"Stepping onto the Heavenly Pride Platform is the most glorious moment of Zhang Yun's life. I'm afraid that if he can step onto the Heavenly Pride Platform even once in his life, he will die without regrets. His courage is truly commendable!"
"Ha, I heard from Qiu Bai, one of Zhang Zigu's fierce generals, that his young master said that if Zhang Yun kowtows three times to Senior Brother Zhang Zigu on the Heavenly Pride Platform and willingly calls him 'Dad,' perhaps Senior Brother Zhang Zigu will take pity on him and spare his worthless life."
"Yes, although Zhang Yun is quite brave, how many people in this world are truly unafraid of death?"
The crowd couldn't help but scoff, already able to imagine the humiliating scene of Zhang Yun kneeling and begging for mercy from Zhang Zigu.
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Zhang Yun walked slowly and steadily to the Heavenly Pride Platform.
Now, with the support of various powers and abilities from many people, his own aura has naturally become more subdued, and even the many powerful figures on the platform cannot sense his specific cultivation level.
However, Zhang Yun's true cultivation level had already been revealed during the inner sect assessment; he was only at the sixth level of Body Refinement.
This is also the biggest reason why Zhang Yun is not favored by everyone.
Even if Zhang Yun previously demonstrated unparalleled strength within his realm, and even the ability to defeat enemies beyond his realm, so what?
This time, his opponent is none other than the prodigy Zhang Zigu!
"Zhang Yun, why did you come?"
Upon seeing Zhang Yun appear, in an inconspicuous corner of the arena, a stunningly beautiful girl dressed in white furrowed her brows slightly, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of worry.
"If he doesn't come, I can still occasionally look after him within the inner sect. But I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity anymore..."
This stunningly beautiful girl in white is none other than Zhuo Xinyan, who ranks even higher than Yun Qingtian on the list of prodigies!
"Hmph, Zhang Yun, since you won't listen to advice, let's see how you die!"
In another corner, Shan Qianxun was both angry and worried, but also somewhat concerned about Zhang Yun's safety.
"Is a man's pride really that important?"
Looking at Zhang Yun, who showed no fear on the surface, Shan Qianxun was utterly speechless.
"Zhang Yun, keep it up! I believe in you!"
Although almost everyone was pessimistic about Zhang Yun and believed that he would definitely lose this battle, there were actually voices in the audience supporting Zhang Yun.
That was Yuan Lingshu's voice.
“Even without your protection, Young Master will surely win this battle easily.” Ye Qianzhi, sitting next to Yuan Lingshu, also chuckled, full of confidence in her young master.
Logically speaking, given Ye Qianzhi's personality, it would be difficult for her to make friends with others.
But somehow, she and Yuan Lingshu became good friends after only knowing each other for a few days.
Ye Qianzhi really liked Yuan Lingshu, a girl with such a great temperament and a good personality.

Chapter 94 Who is the Clown?
"Sister Qianzhi, if Zhang Yun wins, my protective talisman will definitely play a part in it!"
Yuan Lingshu disagreed with Ye Qianzhi's point of view and insisted on her own opinion.
Ye Qianzhi just smiled at Yuan Lingshu's adorable appearance and didn't refute anything.
He wasn't afraid that the young master could easily kill Zhang Zigu, but he was afraid that Zhang Zigu would be too cowardly to show himself.
"Since we're here, let's wait. Zhang Zigu should show up soon."
Looking at Zhang Yun, who was fearless in battle on the Heavenly Pride Platform, Luo Chen nodded slightly, stood up, and said.
Someone who is favored by a big shot like Lin Dong is unlikely to be foolish enough to act impulsively.
In his view, Zhang Yun must be hiding some unknown trump card, otherwise, Zhang Yun would not have accepted the challenge when he had no chance of winning.
However, Zhang Zigu is far too powerful for Zhang Yun now, so it's still hard to say who will win.
"Yes, Sect Master." Zhang Yun bowed slightly to Luo Chen, who was seated at the head of the platform, a faint, wicked smile slowly spreading across his lips.
It remains to be seen whether Zhang Zigu, that defeated foe, will dare to show himself today. Even if he does, whether he will dare to accept the challenge is another question.
As the sun began to set, time ticked by, but Zhang Zigu still hadn't appeared.
Wei Lin and Su Muyu also arrived at the scene, but they were in inconspicuous positions and not many people noticed their presence. However, what they had in common was that when they looked at the white-clad figure on Tianjiao, their eyes revealed a deep sense of fear.
Among those present, only Wei Lin, Su Muyu, and Ye Qianzhi truly understood just how formidable Zhang Yun was now.
Given time, his terrifying talent might rival that of the number one genius on the list of prodigies.
"What's going on? Why isn't Zhang Zigu here yet?" Lu Wuyai frowned.
Although this is a battle with a huge disparity in strength, and Zhang Zigu is bound to win, the fact that so many people are waiting for him alone at this moment seems a bit like putting on airs.
"Hehe, it's not Zhang Zigu's fault. After all, Zhang Zigu has never cared about Zhang Yun. Since he doesn't care, it's not surprising that he's a little late." Qi Zhibai chuckled. Among all the peak masters, he was the one who liked Zhang Zigu the most.
Although Zhang Zigu was not his formal disciple, he was more like one to him.
In the audience of the martial arts arena, although many Yunwu Sect disciples were getting impatient, none of them dared to speak ill of Zhang Zigu.
After all, Zhang Zigu is a big shot who ranks among the top ten on the list of geniuses. Ordinary disciples are too respectful to dare to speak ill of him.
Zhang Yun merely glanced at the sky before uttering a startling statement.
"Everyone, you don't need to wait anymore, everyone can disperse. Zhang Zigu is probably already hiding under the covers and doesn't dare to come out."
What he said was the truth, because in his opinion, Zhang Zigu's strength was not worth mentioning.
