"Hmph, truly incorrigible. Your Cyan Mountain Sword Sect is too arrogant in this Cyan Profound competition. This time, I'll show you your true worth!" Cui Yan's expression was proud, full of mockery in his eyes.

Beneath the arena, a few youths witnessing this scene wore expressions of indignation, saying, "Jiang Yixing, step down and let me teach this bastard a lesson!"

They had also joined the Battle Academy as disciples of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect in previous years, and upon seeing Jiang Yixing's predicament, they all showed expressions of reluctance.

Jiang Yixing's prowess had broken through to the first level of the Yang Wheel, allowing him to defeat those at the peak of the first level using his Martial Intent.

Cui Yan was only at the peak of the first Yang Wheel level; in terms of strength, he was no match for Jiang Yixing. However, using despicable means, he employed a poisonous dart to harm Jiang Yixing, affecting his combat power.

Cui Yan was extremely jealous of the talent Jiang Yixing displayed, so he wanted to cripple Jiang Yixing on the arena and vent his anger!

With a flicker of his figure, Cui Yan's body drew a residual shadow, charging towards Jiang Yixing.

In his view, Jiang Yixing was now at his weakest, making it a breeze to deal with him.

However, at that instant, Jiang Yixing's gaze suddenly became ice-cold. As Cui Yan approached, Jiang Yixing suddenly erupted, his Long Blade releasing a brilliant glow as it slashed toward Cui Yan.

"What!" Cui Yan hadn't expected Jiang Yixing to still have the strength to resist, and his expression instantly changed in shock.

The Cyan Mountain Sword Sect disciples beneath the arena saw this and shouted in unison, "Yes!"

If this blade were to land on Cui Yan, even if it didn't kill him, it would severely wound him.

However, just as the blade was about to fall, a cloud of poison rose from Jiang Yixing's face, and the spiritual power within his body surged again.

Although the poison wasn't fatal, it was extremely tricky. In the midst of combat, there was simply no time to deal with it.

The erupting momentum dissipated instantly, and before Jiang Yixing's blade could fall, his body collapsed.

"Hahaha, fool!" Cui Yan was overjoyed at the sight, though he felt a bit unsettled. He laughed and then angrily exclaimed, "Bastard, you almost scared me!"

Bam!

He kicked Jiang Yixing in the abdomen, causing his organs to tremble, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

Seeing this, Cui Yan's face lit up with a maniacal smile as he said, "Do you concede? Do you concede?"

Lying on the ground, Jiang Yixing glared at Cui Yan and then spat a mouthful of black blood at his face.

Cui Yan became furious again and stomped on Jiang Yixing's arm holding the blade, with a crackling sound, the arm directly broke.

Jiang Yixing trembled in pain, his veins bulging, but he didn't utter a single sound.

Cui Yan sneered, "Endure? Let's see how long you can endure!"

Saying that, Cui Yan aimed at Jiang Yixing's Dantian, intending to directly cripple his cultivation.

At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed onto the arena and snatched Jiang Yixing from under his feet.

"Who! Who dares interfere in my duel!" Cui Yan was furious when Jiang Yixing disappeared, looking to the side of the arena.

There, Chu Nan held the pale-faced Jiang Yixing, shocked by Cui Yan's insidious methods.

"Good job, I'll take over from here."

Seeing Chu Nan arrive, Jiang Yixing breathed a sigh of relief and finally couldn't hold on, passing out.

Handing Jiang Yixing over to Zheng Yao, Chu Nan looked at Cui Yan and said, "I am Chu Nan of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect."

"Chu Nan?" Cui Yan's expression briefly hesitated, quickly reacting with a sneer, "So you're Chu Nan, the first in this year's Cyan Profound competition."

"But even so, you have no right to stop my duel with Jiang Yixing!"

Chu Nan slowly said, "Jiang Yixing has already conceded. For the remaining three matches, I'll compete with your Canglan Sect!"

Upon hearing this, many people under the arena looked astonished. They hadn't seen Chu Nan in action and thought it was too presumptuous for him to challenge veteran disciples upon entering the Battle Academy.

Didn't you see the fate Jiang Yixing just met with?

Several senior brothers of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect frowned, with a handsome youth saying, "Chu Nan, I know you want to avenge the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, but don't act on impulse. Let me handle the next match."

He didn't believe Chu Nan, who had just entered the Battle Academy, could have the strength to defeat Cui Yan.

Chu Nan looked at that senior brother; although his cultivation at the fifth level of the Yang Wheel was not weak, and more than enough to deal with Cui Yan, he wanted to personally avenge Jiang Yixing and thus refused, "Don't worry, I don't see this Cui Yan as a threat."

Seeing Chu Nan's determination, the senior brother was somewhat helpless.

Over at the Canglan Sect, they had many disciples, more than double the number of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, and generally, their cultivation was higher.

Among them was someone Chu Nan knew, Zhou Yuan, who had spent a huge price to bribe the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall to reduce his fourteen-day contemplation on the Penitence Cliff to seven days. He had just come out today.

Upon seeing Chu Nan, his face immediately showed anger.

However, he knew Chu Nan's strength, which Cui Yan couldn't match, and was about to stop Cui Yan, but unexpectedly, Cui Yan became more excited upon seeing Chu Nan, who was even more talented than Jiang Yixing.

Cui Yan thought he could deal with Chu Nan just like he dealt with Jiang Yixing, so without hesitation, he said, "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan furrowed his brows, secretly cursing Cui Yan as an idiot.

Chu Nan didn't want to waste words with Cui Yan either; he intended to return all the evil Cui Yan had inflicted on Jiang Yixing!

"Since you agreed, let's begin."

Cui Yan placed his hands behind his back, preparing his poison darts, and as soon as the referee gave the command, he immediately attacked.

Over a dozen darts flew densely towards Chu Nan, each smeared with a toxin designed to weaken, entering the body with just a cut and proving difficult to guard against.

"What does it matter if you're a prodigy, you'll fall to me, Cui Yan!" Cui Yan felt extremely excited, as if he'd already seen the scene of Chu Nan falling poisoned.

This time, to be safe, he used a poison ten times stronger than what he used on Jiang Yixing!

Facing such a vicious attack, Chu Nan suddenly shouted.

The terrifying aura of a third level Yang Wheel exploded, with energy so powerful it scattered all the darts into disarray.

"What, it's actually the third level of the Yang Wheel!" Cui Yan was shocked, but it was already too late.

Some of the darts deflected by Chu Nan flew back towards Cui Yan with even greater speed, and before Cui Yan could react, his arm was covered with cuts.

Feeling the toxin about to enter his body, Cui Yan had no hesitation in conceding.

But Chu Nan gave him no chance, flashing to his side and covering his mouth with one hand, "You want to concede? It's not that easy."

"Didn't you intend to cripple Jiang Yixing's cultivation? Then I'll repay you in kind!"

Bang!

With a punch to Cui Yan's Dantian, Chu Nan didn't utter a single superfluous word.

Cui Yan felt his Dantian burst open like a balloon, his years of cultivation instantly dissipating. Overwhelmed by a sense of weakness, his body thudded to the ground on the arena.
