Zhao Lingyun was defeated, Ye Xiao won!
The entire audience was stunned and fell silent.
Only the students of Jiang University were raising their arms and shouting Ye Xiao's name!
Students from other schools were completely stunned.
They didn't even understand what was happening.
Zhao Lingyun got up from the ground and stared blankly at Ye Xiao.
" Ye Xiao, how did you do that?"
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and answered Zhao Lingyun's question.
"An inch longer, an inch stronger"—isn't that what you wanted to convey to me in the first place?
"My fists have a longer attack range than your spear."
Zhao Lingyun's expression grew increasingly shocked.
"Can you hit an opponent five meters away with just your fists?"
"How is that even possible?"
"You're Martialist! You can't cultivate spiritual energy!"
Ye Xiao stared calmly at Zhao Lingyun.
"Who says you can't do this without spiritual energy?"
Zhao Lingyun was completely outmatched by Ye Xiao.
And after this battle ended.
The audience members, especially students from other schools, had a clear understanding of the situation on the field.
Even Zhao Lingyun they all acknowledged as the strongest, was defeated by Ye Xiao.
Moreover, he was defeated by Ye Xiao with One Punch.
Ye Xiao appeared quite relaxed, without even using any power.
In comparison, the other contestants seemed far inferior to Ye Xiao.
That is indeed the case.
In the ensuing battles, Ye Xiao easily swept aside several contestants number 1 from other schools.
They then achieved a 14-game winning streak, directly placing them at the top of the rankings.
Advancing to the second day of the knockout stage is a foregone conclusion.
Even the championship of the Five-School League was already locked in, destined to be taken by Ye Xiao.
Other participants, especially the top 8 in points.
I can only hope that I'll have better luck with the group draw in tomorrow's knockout stage.
Don't run into Ye Xiao too early.
It's best to avoid encountering Ye Xiao in the first round.
The reason is quite simple.
Only the top five teams are eligible to receive a ticket to the Dragon Abyss Cup.
If I encounter Ye Xiao in the first round of the knockout stage.
That means they're eliminated in the quarterfinals before the finals.
The first day of the points-based competition has ended.
Jiang University's Ye Xiao was the only one to advance to the knockout stage, ranking first.
Zhou Chan was eliminated, and her final ranking was ninth.
But Wang Hou was lucky; he made it into the quarterfinals, barely making it in.
He is ranked eighth in the points rankings.
As a result, Jiang University now has two participants who have made it into the top eight.
This honor is certainly quite remarkable.
This will make all the teachers and students of Jiang University proud, and even when they see teachers and students from other schools, they will be able to stand tall with even greater pride.
Soon, the second day of the elimination rounds began.
Once it's Ye Xiao's match, the outcome is basically decided.
Ye Xiao started from the quarterfinals.
They won the first match and advanced to the semifinals.
Win the second match and advance to the final.
In the finals, Ye Xiao encountered Zhao Lingyun again.
For Zhao Lingyun, winning the runner-up position was already the best result she could achieve.
Thus, Ye Xiao won the championship of the Five-School League without any trouble.
They secured their first ticket to the Dragon Abyss Cup.
Ye Xiao, having secured a ticket to the Dragon Abyss Cup, didn't feel much surprise or excitement.
Because this is just an appetizer, a small-scale affair.
For Ye Xiao, the real goal is still the championship of the Dragon Abyss Cup!
To fulfill the regrets of my deceased father.
Moreover, after the Five-School League was completed.
Ye Xiao also had more time to cultivate.
He plans to continue dedicating his time to the Fist Intent Cliff.
After all, Fist Intent Cliff is a treasure trove for enlightenment.
Ye Xiao's mastery of the Fist Intent Cliff technique is less than one-tenth complete.
After that, the affairs of the Lingxiao Society were handed over to Wang Hou, Zhao Xiuxiu, Wu Xiaorui, and others to manage.
Ye Xiao then headed to the Red Abyss World and returned to Fist Intent Cliff.
He continued his meditation for another day or two.
After accumulating 100 hours of meditation.
His attribute boosts from the first phase of meditation have finally reached their maximum values.
[ Fist Intent Amplification Permanently Increased by 50% (+0.5% per hour of training, capped at 50%)]
[ Fist Intent Cultivation Speed Permanently Increased by 100% (+1% per Hour of Cultivation, Maximum 100%)]
[Permanently increases the range of Fist Intent by 50% (+0.5% per hour of training, capped at 50%)]
And from this point onward...
Ye Xiao can now begin the second stage of his enlightenment cultivation!
He poured all his Fist Intent into the golden Fist Intent fragments on the cliff face.
Actively "enter" the Will Illusion Realm left behind by the Nameless Ancestor.
Ye Xiao never expected that such Will Illusion Realm would be left on the Fist Intent Cliff.
After he entered the illusionary space.
Suddenly, a golden figure appeared in the illusion.
This is exactly the scene from 100,000 years ago when the Nameless Ancestor unleashed the Seal Punch.
After Ye Xiao got closer.
The golden figure began to move, throwing One Punch after One Punch in a myriad of variations. Seemingly simple, it was actually Return to Truth, filled with profound and mysterious charm.
Ye Xiao watched for a while, and then became completely engrossed, unable to extricate himself.
Then, he began to completely immerse himself in thought.
I observed and learned from it repeatedly.
He simulated the Fist Intent with his own, attempted to merge it with, and even tried to resist the Fist Intent of the Nameless Ancestor!
Time flew by, and an hour had passed.
Ye Xiao sensed that he seemed to have made significant progress in his studies.
And that's where this idea came from.
A system notification sounded in Ye Xiao's ear.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully comprehended the Seal Fist Intent! Your proficiency has increased by 5%!]
"Not bad."
A smile appeared on Ye Xiao's face.
As long as he gains something from his studies, then his direction of continuous learning is correct.
And then came the realization.
Ye Xiao also discovered that the time it took to successfully comprehend the comprehension was not fixed each time.
Sometimes it takes less than an hour, and sometimes it takes more than an hour.
It mainly depends on whether he has a sudden flash of inspiration that makes him understand something.
The process of gaining insight is essentially Ye Xiao's learning process.
But as Ye Xiao learned more and more...
He gradually drew closer to the fundamental essence of the Nameless Ancestor's Fist Intent.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully comprehended the Seal Fist Intent. Your proficiency has increased by 10%!]
[...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully comprehended the Seal Fist Intent! Your proficiency has increased by 12%!]
[...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully comprehended the Seal Fist Intent. Your proficiency has increased by 15%!]
[...]
As Ye Xiao's experiences with enlightenment increased, so did his.
He found that his understanding of the Nameless Ancestor's Fist Intent was becoming increasingly comprehensive.
Therefore, with each subsequent successful comprehension, his proficiency increased.
When the proficiency of Seal Fist Intent is increased to 100%.
The first wave of evolution has begun.
