C23 Breaking Through the Sixth Step

Back in the small courtyard.

Only in his own home did Ling Yun feel warm and calm for a moment.

Looking at the proud smile on his parents' face, Ling Yun felt that all his hard work and hard work were worth it.

After a simple yet warm dinner with his parents, Ling Yun started a new round of cultivation.

In the small courtyard, Ling Yun sat cross-legged. In front of him, there were five top-grade Thunder Stone slowly revolving around him.

Each and every one of the Thunder Stone was from a Gold Devouring Thunder Lizard above the sixth level of the Human Stage. They contained an enormous amount of thunder attributed vitality.

"My Cultivation Level has already touched the peak of the fifth stage of Human Essence Stage, and will soon break through to the sixth stage. When I break through to the sixth stage, even if Ling Yu breaks through to the seventh stage, I still won't be afraid."

"Holy Thunder Misfortune-crossing Spell, refine."

Ling Yun shouted from the bottom of his heart and the Holy Thunder Misfortune-crossing Spell instantly started to circulate. A terrifying suction force continuously came out from his body, causing the five top-grade Thunder Stone to continuously disintegrate into threads after threads of lightning attributed Essence that floated into his body.

As time passed, an extremely tyrannical aura of lightning gradually came from Ling Yun's body. In fact, the air around him produced "crackling" sounds of tiny electric currents, which were like tiny electric dragons that were constantly produced and annihilated.

"..."

Night gradually enveloped the land.

Deep into the night, Ling Yun sat cross-legged under the dim starlight.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Two substantial bolts of lightning shot out from his eyes and disappeared into the distance.

"The sixth stage of Human Essence Stage, succeeded!"

With a thought, a terrifying energy phenomenon appeared behind Ling Yun. There were more than sixty flood dragon silhouettes dancing madly in the sky with an astonishing momentum.

"There are still several hours until the start of tomorrow's competition. I have already mastered the first move of the Angry Dragon Fist, and today, my goal is to master the second move."

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

"..."

In the dead of night, in the middle of the small courtyard, muffled sounds of fists piercing through the silence were heard one after another, slowly spreading in the darkness.

Fortunately, Ling Yun's family of three lived in a secluded courtyard so they wouldn't disturb anyone.

"First form of the Angry Dragon Fist, Overturning the River!"

The muscles on Ling Yun's arms were knotted like steel as his Qi and blood and Thunder Yuan violently vibrated. Immediately, an arm-thick red dragon shadow was sent out and exploded in the air. The energy ripple that it created reached an area of dozens of meters.

If Ling Yun didn't control his power on purpose, this punch could have turned his family's yard into ruins.

"All the martial skills and weapons related to dragons have a powerful might. Although the Angry Dragon Fist has a 'dragon' character, its power far surpasses that of ordinary quasi-Earth Rank martial skills, and has allowed me to increase the power of eight Flood Dragons to sixty-nine Flood Dragons, chasing straight towards the peak of the seventh stage of the Human Essence Stage."

"This is only the first move of the Angry Dragon Fist. When I master the second move too, the explosive power will be even stronger!"

"Heh, second move of the Angry Dragon Fist, Hidden Dragon rises from the Abyss."

"..."

Ling Yun was completely immersed in his cultivation. Unknowingly, an entire night had passed.

"..."

On the Ling Family's martial stage.

In succession, the martial arena was already packed with spectators of Ling Family s. There were even people from other clans in Thunder City s who were mixed in the crowd. They were all here to watch the side branch preliminaries' competition.

"That is the direct descendant genius of the Ling Prefecture. Today, this match has actually alarmed him."

"Look, even Ling Ge has come. I heard that he is one of the top three hottest contestants in this year's competition."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Little Princess!" Little Princess Ling Nanqin is here. Is she interested in this competition as well? "

In the end, when Lili came to the martial arts practice field, it brought the crowd's mood to a small climax.

The atmosphere in the martial arts practice field was getting hotter and hotter.

"Ling Yu is here!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and Ling Yu, dressed in his glory attire, jumped up onto the Battle Platform.

"Where's Ling Yun?" Hurry up and accept your death! "

Ling Yu's face was twisted, his eyes were filled with killing intent, he looked around at the Battle Platform and roared.

However …

The surroundings became silent, but Ling Yun did not appear.

"Ling Yun!" Come out here, are you scared? " Ling Yu roared again.

The training field fell into a deathly silence, but Ling Yun still hadn't appeared.

In the end, even the referee couldn't stand watching anymore. He said loudly, "Where is Ling Yun, he's not going up the stage yet!"

Hm? Ling Yun really didn't come, so everyone's eyes were filled with questions.

The most important, and also the most important, side finals had begun. However, Ling Yun, who was one of the main characters, had disappeared without a trace.

"Where did Ling Yun go?"

"He can't really be afraid of Ling Yu, right?"

"I think Ling Yun is afraid. He has destroyed Ling Yu's woman Ling Yuying's face. Ling Yu said yesterday that he would take revenge on him in the finals. If he doesn't appear today, he might be afraid of Ling Yu's threat."

"Even though Ling Yun's dark horse is strong, it is still far from being as powerful as Ling Yu, the genius of the side branch. After all, Ling Yu is not like Ling Ping or Ling Yuying, he is a true expert of the seventh stage of Human Essence Stage."

"Hehe, I thought Ling Yun was someone special, but I didn't expect him to be just a coward."

"How boring. He made us wait here early in the morning, but he admitted defeat. Pui!"

The referee was getting impatient from waiting. He looked at the sundial and said with a frown, "The finals are about to start. Ling Yun will not appear. Even if he gives up, I'll wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

With that, the referee sent someone to place a small incense in the middle of the Battle Platform.

"Pipa!"

Everyone was staring at the thin piece of rosin in the middle of the Battle Platform, seemingly able to hear the sound of the rosin slowly burning.

Soon, only a small piece of the pine incense was left.

Just when the rosin was about to burn out, Ling Yu coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, does he think that I will let that trash Ling Yun off just because he's hiding and not fighting? "I have to kill him. He can hide from the first day, but he can't hide from the fifteenth …"

"Who said I wanted to avoid battle?"

"I will definitely win this battle."

Suddenly, a clear and loud voice came from outside the crowd.

"Boom!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd. Then, the crowd automatically opened up a path, and a handsome youth wearing a clean green robe appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"He actually came!"

"F * ck, he really dares to come. Isn't he afraid that Ling Yu will kill him?"

"Good boy, I misunderstood him. Just based on his appearance, he has the guts to accept the challenge!"

"Did you hear that? Ling Yun said that he will win for sure! "

"Although I don't know where his confidence came from, at least I admire his spirit."

In the midst of the messy discussion, Ling Yun met Ling Yu's eyes that seemed like they were going to eat a person, and calmly walked onto the Battle Platform.

"Ling Yun!"

"You finally came to die."

Ling Yu's gaze was like a cold venomous snake, staring unwaveringly at Ling Yun and letting out an explosive sound from his mouth.
