Martial Universe: The system rewards are too many, I'm invincible!

Lin Yi remained motionless. In the next instant, his powerful spiritual energy suddenly spread out, and an invisible barrier enveloped the leaves. In an instant, countless leaves exploded into powder and disappeared.

Lin Yi reached out and snatched the guzheng from Ying Huanhuan's arms with a slight bend, then looked at her with a smile, "You lost."

"Give me back my guzheng! I didn't lose!" Ying Huanhuan stubbornly refused to admit defeat and reached out to snatch the guzheng back.

"What a naughty girl!" Looking at the girl rushing towards him, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head. He stretched out his finger and pressed it on her smooth forehead, letting her struggle forward with her hands, but her body could not move forward even an inch. She could not even mobilize the Yuan energy in her body.

Ying Huanhuan's arms were shorter than Lin Yi's, so she couldn't reach the guzheng or touch Lin Yi's body. So she reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's arm, trying to push him away.

"If you don't admit defeat, I won't be so polite," Lin Yi said, waving the guzheng a few times in the air with his other hand while glancing sideways at her buttocks.

As if sensing something, Ying Huanhuan's pretty face immediately turned bright red, and she hurriedly said, "Let me go, I admit defeat!"

Lin Yi smiled slightly, removed his fingers from Ying Huanhuan's forehead, and then tossed the guzheng back to her, saying, "Here you go."

Ying Huanhuan took the guzheng, her pretty face flushed red, glared at Lin Yi fiercely, and then fled from the stage as if escaping, leaving behind an extremely embarrassed and annoyed voice, "Pervert!"

Lin Yi shrugged, seemingly oblivious to the stares of everyone around him.

At this moment, a Daoist deacon descended from the sky, gave Lin Yi a deep look, and then loudly announced: "Lin Yi wins."

Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting to the steward and returned directly to the area where the disciples of the Desolate Hall were located, waiting for the next round of competition.

As soon as Lin Yi returned to the area where the Desolate Hall disciples were, many of them gathered around and teased him.

When Ying Huanhuan returned to the area where the Heavenly Palace disciples were, she still couldn't help but look embarrassed and annoyed. Occasionally, she would look up and glare fiercely at Lin Yi, muttering curses under her breath.

However, she didn't actually dislike Lin Yi as much as she thought. Her mind kept replaying the scenes after Lin Yi joined the Dao Sect, and her expression kept changing.

Not far away, in the area where the disciples of the Earth Palace were located, Qingye, with his tall and straight figure, stood at the forefront, with a hint of anger surging deep in his eyes.

The source of this anger was Lin Yi. After Ying Huanhuan returned to the Heavenly Palace area, his gaze remained fixed on her. The girl's constantly changing flushed cheeks made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Regardless of the stares or whispers around him, Lin Yi remained completely unfazed, his expression calm and undisturbed by the outside world.

In the following period, Lin Yi fought twice more, both against the top disciples of the Heavenly Palace. However, Lin Yi quickly defeated them both times.

Three consecutive victories allowed Lin Yi to successfully enter the final of the palace examination. At this point, the remaining disciples were all among the top tier of the four palaces.

That kind of confrontation was much more eye-catching than before.

On one of the stages, after countless cheers announced the winner, a deacon stepped forward, surveyed the area, and then uttered a deep shout.

"Next match: Qingye from the Earth Palace versus Lin Yi from the Desolate Palace!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall erupted in an uproar, and then suddenly burst into a frenzy. The two most outstanding individuals from the two halls had finally met face to face.

A boiling uproar quickly spread across the mountaintop, and countless gazes instantly turned fiery, then with a whoosh, they turned towards the area where Lin Yi and Qing Ye were.

Both of the fighters had extremely high prestige within the Dao Sect.

Qingye is undoubtedly the number one person in the Earth Palace, and similarly, Lin Yi is currently ranked number one in the Desolate Palace.

In particular, Lin Yi's killing of Yao Ling and his successful comprehension of the Great Desolation Scripture propelled his reputation to an extremely high level.

Although Lin Yi has only been with the Dao Sect for a year, his reputation is even slightly better than Qing Ye's!

In the direction of the underground palace, Qingye stood with his hands behind his back, his face ashen, and a dark look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yi.

"Go, Senior Brother Qingye!"

The disciples of the Earth Palace behind shouted with some excitement.

Qingye smiled faintly, then moved and flew directly into the arena. He then raised his eyes and shot them directly at Lin Yi's location.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, it's up to you now! We, the disciples of the Desolate Hall, fully support you!"

In the area where the disciples of the Desolate Palace were located, everyone cheered for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded slightly to the crowd, and then moved swiftly, entering the arena amidst the many gazes of the crowd.

On the stage where everyone was watching, Qingye looked at Lin Yi with a calm gaze, her tone tinged with doubt, "It is said that you have broken through to the Life Profound Realm, is that true?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by trying," Lin Yi said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Qingye's eyes. Then, he took a step forward, and a powerful aura, like a flood, slowly swept out from his body.

Chapter 243 Defeating the Enemy in One Move, Shocking the Entire Audience! [Please Read On]

"Lin Yi, if you lose this competition, you should have less contact with Huanhuan in the future."

A fierce aura condensed into pressure, enveloping Lin Yi, while Qing Ye's lips moved, and a faint sound also entered the latter's ears.

Lin Yi said calmly, "How I get along with her is none of your business. Besides, I won't lose. Enough with the nonsense, let's fight!"

Upon hearing this, Qingye's expression immediately turned extremely ugly, and anger surged in his eyes. "Hmph, I don't believe you've already reached the Life Profound Realm! I will defeat you in front of Huanhuan!"

The moment the voice fell, Qingye's eyes darkened considerably. Then, he clenched his fist, and a vast amount of Yuan energy swept out of his body without reservation.

Then, he stomped his foot on the ground, his figure tearing through the air, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Lin Yi. His fierce fist blasted the air, carrying an extremely astonishing pressure, and enveloped Lin Yi like lightning.

The tense atmosphere in the arena was finally ignited at this moment!

Bang!

The violent force of the fist condensed into a vortex under Qingye's fist, with a piercing sound of wind breaking out from it. Even the space itself was slightly distorted by the force of the fist.

The fierce fist force rapidly magnified in Lin Yi's eyes. In the next instant, a dazzling azure light surged out from his body. As the azure light surged, his right arm instantly expanded and wriggled, transforming into a giant dragon arm in an instant. A terrifying power erupted, causing the space itself to distort slightly.

"Azure Dragon Arm!"

Lin Yi let out a low shout in his heart, and his cyan dragon arm suddenly blasted through the air, colliding fiercely with the sharp fist imprint released by Qing Ye in an incomparably fierce manner!

boom!

An astonishing ripple of power swept out as if it were a tangible force, and the stage beneath the two people's feet instantly cracked open with huge fissures. Debris flew everywhere, and then a figure was shot backward under the gaze of everyone, falling directly off the stage. His feet plowed two furrows in the ground before he finally regained his footing!

The arena fell into a sudden, deathly silence. Everyone looked at the disheveled figure who had fallen off the stage, somewhat shocked. It was Qingye, the eldest disciple of the Earth Palace!

At this moment, Qingye's arms hung limply at his sides, his face was deathly pale, blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, and his aura was extremely weak!

On the other side, Lin Yi's tall figure stood unharmed on the stage.

The winner and loser are obvious!

After a brief silence, an uproar erupted on the mountaintop.

"What... what's going on? Senior Brother Qingye was actually defeated by Lin Yi in one move!"

"This is unbelievable! Could it be that Lin Yi's strength has truly reached the Life Profound Realm, just as rumored?"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi is too strong! Our Desolate Hall has truly made us proud this time!"

"..."

The atmosphere in the area where the Earth Palace disciples were located was somewhat somber.

Qingye's face turned pale and then red, his heart filled with resentment. But through that brief exchange, he understood that even if he used the strongest martial art of the Earth Palace, he would still have no chance of defeating Lin Yi.

At this moment, the Yuan energy that Lin Yi had invaded his body was still running rampant, and it would take a considerable amount of time to clear away the foreign Yuan energy.

"I really didn't expect Lin Yi's strength to have reached such a level. He defeated Qing Ye with just one move." Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with deep surprise as she looked at the figure on the stage whose azure light was beginning to recede. She said softly, "It seems that he held back when he fought you before."

"Hmph, who asked him to go easy on me?" Ying Huanhuan snorted, seemingly unconcerned, but secretly pleased. She then put her arm around Ying Xiaoxiao's slender arm and said with a smile, "I think you're the strongest, sister. When you meet Lin Yi, you have to stand up for me and teach him a lesson."

"Don't flatter me, little girl. Your talent is exceptional; even your father praises it highly. If you could put more effort into your cultivation, you would have surpassed me long ago," Ying Xiaoxiao said, rolling her eyes at the girl beside her.

"I'm really serious..." Ying Huanhuan muttered.

Ying Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, then turned her head and looked at the gray-robed figure sitting cross-legged in the distance. Her originally bright eyes darkened, and the smile on her face faded.

Wang Yan, dressed in a gray robe, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lin Yi's position on the stage. His originally indifferent eyes sharpened at this moment, and he sensed danger from Lin Yi.

Amidst the commotion, a steward swept over again, his eyes scanning Lin Yi with surprise before glancing at Qing Ye, who had fallen out of the arena and was seriously injured. Only then did he loudly announce, "Lin Yi wins this match!"

As soon as he finished his announcement, the already boiling cheers intensified even more, especially among the disciples of the Desolate Palace, whose faces were flushed with excitement. After so many years, their Desolate Palace had finally defeated the Earth Palace once again!

Compared to the excitement of the Desolate Palace disciples, the Earth Palace disciples were somewhat helpless, but had nothing to say.

Qingye was the strongest among the disciples of the Earth Palace. Even he was defeated by Lin Yi in one move, so it was even less likely that the others would be a match for Lin Yi.

Qingye, sitting below the stage, looked rather unwell. He looked at Lin Yi on the stage, his mouth moved, but in the end he didn't say anything and lowered his head dejectedly.

After Lin Yi and Qing Ye finished their match, it was Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan's turn next.

This was truly a spectacular battle!

Compared to the battle between Lin Yi and Qing Ye, this one was much more intense, and it lasted much longer.

Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan were actually evenly matched in strength, but Ying Xiaoxiao's combat experience was inferior to Wang Yan's, and she was reluctant to use her full strength. In the end, she was unfortunately defeated by Wang Yan.

After a deacon announced Wang Yan's victory, the mountaintop fell into a sudden silence.

Some of the older disciples, in particular, understood the potential consequences of Wang Yan's victory over Ying Xiaoxiao.

"Lost..."

Ying Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Yan. At this moment, even the usually strong and never-showing-weakness senior sister of the Heavenly Palace had her eyes redden.

"Sister!" Ying Huanhuan hurriedly landed beside Ying Xiaoxiao. She looked at the latter's reddened eyes and panicked. Tears were about to roll down her big eyes.

In the area where the disciples of the Desolate Hall were located, Lin Yi shook his head slightly, slowly stepped forward, and chuckled, "Senior Brother Wang Yan, it's time for us to fight. I've said it before, this first place in the Palace Examination can only belong to me!"

When Lin Yi stepped forward, everyone on the mountaintop turned their gazes toward him, their faces filled with anticipation.

Wang Yan raised his eyes, fixed on Lin Yi, and his somewhat hoarse voice slowly rang out, "Come and fight!"

Chapter 244 Terrifying Power, the Desolate Blade Annihilates the Black Demon! [Please Read On]

The four hall masters, including Chen Zhen and Qi Lei, on the high platform, exchanged glances before finally fixing their gaze on Ying Xuanzi in the very center.

Ying Xuanzi's vast eyes swept over Wang Yan and Lin Yi, then he nodded slightly.

Chen Zhen breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Ying Xuanzi nod, then stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, his voice low and deep:

"This will be the final competition of this year's Palace Examination. The winner will claim the ultimate championship and the command of the sect's disciples in the competition."

"If you are all ready, then let's get started!"

As Chen Zhen's last deep voice fell, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly froze!

Swish!

However, this solidification only lasted for a few breaths. Then, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from the field. Wang Yan's figure instantly turned into a blur, the heavy sword fell into his hand, and the blade shot out straight, swift as a startled swan, stabbing violently towards Lin Yi's throat.
