Lin Xuan’s match was over, but the discussions among the crowd had not ended.
They exclaid, "The first tier has another mber!"
"Lin Xuan has squeezed into the first tier!"
"I feel like he can make it into the top ten!"
"This trip was definitely worth it."
The crowd went wild with excitent. Even the elders of the royal clan were incredibly astonished. Truth be told, Lin Xuan’s strength had also exceeded their expectations, especially the World-Ending Dragon’s Might he displayed. The aura of his Dragon Dao was extrely formidable.
"This young man is truly amazing! No wonder he wasn’t willing to forfeit the competition."
"He has a chance to break into the top ten this ti."
"Ah, we were all wrong about him."
"Isn’t he just a five-star Martial General? Yet he possesses the cultivation of a half-step Grandmaster."
"He’s really fighting across five cultivation realms!"
"Is this the Saint Talent? It’s truly heaven-defying."
"Even Chu Zhongtian doesn’t possess such a talent."
"If this young man is allowed to mature, his future will be boundless."
The elders chattered endlessly, eagerly anticipating the day Lin Xuan would reach his full potential. By then, the Great Xia Country might beco renowned worldwide because of him.
The people of Wangyue Pavilion were extrely excited. Lin Xuan’s strength was beyond their wildest dreams.
"Lin Xuan also entered the first tier! This is great, truly great."
If things went smoothly, Lin Xuan could make it into the top ten.
And then there was Ye Qingwu. As one of the top three in the second tier, she should be able to make it into the top 30. This ti, Wangyue Pavilion’s final ranking would surely be dazzling. Thinking of this, everyone from Wangyue Pavilion laughed with excitent.
Next, the competition continued. When it was Lin Xuan’s turn to take the stage, his opponent conceded imdiately. It was a joke to even try. Lin Xuan was now a powerhouse in the first tier; they were simply no match for him, so it was better to just forfeit.
Ye Qingwu also fought several tis, displaying formidable strength as she defeated several more second-tier prodigies.
The crowd exclaid, "Ye Qingwu must be one of the top contenders in the second tier."
As for Star Pavilion, their situation was bleak. Aside from the prodigy Chu Yue, both Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang had perford poorly. Leng Rushuang was seriously injured, and after forcibly burning her Spiritual Power, she was now extrely weak and completely unable to participate in the upcoming matches. What about Shangguan Hao? Although he wasn’t injured, the ntal blow he suffered was imnse, making him unable to unleash his true power either. It was estimated that he no longer had a chance of making it into the top 30. At most, he could only aim for the top 50. This left the people of Star Pavilion utterly desperate.
Besides them, there was another very powerful prodigy in the second tier: the Young Celestial King. He was also undefeated so far. The strength he displayed was formidable, even more so than Ye Qingwu’s. So even thought the Young Celestial King was qualified to challenge the first tier.
This guy is strong! Ye Qingwu stared at the Young Celestial King’s silhouette and said, "If I face him, I might not win!"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly. He had previously said Ye Qingwu was the second strongest in the second tier for a reason: the strongest was this Young Celestial King.
The Young Celestial King had rged with the Clear Lotus Fire, significantly enhancing his strength. He also had two treasures: the Celestial King’s Bone Creation Mirror and the Mountain and River Map. These two treasures were even more terrifying than ordinary Grandmaster-level weapons. Thus, the Young Celestial King’s strength was incredibly heaven-defying. He still maintained a perfect, undefeated record.
After easily defeating his opponent, the Young Celestial King turned to stare at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and ignored him completely. The Young Celestial King might have been a worthy opponent before, but now, he’s not even qualified. He’s too weak.
"It’s my turn again." The Array under Ye Qingwu’s feet lit up. Taking a deep breath, she walked onto the stage.
The rest of the crowd cheered. "Ye Qingwu is about to fight again! I wonder who her opponent is this ti?"
"Great, we get to see Fairy Ye use the One Sword of Wind and Thunder again!"
The people from Wangyue Pavilion murmured, "As long as it’s not soone from the first tier, it’ll be fine." With Ye Qingwu’s current strength, she should win as long as she didn’t encounter soone from the first tier.
From afar, the Array under the Young Celestial King’s feet lit up.
"Is it my turn? My opponent is Ye Qingwu."
Interesting. Ye Qingwu is Lin Xuan’s senior sister. Since I can’t face Lin Xuan, I’ll start with her.
The Young Celestial King let out a cold laugh and strode onto the stage.
The surrounding crowd erupted. "The Young Celestial King! It’s the Young Celestial King!"
"Heavens, is Fairy Ye going to duel the Young Celestial King?"
"Both of them are top contenders in the second tier!"
"Perhaps this battle will decide who is truly number one in the second tier!"
Everyone beca excited, and the entire venue was in an uproar, with countless people shouting.
The people from Wangyue Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t soone from the first tier, they weren’t too worried. Although the Young Celestial King’s previous performance was impressive, Ye Qingwu was no slouch either. In a battle between the two, it was truly hard to say who would win or lose. Ye Qingwu should have a fifty percent chance of winning.
On the other side, the mbers of the Prince’s Mansion were smiling.
"The Young Prince is guaranteed to win."
"Of course. The Young Prince’s current strength is almost enough to enter the first tier. No matter how strong Ye Qingwu is, she’s no match for him."
On the stage, the Young Celestial King looked at Ye Qingwu and said, "Fairy Ye, I have no personal grudge against you, but who told you to be Lin Xuan’s senior sister? Because of that, I won’t be holding back. Don’t bla . If you must bla soone, bla Lin Xuan for offending ."
"Hmph! Cut the crap," Ye Qingwu snorted coldly. She drew the longsword from her waist as the power of wind and thunder burst from her body.
People in the crowd exclaid, "Damn, Wind and Thunder Sword Qi!"
"Is Fairy Ye going to use the One Sword of Wind and Thunder?"
"She’s using her strongest move right from the start?"
"Is she going for a one-hit victory?"
The Young Celestial King sneered at the sight. "What, trying to end this quickly? Fine, I’ll grant your wish."
With a wave of his hand, a scroll appeared in the air. The painting unfurled, revealing a magnificent landscape of mountains and rivers.
"It’s the Mountain and River Map!" the crowd gasped. This was an incredibly powerful weapon that had previously trapped many second-tier prodigies.
Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He was no stranger to the Mountain and River Map, having torn one apart before. He hadn’t expected his opponent to have another one. However, this Mountain and River Map was far more terrifying than the one he had destroyed. I wonder if Ye Qingwu can withstand it. Lin Xuan felt a little worried.
"The Mountain and River Map can’t trap ," Ye Qingwu declared with a cold snort. She had witnessed its power before and was confident her One Sword of Wind and Thunder could tear it apart.
"Is that so? Then what if I add this?" the Young Celestial King sneered.
He waved his hand, and the Mountain and River Map rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire stage. The scenery on the stage transford as countless illusions of mountains and rivers materialized, so vivid they seed real. The Young Celestial King walked among them, and with every step he took, a Clear Lotus blossod swiftly under his feet. Lotuses blood with his every step.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
Wan Tianming exclaid in shock, "That’s... the Clear Lotus Fire! He actually completely absorbed the Clear Lotus Fire!"
This was unbelievable. Many people had obtained wisps of the Clear Lotus Fire before. It was a top-grade Spiritual Fire of infinite power, but they hadn’t been able to fully absorb it because it was too difficult. Unexpectedly, the Young Celestial King had actually succeeded.
Within the landscape of mountains and rivers, blossoms of Clear Lotuses blood one after another as a scorching aura swept across the heavens and the earth.
"With every step a lotus blooms, moving the mountains and rivers!" the Young Celestial King shouted coldly. The power of the lotuses rged with the power of the mountains and rivers, surging toward Ye Qingwu.
Ye Qingwu’s body trembled. She couldn’t let the Young Celestial King continue any further; she had to strike now.
"One Sword of Wind and Thunder!"
She unleashed her strongest attack, lunging forward.
The mountains and rivers shook violently, as if they were about to be split apart by her sword. In the next instant, the two forces collided.
BOOM!
A thunderous sound exploded as the mountains and rivers trembled violently. A destructive aura swept out in all directions, causing the crowd to cry out in alarm.
Suddenly, a figure was sent flying backward, her blood staining the illusory landscape.
"It’s Fairy Ye! She’s injured!" the crowd shouted.
"Hmph. Can’t even withstand a single move from . Utterly useless," the Young Celestial King’s arrogant voice rang out.
The crowd was stunned.
A one-hit defeat! It was actually a one-hit defeat! Unbelievable!
They never expected Ye Qingwu to be defeated in a single move. This was completely different from what they had imagined. They had thought it would be a fierce battle between equals!
Could it be that the Young Celestial King’s strength had surpassed the second tier? Could he be a first-tier prodigy as well? Because only a first-tier prodigy could achieve such an instant victory.
Was the Young Celestial King really that strong?
After defeating Ye Qingwu, the Young Celestial King turned his head and stared at Lin Xuan, his voice cold as he declared, "You’re next!"
