At this mont, beside the platform, the photographer sitting on the elevated area very considerately started to circle around Xue Jing, providing a full coverage, three hundred and sixty-degree surround footage...This was a treatnt none of the previous competitors had received.
The cara moved from his front to his side, captured his back, made a full circle, and ca back to the front.
And at the end of this set of footage, Xue Jing slightly turned his head towards the cara and gave a faint smile to the lens.
The venue fell suddenly quiet for a mont.
Then...
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
"Ahhhhhhh! I'm dead!"
"Husband, husband, oh my husband ahhhh!!!"
Piercing screams that almost ruptured the eardrums filled the air, and Xue Wan hurriedly covered her ears, a mix of annoyance and pride in her voice, "Look at these people making a fuss as if they've never seen the world... "
She turned towards classmates like Zhao Lu and found that they all had beco completely motionless, frozen in place.
"Eh? What's wrong with you guys?"
Zhao Lu was the first to snap out of it and sincerely took Xue Wan's hand:
"Sister-in-law!"
Xue Wan: "?"
...
"Wow~ Competitor Xue Jing, making waves the mont he appears."
"This competitor, coincidentally, is from Qingcheng just like Competitor Li Chengxuan, and belongs to the Galaxy Martial Arts Club, practicing the 'Hidden Dragon School' style."
"He is a seed player for the Galaxy Club, directly participating in the knockout competition, with no prior record of matches, and today is his debut as a newcor, standing in the arena for the first ti."
"According to the records, he is also an Elite Class student from Qingcheng University's Affiliated Middle School... wow, he is truly talented and handso."
"Hexagonal data chart... hmm, none, it's all question marks."
The voice of comntator Hao Yongyun echoed throughout the venue.
On the platform, Li Chengxuan, holding a dark gold Eight-Sided Han Sword, looked at Xue Jing with a focused gaze and slowly began to speak:
"It's been a while since we last t, Xue Jing."
"I was careless last ti, but this ti, you won't be so lucky."
Xue Jing glanced at him, perplexed, "You are?"
Li Chengxuan: "..."
"Heh, playing this ga, are you? No matter, I'll quickly make you rember."
Li Chengxuan twirled his Han Sword into a flourish.
"I haven't been idle during this ti; actually, I have to thank you. 'No destruction without reconstruction.' After my injuries healed, my Power has transford, reaching the 'Severing Unhindered' realm."
He pointed his Han Sword diagonally towards the ground, and without any observable movent, rely by releasing his Power, a streak of Sword Qi shot out from the tip of the sword, piercing a hole through the platform floor.
"See this? This is Sword Qi, I can now wield Sword Qi!"
"A realm in swordsmanship many Martial Artists will never reach in their lifetis, I've achieved it!"
"Now, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to hold back and might accidentally kill you with one strike..."
Xue Jing smiled and did not reply.
"Oh? It looks like the two competitors are talking about sothing, do they know each other? That makes sense, both from the sa hotown of Qingcheng and both young prodigies, it's normal for them to have mutual admiration."
"Li Chengxuan, with Sword Qi! He can actually use Sword Qi! As expected of the biggest dark horse in this U19 competition, Li Chengxuan has shocked us once again!"
"It seems like this is going to be a very exciting match. How will these two young hotown prodigies surprise us? Let's wait and see!"
In the middle of the platform, the referee ca between the two.
"Competitors, please take your positions."
"Ready..."
"Begin!"
The referee extended his hand toward the center between the two, then imdiately retreated, swiftly exiting the ring.
anwhile, in the arena, neither of the two made a move for a mont.
The audience watched the center of the arena with expectant eyes.
"Clang—"
Xue Jing slowly unsheathed the Crouching Rabbit Sword in his hand.
Then he spoke in a soft voice,
"I will strike only once."
"If you can withstand it, there will only be victory or defeat, if not, it will be a matter of life or death."
Li Chengxuan frowned, "What are you sayi—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Xue Jing's pupils suddenly changed.
Dark golden vertical pupils appeared.
—Eye-Penetrating Flow.
Then, the divinity of silver-white stained his pupils.
Li Chengxuan's entire body suddenly tensed up, his scalp tingled, and alarm bells rang wildly in his heart.
He felt a strong sense of crisis sweeping over him, like a herbivore facing the top predator of the food chain.
In that instant, he almost wanted to turn and run away in a frenzy, disregarding everything else!
What on earth is up with this man!!?
He's completely different from before!
"Heaven's will is like a knife that cannot be defied."
Xue Jing's tone was cool and contemptuous with divinity.
"Pray."
"What you face is the will of heaven."
"All you can do is pray."
"Boom!!"
Thunderous lightning exploded, resounding throughout the arena.
In a flash of sword light, the black True Dragon turned into a pitch-black tornado.
Along the way, the sturdy floor of the ring was churned, carving out a spiral-shaped deep groove, bricks and dirt were caught up in the tornado, carrying a formidable vigor, raging towards Li Chengxuan.
Li Chengxuan's gaze was blank, his hand holding the Eight-Sided Han Sword slightly trembled.
How could he fight this?
His eyes filled with despair, he simply concentrated his Power and thrust his Han Sword.
The Sword Qi was released, easily engulfed by the violent tornado.
It looked as though he was trying to confront a raging Tyrannosaurus with a toothpick, an act as ludicrous as a mayfly shaking a tree or a mantis blocking a chariot.
In despair, Li Chengxuan was swallowed whole by the black monstrosity on the spot.
After the tornado passed, the entire venue fell silent.
"What was it that you said you were capable of just now?"
"Sword Qi?"
Xue Jing slightly tilted his head, looking at the disfigured body of Li Chengxuan on the ground, and asked.
...
