Cang Lie?
Lin Xuan felt utterly helpless upon hearing the names called out.
He never expected that he would be drawn as an acquaintance one after another.
Moreover, this acquaintance was his third senior brother, the one who had always disliked and looked down on him.
What a coincidence!
From the moment he arrived at the Supreme Institute, his third senior brother, who was exceptionally talented and had a special physique, had always looked down on him.
Not only was he cold in his words and arrogant in his attitude, but in all the time Lin Xuan had known him, he had rarely seen his third senior brother show any kindness to anyone.
Let alone him, even towards Sacred Master Yunzhao's other students, Cang Lie rarely gave them a second glance; basically, they were not on the same wavelength.
He was extremely arrogant, only having eyes for top geniuses like the Ten Saints, and completely disregarding people like Lin Xuan.
I never imagined it would be you and me on the same stage.
Cang Lie never expected that Lin Xuan and he would be assigned to the same arena.
He was somewhat surprised, but mostly he gave a cold laugh.
"Although we are from the same sect, swords and spears have no eyes on the arena, and I will not show mercy because of this. I advise you to admit defeat."
This third senior brother's arrogance has truly remained unchanged.
Lin Xuan sighed helplessly, but simply shrugged. He didn't say a word, but the sword he drew made his stance clear.
Admit defeat?
The word "defeat" doesn't exist in his dictionary; he's determined to win first place in this college competition.
Seeing that Lin Xuan had no intention of admitting defeat, Cang Lie sneered, "You don't know what's good for you! Since that's how it is, then don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
Below the arena, among those watching this scene, Chang Ling'er couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Lin Xuan.
She stood below the stage, opened her mouth, and originally wanted to persuade Lin Xuan to admit defeat. After all, Cang Lie was just like the Fire Cloud Hound. Once he started fighting, he was a madman and didn't know anything about holding back. He also had no sense of camaraderie among his fellow disciples.
But in the end, looking at the two people already standing at attention on the stage, Chang Ling'er still didn't say anything.
On the arena, Cang Lie had already made his move.
He possesses a unique Fire Flame Physique, making his attacks intense. The Spiritual Power he uses contains hidden scorching flames, which can easily neutralize the Spiritual Power of others, even Sword Intent.
This kind of physique is extremely violent, so his personality is always volatile, especially when it comes to battle. Cang Lie's aura is unleashed, and he is like a fiery arrow, rushing towards Lin Xuan!
However, facing his third senior brother, Lin Xuan did not panic or retreat; he simply swung his One Sword.
Just like he did to those people before him.
Just One Sword.
Cang Lie is Venerable, but he has a special physique. Under the tutelage of Sacred Master Yunzhao, he is considered a rare genius. His strength, when not holding back, is comparable to the Earth Venerable Perfection realm.
It must be said that he certainly has reason to be proud.
At the Venerable Realm, his strength is comparable to the Earth Venerable Perfection!
Even so, in Lin Xuan's eyes, they were no different from ants.
In fact, it wasn't just him; even the Ten Saints were the same in Lin Xuan's eyes, like fleeting clouds that could be dispersed with a wave of his hand.
If it weren't for the reward, Lin Xuan wouldn't even bother participating in this so-called academy competition.
Although we are the same age...
But in Lin Xuan's eyes, they were no different from the younger generation.
However, even so, once you step into the ring, there will inevitably be winners and losers.
Therefore, Lin Xuan unleashed this One Sword strike.
Cang Lie didn't take it seriously at first.
Although he was not a body cultivator, he possessed a special physique that tempered his body, making him even stronger than ordinary body cultivators. Moreover, he had witnessed the power of Lin Xuan's sword techniques and was prepared from the start.
Seeing the sword light pressing down on him, he didn't let his guard down and went straight to meet it, ready to break through Lin Xuan's defenses.
But the moment he made contact, an overwhelming force swept over his entire body, causing him to stare wide-eyed in disbelief. He tried to dodge, but was horrified to find that there was nowhere to hide!
The descending sword light enveloped him, easily piercing his defenses, and then...
boom!
Cang Lie was sent flying backward, crashing heavily off the stage and landing on the ground.
He looked up, almost in a daze, at Lin Xuan on the stage, then at the edge of the arena, and finally at himself, who had been blasted off the stage by One Sword strike...
who I am?
Where am I?
what happened...
How did I get... blasted off the stage!?
Cang Lie was so shocked that he couldn't believe what had happened.
He took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the edge of the ring not far away, and he suddenly realized that he had lost.
defeat...
He actually... lost!?
Not to mention Cang Lie's eyes widened in shock, Chang Ling'er almost spat out a mouthful of spiritual dew. She wiped her mouth in disbelief, her mouth agape in astonishment.
"Huh? No way, Cang Lie lost?"
Even Ye Xian's usually icy face showed an expression of disbelief.
This junior brother... actually defeated Cang Lie, and with... One Sword!?
That's quite astonishing.
Yun Qingming, who had been paying close attention to Lin Xuan, was completely dumbfounded.
Although Cang Lie was disliked by everyone under Sacred Master Yunzhao and never spoke properly to anyone, objectively speaking, he was actually one of the top geniuses of the Supreme Institute.
With Fire Flame Physique, he possesses formidable combat power and is remarkably strong despite his young age.
Although he is not as famous as the Sword Fairy, he is still one of the top geniuses of the Supreme Institute, which is beyond doubt. Moreover, there are rumors that he will eventually reach the Heavenly Venerable Cang Lie, and may even be able to challenge the Ten Saints.
Such talent is definitely not weak.
Even Yun Qingming wouldn't dare say that he could definitely defeat Cang Lie at the same cultivation level.
In terms of strength alone, Cang Lie is Venerable, with strength comparable to Earth Venerable Perfection. His monstrous talent should not be underestimated.
but...
He lost just like that, he just lost to... Lin Xuan!?
How could Yun Qingming accept this?
His mind went blank, and he couldn't react at all.
Not long ago, he comforted himself, thinking that if his cultivation level were the same as Lin Xuan's, he could easily do the same thing, or even surpass him...
But at this moment, Lin Xuan slapped him in the face with his actions.
If one's cultivation level is the same, can one achieve the same level as Lin Xuan?
Once I reach the Perfect Emperor Realm, can I truly... defeat Cang Lie with One Sword strike?
Not only would others not believe it, but even Yun Qingming himself... didn't believe it...
Not only him, but everyone else was also shocked by the result.
"The person who was thrown out was actually Cang Lie? The Cang Lie with the special physique from the Supreme Institute? It really is him!"
"Incredible! I've never heard of Lin Xuan before!"
"Of course you haven't heard of him. He's a freshman who just enrolled this year. He's Cang Lie's junior brother and a disciple of Sacred Master Yunzhao."
"Hiss... Two prodigies in one family? Tsk tsk!"
In the Primordial Holy Heaven, although everyone is a genius, the meaning of the term "prodigy" varies greatly among them.
Xi Jingjing looked up, staring blankly at the person on the stage, her eyes filled with a daze.
Lin Xuan...
He's actually that strong?
