At Brother Qin's command, several disciples immediately surrounded Yan Yue, forming a circle that trapped him in the center. They were all loyal fans of Brother Qin and had long been dissatisfied with Yan Yue, this sudden "genius". Now that they had the opportunity, they naturally showed no mercy.

Yan Yue was surrounded, seemingly isolated and helpless. Elder Su and Commander Fang stood by, watching with cold eyes, even a subtle sneer on their lips. The surrounding disciples also began to discuss the situation. Most people were pessimistic about Yan Yue, believing that she was bound to fail this time.

"This Yan Yue is too arrogant. He actually dared to offend Elder Su and Commander Fang. Now we are going to have a good show."

"That's right. No matter how talented she is, she can't win against four people. With so many people attacking her together, how can she possibly win?"

"I think she'll be skinned alive this time!"

From the crowd, voices of gloating murmurs echoed. Yan Yue stood quietly in the center of the encirclement, her gaze sweeping across the mocking faces around her. Without a trace of panic, she felt a surge of cold murderous intent. In her previous life, she had been killed by such a conspiracy. Now, given a new life, she would never repeat the same mistake!

Senior Brother Qin walked up to Yan Yue with a snarl in his face, "Yan Yue, weren't you already very powerful? Why aren't you so arrogant now? I wonder how long you can keep your stubbornness going!"

Yan Yue looked at him coldly, a hint of disdain on his lips: "Brother Qin, do you think you can defeat me with just these people? You underestimate me too much."

"Hmph, you're still stubborn even when death is imminent!" Senior Brother Qin was furious and shouted, "Go!"

Several disciples rushed forward, attacking Yan Yue with all sorts of spells and weapons. Suddenly, light shone everywhere, sword energy surged, and the scene became a chaotic mess. The onlookers retreated, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Yan Yue was trapped in the middle, seemingly in a precarious situation. She nimbly dodged the attacks but never fought back, as if she was truly powerless to resist.

"It seems Yan Yue is just so-so. I thought she was so powerful."

"That's right, just pretending!"

The mocking voices around him grew louder, and a smug smile appeared on Senior Brother Qin's face. He thought Yan Yue was at the end of his rope, and victory was just around the corner.

However, at this moment, Yan Yue's eyes suddenly became fierce. She took a deep breath, slowly raised her hands, and silently recited an obscure spell... A strange energy wave emanated from her, and the air around her seemed to solidify.

"What's going on?" Someone noticed something was wrong and asked in surprise.

Senior Brother Qin also felt something was wrong. An inexplicable fear suddenly arose in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.

However, it's too late.

A cold smile appeared on Yan Yue's lips, and he uttered a word softly: "Break!"

……

… "Break!" As the word uttered, a dazzling golden light erupted from Yan Yue's body, like the rising sun, instantly illuminating the entire training ground. This golden light wasn't pure gold, but was laced with strands of purple arcs, emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation. Everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and a powerful shockwave swept over them, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.

This was the modified lightning spell from Yan Yue's past life—"Purple Gold Thunderstorm." In her past life, she had used this spell to defeat the stronger, successfully challenging opponents of higher rank. Now, although her cultivation hadn't yet fully recovered, the power of this modified "Purple Gold Thunderstorm" was still not to be underestimated.

The golden light faded, and smoke and dust filled the air. Senior Brother Qin and the other disciples collapsed to the ground in disarray, their clothes torn, their hair disheveled, their faces etched with terror. They had never imagined that Yan Yue had hidden such formidable strength.

The disciples watching were stunned and silent. They had originally thought that Yan Yue was bound to lose, but they had not expected such a dramatic reversal.

"What kind of spell is this?" someone muttered to himself, his tone full of disbelief.

"She...she is so strong?"

Elder Su and Commander Fang's expressions also turned grim. They had originally thought that Yan Yue was just a talented farm girl, not a big deal, but they had never expected her to possess such formidable strength. This was completely beyond their expectations.

Senior Brother Qin struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with resentment. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Yan Yue fiercely: "You... you dare to hide your strength!"

Yan Yue smiled contemptuously: "What? You are allowed to use underhanded tactics, but I am not allowed to hide my strength?"

Furious and humiliated, Senior Brother Qin summoned an even more powerful magical weapon—a jet-black flying sword. This flying sword, called the "Black Evil Sword," was crafted from millennia-old black iron, possessing an incredibly sharp edge and incredible power.

"Yan Yue, I will make you pay the price today!" Senior Brother Qin roared, urging the Black Evil Sword to attack Yan Yue again.

Several other disciples also took out their own magic weapons and followed Senior Brother Qin to besiege Yan Yue.

Yan Yue remained unfazed despite the siege. Her movements were nimble and graceful, like a dancing butterfly, weaving effortlessly through the attacks. She cleverly used the surrounding trees and rocks as cover, neutralizing the enemy's attacks one by one.

Then she started fighting back.

Yan Yue didn't use powerful spells, but instead opted for a more flexible close combat technique. Her body was as fast as lightning, her punches and kicks as swift as the wind, each move incredibly precise, hitting the enemy's vital points.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

There were bursts of dull noises, and several disciples were hit by Yan Yue and fell to the ground.

Although Senior Brother Qin had the Black Evil Sword to protect him, he was gradually unable to withstand Yan Yue's attacks. His movements became slower and slower, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Yan Yue seized the opportunity and slapped Senior Brother Qin on the chest.

"puff!"

Senior Brother Qin spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and lost consciousness.

After the battle, Yan Yue stood proudly without a single scar on his body.

The disciples watching were already stunned and silent. They could never have imagined that Yan Yue was so powerful, fighting alone against many opponents and still emerging victorious without a scratch.

Commander Fang's face was terribly gloomy. He looked at Yan Yue, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "Looks like I have to take action myself..."

Commander Fang took a step forward, his spiritual energy surging around him, and a powerful pressure came towards Yan Yue. His face was gloomy, and his tone was cold: "Little girl, you do have some skills, but after all, you are only a junior in the Qi Refining Stage. How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!"

Elder Su frowned upon seeing this, stepped forward and stood in front of Yan Yue, saying in a deep voice, "Commander Fang, the assessment should be done at this point. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"

Commander Fang snorted coldly, "Elder Su, this girl has no respect for her elders and is ruthless. If she's not punished, won't she become even more lawless in the future? I just want to teach her a lesson, so she understands the rules!"

Elder Su said firmly, "This is the rule of the assessment. We need to stop at the right time. Yan Yue has not violated any rules. If Commander Fang insists on taking action, I'm afraid it will give people an excuse to criticize him."

The two exchanged sharp words, and the atmosphere was tense. The disciples watching dared not utter a word, fearing they would be dragged into the dispute.

Hidden in the shadows, Nong Jin gazed at Yan Yue with a burning gaze, his eyes filled with both admiration and concern. He clenched his fists and thought to himself, "Yue'er, you've done well! But be careful, Commander Fang's strength shouldn't be underestimated."

Yan Yue felt Nong Jin's gaze, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She smiled slightly, her eyes firm, as if responding to Nong Jin's worry: Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Just as Commander Fang was about to make a move, a cold voice came from the sky: "Stop!"

Everyone looked up and saw an old man in white, with an immortal look, slowly descending. This old man was none other than the head of the Lingyun Immortal Cultivation Sect—Master Lingyun.

Master Lingyun's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Commander Fang. He spoke in a stern tone, "Commander Fang, as the outer sect leader, you don't set an example yourself, but instead take the lead in violating the assessment rules. How disgraceful!"

Commander Fang's expression changed, and he quickly bowed and saluted: "Master, I didn't mean to break the rules, but this girl..."

Master Lingyun raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "The results of the assessment have been finalized. Yan Yue has won. This matter ends here, and no one is allowed to pursue it further."

After saying this, Master Lingyun turned and looked at Yan Yue, a glint of approval in his eyes: "Yan Yue, you are gifted and determined, and you will become a great man in the future. Practice hard and don't let your talent go to waste."

Yan Yue bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will definitely keep them in mind."

Master Lingyun nodded, then turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.

With the departure of Master Lingyun, the oppressive atmosphere dissipated. Commander Fang, though unwilling to give in, had no choice but to give up. He glared fiercely at Yan Yue and turned away.

Elder Su walked up to Yan Yue and softened his tone, "Yan Yue, you performed very well. I look forward to your performance in the next exploration of the ruins."

Yan Yue smiled slightly: "Thank you for the praise, Elder Su. I will do my best."

Elder Su nodded and turned to leave.

The disciples who were watching cast envious and admiring glances at Yan Yue and talked about him a lot.

"I didn't expect Yan Yue to be so powerful. Even Commander Fang is no match for her."

"Yes, and she has also been appreciated by the headmaster. Her future is limitless!"

Yan Yue turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions. She looked up at the sky and thought to herself, "Nong Jin, thank you for your continued support. I will work harder and fight alongside you soon."

Although the assessment crisis has temporarily subsided, it has laid the groundwork for the next exploration of the ruins. During the exploration of the ruins, Yan Yue will face more unknown dangers and challenges. Can she overcome the dangers, continue to play the pig and eat the tiger, and finally realize her revenge plan?
