Just then.
An astonishing aura suddenly erupted from Cang Sheng's body.
That aura was sharp enough to pierce the heavens, as though Sword Qi overflowed from it, irresistible and unstoppable.
Situ Fang's heart suddenly sank.
Seeing the strange state Cang Sheng was in, he decisively intensified his attack.
Bang, bang, bang! Sparks flew everywhere as saber and sword crisscrossed, their cold gleams cutting through the air.
The next moment.
A muffled rumble came from within Cang Sheng's body.
"Boom!"
His aura surged by a great margin.
"What?!"
The Situ Family Head and the members of the Situ Family all rose to their feet involuntarily.
They were utterly shocked, every one of them staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied.
"Th-this Cang Sheng actually broke through in the middle of battle?!"
"That's right. His realm is now the same as Young Master Fang's—the Martial Master Seventh Level Realm!"
"A genius... Cang Sheng is a genius! Not only could he fight the strong while weak and endure several hundred exchanges, relying on his senses to battle, but he could even achieve a breakthrough at the brink of despair!"
Cang Sheng's performance left everyone clicking their tongues in amazement.
Situ Taili, meanwhile, stared fixedly at Cang Sheng on the arena, his face filled with extreme astonishment.
He could see that Cang Sheng had done more than merely break through in battle.
The fight atop the arena continued.
With his eyes closed, Cang Sheng had shifted from passively defending himself to Contending with Situ Fang.
The two exchanged blows back and forth. Cang Sheng's profound Sword techniques caught Situ Fang off guard, leaving several sword wounds on his body.
Situ Fang gritted his teeth, glaring with bloodshot eyes as he endured the pain and fiercely slashed at Cang Sheng.
The crowd had only just caught their breath
