C72 You Are All Trash!

Within the concealed chamber of the Grade A Cultivation Room, several elders of the Flying Cloud Sect, along with the man from before, were intently observing a mysterious crystal ball. The scenes unfolding within the crystal ball were none other than those occurring inside the Cultivation Room itself.

This was the famed Heavenly Eye, a device that allowed them to witness everything transpiring within the Cultivation Room.

The man scrutinizing the crystal ball was none other than the Sect Master of the Flying Cloud Sect. He was focused intently on the orb, determined to uncover who had triggered the anomaly in the Cultivation Room.

His gaze inadvertently fell upon Yu Kun. By now, Yu Kun had ingested all the materials needed to condense his Martial Soul, and he had done so successfully.

The Sect Master raised an eyebrow and remarked, "I don't recall ever seeing this disciple before."

Standing behind him were the same elders who had been present at the Test Square. They exchanged glances before Han Guangming stepped forward and introduced, "This disciple's name is Yu Kun, a newcomer to the Inner Sect."

"A new disciple?" he murmured to himself before inquiring, "Whose disciple is he?"

Zhou Xingtian appeared reluctant to reveal the truth, but Han Guangming was forthright, stating, "He is a disciple of Hee Dongqing."

"Hee Dongqing!" The Sect Master's pupils constricted with a flash of surprise.

But the surprise was fleeting. He pressed on, "Why did he choose to become Hee Dongqing's disciple? He must realize that being mentored by an Elder is not just about learning; it's also about building a solid foundation for his future. Choosing the right Elder could not only expand his network of peers but also greatly benefit his cultivation!"

After a brief pause, he added pointedly, "Elder Hee does not deserve him."

The consensus among the elders was clear. Elder Hee, whose cultivation had been destroyed, had no business taking on disciples. Moreover, it was the Sect Master himself who had stripped Elder Hee of his powers!

This time, Han Guangming held back from explaining further and instead turned to the others.

With a soft sigh, Zhou Xingtian relayed Yu Kun's story to the Sect Master.

The Sect Master listened, his expression revealing a hint of surprise.

"He bested Inner Sect disciples as an elite disciple and secured first place in the first two rounds of the Inner Sect trials? If he's capable of condensing a Martial Soul, even the weakest one, his potential is bound to be extraordinary!"

He shook his head with a sigh, his expression one of sorrow for Yu Kun's fate.

Then, he spun the crystal ball, redirecting his attention to another Cultivation Room. Clearly, after listening to Zhou Xingtian, he was convinced that Yu Kun was not the source of the earlier commotion.

Unbeknownst to Yu Kun, he had been observed by the Sect Master of the Flying Cloud Sect through the Heavenly Eye.

Exiting the Cultivation Room, Yu Kun's fists were clenched, his eyes gleaming with determination.

In just a few hours, Yu Kun had undergone a transformation. He had successfully condensed his Martial Soul and ascended to the Soul Refining Stage. His Astral Energy was now more abundant than ever, a vast ocean compared to the river it once was.

"Maybe I'm not yet on par with elite Inner Sect disciples like the Little Prince, but I can take on those five ordinary disciples at once without breaking a sweat!" Yu Kun mused, stepping confidently out of the Cultivation Room.

He reached the ground to find the same Inner Sect disciples who had earlier harassed him had not left.

"You're still here?" Yu Kun scoffed, tightening his grip.

The group was initially taken aback, then turned to Yu Kun with mocking sneers.

"You actually have the nerve to show your face!"

"Just because Little Prince gave you a hand, you think you're somebody? Without him here, you're nothing!"

"I can't believe you had the guts to come out! With Little Prince gone, it's our turn to put you in your place!"

Among them, Liang Qi was seething with anger. He had been humiliated by Little Prince because of Yu Kun.

Convinced that Little Prince was absent, Liang Qi wasted no time and launched a punch at Yu Kun.

Yet, Liang Qi didn't bother to summon his Martial Soul, clearly underestimating Yu Kun.

"Think you can hurt me without your Martial Soul? Dream on!"

With a cold snort, Yu Kun deflected with a swift palm strike, sending Liang Qi hurtling through the air.

Liang Qi was plastered against the wall by the force of Yu Kun's Astral Energy, sliding down like a discarded poster.

Liang Qi hit the ground, his face draining of color in shock. "How is he so powerful? He's only using Astral Energy, yet I can't even defend against it!"

The others snapped to attention, still shaken as they hurriedly suggested, "We should attack him together! He's incredibly strong. He once killed Chen Feng, an Inner Sect disciple, when he was still an elite disciple!"

The Inner Sect disciples around him nodded in agreement and launched their attacks, this time infusing the power of their Martial Souls.

"Do you really think you can defeat me by simply invoking your Martial Souls?" Yu Kun chuckled to himself. "Perfect, I'll take this opportunity to test out the strength of my Leviathan-roc Martial Soul!"

With an effortless gesture, the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul materialized behind him.

The Inner Sect disciples froze at the sight of the shadowy figure looming behind Yu Kun.

"A Martial Soul!"

"How does he possess a Martial Soul?"

"Is this some kind of trick?"

"What Martial Soul is that?"

But their astonishment was short-lived. Yu Kun channeled the Leviathan-roc's power, and his Astral Energy struck the Inner Sect disciples in an instant.

They attempted to muster their own Astral Energy, only to be met with a horrifying realization.

"What's happening? Why can't I channel my Astral Energy?"

"It's as if my Astral Energy has been blocked by something!"

"I can't even connect with my Astral Energy!"

Before they could process the situation, Yu Kun's slaps sent them flying, tumbling across the ground just like Liang Qi had.

Yu Kun dusted off his hands nonchalantly, yet inwardly, he was astounded.

"The Leviathan-roc Martial Soul is truly fearsome! Once I've summoned it, I can effortlessly siphon the Astral Energy from others to bolster my own Martial Arts. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to send Liang Qi flying with such an effortless flick. Moreover, I can extinguish their Astral Energy before they even have a chance to strike!"

In that moment, Yu Kun couldn't help but admire the formidable nature of the Leviathan-roc Martial Soul.

Against the might of the Leviathan-roc, these martial artists were as helpless as children, utterly powerless.

A chill settled on Yu Kun's features as he gazed down at the Inner Sect disciples.

"I must say, you're in for a disappointment. My strength far exceeds your wildest imaginations."

Yu Kun let out a scornful laugh and declared, "Next time you dare to challenge me, remember that my power is beyond your wildest imagination!"

With that, Yu Kun turned on his heel and strode away without a backward glance.

Liang Qi and his companions were a mix of embarrassment and rage. Yet, with their Astral Energy sealed by Yu Kun's formidable Leviathan-roc Martial Soul, they were powerless to stop him using mere physical strength and could only watch him walk away.

It took a while before Liang Qi's Astral Energy returned, and he exploded in anger, "Damn it! How on earth did he manage to condense a Martial Soul?"

"That had to be a trick of the mind! I refuse to believe it! The Flying Cloud Tower can't be wrong. There's no way Yu Kun could have condensed a Martial Soul!"
