Standing on the arena once more, facing the Sea Clan cultivators opposite him, Shangguan Jue's eyes were deep and he was not careless.
He had met these people at an exchange meeting long before the Ten Institutes Grand Competition officially began.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Firstly, it was due to their trust in the Holy Heaven Association; secondly, it was because the arrays carried by these Sea Clan would make people subconsciously overlook their presence.
Now that the other party has stepped forward, the fog-like thing in his mind has finally been cleared away, allowing him to immediately understand the cause and effect.
These people...
They were probably already watching the Human Race cultivators of the Saint Heaven Realm from the shadows.
Unexpectedly, the one who had been eyeing their Saint Heaven Realm Realm's prodigies was actually the Sea Clan.
Unfortunately...
Seeing the disdain in the eyes of the Sea Clan cultivator opposite him, Shangguan Jue curled his lips, a cold and savage glint in his eyes.
If you underestimate him just because he lost to Qu Youmeng before, then he will definitely make these people in front of him suffer a crushing defeat!
He, Shangguan Jue, was never someone to be trifled with!
An aura as intense as the blazing sun emanated from him, carrying an Desolate Ancient and timeless quality, which quickly exploded across the entire arena.
Shangguan Jue's expression was as cold as a demon god, and fine black lines slowly appeared on his cheeks.
That was a symbol of his full Sacred Physique.
Before that, neither he, Jiang Chengzun, nor anyone else had used their full strength—except for certain unpredictable individuals from the Desolate Ancient Holy Heaven.
After all, we are all Human Race. Although we are not from the same Holy Heaven, we are all in the Saint Heaven Realm and fight against external enemies together, so we can be considered fellow disciples.
There's no need to risk your life.
Whether it's an exchange meeting or Ten Institutes Grand Competition, both are tests of combat capabilities.
Why would you need to risk your life?
But now, things are different.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, it was almost clear that Shangguan Jue's strength was rising steadily.
Compared to when he first fought Qu Youmeng, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his strength has increased by a whole level.
But in the eyes of the Sea Clan cultivator Bo Yier opposite him, it only made him smile faintly and speak slowly with an extremely condescending attitude.
"That's rather interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a sweeping motion in the air with one hand, and a beam of light as bright as the Milky Way tore through the void and appeared in his palm.
It was a long, silver-blue spear.
With the spear in hand, the red ribbons trembled slightly, and a faint blue light flashed across the scales on Bo Yier's face. Spiritual Power instantly gathered, and with a raised hand, he delivered a strike.
With a single strike, Shangguan Jue attacks collided instantly.
boom!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the blue-silver light was completely unaffected by Shangguan Jue's attack. Instead, it devoured Shangguan Jue's attack without any hesitation, like a Taotie, and roared towards Shangguan Jue's location.
boom!
Another sound.
Unlike before, this time, Shangguan Jue was completely powerless to fight back. In fact, before he could even make any other reaction, he was engulfed in a dazzling silver light by the attack of this Sea Clan prodigy.
He was sent flying backward, drops of crimson blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Weak and exhausted, he collapsed instantly off the stage.
Shangguan Jue, defeated!
Ice and...
Seriously injured!
"Senior Brother Shangguan!"
"Senior Brother Shangguan, how are you?!"
The geniuses of Great Void Holy Heaven were immediately startled, their faces filled with shock. They gathered around Shangguan Jue, their faces showing undisguised astonishment.
Meanwhile, on the arena, the Sea Clan cultivator Bo Yier calmly sheathed his spear, looked at the heavily injured Shangguan Jue lying on the ground, and squeezed out a sarcastic smile from the corner of his mouth before speaking casually.
"He's got something."
"But unfortunately, it can only be considered second-rate; it's too weak."
Second-rate!
Too weak!
This is blatant mockery!
However... even the mockery had an indescribable impact on the audience.
Because they clearly realized that this Sea Clan monk was not exaggerating at all.
Perhaps, to him, Shangguan Jue really was only a second-rate cultivator.
Shangguan Jue was defeated far too easily!
The opponent even gave Shangguan Jue the opportunity to use his Sacred Physique, but he still lost, and was defeated in one move, without any suspense.
It's important to understand that even when Qu Youmeng defeated Shangguan Jue, it wasn't easy; it was a close fight, not a one-hit kill.
This prodigy from the Sea Clan before them had accomplished with ease what neither Wang Yan nor Qu Youmeng had been able to do.
It's really...
Enjoying the gazes of those around him, Bo Yier's lips slowly curved into a smile.
He casually glanced at Shangguan Jue on the ground, and finally stopped concealing his aura.
The aura of Ancient Emperor slowly emanated from him!
"Ancient, Ancient Emperor!?"
Upon sensing his presence, many people were stunned, as if struck by lightning, standing frozen in place, staring at Bo Yier in disbelief, their eyes filled with utter astonishment.
" Ancient Emperor!"
"It really is Ancient Emperor!"
"Hiss... How could this be... How is this possible? The Life-Testing Stone clearly showed that the other party was also a young prodigy, this, this..."
Everyone was horrified.
Ancient Emperor!
And this Ancient Emperor is so young!
This is absolutely incredible!
No one had ever imagined that they would see such a young prodigy.
Even if the other party is Sea Clan.
Their eyes were filled with absolute shock as they looked at Bo Yier, and only one thought remained in their minds.
How monstrous must the talent of this Sea Clan prodigy be!
Meanwhile, the Sea Clan felt a surge of pride as they observed the gazes of the Human Race cultivators.
Bo Yier's appearance was something they had meticulously planned from the beginning.
This is the strongest prodigy of their Sea Clan!
If it weren't to show the Human Race the difference between them, they would never have brought Bo Yier here. Of course, their environment as Sea Clan is not as comfortable as that of Human Race, so coming here is at most a training experience.
Not to mention, there's also a Saint Realm protecting them.
This trip will not only humiliate the Human Race, but also demonstrate the strength of their Endless Sea, and train their own race's prodigies.
This can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
After Bo Yier displayed his strength, the faces of many Human Race cultivators began to turn pale.
This includes some of the Holy Teachers of the Holy Heaven.
They never imagined that such a prodigy could emerge from the Endless Sea!
Let alone a thousand years... it's probably a once-in-ten-thousand-year event!
How are they supposed to fight now?
Even Jiang Chengzun, who originally wanted to go on stage to test Bo Yier's skills, had an extremely ugly expression.
Ancient Emperor...
This was truly beyond his expectations.
but...
He cannot back down.
However, just as Jiang Chengzun slowly stood up, preparing to go on stage for a battle, he saw Bo Yier suddenly look in his direction, his eyes filled with strong criticism and disdain.
Before Jiang Chengzun could even approach him, Bo Yier spoke directly.
"Step back, you weakling."
"You're not qualified to fight me."
