Child of Destiny? New-Age Cultivators

Wang Qiang stared at the scene of Gao Ming defeating Lin Tian in three moves, stunned on the spot, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.

Could it be that I have truly encountered the chosen one of this world?

Otherwise, how could a cultivator without Heavenly Spirit Root be so powerful, easily crushing a genius with Heavenly Spirit Root?

Such scenarios only ever happen to the chosen ones, or to those who possess extraordinary abilities like oneself.

The person in front of me is most likely the chosen one, or perhaps an overpowered individual like myself.

Judging from his seasoned combat experience, his strength clearly comes from countless trials and tribulations, so his opponent is most likely the chosen one.

Wang Qiang's expression gradually became serious.

It was completely unexpected that a figure seemingly destined for greatness would emerge from the Cloud Heaven Sect.

This is absolutely outrageous.

It seems that you really can't say "the advantage is in my hands," because you can easily be slapped in the face by reality.

In an instant, a confident smile appeared on his lips. So what if the other party truly was the chosen one?

I possess the incredible advantage of the multiverse All Heavens Chat Group; the outcome is still uncertain.

Even if the opponent is truly the chosen one, I can still defeat him and seize the position of Holy Son.

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes; he couldn't wait to leap onto the arena and challenge Gao Ming to a duel.

Upon seeing this, Fengyun Wuji warned, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you must be extra careful."

This Gao Ming has extensive combat experience and his attacks are swift and fierce; defeating him will be no easy feat.

Chen Yan joked, "Wang Qiang, you're probably going to crash and burn this time. You really shouldn't say that 'the advantage is in my hands' thing before."

"He is indeed a formidable opponent, with far more combat experience than I do, but my physical body and Primordial Spirit far surpass his. It remains to be seen who will win."

Wang Qiang flashed onto the arena, solemnly cupping his hands in greeting. "Wang Qiang greets Senior Brother Gao, and hopes to Duoduo your guidance."

Gao Ming had just defeated Lin Tian in three moves and thought no one would dare to challenge him again. He was somewhat surprised to see Wang Qiang take the initiative to step onto the stage.

Is this person arrogant and ignorant, or do they have something else to rely on?

He looked up and sized up Wang Qiang, and seeing that the other party was only at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core Realm, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Junior Brother Wang, our cultivation levels differ by a minor realm. You Non-Self. It would be better to admit defeat to avoid injury later."

Wang Qiang smiled confidently, "Senior Brother Gao, I know there is a gap in our cultivation levels, yet I still dare to step onto the stage. Naturally, I am confident in my own combat strength."

I came here today specifically to seek guidance from my senior brother.

Upon hearing this, Gao Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and scrutinized Wang Qiang intently.

Where does their confidence come from?

A thought suddenly popped into my head:

Could this person also be bound to the Fairness System like me?

If that's the case, then it makes sense that the other party has such confidence.

However, the opponent's strength is not yet on the Combat Power Ranking, but as a fellow system host, their combat power must be extraordinary, so we must not let our guard down.

"Since Junior Brother Wang is so confident, then I'll settle this with you!"

Before he finished speaking, his aura exploded, and a chilling killing intent swept across the entire area. He slashed his spirit blade through the air, and a sharp blade of light, with the force of thunder, struck Wang Qiang directly.

Facing this overwhelming momentum and chilling killing intent, Wang Qiang's expression darkened, and he felt a sense of stagnation throughout his body.

At this moment, he finally understood why Lin Tian had suddenly frozen and reacted a beat too slowly.

Only by experiencing this impact firsthand can one truly understand how terrifying the other party is.

If he hadn't been prepared, he probably would have been thrown off balance by the murderous aura and missed the initiative.

But he was already on guard and knew that it was impossible for him to be easily defeated by this.

"Good timing!"

He summoned two flying swords, his fingertips rapidly forming sword incantations, and two sharp Sword Qi burst forth from the swords, striking the opponent like streaks of light.

One flying sword met the blade's light head-on, while the other bypassed the attack and went straight for Gao Ming himself.

"Boom!"

"Clang!"

Two loud explosions rang out in quick succession.

With a deafening roar, the sharp blade light shattered, and even the flying sword that could have blocked the attack was sent flying backward.

Another flying sword that was aimed at Gao Ming was also cleaved away by his blade.

Wang Qiang moved swiftly across the arena, his hands constantly forming sword gestures, manipulating his flying sword to launch ranged attacks on Gao Ming, deliberately keeping his distance and never giving his opponent a chance to get close.

He knew in his heart that his combat experience was far inferior to his opponent's, and once he was engaged in close combat, even with the advantage of superior physical strength...

One's own weaknesses will be magnified infinitely, and one can be defeated by exploiting their vulnerabilities if one is not careful.

Clang! Clang!

Gao Ming swung his knife, slashing away the two flying swords that came flying at him. He tried to get close several times, but Wang Qiang skillfully dodged them all, and he could not find an opportunity to get close.

But Wang Qiang underestimated him too much.

Does the other party think I only know close combat?

He's a cultivator, so ranged attacks are his forte.

The purpose of practicing close-quarters combat techniques is solely to counter martial arts practitioners.

Otherwise, if a martial arts master gets close, you could be taken down in one fell swoop, just like Lin Tian was just now, who was defeated in just three moves when I got close.

As the system host, he is a cultivator of the new era, skilled in both ranged and melee combat, with no obvious weaknesses.

Gao Ming deflected the incoming flying sword with a single slash, then swiftly formed hand Method Formula and unleashed the Fire Phoenix Burns the Heavens Technique.

A fiery phoenix, wreathed in scorching heat, soared through the air and hurtled straight at Wang Qiang.

He followed closely behind the divine phoenix, flying forward at full speed, intending to use Law Technique to restrain its opponent and seize the opportunity to get close and defeat it in one fell swoop.

When Wang Qiang saw the Fiery Phoenix attacking, he was startled and quickly dodged, while simultaneously casting a sword incantation to summon a flying sword to protect himself.

"Boom! Boom!"

Loud collisions erupted one after another as the two engaged in a fierce battle on the ring.

One wanted to engage in close combat, while the other wanted to create distance and launch a ranged attack. The two fought continuously on the arena, with deafening collisions and roars echoing one after another.

The crowd below the arena watched the two fight with utter astonishment.

Everyone had just witnessed Gao Ming defeat Lin Tian, who possessed Heavenly Spirit Root, in three moves, and knew how terrifying his strength was.

Unexpectedly, the newly debuted Wang Qiang was able to fight him for a long time without being at a disadvantage.

"This selection of the Holy Son is truly full of hidden talents; the emergence of such a Gao Ming is already quite unexpected."

Now Wang Qiang has appeared out of nowhere. When did the combat power of cultivators without Heavenly Spirit Root become so outrageous?

"That's right. None of us have Heavenly Spirit Root. How did they cultivate to this level? Could it be that they secretly worked hard behind everyone's back?"

"Judging from the current situation, the ultimate Holy Son will most likely be born from one of them."

"That's not necessarily true. Gao Ming and Wang Qiang are both hiding so well; there's no guarantee that there aren't others lurking among the crowd, waiting to reap the benefits."

"That's true. Since two hidden masters have already appeared, there might be a third or even a fourth."

Regardless of whether anyone else appears later, the seven cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root have already been eliminated, and the position of Holy Son is destined to be out of their reach.

"It doesn't matter who wins in the end, the fact that the position of Holy Son is no longer exclusively held by those with Heavenly Spirit Root is already a great victory."

"That's right. Gao Ming and Wang Qiang are the best proof. Even if we don't have Heavenly Spirit Root, if we are willing to cultivate diligently, we can still catch up with or even surpass those cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root."

Lin Tian, Huang Liang, and other cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root watched the two fighting fiercely on the arena with complicated expressions, their fists clenched tightly, their hearts filled with resentment.

Throughout history, cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root have always been the ones who defeat all rivals and ascend to the position of Holy Son in the Cloud Heaven Sect.

But now, this has been completely shattered in their generation.

Others will inevitably feel that they are far inferior to the Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators of previous years.

The thought of becoming a laughingstock of the sect and being nailed to the pillar of shame filled them with immense resentment.

But the gap in strength is undeniable, and no matter how unwilling they are, there's nothing they can do.
