On the arena, a hint of disdain flashed across Xiao Yuan's eyes, his indifferent gaze not even Yan Ji a second glance.
He finished speaking casually, then stepped off the stage with an air of arrogance that even his back exuded.
Below the stage, Xiao Yuan's Spiritual Power was shattered, and he collapsed to the ground, barely managing to get up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and stared at Xiao Yuan's back, his eyes still filled with disbelief.
Everyone, including him, was shocked.
He was not only shocked by Xiao Yuan's strength, but also shocked that he had actually lost.
Completely powerless to fight back!?
Upon seeing this, the students of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven burst into laughter twice, their smiles widening to reveal undisguised mockery.
"As expected, a single strike was delivered."
"He claims to be one of the Ten Saints, tsk tsk, he's not even as good as our ordinary students, what trash."
" The Primordial Holy Heaven truly lives up to its reputation as the bottom-ranked institution for so many years. If I were a student of the Primordial Holy Heaven, I would be too embarrassed to participate in this year's Ten Institutes Grand Competition!"
Each sound, each word, was like a dense drumbeat, striking the hearts of the students of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
Ironically, what they said was only slightly sarcastic; what they said was entirely true.
What are the facts?
The fact is...
They're telling the truth!
Absolutely no adulteration!
Moreover, although Yan Ji was knocked off the stage and his Spiritual Power dissipated, it was not a serious injury. He could recover in a day or two by taking some basic healing pills.
In other words, Xiao Yuan's behavior was completely beyond reproach.
Unless being strong is also wrong...
Every member of the Primordial Holy Heaven looked grim, their fists clenched, yet they were powerless to refute, forced to endure the strange looks and pointing fingers directed at them.
Behind the people of Primordial Holy Heaven, Wenren Nian watched everything, seeing Yan Ji drag himself back to his seat. Looking at the other's drooping head, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven has gone too far in bullying us!
but...
He lowered his eyes and asked the person next to him telepathically.
"Given this situation, you're not planning to intervene?"
"There's no need."
Wan Renshan sat lazily on one knee, supporting himself with his arm, sipping the spiritual wine in his cup. His gaze swept over Yan Ji's figure as he answered telepathically without making a sound.
His gaze was clear and indifferent, sweeping briefly over the people of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven before withdrawing again.
Upon seeing Wenren Nian's puzzled expression, Wan Renshan paused.
He's still my good friend after all.
He kept it a secret from everyone, but he didn't hide it from Wenren Nian.
He drank the spiritual wine in his cup in one gulp and explained telepathically.
"Look at this exchange meeting, there are quite a few strong individuals here, at least five or six who are no less capable than me."
"The competition hasn't even started yet, and I don't want people to know my strength beforehand."
After saying this, Wan Renshan paused for a moment before letting out a soft sigh.
"The sky is high and the earth is vast, revealing the infinity of the universe... This world is full of geniuses, and it will not be easy for our Primordial Holy Heaven to seize a better ranking and turn the tide."
"Let Shentu Feng draw the fire first. I must proceed cautiously and strategize carefully in order to have any chance of winning a decisive victory for Primordial."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Nian shook his head repeatedly, feeling the same way, but also a pang of heartache for his friend.
"You..."
He knew how desperately and hard-working Wan Renshan had been after his last failure.
Firstly, they wanted to prove themselves.
Secondly, it was also to vindicate the Primordial Holy Heaven.
While his emotions were churning, Wenren Nian was also shocked.
He was all too aware of just how terrifying Wan Renshan's strength had improved this time.
However, Wan Renshan actually claimed that at least five or six people at this exchange meeting were no less capable than him?
You should know that geniuses like Jiang Chengzun didn't come!
Are the other geniuses of the Holy Heaven really this terrifying...?
Wenren Nian grinned, suppressing his desire to stand up for Wan Renshan.
Playing the hero now is just a momentary pleasure.
What they want is a complete turnaround!
Shentu Feng, who was at the very front, was under the most scrutiny, and his face was ashen.
First, he was mistaken for someone from the Holy Heaven Association, who bypassed him to look at Wan Renshan. Then, he was mocked by the Golden Feather Holy Heaven members, and before a fight even started, he was stopped, leaving him with a bellyful of anger that had nowhere to be vented. Now, with Yan Ji's defeat, his ears are filled with all sorts of sarcastic and indifferent voices, and the entire Primordial Holy Heaven is once again looked down upon, as if the words "last place" have been completely attached to them...
Shentu Feng's heart was burning fiercely.
He was seething with anger, but he couldn't scold Yan Ji, nor could he order Xiao Yuan to get revenge.
Otherwise, it would seem that the Primordial Holy Heaven is too unwilling to accept defeat.
Therefore, Shentu Feng took a deep breath, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and used the spiciness in his throat to suppress the burning anger in his heart, his eyes deep and brooding.
Don't let him find an opportunity!
Shentu Feng secretly made up his mind.
Given the chance, he was determined to show these people his strength and the power of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
Let's expose their true colors!
No one cared what the Primordial Holy Heaven was thinking.
Even Yan Ji's failure could only serve as a temporary topic of conversation at this exchange meeting.
Mocking the Primordial Holy Heaven is something the Golden Feather Holy Heaven loves to do.
What the other members of the Holy Heaven valued more was the benefits they could gain from the exchange.
Two more rounds of competition followed.
Winning and losing.
Immediately afterwards, another person stepped onto the stage.
"I am Zhou Quan, from the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven. Please enlighten me!"
His words immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Many of the students in these Ten Holy Heavens have already made a name for themselves.
The Ten Saints Ten Saints, in particular, naturally attract attention as powerful individuals.
Of course, Zhou Quan is not one of the Ten Saints.
The Ten Saints of the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven never appeared!
However, even if Zhou Quan wasn't Ten Saints, he was still very famous. It's even said that he was no weaker than the Ten Saints, but because there were only ten spots for the Ten Saints, Zhou Quan wasn't among them.
He cultivates both sword and saber, breaking through thirteen Great Dao. At the Venerable Realm, he cleverly outwitted and severely injured an Thearch Realm demon. At the Earth Venerable Realm, he fought Thearch Realm demon without being at a disadvantage, and joined forces with his companions to slay...
It can be described as formidable.
However, since Zhou Quan advanced to the Thearch Realm, news about him has become scarce.
The person disappeared.
Many people speculate that Zhou Quan is deliberately hiding his true abilities, and like many others, he probably wants to make a name for himself in this Ten Institutes Grand Competition!
now.
As if responding to this speculation, Zhou Quan stood on the ring, one hand behind his back, looking completely calm.
Meanwhile, a glint of light flashed in Shentu Feng's eyes below the stage.
' The Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven!'
' Zhou Quan Thearch Realm Second Layer cultivator! Well done!'
This person Thearch Realm Second Layer!
He was equal to himself, and even surpassed him in cultivation level. With his Undefeated Sacred Physique, victory would be easy!
To make a name for oneself, one must begin with this person!
Thinking of this, Shentu Feng stepped onto the arena without hesitation and spoke loudly.
" The Primordial Holy Heaven, Shentu Feng!"
Please advise!
