The Test of the Pavilion began at noon. After breakfast, Ye Tian joined hands with Yun'er and Duan Liu to meet Cold Moon, and together they headed to Cloudscroll Pavilion.
Upon arriving at Cloudscroll Pavilion, there was no lively scene to be found. A chilly atmosphere filled the entire Rolling Cloud Peak.
In the past, such an important event as the Test of the Pavilion would have drawn a massive crowd to Cloudscroll Pavilion. However, due to the disaster caused by Elder Dou four months ago, this was the current situation.
Of course, even though the Lords of the other four pavilions and some renowned disciples still came to watch, because the Test of the Pavilion at Cloudscroll Pavilion was essentially a battle for recognition between Ye Tian and Li Xun. Both were top figures among the younger generation of Cloud Sea Sect, so this battle naturally stirred many hearts.
For instance, Thunderstorm from Cloud-Drifting Pavilion, Yue Lingwei from Falling Cloud Pavilion, Himeka Myou from Azure Cloud Pavilion, and Chai Shi, who had previously lost to Ye Tian, all attended.
Yet even so, this peak competition among the young elites only attracted a few dozen spectators.
As noon arrived, Xuanyuan Changfeng announced that the Test of the Pavilion officially began.
The Test of the Pavilion was conducted through a drawing of lots. Over the past four months, Cloudscroll Pavilion had recruited a few new disciples, but their numbers were limited to just over a hundred. After drawing lots, the matches quickly commenced.
Ye Tian's first opponent was a rather small and thin Newly Accepted Disciple. They appeared to be of similar age. During the match, Ye Tian frequently held back, while his opponent foolishly hoped to make a name for himself through this battle. In the end, Ye Tian grew impatient and swiftly defeated him without any surprises, advancing to the next round.
In contrast to Ye Tian's restraint, Li Xun was much more aggressive. He had thought that Ye Tian would be severely punished for betraying their sect; instead, not only was he released without guilt, but he also intentionally delayed the Test of the Pavilion until now for his sake.
Feeling agitated inside, Li Xun struck hard against his opponent, who ended up suffering greatly—not only was he defeated in an instant but also sustained serious injuries.
Xuanyuan Changfeng frowned slightly, thinking that Li Xun's temperament was becoming increasingly violent; if this continued, something bad might happen.
"Old Xuanyuan, do you think Ye Tian can win?" Qin Fufeng leaned over and asked in a betting-like tone.
Xuanyuan Changfeng did not respond—not only because he couldn't say for sure but mainly because he didn't want to engage with his troublesome junior brother Qin Fufeng.
Feeling rebuffed, Qin Fufeng snorted in dissatisfaction and then fell silent.
After half an hour of competition, the first round ended, with half of the hundred participants advancing to the next round, where they would draw lots to determine their opponents.
"Whoever draws Li Xun or Ye Tian is really unlucky," Yue Lingwei muttered to himself.
"They should just face each other directly," someone chimed in.
"I think Li Xun was impressive with those moves earlier, while Ye Tian took forever to win. If they go up against each other, Ye Tian probably won't stand a chance," Chai Shi, also a disciple of Falling Cloud Pavilion, said as he stood with Yue Lingwei and the others. Ever since being defeated by Ye Tian, he had become much more restrained. After the downfall of the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, he seemed to have a tendency for self-improvement, so Yue Lingwei no longer rejected him.
However, after he said this, Yue Lingwei's expression changed slightly as he coldly remarked, "Why are you still holding a grudge?"
Chai Shi chuckled awkwardly and replied, "Brother Yue, it's not that I'm holding a grudge; the facts are right there. Li Xun is at the late stage of the fourth rank of Martial Sovereign, while what level is Ye Tian at?"
Yue Lingwei was momentarily speechless; he couldn't refute it because Chai Shi was stating the truth. As far as he knew, Ye Tian had only entered the Martial Unity Definition just over four months ago. Although he was exceptionally talented, reaching a level capable of competing with Li Xun in such a short time seemed unlikely.
"Sigh, see? This kid always surprises people," Yue Lingwei sighed but was also worried about Ye Tian. Of course, he was unaware that Ye Tian had already broken through to the third rank of the Martial Unity Definition. Otherwise, his expression would have been one of shock, leaving him speechless.
Soon, the bell for the second round rang, and another half hour passed amidst intense battles.
This time, both Ye Tian and Li Xun quickly dealt with their opponents. Although those who made it to the second round were certainly stronger than average, they were still no match for either of them.
Then came the third round, fourth round, fifth round...
In the end, only four participants remained.
The crowd began to anticipate the peak showdown between Li Xun and Ye Tian, which was finally about to begin.
The results of the draw did not disappoint anyone: Ye Tian would face off against Li Xun.
These two matches would be conducted separately, starting first with the other two participants. Their duel concluded without any suspense.
Because one of the two people is Duan Liu.
If he has already reached the seventh stage of Martial Unity Definition and fully activated the power of the Crimson Flame Ape, generally speaking, an ordinary first-stage Martial Sovereign would not be his opponent. Without other secret techniques, one would need extraordinary martial comprehension to possibly contend with him.
Clearly, his opponent was not that kind of person. A late Four-Stage Martial Artist seemed to surpass Duan Liu's level, but they were not even on the same tier.
After defeating his opponent, Duan Liu passed by Ye Tian and patted his shoulder in encouragement.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, feeling calm and composed. With his current third stage of Martial Unity Definition, along with Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and Sixth Spirit Pouch, defeating Li Xun was not a difficult task.
Ding ding ding!
The bell rang. Everyone had come here for this moment, and now it had finally arrived.
Li Xun and Ye Tian each walked onto the stage, their eyes meeting as sparks seemed to fly between them.
"Li Shixiong, please," Ye Tian said after a moment, cupping his hands in respect.
Li Xun did not respond. He was not someone who would put on a show; he knew that Ye Tian's strength could no longer be underestimated. He was no longer the Ye Tian who had just entered the mountain years ago. Therefore, he wouldn't say something like "You're dead today."
Everything would be proven through action; there was no conclusion yet. At this moment, Li Xun regarded Ye Tian as a lifelong rival.
Similarly, Ye Tian felt the same way. Although he now had the means to look down on Li Xun, deep down, he still respected this opponent.
After all, regarding Elder Dou's support, Li Xun chose not to disappoint Xuanyuan Changfeng.
"I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time," Li Xun finally spoke, his eyes shining with intensity.
Looking at Li Xun, who exuded an overwhelming aura, Ye Tian stood solemnly in anticipation; in fact, he had also been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Please!"
Ye Tian made a gesture of invitation, and then, with a thought, the Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power responded to his call, radiating golden light instantly.
After several rounds of confrontation, it was nearly dusk. At this moment, under the glow of the setting sun, Ye Tian resembled a golden war god, dazzling to behold.
Li Xun's pupils slightly constricted. His level of attention towards Ye Tian was far from ordinary; he had privately gathered a lot of information about Ye Tian and knew that he possessed secret techniques.
"Martial Arts of the Battle Body?" Li Xun exclaimed in surprise. None of the information he had collected mentioned that Ye Tian mastered any form of Martial Arts of the Battle Body.
Of course, he did not know that this was not actually Martial Arts of the Battle Body. In fact, the Golden Battle Armor formed by the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood was far more formidable than any Martial Arts of the Battle Body.
"Watch out!"
With a roar, Li Xun had already taken action. No matter what unexpected technique Ye Tian employed today, he had to win.
A brilliant red light erupted from Li Xun's palms, and after a brief glide through the air, it coalesced into a Crimson Spear.
"Piercing the Clouds!"
Accompanied by Li Xun's shout, the long spear formed from red Martial Origin Power aimed directly at Ye Tian's chest and abdomen.
The spear rapidly enlarged in Ye Tian's eyes, an overwhelming killing intent rushing towards him.
Li Xun acted decisively, skipping over any probing techniques, which ignited a fierce passion within Ye Tian.
"Dominant!" he shouted as well, not holding back his praise for Li Xun.
Then, Stormy Winds and Thunder were unleashed. Whispers of lightning gathered on his arms as Ye Tian stomped heavily on the ground with one foot, propelling himself forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked. Ye Tian actually wanted to directly confront the spear formed by Martial Origin Power head-on. Was he out of his mind?
Not to mention the outcome of his head-on clash, just this action alone was extremely irrational.
If he could disperse the Martial Origin Power spear, Li Xun could take the opportunity to strike and gain the upper hand with continuous attacks.
If he couldn't disperse the Martial Origin Power spear, Ye Tian would likely be injured in an instant.
"Truly domineering." Over there, Li Xun also felt a slight chill. His moves were domineering, but Ye Tian's actions were even more so.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Ye Tian's fist collided with the Crimson Spear, brilliant light radiating everywhere as shockwaves surged.
The crowd's guesses were correct; Li Xun seized the opportunity to attack. He let out a low roar, and instantly, he was surrounded by countless Martial Origin Power Qi Blades. Those Qi Blades spun incessantly like a killing machine, their sharpness fully revealed.
Due to the overwhelming brightness, everyone couldn't see Ye Tian's current situation. However, after Li Xun entered the fray, they heard several loud bangs.
Intense shockwaves surged one after another, spreading outward like ripples on a lake surface.
There was no wind at present, but everything within ten zhang of the Square Area was pushed away by the impact. Many disciples with lower cultivation levels had to retreat immediately to avoid being affected. Even disciples of Chai Shi's level needed to circulate their Martial Origin Power to ensure they weren't caught in it.
Xuanyuan Changfeng's white hair moved with the force, and his eyes began to glow with intensity. Ye Tian and Li Xun, his two most favored disciples, truly did not disappoint him.
