The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Since we've decided to take action, we can't waste the opportunity. Why not also teach our disciples a lesson while we're at it? It's a win-win situation.

"Yes, Master."

The disciples responded.

Then, two female disciples stepped forward to help the lady, and then they walked towards the base of the wall. After all, the two people who were about to fight were not weak. One was a Dou Qian, whose exact strength was unknown, and the other was a Po Bai late stage fighter. It was better to keep a distance, since the venue was large enough.

"Master's wife, who is that person? Why is Master fighting him? He doesn't look very old. Is he capable?"

As soon as they stood still, the disciples couldn't wait to ask. Many of them didn't know what was going on, so they were very curious.

The lady looked at them and smiled, "Your master's wife is in such a state now that she won't be able to take care of you for a while. With so many of you, your master has to take care of me and you all by himself. He can't manage it all, so we decided to recruit an elder to help. Look, he's here to apply for the elder position. Your master is just about to test him out."

"Elder, it's him!?"

The disciples exclaimed in disbelief.

Their gazes fell on Yun Jie's "young" face, and they didn't quite believe that he was capable of serving as an elder.

The lady snorted and said irritably, "I've told you all, there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Don't be arrogant, and don't look down on others! Although they may not be much older than you, their current strength is at the late stage of the Hundred Breakthrough Realm. Look at you... If you don't have the talent, make up for it with hard work."

The disciples lowered their heads slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

However, some people disagreed and said, "Are you sure he's in the late stage of breaking 100?"

The lady glared at him. "Of course! How could your master be wrong? He's at the late stage of the Hundred Breakthrough Realm, that's what your master said himself!"

"Then isn't his strength about the same as yours, Master's wife?"

The lady said somewhat awkwardly, "That's because I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient for me to cultivate. Otherwise, I would definitely have reached the peak of breaking 100."

"Yes, yes, yes." The disciples chuckled, not daring to refute.

The lady glared at them, annoyed, and said, "Alright, stop talking. We're about to start. Watch carefully."

The disciples' expressions turned solemn, and they fell silent, intently watching the two on the field.

······

On the training ground.

Yun Jie and Hong Yitang stood apart, about twenty meters apart.

Call ~

A gentle breeze blew by, and a few fallen leaves flew from afar, drifting over the heads of the two men. Yun Jie and his companion held longswords and stared at each other.

Seeing Yun Jie's "ready for battle" demeanor, Hong Yitang asked with a smile, "Nervous? Want to warm up?"

"No, let's get started." Yun Jie gripped the sword hilt slightly, looking somewhat "nervous," like a novice just starting out.

This performance made Hong Yitang lower his guard a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have said something like "Do you want to warm up?"

This shows that he has already accepted Yun Jie in his heart. After the competition, if there are no problems, Yun Jie can directly join the Jianmen family.

"Alright, in that case, you go first."

Hong Yitang felt he couldn't take advantage of the "junior," so he let Yun Jie attack first.

Yun Jie didn't stand on ceremony with him. Anyway, he was going to lose today. If he didn't lose, he wouldn't be able to enter the Sword Gate. If he didn't lose, Hong Yitang wouldn't dare to accept him. So, the outcome of this competition was already decided.

However, even if he was going to lose, Yun Jie didn't want to lose too quickly, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. There were still many people watching, and if he lost too fast, it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.

Having made his decision, Yun Jie's gaze sharpened, and the next moment, he moved his feet, boom!

The stone slab beneath their feet shattered, and Yun Jieteng thrust his long sword toward Hong Yitang.

"Good timing!"

Hong Yitang laughed heartily.

He swung his longsword and lightly blocked Yun Jie's sword strike. Then, with a twist of his wrist, the longsword, like a venomous snake, stabbed towards Yun Jie in an extremely cunning manner.

Yun Jie's expression changed, and he quickly retreated several meters before dodging Hong Yitang's sword.

Hong Yitang praised, "Your swordsmanship is a bit immature, but your reaction speed is good. Continue."

Yun Jie gritted his teeth and charged at Hong Yitang again, but this time he was much more careful. He slashed forward with force, and a sword aura flew out, striking Hong Yitang directly.

Hong Yitang launched an upward slash, unleashing a sword aura that was significantly larger than Yun Jie's.

boom!!

The sword energies collided and exploded instantly.

beep, beep...

The powerful shockwave forced Yun Jie to retreat continuously in order to stabilize himself. Meanwhile, Hong Yitang stood motionless in place.

"it is good!"

Many disciples watching the battle couldn't help but cheer. This was their master! So strong!

Hong Yitang smiled slightly and said, "If you have any special tricks up your sleeve, hurry up and use them, or don't blame me for not giving you a chance later."

Hong Yitang felt he had tested Yun Jie's strength enough and it was time to end things. He was quite busy today and didn't want to waste too much time.

Then, in the next moment, Hong Yitang, along with his wife and disciples, had drastic changes in expression.

Not far away, Yun Jie was seen to be emanating a faint aura. His robes fluttered without wind. Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds rang out, and a series of electric arcs appeared on Yun Jie's body, surrounded by some small wind blades.

"This is……"

The onlookers couldn't sit still any longer. They all stood up straight, staring wide-eyed at Yun Jie, their faces filled with shock.

Hong Yitang's expression also turned serious, and he said with some shock, "The power of wind and thunder... in its embryonic form!"

Yes, what Yun Jie is showing at this moment is only the rudimentary form of the power of wind and thunder. Although it is still shocking, it is not yet unacceptable.

"The Wind and Thunder Sword?" The lady watching from the sidelines suddenly exclaimed.

This exclamation snapped the stunned crowd out of their daze. They stared at Yun Jie on the field in disbelief and said, "Is this the Wind and Thunder Sword? The Wind and Thunder Sword technique that's as famous as Master's?"

"No, this is not the Wind and Thunder Sword!" Hong Yitang immediately denied their guess.

“Although it has the aura of Wind and Thunder Sword, it is not the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique,” ​​Hong Yitang said seriously.

Back then, before Yuan Shuo killed Feng Lei Jian, he had fought against Feng Lei Jian. He dared not say that he knew Feng Lei Jian very well, but if it was Feng Lei Jian Technique, he would recognize it!

Therefore, although what we see in front of us looks similar, it is definitely not the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique.

Moreover, even Fenglei Jian himself failed to comprehend the Fenglei Sword Force. Until he was killed by Yuan Shuo, he was still only at the Breaking Hundred Realm. If he could comprehend the force, he would have already entered the Douqian Realm.

The reason Yuan Shuo didn't break through was because he had too much ambition. Feng Lei Jian didn't have such ambition. If he could break through, he would never suppress himself.

Take Hong Yitang, for example. He had already advanced to the Douqian level at a very young age, so when Yuan Shuo came to challenge him, he chose to stay at home and show his defeat.

"Sect Master, be careful! I only recently mastered this technique, and I can't control its power yet..."

Across from him, Yun Jie looked strained and called out to Hong Yitang, warning him to be careful.

Hong Yitang looked at Yun Jie seriously, assumed a defensive stance, and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, you don't need to worry. Attack as much as you want, don't hold back, I can handle it."

It was a rare opportunity to encounter a rising star, especially a swordsman. Hong Yitang was delighted. If nothing unexpected happened, this person would be a member of their Sword Sect from now on.

With him backing them up, the frequency and probability of me taking action will decrease significantly, as will the risk of being exposed.

At this moment, Hong Yitang did not take Yun Jie's attack seriously. Who was he? The Earth-Overturning Sword!

His greatest strength was defense; his Earth-Shattering Sword Technique was unparalleled in defense. If Yun Jie were at the same level as him, he would take it more seriously, but Yun Jie was a whole realm below him, so he wasn't worried about not being able to withstand the attack.

Call ~

A sudden gust of wind arose, followed by a clap of thunder. Yun Jie was enveloped in wind and thunder, and the longsword in his hand turned a bluish-purple.

clack clack...

The next second, a piercing sound came from the sword, and it cracked!

Some small cracks appeared on the sword. This ordinary standard longsword could not withstand the violent wind and thunder power at all. Fortunately, although the sword was covered with cracks, it had not completely broken down under the support of Yun Jie's internal energy.

Even so, Yun Jie only had the strength for one strike. After that, his internal energy could no longer protect the sword.

The faint sound emanating from the sword was heard not only by Yun Jie, but also by everyone around them.

The disciples' expressions changed. This was the sword they usually used when practicing swordsmanship. Even if it wasn't a divine weapon, it would be very difficult to break under normal circumstances. But today, it couldn't withstand the power of others, which showed how powerful that wind and thunder force was.

At the same time, they truly understood what it meant to be outmatched and to have a higher level of understanding, and realized the gap between themselves and geniuses.

The heavily pregnant woman glanced back at their expressions and then slowly said, "You all see that, don't you? This is a genius! Although he's a few years older than you, can you guarantee that you'll reach his level in a few years?"

"Perhaps it's not difficult for you to catch up with his current cultivation level. With that book, 'Yuanqiao Jue,' the difficulty of cultivation has been greatly reduced. As long as you have a lot of energy, let alone breaking through a hundred, fighting a thousand is also easy. But there is one thing that 'Yuanqiao Jue' cannot provide, and that is momentum!"

"At the same level, a martial artist who has mastered the concept of 'momentum' can crush any ordinary martial artist. Momentum is the insurmountable chasm between geniuses and ordinary people! In other words, even if you are now martial artists at the late stage of the hundred-level, you would still find it difficult to withstand more than a few moves from Yun Jie, just like this move..."

Hearing their master's wife's words, the disciples felt a little heavy-hearted. They had been somewhat complacent, but now they realized that they had been looking at the world from the bottom of a well.

Noticing the disappointed expressions on the disciples' faces, the lady continued, "You don't need to be discouraged. The road ahead is still long. Your most important task now is to advance to the hundredth level. After you advance to the hundredth level, it will be the best time to comprehend the power. If you really can't do it, just advance directly to the thousandth level. Power is something that many people can only hope to encounter once in a while. If you really can't comprehend it, just give up. There's nothing wrong with that. Even your master's wife didn't comprehend it."

"I'm telling you all this so that you can face up to the distance between yourselves and geniuses. Don't be arrogant or discouraged. Just keep a calm mind. Maybe one day you'll naturally come to understand the power of things."

The lady spoke earnestly to her disciples, worried that today's events would be too much of a blow to them. However, the disciples did not disappoint her; they quickly composed themselves and, although not completely recovered, were in much better spirits than before.

Hearing their teacher's wife's words, they nodded slightly to indicate that they understood, while their eyes remained fixed on the field.

To be precise, the focus is on Yun Jie.

······

The next moment, Yun Jie moved.

In a flash, the disciples saw Yun Jie disappear from the spot.

Sizzle sizzle~

A long sword shot through the air, heading straight for Hong Yitang.

Thunder and lightning!

Wind blades and lightning crackled around the sword, and a bluish-purple light enveloped Yun Jie. A bluish-purple hue also appeared deep within his eyes, where a faint trace of lightning could be seen flickering.
