The first time he'd fought Xiang Feiyun, he'd been at a slight disadvantage. The second time, he'd fought Xiang Feiyun to a draw.
Only now, in his third battle with Xiang Feiyun, did he finally get what he wanted.
Xiang Feiyun's cultivation speed was constant, but Chu Hongcai's was different. His true cultivation speed had only erupted after he'd cultivated the Invincible Sword Body to minor success. The higher the completion rate of the Invincible Sword Body, the stronger he became, and his cultivation speed also increased.
That was how he'd managed to surpass Xiang Feiyun even though he'd started later. Today's battle was decided in a single battle.
"How arrogant! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Shameless boasting!"
For a time, roars could be heard from within the city.
There were many experts from the Destiny Sect or related to the sect present. They were all enraged and began to berate Chu Hongcai.
"Chu Hongcai, number one on the Roll of Prodigies! Chu Yunfan was the same back then, so he received his just desserts. You'll be the same today!"
A loud shout came from Continent Center City. It came from a man with disheveled hair and dressed in cloth clothes. He stepped out of the void and arrived in front of Chu Hongcai.
"Li Yuanjia!"
Chu Hongcai spat out each word as he stared coldly at the man in front of him.
"Hiss, it's actually Li Yuanjia! Even he's here!"
"Isn't that one of the Destiny Sect's prodigies from the last Roll of Prodigies? Even he's been drawn here!"
"That's right, it really is him. He's one of the Destiny Sect's prodigies from the last Roll of Prodigies. It's been a few years since he's made a move, but who would've thought he'd appear now?"
"The Destiny Sect is probably prepared for both sides. It'll be fine if Xiang Feiyun wins, but if he loses, they'll probably do the same to Chu Hongcai as they did to Chu Yunfan!"
"Indeed, Chu Hongcai's growth is simply too fast. If he continues to grow at this rate, he'll become another Chu Yunfan in the future. Someone like that is extremely hostile toward the Destiny Sect. If I were the one in charge of the Destiny Sect, I wouldn't let him off so easily either!"
Everyone was discussing among themselves, but they were all guessing that this was the Destiny Sect's trump card. The outcome of this battle didn't matter much. Even the death of the first ranker of the Heaven's Chosen Ranking wasn't a huge blow to the Destiny Sect. However, a top-notch expert who was hostile towards the Destiny Sect was a huge threat.
Of course, Chu Hongcai couldn't be considered a top-notch expert right now, but given his rate of growth, he would definitely become one in the future.
"A life for a life, this is fair and just. You killed a disciple of my Destiny Sect, today I will kill you!" Li Yuanjia's eyes were incomparably cold. Blood energy surged from his body, directly disrupting the standoff between the black-robed elder and the black-robed elder.
The black-robed elder's expression turned grave. He wouldn't have taken the black-robed elder seriously, since they were at most evenly matched. However, now that the even more terrifying Li Yuanjia had joined the fray, everything was different.
More than ten years had passed, and the situation in the world had already undergone earth-shattering changes. The geniuses of that generation on the Heaven's Chosen Roll back then were the same as the geniuses of this generation. Although they had potential, they had yet to grow up. They only had potential.
However, a dozen years had passed, and they had fully matured into powerhouses. They were even more of a threat to him than the black-robed elder.
Li Yuanjia's blood energy surged faster and faster, and his terrifying aura shocked the world. He stood in midair like a god.
"The Destiny Sect has always been despicable and shameless!"
Just then, a cold snort came from the distance. A figure dressed in moon-white robes appeared in front of the crowd.
This was a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He exuded an imposing aura.
He faced off against Li Yuanjia, and a similarly shocking aura surged from his body. His aura was no weaker than Li Yuanjia's.
"Yang Dengxian, it's actually Yang Dengxian!"
Many people cried out in surprise. Unlike Li Yuanjia, Yang Dengxian's status in the Soaring Immortal Sect was even higher. He had been promoted to vice sect master several years ago, and it was already confirmed that he would be the next successor of the Soaring Immortal Sect.
It could even be said that he was the next sect master!
Over the past few years, Yang Dengxian had been busy dealing with various matters in the sect while cultivating. It had been a long time since he had appeared in public. Now that he had appeared before everyone because of Chu Hongcai and Xiang Feiyun's battle, many people couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
The Destiny Sect was prepared, but the Soaring Immortal Sect was no pushover.
Li Yuanjia's aura surged like a monstrous wave, but Yang Dengxian wasn't any weaker.
The crowd even realized that Yang Dengxian's ranking had been slightly lower than Li Yuanjia's back then, but now, he was just as strong as Li Yuanjia.
"Arcana Plane?" Chu Yunfan didn't say a word in the crowd, but he still noticed that both Li Yuanjia and Yang Dengxian had already broken through to the Arcana Plane.
In the span of a decade, they had transformed from up-and-coming youngsters into giants of their own domains. They could influence the situation of the entire world, and they were truly great figures.
Their cultivations were even deeper and more terrifying than the Donghua Goddess's had been a decade ago. They truly deserved to be in the top 20 of the Prodigy Roll.
Back then, the Donghua Goddess's ranking had only been in the middle, while Li Weiyuan and the others had been at the bottom of Jun Tianci's batch. There was a huge difference in potential at different levels.
"Today, Chu Hongcai must die. Otherwise, the hatred in the Destiny Sect's heart will not be quelled!"
At that moment, more than a dozen incomparably powerful auras emerged from Zhongzhou City. They weren't any weaker than the two Path Protectors.
In Zhongzhou City, almost all the experts were about to faint. Others might not know, but they knew all too well that all of these people were, without exception, terrifying existences in the Arcana Plane.
Even up-and-coming youngsters like Li Yuanjia and Yang Dengxian were terrifying existences who had broken through to the Arcana Plane. They couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as they had been in the past.
More than a decade ago, Chu Yunfan had defeated the Donghua Goddess, who was in the Arcana Plane. It could be said that he had outshone the others. But now, more than a decade later, those of the same generation who could only look up to him in the past had all broken through to realms that they could only dream of in the past.
