Chapter 1002: Chapter 794: Third Seat

Jiang Lan and the other imperial envoys’ eyes narrowed, involuntarily reassessing Su Yuan.

However, Nangong Li did not seem too surprised. He had already perceived something when Su Yuan entered the hall.

Nangong Li smiled and proposed:

"Indeed, the Third Rank requires a certain level of strength, my lord. I suggest it this way.

Since Su Imperial Envoy has already advanced to Chongyang, why not let him duel a Three Suns Imperial Envoy?

If Su Imperial Envoy wins, his strength would be deemed sufficient, and he can assume the Vermilion Bird Third Rank;

If not, Su Imperial Envoy can take some time to cultivate further.

I’m confident that with Su Imperial Envoy’s talent, he would qualify for this position in a few years."

"Oh? That’s quite a good proposal." Fang Qingxiao nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Lan, "Jiang Lan, is this approach feasible?"

Jiang Lan nodded and replied, "All present are Three Suns Imperial Envoys. If Su Imperial Envoy can rival any of them, I have no objection."

Fang Qingxiao looked at Su Yuan: "Su Yuan, what about you?"

Su Yuan said, "I am at the disposal of my lord."

"Good." Fang Qingxiao surveyed those around him, setting his gaze on a chubby imperial envoy, "Ding Jin, you shall be Su Yuan’s opponent."

The chubby imperial envoy nodded in agreement, "Yes, my lord!"

Ding Jin, an expert in the Three Suns Realm, not listed on the Burning Sun List, was among the "young Three Suns" who entered the Three Suns Realm over a decade ago.

Naturally, even if weaker, he is still an expert in the Three Suns Realm of the Sky Patrol Department, not lacking in any aspect!

"As for the time... Su Yuan, you’ve just returned from the Western Desert, do you need some rest?"

"No need." Su Yuan smiled, "There is no better time than now, so let it be now."

"Fine!"

Fang Qingxiao raised his hand, a mass of gold-red fierce flame surged forth and spread abruptly through a slight rotation.

The scenery before everyone changed drastically, instantly enveloping them in a fiery purgatory filled with magma, heavenly fire, flame dragons, and more.

Fang Qingxiao sat atop a lotus of flames and said blandly, "Conduct it in my Flame Prison Realm, feel free to exert yourselves."

Nangong Li, Jiang Lan, and others each flew off, leaving the field to Su Yuan and Ding Jin.

Ding Jin looked towards Su Yuan and said, "Vermilion Bird Imperial Envoy Ding Jin, greetings to Su Imperial Envoy."

"Su Yuan, greetings to Ding Imperial Envoy."

Ding Jin retrieved a pair of hammers, speaking with a serious tone, "Although Su Imperial Envoy is only in the Chongyang Realm, this concerns the position of the Third Rank. I shall give it my all."

Su Yuan flipped his hand to bring out the Demon Saber, nodding, "I understand, please!"

The two exchanged a look, then with spiritual light bursting from their bodies, they leapt forth and clashed!

A scholarly male on the side asked, "Nangong True Monarch, do you think this Su Imperial Envoy could possibly defeat Ding Jin?"

After all, with Su Yuan just having ascended to Chongyang, facing the Three Suns Realm Ding Jin... it felt unlikely.

Nangong Li smiled, "Any battle is hard to predict, moreover... Su Imperial Envoy himself is a remarkably surprising expert, he indeed has a chance to win."

The scholarly male nodded, while Jiang Lan and the elder beside also watched the field intently.

"Clang, clang, clang...!"

The longsword and pair of hammers clashed rapidly, sparks flying and spiritual light bursting!

Though Ding Jin was corpulent, he proved to be a "nimble fat man."

His bulky body moved lightly like a butterfly, wielding the hammers with ease, swift and agile, at tricky angles, continually hammering at Su Yuan with the force of a violent storm!

Su Yuan spread his left hand to take out a black cross sword, both swords in hand, immediately increasing his sword-swing speed to pressure Ding Jin.

In terms of the closeness of pressure alone, the exceptionally swift Su Yuan was unmatched by a few margins more.

This battle was different from the past, not just any competitive contest, nor a life-and-death struggle.

As a battle to ascend the Vermilion Bird Third Rank, he not only had to win but also gain the approval of others.

Within a brief span, dozens of rounds had already passed.

Su Yuan surprisingly hadn’t fallen much behind, with the overlord body of Perfect Breathing, coupled with A-level strength and agility talent...

Not only was his power not lagging much behind Ding Jin, but he was also even faster!

Ding Jin, being a Three Suns Realm expert, was having a hard time handling Su Yuan, feeling somewhat disgraced.

With a thought, a mass of alarming thunder suddenly surged around the storm-entwined pair of hammers.

With the augmented force of wind and thunder, the hammers’ speed and power surged significantly, about to break past defensive barriers and land onto Su Yuan.

At this moment, a flourish of golden wind burst around Su Yuan, instantly launching a tenfold acceleration speedily cleaving toward Ding Jin’s chest!

With a "clang," the Demon Saber fell first, slicing Ding Jin aside!

Some blood trickled down Ding Jin’s chest as the sudden onslaught saw him countered by Su Yuan!

The scholarly male’s expression tensed, "Is that his Divine Wind?"

They had previously heard regarding Su Yuan’s intelligence, and it naturally included the Divine Wind and Divine Fire.

Jiang Lan intently said, "The power of time... Divine Wind List’s fourth, Returning Ruins Divine Wind!"

Ding Jin glanced at the wound on his chest, "Su Imperial Envoy, truly formidable!"

Then Ding Jin’s eyes widened, a whirlwind and electricity entwined with a screech, instantly condensing into a Wind and Thunder Armor outside his body!

"Be careful now!"

Ding Jin mildly shouted, taking a step forward, the wind and thunder roared and he vanished from the field.

The next instant, Ding Jin appeared before Su Yuan, hammer descending!

"So swift!"

Su Yuan’s expression slightly tensed, immediately swinging his sword to meet.

Yet, with a sizzle, the Demon Saber directly cut through Ding Jin’s body.

"Shadow Remnants!"

Su Yuan’s pupils constricted as infinite power suddenly radiated outwards!

A heavy hammer, wrapped in wind and thunder, came smashing towards Su Yuan’s back but was blocked by the infinite power.

"Oh? Such a mysterious force!" Ding Jin was surprised that it was blocked like this, and immediately shouted, "Wind Thunder Shock!"

Spirit light exploded, wind and thunder roared, and fierce winds and lightning burst from the hammer, the compound energy surged upwards like rising currents!

But with a flash of silver light, Su Yuan had already retreated!

The next moment, however, Ding Jin chased after him, as swift as lightning.

Su Yuan looked up, and saw Ding Jin’s wind and thunder residual images all around him, numbering in the hundreds!

Compound skill - Wind Thunder Thousand Movements.

The scholarly man chuckled, "Don’t underestimate him just because Ding Jin is stout; he’s actually the fastest in the entire Vermilion Bird Imperial!"

Jiang Lan looked at Su Yuan, "How will you handle it..."

But amid the many phantoms, a storm of wind and thunder shot out with speed imperceptible to the naked eye, aiming a punch at Su Yuan’s back!

The wind and thunder on the fist exploded, the air roared, and the impact slightly surpassed the limits of the all-encompassing infinite power.

However, at that moment, starlight blazed brightly across Su Yuan’s body, and with a "clang," he sidestepped and blocked Ding Jin’s fist with his sword!

"Hmm?!"

Ding Jin showed a look of surprise, having not expected Su Yuan to block his attack.

When Su Yuan turned his head, Ding Jin noticed Su Yuan’s eyes, with those beautiful silver pupils, had entirely turned into a captivating silvery brilliance, with even the pupils invisible.

"One Heart Dustless?!"

Jiang Lan and others looked at the substantial brilliance in Su Yuan’s eyes with surprise.

It turned out to be One Heart Dustless!

Even among the Burning Sun Level, those who comprehend ultimate skills are few.

As his attack missed, Ding Jin transformed into wind and thunder once again and retreated, instantly charging from another direction.

Under One Heart Dustless, every move was incredibly clear. Su Yuan, seeming prescient, swung his sword again!

"Clang clang clang...!"

In an instant, they exchanged twenty to thirty moves, and every time, Su Yuan precisely blocked Jiang Lan’s attacks with his sword.

Ding Jin’s heart grew heavier, wind and thunder intensified around him, and in an instant, the surrounding wind and thunder shadows moved as one!

The scholarly youth solemnly said, "Here it comes, Wind Thunder Residual Image! It can transform the shadows into clones that possess actual combat power within a short time, with quantity and quality not much inferior to the main body!"

"Kill!"

Over a hundred wind and thunder residual images launched storm and thunder roars, attacking Su Yuan from all directions. The full power of the Three Suns Realm, even its clones, could crush the all-encompassing infinite power!

Faced with a barrage of shadow attacks, Su Yuan under One Heart Dustless remained calm as still water, showing no change in expression.

"Oath of Returning Ruins..."

Golden light surged; the Oath of Returning Ruins activated instantly, but it seemed to only enhance his strength by about thirty percent.

Yet thirty percent was enough...

Su Yuan wielded twin swords, initiated ten times acceleration, and countless fierce Void Sword Qi shot out like torrential rain!

Cold light flickered chaotically, sword energy crisscrossed, quickly and precisely tearing apart the approaching wind and thunder residual images!

"Boom boom boom...!"

The wind and thunder residual images exploded continuously, and among them, Ding Jin’s true body charged towards him!

Yet, in the next moment, he was blocked by a force far exceeding the previous infinite power.

"Hmm?" Ding Jin looked up and saw Su Yuan raising his left hand towards him.

Targeted infinite power, its power doubled!

At this moment, when Ding Jin faced Su Yuan’s eyes, he found that those sparkling silver pupils were filled with overwhelming spiritual fluctuations!

"Something’s wrong!" Ding Jin was just about to retreat.

"Instant Unlimited!"

Ding Jin’s pupils constricted, suddenly feeling the scene in front of him infinitely stretched, then he stood still, dazed.

Even the numerous wind and thunder shadows he controlled outside exploded one by one in an instant.

Su Yuan remained calm, his Demon Saber quivering, Divine Break Sword Light rushed the blade, and with a raised hand, he slashed towards Ding Jin!

But at that moment, a golden-red fire ignited at the sword tip.

The originally unstoppable Divine Break Sword Light was unable to cut through the fire the slightest bit!

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, lifting his gaze to the Fang Qingxiao sitting on the fire lotus, and he stopped his move.

"Alright, the winner is decided." Fang Qingxiao spoke slowly, then snapped his fingers.

With a "whoosh" sound, golden-red fire surged, and in the infinite impact of information, the fire was reflected in Ding Jin’s eyes, awakening him immediately.

"That move was mind control?!" Ding Jin looked at Su Yuan, feeling a chill in his heart.

In that situation just now, even he couldn’t guarantee enduring till the control ended!

Ding Jin took a deep breath, then cupped his fists, "Su Imperial Envoy possesses formidable strength; I admit defeat... Respect!"

Su Yuan dispersed One Heart Dustless, saying, "It was just sparring; in a life-and-death battle, I might not necessarily win against Ding Imperial Envoy."

Seeing this, Fang Qingxiao said, "Since Su Yuan is victorious, he will take over as the Vermilion Bird Third Rank."

Jiang Lan and the others heard this and naturally had no objections, saying one after another, "Congratulations to Su Imperial Envoy on your promotion to Third Rank!"

The peak of Instant Unlimited was merely the final decisive means.

More importantly, it was the strength, speed, Divine Wind, and secret skills Su Yuan exhibited before...

At the very least, Su Yuan indeed possessed combat power comparable to the Three Suns Realm!
