Wang Hai's mind went blank for several breaths before he finally recovered himself and made his way toward Wang Jiacai's fallen figure. He quickly channeled his divine energy to ease the latter's pain.
While Wang Jiacai might be racked with pain, his breathing wasn't actually too weak, nor were his internal injuries too serious.
Wang Hai's gaze fell onto the broken gauntlet on the ground, and his pupils immediately shrank in shock.
The gauntlet was made of the best material and had already reached the Divine Transformation rank, yet it was broken by Yun Lintian's bare hand. It could be seen how powerful Yun Lintian's physique was.
Yun Lintian paid no heed to Wang Jiacai further. He turned to a beautiful woman clad in a pale yellow robe and said. "I would like to challenge you."
The beautiful woman, Lan Shu, was the current generation's prodigy of the Illustrious Lake Sect. Her reputation was, in fact, on the same level as Jian Ziqi and Wang Jiacai. Because she rarely appeared in public, people didn't know much about her true strength.
However, Yun Lintian could see the extraordinary trait in her soul. Obviously, she was someone with a special soul.
"Senior sister…" Lan Yu couldn't help looking at her senior sister worriedly. After witnessing Yun Lintian's absolute might, she developed an inner fear of him. Even though her senior sister was powerful, she didn't think she could fight Yun Lintian.
Lan Shu turned to her junior sister and said with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. I know what to do."
"Be careful." An old woman behind her said.
Lan Shu nodded gently and flew onto the stage. She cupped her fists and said politely. "The Illustrious Lake Sect's Lan Shu. Please enlighten me."
She turned her hand, and a flickering blue light extended to both sides of her hand. Immediately, a long aqua-blue silhouette appeared in her hand.
"It's the Illustrious Lake Painting Scroll." Qin Mei said. "It's said to be an inheritance from the ancient era. It seems to be true… It could definitely be sold in an astronomical number."
Lan Shu slowly opened the aqua-blue scroll, revealing a mesmerizing painting of the lake. Immediately, a blue light flashed, and both Yun Lintian and Lan Shu went still without moving an inch.
At this moment, Yun Lintian found himself standing in the heart of a vast lake. He looked around curiously as the cold and tingling sensation he felt from the water below was extremely real. It was as if he had been transported into the painting.
Suddenly, a wisp of faint blue light spilled down, instantly transforming into an enormous water dragon as it came falling into Yun Lintian.
The force emitting from the water dragon was not bad, but it didn't make Yun Lintian feel the slightest pressure. After all, he was someone who inherited the Azure Dragon bloodline.
Yun Lintian didn't even attack the incoming dragon. He merely shifted himself to avoid it.
In that instant, several water chains shot out from the lake and wrapped around him, making Yun Lintian unable to move away.
The water dragon opened its mouth wide, aiming to swallow Yun Lintian alive.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly, and azure-colored lights abruptly lit up in his eyes as he stared at the incoming dragon.
In the outside world, everyone saw Lan Shu slowly walk toward Yun Lintian while holding the painting scroll.
When she arrived before him, she calmly placed her right hand on Yun Lintian's chest and exerted her strength, trying to push Yun Lintian out of the arena.
"She won!" Lan Yu was overjoyed at seeing this scene.
Just as everyone thought Yun Lintian would be sent away, his aura abruptly burst out, blasting Lan Shu away.
While shocked, Lan Shu instinctively reacted by turning the painting scroll. Instantly, a large amount of water torrents shot out of the painting scroll, forming several water curtains around the arena.
Yun Lintian regained consciousness and stared at Lan Shu with a faint smile. He then raised his hand, and the water curtains abruptly shook before transforming into a giant water dragon.
As he waved his hand, the giant dragon rushed toward Lan Shu with a deafening roar.
Lan Shu's face went ghastly pale. She didn't expect Yun Lintian to forcibly control her power by just waving his hand like this.
She quickly raised the painting scroll and injected her divine energy into it. Instantly, a huge water wall appeared before her, welcoming the water dragon.
Boom!
The water wall and dragon collided and exploded, spilling around like torrential rain.
"Watch out!" While Lan Shu was about to stabilize herself, she suddenly heard Lan Yu shout.
Before she could know it, Yun Lintian had already stood beside her and extended his hand to grab her arm.
What was left in Lan Shu's vision at this moment was that handsome face behind the droplets of rain before the view quickly changed. The next moment, she crashed onto the ground outside the arena with a thud along with the painting scroll… She was thrown out just like that.
"Are you alright, senior sister?" Lan Shu didn't recover until Lan Yu came to her side.
Lan Shu returned to her sense and said softly. "I'm fine."
As she spoke, her eyes were always fixated on Yun Lintian. Looked like she would never forget his appearance from today onward.
"Tsk. This bastard surely knows how to flirt with a woman." Shen Yan clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, making Xu Chang and Qin Mei look at her strangely.
Meanwhile, Tian Hualing's eyes never left Yun Lintian from the beginning to the end. At this moment, she fully understood why Shen Yan wanted her Realm King to accept him.
At the same time, she felt that there was nothing her Heavenhold Sect could offer such a monster besides allowing him to enter the Heavenhold Secret Land.
Yun Lintian channeled his divine energy to disperse the water on his body and swept his gaze over the crowd. "Is there anyone who wants to challenge me?"
The entire Emerald Palace went silent once again as if they tacitly agreed that Yun Lintian was undisputed number one in this competition.
The three judges, Wen Qian, Hu Wuyou, and Ling Han, glanced at each other in delight. They didn't expect to discover a good seedling here.
Without waiting further, Wen Qian got up and said. "Since Lin Tian has defeated Chu Teng, who was previously standing in the first place, he will replace Chu Teng and temporarily stay in the first place."
