Chapter 226 Why Not Kneel?
In addition, the white-clad youth was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, while the two women were extremely beautiful, attracting even more attention.
The three men's faces were somewhat unfamiliar, but their demeanor suggested they were far from ordinary young people.
Those present began to speculate about the identities of the three people.
Most people simply thought that the three of them were just too low-key and didn't show off, and that their backgrounds and talents were inferior to other dazzling geniuses around them.
Therefore, no one said much. Whether he was a true genius or a complete failure, the hunting competition would reveal the answer.
"Master, it seems that there are restrictions on cultivation level in this hunting competition."
Beside Zhang Yun, Zhuo Xinyan whispered to Zhang Yun, "Judging from this, it seems that Master really wants to participate in the competition."
"As I said, I only had my eye on that piece of land in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. But it just so happens that this hunting competition is happening. The young people participating in the hunting competition are all between the Heavenly Gang Realm and the Heavenly Origin Realm. So, I'll take this opportunity to train you and see what level your combat ability has reached."
Zhang Yun explained patiently.
"Young Master, do you mean you're not going to participate?" Ye Qianzhi asked. For some reason, she always felt something was missing when the young master wasn't by her side.
"I didn't plan to participate, but in order to better observe you all, ensure your safety, and avoid alerting you, I had no choice but to sign up for fun," Zhang Yun said with a smile.
"But, Master's cultivation level..." Zhuo Xinyan said somewhat awkwardly. Her master had already said that there were cultivation level restrictions for the Hunting Competition.
Zhang Yun clearly exceeded this limit.
"You mean my cultivation level?" Zhang Yun smiled mysteriously. "Feel it now, what level of cultivation do I have?"
"The fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm... Master, you..." Zhuo Xinyan lightly covered her red lips with her hand, a hint of surprise showing in her beautiful eyes.
She could clearly sense that Zhang Yun's aura at this moment was indeed only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
The feeling was so real that it could easily be mistaken for reality.
“I’m not interested in the rewards for the top ten in this hunting competition. I only invited you to participate to give you experience, so I won’t steal your thunder. Keep a low profile. You’re at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm,” Zhang Yun said calmly.
Being on par with Ye Qianzhi and Zhuo Xinyan means you won't stand out too much.
If one suppresses their cultivation to the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, wouldn't they instantly become a favorite to win the championship?
Zhang Yun really wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to attract too much attention.
“That’s right. If Young Master were to intervene, it would be considered cheating.” Ye Qianzhi suddenly laughed, her laughter as clear and melodious as a nightingale’s song.
"Do I look like the kind of person who would cheat?" Zhang Yun rolled her eyes at Ye Qianzhi, which made Ye Qianzhi's pretty face smile even more.
"No, no, my young master has always been that kind of person."
"Ye Qianzhi, you're getting bolder and bolder, even daring to tease your young master."
Zhang Yun coughed lightly and said seriously, "It seems that I have no choice but to put some pressure on you?"
"What does the young master mean?" Ye Qianzhi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"My task for you is that the two of you must get the top two spots in the hunting competition."
Zhang Yun spoke slowly, causing Ye Qianzhi and Zhuo Xinyan to tremble slightly and their expressions to turn sour.
The reason is that the two of them are only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, while the favorites to win the championship are all at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm or even at the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
If you want to get the top two spots, wouldn't you have to challenge someone four minor realms higher, or even defeat them?
"Young master, are you joking?" Ye Qianzhi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said in an annoyed tone.
"I'm not joking. There will be punishment if you fail to complete the mission."
Zhang Yun's words upset Ye Qianzhi and the other woman.
"However, the reason I let one of you win the championship is not for the reward, but to let you know clearly that a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command. Although your cultivation is only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, you are definitely not ordinary Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators. You are more than one level stronger than those so-called geniuses."
"I think you understand what I mean."
"Does Master mean that we have the absolute strength to fight across borders, just like Master?"
Zhuo Xinyan suddenly realized.
She had witnessed Zhang Yun's battles firsthand; despite being only at the early stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm, he could easily kill a peak Heavenly Gang Realm expert.
This kind of incredible fighting power is not something everyone can possess.
However, as Zhang Yun's apprentice, he naturally cannot be judged by common sense.
Zhang Yun nodded slightly: "Since you started following me, you haven't really shown your true strength. When the time comes, you will naturally know just how strong you really are."
“I understand now, I trust you, young master.” Ye Qianzhi’s reaction always seemed to be a beat slower than Zhuo Xinyan’s.
"Look, everyone! It's the King of Qin, and the people from the three great families of the capital!"
Just then, four powerful figures appeared in the void. With each step, they covered several meters and arrived above the square in the blink of an eye.
This made Zhang Yun glance at them slightly. As expected of the top experts in Qin, including Qin Zheng, the ruler of Qin, all four of them were at the Heavenly Gang Realm. Qin Zheng had even reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm and was showing signs of breaking through.
The leader, Qin Zheng, was dressed in a golden dragon robe, and under the blazing sun, his crown shone even more brightly.
His entire being exuded an air of royal majesty.
The other three were also extraordinary in bearing and dignified without being angry. They were Lin Zheng, the head of the Lin family; Zhang Hua, the head of the Zhang family; and Luo Guanzhong, the head of the Luo family.
