In the arena, Tian Yi sat there with one hand propping up his chin. His eyes were empty, but no one knew what he was thinking about.
Below the arena, people from all walks of life had already crowded the place. Even Governor Devitt was hidden among the crowd. The Governor from two generations ago, who was also the current Head of the Sword Arts Department, James, stood next to him and said, "Was this the lad who spied on the Governor that night?"
"That's him." Governor Devitt took a long look at Tian Yi and said, "Although this person has yet to step into the Demigod level, his martial will is so powerful that it is unprecedented. Even ordinary Demigods probably do not have martial wills as strong as his."
Head of Department James looked at Tian Yi, who was on the stage, and felt a strong sense of confidence gushing forth. It was as if no matter where Tian Yi stood, he would have an extremely strong sense of existence. It was as if he was the center of the entire world, or even the entire universe, at all times.
Head of Department James had never felt such a strong feeling from anyone before.
"This guy is probably really Xingjian's opponent." James frowned and said, "What did His Second Highness say?"
Governor Devitt said, "His Highness said that this person has a mysterious background and that the martial techniques he cultivates are beyond the norm. He asked us not to go head-on against him for now."
Hildebrand, who was originally ranked third in the academy, had been in a daze ever since he returned to the Great Western City. Even when he was challenged and defeated by Tian Yi, he did not reveal any special expression.
However, he had especially come to watch the battle between Tian Yi and Fang Xingjian today.
"Fang Xingjian's sword arts are probably the best under the Divine level," Hildebrand said with a sigh. "I wonder how many moves Tian Yi can take."
Just then, Hoult darted out from the side, looked at Hildebrand, and said, "That might not be the case."
"Hoult?" Looking at Hoult's mysterious expression, Hildebrand felt a little curious. "You're very familiar with this Tian Yi?"
Hoult smiled and looked at Tian Yi, his eyes filled with admiration. "I've also seen Fang Xingjian's sword technique and had wanted to catch up to him. However, ever since I found out that he had defeated The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, I know that this person is a genius born to be. He'll become a tyrant in the future, and I'll probably never be able to catch up to him in this lifetime. "But after getting to know Tian Yi, I finally understand what it means to be a genius among geniuses. Even Fang Xingjian will only be a tyrant in the future, while Tian Yi's talent can be said to be a martial arts legend. In the future, he will probably be able to dominate the world and be an existence who can move unhindered in the world."
Looking at the fervent gaze in Hoult's eyes, Hildebrand rubbed his nose, shook his head, and said, "Hoult, you're exaggerating. Fang Xingjian's abilities aren't something you can imagine."
Neither of them believed what the other said. They shook their heads and focused their attention on the stage.
On the other side of the arena, Lilia looked coldly at Tian Yi and let out a cold snort, "To think that a clown would dare to challenge Master."
Standing next to her was Kirst's City Lord, who had rushed over to visit Lilia. He stood next to his daughter, sensing her unceasingly fluctuating consciousness. It was as if she would step into a brand new realm at any moment.
Kirst's City Lord asked in surprise, "Lili, you're about to attain Heaven's Perception?"
"It's all thanks to Master's guidance." Speaking of her Master, Lilia's heart was filled with respect. "Master's abilities have already reached an unbelievable level. If he were to come today, he'd probably be able to deal with Tian Yi with a single move."
However, Kirst's City Lord was a little doubtful. No matter how powerful Fang Xingjian was, Tian Yi was not someone to be underestimated. To say that he would be able to deal with Tian Yi with a single move... That was too arrogant.
However, looking at the look of respect on his daughter's face, he was not willing to rebut or argue with her. He was only thinking of how to persuade Lilia. He instinctively felt that it was not a good thing for his daughter to worship a man like this.
Countless people below the arena were whispering to each other. However, Fang Xingjian had the battle record of defeating the Supreme Chief. Although Tian Yi had appeared out of nowhere, the opponents he had defeated were naturally far from being comparable to the Supreme Chief.
Therefore, most people thought highly of Fang Xingjian, especially those from the martial arts factions who had been defeated by Tian Yi. Right now, they were looking at Tian Yi with gloating gazes.
Just then, Tian Yi suddenly stood up, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
"So that's how it is... So that's how it is...
"I understand now..."
As he murmured to himself, he laughed out maniacally at the next moment, "I, Tian Yi... am really the strongest!"
The next moment, the martial will that represented Tian Yi radiated out in all directions with his body as the center.
There was clearly no wind, no flow of air, and no explosions.
However, everyone felt as if a tempest had suddenly appeared. The tempest gushed forth, seeming to want to blow their bodies apart and tear their consciousness apart.
After this tempest passed, everyone discovered to their surprise that they were no longer able to control their bodies.
Within a range of 1,000 meters, everyone's consciousness was suppressed by Tian Yi, and their physical bodies were taken over by Tian Yi.
This was the case even for Governor Devitt and Head of Department James.
At the next moment, everyone made the exact same actions and smiles. Tian Yi had taken complete control of their physical bodies.
"Everyone strives for justice. To kill a person, one must first kill a god. You're all blind and mediocre people. You don't understand at all..."
Everyone's faces revealed the same ecstasy and excitement. It was the ecstasy and excitement that Tian Yi felt after attaining yet another breakthrough in his Stalwart Eidolon Conviction.
After Tian Yi had swept through the Great Western City and obtained a portion of the Divine level profoundness, he had a deeper understanding of himself as the top in the world. He attained another breakthrough, causing his martial will to become unbelievably powerful. He could even seize the physical bodies of everyone within a range of 1,000 meters with a single thought.
"... You guys don't understand at all. The will is the most important, and the physical body is just a tool. "As long as I'm willing, my spirit can continue to live on. Even if I don't have a physical body, even if I'm dismembered into a million pieces, as long as my spirit and my will still exist, I'll be able to continue living on. I can even seize the physical bodies of others as I wish. "No matter how powerful everything else is, it's just a bunch of external objects."
At the next moment, everyone felt as if their bodies had returned to their control.
However, no one said a word, nor did anyone move. Everyone looked at Tian Yi in great terror, imagining the technique he had performed earlier. They only felt endless terror in their hearts.
"Such a marvelous technique..." Governor Devitt's countenance was extremely grim. However, he kept on recalling the process of his body being controlled earlier, not knowing how Tian Yi had managed to do it.
Hildebrand looked at Tian Yi in a daze. Behind him, Holt sighed and said, "Did you see that? This is Tian Yi. His talent is something I've never seen before. Compared to Fang Xingjian's talent in sword arts, what Tian Yi has comprehended is the true Great Way of Heaven and Man. It's a path to the Divine level that no one has ever taken before."
The countenances of Lilia, Kirst's City Lord, and Head of Department James all changed drastically. They looked at Tian Yi as if they were looking at a monster.
This was the scene that Zhou Xingwen saw after arriving. He frowned, but did not care too much about it. He held onto Fang Xingjian's letter and slowly entered the venue under everyone's astonished gazes, heading in Tian Yi's direction.
