Chapter 52: Liu Feng's Defeat

"What? Are you shocked that I knocked you back with a casual palm strike? Are you wondering how our cultivation levels can be so similar, yet our strength so vastly different?" Seeing Liu Feng's shocked expression, Ling Zhan mocked further.

"This guy is terrifying! He easily knocked Liu Feng back with just one palm! His power seems even more fearsome than Xiao Chen's!" Su Gutian was stunned, his gaze at Ling Zhan filled with dread.

"This guy's strength is immense!" Ge Tianming exclaimed in horror, feeling a sense of relief. Previously, he was dissatisfied with losing to Ling Zhan, but now he had to accept it.

"The difference in power is too great. Ling Zhan hasn't even exerted himself!" Gao Feng said in shock, witnessing such a fearsome young teenager for the first time.

On the arena stage, Liu Feng's face turned angry. Facing Ling Zhan, who was arrogant, dismissive, and repeatedly mocking him, Liu Feng's anger was understandable. Even a Buddha would have lost his temper.

"Are you angry? Let all your anger out." Ling Zhan sneered, beckoning Liu Feng with a hand, looking even more arrogant.

"Damn! Liu Feng is enraged. This way, he'll lose his composure and rationality, revealing even more flaws, making him no match for Ling Zhan." Xiao Chen frowned, secretly worrying.

"Black Earth Devour!" Furious, Liu Feng frantically activated his true essence, forming hand seals with his hands, then roared angrily, slamming his palm onto the arena floor.

"Sizzle!"

"Buzz!"

A powerful force instantly spread across the entire arena. Under Ling Zhan's feet, a black vortex rapidly formed on the arena ground, spreading madly with immense power, causing the arena to tremble once again.

"Earth attribute?" Ling Zhan sneered, unperturbed, activating his true essence and striking the ground with an air palm. Instantly, a large amount of wood-attribute energy appeared out of nowhere, clashing with the black vortex.

"Ice Seal!" Ling Zhan shouted, activating his ice attribute true essence. The black vortex filled with wood-attribute energy was instantly covered by a layer of ice.

"What?" Liu Feng was shocked once again as he saw Ling Zhan effortlessly breaking his martial skill.

"Wood overcomes Earth; you should know this well! No need for me to explain further, right?" Ling Zhan sneered, then stomped his foot, shattering the ice into countless frost particles, dispersing Liu Feng's black earth vortex.

"Liu Feng's martial skill was broken again! Is Ling Zhan really human? This is too terrifying!" Ge Tianming gasped in shock, his face pale as he watched, increasingly horrified.

"Liu Feng's powerful attack was easily nullified by Ling Zhan! I can't believe someone our age like Ling Zhan has such terrifying strength!" Lin Qing exclaimed in fear.

"Hmph! Wood attribute true essence!" Liu Feng snorted coldly, activating his true essence once more, rapidly forming hand seals and shouting, "Heavenly Dry Flowing Cloud Slash!"

"Swish!"

Liu Feng swung his arm abruptly, sending a crescent-shaped golden energy slash rapidly towards Ling Zhan, causing a large arm-thick crack on the arena floor as it passed.

"The young master of the Liu family has two types of attribute powers! Truly a genius! Normally, having one attribute power is impressive. If one can't comprehend it, they wouldn't have any attribute power at all!" A cultivator exclaimed in shock.

"Incredible! Combining gold and earth attribute powers to perform martial skills! The power is doubled, and with gold attribute power, it can counter Ling Zhan's wood attribute!"

The spectators became excited, but Xiao Chen's face remained solemn, thinking to himself, "Earth produces metal. Combining gold and earth attribute powers can enhance the strength of martial skills, but the gap in power cannot be bridged by attribute powers alone."

"Gold attribute true essence? Hmph! You think gold overcomes wood? Too naive!" Ling Zhan sneered, showing disdain in his eyes.

"Bang!"

Ling Zhan activated his true essence, extending his right hand. Flames appeared out of nowhere on his arm, and with a muffled bang, he caught Liu Feng's energy slash barehanded. Despite the powerful impact, Ling Zhan didn't even take a step back!

"Fire attribute true essence! Fire overcomes gold! This guy has three types of attribute powers! Oh my god! This is too monstrous!" Su Gutian was shocked. He only had two types of attribute powers, while Ling Zhan had three!

"This guy is ridiculously strong! He caught Liu Feng's Flowing Cloud Slash barehanded!" Ge Tianming was so shocked he couldn't describe it.

"What? He caught it barehanded? How is that possible?" Liu Feng was shocked once again. He was at the Golden Core stage; no matter how strong his opponent was, it shouldn't be possible to catch his attack barehanded.

"This can't be true, right? Or did I see it wrong? Is the power gap really this vast?" Yu Tian was also shocked and terrified.

On the arena stage, Ling Zhan's disdainful gaze swept over Liu Feng as he sneered, "Liu Feng, I told you before, you would regret it. I know you're puzzled, so let me clear it up for you. You combined gold and earth attributes not just to enhance power, but also to use earth to counter my ice attribute, right? Let me tell you the truth: I have six types of attribute powers. Your earth attribute is countered by my wood attribute, and your gold attribute is countered by my fire attribute. Your attacks are ineffective against me. Even if I don't activate my attribute powers, with your limited power, you can't hurt me. It's that simple."

"What? Six types of attribute powers? That's impossible! In Tian Du, at most, we have two types of attribute powers. This guy claims to have six types of attribute powers!" A cultivator was immediately shocked, breaking into a cold sweat.

"Six... six types of attribute powers? Is that... possible?" Ge Tianming exclaimed in fear, as the other young cultivators turned pale with fright. Having three types of attribute powers was terrifying enough, let alone six!

Not only were the cultivators watching the battle extremely shocked, but even the experts from the three great families were taken aback by Ling Zhan's words, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Six types of attribute powers? That means no matter what attribute power Liu Feng uses, Ling Zhan can counter it! Ling Zhan is truly formidable!" Xiao Chen was also shocked, finding it hard to believe.

"Xiao Chen, don't worry about these attribute powers. As long as you have powerful martial skills, attribute powers don't matter." The ancient White Tiger transmitted.

On the arena stage, looking at the arrogant Ling Zhan, Liu Feng quickly recovered from his shock, coldly saying, "You seem very pleased with yourself! Catching my Flowing Cloud Slash makes you so proud?"

Hearing this, Ling Zhan sneered with surprise, "Oh? From your words, it seems you have an even more powerful move that you haven't used yet. If that's the case, then go ahead and use it. Since I said you'd regret it, I'll make sure you do, and make you, a so-called genius of Tian Du, lose all face."

"Clang!"

Liu Feng's aura suddenly changed, his eyes becoming extremely fierce, and his body exuded a murderous intent. He grabbed into the air, summoning a black long spear emitting a faint blue light.

"A low-grade spiritual weapon! A spiritual weapon! The young master of the Liu family is about to use the Liu family spear technique!" A cultivator excitedly guessed upon seeing Liu Feng summon the spear.

"Wow! It's a spiritual weapon! What a powerful aura!" The cultivators were amazed. In Tian Du, spiritual weapons were priceless treasures. Besides the Liu family, no one else had a spiritual weapon!

"The Liu family spear technique? It seems this is Liu Feng's best martial skill!" Xiao Chen remarked.

"Buzz buzz!"

"Swish swish swish!"

Liu Feng activated his true essence, rapidly wielding the long spear. Powerful energy continuously spread out, forming spear beams that shot towards Ling Zhan one after another.

"The Liu family spear technique? This should be your most powerful martial skill! Now I'll destroy your pride by breaking your most powerful martial skill!" Ling Zhan sneered, quickly activating his true essence and attacking with a single hand.

"Bang bang bang!"

Ling Zhan swiftly advanced towards Liu Feng, his right hand striking down the spear beams one by one as they came.

"What?" Liu Feng's face changed drastically as he saw Ling Zhan easily deflect his spear beams. This was his most powerful martial skill.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

Ling Zhan moved at lightning speed, appearing in front of Liu Feng after a few blurs. Liu Feng thrust his spear forward, but Ling Zhan's agile body dodged to the right. At the same time, Ling Zhan punched Liu Feng with immense power, causing him to spit out blood and fly several meters back.

"You're nothing. One punch and you're spitting blood. The Liu family spear technique is quite ordinary!" Ling Zhan mocked, seeming to derive pleasure from ridiculing others, never missing a chance to taunt Liu Feng.

"Bastard! This guy is too much!" Su Gutian fumed, while the cultivators below the stage angrily cursed Ling Zhan.

"Feng'er!" In the pavilion, seeing Liu Feng injured, Liu Yuntian looked worried and almost couldn't stay seated.

The words "very ordinary" struck Liu Feng's heart fiercely, enraging him completely. The Liu family's spear technique was renowned throughout Tian Du and was Liu Feng's most prideful martial skill. To have Ling Zhan dismiss it as "very ordinary" utterly infuriated him.

"Ah!" Liu Feng roared suddenly, frantically activating his true essence, pouring all his strength into the long spear. The spear emitted a dazzling blue light, exuding a powerful aura.

"Ling Zhan! I won't let you get away with this!" Liu Feng shouted, his face contorted with rage, channeling all his strength.

"Tiger Roar, Heaven and Earth!" Liu Feng roared, his entire body bursting with brilliant blue light. He leaped high, holding his spear, and charged towards Ling Zhan with immense power.

Ling Zhan activated his true essence and quickly formed seals with his hands. He shouted, "Now I'll show you how trashy the Liu family's spear technique is! Diamond Seal!"

"Boom!"

A powerful energy seal, radiating dazzling purple light, suddenly descended from the sky, slamming into Liu Feng with a thunderous explosion. The impact sent Liu Feng crashing onto the stage floor, the terrifying force destroying the stage completely.

Struck by the overwhelming power, Liu Feng instantly lost consciousness. Ignoring the explosive energy, Ling Zhan walked over, stepped on Liu Feng's head, and sneered, "The so-called genius of Tian Du is nothing but a weakling! Get lost!" With a kick, he sent Liu Feng flying off the stage.

In this battle, Liu Feng suffered a crushing defeat!

"Feng'er!" Liu Yuntian could no longer stay seated. He quickly flashed down to the stage, his face full of concern.
