The First Elder, Jiang Chi, asked, "Xiao Chen, how is your practice of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique's final move, Divine Lightning Tribulation?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying, "I do not dare to compare myself to the ancestor. However, I can still easily bring out seventy to eighty percent of its might."
Jiang Chi smiled and nodded. Then, he said with some regret, "The Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique was created by our sect's ancestor. If you could comprehend the state of wind, the state of cloud, and the state of thunder, you might be able to compete with this Bai Qi.
"Ha ha! However, it is fine. Being able to enter the top ten is the best result the Heavenly Saber Pavilion has achieved in the past few thousand years. Xiao Chen, don't be too depressed."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand. He did not say anything.
"Match fifty: Sima Lingxuan versus Gong Yangyu!"
This was the ninety-second round of the Five Nation Youth Competition. This match was the final match of the day. The two participants from the previous Five Nation Youth Competition would fight each other. This made everyone somewhat excited.
"Gong Yangyu is pretty strong. His golden dragon is twenty-three meters long. He has only lost three matches in the ranking matches. Even if he loses this match, he still has a high chance of getting into the top ten."
"I wonder how much of Sima Lingxuan's strength he can force out? Sima Lingxuan has been winning too easily."
"Indeed. Just his oppressive self-confidence is enough to make one feel suffocated. How can one have the confidence to fight him?"
Without a doubt, everyone could predict the result of this match. The only thing they were uncertain of was how much of Sima Lingxuan's strength Gong Yangyu could force out.
After all, no matter what, Gong Yangyu's strength was clear for all to see.
This was especially so for that Tossing Heaven and Earth. It could even shatter space. Several giants did not dare to receive it head-on. How would Sima Lingxuan deal with this move?
In the Wind Cloud Platform, Sima Lingxuan wore long robes. There was not much expression on his handsome face. The self-confidence in his chest seemed to be one with the world.
When one looked at him, there seemed to be a faint glow on his body. It flickered constantly. With one glance, one could tell that he was extraordinary.
Under the pressure of Sima Lingxuan's confidence, Gong Yangyu took a deep breath and expelled the negative thoughts in his heart. Without saying anything more, he swung his black staff around and walked towards Sima Lingxuan.
One step, two steps, three steps … seven steps!
With every step Gong Yangyu took, an afterimage would appear on the ground. Each afterimage held the staff in a different posture. By the time Gong Yangyu finished taking seven steps, his aura had already reached its peak.
The pressure that Sima Lingxuan gave Xiao Chen earlier was swept away. His gaze turned sharp as he swung his staff around like a dragon or snake dancing in the wind.
This was Gong Yangyu's specialty, Everlasting Universe. By combining seven ultimate attacks, he could suppress his opponent with absolute offensive power.
Back then, even Xiao Chen didn't face this move head-on because its power was too great, and it wasn't worth it to face it head-on.
Sima Lingxuan's expression remained calm as he looked at the staff strike that could shatter mountains. Then, he took a step forward.
One step. Just one step, and the situation on the field was immediately turned around.
A boundless strong wind blew from Sima Lingxuan. The clouds in the sky churned endlessly. As the wind blew and the clouds churned, a vast state of kingship erupted from Sima Lingxuan's body and soared into the sky.
Tyrannical, supreme, undefeatable, absolute — all sorts of auras of kingship came from Sima Lingxuan's body. Unexpectedly, the state he comprehended was the state of kingship.
As the saying went, "Everything under the heavens belongs to the king." Unexpectedly, Sima Lingxuan made this state of kingship his main state.
After Gong Yangyu took seven steps, the momentum of heaven and earth that he gathered was immediately suppressed by Sima Lingxuan's one gentle step.
"Ka ca!"
Sima Lingxuan grasped his sword hilt with his right hand and drew it. Riding on this momentum of kingship, he displayed his sharpness wantonly, giving off an undefeatable aura that could sweep through the world.
The sword and staff clashed, and countless cracks immediately appeared on the Wind Cloud Platform under the two. The two strong forces clashed continuously. Gong Yangyu clenched his teeth and endured. Unexpectedly, he did not retreat immediately.
"Weng!
Weng! Weng! "The tip of Sima Lingxuan's sword trembled and a vast sword intent poured out. The might of this sword increased explosively. Gong Yangyu was instantly no match for it. He took nine steps back and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"Sovereign Descending!"
Sima Lingxuan shouted and took another step forward. The vast state of kingship was like an ancient mountain pressing down on Xiao Chen.
When Sima Lingxuan swung his sword, it was like a sovereign descending. The surrounding wind-attributed Essence quickly surged towards the tip of the sword like it was paying homage to the king.
With the boundless strong wind pouring in, this sword was unimaginably fast. Gong Yangyu could only rely on his senses to block with his staff across his chest.
"Bang!"
Gong Yangyu had just made his move and had yet to infuse his Essence into a defensive stance when the sword struck his staff, splitting it in half.
When the sword wind blew, Gong Yangyu flew backward like a broken kite. He crashed into the Wind Cloud Barrier and bounced heavily before landing on the ground.
Gong Yangyu knelt on one knee. Under his tattered clothes, horrifying sword wounds spread all over his chest. The sword intent hidden in the wounds had not faded yet. His wounds seemed to be growing more severe.
Gong Yangyu knew that he had lost. He had barely managed to block two moves. The difference was too great. He smiled bitterly to himself. He did not know if there was anyone who could defeat him in this Five Nation Youth Competition.
"My skills are inferior. Gong Yangyu admits defeat." Gong Yangyu stood up and chose to admit defeat.
Sima Lingxuan sheathed his sword. After the golden dragon above his head swallowed for a while, it grew to eight and seven inches long. Now, it was less than half an inch long and would be twenty-three meters long.
"This is probably Sima Lingxuan's true strength. Unexpectedly, he comprehended the state of kingship from the state of wind and cloud, which is higher than any other attributed state."
"Compared to three years ago, Sima Lingxuan's strength has increased at a horrifying rate."
"I finally know why he is not afraid of the Four Season Saber Technique. When he executes a powerful Sword Technique with the state of kingship, it is sufficient to resist the power of the cycle of seasons."
"However, we will only know what will happen after they fight. The two of them have not used their full strength yet. The battle between the giants tomorrow will definitely be interesting to watch."
"However, I still favor Sima Lingxuan. He has only revealed the tip of the iceberg. Bai Qi has revealed at least sixty percent of his strength."
In the final match of this round, Sima Lingxuan finally revealed the absolute strength of the top seeded participant. Gong Yangyu, who was ranked in the top ten of the previous Five Nation Youth Competition, lost to Sima Lingxuan in two moves, unable to resist at all.
Li Tianhua looked at the golden dragon above Sima Lingxuan's head and shook his head. He smiled bitterly and said, "It is truly a tragedy to be in the same generation as him. It seems like all the stars in the sky are on his head. We are just supporting characters."
Xuanyuan Zhantian's unruly face revealed a grave expression. After a while, he smiled gently and said, "The state of kingship is really coincidental."
The ninety-two rounds of matches were already over, but the eight giants had not fought yet. In that case, in the final eight rounds tomorrow, the eight of them would have to fight each other.
From the start of the ranking matches until now, the eight giants had not lost a single match. Sima Lingxuan, Li Tianhua, Bai Qi, Wang Quan, Chu Chaoyun, Xuanyuan Zhantian, Yue Chenxi, and Xiao Chen were tied for first place.
However, since ancient times, there had been no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. How could there be a situation where eight people were first?
In the battle between the giants tomorrow, there would definitely be a victor and a loser among the eight. The True Dragon Ranking would also be decided. Who could rank first and obtain the Luck of the world, becoming the main character of this era?
Before the sun set tomorrow, everything would come to an end. The age of geniuses would officially begin at that moment.
The long night finally passed amidst the cheers of the crowd.
The Wind Cloud Platform was packed with people; their voices were loud. Before the matches started, the atmosphere had already heated up. Everyone was waiting for the moment when the giants would fight.
They were waiting for the moment when the true heroes reached the peak. They wanted to see who was the main character of this era.
"First match: Liu Xiaoyun versus Lin Fei."
The first match of the ninety-third round officially started. However, it was not the anticipated match between the giants, which disappointed everyone.
However, the two people in the Wind Cloud Platform were experts of their own domains. Their matches would not be boring.
When facing the genius bladesman Lin Fei, Liu Xiaoyun did not get careless. He would not make the same mistake as he did against Chu Chaoyun. He used his full power from the start.
A cold wind howled, and frost instantly covered the Wind Cloud Platform. As Liu Xiaoyun sent out his sword intent, snowflakes drifted down. The various powerful techniques of the Drifting Snow Sword Sect were perfectly executed in Liu Xiaoyun's hands.
At this moment, Lin Fei was much more mature than when he first started the Five Nation Youth Competition. There was no longer any arrogance in Lin Fei's eyes. Instead, there was only seriousness and caution; he was clearly enduring. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
Saber lights shot out everywhere, and sword images filled the air. Sword Qi and saber Qi moved about wantonly. The strength that the two displayed was equal. In terms of saber intent and sword intent, they did not give way to each other.
However, Liu Xiaoyun's state of ice was stronger than Lin Fei's state of earth. Based on the current situation, Liu Xiaoyun held a slight advantage.
However, this was only temporary. Everyone knew that Lin Fei still had not used the Earth Vein Saber Technique.
If Liu Xiaoyun could block that unpredictable Earth Vein Saber Technique, he would be confident of obtaining victory. If he could not block it, the victor would be hard to predict.
"Xiu!"
As the saber hummed, Lin Fei, who had been silent for a long time, finally found the most suitable opportunity to execute the Earth Vein Saber Technique.
A strand of cold saber Qi exploded the ice on the ground and quickly headed for Liu Xiaoyun's chest.
Liu Xiaoyun smiled gently, not flustered at all. He said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Absolute Ice Shadow Sword!"
The surrounding temperature plummeted. Liu Xiaoyun's upper body trembled. Before everyone's shocked gazes, he split into two. Two strands of sword light flickered.
One blocked the attack from Lin Fei's main body while the other blocked the saber Qi shooting out from the ground. When the two figures merged back together, Lin Fei's eyes widened. When the two figures merged back together, a cold chill turned into a snow-white sword Qi and shot out from the sword, forcing Lin Fei back.
With the Earth Vein Saber Technique broken, Lin Fei could not gain the upper hand with his saber intent. His state was also slightly weaker. After a hundred moves, Lin Fei could only helplessly admit defeat.
Liu Xiaoyun sheathed his sword and said softly, "Thank you for letting me win!"
This battle had proven Liu Xiaoyun's reputation. His miserable defeat at the hands of Chu Chaoyun was not because he was weak or because the disparity was too great. It was because he had been careless.
