Above the vast Dragon Sealing City, all the geniuses under the Starry Heavens seemed to be dwarfed by this confidence.
Countless stars flickered in the night sky. He was silently telling everyone that he, Sima Lingxuan, was the most resplendent star.
When Sima Lingxuan drew his sword, it gave off a sharp light. The strong wind that blew immediately surrounded the sword.
The strong and surging sword intent slowly rose. Soon, it reached Small Perfection. Then, it continued to climb to forty percent comprehension.
Just when everyone thought that this was the end, the sword intent continued to rise. Fifty percent comprehension … sixty percent comprehension!
Sima Lingxuan's sword intent had actually reached sixty percent comprehension. Another ten percent would be the true Great Perfection sword intent. That was a level that several seniors of the Sword Dao could not reach.
A solid and sharp energy surged out from the tip of Sima Lingxuan's sword intent. In an instant, it broke the formless energy formed by Bai Qi's saber intent.
"Pu ci!"
After breaking the saber intent, Sima Lingxuan's sword intent dimmed slightly. However, its form was scattered, but its intent remained; its sharpness did not diminish.
"Ka ca!"
Just as the sword intent was about to strike Bai Qi, Sima Lingxuan sheathed his sword. The sharp sword intent instantly scattered.
The sword intent turned into a formless sword wind and spread wildly in all directions. A few unlucky cultivators were struck by this sword wind and immediately suffered minor injuries.
The many cultivators on the top of the thousands of towers in the surrounding mountain ranges were silent; not a single sound could be heard.
They had expected Sima Lingxuan to be strong. However, they had not expected him to be this strong. Unexpectedly, he could crush his opponent's saber intent within the same generation.
A Small Perfection saber intent was equivalent to a thirty-percent-comprehended saber intent. However, Sima Lingxuan comprehended his sword intent to sixty-percent-comprehended, twice as strong as his opponent.
Although Bai Qi's saber intent was strong, it was a tragedy for him to run into Sima Lingxuan.
"Sixty-percent-comprehended sword intent … Bai Qi did not lose unjustly."
"Sima Lingxuan is indeed Sima Lingxuan. The title of the top genius is indeed not an exaggeration. The top seed is definitely him."
"He is confident and talented. Furthermore, he has the support of a Noble Clan. His future is destined to be extraordinary."
"I reckon the Sima Family is going to win four consecutive championships. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid they will eventually become the strongest family in the world."
The many cultivators in the mountain range all sighed as they looked at Sima Lingxuan, who was enveloped by the eight beams of golden light. They were not stingy with their praises.
At the very edge of the four hundred dragon pillars, the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King, Xuanyuan Zhantian, looked at Sima Lingxuan, who had used his sword intent to defeat Bai Qi.
He revealed a faint smile and said softly, "Interesting. This Five Nation Youth Competition is indeed the right choice. It is much better than the elite competition in the Boundless Sea. I finally found a place where I can bring out my strength."
"Everyone says that Bai Qi did not lose unjustly. However, I feel that he lost unjustly. Ha ha! Not only is this Sima Lingxuan strong, but his schemes are also terrifying."
While Xuanyuan Zhantian was in a daze, the other competitors who were also fighting for this dragon pillar all smiled sinisterly. "Fool, to think you are still in a daze at this moment."
He brandished his weapon and sent a sharp attack at Xuanyuan Zhantian.
"Bang!"
Xuanyuan Zhantian recovered his wits and smiled faintly. He casually swung his Heavenly War Halberd, and an azure flood dragon circled around the halberd before exploding.
The weapons of the competitors who sneak-attacked Xuanyuan Zhantian all flew out.
"Hehe! The game is over. Little friends, I have no time to play with you." Xuanyuan Zhantian smiled coldly. Before everyone's shocked gazes, he swept his Heavenly War Halberd everywhere.
A strong dragon-shaped shockwave burst out. The crowd could not even block one move and fell.
Behind the central dragon pillar, Bai Qi had an extremely stunned expression on his face. After a while, he suddenly reacted and said angrily, "Sima Lingxuan, you did that on purpose?"
Sima Lingxuan laughed loudly and said without any fear, "That's right. I did that on purpose. If you admit defeat, you can go."
Bai Qi was not satisfied in his heart. He could only endure the bitterness in his heart. However, he could only leave helplessly to fight for the other nine seeded spots.
The two's exchange confused others. However, Xiao Chen, who was on the roof, understood what was going on.
Sima Lingxuan had set this up from the very start. He knew how powerful the Four Season Saber Technique was and that Bai Qi was not the Bai Qi from three years ago.
Sima Lingxuan would not be able to obtain an easy victory. Hence, he purposely competed in saber intent.
Normal people would know that saber intent was stronger than sword intent. However, Sima Lingxuan still wanted to compete. There had to be a reason behind it.
However, the situation forced him to. Sima Lingxuan had said those words before everyone. Even if Bai Qi knew it was inappropriate, he had no choice but to brace himself.
Furthermore, Bai Qi felt that his saber intent might not necessarily be weaker than his opponent's sword intent. Hence, he dove in.
Thus, everyone saw Sima Lingxuan easily defeat Bai Qi. This made Sima Lingxuan's confidence even stronger.
However, in the end, this was just an open scheme and not a hidden one. Sima Lingxuan had indeed relied on his own strength to defeat Bai Qi.
No matter how sullen Bai Qi felt, he had still lost this battle.
The layman watched for the excitement, while the expert watched for the artistry. From Sima Lingxuan's display, Xiao Chen had a rough understanding of his strength.
Sima Lingxuan's sword intent was very strong. However, when he withdrew his sword, he did not control the sword intent flying around.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel that Sima Lingxuan had wanted to control him at that time. If he did not, the sword wind flying around would be even stronger, more than enough to kill the cultivator struck by it.
"The sword intent that he can control perfectly should only be fifty percent comprehended. Forcefully raising it to sixty percent is already his limit."
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Sima Lingxuan is very strong. However, he is not so strong that he is undefeatable. The strongest thing about him is that horrifying, heaven-defying confidence in his heart.
While Sima Lingxuan and Bai Qi fought, the fights for the other dragon pillars did not stop. However, the spectators focused their attention on the two of them.
At this moment, the fights for the dragon pillars in several places had already concluded. Several people stood firmly on the dragon pillars. Their expressions were either excited or calm as they waited for the golden dragon to soar.
Great waves washed away the sand. Under this starry sky, the true elite geniuses would appear one by one.
"Rumble!
Rumble! "As one minute slowly passed, the huge dragons circling the stone pillars under these people started to struggle. They looked like they would soar into the sky at any moment.
However, just as the huge dragons were about to soar into the sky, they suddenly stopped moving. It was like time had frozen.
The huge dragon sculptures that came to life were all motionless. It was like something shocking was about to appear, so they did not dare to be presumptuous.
The participants who qualified could not help but show startled expressions. They quickly looked towards the center of the plaza.
They saw Sima Lingxuan standing calmly on the tallest and largest dragon pillar. The huge dragon scales circling the stone pillar immediately turned golden. Then, they turned into a golden dragon soaring into the sky.
"A great dragon is indeed a great dragon. The great dragon has not moved yet. How can the little dragon move first?" Some of the cultivators who had watched the previous Five Nation Youth Competitions laughed gently.
There was no surprise on Xiao Chen's face. It had always been like this in the past. As long as someone stood on the dragon pillar in the middle, they would not be able to do so.
Even if a participant stood on the other dragon pillars, the huge dragons circling the stone pillars would not be able to fly.
This was because the dragon in the middle was a true great dragon, the king of dragons. Once the king appeared, the other huge dragons had to retreat.
Sima Lingxuan, who was encased in the golden light, looked at the dumbfounded people around him. His lips curled up in a smile, and the confidence in his heart grew even stronger.
Three years ago, he, Sima Lingxuan, stood here proudly as well. No one was a match for him.
Three years later, when the age of geniuses arrived, he, Sima Lingxuan, was still standing here.
He wanted to prove that even in this age of geniuses, he, Sima Lingxuan, could still stand at the peak, becoming the main character of this age.
He wanted to bring the Luck of the Sky Dome Realm to the Kunlun Realm and meet the geniuses of the other great realms. Then, he would trample on his opponents one by one.
Only he, Sima Lingxuan, was the main character!
Only he, Sima Lingxuan, was worthy of standing here!
Only he, Sima Lingxuan, was qualified to obtain the Luck of the Sky Dome Realm, to compete with the heavens!
"Roar!
Roar! Roar! "Just as Sima Lingxuan's strong confidence spread into the sky above Dragon Sealing City, a boundless strong wind blew, a resonant dragon roar suddenly came from the four hundred dragon pillars.
That dragon roar resounded everywhere. As the sound waves spread out, they scattered the strong wind that Sima Lingxuan's aura gathered.
A huge golden dragon soared into the sky. Although that golden dragon was smaller than Sima Lingxuan's golden dragon, its aura clashed with Sima Lingxuan's, not giving way at all.
The golden dragon clashed with the other party's king's aura and soared into the clouds.
Xuanyuan Zhantian stood on the stone pillar, wearing purple flood dragon robes and a purple cloak on his back. He held a halberd in his hand.
When Xuanyuan Zhantian saw Sima Lingxuan looking at him in shock, he revealed a flirtatious expression on his unruly face.
He did not show any fear just because Sima Lingxuan had just defeated Bai Qi.
The golden dragon above Xuanyuan Zhantian chased relentlessly and caught up to the huge dragon's speed. Then, they advanced side by side, tearing through the thick dark clouds.
"What's going on? Unexpectedly, there is a little dragon that dares to compete with the big dragon. What's going on?"
"Such a situation has never happened in Dragon Sealing City before. Unexpectedly, a little dragon does not fear the King Dragon at all."
In the ring-shaped mountain range, among the towering peaks, the calm cultivators on the towers all had panicked expressions at this moment.
"That's impossible. It is impossible for such a situation to happen. The King Dragon is a True Dragon. How could the other little dragons dare to compete with it at this moment?" a Sima Clan elder shouted.
Sima Lingxuan was the hope of their Sima Clan to become the number one Noble Clan in the world. They had to obtain great Luck in this great age.
The Sima Clan could not allow any accidents to happen. At this moment, they were the most nervous.
Just as everyone was exclaiming that this was impossible, a rather old man snorted coldly, "What is impossible about it? Naturally, it is a true dragon that can compete with a great dragon. It is just two dragons fighting. In the past, Dragon Sealing City has seen the magnificent feat of nine dragons competing with each other."
