Chapter 584: Chapter 260: King Among the Young Generation, Luo Cheng’s Rival!

Similarly stunned were the elders of Luoxia Sect on the clouds.

Upon learning that Yu Lanxin began to comprehend Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend and had reached Half-step Great Power, they thought the battle’s outcome was already decided, with no other possibility.

Yet Luo Cheng reversed the situation, blocking Yu Lanxin’s fierce edge!

Some elders with discerning eyes even noticed that in the clash of Sword Intent, Luo Cheng seemed to have the upper hand over Yu Lanxin!

Such a result brought an overwhelming shock to them.

An elder could not help but exclaim: “This child is terrifying, managing to withstand Yu Lanxin with the Eighth Layer Peak Realm. Could it be that after Yun Mengli, the Xuanyuan Sect is rising with another prodigious talent? And a Sword Dao genius at that!”

“Not necessarily. He can rival Yu Lanxin only by cultivating some secret technique to boost combat strength. Such techniques often cannot last and have significant side effects, not true strength. If the battle continues, Luo Cheng will surely lose!”

Someone shook their head in disagreement and continued: “Moreover, no matter how strong Luo Cheng is now, he has awakened a Wasted Martial Soul and may likely run out of potential. It’s hard to say how much he will achieve in the future, unable to compare to a true prodigious talent like Yun Mengli.”

Upon hearing this, the elders nodded.

The Martial Soul is too important for cultivation and will become increasingly so, deciding a person’s potential.

No matter how strong the other talents, a Wasted Martial Soul becomes a shackle, restraining the steps towards higher realms.

Additionally, this shackle becomes increasingly unbearable as cultivation improves!

“Regardless of his future, today he indeed made a stunning impression, and he will soon be famous throughout the Great Yue Dynasty! Should he truly comprehend Sword Intent in the Awakening Vein Realm, he might even set foot on the Domain List, renowned in the Yunlan Domain Group!”

Bi Qiushui admired Luo Cheng greatly and smiled as she looked at his distinguished figure: “If that day truly comes, his achievements will surely inspire many. In these turbulent times, the young generation, long slackened, needs such kind of motivation.”

“Haha, being overshadowed by someone with a Wasted Martial Soul, surely many won’t be convinced. Especially those from the Fierce Cloud Sect, they always hold their heads high and look down on Xuanyuan Sect’s people.”

“Comprehending true Sword Intent in the Awakening Vein Realm is easier said than done. Setting foot on the Domain List is even more improbable. Even the Inner Sect’s chief disciple Yun Tianyan from Fierce Cloud Sect couldn’t achieve it.”

The elders of Luoxia Sect had a lively discussion.

Unlike Fierce Cloud Sect, Luoxia Sect had no grudges with Xuanyuan Sect, and they did not have much thought on Luo Cheng’s forceful rise.

Even when Qi Yue and Yu Lanxin suffered big setbacks at Luo Cheng’s hands, their dissatisfaction was brief, quickly accepting reality.

After all, competition creates pressure, and pressure stimulates potential. If the young generation loses competition, they lose vigor and ambition.

During the discussion, Elder Bi Qiushui looked towards another cloud layer.

Yin Li had already left sometime unknown.

On the desolate island.

Luo Cheng and Yu Lanxin joined up with Yan Qingshuang and others.

Yan Qingshuang and the Ninth Princess eyed Luo Cheng, their beautiful eyes rippling as if knowing him for the first time.

The Ninth Princess Jin Yuxi, being quick-tempered, couldn’t help but say: “Are you still the Luo Cheng I knew?”

Luo Cheng laughed: “How could it be fake?”

“Your speed of progress is too terrifying! Who could have imagined that a year ago, your cultivation was slightly lower than mine?” The Ninth Princess muttered with a small face, feeling both amazed and fortunate.

She had doubted the Eldest Prince Jin Tiandu’s goodwill towards Luo Cheng.

Now it seemed like placing a bet on the right person!

Yan Qingshuang felt the same as the Ninth Princess.

Today’s events completely overturned her understanding of Luo Cheng.

Qi Yue kept her head down, lightly biting her lips, saying nothing.

Yu Lanxin glanced at Qi Yue and said: “Alright, let’s go back for now. Let’s not spread today’s events for the time being. Luo Cheng, do you agree?”

“Alright.”

Luo Cheng didn’t care much about fame and had no objection, as this saved many troubles.

The five left the island, sweeping towards the main island.

On the way, Luo Cheng asked: “Yu Lanxin, you previously mentioned being able to block your last sword, that within the Inner Sects of the Three Great Sects, there are less than three qualified to compete with me. Who are they?”

Yu Lanxin slowed down and said: “Besides me, one is your Xuanyuan Sect’s Inner Sect chief disciple, Pang Yueyang, first on the Xuanhe List! The other two are disciples from Fierce Cloud Sect, their Inner Sect chief disciple Yun Tianyan and second-ranked Liu Jue!”

Giving Luo Cheng a look, Yu Lanxin added: “However, based on your displayed combat strength, Pang Yueyang and Liu Jue pose little threat, and the outcome is fifty-fifty. You should most focus on Yun Tianyan.”

Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow: “Yun Tianyan?”

Yu Lanxin nodded solemnly: “Yun Tianyan is also a swordsman, with outstanding talent, not only awakening a Ten-star Flame Martial Soul but also already reaching the Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype Realm. He has a record of killing three Peak of Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm experts with one sword, leaving no trace of their remains, extremely terrifying! Known as the Burning Flame Sword!”

“Moreover, not long ago, Yun Tianyan competed for the Domain List, ranked one hundred and second, just shy of making it on the list.”

Luo Cheng’s gaze flickered: “One hundred and second!”

Yu Lanxin nodded and laughed self-mockingly: “There are even rumors in the martial world that if the Three Sects’ Inner Sect chief disciples fought, even if I teamed up with Pang Yueyang, Yun Tianyan could kill us both with one sword. Saying he is the king of the younger generation within the Three Sect’s Inner Sect, unmatched by anyone.”

“Is he really that strong?”

This surprised Luo Cheng.

Candidly, he couldn’t manage to defeat Yu Lanxin in one move; it would take several moves at least if fighting all out.

Yu Lanxin smiled: “That was before. Now I have confidence to battle Yun Tianyan. However, merely holding ground is possible, yet victory remains hopeful. A genius awakening the Spirit Martial Soul stands out; you’ll understand upon meeting him someday.”

Luo Cheng nodded, his expression unchanged, silently memorizing the name Yun Tianyan.

Whether competing for the Domain List or reigning over the Three Great Sects’ Inner Sect, becoming the king of the younger generation, he must defeat him.

Soon, they returned to the main island.

Nearby disciples of Luoxia Sect focused their gazes, buzzing with speculations on the battle’s outcome.

Yu Lanxin dismissed them with a few words.

Luo Cheng took the chance to announce his intent to leave.

“You’re leaving?”

Upon hearing Luo Cheng planned to leave, Yu Lanxin immediately asked: “Do you want to come with us to the Black Cloud Mountain Range?”

“Black Cloud Mountain Range?”

“Seems you’re unaware.”

Yu Lanxin explained: “The Three Great Sects have already searched half the Black Cloud Mountain Range. Locating the Blood Nether Sect’s outposts is only a matter of time.”

“Moreover, with Blood Nether Sect disciples frequently appearing and battles often occurring, the Three Great Sects are dispatching more people. We plan to go in the next couple of days, you can join us!”
