I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Who is this person? He sent a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple flying with a single punch?"

"Qin Yuan! That new guy from the Star Pavilion!"

"Incredible! Late-stage Dao Integration Realm, one punch to instantly kill someone of the same level!"

On the high platform, the nine ancient monsters in the Mahayana stage all turned their heads to look.

Xinghe Daoren stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of admiration.

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked rather grim, but he couldn't say anything—if one's skills are inferior, then one has lost.

Qin Yuan stepped down from the training ground, his expression calm.

First battle, victory.

Next came the second battle, the third battle, the fourth battle...

In every battle, Qin Yuan defeated his enemy with a single move.

He would either throw a punch or point a finger, but he never used a second move.

His opponents included prodigies from various sects at the late stage of the Dao Integration realm, renowned rogue cultivators, and even veteran powerhouses at the peak of the Dao Integration realm.

But no one could stop him from making a single move.

After five rounds, Qin Yuan easily advanced to the top 16.

His name has spread throughout the entire Tianjiao City.

"That Qin Yuan from the Star Pavilion is terrifying!"

"Five wins out of five, all instant kills! What is his cultivation level?"

"Late stage of Dao Integration! But his combat strength is comparable to the peak of Dao Integration!"

"I wouldn't be surprised at all if he made it into the top ten."

In the round of 16, Qin Yuan's opponent was a rogue cultivator at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm named Blood Butcher, known for his ruthlessness.

Blood Butcher stood in the training ground and licked his lips.

"Qin Yuan, is that it? I've heard you're quite the fighter. But your opponents were too weak. Today, I'll show you what true combat power is!"

He raised his hands, and the blood-red light in the sky transformed into countless blood blades, slashing down on Qin Yuan like a tidal wave!

Qin Yuan remained silent.

He simply raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at Blood Butcher's Hand.

One point out!

The pale golden finger energy pierced through the blood-red light, shattered the blood blade, and headed straight for Blood Butcher's face!

Blood Butcher's expression changed drastically, and he dodged with all his might!

But we were still a step too late.

A finger flew across his cheek, leaving a deep bloody mark on his face!

Blood Butcher was stunned.

He touched the blood on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief.

If that finger had been aimed at his heart—

He is dead.

"I... lost."

He said in a hoarse voice.

The audience erupted in uproar once again.

The Blood Butcher, a peak Dao Integration expert, actually conceded defeat!

Moreover, he was facing an opponent in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm!

Just how strong is this Qin Yuan?

Qin Yuan withdrew his finger, turned around, and stepped off the stage.

Six wins in six battles, all with swift and decisive victories.

The top eight.

Four days later, the quarterfinals will begin.

Qin Yuan's opponent is Youmingzi of the Netherworld Palace.

We're old acquaintances.

Youmingzi stood in the training ground, his eyes sinister.

"Qin Yuan, you injured one of my fingers in the Starry Sky Secret Realm; today you will repay me a hundredfold!"

Qin Yuan looked at him and said calmly.

"You can't do it."

Youmingzi was furious.

"Arrogant!"

He summoned a jet-black spear, its blade radiating a chilling aura, clearly a top-tier demonic weapon.

With a single thrust, countless ghostly figures howled through the sky!

Instead of retreating, Qin Yuan advanced and unleashed a punch!

"boom!"

Fist and spear clashed, and Youmingzi staggered back three steps!

Qin Yuan remained completely still!

Sit down!

Youmingzi's face turned ashen.

He refused to believe it and pounced again!

Each shot was faster and more ruthless than the last!

Qin Yuan continued to fight back with his fists, each punch meeting the spearhead head-on!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The explosion was deafening!

After ten moves, Youmingzi's tiger's mouth split open, and he almost dropped his spear!

After thirty moves, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing became erratic!

After fifty moves—

Qin Yuan punched him in the chest!

Youmingzi spat out blood, flew backward, and crashed onto the edge of the training ground, unable to get up again!

The entire room fell silent.

A deafening cheer erupted immediately!

"Qin Yuan! Qin Yuan! Qin Yuan!"

Seven wins out of seven, advancing to the semifinals with a perfect record!

As Youmingzi was carried away, his eyes were filled with resentment and fear.

He knew that he would never catch up with this man named Qin Yuan in this lifetime.

In the semifinals, Qin Yuan faced off against Jian Wushuang, the chief disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Jian Wushuang, at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, is recognized as the number one young person in the first level of the Heavenly Realm, and is known as "Sword Dao Unparalleled".

The two stood facing each other on the training ground.

Jian Wushuang looked at him, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Qin Yuan, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Qin Yuandao.

"Then let's go."

Jian Wushuang drew his sword from its sheath.

It was a long sword that was crystal clear all over, its blade transparent as ice, with faint starlight flowing around it.

An eighth-grade magic weapon, the Star Sword.

He slashed down with his sword!

The sword energy was like an inverted galaxy, breathtakingly beautiful, yet extremely dangerous!

Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

This sword strike deserves his serious attention.

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm!

Starry Sky Great Handprint!

This was the first time he had used this supernatural power in public!

The palm print blotted out the sky and carried boundless star power, colliding violently with the sword energy!

"Boom—!"

The entire training ground was trembling!

Sword energy shattered!

The great handprint, its momentum still strong, slammed down on Jian Wushuang!

Jian Wushuang's expression changed, and he raised his sword to block!

"boom!"

He staggered back ten steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!

Qin Yuan withdrew his hand.

You lost.

Jian Wushuang remained silent.

After a long silence, he gave a bitter laugh.

"I lost."

He sheathed the Star Sword and bowed to Qin Yuan with clasped hands.

"Peerless in swordsmanship? I am not worthy of those four words in front of you."

He turned and stepped off the stage.

The entire audience erupted in thunderous applause!

Eight wins out of eight, advancing to the finals with a perfect record!

His opponent in the final was Fa Wuyai, the chief disciple of the Wanfa Sect.

Both at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, both on a winning streak.

The final is in three days.

Qin Yuan returned to his residence and sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

A system notification sounded:

[Host has advanced to the finals of the Prodigy Battle. Achievement accomplished. Reward: +50000 Energy Points.]

[Current energy points: 234500.]

[Daily cultivation gain: 6000 years → 6500 years (automatically increased due to excellent performance)]

Qin Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

Three days later, they won first place.

Then, go to the second heaven.

Three days later, the final day.

The area around the training ground was packed with people.

One hundred thousand people, plus nine Mahayana-stage patriarchs, were all present.

This battle will determine the top spot on the first Heavenly Pride Ranking.

Qin Yuan vs. Fa Wuya.

The two stood facing each other in the center of the training ground.

Fa Wuyai was a man who looked to be around thirty years old. He had a refined appearance and a gentle temperament, but his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have long admired your name."

Qin Yuan nodded.

"Fellow Dharma Master, you're too kind."

Fa Wuyai smiled slightly.

"We are both in the late stage of Dao Integration, but you have been able to easily defeat peak Dao Integration cultivators all the way through, your strength far exceeds your realm. I'm not very confident in this battle."

Qin Yuandao.

"You'll only know after you've tried it."

Fa Wuyai nodded.

"it is good."

He raised his hand and made a hand seal.

In an instant, countless runes appeared, transforming into a massive array that enveloped the entire training ground!

The Myriad Laws Sect, the Myriad Laws Grand Array!

Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fa Wuyai truly lived up to his reputation. He unleashed a massive formation right from the start, aiming to maximize all his advantages.

But he remained calm.

He took a deep breath and activated the "Starry Sky Body" technique, causing his body to radiate brilliant starlight.

Then, he strode towards Fa Wuyai.

With each step, countless runes were shattered.

Each step caused the great formation to tremble violently.

Fa Wuyai's expression changed slightly.

"What an incredibly strong physical body!"

He dared not be negligent and activated the great formation with all his might, unleashing countless attacks from all directions towards Qin Yuan!
