A Good Romance

Ling Han used the Shocking Electricity Sword Arts, not showing any signs of weakness, nor did he fall into a disadvantageous position.

Xia Zhong Guang was indeed very strong. With a shake of his spear, he actually shot out two flashes of Spear Qi!

"Hiss!"

Gasps of surprise could be heard from below. Two flashes of "Qi" … this could be considered an outstanding existence amongst the younger generation of Da Yuan City. This was because Xia Zhong Guang was really too young. He was only eighteen years old.

When he was the same age as the Fourth Prince, Li Dong Yue and Jin Wuji, how many flashes of Qi would he be able to produce? Three flashes, or even four flashes of Qi, and would truly be able to advance into the ranks of rulers.

Two flashes?

Ling Han smiled faintly. With a shake of his sword, he also shot out two flashes of Sword Qi.

Pu!

The crowd once again spluttered. Before they had even recovered from their shock, another shock arose. Ling Han had actually managed to form a second flash of Sword Qi. Could it be that Da Yuan City was about to rise to prominence? Prodigies were popping out one after another.

Xia Zhong Guang was also very shocked. The first flash of Qi had indeed been formed by him, but the second flash of Qi had been formed when he had accidentally entered an ancient tomb and touched a strange stone tablet. At that time, he had fainted and "experienced" a lot of memories that did not belong to him. Then, for some unknown reason, he had managed to form a second flash of Spear Qi.

Could it be that Ling Han had also had such a fortuitous encounter? Otherwise, that would be too shocking. A seventeen-year-old who had managed to form two flashes of Sword Qi … he was practically a monster!

Xia Zhong Guang attacked for a long time, but to no avail, and could not help but feel discouraged. When he thought of Lian Tao from before, he could not help but think, 'This person has three Black Grade alchemists standing behind him, and I am obviously not a match for the Fourth Prince. Then, what's the difference between being sixth and seventh? Why don't I do him a favor?'

When he thought of this, he decisively withdrew his attacks, and said, "Brother Ling's strength is extraordinary, I admit defeat."

Why did he admit defeat again? Weren't they obviously fighting on equal footing?

Aside from those who had attended the banquet at the Fourth Prince's place a few days ago, the others were all very confused. But Ling Han had revealed two flashes of Sword Qi in this battle, and his strength was indeed stronger than Lian Tao's. Previously, Lian Tao admitting defeat could also be said to have had "foresight".

Could it be that Ling Han was actually stronger than what he had shown now, and that was why Xia Zhong Guang had directly admitted defeat?

Ling Han shook his head, smiled, and said, "Brother Xia, you're too modest."

"I wish Brother Ling a better result in advance. Let's get to know each other better in the future. Please!" With a leap, Xia Zhong Guang landed on the seventh arena.

And at this moment, Jin Wuji also issued a challenge to Li Dong Yue. There was no suspense, and after a mere ten moves, Li Dong Yue was defeated by Jin Wuji. This caused Li Dong Yue to look forward to joining Hu Yang Academy even more.

With this drive, Jin Wuji issued a challenge to the Fourth Prince.

Ling Han did not have any interest in watching the battle. After a short rest, he continued to challenge the fifth arena.

The fifth arena master was Liu Yu, and he was also a genius that had only appeared in the last two years.

Because the two major battles were taking place at almost the same time, most people had gone to watch the battle between the Fourth Prince and Jin Wuji. Only people like Ling Dong Xing, Liu Yu Tong, Li Hao, and the others were paying attention to Ling Han.

"Brother Ling, please!" Liu Yu was also very polite. It could be said that in the whole of Rain Country, there was no one who would dare to ignore a Black Grade alchemist, what more when there were as many as three such alchemists standing behind Ling Han at the same time.

"Please!" Ling Han waved his sword, and two flashes of Sword Qi shot out. Since he had already revealed a portion of his true strength, there was no need for him to conceal it any longer.

Liu Yu and Xia Zhong Guang's strength could be said to be on par. Since Xia Zhong Guang was no match for Ling Han, Liu Yu was naturally no match for him either. After battling for a few dozen rounds, Liu Yu could not help but think, 'There are three Black Grade alchemists standing behind this person, and I won't be able to get first place anyways, so I might as well do him a favor.'

Thus, Liu Yu very straightforwardly admitted defeat.

Thankfully, everyone's attention was attracted by the battle between the Fourth Prince and Jin Wuji this time. Otherwise, there would definitely be people who would suspect that the competition was rigged.

Ling Han's ranking went up another level, and in front of him were only Baili Teng Yun, Li Dong Yue, Jin Wuji, and Qi Yong Ye.

Who would have thought of this before the competition?

Ling Dong Xing could not help but become excited. If Ling Han could still defeat Baili Teng Yun, then he would have the right to battle against Jin Wuji and the Fourth Prince, and obtaining first place would definitely not be a pipe dream.

The battle between Qi Yong Ye and Jin Wuji was still ongoing. The two young geniuses had both revealed their powerful sides. One used his palms, the other used his fists. Both of them had formed "Qi", and moreover, they had formed three flashes of "Qi", which meant that they were beginning to show the demeanor of a king tier.

It was at this moment that Ling Han issued a challenge to Baili Teng Yun.

Ling Dong Xing was even more nervous now. If Ling Han could win this battle, then he would definitely be able to defeat Li Dong Yue and ascend to the third place.

Top three, that was already good enough. What more could he ask for?

"Brother Ling." Baili Teng Yun was very polite towards Ling Han, and did not even put on the airs of a Young Sect Master. In fact, he was even more cordial towards Ling Han than he was towards the Fourth Prince. After all, if the Fourth Prince did not ascend to the position of the Da Yuan King, then his status would not even be comparable to Baili Teng Yun's, because the First Prince would definitely try his best to suppress him.

But Ling Han was different. There were three Black Grade alchemists behind him.

"Please."

"Please."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Baili Teng Yun immediately drew out his Staff of Death and said, "Brother Ling is very powerful. If I do not use my full strength, then it would be disrespectful to Brother Ling."

"Haha, then I would also like to experience the power of a Spiritual Tool," Ling Han said with a smile. He shook his long sword lightly, emitting a soft ringing sound.

"Be careful!" Baili Teng Yun rode on his black staff and suddenly charged towards Ling Han. The seven seals on his staff lit up one by one, and half a black skull appeared, pouncing menacingly towards Ling Han.

This black skull contained a sliver of the will of a powerful warrior, and was originally enough to pose a threat to a martial artist of Gushing Spring Tier, directly shattering the soul of a martial artist of Element Gathering Tier. However, because too much time had passed, this Spiritual Tool was already very badly damaged, and its power was no longer as great as it once was. This skull could only affect a martial artist of Element Gathering Tier to a limited extent.

However, if that was not the case, then Baili Teng Yun would not have the chance to use this Spiritual Tool.

Although Ling Han was no longer the powerful warrior of Heaven Tier from his last life, and only a sliver of his divine sense remained, Heaven Tier was still Heaven Tier after all. Even if it was only a sliver, it was still extremely powerful. This black skull was completely unable to affect him in the slightest.

He used the Lightning Sword Arts, and the sword flashed like a rainbow. "Ding, ding, ding, ding", the sword and staff continuously clashed and rubbed against each other. Two flashes of Sword Qi danced about, and Ling Han actually did not seem to be at a disadvantage in the slightest.

"Quick, quick, Ling Han is currently engaged in a great battle with Baili Teng Yun!"

"What, he's actually this strong?"

"No wonder Xia Zhong Guang and the others admitted defeat just now. So they already knew how strong Ling Han was!"

"My goodness, when did such a freak appear? He's obviously only in the fourth layer of Element Gathering Tier, yet he's actually this strong!"

More and more people turned their attention to the battle. They felt that one pair of eyes was not enough to take in everything. They were thinking about the battle between the Fourth Prince and Jin Wuji, and also thinking about the battle between Ling Han and Baili Teng Yun of the younger generation.

It was more refreshing to read on one's phone!
