How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Just then, the four powerful figures shrouded in the true energy of grandmasters simultaneously threw out streams of light from their hands, and in an instant, it was as if a rain of light was falling from the sky.

One of the grandmasters said indifferently, "The autumn martial arts examination is a matter of life and death. Twenty breaths, the timer begins."

As soon as the words were spoken, the examinees immediately began to act, their sharp eyes fixed on the spirit stones falling from the sky, searching for the one closest to them, ready to snatch it at any moment.

Even worse, some completely ignored the spirit stones in the sky and directly attacked the examinees around them. Moreover, their attacks were extremely ruthless, aiming straight for the throat or the back of the head, causing the examinees to faint in an instant.

In just three breaths, the entire training ground was already in chaos.

Li Muyun looked up and saw a spirit stone falling from the sky three steps away. He immediately locked onto the target.

Just then, Pan Hong sneered repeatedly, waved his hand, and the people surrounding him instantly rushed towards Li Muyun. Each of them unleashed a torrent of martial arts techniques, their hands surging with internal energy.

The prince in the stands smiled slightly, "Li Muyun has already run into trouble at the very beginning. I'm afraid he doesn't even have the qualifications to face Li Tian'ao."

The King of Qin smiled slightly and said calmly, "They are nothing but a bunch of rats. Mu Yun can suppress them with ease."

As the two were chatting and laughing, Li Muyun suddenly shouted, waved his sleeve, and a burst of crimson lightning surged in his eyes. A series of electric arcs erupted from Li Muyun's body, instantly engulfing the henchmen and sending them flying with a crackling current.

"roll!"

Li Muyun glanced at them coldly. He knew that if he didn't deal with these lackeys first, it would be difficult to get the spirit stone easily. As the lackeys were knocked away, Li Muyun leaped up and headed straight for the spirit stone.

"Mid-grade Spirit Martial Skill: Fierce Dog Tear!"

Suddenly, Pan Hong stomped his feet on the ground, his robes shook violently, and his eighth-level Earth Profound True Qi erupted. He shot out like lightning, his hands forming claws, enveloped in True Qi, heading straight for Li Muyun's chest.

Pan Hong sneered repeatedly. Now that Li Muyun was in the air, he had nowhere to use his strength and could not move around. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

"what?"

The next second, Pan Hong's eyes widened in shock. He saw Li Muyun throw out several talismans, and the ground rumbled. A dragon rose from the ground, and Li Muyun stomped his foot, his figure rising again.

With a flash of electricity in his hand, the spirit stone was drawn into his grasp. He then tossed his white robes aside and landed gracefully.

Pan Hong was so angry his teeth itched. He hadn't expected Li Muyun to possess such magical abilities. He roared furiously, "Take it!"

These people's goal was to stop Li Muyun, and they didn't care if they couldn't advance themselves, so they ignored everyone else and swarmed towards Li Muyun.

With a frown, Li Muyun's expression turned cold. Did they really think he was a pushover after trying to snatch it again and again? With a wave of his hand, countless crimson arcs of electricity flashed around him, and a scorching and numbing aura spread out. He shouted coldly, "Thunder Technique - Crimson Thunder Waterfall!"

The blinding crimson lightning bolts shot out like a waterfall. The guys who attacked were only at the seventh or eighth level of the Earth Profound Realm, while Li Muyun was now at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They were no match for this lightning technique and were all knocked off balance by the lightning, screaming in agony.

Only Pan Hong unleashed his true energy, enduring the attack and shouting, "High-grade Spirit Martial Skill - Wild Dog Parts Its Mane!"

Pan Hong, as Lü Chengyu's lackey, was quite skilled, possessing a high-grade spirit-level martial skill. His true energy circulated wildly, his clothes rustled, and the ground beneath his feet shattered as he burst forth. A series of phantom images of true energy appeared in front of him, like vicious dogs pouncing towards him.

A terrifying aura swept in with a gale, causing Li Muyun's black hair to dance wildly. He simply clenched his right fist, stepped back with his right foot, and flipped his fist out. This punch was simple and unadorned, but if you looked closely, you could see that golden light was faintly emerging from Li Muyun's arm under his sleeve, and the patterns of a golden dragon were faintly visible.

"An immortal actually dared to withstand my superior-grade spirit-level martial skill with his bare fists! He's courting death!"

Pan Hong grinned maliciously and channeled all his inner energy. If he could successfully stop Li Muyun in the first round, the young marquis would surely reward him handsomely.

But the next moment, Li Muyun's fist directly dispersed Pan Hong's true energy, and then simply and plainly smashed into Pan Hong's fist.

The moment their fists collided, Pan Hong's expression changed drastically, his eyes widening. He felt as if his fist had struck millennia-old fiery iron, incredibly hot and indestructible. The force was immense; Pan Hong's fist cracked with each blow, and he was sent flying backward.

"boom!"

Pan Hong flew more than ten meters, knocking down countless innocent victims along the way. Everyone who was hit immediately fainted.

Those who had previously besieged Li Muyun were dumbfounded. Looking at Pan Hong, who was flying far away in a miserable state, they were all so frightened that they swallowed hard and retreated step by step.

On the stands, the Crown Prince's face also turned cold. "A bunch of useless trash."

The King of Qin said with a smile, "Your Highness, why be angry? It would be no fun if we decided the winner now."

The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his usually cold face. "Second brother is right. It would be too boring to end it now."

......

Not far from the Tian Ce training ground, a small pavilion offers a perfect view of everything.

Inside the pavilion were three young men, dressed in fine clothes and with extraordinary looks. Two of them were playing chess, while the other was observing the training ground with a cold eye.

One of the chess players, dressed in a white robe and holding a feather fan, was extremely handsome. He leisurely placed a piece, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I have just glimpsed the potential of this piece using the Wuhou Qimen method. Its momentum is like thunder. The young marquis's subordinates are nothing more than moths to a flame."

The other boy playing chess, dressed in black armor with a face covered in hideous scars and eyes filled with murderous arrogance, said disdainfully, "Lu Chengyu, your despicable behavior is a disgrace to the descendants of the Four Warlords!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Chengyu's expression turned slightly unpleasant, and he said coldly, "Huo Polu, who do you think you are? It's none of your business to tell me what to do. And you, Zhuge Danqing, you're just making things up, being sarcastic and unpredictable. What nonsense about 'the force of thunder'? I don't believe it!"

Zhuge Danqing gently waved his feather fan and replied with a smile, "Whether you believe it or not is fate. Young Marquis, we'll just have to wait and see."

Huo Polu coldly turned to look at Lü Chengyu, the chilling killing intent in his eyes like a drawn sword, instantly lowering the temperature of the small pavilion. He revealed a murderous smile and said, word by word, "What am I? Believe me or not, I'll kill you!"

"You crazy person!"

The terrifying killing intent left Lü Chengyu with no doubt that Huo Polu really wanted to kill him. Huo Polu had been fighting for many years, and his hands were stained with countless blood and innocent souls. Lü Chengyu did not want to provoke this madman.

Zhuge Danqing smoothed things over, laughing, "Gentlemen, now is not the time for our competition. This Li Muyun is quite interesting; why don't we continue to observe his performance..."
