"Good!"
On the high platform, Chen Zhen couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration, his eyes filled with excitement.
Lin Dong's Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Hand is more refined and powerful than it was in the semi-finals!
"Even Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage expert wouldn't dare to take this palm strike head-on," Qi Lei said in a deep voice, but his gaze fell on Luo Heng, his expression complicated.
Can Luo Heng catch it?
The answer is yes.
Luo Heng looked up at the enormous, pitch-black hand that Shrouding the Heavens, his expression remaining calm.
He raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread.
The Great Desolate Body!
A dark golden light burst forth from his body, and dark golden patterns appeared on his skin, like ancient Talisman Rune, radiating an indestructible defensive power—the manifestation of the Great Desolate Body.
One of the Four Great Hall Suppressing Martial Arts the Desolate Hall, the Body Refinement Technique complements the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique, further enhancing the strength of the physical body.
The gigantic black hand slammed down, colliding violently with Luo Heng's Great Desolate Body!
boom--!!!
A deafening roar erupted, and the entire platform trembled violently!
Centered on Luo Heng, the bluestone slabs within a radius of several dozen feet instantly shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions!
Smoke and dust filled the air, enveloping Luo Heng's figure.
All eyes were fixed on the plume of smoke, awaiting the outcome.
"Was Senior Brother Luo Heng hit?"
"I don't know, the smoke and dust were too thick..."
"He should be alright, right? Senior Brother Luo Heng is so strong..."
Ying Huanhuan nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, but she had faith in Luo Heng; Brother Heng wouldn't lose!
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Luo Heng stood still, his robes fluttering slightly, unharmed.
A faint dark golden aura surrounded him, and the patterns of the Great Desolate Body flowed slowly across his skin. The force of the giant black hand striking him was completely neutralized by the Great Desolate Body, leaving not even a scratch on his clothes.
The entire hall fell silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene in disbelief.
The Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Hand, an attack at the High-grade Spirit Martial Arts level, couldn't even break through Senior Brother Luo Heng's defense?
"This... how is this possible?" someone murmured.
On the high platform, the high-ranking officials also looked shocked.
Qi Lei took a deep breath and slowly said, " Luo Heng's Great Desolate Body has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation."
Wu Dao smiled mysteriously, without denying it.
It's more than just achieving the Great Desolate Body!
Wei Sen gasped, "Mastery? He's only been a beginner for a short time?"
Chen Zhen stroked his beard and laughed, "This kid can't be judged by common sense."
Ying Xuanzi sat in the very center, looking at the motionless figure in the arena, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
On the platform, Lin Dong looked at Luo Heng, who was completely unharmed, and shook his head with a wry smile.
He knew Luo Heng was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.
The Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Hand is already one of his strongest attacks, yet it couldn't even break through Luo Heng's defense.
"Brother Luo Heng, how many trump cards do you still have?" Lin Dong couldn't help but ask.
Luo Heng smiled and said, "Guess?"
Lin Dong's lips twitched, but he didn't reply. He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.
" Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Technique - Burning Heaven Flame Domain!"
Lin Dong let out a low shout, and the Primal Energy within his body surged wildly. The Vermilion Bird Flame Power burst forth from his body, transforming into a huge crimson fire domain that completely enveloped the entire platform!
Within the fiery domain, the temperature suddenly soared to its extreme, igniting the Primal Energy in the air and producing crackling and popping sounds!
Luo Heng stood in the fiery domain, feeling the intense heat around him that could burn an ordinary Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm expert to ashes, yet his expression remained calm.
"That's a good move." He nodded, giving a fair assessment.
But that's about it.
His physical body was at the Minor Accomplishment of Death Xuan Stage; this temperature wouldn't even make his skin turn red.
Lin Dong gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and his inner Primal Energy surged once more!
" Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Roar!"
A deafening cry of the Vermilion Bird erupted from his mouth, the sound waves carrying towering flames, transforming into a giant crimson bird that swooped down towards Luo Heng!
Wherever the giant bird passed, the air ignited, leaving a long trail of flames!
Luo Heng watched the giant crimson bird swooping down, raised his right hand, and gently drew a line with his index and middle fingers together.
Tai Xu Swordplay, Fifth Form: Void-Breaking!
A faint gray sword mark flashed from the fingertip, silent yet sharp enough to Space-Splitting, and collided violently with the crimson giant bird!
laugh--
There was no earth-shattering noise, only an extremely faint cutting sound.
The imposing crimson giant bird was sliced in two by the gray sword mark, and then exploded with a bang!
Flames scattered everywhere, turning the platform charred black.
Lin Dong watched this scene with utter helplessness. He felt that no matter what move he used, Luo Heng could easily neutralize it. He didn't even have to use his weapon. This feeling was... utterly powerless.
"Brother Luo Heng, I admit defeat."
Lin Dong withdrew his internal Primal Energy and shook his head with a wry smile.
He had already used all his strength, but he couldn't even break through Luo Heng's defense, so there was no point in continuing the fight.
Luo Heng smiled and said, "Not bad, you've improved."
Lin Dong's lips twitched. Progress?
He felt he hadn't improved at all and was still utterly helpless in front of Luo Heng.
"Alright."
Luo Heng patted his shoulder and laughed, "Go back and train hard, try to withstand a few more moves next time."
Lin Dong's lips twitched.
Can you hold out for a few more moves?
Why does this goal feel so heartbreaking?
But he nodded anyway and said, "I will."
After saying that, he turned and jumped off the platform.
The entire stadium fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Senior Brother Luo Heng won!"
"He's too strong! Senior Brother Luo Heng is too strong!"
"From beginning to end, Senior Brother Luo Heng wasn't serious at all, was he?"
"This is the true demeanor of Senior Brother!"
"That's incredible! Compared to that, Yuan Cang is nothing!"
Standing on the viewing platform, Ying Huanhuan was so excited her face turned red, and she shouted, " Brother Heng is the best!"
On the high platform, Chen Zhen stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of satisfaction.
" The Desolate Hall Chief and the Dao Sect Grand Disciple, truly deserves the title."
Qi Lei nodded and exclaimed, " The Dao Sect is fortunate to have Dao Sect Luo Heng."
Ying Xuanzi stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, and his powerful voice resounded.
" The Hall Examination is over. I hereby announce that the champion of this year's Hall Examination is— Luo Heng!"
"As previously agreed, Luo Heng will serve as the Dao Sect Grand Disciple, leading the Dao Sect Disciple in the Sect Tournament."
"Furthermore, Lin Dong's outstanding strength has led to his exceptional appointment as the Desolate Hall Vice Chief, assisting Luo Heng in leading the disciples of the Desolate Hall."
Lin Dong was slightly taken aback, then clasped his hands in a salute. "Thank you, Sect Master."
He knew in his heart that this title of deputy chief was less of a reward and more of the Sect Master's recognition and expectation of him.
The entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers once again.
" Senior Brother Luo Heng! Senior Brother Luo Heng!"
Luo Heng stood on the platform, a faint smile on his lips.
He looked at Ying Huanhuan on the viewing platform. The girl was smiling brightly and waving at him. Luo Heng then walked towards her.
Ying Xiaoxiao playing on her lips, and silently uttered a sentence.
Luo Heng understood; he hadn't expected the girl to actually believe it.
She said, " Senior Brother."
