Chapter 777 - Flute, Same As Before!
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yun instantly recalled how Yue Weiweiâs flute music helped his comprehension in the past.
âA flute?â Situ Feihu was surprised before he smiled, âItâs rare to find experts in flute music in the Ancient Southern Domain. But itâs a pity that I have a senior in my family whoâs an expert. Your flute music is useless against me.â
âPlease listen then,â smiled Yue Weiwei as she raised her flute, revealing her fair hands from her red dress that left many people dazed.
âSorry, but I wonât give you the chance.â Situ Feihu smiled cunningly as he noticed something unusual about Yue Weiwei a long time ago. Yue Weiweiâs appearance was breathtaking, so it would be troublesome if she combined it with her flute music.
The best way to deal with a genius who used music was to stop them from playing music. Gently tapping his interspatial pouch, Situ Feihu took out a silver spear that was shrouded in cold wind. As the wind revolved, it continued to accumulate into a powerful aura.
The spear might be terrifying, but Situ Feihu was even more terrifying than the spear. Before Yue Weiwei placed the flute on her lips, Situ Feihu disappeared with his spear. When he reappeared, he swung his spear at Yue Weiwei.
Before Situ Feihuâs spear hit Yu Weiwei, her flute music rang out. Yue Weiwei wasnât disrupted by Situ Feihuâs sudden movements as she closed her eyes with a smile. When she closed her eyes, her charm transformed from a blooming peony to a snow white lotus.
As the ethereal flute music echoed out, the Nine Dragon Lake began to light up. When the lightning radiated Yue Weiweiâs face, it lit up her flawless features. At this moment, she was terrifying. As her music rang out, Yue Weiweiâs hair began to flutter like a waterfall as Situ Feihu was sent flying backwards with his spear.
âYou lost.â Lin Yun knew that Situ Feihu would lose the fight. None of the spectators were bothered by the outcome either as they were intoxicated by Yue Weiweiâs music.
The flute music was filled with many emotions like happiness, bitterness, and sorrow. When the emotion in the music was low, everyone felt like they were going insane from their suppressed feelings. When the emotion in the flute music was high, everyoneâs blood began to boil.
As the music continued, the final note suddenly exploded and eighteen water geysers shot up from the lake. Once this happened, Yue Weiwei opened her eyes. In that split second, her face was filled with endless prestige.
Situ Feihu raised his head when the music stopped and he locked eyes with Yue Weiwei. Then, he was sent flying as he vomited blood. Dropping to one knee, Situ Feihuâs face was drained of all colors. Yue Wewei smiled at this sight and the water geysers around the stage became gentle.
âIt looks like someone as beautiful as me is still pretty useful. Isnât that right, Young Master Situ?â Yue Weiwei lowered her flute as the sleeve of her dress covered her arm.
âYou witch!â Situ Feihu flew into range and charged towards Yue Weiwei.
But Yue Weiwei easily sent him flying with a palm and smiled, âI might be beautiful, but Iâm not someone the likes of you can touch.â
Just like that, Situ Feihu fell onto the edge of the lake and fainted.
âDid he really lose like that?â The spectators were dumbfounded as if they didnât realize that they were listening to a long song. When they woke up from their stupor, they realized that Situ Feihu was defeated.
âHow terrifying, another top-tier genius lost.â
âItâs not a surprise with this Draconic Banquet.â
âWho is this girl? Sheâs so mysterious!â
âI donât know. Iâve never heard of her. The Heavenly Demon Pavilion have really hidden themselves deeply.â Everyone was already numb to seeing the top-tier geniuses get defeated. All this battle did was make the crowd more curious about Yue Weiwei.
From the Heavenly Demon Pavilionâs seat, Yan Longâzi smiled as his eyes radiated with greed for Yue Weiwei. At this moment, he decided that he had to subdue this woman in the future.
âYue Weiwei wins!â As the judge announced the result, Yue Weiwei soared into the sky and landed beside Lin Yun. She winked at him before she left with a smile.
âOh my god, she smiled at me!â
âWhat are you saying? She clearly smiled at me. I can feel my heart melting.â
âGet lost, she smiled at me! Look in the mirror. How can Yue Weiwei smile at someone like you?â Yue Weiweiâs smile instantly caused a huge commotion among the spectators. Some of them even fought among themselves.
Qin Yangâs face was terrifyingly dark because he saw that Yue Weiwei smiled after she looked at Lin Yun. At this moment, his chest was filled with rage at Lin Yunâs fortune. Not only was he humiliated in the Sword Firmament Pavilion, but he was receiving blow after blow from Lin Yun in Dragoncloud City.
This was too much and he wished to fight Lin Yun immediately in order to crush him completely.
Pavilion Master Plum looked at Lin Yun weirdly and asked, âLin Yun, are you familiar with her?â
Lin Yun was briefly stunned when he heard that. The two of them had experienced life and death together. They had an ambiguous relationship and he considered her to be a friend, but it wasnât like Lin Yun was able to see through Yue Weiwei. Sometimes, Lin Yun would even think that he would be terribly fooled if he treated her words seriously. A brief moment later, Lin Yun smiled bitterly, âI guess.â
Pavilion Master Plum smiled, âWe can talk about it later. The first round will come to an end soon and you should try to get as much profound amber aura as you can.â
Based on Lin Yunâs performance, it was practically certain that he would make it into the second round. The only thing that was uncertain was if Lin Yun could maintain his perfect record. If it was before the Draconic Banquet, Pavilion Master Plum naturally wouldnât dare to say those words. But after witnessing Lin Yunâs performance, Pavilion Master Plum had more confidence in Lin Yun.
After all, Lin Yun defeating Yan Luoyu with a single sword was too impactful. The first round continued and everyone who ran into Lin Yun would immediately admit defeat. None of them wanted to take the risk. As for Lin Yunâs friends, their situations were all very different.
Ji Wuye could make it into the second round, but his winning streak came to an end when he ran into the top-tier genius ranked number fifteen. As for Yang Fan, he still had hopes of making it through the first round, but he had already lost several rounds.
Even Fang Hanluo, who Lin Yun paid attention to, made a breakthrough in battle. After losing to Yang Fan, Fang Hanluo no longer lost as his cultivation was now in the pinnacle Yin-Yang stage. He was a genius, so many people paid attention to him.
There were other geniuses that made breakthroughs in the banquet, but only Fang Hanluoâs strength continued to increase. In fact, the speed of his improvement was a little terrifying. Lin Yun felt that if Yang Fan ran into him again, it wouldnât be clear if he could defeat Fang Hanluo.
Thereâs something weird. He should already be able to make a breakthrough, but he purposely used the battles to temper himself. Lin Yun started examining Fang Hanluo. If this was really the case, then Fang Hanluo was terrifying. This meant that Fang Hanluo had planned this from the start since he was confident in his own strength.
After all, if he ran into a top-tier genius right at the start, he would be heavily injured or even crippled before he could unleash his potential.
Wait⦠Lin Yun was suddenly shocked because he realized that Fang Hanluo might want to encounter a top-tier genius instead. After all, if he ran into a powerful opponent, he would be able to unleash more of his potential.
Lin Yun watched Fang Hanluoâs battle more intently. Fang Hanluo heavily injured his opponent in less than ten moves and won beautifully, but there was disappointment in his eyes. He turned his gaze towards the top-tier geniuses and even the three kings and seven elites before he left.
At this moment, Lin Yun was certain that Fang Hanluo wasnât afraid of running into strong opponents. On the contrary, he wanted to face strong opponents, which included the three kings and seven elites. At this moment, Lin Yun became more interested in the Draconic Banquet.
âTenth battle, Lin Yun VS Qin Yang!â The judge announced, which left Lin Yun and Qin Yang briefly stunned. At this moment, a commotion broke out as everyone recalled their face off back on the city wall.
