Chapter 27

“Junior Brother Murong, since we couldn’t settle the score five years ago, let’s settle it today.”

With a carefree smile, Murong Tianjiao reappeared in the arena in a flash.

Five years ago, the duo was in the third stage of the tournament. They were battling it out for the first spot when both of them simultaneously sustained injuries and it subsequently tied them in first place. Using that as their motivation, they cultivated hard to triumph over each other for the past five years.

“Meteor Green Moon Slice.”

Dongfang Qingyu struck without holding back. After years of battle, they could no longer make out who was superior, but it was finally time to settle it once and for all.

As the duo was familiar with each other’s abilities, they immediately launched their most powerful attack without giving each other a breather.

This Wind-path Genius moved with such swiftness while the Meteor Green Moon Slice, an ordinary Spiritual Equipment in his hand channeled a domineering force. The combination of speed and attack raised the stakes on his overall strength.

Then, an illuminated figure arched over the sky like a meteor before slicing down on Murong Tianjiao. As a slight quiver was felt in the atmosphere, every disciple within a hundred yards of the arena watched in a distance with their jaws dropped.

“A Wind-path Warrior Soul is indeed powerful. Even my Breeze Technique wouldn’t be able to catch up to him, hehe.”

As Dongfang Qingyu’s attack and speed unfolded, Li Lingtian weighed in his options to counteract as an opponent in his mind.

“Senior Brother Dongfang’s Meteor Green Moon Slice is imperious. He should be ranked first in Sky Cloud Sect with that speed.”

“That move alone is at least a Tier Five Warrior Spirit state. He’s undefeatable.”

“…”

Underneath the arena, all disciples, including the other three Super-Geniuses, gasped in horror at the attack. The duo’s abilities were beyond them.

“With great luck, Dongfang Qingyu would definitely become a Warrior King within ten years.”

“Sky Cloud Sect will prosper with such a disciple.”

The Elders and judges above the platform were engaged in a heated discussion but with a gratified look on their faces.

“Senior Brother Dongfang has cultivated Meteor Green Moon Slice to its Summit. It’s no wonder.”

“God’s Wrath, Thousand Waves Stir.”

Murong Tianjiao was taken aback by Dongfang Qingyu’s Meteor Green Moon Slice. It had never crossed his mind that his opponent could cultivate this move to its Summit. Their experience of battling it out throughout the years had served as a reminder that there was no need to bother with some low-leveled skills and techniques because those attacks were useless.

They were also concerned that other disciples would want to challenge them after True Qi had been exhausted. Hence, they opted to go forth using their most powerful attack to suppress their opponents, with the purpose of claiming victory in a single move.

“Good, these two are good. One dominates in speed and attack while the other reigns supreme in defense and mounting pressure.”

“Meteor Green Moon Slice is the combination of speed and attack. Thousand Waves Stir is the overlay of several thousand attacks before it would erupt altogether.”

Many top Warriors, as well as judges, exchanged views on their attacks. For a moment, it was hard to determine the victor.

“Murong Tianjiao is going to lose.” Li Lingtian foresaw the outcome after witnessing both Dongfang Qingyu’s attack and Thousand Waves Stir. His experience and wisdom easily enabled him to predict the result.

Unaware of Li Lingtian’s comments, the disciples watched with aghast as the two attacks collided. Following a thundering blow, violent forces burst out of the arena.

Amid the strong blowout, the duo in the arena exchanged glances in a calm demeanor, prompting thousands of disciples in the square to hold their tongues.

“Ptui.”

The sound of blood spewing suddenly broke the silence. Meanwhile, as violent forces towered the sky, Dongfang Qingyu moved in a flash while Murong Tianjiao fell motionlessly off the arena.

“Senior Brother Murong lost.”

“Senior Brother Dongfang won.”

“What a terrifying blow.”

“No one would be able to withstand that move.”

The entire square was now engaged in various discussions over Dongfang Qingyu’s victory.

Li Lingtian was upset because an opponent he was worried about had made an appearance — a Wind-path Warrior Soul Super-Genius who moved at high velocity and struck a defiantly strong attack.

“Dongfang Qingyu wins, Murong Tianjiao has failed in his challenge.”

After obtaining the approval of various Warrior King Elders, Long Tian loudly declared Dongfang Qingyu victorious.

Dongfang Qingyu stood in the arena with a carefree smile on his face. It made countless female disciples head over heels with him.

“Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge the first place?

“The challenge for second place will begin in the other arena.

“Those who are interested in challenging the number one spot can wait ten minutes,” Long Tian announced in a loud voice.

This was because the one who won first place must accept challenges from other disciples at a maximum of three times. This way, it would prove that he deserved the position.

“Xiao Tianba, to challenge Senior Brother Duanmu,” Xiao Tianba said loudly.

He was all too familiar with Dongfang Qingyu’s cultivation level and ability. Equipped with the speed of a Wind path and powerful attack, no one would be able to defeat Dongfang Qingyu unless one’s cultivation level surpassed his.

“Okay, Junior Brother Xiao, are you sure you want to challenge me?”

Duanmu Qing walked up to the arena and took a glance at Xiao Tianba. Xiao Tianba was only a Tier Five Warrior Spirit while the other disciples had advanced to Tier Six. He would probably take Xiao Tianba seriously if it was before this, because of the vicious attack Xiao Tianba’s Metal-path Warrior Soul had.

However, now that he was a Tier Six peak Warrior Spirit, Xiao Tianba was not worth his time. While they conversed, Duanmu curled his lips into a smile, alluding a rather elegant yet natural presence.

“What do you think?”

Xiao Tianba was indifferent to Duanmu Qing’s provocation. He knew what Duanmu Qing was getting at but it was only right to suppress all emotions in the arena prior to the outcome.

“Invincible Golden Body Technique, Immovable King’s Palm.”

Without wasting another breath, he circulated his body of True Qi and ripped the dimension with his Tier Five Warrior Spirit’s Metal-path True Qi. His Metal-path Warrior Soul brought forth a Metal-path dam that was instilled in the powerful Invincible Golden Body which was an Onyx Tier inferior skill.

With a yard-long golden palm print appearing out of thin air, an aura of indistinct solemnity filled the atmosphere. Then, the palm print was viciously slammed onto Duanmu Qing.

This palm print gave off an unrivaled vibe that shook the arena and left every disciple shaking uncontrollably. They were all shocked that a Warrior Spirit’s Metal-path attack was indeed revering.

Such an attack was a rare sight to Warrior-level disciples. It was a duel between the strongest and it was a powerful Metal-path attack.

“I would’ve been wary of Junior Brother Xiao’s Immovable King’s Palm if it were before, but now, this move can only be effective on someone else.

“Star Radiance, destroy!”

A destructive force soared in the sky, stunning the disciples in the square. They were captivated by this towering force.

The air was ripped apart as though it was the apocalypse. The sky darkened but a single glow like a star in the night flickered.

“What a terrifying Qi.”

“This is the Star Radiant Body. Who would have thought that he had awakened the Star Radiant Body?”

“Pay close attention! Don’t let them get hurt. Xiao Tianba would not be able to withstand the Star Radiant Body.”

The four Warrior King Elders stood up in alarm. The omnipotent Star Radiant Body had only existed in the legends yet Duanmu Qing had managed to awaken it.

‘The Star Radiant Body is indeed strong and a natural enemy to me. Duanmu Qing must die!’

Li Lingtian was overwhelmed with shock. The Star Radiant Body was a natural rival to the Flaming Sacred Body. For him to transmigrate all the way here and activate the Flaming Sacred Body, he was not going to allow a person with the Star Radiant Body to remain alive in this world.

He had been inquisitive about the miraculous body types and Warrior Souls for a period of time. He had not attached any weight to it before but now that he possessed a Flaming Sacred Body, he was convinced.

Meanwhile, the disciples remained dumbstruck as a knuckle-sized radiance, that contrasted with gloomy Sky Cloud Sect’s square, grew in volume. Immediately after, the radiance crashed onto Xiao Tianba like a shooting star.

“Boom.”

A destructive force blasted the arena to pieces. Following the destruction of Xiao Tianba’s Immovable King’s Palm, he was flung away from the arena.

“Ptui.”

Xiao Tianba spewed a mouthful of blood. His Invincible Golden Body Technique was still intact as it protected his body with a flickering golden glow. However, his face had turned pale.

It was lucky that he cultivated the Invincible Golden Body. Or else, he would have ended up half-dead, or if not worse, dead. Fortunately, he did not suffer serious injuries and was lucky to have escaped death.

“Senior Brother Duanmu, Senior Brother Duanmu.”

“Star Radiant Body is horrifying.”

“This is the strength of a Tier Six Warrior Spirit. The first place definitely belongs to Senior Brother Duanmu.”

“The Star Radiant Body. Sky Cloud Sect is bound to have a Super-Genius who would reign the top ten in the world.”

Looking at the proud Duanmu Qing in the arena, the disciples beneath finally returned to their senses and showered him with faces of envy and admiration.

With an air of worldly disdain, Duanmu Qing swept a glance past the disciples in the square. He would triumph over Sky Cloud Sect with the birth of this Star Radiant Body. A great master would emerge amid Sky Cloud Sect ten years later.

However, his expression hardened when his gaze fell on Tang Zimeng, whose fair dainty hand was held by a young man. They looked intimate as she rested her body weight on him.
