"Boom!"

With a flurry of petals dispersing, the young man's body was sent flying backwards.

"I lost..."

At the edge of the platform, the young man struggled to stand, a bitter smile lingering on his lips.

There was a line at the edge of the platform. Cross that line, and you lose. He had lost.

Unexpectedly, his defeat was so swift and decisive.

No wonder he was a forthright spiritual cultivator - he sighed inwardly.

On another platform.

Lin Mengmeng was also engaged in battle with an opponent.

She quickly defeated her opponent, securing a continuous victory.

"I'm going in myself."

Having watched fights of Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and others, Lin Yun looked up, gazing at a distant platform, and made his decision.

"Rest assured, Brother Lin, let me take care of things here." said Xiao Chong.

Whoosh!

With a step, Lin Yun was instantly on the platform.

His opponent on this platform was a formidable fighter with a streak of nine consecutive victories.

"I hail from the Ninth-level Civilization Star Domain, Seven Difficulties Taoist," announced Lin Yun's middle-aged Taoist adversary, bowing slightly at the sight of such a young opponent.

At their level, they had made names for themselves in the Ninth-level Civilization Star Domain, especially him with his chain of nine victories. As a high-ranking Super Warrior, he was well known for his strength, even among formidable warriors. The only ones posing a threat to him were the superpowers.

He knew that even if he wasn't from a superpower, there wouldn't be much difference in announcing his own name versus hailing from a great family.

On the surface, Lin Yun was just a peak twelfth-level cultivator. Usually, an opponent at this level wouldn't faze him. However, Lin Yun's young appearance hinted at a great potential background.

Therefore, he was rather courteous in introducing himself, hoping that Lin Yun would do the same.

However, Lin Yun disappointed him.

"Low-level Civilization Star Domain, a nameless soldier," Lin Yun said lightly, making a slight bow.

"Shing!"

Even before he had finished speaking, the long sword behind Lin Yun was drawn, falling into his hands.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Lin Yun swung his sword toward the Seven Difficulties Taoist.

Less potent warriors were beneath his notice. Rather than wasting time talking to the Seven Difficulties Taoist, he preferred fighting a few more battles and achieving better results.

"You..." The Seven Difficulties Taoist furrowed his brow, a feeling of intense dissatisfaction arose within him.

The young man didn't wait for him to finish. Without introducing himself thoroughly, he made his move. This was something that didn't sit well with him.

However, hearing Lin Yun claim that he was from a low-level Civilization Star Domain did ease his nerves a bit.

Low-level Civilization Star Domains could harbor powerful forces, but they were few and far between. As a high-ranking almost Super Warrior, he would normally only be wary of superpowers. He doubted that he would run into an offspring of a superpower from such a domain.

Was it possible that the young man hadn't revealed his origins because of their low status? Perhaps his own strength was mediocre, but he wished to secure a win by catching him off guard?

A thought flashed through the Seven Difficulties Taoist's mind.

Hmm, this seems probable.

He had seen this kind of thing too many times before.

As these thoughts filtered in his mind, he conjured a potent spell to strike back at Lin Yun.

"Kid, step down! You're too young for this level of battle. You should wait for the next Heavenly Principle Fruit tournament... You might have achieved decent results if you hadn't broken through to the peak of the Twelfth level, but now, you stand no chance..." The Seven Difficulties Taoist sneered.

He had detected no grandeur from Lin Yun's sword; he thought Lin Yun to be an average peak-level twelfth sinking cultivator.

"Boom!"

While the Seven Difficulties Taoist was speaking, his spell clashed with Lin Yun's sword swing, resulting in a loud boom where they intersected.

The Taoist's spell was cut down with the force of Lin Yun's blade, and the remaining energy from Lin Yun's sword strike fell onto him, forcing his body to be sent flying backwards.

Defeated by a single sword strike!

"What?"

The Seven Difficulties Taoist looked shocked.

The young man's power turned out to be so terrifying. He was not just any Super Warrior... he wasn't even a match for one strike from his opponent?

What could be the young man's background?

"Boom!"

His body hit hard against the edge of the platform, not causing much damage. Clearly, his opponent's strength was not lacking; he had merely shown him mercy.

The Seven Difficulties Taoist's expression alternated between shades, his face flushing bright red.

The figurative slap in the face came way too fast.

Just a moment ago, he had belittled his opponent for partaking in this Heavenly Principle Fruit tournament, only to be defeated by a single sword strike the next moment. This was truly humiliating.

"Damn it, you actually concealed your strength..."

The Seven Difficulties Taoist grumbled resentfully.

Had he been better prepared, her would have stood more than a fighting chance against the young man's attack.

Who would have thought that his opponent's single strike would be so powerful, too powerful to sense? He had expected to exchange a few blows with him to adequately measure his skill level!

However, now, he had crossed the line and lost, unable to continue the battle.

"Is this young man really so powerful?"

"Did the Seven Difficulties Taoist actually lose?"

"Where the hell did this guy come from…"

"Judging from what he said earlier, it seems he's from a low-level Civilization Star Domain?"

The spectators who had been watching the platform were taken aback by the unfolding scene.

The Seven Difficulties Taoist, with his streak of nine victories, had continuously defeated numerous opponents, attracting the attention of many. Everyone had thought this match would add to his winning spree, especially when they saw the newcomer standing against him. However, it turned out that the Seven Difficulties Taoist actually lost.

"On the 13,952nd platform, contestant number 198,855,5321 has achieved five consecutive victories!" Just then, a voice rang out over the platform.

"Acknowledged!"

Lin Yun returned a bow, affirming his victory.

"Humph!"

Seven Difficulties Taoist gave a cold snort, turned around, his face a mask of iron as he flashed off the platform.

"Interesting, let me get a taste of his strength!"

Witnessing the scene, a contestant below the platform chuckled.

Whoosh!

With a step, he was already on the platform where Lin Yun was.

The principle of this tournament was, losers stepped down, winners remained. Unless, of course, you had fought and won three battles, only then could you step down to rest.

"Ninth-level Civilization Star Domain..." The contestant ascended the platform and courteously greeted Lin Yun with a bow.

"This guy dares to challenge Brother Lin proactively, he's seeking his own death!"

"Interesting? In a while, he'll know if it's interesting or not!"

"His record seems to be eleven consecutive wins, it won't be easy to achieve that. If he hadn't provoked Brother Lin, he might have advanced a little further. Wait till Brother Lin defeats him, he will have reasons to cry!"

Xiao Chong and the others were observing the platform, and shook their heads when they saw this scene.

At Lin Yun's current strength, he was absolutely unbeatable below the superpower realm, whoever encountered him was "doomed." Voluntarily endorsing "doom" was ridiculous.
