"Destroy!"
"What? When did he … "Zhang Jicheng turned pale with fright. He did not even have the time to use his martial skill before he started to panic.
At this critical moment, Zhang Jicheng made a prompt decision and shouted, "True Origin Shield!"
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, four different colored attribute energies burst out around Zhang Jicheng. They rushed towards Zhang Jicheng in a frenzy. At the same time, the energy slash came crashing down, causing a loud explosion.
In an instant, the terrifying energy engulfed Zhang Jicheng. A fifty to sixty foot tall mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
The energy ripples sent Duan Hen Xi flying more than ten meters away. He almost fell out of the arena.
Seeing the terrifying energy ripples and the huge mushroom cloud, many students were frightened out of their wits, and the soldiers' faces were pale.
Although the soldiers were the empire's elite soldiers, they were still far from being able to compete with the genius students.
"The Scorchfire Empire's number one genius is indeed amazing," one of the great generals praised.
"His strength is comparable to the fourth level of the Yuan Dan Stage!" Another general nodded.
As time passed, the energy ripples dissipated. The first thing that came into view was the huge crater in the arena. The arena was completely unrecognizable.
In the crater, Zhang Jicheng was severely injured. He was covered in blood and had no strength to stand up.
"I … I haven't seen you for a year. Your strength … has actually … improved so much," Zhang Jicheng said with difficulty. His voice was very soft.
"This is a secret." Duan Hen Xi smiled and glanced at Feng Wuchen who was below the arena.
The Sky Martial Academy's Dean quickly went down and gave Zhang Jicheng a healing pill. He then brought Zhang Jicheng out of the arena.
"Duan Hen Xi wins!" The Raincloud Academy's Dean announced loudly.
It was not easy for Duan Hen Xi to win this battle. If it was not for his strategy, he would not have been able to defeat Zhang Jicheng.
"Phew! I finally won! "Duan Hen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He had used all his strength.
"He's really amazing. In the Genius Ranking Tournament three years later, Duan Hen Xi will definitely be a terrifying opponent."
"A third level Yuan Dan Stage martial artist's combat strength is not any weaker than a fourth level Yuan Dan Stage martial artist. This guy is even stronger than me."
"Looks like the Skyflame Academy can't be underestimated, especially that Feng Wuchen."
After a moment of shock, the students began to discuss amongst themselves. Duan Hen Xi's strength was something that they couldn't help but admire.
"Next up is Su Lieyang, the number one expert of the Skyflame Academy. His strength is definitely not weak. However, if his opponent is Zhao Wuji, then it's hard to say." A genius student looked at Su Lieyang with a faint smile. He was looking forward to seeing Su Lieyang's strength.
Zhao Wu Ji was a genius student of the Divine Wind Institution. Moreover, he was the strongest student with a cultivation at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage, and his strength could be said to be extremely formidable.
Su Lieyang's expression was very solemn. He did not have much confidence in facing such a strong opponent.
The headmaster of Shuiyun Academy appeared on the arena in a flash. With a wave of his hand, a majestic wave of earth elemental Quintessence spread out, instantly restoring the ruined arena to its original state.
"Number ten Zhao Wuji versus number ten Su Lieyang!" On the stage, the dean of Shuiyun Academy announced loudly.
Zhao Wuji leaped onto the ring with a slightly serious expression. Even if he was at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage, he seemed to not dare underestimate Su Lieyang.
Su Lieyang flashed onto the arena.
At this moment, the entire scene was silent, and the atmosphere became slightly strange as the gazes of everyone shot towards the arena.
"Su Lieyang, I'll go all out. If you hold back, then you'll lose miserably!" Zhao Wuji looked at Su Lieyang and spoke with an expressionless face.
Om! Om!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wuji's aura abruptly changed as he urged his True Essence with all his strength. An azure light flashed explosively, his robes fluttered, and the arena that had just been restored to its original state shook and tore apart.
Zhao Wuji's strength was extremely terrifying. The entire arena was shaking as a force that was ferocious like a gale madly swept out.
"So strong!" Su Lieyang frowned. That formidable pressure caused him to feel extreme fear.
"Zhao Wuji's strength is truly terrifying!"
"His strength is only slightly stronger than Bai Kong Ruo. Su Lieyang will probably lose for sure!"
The genius students were filled with fear. Even Bai Kong opened his eyes to look at Zhao Wuji. Being able to cause Bai Kong to be moved was sufficient to show how formidable Zhao Wuji's strength was.
Liu Qingyang shook his head. "Zhao Wuji's strength is so terrifying. Su Lieyang probably doesn't have the slightest chance."
Feng Wuchen's expression was calm, and he didn't speak.
On the arena, along with Zhao Wuji exploding out with his full strength, Su Lieyang exploded out with his full strength as well. That violent aura was comparable to the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage!
"Very strong as expected!"
"How is this the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage? His strength is comparable to the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage! "
"It's unknown if Zhao Wuji can win now."
The numerous students and officers were terrified to the point cold sweat dripped down their bodies, and they were all terrified by Su Lieyang's strength.
"Not simple!" The other academy deans and elders lightly nodded.
How could the number one expert of Skyflame Institution be an ordinary person?
"Zhao Wuji, let's end this quickly and decide the victor in a single move!" Su Lieyang said seriously, then he pressed his palms together as his aura soared once more.
"Decide the victor in a single move?" Zhao Wuji was first stunned, then he laughed. "Interesting! Good! Decide the victor in a single move! "
"Decide the victor in a single move?" Everyone was instantly surprised.
It was the first time they'd heard of deciding the victor in a single move in the Genius Rankings.
As a genius student, who didn't want to give a good performance? Who didn't want to enjoy the thrill of battle?
Su Lieyang actually proposed the idea of deciding the victor in a single move, and it caused everyone to be extremely surprised.
"Medium-grade Profound Rank martial skill! Divine Ice Body! "
Su Lieyang shouted out in a low voice as ice attribute True Essence was urged, and a layer of ice condensed on the surface of his entire body, and it was suffused with a formidable defensive force.
"Astronomy Talisman!"
Su Lieyang waved his hand and a golden talisman marking appeared out of thin air. Under his control, the golden talisman marking entered between his brows, and the surface of the layer of ice was suffused with a faint golden light.
"Oh? This is a Dao Talisman! "Feng Wuchen was extremely surprised in his heart.
Zhang Junlan swept Feng Wuchen with his gaze and thought to himself. "Looks like Feng Wuchen knows of the existence of Dao Talismans as well. Who exactly is he?"
Ling Xiaoxiao who was beside Feng Wuchen slightly raised her beautiful brows and seemed to be extremely surprised as well, but she didn't say anything.
"Dao Talisman?" A few deans and elders were extremely moved as they simultaneously glanced at Elder Su from the Skyflame Academy.
"Strange, what martial skill is Su Lieyang using? Why can't I understand it? "
"I don't know either, and I don't know what it's used for. It's just that his Divine Ice Body has a defensive force."
The students and soldiers were extremely puzzled.
Su Lieyang's right hand lightly swiped in front of him, and a huge black axe appeared out of thin air. It was a high-grade artifact!
With the appearance of the huge axe, Su Lieyang's aura and aura had an obvious increase!
"Su Lieyang! Come on, use your strongest martial skill! " Zhao Wuji shouted out. He was already fully prepared, and his mid-grade artifact saber was already thirsting for it.
"Medium-grade Profound Rank martial skill! Mysterious Heaven Change! "
Su Lieyang bellowed again and unleashed another Martial Skill.
However, this time, everyone's expression changed drastically!
"He hid it so well!" Bai Kong frowned.
Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically as he said in shock, "How is this possible …"
Su Lieyang's aura actually skyrocketed again, and his aura became even more terrifying!
"A martial skill that increases one's combat strength!" Feng Wuchen couldn't help but exclaim out in shock.
"When did Su Lieyang become so terrifying? His combat strength can actually increase! "Duan Hen Xi was dumbstruck.
Su Lieyang used all his skills, and his current aura was extremely terrifying, not losing to the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage!
"High-grade Profound Rank martial skill! Sky Battle Axe! "
Su Lieyang poured all his strength into the huge axe, and the huge black axe exploded with a bright purple light. It was filled with a violent energy, as if a fierce beast had awakened.
Su Lieyang shouted out loudly as he gripped the huge axe tightly with both hands. Then, he leaped high into the air with a majestic aura as he rose to the highest point and fiercely chopped down with the axe.
"Whoosh!"
"Weng Weng!"
The huge purple energy axe swooped down, and the terrifying energy caused the air to slightly tremble, causing many students and soldiers to be frightened.
"High-grade Profound Rank martial skill is so terrifying?"
"Why do I feel like it's an Earth Rank martial skill?"
Su Lieyang's strength exceeded everyone's imagination. The might of the martial skill was extremely terrifying, and it caused people to be unable to distinguish whether it was a Profound Rank or an Earth Rank martial skill.
"Such shocking strength, it's almost comparable to Huangfu's Sky Battle." Feng Wuchen secretly exclaimed.
"This is an Earth Rank martial skill? No, Su Lieyang clearly said it was a high-grade Profound Rank martial skill! "Zhao Wu Ji's expression was slightly dazed.
However, time didn't allow Zhao Wu Ji to think too much. He had to use all his strength!
"High-grade Profound Rank martial skill! Nether Soul Saber Technique! Nether Soul Slash! "
Zhao Wu Ji's expression was extremely serious as he shouted out loudly and used all his strength to execute the saber technique.
The saber slashed out with a dazzling azure light. The saber light's strength was ferocious, and the arena's ground was unable to withstand the terrifying strength and collapsed continuously.
"Rumble!"
"Pu Pu!"
"Weng Weng!"
Under everyone's shocked and expectant gazes, the two terrifying forces finally collided, and the explosion was deafening. Light shot out in all directions and enveloped the entire foot of the mountain. The destructive force swept out, and two people spat out blood as they were instantly swallowed by it.
The arena was destroyed with a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and the ground around the arena had numerous cracks that extended out.
The destructive force was so terrifying.
Everyone looked at the enormous mushroom cloud that shot into the sky with terrified gazes, and the energy ripples that spread out scared the students and soldiers to the point they covered their heads.
The entire scene was silent. No one knew what was going on, and their gazes stared unblinkingly at the arena.
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and two blurry figures appeared in everyone's line of sight.
It was precisely Zhao Wu Ji and Su Lieyang. Under the full force collision, both of them were heavily injured and their faces were pale as paper.
"Pu!"
The silent space was suddenly broken by the sound of blood spraying.
"I … I actually lost at your hands!" Zhao Wu Ji spat out a sentence with great difficulty before falling down.
"Hiss …"
Everyone was shocked to the point of gasping when they saw this scene!
"Zhao Wu Ji lost!"
"A fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist actually lost to a fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artist!"
"Su Lieyang's strength is truly terrifying! He actually defeated Zhao Wu Ji! "
All the students clamored in astonishment, and their faces were filled with shock. At this moment, the Dean and Elders of the God Wind Institution had faces filled with disbelief.
The number one expert of the God Wind Institution actually lost to Su Lieyang!
