Xue Yan's cultivation was at the peak of the second level of the Astral Realm. His medium-grade spirit martial art, Raging Flame Palm, had already been cultivated to small success.
At this moment, Xue Yan was using the Flame Astral Aspect. Endless flame star force fell down, causing the might of the Raging Flame Palm to multiply.
Flame palms filled with strength and carried with them an incomparably hot aura. Before the astral palms arrived, the fierce wind was like a wave that rushed forwards.
In an instant, layers upon layers of flame palms ruthlessly collided with Ye Xing's spear finger!
In the eyes of the martial artists present, Ye Xing was only a half-step True Sage; the difference between him and Xue Yan was too great. But Xue Yan's martial attainments, comprehension of the world's aura, and astral essence were far superior to Ye Xing's. Without using the Astral Aspect, it was impossible for Ye Xing to be Xue Yan's match!
In this exchange, Xue Yan would definitely have the advantage and Ye Xing would suffer a loss!
However, the reality was beyond the expectations of the martial artists present!
How could they have known that Ye Xing's move contained the world's aura of three different worlds? It was inconceivably powerful!
Normally, only a high level Astral Realm martial artist could reach the Minute Subtlety of the world. To reach the Minute Subtlety of three different worlds wasn't easy at all.
Only the nine High Masters in the pavilion were moved at this moment. They had all comprehended at least one of the Minute Subtlety of the world's aura, and could feel the Minute Subtlety of Ye Xing's move.
Peng peng peng peng peng …
With a series of explosive sounds, the Black Dragon Spear thrust forwards with unstoppable momentum. All of the flame palms were shattered!
The spear point flashed with a cold light. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Xue Yan's throat.
Xue Yan was shocked, revealing a look of horror. His body shot backwards like an arrow.
However, Ye Xing wasn't any slower than Xue Yan. He took a step forwards, the Black Dragon Spear thrusting towards Xue Yan's throat. Xue Yan simply had no time to dodge; he could only retreat.
In a single breath of time, Xue Yan had already retreated to the edge of the martial arena.
Bang!
A light shield of array formation appeared, and Xue Yan slammed heavily into the light shield. His body immediately stopped.
Whoosh!
A cold light flashed. The Black Dragon Spear's spear point also paused at this moment. The spear point pressed against Xue Yan's throat. That sharp aura made Xue Yan feel as if a needle was stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Hiss — —
Gasps could be heard all around the fighting arena!
Ye Xing was able to control the tip of the spear to pierce Xue Yan's throat, leaving Xue Yan no time to dodge to the side. This was enough to prove that this was not Ye Xing's maximum speed!
If Ye Xing was moving at top speed, he definitely wouldn't be able to control it as he wished. If he stopped at any moment, the slightest mistake would result in this spear piercing through Xue Yan's throat. Unless he had a top-grade healing pill like the Resurrection Pill to save him, if his throat was pierced through, he would undoubtedly die!
Furthermore, Xue Yan was a Fire Cloud Sect disciple. If Ye Xing were to kill Xue Yan in front of everyone, he would definitely be killed by the Fire Cloud Sect!
It could be said that Ye Xing had kept the tip of his spear close to Xue Yan's throat while moving at high speed. Both of their lives were hanging by a thread. If there was even the slightest mistake, both of them would die!
If Ye Xing wasn't 100% confident, he absolutely wouldn't have dared to do this.
From this, it could be seen that Ye Xing had defeated Xue Yan in a state where he hadn't used his astrology; he hadn't revealed the limits of his strength.
"Grand potential of wind, minute!"
"Grand potential of fire, minute!"
In the pavilion, several Esteemed Masters spoke out, their voices filled with shock!
With a half-step True Master cultivation, Lin Ming had actually comprehended two different grand potentials of the world. This left the nine Esteemed Masters shocked.
The grand potential of wind and the grand potential of fire were two of the most common grand potentials of the world that a martial artist comprehended. Of the nine Esteemed Masters, some had already comprehended the grand potential of wind and some had already comprehended the grand potential of fire. Thus, they were able to see the boundary of Ye Xing's two grand potentials of wind and fire.
However, the grand potential of darkness was an extremely rare grand potential of the world. None of the nine Esteemed Masters had comprehended the grand potential of darkness, thus they weren't able to see through Ye Xing's attainments in it.
Ye Xing's grand potential of wind and fire had already shocked the nine Esteemed Masters. If they were to know that Ye Xing had already comprehended three grand potentials of the world, who knew what they would think!
In the martial arena, Xue Yan broke out in a cold sweat. As he looked at Ye Xing, his eyes revealed a look of fear.
The Black Dragon Spear was a high-grade spirit artifact. As long as Ye Xing thrust forwards, Xue Yan's life would be taken.
Although Xue Yan knew that Ye Xing wouldn't dare to kill him in front of everyone, with the Black Dragon Spear pressed against his throat, Xue Yan still felt an instinctive sense of dread and fear.
Ye Xing lightly said, "You don't want to admit defeat?"
Xue Yan drew back, sticking close to the light barrier of the array formation. He quickly said, "I admit defeat! I admit defeat! "
Ye Xing put away the Black Dragon Spear and turned to leave.
There was no joy on his face. Defeating Xue Yan was within his expectations. The difficulties of advancing to the top four had only just begun.
The opponents he would face next were either Yang Gang, Shi Wenxie, or Mu Shaoyue. Amongst the Three Star Daoists, all of them were extremely strong.
Even though Ye Xing hadn't revealed his complete strength, Ye Xing was well aware that even if he went all-out, without using his hidden cards like the Sagittarius Constellation and the Black Hole Constellation, it was nearly impossible for him to defeat Yang Gang, Shi Wenxie, or Mu Shaoyue.
In the following battles, no matter who he faced, he was likely to lose.
And Ye Xing's goal was the Rebirth Pill. Only by obtaining first place would he be able to obtain it. This meant that he would have to fight against Yang Gang, Shi Wenxie, or Mu Shaoyue and obtain consecutive victories in order to obtain first place.
The chances of this were nearly zero. Ye Xing certainly wasn't happy about this.
"This Young Hero Assembly is truly unexpected. Rising stars are popping up one after another!"
"That's right. Before the competition began, who would have thought that the two Three Star Daoists, Meng Zhi and Bai Cang, would be eliminated from the top three!"
"Of the top four, besides Yang Gang who is ranked first on the Earth Profound Decree, Shi Wenxie, Mu Shaoyue, and Ye Xing have all come from behind. Each of them is younger than the last!"
"In the next round of the top four, two more will be eliminated. I wonder who will be eliminated. I really don't understand it now!"
"Although Ye Xing's combat power is heaven-defying, entering the top four is already the limit. The other three are all Three Star Daoists with extremely strong strength. Ye Xing will definitely be eliminated. As for who else will be eliminated, it's really hard to say!"
"I feel that other than Yang Gang, the other three have the possibility of being eliminated. After all, Yang Gang's cultivation is at the peak of the Third Star Realm. No one should be able to shake his first place position!"
"That's hard to say. Shi Wenxie has the ability to challenge those of a higher cultivation level. His terrifying strength has not been revealed yet. Yang Gang might not be able to defeat him!"
"Mu Shaoyue defeated Bai Cang with only one strike. His strength is also terrifying. Yang Gang might not be able to defeat Bai Cang with one strike, right?"
"In a battle between experts, it's not rare to win with one strike. It doesn't necessarily depend on the difference in strength between the two. As a swordsman, Mu Shaoyue's attack power is very strong. It's not impossible for him to defeat an opponent who is slightly weaker than him in one strike with one strike."
"It seems that other than Ye Xing who will be eliminated in the next round, no one can say for sure about the other three. We will only know the results after the competition!"
…
After the top four were decided, the martial artists were shocked by Ye Xing's victory. They immediately began to discuss the next round of the competition.
Among the top four, Shi Wenxie and Mu Shaoyue were the most outstanding in terms of defeating their opponents. Both of them had advanced to the top four by defeating Three Star Daoists.
Yang Gang had defeated Nan Xinyue and advanced to the top four. This was within everyone's expectations. However, no one doubted Yang Gang's strength. This was because he had been a Three Star Daoist for more than a year and had been ranked first on the Earth Profound Decree for two years.
Although Ye Xing's defeat of Xue Yan had shocked the martial artists, objectively speaking, the one with the worst strength was Ye Xing.
Therefore, for the next round of the competition, almost all the martial artists unanimously believed that Ye Xing would be eliminated. As for the other three, it was difficult to determine!
The competition for the top two was not carried out in a hurry. Instead, the four juniors who had been eliminated in this round had a competition for fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth place.
The rewards for fifth and eighth place were different. Naturally, they would have to compete to determine the rewards.
After several battles, the rankings were decided. The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth place were Meng Zhi, Bai Cang, Xue Yan, and Nan Xinyue!
After the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth places were decided, the competition for the top two began. The referee announced the list of matches:
First match: Yang Gang versus Mu Shaoyue! Second match: Ye Xing versus Shi Wenxie!
