He knew that the Luo Clan's bloodline talent was related to the power of space. As the little princess of the Luo Clan, Ruoxin wielded the Dimension Silencer, making her a formidable foe.
As for the Zhang family, Zhang Jiuxiao's bloodline was too thin, so he was unable to tap into the power of his bloodline. As such, he had no idea what his bloodline talent was. Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that it was related to the power of time!
Spacetime was the foundation of the universe.
For time to be at the forefront, it was apparent just how fearsome it was.
It was no wonder Zhang Jiuxiao was able to dodge Zhang Jiuxiao's attack even though he had reacted in time. It turned out that when Zhang Jiuxiao ignited his bloodline and threw out a punch, his perception of time had changed. From the looks of it, it was no different from teleportation.
In a battle between experts, the difference in time was only a hair's breadth. To be able to shorten the time gap by even a hundredth of a breath was already frightening!
It was no wonder the Sage Zhang family was able to become the number one clan on the Master Teacher Continent. It turned out that they possessed such a fearsome bloodline ability!
However, burning his bloodline and utilizing the power of time is extremely taxing on him. After missing two blows, it's likely that he won't be able to continue …
At the same time, Zhang Jiuxiao was also calculating.
Having cultivated the Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel, he was well aware of the power that exceeded one's cultivation. Using it once was equivalent to exhausting one's life force and potential.
Take Zhang Qian for example. After executing two punches, his body was already wobbling unsteadily, and it seemed like he would collapse at any moment.
It's fortunate that I have the Eye of Insight. Otherwise, even if I didn't die from those two blows, I would have been severely injured …
Realizing what was going on, Zhang Jiuxiao's back was drenched in cold sweat.
If not for the Eye of Insight allowing him to discern the trajectory of Zhang Jiuxiao's punches and react in time, he would have surely been severely injured.
"Lie down!"
While Zhang Jiuxiao was deep in thought, Zhang Qian roared furiously and charged at him once more.
"He won't be able to sustain this for long. As long as I avoid his attacks and distance myself from him, it shouldn't be too difficult to defeat him!"
Understanding the peculiarity of Zhang Jiuxiao's moves, Zhang Jiuxiao swiftly came up with a countermeasure.
Even if he could shorten the time gap, it would only be effective in close-range battles.
Zhang Jiuxiao's attacks were effective.
Hu!
Executing the Unbounded Voyager, Zhang Jiuxiao teleported to the other side of the dueling ring.
Padah!
Zhang Jiuxiao, Zhang Jiuxiao, Zhang Jiuxiao's attack Zhang Jiuxiao, Zhang Jiuxiao was's Zhang Jiuxiao, Zhang Jiuxiao to Zhang Jiuxiao Jiuxiao's.
"it" this moment!! "
Knowing that this was an opportunity, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows and pointed his finger forward.
Wu Wu Wu Wu!
Four surges of sword qi flew out in a straight line. In the blink of an eye, they crossed the distance of the stage and arrived before Zhang Qian.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
The Sword Qi was like a waterfall, directly piercing through the latter's feet and palms, nailing him to the platform.
"Hu!"
After doing this, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that Chen Leyao had reminded him of the situation, or else he would have admitted defeat by now even if he wasn't severely injured.
"You lost …"
Zhang Xuan landed on the ground with his hands behind his back.
"I …"
Zhang Qian was just about to say something when his vision suddenly darkened, and he fainted.
Burning his bloodline took too much of a toll on him.
Initially, he thought that he could use this opportunity to replace Zhang Xuan as a student of the Elite Division, but from the looks of it now, he was still too naive.
Although this fellow's cultivation was not high, his battle prowess was terrifyingly strong.
After exhausting all of his stamina and being stabbed in the limbs, he couldn't take it anymore.
Hu!
A gentle breeze blew, and a figure appeared on the stage. It was Zhang Yunfeng, who had sent a telepathic message to Zhang Qian earlier. Lowering his head to look at Zhang Qian, he noted that the Sword Qi had avoided his vitals and wasn't too severely injured. Heaving a sigh of relief, he gestured to the crowd below.
Zhang Yu hurriedly went up the stage and fed the Young Master a pill before bringing him down.
"You aren't too bad!"
Only then did Zhang Yunfeng turn around with an impassive face.
"To guide Zhang Qian through telepathy and control him to fight with me … You aren't too bad yourself!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
"Guide him through telepathy?"
"Isn't that considered breaking the rules?"
"The Zhang clan sure is scheming!"
"That's too much! They are clearly bullying him!"
A huge commotion broke out beneath the stage.
In order to secure a slot in the Challenge Tournament, the most important requirement was to be fair. It was one thing for Zhang Qian to burn his bloodline, but to think that there would be someone guiding him from below the stage.
"Do you dare to have a match with me?"
Not expecting the young man before him to be able to see through his little trick and point it out, Zhang Yunfeng's impassive face immediately darkened.
"I'm more than happy to oblige!"
Zhang Xuan glanced at Zhang Yunfeng.
He was already displeased with how the other party had resorted to underhanded means behind his back. Since the other party had delivered himself to him, he didn't mind teaching the other party a lesson.
"Very well!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had agreed to the duel, Zhang Yunfeng chuckled softly. He didn't move at all, but in an instant, his body seemed to have grown taller. His aura burst forth, seemingly intending to tear apart the seal around the dueling ring.
Weng!
In the next instant, a faint halo with a diameter of roughly five meters appeared around him.
Within the halo, Zhang Yunfeng looked like an invincible deity.
"A true Dominion?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
This was the first time he had seen a Grand Dominion realm expert executing a Dominion. Not only was the area of effect larger than his, the strength behind it was also much more profound.
"The higher one's cultivation realm is, the greater the gap between one's strength. The chances of one being able to challenge a Saint realm expert with a cultivation realm surpassing one's cultivation will also decrease. That Zhang Xuan probably won't be a match for him!"
Elder Han Zhu said with a frown.
From Leaving Aperture realm onward, the gap between Saint realm experts would only grow larger and larger. Usually, a small cultivation realm could result in a difference of several times in terms of fighting prowess.
This was also the reason why Zhang Xuan was able to defeat opponents who were eight to nine cultivation realms higher than him when he was still at Transcendent Mortal realm. However, at Primordial Spirit realm, it would be difficult for him to defeat four to five cultivation realms higher.
It wasn't that his fighting prowess had dropped, but that the gap was simply too huge.
It was just like the difference between 1 and 2, or the difference between a hundred million and two hundred million, but the difference between the integers was unfathomable.
This was the case for the gap between Primordial Spirit realm and Grand Dominion realm. There was a gap of four lightning tribulations in between.
It was already surprising that Zhang Xuan was able to defeat the Half-Grand Dominion realm Zhang Qian, but to face a Grand Dominion realm primary stage genius of the Zhang clan … there was no doubt that he would lose.
"Based on the battle earlier, he won't be a match for Zhang Qian!"
Elder Liu nodded.
As a Saint 8-dan master teacher, he possessed a sharp eye of discernment. He had seen Zhang Xuan's attack earlier, so he was able to deduce Zhang Xuan's strength.
He might still be able to defeat an ordinary Grand Dominion realm primary stage cultivator, but against a genius of the Zhang clan … there was a 99% chance that he would lose.
"Then …"
Elder Han Zhu was taken aback.
Since Zhang Xuan knew that he was going to lose, why would he allow them to fight?
"Geniuses have their own pride. Even if we were to persuade him to stop today, he'll find another reason to continue the fight another day. Since that's the case, the other members of the Zhang clan won't have any reason to cause trouble for us in the future!"
Elder Liu said with a smile. "More importantly, I would like to see just how much potential Zhang Xuan has!"
If they didn't resolve the matter today, the Zhang clan would find another reason to cause trouble for Zhang Xuan. Most likely, Zhang Xuan had seen through this as well, which was why he agreed to the duel without any hesitation.
"Alright then."
Seeing that Elder Liu had a plan in mind, Elder Han Zhu nodded before falling silent.
In any case, if anything were to happen in a duel of this level, he would be able to stop it immediately.
"Please!"
While they were speaking, Zhang Yunfeng had already finished his preparations. He raised his palm and looked at Zhang Xuan.
Knowing how fearsome the other party was, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and executed the Heavenly Demon Great Sorrow Palm with a flick of his left hand. At the same time, he tapped forward with his right hand.
Grand Constellation Finger!
Executing two Saint intermediate-tier battle techniques simultaneously, Zhang Xuan exerted his full strength right from the start.
Hu!
Zhang Yunfeng chuckled softly upon seeing the two incoming attacks. Instead of dodging, he walked straight toward Zhang Xuan.
Weng!
As soon as the palm strike and finger strike came into contact with Zhang Xuan's Dominion, it was as if a bullet that had been struck by a stream of water. It was deflected, not affecting Zhang Xuan in the slightest.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.
As expected of a Grand Dominion realm expert from the Sage Zhang clan, the other party was even more fearsome than he had thought!
"Stop right there!"
Zhang Xuan bellowed once more. Palm strikes, fist strikes, finger strikes, and all kinds of other attacks burst forth from his body, filling the dueling ring with zhenqi in the blink of an eye.
Boom boom boom!
Zhang Xuan's rapid attacks caused the air around him to explode.
Even if Zhang Qian had burned his bloodline earlier, he would have been unable to withstand the might of Zhang Xuan's attacks.
However, Zhang Yunfeng chuckled softly as he waved his hand lightly.
Hula!
Under the might of Zhang Xuan's Dominion, Zhang Xuan managed to deflect all of Zhang Xuan's attacks with ease. They swiftly circled around Zhang Xuan and crashed into the seal around him.
"Even that is fine?"
Zhang Xuan felt as if his head was going to explode.
That was way too powerful!
He thought that he would be able to breach Zhang Xuan's defenses after so many consecutive attacks, but who could have thought that he would be completely fine?
Could it be that he was no match for Zhang Xuan if he didn't use a weapon?
"Since you're done, it's my turn now!"
Zhang Yunfeng chuckled softly as he tapped his finger forward.
Tzla!
A pure pillar of light suddenly burst forth.
"Hmm?"
Accelerated by Zhang Xuan's Dominion, the pillar of light appeared right before him in the blink of an eye. Unable to dodge in time, Zhang Xuan could only raise his palm to face it head-on.
Tzzzzzzzz!
The immense force struck Zhang Xuan's palm, and as if a comet had struck his body, he was immediately sent flying backward, creating a massive crater in the ground.
Hu!
It took some effort for Zhang Xuan to regain his balance, but he felt his aura churning furiously. His palm felt as if it had been scalded, leaving him with an indescribable pain.
"That's the might of a single finger?"
Zhang Xuan gulped.
Even though he had managed to fend off the attack, the might of the attack was simply too great. If this were to continue, he would be the one to lose.
"To be able to withstand an attack from me, you do have some capabilities!"
Zhang Yunfeng raised his palm, intending to launch another attack when the young man before him suddenly raised his hand.
"Why? Are you going to admit defeat? "
Zhang Xuan asked.
"I'm not admitting defeat. I just want to ask … can you give me ten breaths of time?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Ten breaths of time?" Zhang Yunfeng sneered.
"Given my current strength … I'm not a match for you. So, I would like to use ten breaths to sort out my thoughts."
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. "While I'm at it, I'll make a breakthrough!"
(Zhang Xuan: It's already the end of the month, so I'd like to ask for a few more monthly votes. It would be a waste if I don't vote for you. Also, I'd like to recommend the author's old book, 《Boundless Dantian》. It's really good. If I don't read it, the author threatened to kill me … I still want to live a little longer so that I can continue to show off …)
