A deafening roar of cheers swept across the entire training ground like a tsunami, and countless fervent, shocked, and incredulous gazes focused on that slightly slender figure.

Su Han was repeatedly tossed into the air by the disciples of Tianya Peak. With each fall, he could feel the fervent fervor and support from their hearts. A helpless smile appeared on his pale face. The empty star power in his body and the tearing sensation from his meridians made him realize how severe the backlash from that "Heaven-Opening" sword strike was.

But he won.

Despite everyone's skepticism, he single-handedly shattered the "Soaring to the Clouds" technique of Ye Wuhen, the number one young talent of the Qingyun Sect, with his peak Star Wheel Realm cultivation, silencing all doubts.

"Alright, put him down now."

Elder Lin's voice came through, carrying an undisguised excitement and concern. The disciples then carefully set Su Han down, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at him.

Elder Lin strode to Su Han's side, placed a large hand on his shoulder, and the pure and gentle star power flowed into Su Han's body like hot spring water, nourishing his damaged meridians.

"You brat, you were too reckless!" Elder Lin scolded, but his eyes were full of relief and lingering fear. "That sword strike just now almost drained your source star power. If it weren't for your solid foundation, your cultivation level would probably have dropped!"

Feeling the warm star energy within his body, Su Han felt a surge of warmth in his heart and smiled, "Elder, it's alright. How will we know if we can win if we don't give it a try?"

"You..." Elder Lin shook his head, then said seriously, "Don't speak yet. Focus on circulating your cultivation technique and I will help you heal. Although you defeated Ye Wuhen, the martial arts competition is not over yet. The ranking battle for the top ten is the real highlight."

Su Han nodded, said no more, closed his eyes, and silently circulated the cultivation path of the "Tianya Sword Manual" to guide the star power that Elder Lin had transferred in to repair his injuries.

Meanwhile, the disciples of Qingyun Peak were also scrambling to help Ye Wuhen off the stage.

Ye Wuhen was in even worse condition than Su Han. His clothes were torn to shreds, revealing an inner armor that shimmered with a faint light. The inner armor was covered in cracks, clearly having blocked a fatal blow for him at the last moment. Otherwise, Su Han's sword would have been enough to severely injure or even kill him.

His face was deathly pale, blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Su Han, who was healing not far away, with complicated eyes. He said bitterly, "What a Tianya Kaitian... I didn't lose unjustly."

"Senior Brother, are you alright?" a disciple of Qingyun Peak asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, just a backlash from the star energy. He'll be fine after a few days of recuperation." Ye Wuhen waved his hand, but his gaze never left Su Han. "I didn't expect that Tianya Peak, after a hundred years of dormancy, would produce such a monstrous talent. To have such combat power at the peak of the Star Wheel Realm, what will he do if he breaks through to the Star Palace Realm..."

He didn't say anything more, but the Qingyun Peak disciples around him all understood what he meant, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

Ye Wuhen was a once-in-a-century genius of the Qingyun Sect, with a cultivation level in the late stage of the Star Palace Realm, enough to crush his peers. But today, he was defeated, defeated by a junior brother whose cultivation was a whole realm lower than his.

This was undoubtedly a bombshell dropped within the Qingyun Sect.

The atmosphere on the high platform was equally subtle.

Yun Qingzi stroked his beard and laughed heartily, the wrinkles on his face smoothing out, his eyes gleaming: "Excellent! Excellent, Su Han! This young man not only possesses unparalleled talent in swordsmanship, but his willpower is also incomparably resolute. That sword strike has already touched the threshold of the laws of space, although it is only a superficial understanding, it is enough to astound the world!"

He glanced at Ling Xiaotian, whose face was ashen, and laughed, "Junior Brother Ling, it seems that the first place in this martial arts competition will fall to Tianya Peak. Truly, the younger generation is formidable." Ling Xiaotian snorted coldly, his fist clenched tightly in his sleeve, his nails digging deep into his palm. He had gone to great lengths to ensure that Chiyang Peak surpassed Tianya Peak, even secretly supporting Ling Tian in suppressing Su Han, but he never expected Su Han to have grown to this level.

"Sect Master, it's too early to say that." Ling Xiaotian's voice was icy. "Although Su Han defeated Ye Wuhen, that sword strike was clearly his trump card, and it consumed a great deal of energy. Now he is seriously injured, and it is still unknown whether he can recover in the upcoming ranking battles. Moreover, Ye Wuhen is not the only expert among the top ten."

"Oh?" Yun Qingzi gave him a half-smile. "Junior Brother Ling seems to have some reservations about Su Han?"

Ling Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly composed himself, saying in a deep voice, "Sect Master, you misunderstand. I'm just stating the facts. Su Han is a gifted young man, a blessing to our Qingyun Sect. However, it's not necessarily a good thing for a young man to be too sharp; he still needs more tempering."

"Hardship is natural, but the rewards that deserve them must not be missed," Yun Qingzi said meaningfully. Then, ignoring Ling Xiaotian, he turned his gaze back to the arena and announced loudly, "The martial arts competition will be suspended for one hour to give Su Han and Ye Wuhen time to heal. After one hour, the top ten ranking battles will begin!"

As Yun Qingzi finished speaking, the entire training ground erupted in cheers once again.

Top 10 ranking battle!
This is the most exciting part of the Qingyun Sect Martial Arts Tournament. Those who make it into the top ten are all future pillars of the sect, and they will engage in even fiercer battles for higher rankings and sect rewards.

Su Han, this dark horse who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Do you think Su Han can continue winning?"

"It's hard to say. Although he defeated Ye Wuhen, he was also seriously injured. How much can he recover in an hour?"

"Moreover, among the top ten, besides Ye Wuhen, there are several senior brothers and sisters in the mid-stage of the Star Palace Realm, whose strength should not be underestimated."

"If he were in his prime, he might have had a chance to compete for first place, but now..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion. While they were amazed by Su Han's strength, they were not optimistic about his future performance. After all, the price of that sword strike had been too high.

Tianya Peak area.

Mu Qingxue walked to Su Han's side, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. She took out a pill the size of a longan, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance, and handed it to Su Han: "Junior Brother Su, this is the 'Rejuvenation Pill,' which has miraculous effects on healing injuries. Take it quickly."

Su Han opened his eyes and was slightly taken aback when he saw the pill in Mu Qingxue's hand. The Rejuvenation Pill was a fourth-grade pill, extremely precious, and very useful even to Star Palace Realm experts. Mu Qingxue herself probably only had this one.

"Senior sister, this is too precious, you should keep it for yourself." Su Han shook her head and refused.

"Take it, just take it." Mu Qingxue shoved the pill into Su Han's hand without further ado, her tone leaving no room for argument. "You now represent Tianya Peak, and your victory or defeat is crucial to Tianya Peak's honor. Besides, if it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have made an enemy of Ling Tian, ​​and you certainly wouldn't..."

Her voice lowered slightly as she spoke. (End of Chapter)
