The Battle of the Two Shis

Within the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm.

The Ten Saints Grand Competition is in full swing.

For the past two days, none of Chu Feng's disciples at the Dao-Seeking Academy have made a move.

Early on the third day, a handsome young man slowly walked out from the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty. Holding a long sword, he shouted at the Dao-Seeking Academy's camp, "Shi Xuan, I've arrived! Do you dare to fight me?"

This loud shout drew the attention of countless people.

When everyone saw that this young man was challenging a disciple of the Dao-Seeking Academy, curious looks appeared on their faces.

Among the crowd, someone murmured, "The name Shi Xuan sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"

"Shi Xuan, that's the disciple of the Great Sage Qiankun. Back then, the Great Sage Qiankun stood up for his disciple in the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty and attacked the two saints. I still remember it to this day."

"Hiss..."

The surrounding cultivators gasped in shock upon hearing this.

The personal instruction from Saint is something that ordinary geniuses cannot match. Even the holy sons of the Great Sage may not be personally instructed by Saint.

"This kid has some nerve, daring to challenge a disciple of Saint."

Who can argue with that?

"..."

On the stands of the Dao-Seeking Academy, Chu Feng and his group all turned to look at Shi Xuan upon seeing this scene.

Cao Youqian joked, "Junior Brother, the seed you planted that day has finally borne fruit."

Shi Xuan laughed and said, "Isn't this a good thing? I was just wondering if this guy would be too scared to fight me."

He stood up and bowed to Chu Feng: "Master, this disciple will make the first move."

"Um."

Chu Feng nodded slightly. He also wanted to see if his disciple, the Great Villain of Destiny, could defeat the Child of Destiny of the Shi Clan.

Shi Xuan took a step forward, standing high above Shi Hao, and said, "Shi Hao, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Upon hearing this, everyone present sensed something unusual.

Many people started discussing it.

"Do these two have some kind of grudge?"

"It seems like there's quite a grudge between them."

"..."

The murmurs of the crowd had no effect on the two men. Shi Hao slowly drew his long sword. "Shi Xuan, our feud ends here. Regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, no one's family will be implicated. Do you dare to fight?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Shi Xuan laughed and said, "It's a good opportunity for me to see what kind of swordsmanship you've learned at the Sacred Dao Academy over the past ten years that gives you the courage to fight me. Make your move, lest you don't even have a chance to fight back when I do."

That's insane! Absolutely insane!

Upon hearing these words, everyone wanted to take the place of the boy named Shi Hao and test just how strong Shi Xuan really was.

However, Shi Xuan certainly had the right to be arrogant. After all, what young man wouldn't be arrogant if he could become a disciple of a Saint and even his personal apprentice?

People like Shi Xuan, who are not well-known, are actually quite unusual.

Within the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty, countless eyes were fixed intently on Shi Xuan.

Even though Shi Xuan said back then that he would not return to the Northern Wasteland Northern Wasteland to inherit the throne, they still did not want a Saint to appear in the Northern Wasteland Imperial Dynasty.

If Shi Xuan and Shi Hao were to both be severely injured here, with neither having any hope of becoming a saint, that would be the best outcome.

It was worthwhile for the Sacred Dao Academy to have nurtured Shi Hao all these years.

Only one beautiful figure watched Shi Hao's retreating figure, tightly clenching her hands, silently praying in her heart, "Brother Shi Hao, you must win, you must come back alive."

Upon hearing Shi Xuan's words, Shi Hao's expression changed slightly, and his aura surged forth.

An aura of the Dao Integration Realm instantly enveloped an area of dozens of miles, including Shi Xuan, preventing him from escaping.

"Shi Xuan, do you know what I hate most about you?"

Tell me about it?

Shi Xuan didn't rush to make a move, and calmly asked in return.

What I hate most is your condescending attitude, as if everything I have was given to me as a gift.

As Shi Hao spoke, his aura grew increasingly powerful. A holy light enveloped him, and that holy light transformed into a black dragon Faxiang that appeared behind him.

"Saint Physique Completed!"

The onlookers present were all top-tier experts from the Profound Continent, and they immediately recognized Shi Hao's extraordinary abilities.

The completion of the Saint Physique means that Shi Hao will at least awaken the Divine Physique during his Nirvana, and if he has a great opportunity, he may even awaken the Immortal Physique.

"You're quite self-aware."

Shi Xuan spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Snort!"

Shi Hao sneered, "Today I will drag you down from your pedestal and tear off your hypocritical mask!"

"If you have the ability, it's not impossible, but with your current level of Saint Physique perfection, it's probably not enough."

As Shi Xuan spoke, divine light shone from his body, and the aura of the Dao Integration Realm was also released.

The oppressive aura that had enveloped him was instantly shattered by his own aura.

This comparison clearly shows the difference in their abilities.

Everyone remained silent, but their opinion of Shi Xuan improved.

The bigwigs of the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty looked rather grim upon seeing this scene; Shi Xuan was growing up even faster than they had imagined.

How exactly does the Great Sage Qiankun train his disciples?

Upon seeing this, the girl's face turned deathly pale, but the next second she realized something was wrong. Shi Xuan's aura gave her a sense of déjà vu, as if she had felt this aura somewhere before.

Shi Hao, the person involved, remained unfazed, and even revealed a hint of excitement.

The stronger Shi Xuan is, the more exhilarating his next battle will be.

Clang!

Shi Hao suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Shi Xuan, saying, "Draw your sword! Even a Nirvana Realm cultivator might not be able to withstand this strike."

Shi Xuan smiled and said unhurriedly, "You wouldn't compare me, a disciple of Saint, to those who Nirvana in the secular world, would you?"

"Still being stubborn? Now I'll show you this sword strike!"

As Shi Hao spoke, he thrust his sword toward the direction where Shi Xuan was.

"The Dragon Roars Through the Nine Heavens!"

Clang!

The sword is drawn, and the true dragon appears!

Shi Hao's Sword Intent transformed into a true dragon and roared towards Shi Xuan.

The combined power of the sword and the dragon astonished countless cultivators present.

"Sword Intent Great Perfection!"

"It's the third day, and finally a disciple with Sword Intent Great Perfection has appeared!"

"The Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty has produced a prodigy! He has already cultivated his Sword Intent to perfection at the Dao Integration Realm. Given time, he will surely Great Sage!"

The bigwigs of the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this scene. Now, no matter how strong Shi Xuan was, he would only suffer mutual damage with Shi Hao.

Is that all the skill you've got?

After speaking, Shi Xuan casually drew his longsword and swung it at the true dragon formed from the Sword Intent...
