C11 Seven segments of brass
"Bang!"
The flaming broadsword in Bi Yingxun's hand fiercely hacked at Yang Junyi's shield. With just one attack, the defensive Bronze-ranked shield instantly collapsed.
From this, one could see the gap between the seventh and the fifth phase!
Although the shield guard was defeated by Bi Yingxun, Yang Junyi was unharmed. Rather than saying that the shield guard was defeated by Bi Yingxun, it would be more appropriate to say that Yang Junyi relied on the shield to block Bi Yingxun's attack.
Taking advantage of the moment when the shield armor was broken apart, Yang Junyi swept out his broadsword, aiming it at Bi Yingxun's waist. The sharp sword edge drew an elegant arc in the air without any obstruction.
The blade missed.
"This is bad!"
Yang Junyi thought to himself as he activated his Earth Spear Stab.
"Tutu! Tutu!" Four earth spikes emerged from the ground beneath Yang Junyi's feet.
The Guardian of Shield Armor condensed once again.
"Bam!"
A heavy blow landed on Yang Junyi's side, shattering the shield the moment it was condensed into a shield.
"Gaga, you're finished!"
Bi Yingxun's laughter was like that of a ghost's. His body was like a fiend's, and the flames of war on his body burned wildly. Flames boiled, sparks churned, as if he wanted to burn the entire world to ashes.
"It's over!"
Under the martial arena, the spectating students looked at the ten-meter-long fire field and knew that today's battle was over.
No one was able to withstand the berserk fire of a fire element cultivator without being able to defend themselves.
The rest of the team had already been prepared, so they were waiting for the duel to end.
Ah ah ah ah!
Just when everyone was waiting for Yang Junyi to be defeated and for the battle to end, a shrill scream came from within the fire field. Then, "Pa Pa Pa", a continuous sound of flesh colliding rang out like the roar of firecrackers.
The surrounding people looked at each other, not knowing what had just happened. The blazing fire in the arena gradually shrank before finally dissipating.
"This... How is that possible? "
"F * ck, am I dreaming?"
The people in the arena cried out in alarm.
In the middle of the arena, a great sword stood upside down, as if it were an eternal game of chess. Beside it, Yang Junyi was standing proudly. The 'Shield Protector' floating around him was glowing with a dazzling orange light.
Feeling the undisguised battle qi fluctuations of Yang Junyi, the entire arena fell into silence.
That aura had already reached the strength of a Stage Seven Bronze.
The onlookers couldn't help but feel shocked. Two months ago, 'Yang Junyi' was merely a fifth stage Brass Cultivator. But now, he had already reached the seventh stage.
It had only been two months, yet his strength had increased by two levels. How could this not be shocking!
In the martial arena, Zhuang Xinhui, Xu Yueru, and Lin Wanxia were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.
"Is this still that coward Yang Junyi?" Lin Wan Xia looked at Yang Junyi, who was like a god of war, with an incredulous expression on her face. She shook her head vigorously, wiped her eyes, and looked at Yang Junyi in shock.
Although Zhuang Xinhui and Xu YueRui were not as exaggerated as Lin Wan Xia, they were not any better. As they looked at Yang Junyi's beautiful eyes, they revealed a strange expression.
There were tens of thousands of students within the Skycloud Academy, but only ten of them had reached the ninth level of the Bronze grade while only a few of them had reached the seventh or eighth level. It could be said that the current Qiu Yelan was considered one of the strongest students within the Skycloud Academy.
The battle qi around his body dispersed and the protective shield was removed. Yang Junyi then drew his broadsword and carried it on his shoulder as he walked out of the arena.
"Ah, convalescent team, hurry up and save them!"
Only when Yang Junyi walked out of the arena did the crowd remember that there was still one more person.
Poor Bi Yingxun had been beaten until he was forced to kneel on the ground, with no one lacking in interest.
"What do you think?" Min Qing asked as he watched Yang Junyi leave.
"Hehe, interesting!"
Ren Hongyun's lips curved into a smile as he pointed out, "Do you think that will be his full strength?"
"I don't know." Min Qing shook his head.
Ren Hongyun looked at the now finished arena and muttered as if he was deep in thought, "I keep on feeling that if he still has something to rely on, then what is it?"
When the crowd heard Ren Hongyun's mutterings, they too began to ponder.
"Xiu Wei, with your fifth phase strength, are you able to release battle skills as fluently and proficiently as he does? Ren Hongyun suddenly asked Gong Xiuwei.
Hearing this, everyone looked towards Gong Xiuwei.
Gong Xiuwei's expression was heavy as he said bitterly, "With just the strength of the fifth phase, I am unable to accomplish this!"
For a moment, the nine fell silent.
Yang Junyi did not know that his departure had attracted the attention of an expert fighter.
After that, everything returned to normal.
Yang Junyi's life was very simple. At three o'clock in the morning, he would carry a notebook to class without any hindrances. After class, he stayed in the library all the way until evening, and then he went to the Mercenary Guild to receive quests.
Time flashed by. Unknowingly, another month had passed.
The effect that these few seemingly ordinary months had on Yang Junyi was truly enormous.
Initially, Yang Junyi felt helpless and wronged when he crossed over to this world. After the two beatings with Bi Yingxun, he had vented his anger and arrogance. But now, Yang Junyi had only left a deep sense of loneliness.
In this strange world, no one could understand him.
No one could talk to him.
After all, the effects of his appointment were still being spread throughout the entire Skycloud Academy. Who would be willing to get close to him?
Thus, Yang Junyi became cold and aloof.
This temperament was accompanied by Yang Junyi's increasingly murderous intent as he accepted missions in the Mercenary Guild.
Right now, Yang Junyi was sitting alone in the classroom. This caused people to feel a heavy sense of oppression, and this made Yang Junyi, who was originally unpopular with other students, become even more distant.
"Hey, benevolent. Do you feel that Yang Junyi is becoming more and more indifferent, making people feel that it's difficult to get close to him?"
Xu YueRu sneaked a glance at Yang Junyi before stopping the notebook in her hand. She tilted her head and whispered to Zhuang Xinhui.
"I feel the same way. That coldness is getting stronger and stronger, making me feel despondent."
Lin Wan, who was standing at the side, agreed.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xinhui stopped the notes in her hand and looked at Yang Junyi with her beautiful eyes.
Speaking of which, only Zhuang Xinhui, Xu Yueru, and Lin Wan Xia could clearly feel the changes in Yang Junyi's body.
Originally, Xu Yueru and Lin Changxia had only felt that their best friend was unfair, but now they were hostile towards Yang Junyi.
This kind of hostility followed Yang Junyi's actions. The disparity between the two girls was truly inconceivable, so they paid extra attention to it.
Unexpectedly, as time went by, the more attention they paid to Yang Junyi, the more curious and mysterious they felt towards him. Unknowingly, he had been gradually attracted by Qiu Yelan.
As for Zhuang Xinhui, she originally held neither love nor hatred towards Yang Junyi.
As the saying goes, the depth of one's love is deep, and one would hate it as much as the depth of one's love.
On the other hand, there was no hatred, and no nostalgia.
Zhuang Xinhui only treated Yang Junyi as a complete stranger. As for their previous relationship, she only laughed it off.
That young girl was not in love?
Zhuang Xinhui was very clear on this point. In fact, her and Yang Junyi's relationship had only just begun; both of them had only developed to the point of holding hands. When love was at its most beautiful and concentrated, it was abandoned by Yang Junyi and was directly confronted with death.
With Zhuang Xinhui's attitude, she would definitely not pay too much attention to Yang Junyi.
Unfortunately, the enmity between the two girls towards Yang Junyi caused the two girls to comment on his every action and every action. After learning about them for a long time, she also became curious about the changes in Yang Junyi's body.
In such a situation, the three girls were unconsciously influenced by Yang Junyi while observing him. It turned out that the act of accompanying her best friend to class had become a private lesson for her. He also recorded down the content of the instructor's lecture.
In private, the three women also made many guesses and speculations about Yang Junyi's actions. It was only during a sparring match between the three women that they discovered that they understood the behavior and rhythm of the other cultivators. Furthermore, they easily defeated them. Only then did they suddenly realize the mystery behind it.
As a result, the three women paid more attention to Yang Junyi.
