Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

but.

As the competition progressed...

The doubt in Lin Yan's eyes gradually turned into shock, and finally into a deep sense of absurdity.

because.

Su Yu's path to advancement was simply bizarre.

In the second round, Su Yu faced off against an inner disciple at the peak of the Hengxing level.

As soon as the disciple stepped onto the stage and saw Su Yu, his expression instantly became extremely respectful, even showing a hint of fanatical reverence.

He solemnly straightened his robes, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to Su Yu, performing the most standard junior's greeting.

"Master Su."

The disciple's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"It is a great honor for me to share the stage with you. I concede defeat!"

In the third round, Su Yu faced off against a peerless prodigy ranked fifth.

That proud man was full of fighting spirit before he went on stage.

Upon stepping onto the stage and seeing Su Yu's calm and composed face, he unhesitatingly sheathed the weapon he had just drawn.

He took a half step back, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.

"I will never forget Deacon Su's kindness, how could I dare draw my sword against you? I surrender!"

The fourth round.

The fifth round.

……

The whole morning.

Su Yu stood quietly on the arena.

He didn't even move a finger.

He didn't even say a single word.

Without exception, all his opponents, once they stepped onto the stage, would put away their weapons as if on a pilgrimage, bow with utmost respect, and then willingly and voluntarily admit defeat.

Su Yu was "guaranteed" his way into the top ten.

……

A corner of the preparation area.

Lin Yan watched as Su Yu walked off the stage again because his opponent had conceded defeat.

His resolute face was filled with gloom and incomprehension.

"What exactly happened?"

Lin Yan clenched his fists tightly.

"These people,"

"Even if Su Yu has five million units of Origin Blood, surely that wouldn't deter them from even drawing their swords?!"

Lin Yan didn't understand.

He fought for his life in the desolate edge of the universe for three months, which is how he gained the strength to sweep through everything.

Why is it that Su Yu can strike fear into everyone's hearts without doing anything?

"Master."

Lin Yan asked in a deep voice within his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Can you see anything suspicious?"

Within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Even the illusory figure of the Ember Lord appeared exceptionally solemn at this moment.

He had just released a wisp of extremely secret supreme divine sense to quietly listen to the whispers of the high-ranking elders on the stands and the surrounding disciples.

"Lin Yan".

Jin Zun's voice was filled with an unprecedented dryness and shock.

"Something terrible has happened."

Lin Yan was taken aback.

"What's the big deal?"

Jin Zun took a deep breath and spoke out the information he had gathered, word by word.

"These three months."

"Su Yu has not been in seclusion at all."

"he……"

Jinzun swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva.

"He is at the Primordial Peak."

"Prepare the altar and begin the lectures for the Supreme Elders!"

boom!

These words struck Lin Yan's mind like a heavy hammer.

Lin Yan's mind went blank for a moment.

"Teaching?"

Lin Yan thought he had misheard.

"For the Supreme Elder?!"

What is the concept of a Supreme Elder?

That was the true foundation of the Primordial Divine Martial Sect, an unparalleled existence that had lived for countless eras and whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Realm Lord!

Let alone Lin Yan, even his master, the Grand Elder, would have to respectfully kowtow and call him Ancestral Master in front of the Supreme Elder!

Su Yu?

An eighteen-year-old star level?

Teaching a peak-level world lord-level old monster a lesson?!

"Master, are you sure you didn't mishear?"

Lin Yan's voice trembled slightly; this was completely beyond his comprehension.

"How is this possible?!"

"What does a mere celestial being like him know about laws? What gives him the right to teach a realm lord?!"

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Jinzun gave a bitter laugh.

"I hope I misheard."

"But the way those old guys in the stands look at Su Yu doesn't lie."

"That kind of heartfelt reverence and respect is an attitude that can only be shown when facing a mentor who has preached the gospel."

Jin Zun's tone became unusually heavy.

"Not only that."

"I have also heard an even more terrifying piece of news."

Jin Zun paused for a moment, seemingly trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

"rumor."

"Su Yu's current amount of source blood."

"It may have already been achieved..."

"Four hundred million!"

Four hundred million!!!

Upon hearing those two words, Lin Yan was struck dumb, frozen in place.

Four hundred million source blood?

In the past three months, he has experienced countless near-death experiences and fused with the strange fire to barely raise his original blood to three million drops.

And Su Yu.

Three months ago it was five million.

Now, it's become four hundred million?!

"That's impossible!"

Lin Yan let out a low growl in his heart.

This rate of improvement is simply outrageous!

In order to increase from two million to three million drops of source blood.

During those three months, he ventured deep into the most dangerous and desolate places on the edge of the universe, teetering on the brink of life and death countless times.

He even risked complete annihilation to forcibly fuse with the strange fire, enduring hellish torment of repeated physical collapses and reconstructions. It can be said that he hung his life on the edge of a knife, barely managing to achieve this leap of one million drops!

But what about Su Yu?

He sits on Taichu Peak every day lecturing to the Supreme Elders, without going into seclusion, without engaging in combat, and without even breaking a sweat. How did his fortune suddenly surge by nearly 400 million?!

"and."

Jin Zun's eyes became sharper than ever before.

"Four hundred million source blood, but that's not the most terrifying thing."

"The most terrifying thing is that he can teach even the most powerful Realm Lords."

Jin Zun paced back and forth in his sea of ​​consciousness, his tone revealing a deep sense of apprehension.

"The laws at the realm master level involve dimensional collapse, spatial folding, and causal anchoring."

"These things have not undergone the baptism of trillions of primordial blood, nor have they been left to stagnate for tens of millions of epochs."

"It's impossible to understand."

"Let alone giving guidance to others."

Jin Zun suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed intently on Su Yu.

"Lin Yan".

"I can now be 100% certain."

"This Su Yu is definitely not some eighteen-year-old genius!"

Jinzun gave the final conclusion.

"He's an old monster!"

"Someone who has lived for countless eons, whose cultivation has at least reached the level of immortality..."

"No!"

"It could even be a legendary, supreme being at the Venerable Realm!"

"Reincarnation and rebirth!"

The Venerable One has been reincarnated!

These four words exploded in Lin Yan's mind.

Your Excellency.

That is a terrifying existence that transcends immortality, condenses immortal matter to its extreme, and can destroy a galaxy with a mere gesture.

If Su Yu really is the reincarnation of a Venerable One.

Then he could possess 400 million source blood at the Eternal Star level.

He can understand the laws of the realm and give lessons to the Supreme Elder.

All of these illogical things can now be explained!

Because he was already at that level, he's just retracing his steps!

"Little Yanzi".

Jin Zun's tone became unusually solemn.

"Be careful!"

"This kid is extremely dangerous."

"The laws and combat experience in his mind are definitely not something you can compete with at your age."

"If you face him, don't hold back at all!"

Within the sea of ​​knowledge.

The breeze stopped.

Lin Yan stood in the preparation area, head down, fists clenched.

Four hundred million blood donors.

The reincarnation of the Venerable One.

These two labels, like two insurmountable mountains, weighed heavily on his heart.

If it were an ordinary person, their Dao heart would probably have collapsed long ago upon learning that their opponent was a monster of this level.

but.

Lin Yan is no ordinary person.

He is a chosen one who rose from humble beginnings, traversing mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

A full half-incense stick's time had passed.

Lin Yan's tense body slowly relaxed.

He raised his head.

A bright flame reignited in those eyes that had been filled with shock.

"Don't worry, Master."

Lin Yan's voice no longer trembled in the slightest.

It exudes a calm and unwavering determination that runs deep in his bones.

"So what if the Venerable One is a reincarnation?"

"So what if there are four hundred million source blood?"

Lin Yan stared at Su Yu in the distance, his eyes sharp as knives.

"He is now, after all, just a celestial being."

"Four hundred million source blood, in the end, is just a pile of energy."

"It may be astonishing in terms of sheer destructive power."

A cold smile curved at the corners of Lin Yan's lips.

"But, no matter how much source blood there is."

"There's no way to bridge the absolute gap between profound mysteries and divine powers at the level of laws!"

"I possess the Three Calamities of Annihilation and the Ring of Flames."

"I have you, an unparalleled powerhouse, as my backing."

"As long as he has not yet condensed immortal matter, as long as he is still made of flesh and blood."

"My ultimate technique can completely incinerate him into nothingness!"

Lin Yan's Dao heart did not collapse at this moment.

Instead, it was tempered by this desperate pressure and became even more indestructible.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Looking at Lin Yan, who had regained his fighting spirit, Jin Zun stroked his beard with satisfaction.

"good!"

"As expected of my disciple, Lord Jin!"

"That's the kind of spirit we should have to defy the heavens!"

"Immortal King said in a deep voice."

"Go ahead and fight."

"At the crucial moment, I will mobilize all my soul power to help you deliver the decisive blow!"

"Take first place!"
