Just as many people were speculating in their hearts,
golden rays surged from afar, and purple mists billowed, as a group of people arrived—it was Jun Xiaoyao and his companions.
Wu Mingyue, Yi Yu, and others also followed him.
Jun Lingcang brought Jun Daolin and Jun Xiyu.
With the Jun Family's arrival, the atmosphere immediately changed.
That Aura was not something ordinary Prodigies from common Forces could compare to.
"As expected of the Jun Family, one of the three Imperial Families. With the Jun Family Divine Child and the Reincarnated Pupil, their other sequences are also extremely powerful," some Elders of various Forces sighed with emotion.
Feeling this Aura, the Yin-Yang Holy Son and others' expressions also changed.
"Why is everyone gathered at the entrance?" Jun Xiaoyao, clad in white, pure and unblemished, stood atop the Nine-Headed Lion, appearing like a transcendent immortal.
"Sacred Spirit Academy has a saying about 'Challenging the Three Trials,' which can test a Prodigy's strength and potential," Jun Linglong explained.
"So that's it. Who set up such a boring game?" Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"Does Cousin not have the interest to challenge it?" Jun Lingcang asked.
He also noticed Yi Yu beside Jun Xiaoyao; that Aura surprised him.
Jun Xiaoyao and others landed at the entrance of Sacred Spirit Academy.
Jin Lie immediately saw the Nine-Headed Lion under Jun Xiaoyao, and his brows furrowed as he coldly said, "Nine-Headed Lion, you are a top Ancient Royal Family on par with my clan. Do you not feel ashamed to willingly be someone else's mount?"
The Nine-Headed Lion was stunned, its nine heads simultaneously glancing sideways at Jin Lie.
It had already completely submitted to Jun Xiaoyao; even the Nine-Spirits Primordial Saint had told it to follow Jun Xiaoyao.
Moreover, after following Jun Xiaoyao, the Nine-Headed Lion finally understood how wonderful it was to cling to a powerful figure's thigh.
"It's impossible for me to leave my master; it's impossible in this lifetime. Everyone in the Jun Family is talented, and their strength is so great. I absolutely love it here."
One sentence plunged the entire scene into dead silence.
A majestic Nine-Headed Lion had actually become like this, which was truly speechless.
"Nine-Headed Lion, you..." Jin Lie was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices.
"Amitabha, you are fated with this monk. Why not follow this poor monk?" Fahai chanted a Buddhist name and stepped out, saying.
"And who are you?" The Nine-Headed Lion said disdainfully.
Fahai smiled slightly and said, "This poor monk is the Heavenly Buddha of Little Western Heaven, Fahai."
"What, Little Western Heaven?" The Nine-Headed Lion shivered all over, its fur standing on end, its expression showing extreme vigilance.
Hearing the name Little Western Heaven, it trembled.
After all, its ancestors were once suppressed by a Buddhist Emperor and turned into mounts and Protectors.
The Nine-Headed Lion also had a strong aversion to Little Western Heaven.
"Fahai?" Jun Xiaoyao's gaze shifted.
Why did this name sound so familiar? It felt like a certain violent bald monk from his previous life.
"Donor Jun, this Nine-Headed Lion is fated with this poor monk. I wonder if Donor would be willing to part with it?" Fahai still smiled.
Jun Xiaoyao said nothing, extended a palm, and surging magical power erupted, pressing towards Fahai.
The smile on Fahai's face suddenly changed. He extended a hand, forming a lotus hand seal, and countered Jun Xiaoyao's palm.
Bang!
After a loud noise, Fahai flew backward, heavily smashing onto the ground, raising dust.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.
That was the Heavenly Buddha of Little Western Heaven! He was actually sent flying with a single strike.
Although Fahai was caught off guard, more importantly, Jun Xiaoyao's own strength was formidable.
"You..." Fahai rose from a pile of shattered earth and dust, his face no longer calm and composed as before.
"Now, are you still fated with the Nine-Headed Lion?" Jun Xiaoyao asked indifferently.
Fahai remained silent, his eyes showing apprehension.
Jun Xiaoyao scoffed and no longer paid him any mind.
He held a trace of respect for true Buddhism.
But for so-called Heavenly Buddhas like Fahai, who clearly seemed like impure, fake monks, he naturally saw no need to be polite.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to enter the Academy, the Yin-Yang Holy Son spoke, "Does the esteemed Jun Family Divine Child not even dare to challenge the Three Trials?"
"There's no challenge, why should I?" Jun Xiaoyao said dismissively.
These words made many Disciples of Sacred Spirit Academy show indignant expressions.
The Sacred Spirit Academy's Three Trials were renowned tests; even Ancient Paragons had left their footprints and records there.
How could it become 'unchallenging' in Jun Xiaoyao's mouth?
"The Jun Family Divine Child's attitude is as arrogant as ever," Xia Lan said sarcastically.
At this moment, a cold shout rang out.
"How dare you speak to Young Master like that? Presumptuous!"
Yi Yu shouted coldly and made his move.
He reached out and grabbed at the Void Realm, magical power converging to form a golden bow and arrows. Two arrows shot towards the Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan.
The arrows, burning with true solar flames, pierced through the Void Realm, their power extremely formidable.
The Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan both showed horror and hurriedly resisted.
The Yin-Yang Holy Son swept his hands out, as if transforming into a black and white Tai Chi shield.
As for Xia Lan, she erupted with imperial Aura, and a king's Dao sword appeared in the Void Realm, slashing horizontally.
However, it was all useless!
The fierce arrows directly pierced through the Tai Chi shield, shattered the king's Dao sword, and then, with undiminished momentum, struck them.
Boom! Boom!
Two earth-shattering roars rang out, accompanied by two screams.
Both the Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan had terrifying bloody holes on their bodies.
The bloody holes were not in the heart area; it wasn't that Yi Yu missed, but that he intentionally did so.
It was fine to teach these two a lesson, but if he actually killed them, it would cause some trouble for Jun Xiaoyao.
Yi Yu could grasp this level of discretion.
Looking at the Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan, who were spitting blood and covered in wounds, the entire scene fell silent.
Then, shocked gazes turned towards Yi Yu.
Most Cultivators present had not participated in the Martial Arts Assembly, so they didn't know who this new person beside Jun Xiaoyao was.
"What powerful strength! He actually severely injured two Academy Saints with one move!"
"Could he be a successor of some Immortal Force and a good friend of the Jun Family Divine Child?" Some people speculated.
Yi Yu coldly surveyed his surroundings and said, "I am merely a follower of Divine Child. If anyone dares to provoke Divine Child again, don't blame me for being merciless with my arrows!"
"What!"
Yi Yu's words were like an eighteen-magnitude earthquake, leaving all the Cultivators dumbfounded, their eyes nearly popping out.
Such a powerful Young Master was merely a follower of Jun Xiaoyao?
At this moment, many Disciples of major Forces completely doubted their lives.
They couldn't even compare to Jun Xiaoyao, and even Jun Xiaoyao's followers were far, far stronger than them.
"Damn it, who is causing trouble in my Sacred Spirit Academy!"
From afar, a stern shout rang out, and a white-bearded old man appeared.
Terrifying Saint Realm fluctuations vibrated around him, distorting the Void Realm.
"It's the Sacred Spirit Academy Grand Elder, a Saint Lord powerhouse!" A Cultivator exclaimed in surprise.
The Academy Grand Elder, who usually appeared and disappeared like a Divine Dragon, was actually alarmed.
Seeing the disheveled and blood-covered Yin-Yang Holy Son and Xia Lan, the Grand Elder's eyelids twitched, and anger surged in his heart.
As his gaze swept over, he saw Jun Xiaoyao's calm and indifferent face.
"They provoked Divine Child, and my follower merely taught them a slight lesson. What, do you have an opinion?"
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the Academy Grand Elder.
