I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 549

Chapter 549: Chapter 298 – Setting up a Ring in Front of Thousand Martial Hall_2
 

Alas, Thousand Martial Hall was under close scrutiny by Wu Tianan, and any violation of the rules of the “Peerless Ascent” would surely provide Wu Tianan with an excuse to strike from the shadows.

The other members of the Transcendent Spirit Sect might not ally with Thousand Martial Hall to confront Wu Tianan because of this.

In the initial battle of the Ten Thousand Star Martial Arts Institute, it was the previous lord of Thousand Martial Hall who had defeated Wu Tianan. Yet, regrettably, the formidable opponent managed to escape with his life.

And had even further strengthened his power, reaching the limits of martial arts in the Spiritual Realm!

Being watched by such a formidable figure, Thousand Martial Hall could only endure for the time being.

“Thousand Martial Hall is very powerful, and their prodigies, all with spiritual body talents, are two great realms above me. With my current strength, I might not be able to suppress them.

“Moreover, once I defeat all the prodigies of Thousand Martial Hall, these old fellows definitely won’t sit idly by. If they come at me all at once, it will be difficult for me to escape with my current strength.

“At that time, I would inevitably have to use Master’s Divine Skill Jade Talisman, and that’s unacceptable. How can I, Xu Yan, walk the path of the Martial Arts Realm relying on my Master’s protection?

“I’m about to break through to the Divine Origin Realm. After a few more battles, I should be ready. Once I enter the Divine Origin Realm, there will be nothing to fear.”

Xu Yan thought to himself.

“Good, then I, Xu Yan, will suppress all the prodigies in Thousand Martial State!”

Xu Yan nodded coldly.

Song Zeng had a dark expression. Xu Yan, this youngster, was truly arrogant. He wanted to suppress all the prodigies in Thousand Martial State by himself?

“I really want to see how you suppress all the prodigies in Thousand Martial State!”

Song Zeng scoffed coldly.

The surrounding martial artists instantly perked up, sensing that things were about to get lively in Thousand Martial State. The prodigies would likely show up one after another.

“Where will Xu Yan challenge next? One of the Three Kingdoms’ Seven Sects and Eight Noble Families?”

“Surely, these are all subordinate powers of Thousand Martial Hall.”

The martial artists quietly conversed among themselves.

Meanwhile, Xu Yan moved back just when everyone thought he was about to leave. Instead, Xu Yan raised his hand and struck downward with a palm.

Boom!

A few hundred feet away from the mountain gate of Thousand Martial Hall, the ground surged and piled up, and soon a mound tens of meters high, made from the compacted earth, emerged.

On the flat high platform, Xu Yan took out some unknown treasures, thrust them into the four corners of the platform, and in an instant, an unknown force converged, gathering atop the earthen mound.

As this force gathered, the mound unexpectedly became as solid as rock.

Standing proudly on the high platform with his sword, Xu Yan called out, “I am Sword God Xu Yan, challenging the prodigies of Thousand Martial State at the gate of Thousand Martial Hall!”

The martial artists all stared, dumbstruck. How bold was he?

They thought he was leaving the mountain gate of Thousand Martial Hall to challenge the major powers, but he set up a stage right outside the gate and challenged the prodigies from all over Thousand Martial State?

Song Zeng’s face turned green as he shouted in anger, “You insolent boy, Xu Yan!”

Xu Yan glanced back at him and said, “This is what you said, defeating all the prodigies of Thousand Martial State before challenging the prodigies of Thousand Martial Hall. Given the size of Thousand Martial State, it would be exhausting for me alone to travel everywhere.

“Setting up a dueling platform right in front of the gate of Thousand Martial Hall makes it much more convenient, and it allows all of you from Thousand Martial Hall to witness the battles. It would prevent you from denying my victories over all the prodigies of Thousand Martial State!”

Song Zeng’s face darkened. What Xu Yan said was not without reason, yet brazenly setting up a challenge stage in front of the gate of Thousand Martial Hall was almost akin to a slap in the face!

“Xu Yan, don’t you think that just because there are rules in the prodigy competition, you can run amok?”

Song Zeng spoke with a fierce glint in his eyes.

“I, Xu Yan, have never cared for so-called rules. Rules are but shackles for the weak. I, Xu Yan, have always been breaking the rules. Your Transcendent Spirit Sect’s rules are worth less than dogshit in my eyes.

“Today, right here, I challenge the prodigies of Thousand Martial State. If you disagree, let your prodigies of Thousand Martial Hall come out and fight.

“If you want to bully the weaker, then make your move. After all, everyone says that Thousand Martial Hall is the most shameless…”

Xu Yan looked at Song Zeng sideways, his posture and expression full of disdain and scorn, provoking the anger inside Song Zeng until his face reddened and his aura intensified, involuntarily grasping a knife in his hand.

The observing martial artists immediately tensed up, retreating some distance away, looking towards the figure on the high platform, unable to deny the audacity. This was the first person to set up a stage in front of the gate of the Transcendent Spirit Sect.

In past years, the Blood Demon, so arrogant and wild, dared not set up a stage in front of the gate of the Transcendent Spirit Sect. Xu Yan was the first in the history of the Spiritual Realm!

Thousand Martial Hall, within the ranks of the Transcendent Spirit Sect, was the most shameless, more so than many other sects—a fact almost universally acknowledged in the Spiritual Realm and among the various sect families.

Yet, no one had dared to say to their face that Thousand Martial Hall was the most shameless.

Today was truly a witness to history!

There was a fearless man, who spoke openly in front of the gates of the Thousand Martial Hall!

Song Zeng’s face turned red with fury, an anger surging up like never before, facing such immense humiliation, especially from a young loose cultivator who despised and shamed him right to his face.

If he swallowed this insult, wouldn’t that make him no different from a shrinking turtle?

Xu Yan had to die!

“You brat Xu Yan, no matter who’s backing you up, today you must…”

Song Zeng gritted his teeth, his hand gripping his sword, gathering a strand of Domain Power, ready to strike like thunder and kill the detestable youth on the stage.

But suddenly, his expression drastically changed, and he looked up at a certain place—an aura, barely detectable, had locked onto him, overwhelming him with a strong sense of danger.

At the same time, the Thousand Martial Lord moved, appearing above the clouds, with a solemn expression and eyes full of vigilance.

Within the Sects of Thousand Martial Hall, a powerful force was accumulating, ready to be unleashed.

Song Zeng moved swiftly back to the Sects of Thousand Martial Hall, standing with the Elders, looking up at the sky with a very grave expression.

Xu Yan was surprised for a moment, was that really the nature of this man, not to fight back?

Immediately, a thought struck him, and he too looked towards that certain place.

“How strong!”

At that moment, he felt a chill in his heart.

“Far stronger than Huang Liang, if that person takes action, aside from my mentor’s Divine Skill Jade Talisman, escaping would be difficult.”

At that moment, Xu Yan had to take things seriously.

“My strength is still too weak, even without reaching the Divine Skill Realm, just being in the Great Achievement of Divine Origin Realm, I wouldn’t fear such a powerhouse.”

With his keen senses, he sensed the great Domain Power gathering in mid-air; this was no longer just a mere condensation of the Domain Spirit Spark, using the Domain Spirit Spark to gather a strand of Domain Power.

“Could it be the Power of Domain Laws?”

Xu Yan wondered to himself.

Above the clouds, a man resembling a schoolteacher, with a book in one hand engrossed in reading, and a ruler in the other, completely ignored the grim-faced Thousand Martial Lord.

“Wu Tianan!”

The Thousand Martial Lord, through gritted teeth and coldly said, “You dare come to my Thousand Martial Hall, aren’t you afraid of being suppressed right here?”

Wu Tianan flipped a page with his ruler, smiling as he said, “You are welcome to try, my presence here is to oversee if the rules of the competition between the proud talents are being followed.

“After all, the Thousand Martial Hall is known to be the most shameless, everyone knows, even that young friend down there.”

“Hmph, we’ll see how long you can stay arrogant!”

The Thousand Martial Lord snorted coldly.

Wu Tianan’s appearance here confirmed that Xu Yan’s backer was undoubtedly him.

The Thousand Martial Lord returned to the Sects of Thousand Martial Hall, and said gravely, “Wu Tianan has arrived, and if Xu Yan is his disciple, otherwise why would he directly come to our gate to challenge us?

“Let the talented individuals from the three nations’ seven sects and eight families come forward; a generous reward for defeating the talent Xu Yan, no restrictions within Thousand Martial State!”

The Thousand Martial Lord commanded with a somber face.

“Yes, Lord!”

The Elders felt a chill in their hearts.

Above the clouds, Wu Tianan also looked puzzled, “Xu Yan’s Sword Dao, why is it so mysterious, unheard of, where does his lineage come from?”

A mere loose cultivator, directly challenging the gates of Thousand Martial Hall, where did he get such audacity and courage from.

Even the previous Blood Spirit Child wasn’t this wildly arrogant!

The news of Xu Yan setting up a challenge stage at the gates of the Thousand Martial Hall and challenging the talents of Thousand Martial State was spreading at an astonishing speed.

The entire Thousand Martial State was shaken, everyone was stunned, wondering who Xu Yan was, why so audacious, why so bold.

What was even more incredible was that the Thousand Martial Hall, while initially supressing Xu Yan with thunderous methods, conceded to his challenge in front of their gates.

“Xu Yan, don’t be arrogant, the talented individuals of the Upper Sect of the Thousand Martial Hall, how could you challenge them? Today, I have come to cut you down!”

A figure came speeding over.
