Due to the severe damage to the competition arena, the rest period for this battle was significantly extended, providing the top ten contestants with more ti to adjust.
Behind the arena, the Sunset Gate shimred brightly, seemingly sensing the substantial increase in the level of the Sunset Chosen Power compared to the previous tournant. The entire arena’s solidity and the strength of the defensive barrier had both been enhanced significantly.
After about an hour.
"Next match, Tuoba Yan versus Ao Jue!"
The puppet referee announced the matchup for the next contest with an expressionless face.
"Ao Jue?"
Tuoba Yan showed a bitter smile on her face, never expecting to encounter such a formidable opponent like Ao Jue in the first battle of the top ten competition.
Ling Feng glanced at Tuoba Yan and said lightly, "Yan’er, just do your best."
Tuoba Yan nodded. Although under the guidance of Hui Yue Saintess, she had unleashed the potential of the Xuanyin Body and her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, her experience in fighting against such strong opponents like Ao Jue was still too limited.
Swish! Swish!
Two figures swept onto the arena.
Ao Jue stared deeply at Tuoba Yan with so wariness and said in a deep voice, "Junior Tuoba Yan, please proceed. I am eager to see if you possess the combat strength of a top-tier Heavenly Pride!"
The East Spirit Immortal Pond had continuously produced terrifying disciples like Ling Feng and Yeu Linglong. For a ti, the overall strength of the East Spirit Immortal Pond had risen to an almost incomprehensible level.
Tuoba Yan, being a direct disciple of Hui Yue Saintess and possessing the Power of Destiny from the Three Phases Heavenly Dragon, made it impossible for Ao Jue to underestimate her.
After all, it was due to carelessness that Gongsun Long was pushed back by Yeu Linglong in just one move, a classic example of failing surprisingly.
"Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Shocking Sky Change!"
From the start, Ao Jue unleashed his strongest Qi Blood Power.
He wanted to knock Tuoba Yan back with a single move as quickly as possible, to avoid giving her any opportunity to exploit.
After all, from the battle with Ling Feng, he had consud a significant amount of energy, and even though he had a period of rest in between, he hadn’t yet recovered to his peak combat strength.
Regarding Tuoba Yan, he didn’t want to spend too much ti.
Therefore, the best way was to defeat her in one blow; otherwise, unforeseen circumstances might arise.
"Junior Tuoba Yan, be careful!"
Ao Jue’s face tightened, and he punched fiercely, with each punch packed with strength that could nearly shatter the galaxy.
Swish!—
The crowd could only see Ao Jue’s figure frozen in place, unmoving.
But from the battle between Ao Jue and Ling Feng, they understood that this was rely a residual image left when he moved at extre speed; with Ao Jue’s physical strength, he could already break the void with power.
Indeed, in a flash, Ao Jue’s real body had already approached Tuoba Yan, delivering a fierce punch to her lower abdon.
Hui Yue Saintess was skilled in Soul Dao Secret Techniques and controlling Cold Moon Power, so Tuoba Yan, as her disciple, should be similar to Hui Yue Saintess.
This type of cultivator is most afraid of being engaged in close-quarters combat with the enemy.
The spectators below couldn’t help but express regret.
Given Tuoba Yan’s petite fra, if she took Ao Jue’s punch, this fight might end imdiately.
Boom!
A terrifying force, laden with shattering divine power, struck out rcilessly.
After all, with the puppet referee intervening at the critical mont, Tuoba Yan would at most suffer severe injuries, but her life wouldn’t be in danger.
To avoid failing unexpectedly, Ao Jue had no choice but to take advantage of his superiority in this instance.
After all, he had already lost to Ling Feng once, and losing one more round ant his rank would drop by one place.
Yunluo Sacred Land could no longer afford to take a step back.
The puppet referee on the side indeed shook slightly, seemingly preparing to step in and rescue, but for so reason, stopped.
Crack!—
The sound of ice shattering replaced the anticipated sound of Tuoba Yan’s painful groan in everyone’s imagination.
Focusing their eyes, they saw Tuoba Yan raising her delicate hand, turning everything within three ters of her into extrely hard ice crystals, freezing even herself inside.
Ao Jue’s punch caused the massive ice block to crack and eventually shatter with a loud boom.
But the massive ice block dissolved most of the punch’s power, leaving only a minimal portion for Tuoba Yan to endure.
With a light grunt, Tuoba Yan, having never ventured into the Body Refining Path, had her frail body as her greatest shortcoming. Even the residual power of Ao Jue’s punch still carried terrifying force.
Yet despite her pale face, there was still a trace of joy on her beautiful face.
It seed that the shield ford by her control over the Cold Moon Power could barely resist Ao Jue’s force.
"Xuanyin Body, truly remarkable!"
In the Elders’ seats, the elders from both Five Thunders Sacred Land and Yunluo Sacred Land looked at each other in astonishnt, thinking that if even a terrifying woman like Hui Yue Saintess had found a direct disciple, they were secretly troubled.
If Tuoba Yan were to grow to the level of Hui Yue Saintess, the other two sects would likely be even more oppressed.
Ling Feng also slightly narrowed his eyes. Although Tuoba Yan’s control over Cold Moon Power wasn’t nearly as effective as Hui Yue Saintess’, she was at least starting to display so power.
Having personally fought Ao Jue, he was well aware of the terrifying force Ao Jue summoned when using "Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Shocking Sky Change."
If Tuoba Yan’s Ice Crystal Shield could withstand Ao Jue’s punch, then she could at least endure the destructive force of his Eighty Dragon Power without using the "Holy Spirit Technique."
Hence, even though Tuoba Yan had never practiced Body Refining Technique, having such a layer of defense was sufficient for self-preservation.
Considering this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel so envy towards Tuoba Yan. Under Hui Yue Saintess’ guidance for a year, Tuoba Yan’s growth rate was even on par with his own.
However, such a situation was rare; after all, both Tuoba Yan and Hui Yue Saintess possessed the Xuanyin Body, a physique one in a million, and having Hui Yue Saintess as her ntor with the sa physique was indeed Tuoba Yan’s fortuitous fate.
On the arena.
Ao Jue was sowhat incredulous as he glanced at Tuoba Yan, realizing that this woman, too, was not to be underestimated!
This ti around, all the disciples from East Spirit Immortal Pond who entered the top ten were monsters!
Shi Haoxuan’s strength was formidable enough, Ling Feng had defeated him, Yeu Linglong and Ye Ting were almost evenly matched, and this Tuoba Yan was incredibly formidable!
In comparison, Gu Changfeng, once touted as the second strongest in East Spirit Immortal Pond, appeared to be quite diocre.
Tuoba Yan cried out clearly, "Be careful, Senior Brother!"
Ao Jue’s pupils shrank, secretly thinking sothing was amiss, and in the next instant, a three-ter ice crystal suddenly appeared under his feet!
His expression changed slightly, and Ao Jue hurriedly channeled the rolling Qi Blood Power, imdiately infusing it into the soles of his feet.
Crack!
Crack!
The sound of ice shattering continued!
Ao Jue stamped his foot, dispersing terrifying Qi Force, shattering all of Tuoba Yan’s Cold Moon Ice Crystals.
However, he himself was also constantly pushed back by the successive ice crystals, creating more distance between him and Tuoba Yan.
Even with the Ice Crystal Shield protecting her, Tuoba Yan did not dare to let Ao Jue get close; her preferred combat style relied on Cold Moon Power and Divine Soul attacks for long-range suppression.
