Several representatives of second tier sects expressed their intentions simultaneously without waiting to think about it, rushing to recruit Li Yunmu, no, Lin Qingyang, into their sect.
The upper echelons of Profound South Sect were dumbfounded upon seeing this situation. In the previous years, when had such an event occurred?
Which of the second tier sects wasn't extremely arrogant? Even if they saw an outstanding disciple with great potential, they still waited until the final moment when the competition had already been finished before considering who they should recruit into their sects.
Yet at that moment, it was still unknown whether Li Yunmu would win his first battle, let alone if he'd get into the top ten. Still, the second tier sects had made their decision.
However, Li Yunmu's brows wrinkled subconsciously. Even though there were seven second tier sects trying to recruit him, the elder of the Origin God Sect still hadn't expressed any such intention.
Could it be that the formidable combat prowess and hidden potential displayed by him still couldn't catch the eyes of the Origin God Sect?
That was quite problematic for him. Even if he had seven or eight second tier sects trying to recruit him, how could Li Yunmu take interest in ordinary second tier powers?
In truth, it was considered extremely amazing for an ordinary cultivator to join a second tier sect, but this wasn't Li Yunmu's goal.
If being honest, he was infinitely close to becoming a member of a first tier power, Underground Serpent, and just needed to enter the Origin God Sect to accomplish it.
"Impossible, how could your physical body be so tyrannical? What sort of body tempering method have you cultivated?"
Sinister Fiend Tiger continued launching one punch after another against Li Yunmu's chest.
However, his terrifying physical and flux energy strength were unable to cause the least bit of injury to Li Yunmu. Seeing this, even the ten thousands of spectators were about to consider that Sinister Fiend Tiger was actually weak.
But how could any person that could obtain the qualifications to participate in the tier jumping battle be weak?
Naturally the answer was no, especially when considering Sinister Fiend Tiger who was the fifth ranked person of the third residential region. Because of that, everyone gazed at Li Yunmu, ah no, Lin Qingyang, and felt a chill run down their backs.
What sort of lucky recounter could have Lin Qingyang had run into while tempering himself in the wilderness for the past two years?
"Time to end this farce."
Li Yunmu's attention wasn't focused on his opponent. His brows remained wrinkled as he watched Origin God Sect not expressing any intention to recruit him.
He extended his hand and casually caught Sinister Fiend Tiger's punch. He then used some power and easily stopped the other's figure which was moving at a fast pace and pulled it toward himself. After it, Li Yunmu punched him, casually hitting the chest of Sinister Fiend Tiger.
Bang!
Li Yunmu's casual punch had easily shattered Sinister Fiend Tiger's body protecting flux energy cover after which it landed on his body. Upon being hit by it, Sinister Fiend Tiger was blown away from the stage like an artillery shell.
The sudden change on the stage caused countless spectators sitting on the platform as well as below it to go completely silent, to the extent that even the sound of a dropped pin could be heard.
After a good while, the sect master of Profound South Sect took a sip of water to his wet his parched throat and formally announced that Lin Qingyang was the winner of the battle on the seventh stage.
As Li Yunmu went down the stage, a person from the upper echelons of Profound South Sect came and politely asked Li Yunmu about his choice. They wanted to know which of the seven sects which had expressed their interest in recruiting him he wanted to join.
Li Yunmu naturally couldn't directly express that he only wanted to join Origin God Sect. Otherwise, even with this smallest clue, his mission from Underground Serpent might get exposed. He shook his head and asked the person to wait and not be so anxious.
His casual tone shocked the person from the upper echelons of Profound South Sect. There were seven second tier sects taking the initiative to recruit him, but this Lin Qingyang's casual tone seemed to imply that he didn't care about it one bit.
If he had given this reply a few moments ago, he would've definitely been taught a good lesson for being a youngster who wants to bite more than he could chew. But now the messenger didn't dare because the strength displayed by Li Yunmu made it clear that he was bound to enter a second tier sect in the future. On top of that, he would certainly obtain an important position.
Li Yunmu might not have cared about it, but after he walked down the stage, his status had greatly changed in the eyes of those who knew him as well as those who didn't know him. He didn't pay it any attention, however.
Profound South Sect?
Whether it was Profound South Sect or the previous Blue Moon Sect, they were just small ponds which couldn't hold a big fish like him. From the beginning, he had no intention to stay for more than a few days.
After them, perhaps he would even forget about this springboard. This was the reason why he hadn't used much force against Sinister Fiend Tiger. After the battle concluded, he returned to the area allocated to twenty-first region and sat down cross-legged with his eyes closed and didn't pay attention to anything else.
However, his battle had filled the participants of Profound South Sect with fear.
"Just now, he didn't use any flux energy."
"Yes, he blew away Sinister Fiend Tiger with a casual punch. His physical strength has already reached an astonishing level."
"Ren Feng, I wonder how much assurance do you have in winning now."
Not far from Li Yunmu, in the area allocated to the first residential region, were the people who had more than oldest qualifications to participate in the battles happening right now. Whether based on cultivation or strength, they were the strongest in Profound South Sect.
And Reng Feng was the first ranked person of the first residential region. It wouldn't be outrageous to say that the majority of people in the sect considered him as the most powerful person not just in the first region, but in the whole sect.
Reng Feng was actually the future star of Profound South Sect. His every action was bound to be extraordinary, but today, all his thunder had been stolen by Li Yunmu.
"I don't know. This person is too tyrannical. I could sense his dismissal toward us, and it's not disdain, but rather genuine lack of care for our existence."
After witnessing Li Yunmu's battle, Ren Feng was stunned. After someone questioned him, he began to speak of the other, but his stunned expression quickly turned into one of ferociousness.
"But regardless of whatever lucky encounter he had in the past two years, I, Ren Feng, will let him know that he can dismiss everyone, but dismissing me is an unforgivable crime."
Soon, it was Ren Feng's turn to go on stage.
Since he was the publicly acknowledged most powerful person of the sect, as soon as he stepped on the stage, the eyes of many second tier sects focused on him.
However, no one expected that after stepping on the stage, he would calmly start to speak without waiting for his opponent to arrive.
"Sect master, as I see it, me and Lin Qingyang don't need to battle with others. Just let us fight each other to decide the first and second positions."
Ren Feng's rude suggestion caused a commotion on the platforms as well as below them.
