Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Make a Move
Cultivating Divine Skills allows one to enter the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, but such a state is serendipitous and extremely difficult to achieve. However, being able to casually enter it with ease is even more extraordinary!
“Who is this youth?” Xi Long couldn’t help but be surprised and asked the Elder beside him, Chen Jing.
Chen Jing didn’t expect Xi Long to suddenly turn to him. After a moment of surprise, he followed Xi Long’s gaze towards Yang Xiaotian.
All the spectators turned curious upon hearing Xi Long’s inquiry and also looked over.
Everyone saw Yang Xiaotian amid the crowd.
Princess Jiuhu Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, Tian Wanqing, and Lin Mei’er, among others, all looked at Yang Xiaotian.
“Divine Yang of the Emperor Sanqian!”
“Son of Terror!”
The voices of Tang Huan, Tian Wanqing, and a few others echoed almost simultaneously.
Upon recognizing it was Yang Xiaotian, Tang Huan’s face dramatically changed, his heart almost stopping in fright.
Lin Mei’er and Yao Qingxue, on the other hand, showed faces of delightful surprise.
Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, and the others were taken aback that Tang Huan, Tian Wanqing, Yao Qingxue, and others knew Yang Xiaotian. Hearing Tang Huan and Tian Wanqing’s titles for Yang Xiaotian, everyone was stunned.

Son of Terror?
And from Tang Huan’s expression, it seemed he was terrified of Yang Xiaotian?
Hearing Tang Huan’s exclamation about Yang Xiaotian, Chen Jing was surprised at first, then looked at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment, “You are Yang Xiaotian?”
This Yang Xiaotian, of course, he remembered, wasn’t he the youth who claimed he would defeat Yan Long with a single move?
“I have seen the dean, I am Yang Xiaotian,” Yang Xiaotian said calmly, slightly bowing, cupping his fists in greeting.
A slight stir emerged within the crowd.
“Is he the same one who hunted over a thousand Fierce Beasts during the assessment and yet claimed he would defeat Yan Long with a single move?”
“During his assessment, Yan Long hunted ten thousand Fierce Beasts; a single finger could crush him.”
“The Buddha Son just called him Emperor Sanqian; I wonder why he is referred to as Emperor Sanqian?”
Many Disciples whispered among themselves.
Heavenly Dragon Sword God Xi Long, however, smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, “Your name is Yang Xiaotian?”
“Yes, Lord Xi Long,” Yang Xiaotian replied respectfully.
Xi Long nodded with a smile, “I’ll remember that.” Although those Disciples were discussing Yang Xiaotian’s killing of just over a thousand Fierce Beasts during the assessments, he had a feeling that this youngster would surprise him in the upcoming trial.
Subsequently, all the Disciples began to draw lots to determine their opponents for the first round of the competition.
Yang Xiaotian drew the number four for the first round.
As fate would have it, the one who also drew number four was Princess Lin Mei’er of the Charm Clan.
Standing on the stage, Lin Mei’er looked at Yang Xiaotian, her face brimming with joy. She stepped forward, gave a slight bow, and said with a smile, “Young Master, we meet again.”
“These days, Mei’er has been inquiring after Young Master’s whereabouts; I never expected to encounter Young Master here.”
Lin Mei’er couldn’t hide her inner excitement and delight.
Indeed, she had been looking for Yang Xiaotian all this while.
Later, when she found out that Yang Xiaotian might have already left the Hundred Clan Empire, she regretted it in her heart.
Yang Xiaotian, looking at Lin Mei’er, also smiled, “I also didn’t expect Miss Mei’er to come to Azure God Academy. Please, Miss Mei’er, make your move.” Saying this, he gestured for her to begin.
However, Lin Mei’er turned to the Elder referee below the stage and said, “I surrender.”
“What!”
As soon as Lin Mei’er spoke, all the Disciples were shocked and abuzz.
Keep in mind that during her assessment, Lin Mei’er had hunted nearly twenty thousand Fierce Beasts, yet she was surrendering to Yang Xiaotian!
The Elder referee frowned, “Why?”
He was aware of Lin Mei’er’s strength.
He suspected that Lin Mei’er was deliberately throwing the match.
Lin Mei’er shook her head and said, “I’m afraid I can’t even take a single move from Young Master Yang, why bother making a fool of myself?”
Some disciples heard this and couldn’t help but burst into a “Pfft” of laughter.
What did Lin Mei’er just say?
She can’t even take a single move from Yang Xiaotian?
Lin Mei’er, who had hunted nearly twenty thousand Fierce Beasts during the assessment, said she couldn’t even take a single move from Yang Xiaotian?
No one at the scene, including Chen Jing, who furrowed his brows in skepticism, could believe it. If speaking of strength, Lin Mei’er was even stronger than Yan Long. How could it be that she couldn’t take a single move from Yang Xiaotian?
Bai Li, Shen Yuwen, Yan Long, and others were equally astonished.
Fan Wuyan and Tang Huan, however, clenched their fists tightly.
“Can’t take a single move?” Lord Xi Long from the chair’s center commented with a smile, “Interesting.”
His curiosity about the youth named Yang Xiaotian grew. What kind of talent did he possess?
Was it one of the top ten exceptional Golden Cores?
Or one of the ten Invincible Sword Hearts?
Or perhaps, a pair of Supreme Martial Spirits?
And how many years did his Soul Ring possess?
In the end, the referee could only declare Yang Xiaotian the winner of the bout since there was no rule stating Lin Mei’er couldn’t forfeit voluntarily.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian win the first bout this way, Yan Long’s expression darkened, and Shen Yuwen was also not looking good.
Like the other disciples, neither believed the nonsense that Lin Mei’er couldn’t take even a single move.
Soon, it was time for the second round. This round brought Yang Xiaotian to a rueful smile; his opponent turned out to be the Heavenly Dragon Buddha Maiden, Yao Qingxue.
On the stage, Yao Qingxue looked at Yang Xiaotian, hardly concealing her joy, though her expression was much more subtle. She smiled and said, “Young Master Yang, we meet again.”
Hearing Yao Qingxue’s tone of voice, almost identical to Lin Mei’er’s, the crowd wore bizarre expressions.
As expected, Yao Qingxue turned to the referee and said, “I am no match for Young Master Yang, I forfeit.”
Everyone exchanged perplexed looks.
The Heavenly Dragon Holy Goddess, so beautiful she seemed not of this world, with talent almost rivaling Fan Wuyan, was admitting she was no match for Yang Xiaotian and voluntarily forfeiting!
On the chairman’s podium, Lord Xi Long became even more curious. He knew Yao Qingxue was the disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sword God, and he wondered what kind of talent Yang Xiaotian possessed that even the Heavenly Dragon Sword God’s disciple would concede defeat so readily.
Then came the third bout.
In the third round, Yang Xiaotian’s opponent was the Tathagata Buddha Son, Tang Huan.
Seeing his third-round opponent was Tang Huan, Yang Xiaotian was invigorated. He had long wanted to witness Tang Huan’s Tathagata Buddha Body and Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body.
Standing on the stage, Yang Xiaotian looked at Tang Huan and said, “Tang Huan, we meet again. I’ve never witnessed your Tathagata Buddha Body and Great Sun Tathagata Sword Body, please make your move.”
All eyes were on Tang Huan.
Tang Huan, however, clenched his fists tightly, his expression fluctuating between hope and despair.
The news of Wei Zongyuan being killed by Yang Xiaotian had been confirmed.
Some even said that Wei Zongyuan’s hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, eight Sword Hearts, and Supreme Martial Spirit had all been blasted away by a single punch from Yang Xiaotian.
Not even the ashes of Wei Zongyuan were left behind.
Although he didn’t know if the news was true, it had become an indelible nightmare in his heart.
If the news was true, and even Wei Zongyuan’s hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring had been destroyed, how terrifying was the power of Yang Xiaotian’s punch!
The more Tang Huan thought about it, the more frightened he became.
He tried to control the fear in his heart, but it was uncontrollable.
Everyone could see Tang Huan’s fear, and they were astonished and bewildered.
“Make your move!” Yang Xiaotian said again, seeing Tang Huan standing there silently.
Make your move! These words were like divine thunder, shaking Tang Huan to the core.
Suddenly, like a wounded Fierce Beast, he roared and madly stimulated his True Yuan; the Tathagata Buddha Body surged wildly as a series of Buddha God’s Lights burst forth.
