#591 - You will continue to look up to my invincible demeanor

Jiao Wujie carried tribulation clouds stretching a hundred miles, the thunder and lightning tearing through the sky, cutting off Ji Yinlan's path.

"Ji Yinlan! I've heard you're one of the top geniuses of the human race. Do you dare to battle this young master in the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Jiao Wujie stood with one hand behind his back, his dancing black hair swirling with lightning, his aura soaring to the sky, his domineering voice shaking the mountains and rivers.

Ji Yinlan stopped before the lightning tribulation zone, her cold eyes looking at Jiao Wujie, and said, "If you want to fight, challenge me after you've passed the Saint Realm Tribulation and stabilized your cultivation."

"Hahaha!" Jiao Wujie laughed wildly, his face radiant, gesturing grandly. "I see you're nothing more than this. The human race has always been declining. You, one of the strongest contemporary human geniuses, are nothing more than this to my Sea race contemporaries! If you don't dare, then you don't dare. Why make excuses?"

At this time, many figures flew out from within the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy.

"What's happening?"

"Isn't that Ji Yinlan?"

"Who is that undergoing tribulation? Why is he blocking Ji Yinlan?"

… …

These were all human geniuses from the land, from various major forces, and some were personal disciples cultivated by rogue semi-saints.

They had already completed the Saint Power baptism in the Saint Hall.

During the Saint Power baptism, the stronger the bloodline potential, the more Saint Power absorbed, and the longer the time spent. Those with relatively low potential would spend less time in the Saint Hall.

Now that these geniuses could no longer continue to receive the Saint Power baptism, they left the Saint Hall and came here upon seeing the scene in front of the ancient academy, witnessing this scene.

"Isn't it obvious?" A Sea race genius crossed his arms, sneering, "The young master of my Sea race's supreme Thunder Jiao is challenging Ji Yinlan, one of the strongest young generation geniuses of your human race! Hmm, not surprising at all. You weak humans are terrified and dare not accept the challenge, hahaha!"

"Bullshit!"

The arriving human geniuses immediately understood what was happening and were all filled with anger.

"Are you Sea race so shameless? What young master of the Thunder Jiao race? If you really have confidence, why not wait until you've completed the Saint Realm Tribulation before fighting? You want to use the characteristics of your bloodline being unafraid of Heavenly Tribulation to drag Ji Yinlan into the tribulation with you, so you can be invincible!"

"I think it's you who are afraid. Otherwise, why insist on dueling under the Heavenly Tribulation? And you make such a shameless argument so confidently and righteously, truly refreshing the lower limits of shamelessness!"

The human geniuses retorted.

"If you don't dare, then you don't dare, but you have to find all kinds of reasons to cover it up. This is the human race, haha!"

"What's there to say? Does it matter whether the Thunder Jiao young master is undergoing tribulation or not? If you encounter an enemy, and the enemy is undergoing tribulation and charging towards you, would you shout loudly, 'This isn't fair! Dare to fight after you've finished the tribulation?'"

"Hahaha!"

The Sea race geniuses roared with laughter.

"You're simply quibbling!"

The human geniuses were enraged, but there were only a dozen of them, and they couldn't argue against the hundreds of Sea race.

"Alright, stop arguing." The Ninth Elder looked at Jiao Wujie under the distant thunder and lightning and said, "Jiao Wujie, don't cause trouble as soon as you arrive. Your Sea race and the human race can coexist harmoniously. There's no need to be confrontational. Quickly let Ji Yinlan pass."

"Ninth Elder!" Jiao Wujie's body crackled with lightning, streaks of it flashing across the sky, tearing through the void. He turned to look at the Ninth Elder and said, "I, Jiao Wujie, am honored to be invited by your esteemed academy and will abide by the rules of the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy. I won't kill anyone, and I won't cripple anyone's cultivation. I can guarantee this. Other than that, how I deal with this human woman, does the Ninth Elder intend to forcibly interfere? Has the human race become so weak that even one of its strongest geniuses needs the protection of the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy's elders to stand firm?"

The Ninth Elder was choked by Jiao Wujie's words and didn't know what to say.

Their Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy invited the world's geniuses here only to provide them with resources and opportunities, but they didn't have absolute control. It had always been this way, the purpose being to cultivate strong individuals for the great era and to cope with the end-of-world torrent.

He shook his head and said, "Jiao Wujie, since you insist, this elder has no choice but to indulge you. Do as you wish. This elder will not interfere. I only hope that if you are defeated, don't ask this elder to protect you."

"Ninth Elder, are you saying I would ask you for protection?" Jiao Wujie was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly. "Ninth Elder, your joke is a bit cold. You think the mere human Ji Yinlan could make me, Jiao Wujie, ask for protection? That's simply the biggest joke I've ever heard!"

"Ji Yinlan, do you dare to represent the young generation of the human race and accept the challenge?" Jiao Wujie was incomparably domineering, standing in the thunder and lightning of the sky, looking down, every word filled with arrogance. "If you think you're no match and dare not fight me, I can let you use one hand! In this Heavenly Tribulation, I, Jiao Wujie, will only use one arm to fight you. How about that?"

Immediately, the Sea race geniuses became excited. This was the domineering and confidence that the Sea race's young supreme should have!

Challenging one of the strongest human geniuses with one hand!

How domineering was that?

The faces of the dozen or so human geniuses were ashen, their teeth clenched, their hands hanging at their waists clenched tightly, their knuckles white!

That Jiao Wujie's bloodline was special, clearly unafraid of lightning. He was relying on the Heavenly Tribulation to spout nonsense here!

But since he had said it to this extent, if Ji Yinlan didn't accept the challenge, the young generation of the human race would be ridiculed by the Sea race and wouldn't be able to hold their heads up.

Ji Yinlan stood before the lightning tribulation zone, a slight ripple appearing in her calm and indifferent eyes.

It wasn't that she was afraid of fighting in the Heavenly Tribulation, but she couldn't!

Jiao Wujie's Heavenly Tribulation was too fierce. It was impossible for her not to be injured by the Heavenly Tribulation. If the clothes on her body were to be broken, she would inevitably reveal her skin, which she absolutely couldn't accept.

If she had no concerns, as long as it wasn't a critical area, revealing her arms or something, she wouldn't care during the duel.

But she had concerns in her heart, so she couldn't accept it.

"Ji Yinlan, you don't dare?" The corners of Jiao Wujie's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "It's fine if you don't fight. Just admit in public that your human race is inferior, that you are just humble cultivators in front of our Sea race, and walk with your heads down from now on, and this young master will let you pass, how about that?"

Ji Yinlan looked at the domineering and unreasonable Jiao Wujie, her eyes becoming colder and colder.

A terrifying sword intent gradually permeated her body, that sword intent containing a hint of indescribable majesty!

An ancient sword flowing with silver-white light slowly flew out of her body, and the colors of the wind and clouds changed in an instant!

"Oh, you're angry. Are you going to accept the challenge?" Jiao Wujie waved his sleeve, and a passage instantly appeared in the lightning tribulation zone. "Come, this young master will use his strength to tell you what a true young supreme is!"

The Sea race geniuses laughed, adopting a posture of watching a good show.

The human geniuses were nervous and apprehensive.

"You're so weak, yet so arrogant. Who gave you the courage?"

A voice came from within the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy, echoing throughout the eight desolations.

Almost at the same time, a golden light streaked across the sky, bypassing the lightning tribulation zone, and appeared beside Ji Yinlan.

"Young Master Jun?"

The moment the human geniuses saw the figure, joy appeared on their faces, and the apprehension in their hearts disappeared without a trace, and smiles appeared on their faces.

They even imitated the Sea race geniuses, crossing their arms in front of their chests, raising their heads slightly, adopting a posture of watching a good show.

At this time, in front of the gate of the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy, all eyes were focused on them.

The Sea race's several great young supremes, Xuan Yuan, Shao Jiuying, Kun Rong, and Kun Yu, were all sizing up Jun Wuxie.

Xuan Yuan and Shao Jiuying's gazes were somewhat cold, and a cruel look appeared at the corners of their mouths.

The Kun Rong and Kun Yu siblings had indifferent expressions and calm eyes.

"Jun Wuxie, I've long heard that you're very arrogant. It seems that it's truly well-deserved. You're the first person to dare to be so rude when this young master is speaking! I just don't know if your strength matches your arrogance?"

Anger surged in Jiao Wujie's heart, but there was only a domineering expression on his face, and he didn't show his anger.

"Yinlan, there's a fly here that's very noisy. I'll swat it later."

Jun Wuxie said this, his voice very gentle, but hearing it in Jiao Wujie's ears, it made his anger instantly rush to his head.

"Jun Wuxie, do you dare to come forward and fight?"

Jiao Wujie's lightning-filled eyes were filled with intense killing intent. How dare he say he was a fly? A human Chaos Body with a shallow awakening, what was he in front of his sub-divine beast Jiao Dragon bloodline? How dare he speak so arrogantly?

"Did you leave any hidden injuries under the capital last year?"

Jun Wuxie seemed not to have heard Jiao Wujie's words at all. At this moment, his eyes and heart were only on the woman in front of him, concerned about her condition.

Ji Yinlan stared at him, shaking her head with a smile, that spring breeze-like smile brushing across his heart, warming his heart and secretly relieving him.

"With just you? You dare block Yinlan's path?" Jun Wuxie said, glancing at Xuan Yuan and Shao Jiuying before the ancient courtyard, and said, "Even if those two are added, they would have to kneel before me!"

As soon as these words came out, the sea race's prodigies were in an uproar.

That human Jun Wuxie was simply too arrogant, daring to spout such nonsense!

Their sea race's strongest prodigies were all gathered here, each of them worthy of being called invincible in their generation, yet he dared to boast that even with Xuan Yuan and Shao Jiuying combined, he would still prevail. He truly didn't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth.

"Jun Wuxie, cease your arrogance! Not to mention the three of them, either Young Master Xuan Yuan or Young Master Shao Jiuying can suppress you. How dare you utter such wild words about taking on all three? It's laughable!"

"Young Master Jiao Wujie, suppress this human and let him experience the divine might of our sea race's young supreme!"

......

The sea race's prodigies were all excited and shouted loudly.

The human prodigies all looked at each other, expressions on their faces carrying a hint of strange smiles.

Rumble!

The tribulation clouds churned, like a vast ocean surging in a storm.

Inside, runes of order flashed, silver light streaked across the sky, and endless thunderbolts poured down.

Jun Wuxie stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent, and stepped into the tribulation zone from beside Ji Yinlan.

At that instant, everyone from the sea race laughed, laughing incomparably brilliantly.

A cold smile also appeared on Jiao Wujie's face.

He stood in the center of the thunderous storm, thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts streaking across the sky, tearing out many black rifts in the surrounding void!

"Jun Wuxie! From this moment on, you will continuously look up to this young master's invincible divine figure, until this young master deigns to forgive you!" Jiao Wujie was like the son of the Thunder God, unmoving as a mountain in the midst of the tribulation. Then, carrying endless thunderous storms, he took a step forward, his fist imprint blasting forward, ten directions of lightning rapidly rushing into his fist. He was confident and powerful, his voice resounding through the mountains and rivers: "Tremble under my power, human Chaotic Body!"
