Soul Emperor Martial God

On the martial arts arena, Xiao Yi slowly turned around and left.

Then with a swift movement, he returned to the spectator seats.

Among the spectator seats, a series of astonished gazes were cast upon him.

"Amazing, truly worthy of being one of the twin prodigies of the Flame Martial Kingdom."

"This generation of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect has brought forth an outstanding heavenly talent."

Many of the older martial artists expressed their admiration.

Although Xiao Yi's reputation had already spread throughout the East Sea Fortress since the second round,

rumors were just rumors.

Now, witnessing the battle personally and seeing Xiao Yi's performance from start to finish, which took only three moves.

One move to parry with his sword, another move rang out like the tide of sword music, and a final move was the Ice Sky Splitting Slash.

With merely three moves, he had defeated Bing Wujiang, the first prodigy of the Ice Martial Kingdom.

No wonder a host of powerful figures cast admiring glances.

Meanwhile, on the martial arts arena, Bing Wujiang was being helped off the stage by the Ice Martial King.

At the top of the spectator seats, where the Eight Great Commanders were seated, the expressions of the eight were varied.

Emperor Yee glanced at Bing Wujiang and said softly, "His strength isn't great, but his ambition sure isn't small."

The Ice Emperor frowned and remarked, "This Wujiang has top-tier talent, a first-rate Martial Soul, and his strategy is also not lacking."

"He is just too young for now."

"Given time, once his cultivation rises, dominating the world with the Endless Ice Dust isn't hard to achieve."

"At the very least, he will surpass me in the future."

"Correct," the Golden Emperor said with a scornful smile, "Bing Wujiang's Endless Ice Dust Martial Soul has amazing growth potential; he's just young, that's all."

"Comparatively, Xiao Yi, as far as I know, his Martial Soul is the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul."

"Even if he achieves Extreme Realm cultivation, or even higher, his combat power won't be that strong."

"As everyone witnessed, he has a Fire Attribute Martial Soul, yet he cultivates Ice Sword Dao."

"As you can imagine, his Martial Soul doesn't help him at all."

"In fact, he must have given up on his own Martial Soul."

The others nodded in agreement.

Emperor Yee said gravely, "But Xiao Yi is even younger, younger than any prodigy present here, and his performance is even more outstanding."

All eight suddenly looked towards the martial arts arena, where a new round of competition had begun.

Two prodigies had already taken to the stage.

It was Ling Yu, number 3, against Bai Mohan, number 4.

"Mohan, it's time we settled our matter," said Ling Yu softly.

With a heavy swing of his Star Shadow Sword, the Star Shadow Sword Formation was instantly laid out,

this was Ling Yu's strongest move at present.

"Settle things?" Bai Mohan let out a contemptuous laugh, shaking his head.

The next second, his figure flashed and vanished on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Ling Yu, launching a heavy palm strike.

Ling Yu's pupils contracted; he was unable to react in time.

He barely managed to block in front with his sword but was utterly no match for Bai Mohan's palm strike and was heavily blasted away.

Xiao Yi frowned as he watched the battle on the martial arts arena from the spectator seats.

Ling Yu had already deployed the Star Shadow Sword Formation, using all his methods.

His Sixth Layer Cultivation could at most reach the peak level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, but it was impossible for him to step into Extreme Realm combat power.

The gap between the Extreme Realm and the Heavenly Origin Realm was enormously vast.

Even the strongest prodigies of the various kingdoms needed to surpass the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Origin Realm, coupled with the amplification of a Grade Essence Weapon and formidable Secret Techniques.

Only with multiple amplifications could they have Extreme Realm combat power.

And Bai Mohan, his cultivation was already at the peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

With a series of amplifications, he already possessed the combat power of the Extreme Realm First Layer.

The power of the two was not on the same level.

The battle held no suspense whatsoever.

Sure enough, on the martial arts arena, Ling Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

With just one palm strike, Bai Mohan had nearly caused him severe injuries.

Before he could catch his breath, Bai Mohan attacked again.

But this time, Bai Mohan wasn't empty-handed; a sword had appeared in his hand.

This is a High Grade Primordial Artifact of the Flame Martial Kingdom.

Hiss.

With a thrust of his sword, Bai Mohan deeply pierced through Lingg Yu's chest.

Rivers of fresh blood incessantly flowed from the wound on Lingg Yu's chest.

Bai Mohan, without the slightest fluctuation in his expression, just sneered coldly, his sneer exceptionally ferocious.

"Finished?" Bai Mohan disdainfully said, "Lingg Yu, you think too highly of yourself."

"Do you really think you're something?"

"In my eyes, you're not much stronger than an ant."

Lingg Yu gave a pitiful smile, looking at the sword still impaling his chest.

Then he glanced at Bai Mohan.

Facing that once familiar and revered visage, he laughed.

The next second, Lingg Yu's fingers twitched.

Beneath the Star Shadow Sword Formation, countless Star Shadow Swords fell from behind, striking directly towards Bai Mohan's back.

"Snap." Simultaneously, Lingg Yu's hands firmly grasped Bai Mohan's shoulders.

"Brother Mohan, I said, our matter needs an ending."

Bai Mohan narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly, "So, you were prepared after all."

"Pity, you're too weak, too presumptuous."

Bai Mohan's aura erupted, instantly shaking off Lingg Yu.

The sword in his hand swung back in defense in time.

Hiss. A Star Shadow Sword struck his arm.

But the countless others were all slashed to pieces by him.

Lingg Yu's attack, aside from adding a fine cut to his arm, had no other effect.

"Trash is trash." Bai Mohan sneered disdainfully.

By this moment, Lingg Yu was gravely injured, lying powerlessly on the ground.

Bai Mohan's final jolt in his sword had left him without strength to fight.

"Heh." Lingg Yu chuckled miserably, "At least, this ant in Brother Mohan's eyes has managed to injure Brother Mohan."

A fine trail of blood marked Bai Mohan's arm.

"Courting death." Bai Mohan's eyes chilled, his figure flashed, his sword driving towards the downed Lingg Yu.

"I concede." Lingg Yu chuckled lightly.

Whoosh...

A figure abruptly fell, blocking Bai Mohan.

It was the referee from the Demon Hunting Hall.

"This round of battle can end, the winner, Bai Mohan," the referee announced loudly.

Whoosh...Whoosh...Whoosh...

Zhong Wuyou, Ye Ming, and others hurriedly flew down from the Martial Arts Arena.

"Bai Mohan, your despicable acts really piss me off," Zhong Wuyou said coldly.

Bai Mohan sneered disdainfully, "Take that trash and roll back, you lot are not worthy of speaking to me."

With that, Bai Mohan flashed away, leaving the Martial Arts Arena.

Zhong Wuyou and the others, gritting their teeth, carried Lingg Yu back to the spectator seats.

An Alchemist from the fortress rushed over, saying, "Sword Sect's Genius, do you need my aid in healing?"

"No need, thank you for your kind intentions, senior." Xiao Yi shook his head and took over Lingg Yu.

In his hands, a light flashed, and he took out several High-grade Elixirs for Lingg Yu to swallow.

Ground two Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into powder, and applied it to the wound on Lingg Yu's chest.

The Alchemist watching from the side couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance, "Three Seventh-grade Peak Elixirs, two Healing Holy Fruits, quite extravagant."

"With so many treasures on hand, no wonder you don't need me," the Alchemist muttered to himself inwardly and turned to leave.

Before long, Lingg Yu's injuries gradually healed.

"That fight just now, you could have directly conceded, why provoke Bai Mohan and bring suffering upon yourself," Zhong Wuyou cursed agitatedly.

Lingg Yu smiled, "Seeking trouble is but this last time."

Lingg Yu smiled, his demeanor calm, just like the familiar Sword Sect's Genius Lingg Yu of the past.

"It seems you have truly settled it," Xiao Yi glanced at Lingg Yu and smiled faintly.
