Firefly Journey

Lin Yuanran and Yan Jinglei bowed to each other.

"Please enlighten me, Senior Brother!"

"Junior brother, don't hold back."

It's very comfortable to be around someone like Yan Jinglei. He won't change his attitude because of your status or position; he's a pure cultivator.

Neither of them made the first move.

Lin Yuanran already knew Yan Jinglei's background on Songhua Mountain that day. This senior brother of the Star Moon Alliance's strongest weapon was the Xuanlong Sword.

At this moment, he held his sword in his hand, showing no sign of underestimating him.

After digesting the initial pill, Lin Yuanran was able to stabilize his late-stage Void Travel realm, reaching the same level as Yan Jinglei.

However, the previous mission indicated that Yan Jinglei may have taken another step forward and entered the legendary Jade Pool Realm.

However, that's unlikely, because if Yan Jinglei really broke through his realm, he wouldn't participate in this Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament. After all, he's already reached the level of an elder in the Jade Pool Realm. It would be too petty of him to compete with the other disciples for such a small reward.

Lin Yuanran felt that Yan Jinglei's cultivation level was now very close to the Jade Pool Realm, but he was still missing a chance to break through.

This is the fact.

After obtaining Hongxuan and Yunlu Fruit, Yan Jinglei quickly used the influence of the sect leader to have Qingfeng Daoist refine a pill for him.

After digesting the information, Yan Jinglei's cultivation level advanced further, approaching the Jade Pool stage, but he was still missing something and could not take that step.

"Big Brother, I'm sorry!"

Lin Yuanran made the first move, unleashing a powerful Fiery Dragon.

The raging, violent fire dragon swept towards Yan Jinglei, but Yan Jinglei remained calm. His sharp eyes had already discerned that the fire dragon was merely bait and had no real power.

With a single swing of the sword, the fire dragon was indeed severed in two. However, the fire dragon, now separated from its head and tail, did not dissipate. Instead, it grew a head and a tail, splitting into two fire dragons!

This is interesting. Yan Jinglei became inexplicably excited.

Lin Yuanran controlled the two fire dragons and attacked Yan Jinglei again.

With two more swift sword strikes, the two fire dragons were severed once again.

Just like before, the broken fire dragon seemed to possess endless vitality, constantly reorganizing and reborn.

In just four or five minutes, dozens of fire dragons coiled around Yan Jinglei, creating a spectacular scene.

Throughout the entire duel arena, Yan Jinglei was enveloped by a fire dragon, making him completely invisible.

However, most people were not worried at all. Yan Jinglei's reputation was deeply engraved in everyone's hearts, and they firmly believed that their senior brother would never lose!

Boom!

From within the fire dragon's embrace, a white dragon burst forth, dispelling all the fire dragons before vanishing without a trace.

Sword energy?

On that day on Songhua Mountain, Lin Yuan had not seen Yan Jinglei use this technique, which suggests that Yan Jinglei's understanding of swordsmanship has improved over the past few days.

The dispersal of the fire dragon was of no consequence to Lin Yuanran. Both the original fire dragon and the fire dragons that split off later were merely a means of testing the waters.

The goal has been achieved, that's enough. Now, it's time to give it our all!

Lin Yuanran slowly took out a staff.

That was the "Hymn of Darkness".

For a mage, a good staff is no less important than a good sword for enhancing a peerless swordsman. The previous battle was not because Lin Yuanran was overconfident, but because his opponent was not strong enough to make him summon "Darkness Blessing".

The fact that he brought it out at this moment is enough to prove that Yan Jinglei put a lot of pressure on him.

In fact, Fengling also has a staff called "Silver Moon". Lin Yuanran rarely saw her use it, so there were probably very few occasions when she could use Silver Moon.

Seeing Lin Yuanran pull out a black staff, Yan Jinglei's face twitched. This guy really knows how to hide his strength.

It doesn't matter. No matter how strong you are, I will still kill you with a single sword strike!

As the Xuanlong Sword was drawn, a white dragon roared, and Yan Jinglei charged forward with the sword, his momentum like a mountain collapsing and a sea falling!

The sword strike, imbued with Yan Jinglei's life's cultivation, pierced straight towards Lin Yuanran.

Lin Yuanran understood that he wanted a quick victory. Unfortunately for him, Lin Yuanran was no ordinary person either.

"Divine Oracle. Flame Rain".

With a silent chant, Lin Yuanran raised his staff high. Facing Yan Jinglei's fierce attack, he did not retreat at all. As he chanted his spell, flames surged one after another above the entire dueling arena.

Then, they all fell down at once!

The scene was like a rain of fire!

The speed at which the flames fell seemed to be far slower than the speed at which Yan Jinglei rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, Yan Jinglei had already reached Lin Yuanran's front!

Did you win?!

boom!

The white dragon sword energy pierced through Lin Yuanran's body and struck the invisible wall at the edge of the dueling arena, but missed?

From an observer's perspective, it is clear what happened.

Everyone was shocked. Just now, when Yan Jinglei's sword energy swept over, Lin Yuanran disappeared from the spot and went to the top of the dueling arena!

He treads on the rain of fire, as if he were directing the actions of the fiery rain!

Missing his first attack, Yan Jinglei reacted quickly, noticing the strangeness, and blocked the rain of flames with his sword.

When he saw Lin Yuanran at the source of the flames, he understood everything.

Even though the outcome seemed uncertain to outsiders, he no longer wanted to fight. Watching the sparks fly one after another, he seemed to have gained some insight.

He sheathed the Xuanlong Sword and bowed to Lin Yuanran in the sky.

"I lost."

After saying this, Yan Jinglei ignored everyone's astonishment, mounted his sword, and flew away towards his cave.

Opportunity!

From the fire rain just now, he realized the opportunity to break through his realm. As long as he goes into seclusion, when he comes out again, he will definitely be a Jade Pool Realm expert!

He clearly preferred breaking through to a higher realm to gain empty fame!

"This……"

"Senior Brother actually lost??!"

"It's unimaginable just how powerful Ario is!"

Tang Shenglian, who was in the spectator area, was worried when she saw Yan Jinglei rushing away, and her eyes turned grim when she looked at Lin Yuanran.

But she also knew that Yan Jinglei still had the strength to spare, and since he had chosen to leave, there seemed to be no reason for her to be angry.

The Qing Tang Sect Leader, who knew his disciple best, felt a sense of relief. The Star Moon Alliance was about to gain another Jade Pool Realm expert. Unexpectedly, Yan Jinglei actually broke through the realm through battle.

“I knew it, Ario would do it,” Han Yi said smugly.

He Suoqiu, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth, wanting to speak but unable to, his feelings extremely complicated.

He felt uncomfortable about his friend's defeat, but since Lin Yuanran was from the Zhulai Peak lineage and had won against Yan Jinglei, he seemed to share in the glory.

"Junior Brother Ario truly has remarkable skills!" Zhang Yu, a disciple of Helai Peak who had some acquaintance with Lin Yuanran, praised sincerely.

Beside him was his longtime partner, Meng Buzheng.

"Yes, yes."

Meng Buzheng's back was covered in cold sweat!

He can defeat Yan Jinglei?? Then why did I look down on him before?

He has such a good temper...

Meng Buzheng grew increasingly frightened. If it had been someone with a violent temper, he probably would have been ground to dust on the spot the moment he opened his mouth to utter his first words!

Ario is a kind person after all!
