Seeing Ximen Sheng successfully roll off the stage, Qi Yunlong officially announced the results of the competition.

"This battle... Xiao Feng wins!"

With Qi Yunlong's announcement, the crowd seemed to awaken from a dream. Everything just now had completely subverted their understanding.

A God Tribulation Realm level 10 actually defeated a God Spirit Realm level 3!

"Is this... really something a human can do?" someone muttered in disbelief.

"And with one sword, Divine Doctor Xiao only used one sword to defeat Ximen Sheng. This is a complete and utter crushing victory!" someone exclaimed.

It's no wonder they were so beside themselves; this was simply not something a human could do. Not only was it a victory against a higher level, but it was a complete and utter crushing!

"Moreover, this time it couldn't possibly be... Xuan energy miscontrol again, right?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Sigh, can't you see it yet? Ximen Sheng is just saying that on purpose to save face, but look at him now. Divine Doctor Xiao beat him worse than a dog!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... truly amazing... worthy of being a genius who broke through to the God Tribulation Realm at the age of six."

As the competition ended with Xiao Feng's overwhelming victory, the crowd recovered from their stunned disbelief, and what followed was a heated discussion.

Such a mind-blowing scene would take them a long time to calm their emotions...

Qi Yunlong then said, "Xiao Feng remains the ringleader. If no one challenges him after three minutes, then he will be considered to have successfully defended the ring!"

One minute passed...

Two minutes passed...

With only 30 seconds left, still no one stepped onto the stage. After all, everyone had seen Xiao Feng's strength with their own eyes. Not to mention that anyone who competed with Xiao Feng had yet to leave the stage unscathed, and each one was disfigured.

Even if they wanted to go on stage, they had to think about their own lives...

"Clap clap clap..." But just as everyone thought Xiao Feng would be the first person to successfully defend the ring, applause came from behind Xiao Feng. They turned their heads to look, and the person applauding was actually... Ximen Qing!

He wore an Ice Vein Robe and still held a folding fan in his hand, clapping his hands with a kind smile on his lips.

"Hiss—look quickly, Ximen Qing is on stage!" someone exclaimed, seeing Ximen Qing on stage.

It was no wonder they were so excited, because Ximen Qing was, after Xiao Feng and Qi Qingyun, the most recognized genius in Flowing Wind City!

Not only was his Xuan Dao talent extremely high, but he was also 'simple and honest' and kind to others.

They never expected that they would see Ximen Qing personally take action in this tournament!

You must know that Ximen Qing is only 18 years old this year, and a long time ago, his Xuan Dao cultivation was already at the sixth level of the God Spirit Realm. Moreover, because no one in the younger generation, except for Qi Qingyun who left Flowing Wind City, could withstand a single move from him, they hadn't seen Ximen Qing take action for several years...

At this time, someone suddenly asked, "Sigh... who do you think would win if Divine Doctor Xiao competed with Ximen Qing?"

As soon as this was said, it instantly sparked a debate among the crowd.

"This... it should be Divine Doctor Xiao, right? After all, he can easily crush a God Spirit Realm level 3. Even Ximen Qing might not be able to do that, right?"

"I don't think that's necessarily true. Ximen Qing hasn't taken action for many years. After all, who in our Flowing Wind City, besides Qi Qingyun, is a genius worthy of his action?"

"Moreover, I think it's only because Divine Doctor Xiao suddenly appeared today, and his strength is simply defying common sense, otherwise I estimate Ximen Qing wouldn't have taken action in this tournament."

"That makes sense..." At this time, Qi Yi, who was mixed in the crowd, suddenly said, "But have you forgotten what Du Kongpo said? I feel it's still because Ximen Qing's love turned to hate, and he's jealous of Xiao Feng..."

"That makes sense!" As soon as Qi Yi said this, someone immediately echoed.

"But I really didn't expect Ximen Qing to be this kind of person... I always thought he didn't have a temper."

"Although Du Kongpo said that, I can't completely believe it. Maybe Du Kongpo is deliberately slandering Ximen Qing..."

"..."

Ximen Qing's appearance on the stage immediately sparked a discussion among the crowd, which also shows how popular he is in Flowing Wind City.

"Hehe..." Seeing Ximen Qing on stage, Xiao Feng chuckled, "You're finally willing to come up. I thought you would be a shrinking turtle, hiding in your shell for the rest of your life."

"Hahahaha... Brother Xiao is too serious. The reason I came up to compete is entirely because I admire Brother Xiao's strength. Thus, my hands are itching, so I wanted to come up and spar with Brother Xiao." Ximen Qing responded with a smile.

"Hands itching? My knife skills happen to be pretty good. Do you need me to chop off your hands so they won't itch in the future?" Xiao Feng said with a chuckle.

Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Ximen Qing's face twitched slightly, but when he thought that he was still on the stage, he quickly restored his elegant expression and asked doubtfully:

"Why does Brother Xiao sound so aggressive? Could it be that Brother Xiao has some misunderstanding about me? If there is a misunderstanding, you should say it, otherwise wouldn't it hurt our feelings?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xiao Feng shook his head and teased, "I understand why you make Qi Panjian feel sick. I also want to vomit when I see your pretentious posture now!"

Qi Panjian: "???"

Hearing his words, Ximen Qing glanced at Qi Panjian almost imperceptibly, then turned his head back, "It seems that the 'misunderstanding' between us is very big, but I think everyone has already waited impatiently."

"Why don't we first see the truth with our strength... We can discuss this matter later."

"That's what I wanted." Xiao Feng also said calmly.

Seeing that both sides were ready, Qi Yunlong did not hesitate any longer and said loudly, "Then I announce the competition... begins!"

The sound of the start also mobilized the hearts and souls of the spectators. The collision between the two top geniuses of Flowing Wind City was enough to make people's blood boil just thinking about it.

And now it was about to happen in reality!

And the two contestants had already rushed towards each other the moment the starting sound fell...

"Whoosh—"

The extreme speed stirred up a fierce wind.

Both of them clenched their right fists, and in an instant, their fists, carrying powerful Xuan energy, collided...

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by an explosive sound, the huge chasm in the middle of the arena, cleaved by Xiao Feng's Heavenly Wolf Slash, cracked in all directions under the force of their colliding fists, instantly creating a huge hole at the point of impact.

As the terrifying aftershocks spread, they both retreated. Xiao Feng took three steps back, while Ximen Qing retreated four steps...

Seeing this, Ximen Qing opened his folding fan with his left hand and said leisurely, "Divine Doctor Xiao, your reputation is indeed well-deserved. Although I only used thirty percent of my strength, you were able to force me back four steps. Among the younger generation in Flowing Wind City, perhaps only you and Qingyun can do that."

"I imagine Divine Doctor Xiao was just warming up as well."

"How did you know?" Xiao Feng asked with a playful expression, "I only used twenty percent of my strength just now. I suppose Young Master Ximen was deliberately being modest with me."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent. Such a powerful force, yet one person said he only used twenty percent of his strength, and the other said he used thirty percent. Is this something an 18-year-old could do?!

Are they bluffing!

Not to mention the spectators, even Ximen Qing, upon hearing Xiao Feng say twenty percent, paused the folding fan he was lightly waving in his left hand.

Then he laughed and said, "I was originally worried that using my full strength would injure Divine Doctor Xiao. Since that's the case, then I won't be modest..."

As he spoke, he put the folding fan in his left hand into his personal space, and in its place, an ice-blue Xuan sword appeared in his hand.

As soon as the ice-blue Xuan sword appeared, a chilling coldness suddenly filled the surrounding area...

"It's the Ice Soul Sword!" Someone saw the sword and exclaimed, "That's a God Spirit Xuan Sword! If I remember correctly, isn't it the personal sword of the Ximen Family Head, Ximen Ding?"

"God Spirit Xuan Sword?!"

Hearing the explanation, the crowd was immediately horrified. The sword aura released by a God Spirit Xuan Sword was definitely far from what ordinary mortal swords could compare to!

"Why doesn't Divine Doctor Xiao reveal his weapon?" Ximen Qing asked, seeing that Xiao Feng's hands were empty.

Xiao Feng smiled calmly, "I'm not used to using weapons. If you want to use a weapon, just use it... A weapon is part of one's strength."

Ximen Qing was about to put away his weapon, but he didn't expect Xiao Feng to guess his intention and directly block the words he was about to say.

But it didn't matter. As far as he was concerned, he still didn't know Xiao Feng's exact strength.

Now that he was using a weapon, there would be fewer variables, which would also allow him to know the gap between them!

"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite..." Ximen Qing held the Ice Soul Sword, and the surrounding coldness spread in all directions.

Soon, not only the arena but also the audience in the stands felt a chill that went straight to the bone...

The biting coldness did not have any effect on Xiao Feng. He stood tall, his eyes filled with firm divine light, and a purple sword aura emerged from his right hand. A huge Heavenly Wolf shadow appeared above Xiao Feng, then slowly opened its eyes
