Jian Yunxiao slowly spoke, "So, if anyone disagrees and wants to settle the matter with force, Brother Zhang, you have no objection to that, do you?"
Jian Yunxiao treated Zhang Yun with the same polite attitude as always, but even now, everyone present could vaguely sense that something was amiss.
Even though Zhang Yun's talent was top-notch in the Qin Empire and even the Holy Domain, and he had experienced extraordinary and dazzling deeds.
However, among the many outstanding talents of the Sword Mansion, Zhang Yun's talent and strength are not so dazzling.
In terms of pure strength, many of the geniuses from the Sword Mansion present could easily outclass Zhang Yun.
If even one of these prodigies expresses a different opinion, then Zhang Yun has virtually no chance of winning.
In that case, Jian Yunxiao's meaning is quite clear.
Zhang Yun couldn't take even a maid from the Sword Mansion with him.
By not stating the obvious, I'm giving Zhang Yun a way out.
However, Zhang Yun was no ordinary person. He had long sensed that Jian Yunxiao was a man of deep cunning.
However, Zhuo Xinyan should only be an insignificant character in front of Jian Yunxiao, the number one genius of the Sword Mansion, so why should she step forward to stop him?
Is it just a deliberate targeting of Zhang Yun?
However, if Jian Yunxiao really wanted to target Zhang Yun, there was no need for him to go to such great lengths.
Thus, even Zhang Yun couldn't quite figure out Jian Yunxiao's thoughts.
"I have no objection."
Zhang Yun remained calm, took a step forward steadily, and casually smiled, saying, "If anyone here objects to me taking Zhuo Xinyan away, they can stand up, and I am willing to fight them."
"Zhang Yun is indeed a remarkable person, not intimidated by the group of geniuses of my Sword Mansion."
Zhang Yun's performance made Jian Yunluo appreciate him even more, but...
As expected, Jian Mo was the first to step forward, smiling as he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Yun and said, "I have long heard that Brother Zhang has extraordinary talent in martial arts. At only eighteen years old, he has already entered the Heavenly Gang realm in cultivation. Even in the entire Holy Domain, this is extremely rare."
"What's even more admirable is that Brother Zhang's skill in swordsmanship is also extremely high. So, since Yunxiao has put it this way, I'll feel itchy if I don't spar with Brother Zhang."
Jian Mo's gaze fell on Zhang Yun, his eyes narrowing slightly.
From the very beginning, he never underestimated Zhang Yun.
Because he could never sense Zhang Yun's specific cultivation level.
Zhang Yun must have used some unknown secret method to conceal his true cultivation level.
However, judging from Zhang Yun's ability to forcibly kill a mid-stage Heavenly Gang Realm expert, Zhang Yun's current cultivation level is at least at the Heavenly Gang Realm. At such a young age, he is already at the same level as the other geniuses present.
Because Zhang Yun was young, Jian Mo estimated that Zhang Yun's cultivation level was not very high, probably only at the early stage of the Heavenly Gang realm.
As for Jian Mo, his cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Gang realm a year ago.
As fellow prodigies capable of fighting across borders, Jian Mo already held an advantage in terms of cultivation level, making it unlikely that he would lose.
Zhang Yun did not rush to accept the challenge, but instead scanned the surroundings with his eyes, a wicked smile appearing on his lips.
"Anyone else who wants to fight me, step forward."

Chapter 191 Caught Off Guard
As soon as Zhang Yun finished speaking, several figures stepped out from the pavilion, each exuding an extremely powerful aura.
"We are eager to witness Brother Zhang's brilliance!"
"I didn't expect Zhang Yun to have such a big reputation." Zhang Yun smiled, then turned to Jian Yunxiao: "Brother Jian, do you have a fighting arena in your residence?"
"A fighting arena?" Jian Yunxiao raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of amusement. "Wherever there are people, there is competition. Even within my Sword Manor, this is no exception. To encourage the younger generation of disciples to work harder, our former grandmaster set up a sword fighting arena within the manor."
"Very well, five days from now, I, Zhang Yun, will be the first to step onto the sword battle stage and accept the challenge from anyone in the Sword Palace below the Star Realm!"
Zhang Yun said loudly, his voice filled with strong confidence.
"If you want to fight, why not now?" Jian Mo laughed. Zhang Yun, is he afraid?
Are you stalling for time?
The gazes of the assembled prodigies also became somewhat strange.
Those whose cultivation had reached the Heavenly Gang level understood that five days was not enough to change anything.
As Jian Mo said, if we're going to fight, let's do it now. Why drag it out until five days later?
Could it be that Zhang Yun will become even stronger in five days?
However, what the other geniuses thought was almost impossible actually happened to Zhang Yun.
The reason he waited five days to fight was because by then, his strength would have undergone a qualitative leap.
At this moment, his true cultivation level was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, not at the Heavenly Gang Realm as others had predicted.
It should be noted that the leap from Tianyuan to Tiangang is a major breakthrough, and even for geniuses, breaking through to the next level is extremely difficult.
Many geniuses need to spend a lot of time and seize opportunities to break through their limitations.
