The Family Master told him.

Today’s recruitment trial would bring a "big figure" for him—

If he could become an apprentice under the Changye Judge, his fate would undergo a great change. The influence of the Huyan Family wasn’t significant; perhaps they had some say in the Jiuning District, but in Changye, their impact was minimal. Even if the Family Master was friends with the Qihe Judge, a few words wouldn’t be enough to get him into the Judgement Institute.

He must give it his all in this trial to achieve the best results.

Thus, upon entering the top sixteen, he fought harder in each round than the previous one!

The goal was to make the Qihe Judge think highly of him!

This match would be no exception.

"Let me make it clear in advance, my next move will be heavy-handed."

Huyan Yu tightened the band around his forehead forcefully, then slowly exhaled: "In those previous duels, you may not have noticed, but those who dueled with me lost miserably. If you don’t wish to get hurt... I suggest you jump off the ring and admit defeat now."

Liu Quan simply stared silently at his opponent.

He was focused on Huyan Yu’s left hand.

The "recruitment trial" at the Judgement Institute did not prohibit the use of sealed objects. However, low-level Transcendents had very few sealed objects they could wield due to their inability to withstand the physical demands or provide adequate spiritual power. So, at most, they utilized some simple "Extraordinary Ancient Text Diagrams"...

The permission to use sealed objects was granted because among the criteria for the trial, family assets were an important aspect.

Where do ordinary Transcendents procure sealed objects?

If one could indeed bring out a pile of sealed objects at the Initial Stage, they must be a "wealthy young master" from a very affluent family; recruiting such Transcendents into the Dojo could more or less contribute something to the Judgement Institute.

Liu Quan was certain that the wristband on Huyan Yu’s left wrist was a sealed object.

Yet, the previous battles were resolved effortlessly,

So Huyan Yu didn’t need to use his sealed objects at all—

"Whoosh!"

After tightening the band and greeting, Huyan Yu gave Liu Quan three seconds to surrender before stepping forward aggressively.

The ring was only forty meters long and wide.

Huyan Yu took merely two seconds to pounce beside Liu Quan like a fierce leopard. His attack was extremely aggressive, starting with a cannon fist. A muffled sound exploded in the air, akin to an artillery shell firing—

Though the Huyan Family was merely a subsidiary of the five major families, it was still a "family."

Huyan Yu started cultivating body techniques alongside his father at the age of six, soaking daily in medicinal liquid to recover his body, with Extraordinary Sealed Objects aiding his spiritual healing.

Every punch and kick he cultivated was guided by renowned local masters!

Lose?

In his fifteen years, this word never existed in his dictionary!

"Boom!"

This punch reminiscent of an artillery shell landed in the air, merely creating a circle of muffled sound.

The punch missed!

Huyan Yu’s pupils contracted slightly, and he hurriedly raised his head to catch a glimpse of a fleeting shadow.

Liu Quan’s speed wasn’t particularly fast.

But he had been observing Huyan Yu for a long time. Even before the duel began, he was studying the strongest opponent in the arena. A qualified Spiritual Extraordinary must avoid direct confrontation with a strong attack type, and thus he chose to stand in the farthest corner of the ring from Huyan Yu. When the opponent assumed a fighting posture, he was ready for battle.

At the moment Huyan Yu disappeared, Liu Quan leaped off the ring’s edge railing.

Because his observation was meticulous and patient.

So Liu Quan already had "foresight" regarding Huyan Yu’s actions...

In his mind, he had already repeatedly simulated countless times the battle about to unfold, and he had handling plans for every possible scenario.

Liu Quan leapt into the air from the ring, then swung downward fiercely with an inverted golden hook kick.

He trained relentlessly in body techniques in the Qinghe District training camp daily.

Precisely because he knew that a Spiritual Extraordinary was inherently weak physically, he pushed himself to the limit.

To participate in the Judgement Institute’s recruitment trial, one couldn’t avoid body contact.

To win, he must perform to his utmost!

"Bang," a muffled sound!

Using his intuition, Huyan Yu successfully blocked the downward strike with an arm guard, then shot out a punch. Liu Quan countered with his knee, leveraging the downward force to rebound, and the two figures separated again, exchanging their initial positions.

"You’re... interesting."

Huyan Yu shook his hand.

His fist felt a bit numb.

Leaning slightly back against the railing, Liu Quan remained silently... Yet at this moment, his right leg was trembling uncontrollably.

Indeed, no matter how well the pre-battle plan is made, unexpected problems always arise during execution.

He underestimated Moonlight’s striking power. That punch made his entire right leg almost unable to stand.

Bang!

Huyan Yu also noticed this detail.

He darted forward with a flying kick, but again, it merely swept through a shadow; Liu Quan rolled skillfully, leaping away but once more evading Huyan Yu’s attack relying on the capture of "spiritual power"... The wind constantly howled across the ring, and Huyan Yu’s expression grew darker as he continued to try catching Liu Quan’s landing point on the stage, but at this moment, the specialty of the Spiritual Transcendent shone.

Liu Quan repeatedly preempted Huyan Yu’s predictions.

For a moment, the shadowy figures of the two teenagers flew around the ring.

Huyan Yu’s expression became increasingly grim, eager to resolve the fight, yet his opponent stubbornly refused to yield...
