The Unyielding Journey: Supreme Martial God Technique

Firecloud Spirit Grass

While passing through the corridor of the combat arena, Wu Yun saw a crystal plaque displaying the latest round of combat records. Combat records are updated monthly, and the current round had been refreshed for ten days. One name stood out prominently.

Xiao Xueyan, tenfold celestial victories forty-nine, a hundred percent winning rate, temporarily ranked first. Compared to the second-place contender behind her, the difference was like a sky-high gap. The second-place contender had fewer than ten victories, with a winning rate of only sixty percent. Wu Yun furrowed his brows, puzzled, and said, "Hmm? Xiao Xueyan, isn't she the number one genius in Star Feather City? Why would she participate in the life-and-death combat arena?" The guard turned around, smiled knowingly, and said, "Her strength is indeed extraordinary, but our combat arena has no age restrictions. As long as the cultivation base doesn't exceed the tenth celestial level, anyone can participate. Under great rewards, there will be courageous individuals, hehe."

"Rewards?" Wu Yun asked in confusion, "Could there be other prizes?" "Of course," the guard chuckled, "Moreover, the prizes this time are particularly tempting. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stirred the heart of Miss Xiao, who has long been renowned throughout the city." "What is it?" "Firecloud Spirit Grass." "Firecloud Spirit Grass?" Wu Yun exclaimed. In his heart, he couldn't help but think that the preciousness of Firecloud Spirit Grass far exceeded that of the Dao Origin Pills, reaching the level of a spiritual medicine treasure. It was especially effective for cultivators seeking to break through from the tenth celestial level to the Sea Transformation Realm. Could it be that Xiao Xueyan had already reached the pinnacle of the tenth celestial level? Thinking of this, Wu Yun's expression changed. The gap between the Sea Transformation Realm and the tenth celestial level was definitely not on the same level. If, as Wu Yun suspected, Xiao Xueyan had indeed broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm, then two months later, Wu Yun would be facing an extremely terrifying opponent. "What? Do you have any thoughts?" The guard saw Wu Yun standing still, smiled, and then said, "Don't think too much. To obtain Firecloud Spirit Grass, one must crush both victories and winning rates in this month's competition. Since Miss Xiao chose to participate, she must have confidence in winning. I have worked in this combat arena for over ten years, and seeing someone like Miss Xiao with a victory rate of over a hundred percent in forty-something matches is truly a first." After the guard left, Wu Yun, behind his mask, had a serious expression and followed along.

At the age of seventeen, achieving the cultivation of the Sea Transformation Realm was a remarkable feat. If Xiao Xueyan had truly accomplished this, it would likely attract attention even from the Imperial Capital. Once the Imperial Capital intervened, if Wu Yun couldn't surpass Xiao Xueyan before that, the Wu family would probably find themselves in a desperate situation.

The current priority was to prevent Xiao Xueyan from obtaining the Firecloud Spirit Grass. However, ten days had already passed in this round of calculations, and Xiao Xueyan's victories had reached forty-nine. If she continued to participate in daily battles, it seemed unlikely that anyone could catch up with her in the remaining month.

Wu Yun navigated through several corridors, following the guard to a room. The guard stopped, saying, "Go in; someone inside will receive you." Wu Yun nodded slightly and entered the room, where an elderly man was seated.

"Your name and cultivation level," the old man asked casually, glancing at Wu Yun.

"Black Flame, Fourth Celestial Level," Wu Yun had already thought of an alias for himself.

"What item do you want?" The old man inquired without lifting his head, appearing indifferent. Evidently, he had grown accustomed to receiving countless individuals like Wu Yun every day.

"Creation Pills," Wu Yun answered.

"What? Creation Pills?" This time, the old man finally looked up, scrutinizing Wu Yun. He said, "Choose something else. You need at least the Fifth Celestial Level Combat Platform to exchange for Creation Pills, and the cost might be beyond what you can afford. If you insist on Creation Pills, go back and elevate your cultivation level by one grade before coming again."
