Chapter 48: Crushing Victory!
On the martial arts stage,
The residual waves of qi continued to spread outwards, causing constant rumbling sounds from the stage. The spiritual energy was wildly turbulent.
The battle between Tian Cheng and Huang Yuan was still ongoing.
Both were at the same realm level.
Tian Cheng possessed innate divine strength.
Huang Yuan's palm techniques were equally exquisite.
Neither could overpower the other for the moment.
It was impossible to determine the winner.
At this moment, Tian Cheng suddenly stomped hard on the ground. From his mouth came a roar akin to that of a wild beast!
Sound waves rippled out!
Muscles all over his body bulged madly, and his entire frame doubled in size!
At this moment, there was a sense of spatial compression around Tian Cheng's body!
His physical strength alone could affect the surrounding environment!
It was evident just how powerful Tian Cheng's physical body was.
Huang Yuan's eyes narrowed upon seeing this.
With a flip of his hands, strands of green light covered them like armor!
Within that green light was the essence of wood!
Yes, Huang Yuan had already reached the threshold of the Wood Essence Realm!
Because of this, Huang Yuan's palm prints continued unabated, with spiritual energy flowing endlessly.
Seeing this, Tian Cheng grinned and said, "Shall we settle this with one strike?"
Huang Yuan didn't speak, but the seriousness in his eyes and the rapidly condensing spiritual energy in his hands spoke volumes about his intentions!
Power gathered in this moment. Tian Cheng suddenly stomped and shot towards Huang Yuan!
Huang Yuan snorted coldly and flipped his palms!
Those green wood palm prints surged like a tide, sweeping towards Tian Cheng!
Boom!
Tian Cheng's fists continuously pounded on those palm prints!
The palm prints shattered continuously, and Tian Cheng's body continued to press forward!
However, Tian Cheng's strength was also rapidly dissipating!
Obviously, both sides were continuously consuming spiritual energy!
Everyone stared tightly at the two on the stage.
This kind of battle, probably only Jian Chaomian and others could participate in!
After a long while.
The violent spiritual energy on the stage gradually dissipated.
The figures of the two retreated at the same time.
If you look closely, you can see.
Now both of them had a slight paleness on their faces!
Obviously, such a high-intensity confrontation had consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy from both of them!
"So who won in the end?"
When this question was asked.
Huang Yuan said, "Let's leave it here, okay?"
Tian Cheng also nodded in agreement, "Shall we call it a draw?"
"A draw."
Seeing this, the elder on the side also stepped onto the stage and announced the result, "Huang Yuan from the Southern Domain and Tian Cheng from the Eastern Domain, it's a draw!"
The crowd was in an uproar!
This result obviously exceeded their expectations.
After all, the Southern Domain was too far behind.
Normally, in such a situation, the leader of the Southern Domain would be overwhelmed every time.
But now, they fought to a draw!
The elder continued, "Now, each side has one person left to send up."
In the Eastern Domain, there was one man left at the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion Realm.
In the Southern Domain, there was only Ye Qiubai left.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two walked up to the martial arts stage.
Immediately, whispers filled the air.
"It's finally Ye Qiubai's turn. I really want to see how he managed to score higher than Senior Brother Jian with his late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm strength."
"The gap in realms is difficult to compensate for with other factors, not to mention both are academy geniuses."
"We'll know once they're done."
On the stage.
On the martial arts stage,
The man from the Eastern Domain held his sword and said, "It's already commendable for your Southern Domain to reach this stage. You can stop now."
Ye Qiubai didn't reply.
After all, words were futile. Demonstrating strength was what mattered.
Seeing this, the man from the Eastern Domain frowned slightly. As the elder announced "begin," he swung his sword towards Ye Qiubai!
The man's swordsmanship was extremely exquisite. Sword qi blocked all of Ye Qiubai's retreat routes, forcing him to face the enemy head-on.
But Ye Qiubai had no intention of retreating. His wooden sword slipped into his hand, continuously slashing through the sword qi!
"A wooden sword?"
"Isn't that too arrogant? The opponent is at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm."
"Putting on airs. That wooden sword will soon be shredded!"
But the reality was not as they said.
That wooden sword, like the sturdiest treasure in the world, suffered no damage in the sword qi, not even a splinter!
On the other hand, under the wooden sword's strikes, the sword qi shattered continuously!
This astonished the man from the Eastern Domain. Even though he hadn't exerted his full strength, he couldn't easily resist someone at the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Just as he was about to swing his sword again.
Ye Qiubai disappeared from where he stood.
The man's face turned pale!
To the shock of everyone present, Ye Qiubai blinked and appeared in front of the man, his wooden sword already at the man's neck!
There were no flashy sword techniques!
Nor was there a sky full of sword qi!
It was a simple demonstration of strength!
In terms of speed and timing, the man from the Eastern Domain had no chance to defend himself!
The man from the Eastern Domain looked grim.
How could he have been so easily defeated by a Southern barbarian?
And the opponent's realm was even lower than his!
Looking at Ye Qiubai's calm eyes, there was no surprise or satisfaction.
It was as if all of this was expected.
This made the man from the Eastern Domain even more desolate.
Turns out, the person he looked down upon didn't even put him in his eyes!
At this point, the elder stepped forward to announce, "Ye Qiubai from the Southern Domain, wins!"
"In this exchange, the Southern Domain has two people left, Huang Yuan and Ye Qiubai."
"The Eastern Domain has one person left, Tian Cheng."
"Therefore, the Southern Domain advances."
Tian Cheng's face turned slightly unpleasant.
The crowd found it unbelievable.
Not only did the Eastern Domain lose, but they were also astonished by Ye Qiubai's strength!
Being crushed by someone at the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, what did this indicate?
It indicated that Ye Qiubai's strength was far beyond that!
In the Western Domain, some watched calmly, while others were slightly surprised.
"This time, the Southern Domain seems stronger than previous years."
"And significantly stronger. Although the Eastern Domain is third, their overall strength is probably not much stronger than ours."
"Actually, it's because the Eastern Domain underestimated their opponents too much."
In the Northern Domain, someone exclaimed, "This time, the Southern Domain seems different."
Jian Chaomian looked calmly at Ye Qiubai on the stage, contemplative.
On the stage, Qin Tiannan smiled faintly.
While the Dean of the Eastern Domain Academy remained expressionless.
At their level and position,
They no longer reveal their thoughts on their faces.
"Congratulations, Dean Qin."
Dean Qin clasped his hands, "It's just a stroke of luck."
Wood Shi also smiled, "It seems that the Southern Domain has received quite a few talented individuals this time. Speaking of your disciple Huang Yuan, he has already touched the threshold of the Wood Essence Realm, which is quite good."
He mentioned Huang Yuan but decisively did not mention Ye Qiubai!
Apparently, Ye Qiubai's performance was not impressive enough to catch their attention.
Qin Tiannan smiled without saying a word.
Jiang Chan, watching this scene, breathed a sigh of relief.
