Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

The massive inferno seared the void, radiating an incomparably tyrannical aura as an overwhelming fire dragon surged forward to devour him.

Yet Gu Yun’s face was calm, without a single ripple of emotion.

It was the composure of one whose expression wouldn’t change even if a mountain collapsed before him, whose soul wouldn’t startle even if the heavens and earth crumbled.

The next moment, Gu Yun’s abyssal, overwhelming aura erupted completely. Vast True Yuan blasted outward in all directions.

The void trembled as if a stone had been dropped into a lake, sending out ripples.

Gu Yun’s robes fluttered, his long hair moving without wind. He gripped the pale blue Thunder Listening Saber, his gaze sharp enough to tear through the heavens.

His voice was resolute.

"Wind and Thunder Annihilation Saber!"

With a single slash, a massive wave of Sword Qi infused with the ultimate Wind and Thunder Power soared into the air.

It tore through space, accompanied by a majestic momentum as heavy as a mountain, ripping through layer after layer of the void like the descent of a divine Thunder Punishment.

In that instant, a blade of light that reached for the heavens blossomed forth!

BOOM!

The razor-sharp Sword Qi, carrying the ultimate Wind and Thunder Power, collided with the fire dragon wreathed in overwhelming flames. In an instant, an unprecedentedly terrifying force erupted above the arena stage.

A storm of True Yuan created by the collision instantly swept out in all directions. The powerful shockwave blasted the massive arena stage to smithereens.

Shattered stones were sent flying in all directions by the powerful True Yuan storm, as billowing clouds of dust and smoke filled the air!

More and more Cultivators gathered to watch, and even more streaks of light could be seen rapidly flying toward the scene.

「In the distant void」

"Brother Chu, do you think that kid has a chance to distinguish himself in the Inner Sect grand competition five years from now?" a resolute, square-faced, middle-aged Cultivator at the True Martial Realm Sixth Layer asked in a deep voice.

The purple-robed young man, Chu Ran, nodded. "I didn’t expect this kid to improve so quickly after entering the Inner Sect either. He’s leaving everyone in his cohort in the dust."

"Not only does he have the Cultivation of a True Martial Third Layer Middle Stage, but his foundation is profound, he has achieved Great Success Blade Momentum, and he practices an extremely powerful Thunder Attribute Technique."

"He’s also cultivated some kind of Body Refining Martial Technique. His overall strength is easily comparable to someone at the True Martial Fourth Layer Middle Stage."

Then Chu Ran gently shook his head. "However, it’s still uncertain if the Sect’s Inner Sect competition will even be held as scheduled."

"The conflict between our Sect and the Ancient Nether Sect is intensifying. I’m afraid this time, it’s for real."

"I heard that one of our Sect’s Tongxuan True Monarchs is already in a decisive battle with a Tongxuan True Monarch from the Ancient Nether Sect in the Chaotic Star Sea. The fighting has caused the sea floor to sink and countless islands to shatter."

"The Celestial Blessing Plain has also become a battlefield for Tongxuan True Monarchs. The entire plain, spanning ten thousand li, has been torn to pieces by the fighting."

"The conflict has even spread to the neighboring Great Yan Dynasty and Great Yu Dynasty."

"Countless innocents have had their homes and families destroyed. A tragedy... truly a tragedy."

Hearing this, the resolute, square-faced, middle-aged Cultivator looked toward the arena stage, then spoke. "By the way, with a monstrous talent like him appearing in your Celestial Thunder Dao Peak, one who cultivates a Thunder Technique..."

"...surely Lord Sikong must have some thoughts on the matter?"

At these words, Chu Ran laughed heartily. "Haha, I used a Communication Talisman to inform Master just a moment ago."

"With his Heaven-Reaching power, he might very well be observing Junior Brother Gu right this moment!"

The incredibly sharp blade light first tangled with the fire dragon, which was wreathed in overwhelming, fierce flames.

Then, it gradually sliced the dragon to pieces. The remaining sharp Sword Qi continued slashing toward Situ Yuan.

Whistling through the air and tearing through space, it fell like a meteor from the heavens, emitting a blindingly brilliant blade light!

Situ Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly. Clearly, this slash had exceeded his expectations.

He watched as the incredibly sharp Sword Qi appeared before him, tearing through the air like a thunderclap.

In that instant, Situ Yuan’s aura flared. A fiery light flashed in his eyes, as if a stream of flaming sword light flowed within them.

A hundred-zhang long stream of flaming Sword Qi, shaped like a great dragon, suddenly materialized in the void.

It radiated a tyrannical power that seemed capable of incinerating the very void.

The flaming dragon of Sword Qi then shot forward to intercept the remnant blade light, which shone like a falling star with extreme sharpness.

TSSSK!

After the majestic, fiery dragon of Sword Qi crushed and annihilated the opposing Sword Qi, its remaining power pierced through the sky, carrying a terrifying force that seemed capable of incinerating the very heavens.

Everywhere the fiery dragon of Sword Qi passed, the air seemed to incinerate from the scorching heat, as it slashed viciously toward Gu Yun!

Invisible waves of power washed over the arena, causing it to collapse and crumble, the stones burned black as charcoal by the scorching heat.

’He’s really strong!’

Gu Yun couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath as he watched the incredibly powerful, fiery dragon of Sword Qi slash toward him with unstoppable momentum.

’Looks like I have no other choice!’

His figure suddenly vanished.

Moving as fast as lightning, he became an afterimage, using his Thunderous Momentum to instantly evade the terrifying attack of the fiery dragon Sword Qi!

BOOM!

The terrifying power of the Sword Qi, with unstoppable sharpness, slashed into the arena stage as if it were cutting tofu.

Instantly, a massive chasm dozens of zhang deep was carved into the solid rock of the stage.

The powerful aftershocks of the fierce flames blasted outward, scattering charred rubble and filling the air with dust!

"Situ Yuan... he’s too strong!"

"Who is that senior brother from Celestial Thunder Dao Peak who’s fighting on even terms with Situ Yuan?"

"That guy... it’s Gu... Gu Yun! I’m not seeing things, am I?!" one disciple exclaimed, dumbfounded.

"There’s no mistake. It’s Gu Yun."

"I’ve been beaten up by him before. I’d recognize him even if he were turned to ash!"

affirmed a disciple whose face was flushed with anger, looking as if he held a deep grudge against Gu Yun.

Then he shook his head and sighed heavily. "Sigh... He’s so strong now. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to get my revenge in this lifetime. I’ll have to spend the rest of my days walking on eggshells."

"Gu Yun!? How is that possible? He only entered the Inner Sect two years ago, but his Cultivation has already reached the True Martial Third Layer Middle Stage, and his strength is comparable to a veteran disciple like Senior Brother Situ Yuan?"

"But Shi Ritian and Ye Bufan are still only at the True Martial First Layer Late Stage."

"Their current strength is nowhere near Senior Brother Situ Yuan’s."

"At this rate, Gu Yun’s strength has probably already surpassed everyone else in our cohort."

The crowd of Cultivators, whether on the ground below or floating in the void, broke into discussion, all of them shocked by Gu Yun’s power.

Gu Yun, of course, had no idea what they were thinking. He was busy rapidly executing Three Thousand Thunder Flashes, his body transforming into a thunderous phantom.

Then, with speed far exceeding Situ Yuan’s, he flickered continuously through the void, occasionally slashing out with his saber. The Sword Qi was like a thunder dragon soaring through the sky, tearing space as it went.

It slashed toward Situ Yuan with the force of a thunderbolt!

With a grim expression, Situ Yuan watched Gu Yun’s figure flicker through the void like lightning.

Suddenly, a blade light flashed, as if a river of stars was falling from the sky. Its dazzling brilliance tore through space as it slashed toward him.

His gaze hardened. His Fiery Flaming True Essence surged, and with a backhanded swing, his flame-wreathed Longsword sent a blast of fiery Sword Qi to meet the dazzling, star-like blade light.

BOOM! The sword light and blade light collided, erupting in a brilliant flash.

Suddenly—

At that very moment, Gu Yun’s figure seemed to teleport, instantly appearing behind Situ Yuan.

He immediately threw a punch that broke the sound barrier. A powerful force gathered, as if he were bringing the weight of a mountain down to crush his opponent.

With the force of ten thousand thunderbolts, it tore through space and shot toward Situ Yuan’s back!

Situ Yuan suddenly felt as if a blade was pressed to his back. A sense of mortal danger washed over him.

’Not good!’
