[Good! Well killed!]
[Well executed, "fight fire with fire"!]
[How could Izumo upstarts possibly provoke a Spirit Refining Expert~]
Seeing Lu Yao efficiently kill his enemy, a wave of enthusiastic applause and cheers broke out from the crowd.
Three delighted and proud won welcod their man back, their faces excitedly flushed and their eyes sparkling with unusual brilliance.
"Lu Yao~ you were amazing!"
"Junior Martial Brother Lu, well done!"
The girls, not without a bit of vanity, felt utterly delighted under the envious and jealous gazes of those around them.
However, so spectatores had a hard ti disguising their unpleasant expressions. Xiao Zan and Xiang Cheng's corners of the mouth drooped, cursing the Izumo people as trash in their hearts.
The military officer from the Izumo Embassy, Mitsuomi Kamiya, frowned and said, "We've completely failed to gauge this person's level... Go, adjust the fighting order, I need to observe this person's strength further."
"Yes, sir!" A subordinate bowed and headed towards the largest stand.
At this mont, the Izumo people around Mitsuomi Kamiya were all dressed as Shun Dynasty citizens, not drawing any attention to themselves.
These were all infiltrating spies!
~~~~~~~~~
On the largest stand, two officials overseeing the martial arts tournant were seated in charge.
"It's really rare~ three parties are spending silver to target Lu Yao! It's one thing for Izumo and the Xiang Family, but what is the Xiao Family thinking? Xiao Zan actually wants to kill Lu Yao, too."
An Dehai put away several silver bills, secretly changed Lu Yao's combat sequence, and then whispered so instructions to his subordinates, as if there were so unscrupulous plan afoot.
"Steward An, this may not be good," said Yuan Kaisheng, who saw through the man's tricks clear as day, frowning as he spoke: "If an outsider snatches the top position, it might be hard to explain to the Empress Dowager."
"Haha, Lord Yuan worries too much," laughed An Dehai. "The Empress Dowager is only concerned with the 'na'; it doesn't matter who wins the crown. This competition is just to build montum for the Longevity Feast."
Yuan Kaisheng pondered for a mont, then remained silent.
~~~~~~~~
A Western Knight wielding a thrusting sword was beheaded by a slash from an Izumo Warrior; then, it was Lu Yao's turn to take the stage.
Upon ascending the platform, he found his opponent was actually Xiao Zan!
Soone in the audience said, [The two favorites for the title are eting so early.]
[It's going to be a battle between dragons and tigers!]
[Have you guys heard about the history between these two families?]
[I've caught wind of it…]
The referee proceeded to inspect as usual, but this ti his gaze was shifty and he looked sowhat nervous.
The match began.
"Junior Martial Brother Lu, do you think you're invincible within the Blood-Exchange Realm after achieving Spirit Refinent of Divine Fetal Breathing?"
Standing firm with his lance, Xiao Zan, taking advantage of the pause, said, "Even disregarding the fact that you've just entered Blood-Exchange and have not yet reached even the minor accomplishnt stage of 'Internal Breath Burning'?"
Lu Yao extended his palm, gathered his Inner Breath, and the air in the palm of his hand seed sowhat blurred. "Actually, I have reached it. I've been hard at work for over ten days~"
Xiao Zan: "..."
Xiao Zan's handso face grew fierce: "Enough! In the end, it all cos down to strength! I have achieved 'Spirit Refinent Firmness,' and you can try to see — whether you can wrest my weapon away!"
Upon saying this, the Great Lance in his hand began to quiver! The body of the lance vibrated intensely, its tip seed to select soone to devour, and the entire Great Lance transford into an unruly Black Dragon!
In the very next mont, the Black Dragon lunged at Lu Yao.
A Blood-Exchange Warrior's punches, kicks, or weapon strikes all have destructive power far surpassing bullets.
With the strength of tens of thousands of pounds and the addition of explosive power, such a terrifying kinetic energy is brewed — a common person taking a hit would instantly be torn apart.
Lu Yao entered the Spirit Refining State and, after dodging twice, had to admit that this person was indeed skilled, and what's more, possessed a cruel heart.
There was sothing off about the opponent's Great Lance!
Divine Sense Perception began to sound the alarm, and Lu Yao even slled a hint of sweetness, realizing that Xiao Zan, that despicable man, actually dared to deceive!
The spearhead was problematic! This feeling was very familiar—it sapped the vital energies, the sa effect as the Withering Bullet!
Having perford surgery on Fu Fang twice, Lu Yao knew all too well how disgusting this thing was.
Xiao Zan sneered, "Ha, brother-in-law, it seems you've realized it. This spearhead was provided by the Izumo People, so practical that it takes effect as soon as it breaks the skin. You'd better dodge well, don't get hurt~"
He wasn't being kind-hearted at all; by exhausting all his strength to dodge, not only could Lu Yao not counterattack, but he would also burn up more stamina, and sooner or later, he would still die.
Then, Xiao Zan launched "Blood Battle in All Directions," turning the Black Dragon into a series of dark shadows that completely enveloped Lu Yao, leaving him no chance to surrender.
Any lapse in concentration would instantly result in being dismbered by the Great Lance.
The longer the weapon, the greater its advantage; under the onslaught of the Black Dragon, Lu Yao's dodges grew increasingly difficult and slow, suddenly exposing a huge vulnerability!
Xiao Zan let out a disdainful smile, believing that offering vulnerabilities as a tactic was common, but against an equally matched opponent, a false vulnerability would turn into a real one!
"Blue Dragon Bearing Sorrow!" Xiao Zan roared as he released his breath, and a thunderous rumble erged from his mouth and nose as he executed the powerful individual killing technique, thrusting the spear forward fiercely.
The Black Dragon swiftly vanished from his retina, lunging towards Lu Yao's head, abruptly drilling into his brain!
Xiao Zan was overjoyed! By killing a Spirit Refining of Divine Fetal Breathing, he would certainly gain imnse fa! Fa leads to fortune, fa precedes success!
With one less competitor, as soone already favored to win the championship, securing a spot among the top three and achieving the title of "Martial Scholar" seed within easy reach!
Today would be a day of great harvest!
Xiao Zan, beaming with joy, shook his Great Lance, completely mangling the enemy's head.
But with his extensive combat experience, he quickly sensed that sothing was wrong with his feel. The enemy before him suddenly vanished—it was a decoy!
"Not good!" Without a second word, Xiao Zan made a swift about-turn thrust with his spear, but it was already too late.
Lu Yao had just executed the recently learned "Moon Shadow Body." This technique, which he himself had mastered in less than two days, was unknown to others; he succeeded in deceiving Xiao Zan.
Lu Yao dodged the opponent's about-turn thrust, and a "Crumbling Fist" thundered onto his spine. This technique, from the 'Detailed Explanation of Crumbling Energy,' allowed the destructive force to burst forth completely within the enemy's body.
A muffled sound was heard, and it was as if fireworks had exploded inside Xiao Zan's back, blasting outward from within.
Enduring the agony, he used the montum of Lu Yao's attack to activate "Eave Dragon Stake" to take cover on the ground, shooting far away in the blink of an eye.
While maneuvering like a serpent, he shouted, "I. Sur. Render!"
The surrender was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, showing a strong desire to survive!

But… Lu Yao had already struck the mont Xiao Zan shouted "I."
~~~~~~~~
Xiao Zan might be scrambling energetically on the ground, but Lu Yao didn't take him seriously. Picking up the opponent's long spear, he threw it with all his might while in the Spirit Refining State.
The long spear turned into a black shadow, striking the target precisely—right in the buttocks!
Xiao Zan scread in agony, suddenly sporting a nearly two-ter-long tail.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!" A world-shaking scream reverberated throughout the venue, as referees and servants hastily ca forward to check on him.
"Young master, what's happened to you?"
"Quick, pull it out ah ah ah ah! Uh…" Having been penetrated by a tal object as thick as a duck egg and feeling violated, Xiao Zan was about to attempt self-rescue.
But with the effect of the Withering Bullet on the spearhead, which had stabbed from his buttocks into his abdon, quickly activated and drained all his vitality and strength.
Xiao Zan lay on the ground with a powerless and delicate expression, looking sowhat ravishing.
Dozens of dostic and international journalists, with caras at the ready, furiously snapped pictures of his facial expressions!
Soone said, "Xiao Zan, why don't you pull it out quickly, instead of appearing to enjoy it?"
