True Martial World

Chapter 253: Defeating Li Hong

In the arena, Li Hong looked at the Heaven Opening Mountain that had been split into two, it was as if he had lost his soul.

As for Yang Dingkun, who bragged about mastering the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ in five months, he grasped his seat’s armrests tightly with his hands until his fingers turned white.

“Radiant Sun Qi…Radiant Sun Qi! Has he mastered the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!?”

Two months ago, when Yi Yun managed to obtain some glory points due to his tremendous luck, he had been ridiculed for exchanging them for the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’. A hick had actually wanted to cultivate the royal family’s secret technique.

But now, all those people who had ridiculed Yi Yun could no longer say anything. Not only did Yi Yun master the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’, he had also succeeded in forming the Tang Valley stage of Radiant Sun Qi!

In just two months, Yi Yun shamed Qin Haotian, Luo Huo’er, Li Xiao and all the geniuses that hogged the top spots on the Heaven and Earth rolls in the Tai Ah Divine City in terms of cultivating the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!

Li Hong looked at Yi Yun as he clenched his fists. He was a genius with a wide circle of connections. Everyone said he was a dragon amongst people and that he was destined for great things. He had mastered the ‘Heaven Opening Technique’, a top three technique in the Tai Ah Divine City. It was an outstanding result, but now it was a joke compared to Yi Yun’s mastering of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ in two months.

Before the battle, he tried to imagine Yi Yun’s hidden cards and he guessed that the most that Yi Yun had was a few hidden saber moves. He never expected that Yi Yun’s hidden strength was the Radiant Sun Qi!

“You…mastered the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’…before the competition?” Li Hong gnashed his teeth as he said it. He suddenly realized that Yi Yun had laid a trap for him from the beginning. It was trap for him to jump into.

Yi Yun said, “That’s right. I managed to master the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ before the rookie competition. But you don’t have to think so highly of yourself. I did not reveal all my strength not because of you. The main reason was for me to hone my saber moves. I only learned my saber moves after the rookie competition began. I just needed opponents to refine it. Whether it was Qiuniu or Chu Xiaoran, they were the best amongst the rookies. So I benefited greatly by sparring with them.”

“As for laying a trap for you…It was just in passing. I did not expect that not only did you use dragon scale runes as stake, you even bet a ‘Truth of the Laws’ book.”

Yi Yun did not need to take the opponents before Liu Yuxing seriously. They were not qualified to hone Yi Yun’s saber skills. Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran were the perfect candidates to test his Saber Truth’s 32 Words.

After Yi Yun said that, he casually glanced at the audience. Yang Dingkun, who was standing in the corner of the spectator stands, had a grim expression.

Yi Yun had treated him as a sucker! The sarcastic tone was harsh on Yang Dingkun’s ears.

Yang Dingkun clenched his fists as killing intent flashed in his eyes!

Yi Yun had seen all of it.

Before, as Yi Yun was waiting to go on to the stage, Zhao Qingcheng had already pointed Yang Dingkun out to Yi Yun. Yi Yun had recognized this Chu royal residence’s little prince who tried to take advantage of the situation to profit by cheating him.

Yi Yun did not fear Yang Dingkun. Although the Chu royal residence was part of the royal family, it was only a distant relation of the royal family. They had a high noble title and they were powerful, but even so, a young master from the Chu royal residence had limited power.

How many people were there in the younger generation of the Chu royal residence? It was not easy to count.

The current King Chu had already lived for a thousand years. In a thousand years, how many wives did he marry? How many children did he have? Even King Chu himself might not remember.

It was hard to count the bastard children, legitimate children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren even if they were all added up.

Yang Dingkun was only one of the better ones of the younger generation, but he was not a greatly appreciated child of King Chu, because he was not the heir.

This was why Yang Dingkun had to use gambling as a way to obtain the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ from his bet with Yi Yun. He could not rely on the Chu royal residence, which resulted in him machinating his own schemes.
