Nie Tian looked at Tang Shisan, his divine sense sweeping over Tang Shisan's body. Only after confirming that Tang Shisan was fine did he relax.
It seemed that using the Primal Asura power was too much of a burden on Tang Shisan, even hurting his body.
Tang Shisan was clearly injured, so why did he pretend to be fine? Was he trying to make others think he was strong?
Nie Tian was well aware that Tang Shisan wasn't a vain person.
"Nie Tian, before you fight Zhu Xiyi, your strongest opponent should be that guy called Zu Wan, right?" Tang Shisan's lips twitched, a faint smile on his face.
"Mm." Nie Tian nodded, his eyes gloomy.
If he wanted to become the Five Academy Martial Chief, he must defeat Zhu Xiyi. And to fight Zhu Xiyi, he must first emerge from the top eight.
Among the top eight, the two people that Nie Tian dreaded the most were the All Ghost Ancestor and Xiu Wanjie.
Compared to Xiu Wanjie, the All Ghost Ancestor gave him a heavier pressure.
Before facing Zhu Xiyi, the All Ghost Ancestor would be Nie Tian's greatest opponent.
Nie Tian didn't think that Tang Shisan would be able to see through this.
"I'm not sure I can defeat that guy, but I'll do my best to force him to use his trump card. You'll have to watch carefully when the time comes." Tang Shisan smiled, a sly expression on his face.
"Mm?" Nie Tian frowned, stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered as he reacted.
It turned out that Tang Shisan had already made plans to fight the All Ghost Ancestor.
It was obvious that in the next two battles, Xiu Wanjie and the All Ghost Ancestor had a higher chance of winning.
And Xiu Wanjie was currently ranked first, so he would be the first to choose his opponent.
For now, the strength that Tang Shisan displayed was already above Nie Tian.
And the stronger Tang Shisan was, the higher the chance that Xiu Wanjie would choose Nie Tian first.
Tang Shisan had displayed even greater strength in order to force Nie Tian to avoid the All Ghost Ancestor.
Even if he couldn't defeat the Ten Thousand Ghosts Ancestor, he would be able to force the latter to use more of his trump cards, allowing Nie Tian to gain a better understanding of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Ancestor.
Tang Shisan was injured, but he pretended to be fine. He was actually trying to help Nie Tian reach the summit!
Only then did Nie Tian understand this layer of meaning.
"Thanks, Tang Shisan." Nie Tian's mouth twitched as he lightly said.
"I'm not qualified to be the Martial King of the five academies. I can only rely on you." Tang Shisan smiled calmly.
Nie Tian forced a smile and did not say anything else.
Next, the third battle of the top eight began. Zu Wan versus King Shang.
On the battle stage, two figures stood coldly in the air. Their auras were incomparably powerful, causing the void to rumble.
"King Shang, I hope you can allow Zu Wan to attack a few more times." Nie Tian looked at the two figures and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Of course, he knew that King Shang was no match for Zu Wan. It would already be very good if he could allow Zu Wan to attack a few more times.
"A bladesman who lost to Nie Tian, I have no interest in fighting you." In the void, Zu Wan said in a low voice, his cold eyes filled with contempt.
"Is that so?" King Shang's expression darkened as he growled. In an instant, his aura surged out and a powerful bladesman's aura surged out like a tsunami, surging and threatening to swallow the heavens.
Facing King Shang's powerful aura, Zu Wan was expressionless, as if the former did not exist.
"Weng!" In the next moment, King Shang's Ghost Splitter appeared in his hand. The sound of the blade pierced through the clouds and cracked rocks. The terrifying aura of the blade enveloped the entire battle stage, filling the air with murderous intent.
"Boom!" Then, Ghost Splitter descended from the sky. The shadow of the blade was like a mountain, slashing towards Zu Wan.
"What a powerful blade!" Seeing this, the crowd's eyes widened and they all exclaimed.
King Shang's attack was filled with bladesman's aura and anger. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Zu Wan!
However, in the face of this tyrannical blade, Zu Wan's silhouette was as majestic as a mountain and he did not move at all. He was like a ten-thousand-year-old boulder in the middle of a storm. No matter how violent the waves were, he would not move.
"Is this guy crazy?" The crowd's eyes widened and their hearts trembled.
Zu Wan stood where he was. Wasn't this equivalent to suicide?
Arrogance, there was no such thing as arrogance.
However, at the next moment, a strange scene occurred.
"Weng!" The shadow of the blade fell like a waterfall. However, when it was still a hundred meters away from Zu Wan, it suddenly stopped. It was as if it had hit an invisible wall. With a low rumble, it could not move an inch forward.
"This …" The crowd's eyes widened again. They were shocked by the scene in front of them. They gasped and did not know what was happening.
"What a strong ghostly aura!" Seeing this, Nie Tian's expression changed and he exclaimed in his heart.
He could sense that Zu Wan had released a formless ghostly aura in an instant. It formed a shield in front of him.
The ghostly aura was not strong, but it gave off a strong feeling. It was as if it had the power to stop everything and destroy everything.
Nie Tian originally thought that the most terrifying thing about Zu Wan was that he had many strange movement skills.
But now, he realized that Zu Wan's absolute strength was also extremely shocking.
Even Xiu Wanjie might not be able to use ghostly aura to resist King Warrior's attack and come out unscathed.
"How can this guy be so strong?" On the other side, Xiu Wanjie was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
Before participating in the recruitment of the five academies, he was very confident that he would become the leader of the five academies.
But after that, a series of events happened one after another that caught him off guard.
First, the appearance of Nie Tian and the others made him feel threatened.
Then, Zhu Xiyi suddenly appeared and directly cut off his thoughts of becoming the leader of the five academies.
But now, there was Zu Wan, who also shocked him.
If he were to ask himself, if he was the one standing on the stage, he would not be able to block King Shang's full powered saber without moving at all!
In the next moment, an even more shocking scene occurred.
"Boom!" On the battle stage, Zu Wan took a step forward. Instantly, the void rumbled and a terrifying aura spread out, forcefully shattering the shadow of the blade in the air.
"This …" King Warrior's eyes trembled as he exclaimed. He could not believe what he was seeing.
He had used all his strength in that attack, yet it did not harm Zu Wan at all. On the contrary, it was instantly destroyed by Zu Wan. How was this possible?
Just how strong was Zu Wan?
"It's over." Then, the corner of Zu Wan's lips twitched. Immediately, a gust of ghostly aura whizzed out and knocked King Warrior back, drawing a bloody trail in the air.
This astounding scene caused everyone's expressions to freeze, and they were all petrified on the spot.
