, at the True Yuan Fifth Tier, successfully challenged the thirteenth‑ranked candidate inner sect disciple Huang Wenxuan, becoming the only candidate inner sect disciple whose realm is below True Yuan Ninth Tier!

"This kid is a bit stronger than imagined, but he can't get past ten moves against me."

Yuan Meng's indifferent gaze coldly stared at Ye Liuyun in the distance.

His strength has already reached the Half‑Step Sea Transformation realm, far beyond what someone like Huang Wenxuan at the True Yuan Ninth Tier Summit can compare to. Moreover, Yuan Meng also practices Body Refinement.

The top three on the ranking have already left the "normal" scope of outer sect disciples; they actually all qualify to enter the inner sect, far beyond what those outer sect disciples can compare to.

"Did you hear? Kong Wei is dead. Moreover, this kid is a person favored by the Hall Master of the Alchemist Hall! Even if my master were here, he'd have to weigh things carefully!"

Chang Hao said pensively, hinting at a desire to give up. He did all this solely to show it to Kong Wei. If Kong Wei truly died, then his actions would be meaningless.

Being in the inner sect, he naturally knows the fire old man's status. He couldn't help but note that his contribution to the Sect is immense, and his seniority even exceeds that of his master.

Moreover, Chang Hao's suppression of Ye Liuyun and his group was not authorized by his master; Kong Wei merely mentioned it while passing here before heading to Tianyun County City.

If he offends the Hall Master of the Alchemist Hall because of this, his master will certainly not let him off.

"What? Kong Wei died?" Yuan Meng also wore a face of surprise.

However, Ye Liuyun daring to strike his people made him very displeased. After all, Ye Liuyun is merely a newly entered ant.

Of course, now that Chang Hao has warned him, he will act more covertly in the future. Coming openly won't work; secretly dealing with a few outer sect ants is still a piece of cake...

Seeing the slightly weary Ye Liuyun return victorious, Song Yi and Li Mengxi both rushed forward, embracing him, their excitement beyond words.

"Congratulations, junior brother Ye, on becoming a candidate inner sect disciple; truly makes us envious!"

Qi Tianyue's bright eyes smiled as she was the first to step forward and congratulate.

At the same time, she also assessed the youth from a brand‑new perspective.

"Junior brother Ye truly let out a burst of fierce spirit for us newcomers..."

The other newly entered disciples all looked at Ye Liuyun with worship, continuously praising and flattering him.

Having only entered the sect for a few days, they already defeated a candidate inner sect disciple! Though they didn't win themselves, at least it makes those senior disciples think twice before bullying them.

Meanwhile, Hu Dahai, hiding nearby, had long fled in fear, terrified that Ye Liuyun would cause him trouble.

"Hmph! He's given him another chance to show off!"

Nan Xin'er let out a light snort, her expression slightly annoyed, yet deep down she felt an inexplicable sense of delight.

However, some people still felt dissatisfied in their hearts.

Long Yue, just recovering from the shock, had also felt fear, but thinking that Ye Liuyun's talent was lacking and would soon be surpassed, he felt much better.

In any case, from now on in the outer sect, no one will easily offend Ye Liuyun or his senior brothers and sisters.

Ye Liuyun therefore moved to the residence area for candidate inner sect disciples.

Here each disciple has an individual Side Courtyard loft, receiving far more Sect resources—at least three times that of ordinary outer sect disciples—and enjoys many privileges.

Upon moving to the new residence, Ye Liuyun's first act was to swallow a Condensing Yuan Pill to restore his True Essence.

A thrilling, intense battle had completely drained his True Essence, yet it also benefited him greatly.

After his True Essence was emptied, its re‑condensation was far more solid than before. The Immortal Overlord Body, after hammering, now has stronger defensive capability.

His Bloodline Power, though not released at the time and only used to heal injuries, awakened by two percent when danger was sensed.

Moreover, battling a master made him aware of his own gap.

The solidity of his True Essence was far lacking; without lightning and Golden Crow Holy Fire, he could never have clashed head‑on with Huang Wenxuan.

It seems his realm and techniques are still weak points.

In future fights with masters, he'll inevitably have to draw a blade; otherwise he truly isn't their match.

Regarding Divine Sense, this time he only used it to observe Huang Wenxuan's movements, without employing Illusion Eye Technique, which was a deliberate restraint; otherwise victory would have been easier.

After replenishing his True Essence, Ye Liuyun organized the gains from the battle before getting up and rushing to the Alchemist Hall.

When Ye Liuyun arrived at the Alchemist Hall, someone immediately informed the fire old man.

The fire old man rushed over in a blaze of urgency, ignoring the pills he was currently refining. Alchemist Huixin, seeing this, also hurried over, thinking something serious had happened.

Ye Liuyun was also startled by the fire old man.

Could something have happened?

The fire old man was also stunned upon seeing him and stopped in his tracks immediately.

"You aren't injured?"

Ye Liuyun let out a muted laugh.

Perhaps Huo Laotou'er thought he had been defeated and injured, which is why he rushed over in a panic to treat his wounds.

"It's fine, I'm not injured; I luckily won!"

"Hmm, not being injured is a good thing... Wait, what did you say? You won?"

Huo Laotou'er wore a look of utter disbelief.

Then he turned his head to look at Princess Tianyue.

He unintentionally exuded a strong aura, and Princess Tianyue, shaken by it, trembled and said, "Junior Brother Ye truly won!"

"Really won?" Huo Laotou'er still couldn't believe it, and asked, "What rank was the disciple you challenged?"

"The nineteenth-ranked Huang Wenxuan," Ye Liuyun replied.

"Huh?"

Huo Laotou'er was completely deflated! He had hoped Ye Liuyun would be defeated so he could focus on refining alchemy, but he didn't expect him to win!

And the one he beat was the nineteenth-ranked substitute inner-door disciple!

What does this indicate?

It shows that Ye Liuyun's cultivation talent isn't lacking! You should know he's only at the True Yuan Fifth Tier realm!

Now, no matter how thick‑skinned he is, he can't stay any longer. He tossed a few books to Ye Liuyun to read on his own, then gloomily returned to his alchemy.

Huixin Alchemist and Princess Tianyue, seeing it from the side, both held back their laughter.
