Two Brothers' Battle

Jiang Yibei back, one hand gathering energy to his waist, the other hand extending out in a snake-like shape, swaying from side to side, his arm as nimble as a snake, seemingly boneless.

'Brush'

Jiang Yibei transformed into a swift serpent and charged straight at Li Bieli.

In contrast, Li Bieli's situation was much simpler. He simply formed a fist, filled it with Spiritual Power, and charged forward.

'Bang'

'Bang'

'Bang'

From the audience, all they could see was the two engaging in close combat, with Spiritual Power becoming secondary and martial arts techniques taking precedence.

"It seems the techniques and martial arts they used weren't very powerful!" someone couldn't help but say.

The fight between Jiang Yibei and Li Bieli gave everyone the feeling of ordinary people Fighting type, similar to the hand-to-hand combat tournaments held by Canglong Fort, where the winner was determined by their strength and martial arts skills.

"Judging from this, the skill's rank is at most fourth level," one spectator said, shaking his head.

Just then, Li Bieli leaped into the air and slammed a powerful punch down at Jiang Yibei.

Jiang Yibei dodged the attack with a nimble snake roll, while Li Bieli's fist slammed onto the arena.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion rang out, and the entire arena was lifted up from Li Bieli's center outwards.

"Hiss!"

A fighting ring was smashed to pieces by that one punch!

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene, finding it hard to believe.

These are arenas used exclusively for the competition. Each arena is not only made of incredibly sturdy materials, but also engraved with sixth-order formations.

An arena with a sixth-order formation can generally withstand battles involving those below the Spirit Venerable.

Of the twelve people present, the strongest was no more than Sima Gaoyi, who was at the Spirit King Stage Three. The others were all below that level. Under normal circumstances, they would not have the ability to shatter the arena.

Okay, even if Spirit King realm cultivator shattered the arena, people could barely accept it, since such things have happened before. But for a peak Spirit Master Eighth Stage to shatter the arena? That's simply a joke!

"Is this the true power of the martial arts techniques in the book?" a spectator whispered in the silent audience.

Everyone fell silent.

The referee on the field looked at the two players who were already standing on the ground, somewhat speechless.

How is this calculated? Although there's no rule in the resource competition that falling off the ring means losing, this concept is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. In the competition, falling off the ring means defeat.

However, it seems that the two are evenly matched at the moment, and since they landed at the same time, there is no way to determine a winner.

A draw is definitely impossible. If a draw occurs, there could be two first-place finishers, making it impossible to allocate the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine.

So the referee thought about it and ultimately decided to wait and see, letting the two continue their match to determine a winner.

"Hiss~"

The two people in the arena were not idle. Jiang Yibei's entire body began to twist unnaturally, like a nimble snake. Because of the Spiritual Power infused into his body, Jiang Yibei's body became somewhat transparent.

Jiang Yibei's transparent body made it impossible for anyone to see his true appearance; it was as if they were truly seeing a writhing serpent rushing towards Li Bieli.

"Bang bang bang~"

Wherever Jiang Yibei passed, the ground suddenly sank three feet deep, and countless bits of mud and soil exploded up on both sides.

A ditch about three meters wide and one meter deep appeared, and as Jiang Yibei twisted, the ditch grew longer and longer.

With two loud thuds, Li Bieli's feet sank into the ground.

He clenched his fists, channeled his Spiritual Power, and punched directly at Jiang Yibei.

"Buzz~"

This punch actually produced a whooshing sound as it hit the air.

A fist formed from Spiritual Power shot straight at Jiang Yibei.

"Bang!"

The sound of the collision was deafening, and dust filled the sky, instantly engulfing the entire Canglong Fort in dust.

"Ptooey!" Ma Feifei forgot to use his Power of Faith to block the splashing dirt, and accidentally swallowed some of it, so he quickly spat it out.

"Wow, Jin is amazing! The power is so great in a different world! If anyone says that the world in your book is a low-level martial arts world, I'll fight them!" Looking at the dilapidated place below, Ma Feifei couldn't help but exclaim.

The terrain now looks nothing like a battleground; it's become a garbage dump, like a demolished area, with mud and broken bricks everywhere.

"But if we extrapolate from this, wouldn't the techniques and skills in the high-level martial arts world be even more outrageous?" Ma Feifei suddenly thought of this question.

Jin Yong's works are martial arts novels, so the martial arts in them are not particularly powerful. There is only one book where the martial arts are the most powerful, but that book cannot escape the category of martial arts.

"I'll go back and buy a copy to try," Ma Feifei thought to himself.

At this moment, the dust settled, and the situation on the field became clear to everyone.

Jiang Yibei and Li Bieli crashed into the corners of the walls on either side, sinking in, their fate unknown.

'Crack'

Suddenly, a sound came from the corner of the wall on the right, and then a figure covered in blood fell out.

Li Bieli!

"Hiss!"

"He actually won?"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

No one could have imagined that Li Bieli would actually defeat Jiang Yibei! Defeat Jiang Yibei, who was two major levels higher than him! Although Jiang Yibei had sealed his cultivation, he was far superior to Li Bieli Jiang Yibei terms of experience and the depth of his Spiritual Power! It's like a cultivator fighting an ordinary person. The cultivator says, "I won't use Spiritual Power; I'll fight you with my physical body only." But does that mean the ordinary person has any hope of winning? No, not even a sliver of hope.

But the ending was so miraculous. Jiang Yibei sealed his own cultivation level down to the same level as Li Bieli, and ultimately lost to Li Bieli.

"Is he dead?" someone asked worriedly, seeing that Jiang Yibei hadn't climbed out yet.

"Probably not?" The expressions on everyone's faces suddenly turned serious.

Throughout history, the internal resource struggles among the 'Twelve Kings' have always been characterized by the prohibition of death, because in a sense, the 'Twelve Kings' are a group; only by uniting can the declining 'Twelve Kings' maintain a certain degree of influence in the Great Chu and prevent themselves from being devoured by other forces.

Therefore, over the years, the internal resource struggles among the 'Twelve Kings' have been relatively harmonious, with no deaths reported.

'Brush'

'Brush'

Two sounds appeared on the field, flying towards the hole Jiang Yibei had smashed into.

'Bang'

With the help of two powerful individuals, Jiang Yibei was finally pulled out of the water.

Fortunately, although Jiang Yibei's body was covered in blood and gore, he still had a pulse and was not dead.

"Li Bieli wins, gaining one point. Jiang Yibei loses, deducting one point."

The referee announced the result.

Because Li Bieli's injuries were too severe to continue, his final ranking was set at third place, while Jiang Yibei was fourth. Zhou Zhuling and Liu Ying, who were left out, inexplicably Lock-On the championship and runner-up positions before the match even started.
