Sparring! Ao Yuan Concedes

The sea around Redstone Archipelago, where Yang Wenqing usually cultivated, was now filled with surging waves.

This was another sparring match between Yang Wenqing and Ao Yuan. After Ao Yuan visited Redstone Archipelago and learned that Yang Wenqing's cultivation had advanced again, while he himself was only one step away from the Third Realm, he remained bitter over his previous defeat at Yang Wenqing's hands and proposed this match.

Ao Yuan stood amid wind and rain, maintaining his human form. His hands rapidly formed seals before his chest as a formation flickered into view around him, condensing dozens of water arrows. Each was as thick as an arm and glimmered with dark blue spiritual light.

With a raised finger, dozens of water arrows shot out at once, sweeping toward Yang Wenqing from every direction.

Five-Colored Mystic Light emerged around Yang Wenqing. With a thought, Spleen Earth Aura appeared instantly, spreading through the Five-Element Cycle into an invisible web of gravity.

He unleashed the first form of the Zhenhai Secret Art: "Sinking Tides."

The instant the gravity web formed, the Water Spirit Aura within several miles was suppressed. The rolling waves lost their impact the moment they reached the edge of the web.

The water arrows lost control the instant they entered the area. Their dark blue spiritual light was instantly suppressed and scattered, and their bodies burst into splashing water before finally falling as fine droplets onto the sea.

Ao Yuan's brow twitched. At the same instant the water arrows were dispelled, he charged forward. The sea beneath his feet exploded into a wall of water, and using its rising force along with an eruption of True Essence, he bore down on Yang Wenqing. At the same time, his right hand drew a semicircle before him.
