Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 31 Elite Disciples
"He was defeated in a single move!" The disciples were shocked. The disciple from Dragon Head Peak was no ordinary person; he possessed cultivation at the peak of the Divine Bridge realm.

Such a being was instantly defeated by a cultivator who had just broken through to the Divine Bridge!
This was utterly unbelievable, and everyone was completely shocked.

"These two are not even in the same league. At first, I thought Li Yao was focusing all his time on cultivation and didn't have the energy to learn offensive divine arts. But who would have thought that he didn't even need to use divine arts. He could crush them with his own strength alone. The gap is just too big."

"Yes, although Li Yao has only just broken through to the Divine Bridge realm, his combat strength is probably already comparable to that of the Other Shore realm."

"The Rising Sun Island has prospered, finding such a treasure. No wonder when Li Yao disappeared some time ago, the Rising Sun Island faction mobilized a large number of disciples to search for him."

The disciples began to discuss it intensely, especially the disciples of Rising Sun Island, who were all extremely excited at this moment.

Although they weren't familiar with Li Yao, today's event was a clash between Rising Sun Island and Dragon Head Peak, and they all felt a sense of participation in this collective honor.

Li Yao paid no attention to the outside discussion. He glanced at the Dragon Head Peak disciples who were still lying on the ground unable to get up, and prepared to turn around and leave.

Time was very precious to him; if it weren't for the fact that this matter was related to him, he wouldn't have even come out of seclusion.

Just as Li Yao was about to leave, an angry shout rang out.

"Stop! You think you can just leave after seriously injuring someone?" someone shouted from the Dragon Head Peak.

Li Yao stopped and turned to look in the direction of the Dragon Head Peak disciples. He was about to speak, but before he could, the disciples of Rising Sun Island erupted in chaos.

"Are you sore losers? No fight is without injuries."

"That's right, you're the ones who challenged us, but you're also the ones who can't afford to lose."

"If you're afraid of getting hurt, just stay put and don't jump around."

The disciples of Rising Sun Island were filled with righteous indignation and turned into trolls, pointing fingers and criticizing the disciples of Dragon Head Peak.

They are in the right this time. The Yao Guang Holy Land will not interfere with the disciples' duel, as long as they don't cause any deaths or use underhanded tactics to cripple their cultivation.

Although the Dragon Head Peak disciple was seriously injured, it was clear to everyone that Li Yao had held back at the last moment, only inflicting serious injuries but not killing him.

The disciple from Dragon Head Peak was speechless, unable to utter a word.

But at this moment, a young man who looked to be around twenty years old, dressed in white, and tall and robust, stepped forward.

"Although Junior Brother Yang is not in mortal danger, such a serious injury will keep him bedridden for at least several months. Although we are not from the same lineage, we are still fellow disciples. There was no need to use such a heavy hand."

His appearance immediately silenced the scene, and many people even slightly changed their expressions.

Li Yao didn't recognize this person. Although he had been a disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land for half a year, he had been cultivating and knew nothing about the disciples of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

However, judging from the appearance of the people present, this young man must have a good cultivation level, and he may even be an elite disciple, otherwise the others would not be wary of him.

"Senior Brother Han, this boy is too arrogant. He is clearly a fellow disciple, yet he is so vicious. Senior Brother must teach him a lesson, otherwise he will really think that there is no one in Dragon Head Peak. Let him know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

"With your strength, Senior Brother, dealing with this kid would be a piece of cake. He treated Junior Brother Zhang like that, so we'll give him a taste of his own medicine, break his hand, shatter his bones, and make him bedridden for half a year." The disciples of Dragon Head Peak were very excited. They seemed to already see Li Yao's miserable appearance with broken bones and shattered hands. They felt relieved even before they made a move.

Senior Brother Han smiled slightly, said nothing, and strode forward. He was tall, a head taller than the average person, and looked down at Li Yao, who looked to be only about fourteen years old.

"Actually, you're quite remarkable; your physical body is truly formidable. If you confess now, I won't make things difficult for you. After all, we're all disciples of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and we'll inevitably run into each other again."

Li Yao shook his head slightly, raised an eyebrow, and said disdainfully, "I don't know where you get your confidence from. You may be a little better than that piece of trash from before, but in my eyes, there is no difference at all."

He rubbed his fingers together and continued, "At most, it's just one more punch."

"This guy is too arrogant! How dare he speak to Senior Brother Han like that? He's asking for death!"

"Senior Brother Han, crack all his bones. Don't hold back. No one has ever looked down on us Dragon Head Peak disciples before."

"As long as we don't kill him, no one can say anything. Senior Brother Han, give this kid a good beating."

The disciples of Rising Sun Island immediately tensed up again. They all knew that person and knew that although he was also at the peak of the Divine Bridge realm, his combat strength was far superior to that of the man surnamed Zhang.

"Senior Brother Li, this person is named Han Lin. He is an elite disciple of the Dragon Head Peak lineage. He once attempted to reach the Other Shore, but he fell at the stage of the Lost Tribulation." A disciple from Rising Sun Island transmitted his thoughts to Li Yao.

Upon hearing this, Li Yao became slightly interested. When breaking through to the Other Shore Realm, there is a danger of getting lost. Many cultivators have fallen at this stage, their minds completely lost and never waking up again.

Han Lin once failed to reach the other side, but he did not lose himself because of it. Instead, he woke up, which is quite remarkable.

The fact that Han Lin was able to escape from the disaster of being lost proves that his mental state is not weak. Although he failed to break through after that experience, he also benefited from the misfortune and his mental state will reach a higher level.

However, Li Yao was only slightly interested. He was clear about his own combat strength. Although he was only at the Divine Bridge Realm, his combat strength was enough to make him a formidable opponent in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

This isn't arrogance on his part; he genuinely possesses the ability.

Look at his setup: he cultivates the Emperor Scripture and has reached the pinnacle of it. Not only is his cultivation progressing by leaps and bounds, but his combat power is also greatly enhanced.

This alone makes him virtually invincible in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

That's not all. There are also three Imperial Runes in the Sea of ​​Wheels scroll. Those three Imperial Runes can also enhance combat power. Once integrated into offensive divine techniques, they can double his combat power.

Furthermore, he had cultivated each of his previous realms to the extreme, and his body underwent several transformations. Although he was still a mortal, his hardness was comparable to divine iron.

"Junior Brother Li, as the senior brother, you shouldn't bully the younger one. As long as you admit your mistake, we can let this matter go. After all, swords and spears have no eyes in a fight, and it wouldn't be good if you accidentally seriously injured your junior brother." Han Lin was very confident that he could easily take down Li Yao as long as he made a move.

Li Yao chuckled in exasperation. He looked at Han Lin as if he were a clown. He raised one hand and beckoned with his index finger.

"Come here, and I will grant you a defeat. Years later, you can tell your children that you once fought Li Yao and survived. This will be the most boastful thing in your life, and you will even consider it an honor."
