Chapter 597 (2/2)

For some reason, after discovering the academy's new announcement regarding him, anger welled up within him. He decided he was not going to remain low-profiled any longer. Otherwise, everyone would think they could bully him. He wanted to prove to the grand elders that his choice of cultivating nine elements was not wrong.

An uproar erupted among the crowd when they heard his announcement.

”Has he gone mad? Does he really think he's undefeatable? That is no different than suicide!”

”Yeah, with his combat prowess, fighting a battle or two in a row will be fine. Any more than that will probably exhaust him to death. Is he deliberately setting himself up for a defeat because he can't take the pressure anymore?”

”Looks like he has gone mad from being driven into a corner. But that's good as well. Although he has an impressive physique, cultivating nine powers is the same as destroying his own future. Now would be a good chance to teach him a lesson and make him restart his cultivation from scratch. He might still have a chance to rise in the future instead of wasting his physique away like this.”

”Let's see if he can even survive Lin Yang's challenge.”

...

”Are you saying that your victory against me is certain?” asked Lin Yang with a frown.

”Why are you asking a question you already know the answer to?” said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.

”You're courting death!” Lin Yang shouted as he erupted with power and flooded the ring with a boundless flame power. Unfortunately, Xiang Shaoyun moved in advance before he could attack.

Overlord's Nine Nether Steps.

Moving like the wind stage, flawless mastery.

As he drew from his wind star, the yin devil wind's power started coursing through his body. With his exquisite footwork and footwork intent, he transformed into wind and instantly appeared beside Lin Yang.

Seven Scorching Sun Claws!

No longer hiding anything, he converged Yun Flame's power around his palms and clawed at Lin Yang. The might of the Seven Scorching Sun claws had increased substantially after he had gained the teachings of the gravekeeper elder. The attack was clean and efficient, each motion flowing smoothly and erupting with abundant power as it shot towards Lin Yang's vitals.

Lin Yang had not expected Xiang Shaoyun's attack to come so quickly. Its speed was already comparable to a fourth-stage Emperor. Before he could even react, red bloomed from his body.
