The battle was over. Ye Qingwu walked off the arena, her face pale and gravely injured.
Lin Xuan looked apologetic. "Senior Sister, I’m sorry. You suffered because of . But rest assured, I will avenge you. I won’t spare that Little Celestial King."
"You... be careful... he’s very strong," Ye Qingwu said haltingly before fainting.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master exclaid in shock and quickly took her back to the resting area. She unleashed a stream of moonlight that enveloped Ye Qingwu, channeling Spiritual Power into her. The elders hurriedly took out Elixirs for Ye Qingwu to consu.
The other spectators exclaid continuously.
"Damn, that Little Celestial King’s thods are too ruthless."
"He actually severely injured Ye Qingwu!"
"His strength is off the charts! He must have entered the top tier."
"Damn, I’m really looking forward to the Little Celestial King versus Lin Xuan!"
"Both are newly-risen top-tier geniuses, a pair of dark horses."
"And there’s a grudge between them. Their fight will be absolutely thrilling!"
"I can’t wait either."
The Little Celestial King stood on the arena, looked at Lin Xuan, and said, "When you face , you’ll end up ten tis more miserable than her!" With that, he arrogantly walked off the stage.
The matches continued.
「A day later, it was the Little Celestial King’s turn to fight again.」
The crowd was once again filled with anticipation. The Little Celestial King was incredibly powerful, and everyone wondered who his opponent would be this ti. The geniuses of the second tier all closed their eyes, praying in their hearts. Please don’t let it be us. They didn’t dare to face the Little Celestial King. Not only was he powerful, but his thods were also ruthless. Against him, unless one surrendered imdiately, the outco would be miserable.
At that mont, the Array beneath Lin Xuan’s feet lit up.
The crowd exclaid, "Lin Xuan!"
"The Little Celestial King’s opponent is actually Lin Xuan!"
At these words, countless heads turned to look at Lin Xuan. The second-tier geniuses also opened their eyes. Seeing the glowing Array at Lin Xuan’s feet, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it wasn’t them facing the Little Celestial King. Imdiately after, however, they grew excited again. Lin Xuan was very strong and had entered the top tier. The Little Celestial King had also entered the top tier. And with the enmity between them... were they finally going to clash? This battle would surely be incredible.
"Finally, it’s my turn!" Lin Xuan stood up, his eyes radiating a piercing light. He turned to look at Ye Qingwu, who had already regained consciousness but still looked pale.
"Senior Sister Ye, I’m going to get revenge for you."
"Be careful," Senior Sister Ye said.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master also said, "Lin Xuan, don’t be reckless. That Little Celestial King is very formidable. Besides the Mountain and River Map and the Clear Lotus Fire, he also possesses the Celestial King’s Ancient Mirror. You must not be careless. If you really can’t win, just concede."
Lin Xuan smiled. "Pavilion Master, rest assured. He’s no match for at all. Just watch. He won’t even be able to take a single punch." After saying this, Lin Xuan walked toward the arena.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master sighed. An elder beside her asked, "What should we do? Lin Xuan doesn’t seem to take the Little Celestial King seriously at all. Isn’t he being too overconfident?"
"Alas, he can’t be persuaded," the Wangyue Pavilion Master shook her head helplessly. She had already warned Lin Xuan to be cautious, but to no avail. With such arrogance, he’s bound to suffer a great loss.
「On the other side.」
The Little Celestial King was ecstatic. "Hahahaha, Lin Xuan! I finally get to face you! I’m going to make you kneel before and admit defeat!" The Little Celestial King had finally found his chance for revenge. He was determined to tornt Lin Xuan thoroughly.
There’s a good show to watch now. The surrounding crowd grew animated.
Chu Yue snorted coldly; this Lin Xuan was about to have a bad ti.
Shangguan Hao clenched his fists in excitent. Go, Little Celestial King! Defeat Lin Xuan and make him kneel! He had been forced to kneel before Lin Xuan previously, so he desperately wanted to see Lin Xuan do the sa. He wanted Lin Xuan to feel the sa humiliation of kneeling.
The top-tier geniuses also focused their attention. These were the two biggest dark horses, who now posed a threat even to them. Naturally, they paid extra attention. Perhaps this battle would reveal all of their trump cards.
Lin Xuan walked onto the arena and said coldly, "Little Celestial King, this ti, even if you kneel before , I won’t spare you. You dared to injure Senior Sister Ye. I will absolutely not let you go. I will get revenge for her!"
"I had no intention of sparing you either. I will repay our old grudge tenfold!" the Little Celestial King said, gritting his teeth.
Lin Xuan snorted coldly. "For hurting Senior Sister Ye, I will repay it a hundredfold."
"A hundredfold?" The Little Celestial King sneered in disdain. "You won’t get the chance. As you are now, you’re no match for ."
As he spoke, the Little Celestial King waved his hand. The Mountain and River Map appeared again, covering the entire arena.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
The arena shook violently, and the surrounding void trembled, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure. The Little Celestial King walked among the created mountains and rivers, a lotus blooming with every step. Countless Clear Lotuses blossod, and a mysterious fire engulfed the entire landscape. A torrential force surged toward Lin Xuan.
"Boy, let’s see how you’ll block this," the Little Celestial King declared, looking down on Lin Xuan from on high.
It was this move again: Every Step a Lotus, Moving Mountains and Rivers. Ye Qingwu had been defeated by this very move. To think the Little Celestial King would use it on Lin Xuan right from the start! This move’s power was terrifying—a fusion of two Ultimate Skills. Even soone from the top tier might not be able to withstand it. How would Lin Xuan counter it? Could he even block it? The crowd exclaid in suspense.
The power of the Mountain and River Map and the Divine Clear Lotus Fire fused, enveloping Lin Xuan and crashing down upon him. The endless mountains and rivers swallowed his figure whole.
"It hit!"
The people around cried out in shock. "Lin Xuan didn’t even counterattack? That’s unbelievable!"
Why did this happen? Why didn’t Lin Xuan fight back? Was he too slow to react? Was Lin Xuan also going to be defeated in an instant?
"Hahahaha!" The people from the Star Pavilion laughed excitedly. "This kid is finally going down!"
Shangguan Hao jumped up in excitent. This is great, Lin Xuan is defeated! Even though I wasn’t the one to beat him, seeing him lose with my own eyes is incredibly satisfying. It would be best if he were severely injured, or even crippled. Shangguan Hao thought with schadenfreude.
Chu Yue sneered disdainfully. Is that all the strength Lin Xuan has? He’s completely powerless against the Mountain and River Map. What a waste! Does soone like that really deserve to be in the top tier? What a joke!
Wan Tianming, Jian Wushuang, and the others also shook their heads, feeling that Lin Xuan was unworthy of being in the top tier.
"He was hit! How could this happen?" The people from Wangyue Pavilion’s faces changed drastically.
"This is bad, Lin Xuan is in danger," Ye Qingwu said, her face pale. She had been hit by this sa move, so she knew exactly how terrifying it was.
"Ai!" The Wangyue Pavilion Master stomped her foot in anger. She had warned Lin Xuan not to be so careless, but the boy just wouldn’t listen. Facing an attack like that, you didn’t even try to dodge. You’re too arrogant! Did you really think you could take that attack head-on? The Wangyue Pavilion Master closed her eyes in despair. She believed Lin Xuan had lost, all because of his own arrogance.
"Hmph, utterly weak," the Little Celestial King sneered. "And here I thought you were so strong. Turns out you can’t even block a single one of my moves."
The Little Celestial King strode forward, preparing to tornt Lin Xuan.
