Ten minutes later, the host stood on the arena and announced to the crowd, "To ensure fairness, the semifinals will be decided by randomly drawing lots to determine the matchups between the six contestants."
At this point, a blue sphere appeared in front of the host. The host reached into the blue sphere and pulled out a ball: "Number one is Eastern Cloud Dragon."
He then drew five more balls. According to the sequence they were drawn, the semifinal matchups were as follows: "Eastern Cloud Dragon VS Xin Shenggu, Mu Yun VS Li Qing, Invincible Wind Queen VS Jiang Wei’s Sword."
Amidst thunderous cheers, Eastern Cloud Dragon and Xin Shenggu walked onto the arena. The two exchanged a smile, and Eastern Cloud Dragon said smoothly, "Brother Xin, I didn’t expect us to et here today."
"I’ve waited for this day a long ti. Co on, I want everyone to know that my strength is not inferior to yours!"
Xin Shenggu’s weapon was also a Divine Artifact Level treasured sword, nad Dragon Spring.
The na Dragon Spring was true to its nature, with the blade entwined with blue dragon patterns and a jewel shining with blue light on the hilt. As Dragon Spring was drawn, the Holy Light in Eastern Cloud Dragon’s hand emitted a strong radiance, the two treasured swords clashing and rebounding in an instant.
Xin Shenggu swung his sword like the wind, his circular sword strokes producing countless Phantom Sword Flowers in an instant, dazzling those watching. Eastern Cloud Dragon, instead of retreating, advanced, as the light of the Holy Light turned from illusion to reality, transforming into over ten small swords identical in appearance to the Holy Light. These small swords did not attack but circled around Eastern Cloud Dragon, blocking Xin Shenggu’s attacks.
"Soaring Dragon River Roar!" Xin Shenggu thrust his sword toward Eastern Cloud Dragon’s face, accompanied by a dragon roar, a giant blue dragon surged towards Eastern Cloud Dragon.
"Divine Shield!"
Eastern Cloud Dragon activated a magic shield like a mage, but he was not solely defensive. Instead, he raised the Holy Light high, and at the mont it shone, several bolts of thunder and lightning struck from the sky! Their target was naturally Xin Shenggu, who didn’t dodge but quickly took a potion and intensified his attack. Eastern Cloud Dragon didn’t expect Xin Shenggu to use such a sinister move and hurriedly retreated.
"Eastern Cloud Dragon! Your opponent is , not Hungry Wolf!" Xin Shenggu suddenly stopped and glared at Eastern Cloud Dragon, "I’m going to attack with all my strength now, and if you persist, all you’ll get is the sha of failure."
Xin Shenggu swung his sword in a circle, took a blue bead from his spatial bag, and crushed it.
"Ping!" With a crisp sound, blue light enveloped Xin Shenggu, and his body began to change. Of course, it wasn’t his flesh that changed but his appearance. Xin Shenggu’s skin slowly grew a kind of keratin, which then turned into scales—Dragon Scales!
Xin Shenggu transford!
"He’s actually from the Dragon Clan!"
The crowd below exclaid loudly. The Dragon Clan was a hidden race in the ga, known as one of the three strongest along with the God and Demon races, with the Dragon Clan being the most prominent.
"No, he’s not actually from the Dragon Clan," You said lightly, your voice only audible to a few people nearby, "He has indeed transford, but it’s only temporary. That was the Heart of the Soaring Dragon. After crushing it, the user has an hour-long transformation into the Dragon Clan."
Eastern Cloud Dragon glanced at you and then shouted, "I’ll accompany you to the end!"
Eastern Cloud Dragon transford as well, but unfortunately, he was enveloped in a gentle light, strange because although the light wasn’t intense, people couldn’t see his true appearance, only the glow of a gentle light ball.
You snorted coldly and then shifted your gaze to the Invincible Wind Queen. Your intuition told you that only one person there posed a threat to you, and that was the Invincible Wind Queen!
Outsiders couldn’t see the Invincible Wind Queen’s appearance and also didn’t know what he was doing at that mont, whether watching the match or sleeping. When you looked at the Invincible Wind Queen, you felt his gaze returned. You nodded to him and then refocused on the arena.
Xin Shenggu and Eastern Cloud Dragon were locked in an intense battle. Eastern Cloud Dragon was surprised by Xin Shenggu’s power, knowing that Xin Shenggu’s original strength was slightly inferior to his own, but now Xin Shenggu’s power had reached an unprecedented level. Could it be—the Heart of the Soaring Dragon!
Yes, only the Heart of the Soaring Dragon could instantly endow soone with trendous power. Eastern Cloud Dragon knew that Xin Shenggu always saw him as the greatest enemy, so he walked this path. Others might not know, but although the Heart of the Soaring Dragon could provide imnse strength, it had severe side effects. After its use, one’s spirit would be greatly damaged, aning that after this battle, Xin Shenggu would have to quit "Arrogance" and spend nearly half a month recuperating in the real world.
Out of respect for his opponent and also for victory, Eastern Cloud Dragon unleashed his true power.
The two masters exchanged high-level martial arts strikes on the arena, the battle was extraordinarily fierce, and the audience was passionately engaged. As the attacks continued, both masters’ stamina was gradually depleting, especially Xin Shenggu, who could no longer stand, while Eastern Cloud Dragon was sowhat better, able to stand barely.
"Falling Thunder!" With Eastern Cloud Dragon’s shout, thunder roared from the sky, turning the entire arena into ruins. Xin Shenggu suffered considerable injuries from this, gritting his teeth and launching his most powerful move, "Dragon Defying Nine Heavens," at the cost of depleting his stamina and spiritual power.
Xin Shenggu’s body was surrounded by intense blue light, an odd magic circle appeared on the arena floor, and with Xin Shenggu’s furious outcry, a giant dragon burst skyward, its dragon head and dragon mouth aiming straight at Eastern Cloud Dragon!
"Heavenly Sword Divine Might!" Eastern Cloud Dragon also used his most powerful move, with a colossal sword crashing down towards Xin Shenggu with an earth-shattering force.
Dragon roars and the heavenly sword broke through the sky. In the spectacular and imnsely powerful moves, both masters ended up in mutual destruction, resulting in a draw! Before eting you, Eastern Cloud Dragon and Xin Shenggu fought to mutual defeat and exhaustion.
After everything ended, the arena was left in ruins.
After the announcer declared the draw, the system refreshed a new arena. In the next match, it’s you VS Li Qing!
Honestly, you were very reluctant to face this woman. This was not because you were afraid of her, but because facing her made you feel exhausted, deeply so. It was a feeling from within. During your self-transcendence training, you once thought alone in the waves, and when the storm and tsunami ca, you suddenly realized you were like a lone and fragile skiff, with only one thought in your mind—to end things quickly, leave the ga, and be happily together with the person you love.
You had seriously considered that even a king has a path to a tender land. Everyone is the sa; everyone needs a haven, a place to liberate the soul. You need a ho, a quiet, warm, and harmonious family.
But your enemies won’t give you that chance, so you must create that opportunity with your hands. You will clear all obstacles in your path; no one can stop your progress.
