Chapter 63 Yellow List No. 1
As the bell rang for the final match.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Ah Tian made the first move.
He was extremely fast.
Like a white shadow, it arrived in front of Lu Yuan in an instant.
Take several steps in one stride.
Several afterimages of the opponent appeared on the arena.
Lu Yuan initially intended to remain still and directly engage in combat to assess his opponent's strength.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, A Tian struck Lu Yuan with a palm.
Before Lu Yuan could react...
He then used his identity again to create distance between himself and Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan struck back with his palm, but only managed to hit the afterimage.
"Bang! Bang!"
It's the same old routine.
Whenever Lu Yuan tried to retaliate, his opponent would slip away like an eel.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than twenty blows.
However, Lu Yuan was mostly the one getting beaten up.
Although the opponent's strength was not great, the insult was extremely strong.
"Damn it, they've got me flying a kite," Lu Yuan thought to himself.
He then changed his strategy.
"Let's play this game of tug-of-war! Let's see who can outrun whom!"
Using the Qingfeng Step technique, Lu Yuan began to actively distance himself from A Tian.
As expected, the opponent's strategy failed.
They began to chase after Lu Yuan.
What Lu Yuan didn't expect was...
The opponent is extremely fast.
Lu Yuan had to use his full power to barely create distance between them when he was almost there.
"As expected of being number one on the yellow list, their speed is astounding!"
"Judging from Chen Dagou's speed, he's clearly not up to par. It looks like his twelve-game winning streak is about to end here."
Several well-informed audience members in the audience held their breath.
He watched the agility battle on the stage with complete concentration.
During the chase, Lu Yuan keenly noticed...
Ah Tian, who was standing in front of me, was clearly carrying a knife, but he didn't draw it.
He used only speed and fists to pull him along.
Does this mean that the other side hasn't used its full strength yet?
Lu Yuan turned to the side.
He raised his hand and unleashed a Rock-Shattering Palm, sending a scorching wave of energy sweeping outwards.
Instead of taking the hit head-on, A-Tian flashed around to Lu Yuan's side.
He struck his right shoulder with a palm.
Lu Yuan parried to the side, and the two exchanged more than ten moves in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yuan could sense that this person's cultivation was on the verge of the Meridian Opening Realm.
But I deliberately suppressed it.
It's not about suppressing strength, it's about preventing internal energy from breaking through.
His punches and kicks were heavy, each punch and each palm strike carrying a ruthless, reckless force.
But he always held back some of his strength.
It was as if they were deliberately forcing Lu Yuan to use all his trump cards.
Lu Yuan carefully analyzed his current situation and realized that he only had three options to win.
We need to use the previous brute force to transform the gas.
But this pre-animation is too long, and there's clearly not enough time in the current situation;
Using the [Fighting Spirit Strike] requires a successful hit, but it has significant side effects. Currently, Lu Yuan is barely managing to avoid being caught up by using the Azure Wind Step at full power, and it's easy for him to miss.
Or should we use the Six Meridian Divine Sword?
Lu Yuan was caught in a dilemma.
After a moment, he made up his mind.
"So what if we're exposed? It's better than losing!"
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, circulated his inner energy, and flicked out sword energy from his fingertips.
Shaoshang Sword.
Shangyang Sword.
Zhongchong Sword.
...
Three invisible sword energies shot out from different angles.
Ah Tian was able to sense the sword energy attack. He dodged two attacks in quick succession, but the third one struck his left shoulder.
But he did not fall.
He glanced down at the gash on his left shoulder, where the sword energy had slashed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Then he stopped, took two steps back, and waved to the ringmaster.
"He won, I concede!"
The entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted.
A deafening cheer erupted from the audience.
The new champion of the Yellow List has been chosen!
At this moment, the notification sounds in Lu Yuan's mind were so dense that they almost formed a continuous stream.
[Qilin Bloodline (Blue) Evolving]: Evolution progress 20%.
[Born with Divine Strength (Blue) in Evolution]: Evolution progress 15%.
[First Place on the Yellow List (Purple)]: Added title entry. Within the Great Qian Realm, all buff effects are doubled, and debuff effects are halved (effective below the Meridian Opening Realm).
Then, the host presented Lu Yuan with a yellowed ancient book.
The cover has three ancient seal characters: Seven Stars Secret.
"Congratulations, Young Master Chen, on achieving first place on the yellow list."
"Young Master Chen is truly exceptionally talented. Today, he broke the record for consecutive wins on the Yellow List that has stood for so many years in the Great Qian Dynasty."
Tie Qianshan stood up from the private room.
He didn't go to the ring; he just said something to the people behind him.
"Return to Iron Bone Sect."
He paused as he passed the old man, lowering his voice to say, "Sir, after today, do you still think I'm crazy?"
The old man did not answer.
Without waiting for a reply, Tie Qianshan pushed open the door and left.
To Lu Yuan's surprise, the people from Tianji Pavilion that Tie Qianshan had mentioned earlier did not appear when the event ended.
Shen Qingyan greeted him with a smile, leading him out of the martial arts hall through the VIP passage and escorting him back to the inn.
It was already evening.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.
When I opened the door to the inn, there were no lights on inside.
As soon as Lu Yuan stepped across the threshold, he heard the soft sound of clothes rubbing against the stone bricks behind him.
He turned around and saw Shen Qingyan lift her long skirt with one hand and land her knee cleanly on the door frame.
"Shen Qingyan greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Lu Yuan quickly helped her up.
"What's the matter? Let's go inside and talk."
Shen Qingyan straightened up and responded to Lu Yuan.
She seemed to realize that her behavior just now was inappropriate.
I carefully closed the door.
They came to stand in front of Lu Yuan once again.
"Tell me who you are."
Lu Yuan sat at the table, poured some water into his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
The moment he used the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he was already prepared to expose his identity.
Therefore, Shen Qingyan's actions were not surprising.
His voice was very low, but his tone was very enthusiastic.
"My father, Shen Wan, was originally the head of the royal merchants of Nanzhao."
"The Shen family has been engaged in the business of medicinal herbs and ironware for the Duan royal family for generations. After the fall of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the entire family moved to Daqian and lived in anonymity in Wuyun County for sixteen years, building up this arena and accumulating the resources for the restoration of the kingdom."
She looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes trembling slightly.
Her voice involuntarily lowered, as if afraid of being overheard, or as if afraid of losing control of her emotions.
"The only queen of Nanzhao was from the Shen family."
"Speaking of which, she is my aunt."
Lu Yuan did not respond immediately, but pondered Shen Qingyan's words carefully.
According to what she just said, his identity... is her cousin?
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did Tie Qianshan inform you in advance?"
"Yes. The Iron Gang Leader sent a secret letter several months ago, saying that the Crown Prince might still be alive. At the time, my father couldn't believe it."
"Sixteen years have passed, and the false information received by the restorationists could fill a room."
She looked up at Lu Yuan, her eyes gleaming slightly under the lamplight.
"But today you used the Six Meridians on the stage, and we know that it wasn't fake. Only a direct descendant of the Duan family can master the complete Six Meridians."
Just then, the panel in my mind vibrated again.
[Descendants of the Duan Clan (Blue) Evolving]: A large influx of collective consciousness from former officials who were involved in the restoration of the kingdom is emerging, and the entry is evolving towards the Crown Prince of Nanzhao. Current evolution progress: 35%.
【Unfathomable (Blue)】: Effect activated. Because of your identity as a "direct descendant of the Duan family," some people imagine you to be the unassuming crown prince of Nanzhao. Gain the martial arts entry – 【Lingbo Weibu (Unique Rank)】.
