Ye Xuan's Strength Rose Again?!

Mountain Opening!

Boom!

Zhao Wenwu's muscles bulged all over.

He was like an enraged bull, carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks as he drove a punch at Gu Ningxue!

The fist wind howled, compressing the air until it let out a dull explosive crack!

Yet faced with this fierce, overbearing punch, Gu Ningxue did not even shift her feet an inch.

Lin Yuan's lazy, indifferent appearance, as if nothing in the world concerned him, surfaced unbidden in her mind.

"Like an indestructible little cockroach, he has countless tricks..."

Though Lin Yuan had been talking about Ye Xuan, those words still set alarm bells ringing in her heart.

Even a lion used its full strength when hunting a rabbit!

The moment she stepped onto this arena, she had cast aside every trace of disdain!

Clang—

A clear sword cry rang out.

A brilliant sword light flashed by like a meteor falling from the nine heavens!

Fast!

Fast to the absolute limit!

Everyone saw only a streak of white light flash past. They did not even see how Gu Ningxue had drawn her sword!

The next second.

Zhao Wenwu's frenzied charge came to an abrupt halt!

He remained frozen in the posture of throwing a punch, his face filled with disbelief.

A thread of icy coldness slowly rose from his neck.

With difficulty, he lowered his head.

Only then did he see that a long sword as thin as a cicada's wing had silently come to rest against his throat.

The sword tip flickered with chilling cold light. If it advanced another inch, it would pierce his throat in an instant!

Gulp.

Zhao Wenwu swallowed hard, cold sweat instantly covering his forehead.

The entire arena fell silent as a grave.

Several seconds later, the referee's voice finally rang out.

"First match, Gu Ningxue wins!"

Whoosh—!!!

Thunderous applause and cries of astonishment erupted throughout the venue!

"Holy shit! An instant kill! Another instant kill!"

"She's too strong! Goddess Gu's sword is so fast it can't even be seen!"

"Zhao Wenwu is a Marrow Cleansing Realm Fifth Level cultivator, yet he couldn't even take one move from her!"

Gu Ningxue sheathed her sword and gave Zhao Wenwu a slight nod.

Then she turned around.

Crisply and decisively, she walked off the arena.

The competition continued immediately afterward.

Qin Zhan of the Imperial Military Academy took the stage. His opponent was a Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level expert famed for his nimble movement techniques.

Yet before Qin Zhan's incomparably domineering Dragon Elephant Subduing Prison Technique, every technique appeared pale and powerless.

Just three punches!

Only three punches!

Qin Zhan shattered his opponent's protective spiritual energy and sent him flying out of bounds with one punch—simple, brutal, and utterly unreasonable!

Afterward, Liu Ruyan of the Magic City Martial Arts Academy, Shi Lei of the God of War Academy...

These top geniuses also displayed their crushing strength one after another, easily advancing.

The pace of the matches was so fast it left people breathless!

At last, when the light screen froze once more, every gaze in the venue instantly converged on one name!

[Capital Martial Arts Academy · Ye Xuan VS Cangyun Martial Arts Academy · Luo Tian]

"It's here! That dark horse, Ye Xuan!"

"His opponent is Luo Tian! Cangyun Martial Arts Academy's ace, a renowned Marrow Cleansing Realm Seventh Level expert!"

"Now there's some suspense! Ye Xuan may have risen against the odds all the way here, but he is ultimately just a grassroots nobody with insufficient foundations. Against an established powerhouse like Luo Tian, his dark horse journey will probably end here!"

"Hard to say. There's something damned strange about Ye Xuan!"

Amid the discussion, Ye Xuan and Luo Tian, a tall man with an arrogant face, stepped onto the arena.

Luo Tian looked Ye Xuan up and down, the corner of his mouth curling into an undisguised sneer.

"You're Ye Xuan, right? I've heard of you."

In a lofty tone, he said, "A piece of trash at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Second Level who relied on a secret technique that burns potential to make it this far—it certainly wasn't easy."

"Unfortunately, your good luck ends here."

"Today, I'll personally knock you, this clown hopping on a beam, back to your true form!"

Luo Tian abruptly unleashed his aura!

Boom!

The powerful pressure of the Marrow Cleansing Realm Seventh Level surged toward Ye Xuan like a tide!

He wanted to use his aura to crush Ye Xuan's fighting spirit outright!

Yet before this pressure, Ye Xuan merely stood there quietly, without the slightest expression on his face.

What flashed through his mind was the ugly sight of that foolish woman Li Xuan'er crying and begging him to get back together with her.

Then came the image of Lin Yuan lying in his chair, making Huangfu Zhuo kneel and cough up blood with a single look!

Endless rage, resentment, jealousy...

They turned into the most pure fuel, blazing fiercely within his chest!

"Is that so?"

Ye Xuan slowly raised his head. His eyes had already turned blood-red, filled with madness and brutality!

"Shut up!"

Rumble—!!!

A terrifying aura more than ten times as violent as Luo Tian's suddenly erupted from Ye Xuan's body and shot into the sky!

It was no longer merely a fluctuation of spiritual energy!

It was a force of destruction mixed with blood baleful energy, Dragon Might, and an endless will of madness...

"What?!"

The smile on Luo Tian's face instantly froze, replaced by boundless horror!

Before that aura, his Marrow Cleansing Realm Seventh Level pressure was like papier-mâché, instantly blasted into pieces!

"This move will make you shut up!"

Ye Xuan's figure vanished from where he stood!

The next second, he appeared before Luo Tian. A fist covered in blood-colored dragon scales carried a sonic boom that tore through the air as it smashed forward viciously!

Blood Burning... Dragonification Fist!

Bang—!!!

A tremendous explosion rang out!

The layers of protective spiritual energy Luo Tian had hastily erected shattered inch by inch like glass!

His entire body was like an armored beast charging at high speed had struck him head-on.

He spurted out a stream of blood!

His body flew backward!

He crashed heavily onto the ground below the arena and fainted on the spot!

One move!

Another single move!

At that moment, the entire Dragon's Nest fell into deathly silence!
