Chapter 220: Shocking Outcome!
Ling Meiyu’s chest rose and fell heavily, her body refusing to move.
She could barely lift her head.
Her gaze met his—those dark, unreadable eyes that held no mockery, no arrogance.
Only finality.
“It’s over, Ling Meiyu!”
Feng Yun said.
Her breath hitched.
She clenched her fists.
It really was over.
Ling Meiyu lay there, staring up at the sky.
She had fought with everything she had.
But against Feng Yun…
It hadn’t been enough.
For the first time, she truly felt what it meant to stand before an insurmountable wall.
And for the first time…
She understood just how far ahead he had gone.
Her ex-fiancé…
The boy she once looked down on…
Three years ago, he was just a weakling stuck in the Qi Gathering Realm.
And now…
A bitter taste rose in her throat.
She had once believed herself invincible.
That no one in their generation could surpass her.
That if anyone could stand at the peak, it would be her.
But now, the one she had looked down upon stood above her, his power undeniable.
Her pride screamed at her to fight back.
To get up.
To strike him down.
But her body refused.
Her flames refused.
Even if she tried—even if she forced herself to stand—
Would it matter?
Would it change anything?
She had lost!
And nothing could change that.
A dry chuckle escaped her lips.
Then another.
Then another.
Until she was laughing weakly to herself, her voice hoarse.
“…Hah…”
She looked up at Feng Yun, her golden eyes shining with something indiscernible.
“Three years… You really changed!”
Feng Yun remained silent.
She let out another breath, this time closing her eyes.
For the first time in her life—
She admitted it.
“I lost!”
The words echoed across the battlefield, ringing through the silent arena.
***
The onlookers were stunned.
For a few long seconds, silence engulfed the stadium after the final clash between Feng Yun and Ling Meiyu.
Even the referee was at a loss as if he had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the storm to pass.
They weren’t sure whether the fight was over or Ling Meiyu still had something hidden under her belt.
Ling Meiyu’s words had sealed the outcome and the referee finally came out of hiding knowing that the fight had ended.
The referee swiftly ran toward the center of the battlefield, voice slightly unsteady as he declared—
“Winner, Feng Yun of the Feng Clan!”
The final match of the Dragon and Phoenix Competition had come to an end.
The result was something that no one had expected.
The crowd erupted.
Some in shock, some in disbelief, and others in pure admiration.
“Feng Yun has really won!”
“He actually defeated Ling Meiyu!”
“With a Mythical Flame! That is also with his Three Elements Divine Realm cultivation! This is… unreal!”
“The entire Azure Sky Empire is going to change. Feng Yun has defeated the number one genius!”
“I still can’t believe this. Ling Meiyu really lost!”
“Ling Clan would really regret their decision. They could have this perfect son-in-law but… Sigh! One bad decision is all it takes to create the biggest mistake.”
…
The implications of Feng Yun’s victory were far greater than anyone could have imagined.
For the last ten years, Ling Meiyu has been hailed as an unparalleled genius.
And now, she had been defeated—by the one once mocked as the Feng Clan’s trash.
But that wasn’t the most shocking part.
Anyone could see it now.
Feng Yun’s talent far surpassed Ling Meiyu’s.
Ling Meiyu was revered as a once-in-a-century prodigy due to her monstrous cultivation speed; Foundation Establishment at age 10, Core Formation at 13, and Grand Qi Condensation at 16
By all logic, no one should have been able to catch up to her.
Yet, three years ago, Feng Yun was still stuck in the Qi Gathering Realm. And in just three years, he had reached the same realm as Ling Meiyu.
If Ling Meiyu’s cultivation speed was considered monstrous, then Feng Yun’s was beyond comprehension.
Reaching the Three Elements Divine Realm was an achievement that 99.99% of cultivators would never reach in their entire lifetime—
Yet, Feng Yun had done it in three years.
***
“What?! How can Junior Sister lose?!”
“No! This must be a mistake!”
“Feng Yun must have cheated! Otherwise, this doesn’t make sense!”
The disciples of the Mystic Flame Sect were in complete disbelief.
Even though they had witnessed it with their own eyes, they couldn’t accept it.
The man they had looked down upon had now surpassed their most revered genius.
“Silence!”
A powerful voice cut through the uproar, carrying an undeniable weight.
Xue Hongxia’s voice carried no anger, no frustration—just pure authority.
The disciples who had been clamoring in disbelief immediately froze, their words stuck in their throats.
She looked at them, her scarlet eyes glinting coldly.
She was disappointed.
Not because Ling Meiyu had lost.
But because her sect’s disciples, the supposed elites of the Mystic Flame Sect, had failed to grasp the most fundamental truth of the cultivation world.
It was one thing to be ignorant.
But it was another to be so arrogant that they denied reality when it was laid bare before them.
Did they truly believe that their understanding of talent and power was absolute?
Had their pride blinded them to the fact that beyond the peak they had always looked up to, an even higher peak existed?
Her gaze returned to the battlefield, where Ling Meiyu was, her body still trembling slightly.
She had fought with everything she had.
And she had lost.
Xue Hongxia’s expression softened slightly.
She wasn’t disappointed in Ling Meiyu.
No, Ling Meiyu had done well.
She had been pushed to her limits and had even surpassed them.
But Feng Yun…
That boy had broken the very concept of limits itself.
A prodigy like Ling Meiyu, who had cultivated faster than anyone in the Azure Sky Empire, was still within expectations.
But Feng Yun?
Three years ago, he was nothing.
And now?
Now, he stood above them all.
If Ling Meiyu was a genius that appeared once in a century, then Feng Yun was…
Something else entirely.
A monster!
A phenomenon that defied all logic.
And that, more than anything, terrified her disciples.
Because it meant that their beliefs, their pride, and their certainty about Ling Meiyu’s invincibility—had been shattered beyond repair.
Xue Hongxia exhaled softly and spoke once more.
“Feng Yun won. That is the truth!”
Her words were absolute.
There was no room for debate, no arguments to be made.
The disciples of the Mystic Flame Sect lowered their heads, unable to refute her.
Even if they didn’t want to accept it—
They had no choice.
Even their Sect Leader said so, how can they deny it?
“Feng Yun really defeated Meiyu!”
Yuan Ziyan muttered with some unknown emotion.
Unlike the other disciples, Yuan Ziyan had already accepted Ling Meiyu’s defeat, even though she, too, had always thought of Ling Meiyu as invincible.
But invincibility was an illusion.
Even the strongest could be surpassed.
And strangely enough…
A part of her was happy with the outcome.
When Feng Yun won, she had felt it—
A spark of happiness!
And yet, at the same time, there was sadness.
She glanced at Ling Meiyu, who lay unconscious, her once undefeated aura shattered.
She had always believed that no one in their generation could possibly match Ling Meiyu.
Even she, despite priding herself on her own talent, couldn’t help but feel inferior before Ling Meiyu.
But it is what it is.
Feng Yun has won with his strength and there wasn’t anything she or anyone else could do about it.
***
“Chen’er! Yun’er did it!”
Feng Zhenshan exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement.
“He really did it!”
The other elders of the Feng Clan were just as ecstatic, their faces lighting up with pride and joy.
For three years, their clan had endured humiliation, mocked and belittled because of Ling Meiyu cancellation of their engagement.
But now—
That humiliation had been erased.
In front of the entire empire, Feng Yun proved that Ling Meiyu was the one who made the wrong choice back then.
“Brother Yun won!”
“He’s the Number One genius now!”
Feng Jianhong, Feng Liang, and the other younger members of the Feng Clan cheered, their excitement spilling over uncontrollably.
They had always believed in Feng Yun.
But even with that belief, they had still been uncertain—because Ling Meiyu’s talent and strength were undeniable.
Yet the result was clear for all to see.
Feng Yun was stronger.
And the entire world had witnessed it.
Feng Mei looked at Feng Yun, her eyes filled with happiness and admiration.
She was overjoyed at his victory, but more than that—
She was relieved.
For three years, she had seen the shadow in his heart, the lingering knot that had held him back.
But now…
That knot should finally be untangled.
He was no longer bound by his past.
He was free!
She smiled softly.
“Brother Yun… you really did it.”
