Reincarnation of a Powerful Expert

"Next match: Lin Tianci versus Xuanyuan Hao!"

As the Elder's voice rang out, Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao, standing below the arena, exchanged a smile before leaping onto the stage at the same time.

"Finally, it's our turn." Lin Tianci smiled at Xuanyuan Hao.

"If you lose to me, don't let it crush your spirits."

Xuanyuan Hao immediately began talking tough.

"Then I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do."

"Make your move."

With a curl of his lips, Xuanyuan Hao vanished from where he stood and charged at Lin Tianci.

"Oh? Good timing!"

At the sight, fierce fighting spirit surged in Lin Tianci's eyes as he rushed forward to meet him.

The two exchanged a punch in the center of the arena.

A wave of spiritual power swept outward, and both of them simultaneously sprang apart.

"Not bad. Again!"

Lin Tianci shouted.

The two then traded several more palm strikes, neither gaining the upper hand.

Just then, an enigmatic and powerful aura rose from their bodies.

It was the talent bestowed by their constitutions.

Chaos Body and Supreme Divine Bone!

A hazy glow shone from Lin Tianci's chest, and the power throughout his body surged explosively.

Xuanyuan Hao, meanwhile, was enveloped in radiance as his aura abruptly soared.

Seeing this, the two charged at each other once more.

Fists and kicks collided. Every move was plain and unadorned, yet each carried berserk, overwhelming power.

As the arena shook along with their clash, the other disciples watching below wore looks of utter shock.

"So strong! This is evenly matched—only a clash between strong opponents is worth watching!"

"Take a look at who's up there."

"But he's right. This is the most entertaining match of the tournament so far."

On the arena, Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao fought from the stage into the air, then from the air back onto the stage.

Yet neither could gain the advantage.

"Not bad!"

Xuanyuan Hao laughed.

"Of course. You're not bad yourself!"

At that moment, Xuanyuan Hao suddenly retreated sharply.

Seeing this, Lin Tianci knew his opponent was about to unleash his ultimate move.

In that case, he would stop holding back as well.

"Bloodline Enhancement! Supreme Divine Light!"

Lin Tianci shouted in a low voice.

At that instant, the Imperial Blood within him boiled, while mysterious runes coiled around his body.

At his chest, an immensely powerful energy was gathering.

Even the disciples watching from far away felt their hearts tremble.

This energy was too powerful!

Across from him, Xuanyuan Hao froze briefly upon sensing that power, then his face lit up with excitement.

"Now this is interesting!"

As he spoke, he stood firm in midair and closed his eyes.

"Chaos Sky-Pillar Palm!"

He abruptly opened his eyes and pressed his right hand downward through the air.

A massive palm of spiritual power appeared in the void, carrying an enigmatic aura as it struck toward Lin Tianci.

"Good!"

At that moment, the energy before Lin Tianci's chest had condensed to its peak, and a beam of divine light shot fiercely toward the enormous spiritual palm.

As the two collided, an intense flash of light burst forth.

Almost everyone was briefly blinded.

At the same time, the roar blanketed the entire arena.

When everything finally settled, Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao were both standing on the stage, completely unscathed.

"You won."

Lin Tianci said with a bitter smile.

That move just now had drained all the spiritual energy from his body.

Yet Xuanyuan Hao, standing across from him, still had spiritual energy left.

"Actually, it's a trait of my physique. I can absorb and store a great deal of spiritual energy."

Xuanyuan Hao did not deny it, openly revealing the characteristics of his physique.

"Is that so? But next time, it may not necessarily be you who wins."

Lin Tianci accepted this result, but he believed that he would still have a chance to win next time.

At the very least, next time, he would be fighting for victory.

"Then you'd better work hard. After all, I'll be stronger next time."

Xuanyuan Hao smiled. He was also looking forward to their next match.

In his eyes, Lin Tianci truly was a formidable opponent.

If the other man had not run out of spiritual energy, it was hard to say who would have won or lost.

Besides, he himself did not have much spiritual energy left either.

As the two spoke on the stage, heated discussions had already broken out around them.

"No way... you call them new disciples?"

"I'm an old disciple, a Spiritual Power Realm expert, and that strike just now might have killed me in an instant!"

"Forget you. We're both in the Spiritual Power Realm, but you're not even as strong as me. I don't even think I'm qualified to make them use that move against me."

"Is this what a true genius is?"

Within the crowd, Dao Wuhen still wore an expression of disbelief.

"This... it seems I really am far, far behind them."

At that thought, a wave of disappointment surged through Dao Wuhen's heart once more.

In the spectators' seats above.

"That strike from Hao'er and Tianci has already reached the level of the King Profound Realm..."

Xuanyuan Chen was extremely satisfied with their performance, even pleasantly surprised.

Now that the quarterfinals had concluded, the remaining contestants were Ye Xinran, Jin Xiaoya, Xuanyuan Hao, and Xiao Yueming.

In the next round, Ye Xinran would face Xuanyuan Hao, while Jin Xiaoya would face Xiao Yueming.

This round caught everyone by surprise.

They had thought it would be as thrilling as the previous one.

Yet it was precisely the opposite.

Every battle ended quickly.

The battle between Ye Xinran and Xuanyuan Hao could only be described as a complete crushing.

It was not a crushing in terms of cultivation, because Ye Xinran had suppressed her realm.

Yet she still shattered Xuanyuan Hao's Chaos Sky-Pillar Palm with a single sword strike.

Had Ye Xinran not held back, Xuanyuan Hao would likely have been injured.

Everyone who witnessed this was utterly dumbfounded.

Xuanyuan Hao was clearly so powerful, yet before Ye Xinran, he had been so helpless.

This match made everyone understand one phrase once again:

Beyond the heavens are still heavens; beyond people are still people.

Even Xuanyuan Hao himself and Xuanyuan Chen, who had mentally prepared themselves, were stunned.

They knew who would win and who would lose.

But they had not expected it to happen like this.

The overwhelming victory had taken them both by surprise.

As for the other group, Xiao Yueming faced Jin Xiaoya.

Xiao Yueming had likewise suppressed her realm.

But her martial techniques and divine abilities, perfected to the point of wondrous mastery, left even Jin Xiaoya—with her talent fully unleashed—utterly unable to withstand them.

He claimed victory in just two or three moves.

This match made Jin Xiaoya realize just how terrifying Xiao Yueming was.

His understanding and application of martial techniques and divine abilities were nothing short of astonishing.

At the same time, Jin Xiaoya felt a trace of something strange.

It seemed that the divine abilities he used should not exist in this world.

At the very least, they should not exist on the Heavenly Desolation Continent.

"Xiaoya, you're very strong, but your development of the Five Elements Sacred Body is still insufficient.

"With your talent, you are destined to become someone of breathtaking brilliance in the future.

"And I'm not speaking only of the Heavenly Desolation Continent."

Xiao Yueming smiled as he spoke to Jin Xiaoya, a hint of deeper meaning in his eyes.

Upon hearing Xiao Yueming's words, Jin Xiaoya was first stunned, then fell into thought.

"My development of the Five Elements Sacred Body is insufficient... not only the Heavenly Desolation Continent..."

Then, she looked at Xiao Yueming's departing back, her eyes filled with curiosity.

In her view, Xiao Yueming was shrouded in mystery from head to toe. He seemed to know many things.

Even things beyond the Heavenly Desolation Continent.

In the void.

Watching this scene, Ye Chang'an's face was full of interest.

"A reincarnated powerhouse... interesting."
