"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Second match, Duan Qingbo of the Tide Listening Pavilion, defeated!"
Below the Bronze Sparrow Platform, Heavenly Lord Hanjian and the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage stood stunned as they watched Duan Qingbo, who had taken only two punches from Xu Taiping before Xu Taiping's fist force broke through his Body-Protecting Golden Light and sent him flying with a punch.
The other spectating cultivators within the Bronze Prison were also aghast.
After a long while, amid the uproar all around them, Heavenly Lord Hanjian frowned and shook his head.
"A pure spell cultivator like Duan Qingbo really is at a disadvantage against Xu Taiping without other martial cultivators guarding him."
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage nodded.
"A pure spell cultivator in the Heaven Shocking Realm can manage against ordinary martial cultivators of the same realm. But against a first-rate Martial Dao cultivator like Taiping, his fragile body will be beaten down before he has any time or opportunity to unleash spells and divine abilities."
Heavenly Lord Hanjian agreed.
"Exactly."
He immediately added:
"It would be different against a Dao Integration Realm cultivator. After all, the speed at which Dao Integration Realm cultivators unleash spells and divine abilities, as well as the protective measures of their Life-Bound Divine Weapons, are far beyond anything Heaven Shocking Realm Magic Cultivators can match."
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage nodded slightly, then sighed.
"It seems that among challengers at this realm, unless they're prodigy-level spell cultivators, Martial Dao cultivators are still better suited to helping Xu Taiping improve."
Heavenly Lord Hanjian looked toward the Bronze Sparrow Platform and frowned.
"Xu Taiping had better raise his ability to muster his own combat strength to a full hundred percent today."
"Otherwise, if a powerful prodigy-level challenger appears in the next match, this trial of his can go no further."
