Myth Beyond Heaven



"How is it? Is it different from what you've experienced?" Shen Yan glanced at Yun Lintian and asked through a sound transmission.

Yun Lintian replied honestly. "The difference is huge. While the practitioners in the lower realm possess a good amount of strength, the way they utilize their profound arts is much weaker. Taking this Jian Lu, for example. She could release her sword intent without going through a usual energy-circulating routine. This means she found a way to bypass it, which you will never see in those people back in the lower realm."

Shen Yan curled her lips and said teasingly. "Are you afraid now?"

Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing in return.

At this moment, a beautiful young girl jumped onto the stage and clasped her hands together. "The Illustrious Lake Sect's Lan Yu, seventeen years old. Please advise me."

When she appeared on the stage, many young men in the crowd immediately looked at her in admiration. Obviously, Lan Yu had a good reputation for her talent and appearance.

"She looks strange. I don't know what it is. I get this strange feeling from her." Ning Yue whispered softly.

On the side, Qin Mei said. "The Illustrious Lake Sect is well known for their illusion technique. This little girl's appearance is real, but she is masked with a layer of illusion, making one attract to her unknowingly."

"Illusion?" Ning Yue was confused. She had never seen any illusion technique before in her life.

"You will understand in a while," Qin Mei said gently.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a handsome young man leaped onto the stage and landed before Lan Yu. He cupped his fists and said politely. "A wandering practitioner, Li Mu. I've long heard about Fairy Lan's name. Please give me advice."

Lan Yu smiled said softly. "Please."

Li Mu took a deep breath, and his figure charged forward with a purple light that flashed above his right palm. Then, his right fist extended and smashed toward Lan Yu's chest, producing an ear-piercing sound.

Lan Yu didn't move in at all, and there weren't any signs of a defensive posture as she calmly looked at Li Mu's fist reaching her chest.

Seeing this, Li Mu frowned deeply and exerted more strength, aiming to send Lan Yu out of the arena.

However, when his fist touched her chest, it passed through her like she was in the air.

Bang!

Before Li Mu could comprehend the situation, a strong force came from behind and sent him flying before crashing onto the ground outside the arena.

Li Mu wasn't injured much. He crawled up from the ground and looked at Lan Yu in confusion. Even now, he couldn't understand what had just happened.

"Why did he charge in the wrong way?" Ning Yue was stunned by Li Mu's action. Obviously, she saw Li Mu charge in the opposite direction of Lan Yu, and the latter simply pushed him out of the arena.

"The moment the little guy jumped onto the stage, he had already fallen into the illusion world she created." Qin Mei explained. "Unless your mental power is powerful enough, it is very difficult to break her illusion technique."

Ning Yue opened her mouth in shock. She didn't expect there would be such a scary technique like this.

"The problem is that he has a good impression of her. Otherwise, he won't fall into her technique this easily." Yun Lintian added. "I'll teach you how to deal with this kind of technique later. If you could fully understand it, you didn't have to fear any illusion technique in this world."

His words surprised Qin Mei and Zhi Wei. No matter how powerful Yun Lintian was, it should be impossible for him to protect himself against an illusion technique all the time, right?

On the contrary, Shen Yan didn't think Yun Lintian was bragging. The Beyond Heaven King was also known for this aspect, as his successor, Yun Lintian, naturally inherited this side of him.

Lan Yu smiled and turned to the crowd. "Please advise me."

The youngsters in the crowd glanced at each other, and no one dared to go up after witnessing a bizarre scene earlier. They had no confidence in breaking her illusion technique at all.

Seeing that no one came up, Wen Qian announced. "Lan Yu will be temporarily placed in the second rank. Continue."

Lan Yu clasped her hands, expressing her gratitude and returning to her seat.

Swoosh!

As Lan Yu left, Qin Weizhe immediately jumped onto the stage. He cupped his fists and said loudly. "The Qin Clan of the Chu Country's Qin Weizhe. Please advise me."

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was slightly surprised to see Qin Weizhe come up this early.

"It seems he's in a hurry to enter the academy because of you." Qin Mei laughed gently. "But I think he has overestimated himself. This is truly unwise."

As Qin Mei spoke, another young man had already leaped onto the stage from Chu Teng's side.

"The Long River Sect's Ming Kun." The young man said calmly.

Qin Weizhe's expression became solemn. It was as Qin Mei had guessed; he was in a hurry to come up because he was afraid that Yun Lintian would do something to him. As long as he firmly entered the top twenty and became an academy member, he would have protection from the academy, and Yun Lintian won't be able to touch him by then.

However, he had forgotten that there were other disciples of the top five sects left.

"Be careful." Ming Kun said. His figure suddenly swayed and already dashed in Qin Weizhe's direction.

Qin Weizhe's expression sank as both of his arms abruptly drew a half circle toward his front. His aura abruptly burst forth as golden light around his arms. 

"Golden Sun Art!"

The golden light around Qin Weizhe's arms suddenly exploded, transforming into a golden energy blast.

Ming Kun's silhouette disappeared as he came in contact with the golden energy blast in front of him before reappearing behind Qin Weizhe. He quickly stuck his fist, which was covered with a water serpent, toward Qin Weizhe's back.

However, Qin Weizhe seemed to expect this beforehand. He stomped his right foot on the ground, and his body abruptly turned around, bringing the golden blast along with him.

Bang!

Two forces collided, and both of them were sent flying, backflipping several times in the air before landing on the ground. Traces of blood could be seen at the corners of their mouths.

Their first exchange ended up with a draw!
