"... You two donât need to decline each other anymore, itâs alright to come at me together."
As soon as Chen Yu said this, the surroundings fell into silence.
"Nephew Chen..."
Lin Yutian didnât know what to say.
Chen Yu had just broken through to the Xuanming Realm, and defeating Murong Can Guang was already astonishing.
And now, he actually intended to take on two opponents at once!
Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan, who were arguing, felt intense humiliation upon hearing these words.
Itâs alright to come at me together?
Chen Yu didnât seem to regard them as anything at all.
Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan, within their respective factions, were rising stars and respected potential Emperors.
"Chen Yu, you said it yourself!"
Murong Can Guang said with a flushed face.
Anger surged to his heart, and he harbored deep hatred for Chen Yu.
Chen Yuâs speed was his greatest advantage, but if Wei Yan joined him, taking on two would neutralize Chen Yuâs speed to the greatest extent, which might lead to victory.
Wei Yanâs face was gloomy. He didnât wish to engage an enemy of unknown strength, but he couldnât swallow the disdain.
"Since Brother Chen insists, then I wonât be polite."
Wei Yan also expressed his fighting intent.
Seeing Chen Yu truly plan to take on two opponents, Lin Yutian had no way to interfere, so he could only open the array on the duel platform to let Wei Yan in.
The first battle ended too quickly, and the second, even more eye-catching battle began immediately.
"Wei Yan, I know your left eye is due to practicing a special pupil skill that requires long-term nurturing, youâre not truly a One-eyed Dragon."
"Use your âNether Night Pupilâ to interfere with this kid, and cooperate with my âTen Thousand Sword Techniqueâ, we will surely win."
Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan communicated telepathically.
Originally hostile towards each other, they now had a common enemy, putting aside personal grudges to join forces against the foe.
"You sure know a lot for a pampered youth."
Wei Yan sneered, his hair flying without wind, and the tightly closed left eye suddenly opened, pitch black inside, like an endless abyss, soul-entrancing.
"Attack."
Murong Can Guang suddenly shouted.
In an instant, limitless brilliance shot out from his body, transforming into countless radiant swords, covering a thousand feet, forming an impenetrable sword domain.
"Eternal Night Soul Capture."
Wei Yanâs left eye locked onto Chen Yuâs star soul, activating his pupil skill.
The abyss in his left eye rotated, seeming to encompass the entire heavens and earth, swallowing everything, eternally submerging in that tranquil and dark abyss.
Outside the duel platform, many kings below the Xuanming Realm were entranced by Wei Yanâs left eye, standing motionless like fools.
"Murong Can Guangâs âTen Thousand Sword Bodyâ makes his physical attacks immensely powerful, while Wei Yan seems to have mastered a special pupil secret technique, with no simple soul-level attainments."
Lin Yutian commented, his gaze heavy.
Murong Can Guang and Wei Yanâs joint efforts could be said to have no weaknesses.
"Heâs not someone who talks big."
Lin Yuxuanâs face also flashed a trace of worry, but she affirmed.
On the duel platform.
"Kill!"
Murong Can Guang suddenly shouted, and the enormous sword domain surged out, enveloping Chen Yu.
Due to Wei Yanâs hindrance, Chen Yuâs speed advantage would be lost.
"No, itâs not right..."
Wei Yanâs face suddenly revealed a look of panic.
His Nether Night Pupil was activating its secret technique on Chen Yu, but in his soul perception, his pupil skill seemed to have no effect.
Chen Yuâs star soul was like a giant mountain, completely unmoved.
Swish!
Murong Can Guangâs attack descended, but Chen Yuâs figure instantly vanished, dodging all the attacks.
"Wei Yan, what are you doing? Hurry up and block him."
Murong Can Guang shouted, thinking Wei Yan was holding back deliberately, otherwise, with his âNether Night Pupilâ, interfering with Chen Yu would be a piece of cake.
"... Alright."
Wei Yan realized, though shocked his pupil skill had no effect, the battle had begun, and he must win.
His innate star source surged forth a massive holy power, transforming into a dark night curtain, sweeping toward Chen Yu.
Even if the pupil skill didnât work, he could employ other attack methods to hinder Chen Yu.
As long as Chen Yuâs speed was suppressed, Murong Can Guangâs sword technique unleashed by the âTen Thousand Sword Bodyâ would surely lead to victory!
Swish!
Chen Yuâs figure vanished again, and the dark night curtain struck nothing.
At this time, Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan realized Chen Yuâs legs were emanating a green glow with a formidable Holy Beast aura spreading around.
"This wood-element Holy Beast aura is somewhat similar to the Holy Beast blood I gifted him, but also somewhat different."
Lin Yutian keenly sensed this.
Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan didnât know what Chen Yu was up to, but it couldnât be anything good.
Both reached a consensus and launched a frenzied attack, the dual-colored brilliance filled the entire duel platform with continuous explosions.
"Junior Brother Chen, be careful."
Lin Yuxuan couldnât help but remind.
Chen Yuâs expression didnât change at all, using his astonishing speed to evade the attacks of the two Xuanming Emperors.
Occasionally, he would also deliberately let enemy attacks graze him, pretending to have exerted his full strength.
"Itâs about time."
Chen Yu muttered softly, his legs shining with a bright green glow, countless green tendrils spreading out, the powerful Holy Beast aura deterring all sides.
"Azure Dragon Transformation!"
Chen Yuâs legs were translucent like jade, dragon patterns appearing on the surface, transforming into two substantial Green Light Wood Dragons, attacking Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan respectively.
The wood dragonâs size rapidly expanded, nine-tenths similar to the true form of the Holy Beast Azure Dragon.
"What is this?"
Murong Can Guang sensed danger, his star origin holy power erupting, gathering thousands of sword lights.
Chichi chi!
The continuous dazzling sword light struck the wood dragon but couldnât penetrate it.
Not only that, the sword light hitting the Green Light Wood Dragon had its internal Star Origin Holy Power absorbed instead.
The White Tiger Sacred Claw, Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings, and Azure Dragon Sacred Leg all have unique features.
The Azure Dragon Sacred Leg targets the enemyâs characteristics, capable of extracting vitality and energy, including holy power.
Murong Can Guangâs attacks were ineffective and instead enhanced the Green Light Giant Dragonâs power.
In an instant, the Green Light Giant Dragon flew over and wrapped around Murong Can Guang.
On the other side, Wei Yan faced the same fate.
The vitality and holy power inside both were rapidly absorbed, unable to break free from the binds.
From afar, Chen Yu watched Wei Yan and Murong Can Guang quietly, not in a hurry to act, but instead smiled faintly and asked, "Still not admitting defeat?"
"...We havenât lost yet."
Murong Can Guang gritted his teeth, and the Star Origin inside him continued to explode.
But each time the Star Origin Holy Power was released, it would be devoured by the Green Light Wood Dragon entwining them, strengthening the restraints.
The more they struggled, the faster the Star Origin Holy Power was absorbed.
Chen Yu still did not move, quietly watching this scene.
Moments later, the vitality inside Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan was nearly exhausted, leaving them skin and bones; originally handsome and dashing, they now seemed like decrepit old men.
The two stopped struggling, yet didnât have the face to admit defeat.
Soon, their vitality was completely drained, and their Star Origin Holy Power was about to be depleted, causing internal fear to appear.
If this continued, it would cause irreparable damage to their bodies and their life-origin Star Origin, harming their foundation.
"I... concede!"
Murong Can Guang gritted his teeth and finally admitted defeat.
"Concede..."
Soon after, Wei Yan also admitted defeat.
This battle ended, with two potential Emperors forced by Chen Yu to personally concede.
The members of the Night God Temple and the Murong Family felt humiliated and lowered their heads.
"How is this possible? Both are at the early-stage Xuanming, how could the gap between Can Guang and Chen Yu be so large?" .
A silver-haired elder from the Murong Family found it hard to believe.
Could it be that the Heavenly Martial Sect hid something, and Chen Yu advanced to Xuanming Realm as a seven-star or eight-star King?
"Uncle Lin, thank you for gifting me the Late Xuanming Stage Holy Beast blood, which greatly increased the power of my secret technique."
At this time, Chen Yu expressed gratitude to Lin Yutian.
"So you asked for the wood-element Holy Beast blood for use here."
Lin Yutianâs confusion was cleared.
And the members of the Murong Family and the Night God Temple attributed Murong Can Guang and Wei Yanâs failure to the Late Xuanming Stage Holy Beast blood because of Chen Yuâs words.
Chen Yu could exert such strong wood-element secret techniques due to the Late Xuanming Stage Holy Beast blood, instantly reducing their suspicion of Chen Yu himself.
"This Lin Yutian truly favors Chen Yu, gifting such precious treasures directly."
The silver-haired elder sighed.
Only Wei Yan remained doubtful, wondering about Chen Yuâs powerful Star Soul.
"Murong Can Guang, safe travels, no need to see you off."
Chen Yu smiled.
Murong Can Guang then remembered that he had bet with Chen Yu earlier, and if he lost, he would be kicked out of the Lin Family.
How could the dignified Emperor of the Murong Family not adhere to the agreement?
The members of the Murong Family packed their things and quickly left the Lin Family.
"Damn it, Lin Yutian is so biased towards Chen Yu, gifting him the Late Xuanming Stage Holy Beast blood, greatly increasing the power of Chen Yuâs secret technique."
"I must kill this bastard."
After leaving the Lin Family, Murong Can Guang shouted loudly.
Todayâs humiliation was unbearable for him.
The other members of the Murong Family were shocked by his words; Chen Yu is now an elder of the Heavenly Martial Sect, and the Murong Family has no reason to casually kill the upper echelon of the Heavenly Martial Sect.
"Can Guang, donât speak recklessly."
The silver-haired elder huffed.
"Third Uncle, I..."
Murong Can Guangâs face remained resentful.
"Chen Yu is an elder of the Heavenly Martial Sect, even the Murong Family does not wish to easily offend the Heavenly Martial Sect."
"However, this failed alliance canât be let go easily. Incidentally, I have an old friend who lives here in seclusion, and Iâll ask him to take action against Chen Yu."
The silver-haired elder spoke seriously, fearing Murong Can Guangâs impulsiveness in seeking to harm Chen Yu.
"Third Uncle, who is your friend?"
Murong Can Guangâs anger slightly lessened.
"My friend is an old Emperor Xuanming. When his fame was widespread, you hadnât been born yet."
After speaking, the silver-haired elder took out a Communication Talisman.
...
After the Murong Family left, Wei Yan also didnât have the face to stay here any longer.
"Uncle Lin, the matter has been resolved."
Chen Yu said to Lin Yutian.
He and Lin Yuxuan still have an engagement on the surface, and since Murong Can Guang and Wei Yan were defeated by him, what face do they have to continue entangling with Lin Yuxuan?
Afterward, Chen Yu proposed to take his leave.
"Nephew Chen, why not stay a few more days?"
Lin Yutian tried to persuade him.
Now, the more he looked at Chen Yu, the more pleasing Chen Yu seemed.
Lin Yuxuan had always been his pride, but now he had to admit that Chen Yuâs excellence surpassed Lin Yuxuanâs.
Fighting two opponents alone, defeating two potential Emperors.
Chen Yuâs talent and potential are absolutely top-notch among the Human Raceâs early Xuanming Realm!
Now, Lin Yutian is wholeheartedly trying to bring his daughter and Chen Yu together.
