Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Emperor's memorial. Although they had already made up their minds, they still wanted to hear the Emperor personally say who the winner was.
However, compared to everyone else, Pang Zhi looked relaxed and confident, as if he wasn't worried that he would lose.
However, if one observed closely, they would discover that Pang Zhi's face was slightly pale. It could be seen that he hadn't been slacking off in the past 10 days. Needless to say, even with his eyes closed, Xing Jue could guess what he had been doing in the past 10 days.
During these ten days, he must have stayed in the alchemy camp day and night, using his unyielding alchemy methods to refine precious pellets as if his life depended on it. His confident smile showed that he was very satisfied with the results of his hard work.
"I believe that everyone already knows about the competition between General Xing Jue and General Pang Zhi, so I won't keep you in suspense."
"Phew ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The Emperor's words set off a huge uproar among the crowd. Although Xing Jue had displayed outstanding talent, most people didn't think that Xing Jue would win the competition because they knew how powerful Pang Zhi was.
Pang Zhi was a very powerful figure in the entire Tianji Battalion. Because of this, Wang Qiang thought highly of him. Moreover, apart from his powerful strength, Pang Zhi's refining skills were also very high.
Therefore, when they heard about the competition between Xing Jue and Pang Zhi, they all felt that Pang Zhi would definitely win. However, the outcome had completely exceeded their expectations. How could they not be shocked?
"Impossible, Your Majesty, did you see wrongly?"
Compared to everyone's shock, disbelief was written all over Pang Zhi's face. He simply could not believe that with his alchemy skills, he would lose to the Punishment Execution even though he had been refining day and night.
"Impudent! Pang Zhi, are you saying that I deceived you?" After hearing Pang Zhi's words, the Emperor's face was filled with rage.
"This general doesn't dare, this general doesn't dare ~" Pang Zhi's expression changed greatly when he saw this, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground as he repeatedly admitted his mistake.
"Your Majesty, not only did General Pang Zhi continuously supervise the refinement of the pill during these ten days, he also participated in the refinement of the pill."
"And now, General Pang Zhi actually lost. Could it be that there's something wrong with the memorial?" At this moment, General Wang Qiang, who was standing beside the emperor, questioned with a smile.
"Official Wang, do you want to say that I cheated?" The Emperor slightly tilted his head and showed a displeased look.
"This humble subject does not dare, but …" Seeing the emperor's appearance, Wang Qiang, who had always been under the emperor's care, also became nervous.
"But Lord Wang and General Pang Zhi feel that I, Xing Jue, am too weak. Even if I'm stronger than General Pang Zhi, I'm still not qualified for this position, right?" At this moment, Xing Jue, who was standing below, suddenly took a step forward and spoke with a faint smile on his face.
"You're not qualified to begin with!"
When Xing Jue said those words, Pang Zhi, who was filled with anger but had to endure it, instantly exploded. He actually ignored the situation and pointed at Xing Jue and shouted.
"Pang Zhi, impudent!" The Emperor roared.
"Your Majesty, actually, I feel that what General Pang Zhi said is correct."
"I believe that aside from General Pang Zhi, many people here also think the same. They feel that I, Xing Jue, am not qualified to represent the Heavenly Secret Battalion."
However, at this moment, Xing Jue cupped his hands and asked the Emperor for instructions, "Therefore, I would like to implore Your Majesty to give me, Xing Jue, a chance. I can let everyone know whether I, Xing Jue, am qualified or not."
Seeing this, the Emperor was stunned at first, then asked in confusion, "Xing Jue, what chance do you want?"
"I want to compete with General Pang Zhi again. This time, it's not a competition of ability, but a competition of martial strength!" Xing Jue said with a faint smile.
"What? You want to compete with Pang Zhi in martial strength? "
After hearing Xing Jue's words, not to mention the Emperor, not to mention the Generals, even Wang Qiang and Pang Zhi, who dreamed of Xing Jue's death, were shocked. They didn't even dare to believe their ears.
"I hope that Your Majesty will grant my wish!" Xing Jue cupped his hands again, expressing his determination.
"This … Alright then, the two of you stop!" Seeing that Xing Jue was determined, although the Emperor was extremely reluctant, he couldn't refuse in front of so many Generals, so he could only allow it.
Then, the people in the hall moved to the square outside the hall to watch the competition between Xing Jue and Pang Zhi.
"Xing Jue, I have to admit that I admire your courage a little now."
"However, in a situation where you don't have the strength, your courage will only make you lose face!" In the center of the square, Pang Zhi and Xing Jue stood opposite each other. Pang Zhi even cast a contemptuous look at Xing Jue.
"If I make you lose face today, then I can only apologize. However, I also want to tell you that this is also the reason why I came here today." Xing Jue smiled, looking like he didn't care about Pang Zhi, who was a level higher than him, at all.
"Very well, then let's see who will lose face today!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Pang Zhi's body leaned forward and he took a step forward. Accompanied by a strong wind on the ground, Pang Zhi was already like an arrow that had left the bow, shooting explosively towards Xing Jue.
"Hu hu hu"
Furthermore, at this moment, Pang Zhi's palms danced as he struck out continuously. Every single palm strike would send out a one-meter-wide flaming palm print. After several palm strikes, it formed a momentum that covered the sky and covered the earth. Like a huge wave of flames, it fiercely pressed down on the Punishment Jue from all directions.
"High Grade Earth Rank Martial Skill!"
Looking at the huge flaming wave that was already pressing towards him before the attack arrived, Xing Jue had already determined the rank of Pang Zhi's martial skill. Since Pang Zhi had used a High Grade Earth Rank Martial Skill, it could be seen that he didn't show any mercy and wanted to defeat Xing Jue with a single strike.
"The momentum isn't bad, but unfortunately, against me … it's ineffective!"
Facing Pang Zhi's attack, Xing Jue neither dodged nor dodged. Instead, he stood on the spot and waited for the huge flaming wave to engulf him. Only when the huge wave was about to reach him did Xing Jue's pupils suddenly widen and a dark black gas burst out from his body.
"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The instant the huge flaming wave came into contact with Xing Jue's body, a deafening roar erupted. Waves of hot air rose from the flames and spread outwards. At this moment, a small sea of fire appeared in the center of the plaza.
"Why isn't Xing Jue dodging? Is it because he can't make it in time? "Looking at Xing Jue who had already been swallowed by the flames, a worried and puzzled expression surfaced on General Zhao's face.
"Of course it's because he can't make it in time. Pang Zhi's strength is that of an intermediate stage wargod."
"And Xing Jue has only just entered the beginner stage wargod level. Pang Zhi's attack is incomparably powerful and imposing. Even you and I might not be able to dodge it, let alone Xing Jue." Next to General Zhao, a beginner stage wargod level general said with certainty.
At this moment, not only General Zhao, but even the emperor's eyes were filled with nervousness. As someone who favored Xing Jue, he didn't want Xing Jue to suffer even the slightest bit of harm.
However, compared to the emperor and the others, Wang Qiang's face was filled with schadenfreude. He couldn't wait for Xing Jue to die within the flames.
"Ta … … Ta … … Ta … …"
However, just as everyone was guessing whether Xing Jue was dead or alive, a series of footsteps suddenly rang out from within the flames. Soon after, a figure wrapped in dark flames walked out from within the flames. This person was Xing Jue.
"This aura, that, that, that's a high grade totem???"
Looking at the current Xing Jue, everyone at the scene was shocked. This was because they shockingly discovered that Xing Jue was still holding a huge, dark sword in his hand. The black flames surrounding Xing Jue's body were emitted from the huge sword.
Most importantly, even the emperor, Wang Qiang, and the great general, who had reached the intermediate level of the wargod level, felt a strong pressure from the enormous sword. As for the generals who were stuck at the beginner level of the wargod level, they found it difficult to breathe under this pressure, and some of them even began to tremble.
In the entire Starfall Dynasty, there were only two high grade totem. The ones who possessed them were the current emperor and Marshal Xiao Ding. From this, one could see how valuable a high grade totem was. Yet, Xing Jue actually took out a high grade totem at this moment. How could everyone not be shocked?
"High grade totem, you, how do you have a totem of this level?" At this moment, Pang Zhi, who was closest to Xing Jue, had a pale face and an expression of fear appeared on his face.
"Whoosh"
Xing Jue didn't respond to Pang Zhi's words. He took a step forward and disappeared like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already behind Pang Zhi.
"Buzz"
By the time Pang Zhi reacted, the Soul Eater Shura in Xing Jue's hand had already slammed down on his back with a powerful pressure. It was so fast that Pang Zhi had no time to dodge.
"Bang!!!"
Xing Jue's speed was too fast. By the time everyone reacted, they only heard a muffled sound from behind Pang Zhi. When everyone looked over, they shockingly discovered that Pang Zhi was already under Xing Jue's foot and lying on the ground in a sorry state.
"Phew ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but gasp. Their faces were filled with astonishment.
"How is this possible? Even if he has a high grade totem, he shouldn't be able to defeat an intermediate stage wargod. Furthermore, he did it with such an absolute advantage. This is … "Looking at the scene in front of him, the general standing next to General Zhao had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"If it's just a high grade totem, then it's indeed impossible to exert such pressure. However, the owner of the totem can decide the power of the totem." General Zhao stared at Xing Jue and Pang Zhi. The word "astonishment" was also written on his face. He was astonished because Xing Jue's potential had completely surpassed his imagination. This was simply terrifying.
"Damn it, damn it ~ ~ ~ ~"
Under everyone's gaze, Pang Zhi had already lost all face after being stepped on by Xing Jue. He was currently angry and unwilling. He used all his strength to prop himself up, but he couldn't do anything against Xing Jue's foot. At this moment, the outcome was already decided.
