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

Second Division.

Su Yu remained calm as he scanned the list of participants from the second division on the crystal tablet.

The name at the very top of the list exudes a sharp, sword-like aura.

Hunyuan Dao Palace, Gu Jianyi.

A scout from the business alliance nearby immediately stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

"Guest Su, this Gu Jianyi is a top prodigy of the Hunyuan Dao Palace."

"Cultivate the sword intent of returning to the origin, and take a half-step to defy authority."

"He is the biggest favorite to win the championship in this region."

Su Yu nodded slightly.

I didn't pay attention.

Half a step towards reversal of power?

He wasn't even a Reverse Authority cultivator; in his eyes, he was no different from an ordinary Cosmic Light Realm cultivator.

It's just a matter of one punch.

at the same time.

The residence of Hunyuan Dao Palace.

Gu Jianyi stood in the center of the hall, dressed in white, with a long sword on his back.

He exuded an irrepressible sharpness.

He looked at Venerable Xuanyuan sitting above him and bowed slightly.

"Master."

Gu Jianyi's voice was calm and steady, exuding absolute confidence.

"The competition roster has been announced."

"My disciple has been assigned to the second competition zone."

Gu Jianyi gripped the sword hilt tightly.

"Rest assured, Master, I will definitely take first place in the second division!"

Inside the main hall.

Venerable Xuanyuan sat on the grand master's chair.

Looking at his spirited apprentice.

silent.

There was no joy on that weathered old face.

There was only a deep sense of powerlessness.

for a long time.

Venerable Xuanyuan slowly opened his mouth, his voice hoarse.

"Sword One."

"Lin Yan of the Central Divine Mountain has broken through."

Gu Jian was taken aback for a moment.

"Breakthrough? Peak of the Cosmic Light Realm?"

Venerable Xuanyuan shook his head.

"Reversal of power."

"A true reversal of power."

boom.

Gu Jianyi's pupils contracted sharply, and his grip on the sword hilt tightened involuntarily.

Reversal of power!

Lin Yan actually crossed that insurmountable barrier before the competition!

A strong sense of guilt and frustration welled up in Gu Jianyi's heart.

He lowered his head.

"Master, I'm sorry."

"It is because I am incompetent."

"This disciple has been in seclusion and cultivating diligently, but in the end, I still fall short of that final step and am only half a step towards reversing the power."

but.

Gu Jian suddenly raised his head, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

"but."

"Lin Yan is in the first division."

"Without Lin Yan in the second division, my disciple will definitely be able to break through and enter the top eight!"

Seeing his apprentice regain his confidence.

Venerable Xuanyuan sighed deeply in his heart.

Top eight?

In the past, he would have cheered loudly.

But now.

In Venerable Xuanyuan's mind, the image of the young man in a plain robe who claimed to be eighteen years old appeared uncontrollably.

Su Yu.

That monster that could even deflect the divine senses of a Supreme Realm expert and cause the Supreme Magic Array to crash.

"As long as that monster named Su Yu isn't in the second division."

Venerable Xuanyuan prayed silently in his heart.

"Jian Yi should have a chance."

He even had a dark hope that Su Yu could be assigned to the first division to fight Lin Yan to the death.

Let those two freaks fight.

His own apprentice might be able to compete for second place in the quarterfinals.

"Go and prepare."

Venerable Xuanyuan waved his hand, unable to bear to discourage his disciple.

"Take it easy and proceed steadily."

Registration site.

Su Yu was about to turn and leave.

Sudden.

hum.

A subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation, so subtle that it didn't even cause a ripple in the spatial dimension, silently entered his ears.

Transmitting sounds remotely.

"Tonight, the back mountain."

"Ruins of Calamity".

His voice was hoarse, carrying a sense of madness and deathly stillness.

Su Yu paused for half a second.

Ruins of war?

He had no idea what kind of organization it was.

Although Lu Changji, the sect leader of Hunyuan Dao Palace, had suspected him of being a spy for Jiexu in the Land of Calamity, he was unaware of it.

Su Yu's expression remained calm and composed.

He did not look around, nor did he send out his divine sense to search for the location of the transmitter.

The ability to transmit information so precisely right under the noses of so many venerable beings indicates that the opponent is definitely not weak.

"What do you want from me?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Su Yu's mind.

But he didn't make a fuss.

He accepted the message without making a sound, and then, with Ao Ying and Ao Jue, went straight back to the residence of the Universal Business Alliance.

inside the room.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the bed.

Close your eyes.

My mind sank into my dantian.

He didn't think about the invitation that evening, but instead focused his attention on the black-robed clone "Abyss" that he had just formed.

Abyss floated quietly beside the nine pieces of immortal matter.

It exudes a profound and supreme aura.

Su Yu attempted to probe Yuan's body with his divine sense to explore the uses of the divine kingdom.

One-thousandth of the power.

That sounds like a small amount.

However, at the microscopic level, this one-thousandth of the rules of the divine realm is enough to rewrite the underlying logic of the universe within a ten-mile radius in an instant.

"If we compress all of these one-thousandths of the rules onto the fist."

Su Yu secretly deduced the situation.

"In accordance with the physical mass of my nine immortal matter."

"A punch was thrown."

"It's not just about dimensional shattering at the physical level, but also about dimensional reduction and erasure at the divine level."

Its destructive power can increase exponentially.

This is a delicate micro-operation process that cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.

Just as Su Yu was continuously simulating and deducing...

Squeak.

The door was gently pushed open.

Ao Ying and Ao Jue walked in.

The two women had changed out of their sweat-soaked long dresses and were now wearing loose-fitting home silk robes.

But it still couldn't hide his weak and tired appearance.

"Owner."

Ao Ying bowed slightly, her voice soft.

"We've received some updates from the Business Alliance."

Su Yu opened his eyes and stopped his deduction.

"explain."

Ao Ying's expression was somewhat solemn.

"The main issue is resources."

"Although the Global Business Alliance has a strong foundation, it has incurred some expenses to support your participation in this competition."

"The business alliance's top-tier resources are already somewhat stretched thin."

Ao Ying bit her lip.

"With the current resource reserves, even if you achieve a good ranking..."

"After we become Hui, we may not be able to obtain the highest-level 'Ancestral Dragon Baptism' qualification for you."

The First Emperor's Baptism.

This is the most crucial opportunity for the Primordial Dragon Clan, requiring an enormous amount of resources to bribe those elders at the Supreme Realm.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded slightly.

The dragon blood within him definitely needs to be properly developed.

The activation of the dragon blood that Ao Ying mentioned earlier gave him new expectations for improving his physical body.

If we don't have enough resources, then we'll find a way to get them.

Su Yu's tone was indifferent.

Do you have a goal?

Upon hearing this, Ao Ying and Ao Jue exchanged a glance.

Both women nodded at the same time.

"have."

A cold glint flashed in Ao Ying's eyes.

Sirius Merchant Guild.

"The person in charge behind them is a veteran Venerable who is at the peak of the Reverse Power Realm."

"They once forcibly swallowed up a top-grade star stone mine of our Universal Merchant Alliance in the Shattered Star Belt, and killed many of the Alliance's elders."

"Because the other side is so powerful, we have been holding back."

Ao Ying looked at Su Yu.

"If the master can take action, he can swallow up the Sky Wolf Merchant Guild."

"Their resources are more than enough to qualify them for the Ancestral Dragon's baptism!"

The pinnacle of defying power.

If placed outside, this would be a regional overlord.

But in Su Yu's eyes, it wasn't enough.

Su Yu looked at the two weakened dragon sisters in front of him.

Their vital energy was greatly depleted, and their faces remained pale.

Although it was a slave contract, since they were our own people, we still showed them the care and concern we deserved.

"understood."

Su Yu's voice was calm and steady, exuding an undeniable composure.

"Wait until the Supreme Tournament of All Realms ends."

"I'll go take a look."
