Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Looking at Lin Yuan, who was completely different from the gentle and refined person he had been just moments before.

Jing Yuan was initially surprised, but then a look of great interest appeared on his face.

He slowly stood up and met Lin Yuan's gaze.

That gaze held both the general's authority and a hint of...admiration.

"Then, as you wish."

Chapter 197 Weighing

As Lin Yuan flew downwards on his starship, he curiously observed the surrounding scenery.

Before he came, he never expected that the sea of ​​clouds behind the Shence Mansion's platform was actually the entrance to a hidden cave.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary airspace, but once inside, it reveals a completely different world.

A moment later, the star raft pierced through the thick clouds. The view suddenly opened up before them.

Like a fairyland, under the vast expanse of light, a landmass so immense that its boundaries were invisible floated in the air.

On land, towering mountains stretch endlessly, and vast forests are lush and verdant.

The rushing torrents and waterfalls surged within, converging into a mighty river that flowed downwards into the sky.

Most peculiarly, several strange planets were suspended in the sky, creating a magnificent sight.

.............

The starship slowly descended, and Lin Yuan and Jing Yuan stepped onto the ground.

"How is it, young friend Lin? Are you satisfied with the competition venue?"

Seeing the look of emotion on Lin Yuan's face, Jing Yuan smiled leisurely.

"General, where is this place?"

"This cave is called Xiaowu Heaven, where I usually hone my martial arts skills. As a Shence General, I naturally deserve some privileges."

Jing Yuan turned slightly to the side.

"If guests come to visit, there is a place here to receive them."

Following his gaze, pavilions and towers could be seen peeking out from among the dense bamboo groves in the distance. It was truly a wonderful place to drink tea and wine.

"However, today's duel naturally requires an open space. Both of us can then freely unleash our full potential."

Jing Yuan thrust the array blade he was holding, named Stone Fire Dream Body, into the ground, and the surroundings trembled slightly.

"Young friend, how would you like to compete? Bare-handed or with weapons? Do you have any suitable weapons?"

"I want to experience all of them."

Lin Yuan grinned, his eyes shining brightly.

"But before the competition, General, I have a question?"

"Please speak, young friend."

Are those planets in the sky real?

"It's a relatively small, desolate planet. The stars there are all confined here by the power of the grotto-heavens."

Originally intended to emulate the Imperial Bow as a target for divine archery, but now... its decorative function is probably more important.

Jing Yuan shrugged helplessly.

"Come on, young friend. It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. Seeing you young people makes me feel old. But some things... become more meaningful with age."

...........

The two leaped and darted across the land, soon arriving at a flat plain.

A moment later, the two stood facing each other.

A howling wind blew across the plain, but it couldn't conceal the fighting spirit emanating from their eyes.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: we are plotting against the messenger of [Destruction], so young friend, you'd better show us your true abilities."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have readily agreed to this collaboration.

Jing Yuan wore a carefree smile, appearing relaxed.

In his view, he was merely testing the younger generation and taking the opportunity to stretch his muscles and relax amidst the tense situation.

"However, since it is a competition, we should stop when we have reached our limit."

If you can't hold on any longer, please let me know immediately.

Otherwise, if we hurt my young friend, wouldn't that just let those thieves get their way?

Seeing Jing Yuan's relaxed demeanor, Lin Yuan couldn't help but curl his lip.

He moved his hands and feet up and down, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"General Jingyuan, I won't say more. On my first day in Luofu, I heard the storyteller talk about your ability to destroy mountains and cleave peaks. I also heard that you are ranked last in strength among the Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow."

I've had a wish for a long time: to test just how strong that power really is.

And you, General... in my opinion, are the perfect candidate for a trial!"

"Young friend, you're trying to provoke me."

Jing Yuan said with a smile.

"But as expected of a young person, he is indeed arrogant."

He then slightly opened his eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them.

"Since that's the case, as the master, I will avenge my poor disciple."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them vanished from the spot!

Violent collisions rang out one after another, and two afterimages flashed repeatedly in the arena, stirring up violent air currents.

In just a few dozen seconds, the two exchanged blows more than a hundred times, leaving the surrounding area in a complete mess.

"Little friend, that was a heavy punch."

As he dodged and parried, Jing Yuan's eyes gleamed.

Years of honing his skills in the Cloud Cavalry Martial Arts Manual, coupled with the extraordinary reflexes and instincts granted by the [Hunting] skill, allowed him to always be able to perfectly block Lin Yuan's every move, which turned into afterimages.

But each of Lin Yuan's strikes, in addition to its immense power, also carried a certain explosive force.

Even Jing Yuan's body, which had been honed by the blessings of heaven and man and the power of the [Hunting], could feel an extremely domineering force constantly invading his body.

"It's true what they say, youth has the upper hand. Is this the power of [Preservation]?"

Jing Yuan felt a little helpless, but as the fight continued, his gaze suddenly became fixed.

"Young friend, be careful!"

A shout was given, accompanied by a thunderous roar.

Golden lightning crackled across Jing Yuan's fist, and in his pupils, he seized upon a flaw in Lin Yuan's movements.

The destiny of the [Hunter] has given him the omens of discovering weaknesses, which can be used not only in deduction and planning, but also in battle.

Golden lightning was summoned, granting this punch incredible speed and destructive power.

In an instant, a punch struck Lin Yuan's body just as he was about to be reborn.

"Boom-"

Under the immense force, Lin Yuan's body was sent flying.

A resounding, booming sound mingled with a deep rumble of thunder.

A dazzling purple-gold light flashed, and a massive impact, along with bursts of lightning, suddenly spread outwards.

The flat ground was instantly sank several meters and turned into dust, centered on this point.

Everything within a few hundred meters, whether rock or plant, was pulverized by the enormous impact.

Smoke billowed through the air, reaching straight into the clouds!

Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes, remaining vigilant.

His intuition told him that some kind of threat was multiplying within the rising smoke.

Sure enough, the swirling air currents tore through the thick smoke and flying sand the next moment.

A dazzling figure, shimmering with purple-gold light, charged straight at Jing Yuan, defying the thunderous bombardment.

Golden lightning crackled and spread across the ground as Lin Yuan's figure charged forward, enduring the onslaught.

If one were to observe closely, one could see that the light on Lin Yuan's body was constantly cracking under the bombardment.

The sharpness of this "hunting" is indeed formidable.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and he instantly leaped to Jing Yuan's side.

Using the momentum, he leaped into the air, raised his right leg, and kicked fiercely at Jing Yuan's face.

The intense wind pressure and impact hit him head-on. Jing Yuan looked at the enlarged kick in his line of sight, steadied himself, and leaned back.

As the fierce attack passed over his face, a smile suddenly appeared on Jingyuan's lips.

Golden lightning crackled from his body, stimulating his celestial form to unleash even greater speed.

He grabbed Lin Yuan's leg and pulled him forward violently, while electricity was constantly compressing and gathering in his other hand.

"middle!"

With a single punch, the violent power exploded instantly, colliding and annihilating with the light emanating from Lin Yuan's body.

The next moment, the immense force sent Lin Yuan flying into the air.

"Is it going to end so soon?"

Jing Yuan's voice rang out with a faint laugh, and layers upon layers of lightning converged, about to deliver a decisive blow to Lin Yuan in the air.
