Soul Emperor Martial God

On the Martial Arts Arena, the battle between the Eldest Prince and the Second Young Master of the Wang Family began swiftly.

But it did not end as quickly as imagined.

Instead, it took a full dozen minutes before the two, who had fought with all their strength, determined a victor.

The Young Master of the Wang Family was heavily struck off the Martial Arts Arena.

When he hit the ground, he was already spitting blood, his face full of a haggard expression.

As for the Eldest Prince on the Martial Arts Arena, blood was also trickling from his mouth.

Obviously, even though the Eldest Prince defeated the Second Young Master of the Wang Family, it was not an easy victory.

"The Wang Family of Star Swapping City is nothing special," the Eldest Prince said coldly as he glanced dismissively at the Second Young Master below the arena with a disdainful smile.

Swoosh...

The Eldest Prince's figure flickered, returning to the spectator seats from the Martial Arts Arena.

"Quite impressive." Everyone looked at the returning Eldest Prince, their faces full of smiles.

The Eldest Prince smiled and said, "I merely won by a fluke."

Lih Fengxing chuckled lightly, "No matter what, this battle showed those arrogant talents of the Central Region that the talents of our usual regions are not to be trifled with."

"Exactly." The Kuanglan Sect Master and others said angrily, "They're nothing special either."

"Right, where is that fellow Xiao Yi?" the Eldest Prince smiled, then looked around in confusion.

"He's in seclusion," the Kuanglan Sect Master replied irritably.

"What, in seclusion?" The Eldest Prince's face changed.

"Is that guy mad? What if he misses the time and doesn't make it?"

Everyone shook their heads, their faces looking somewhat grim.

The battle on the Martial Arts Arena was still ongoing.

One by one, the Heavenly Talents took the stage full of vigor; the strong would win, while the weak could only face defeat in dismay.

Time gradually passed.

The Heavenly Talents from over a hundred forces in Star Swapping City had almost all taken the stage for a match.

"Still not here?" Lih Fengxing frowned deeply in the Wind Shattering Hall's viewing area.

"If he doesn't show up soon, the battles on Star Swapping Day will be completely over before long."

"What should we do then?" Cheng Suyan and Chu Rou were suddenly shocked.

The two of them cast anxious glances towards Senior Li He.

"Senior, can we return our spot to Young Master Xiao Yi?"

Senior Li He shook his head and said solemnly, "The spots for Star Swapping Day are no trifles."

"The spots are fully determined before the battles on Star Swapping Day start."

"You two can go up for the battle; but regardless of winning or losing, you can all undergo the baptism of starlight later."

"And Deacon Xiao Yi, if he hasn't shown up by the end of the battles on Star Swapping Day, he will miss it altogether."

"This..." Cheng Suyan and Chu Rou showed anxious expressions.

On the side, the Eldest Prince said, "It's about time for me to go up again."

With that, his figure flashed, leaving the viewing seats, leaping towards the Martial Arts Arena.

Lih Fengxing said in a deep voice, "The winners from before are starting their second-round matches; time is running out."

Qin Hongyi sneered, "That little thief has always been cunning; this time, it's like shooting oneself in the foot."

"Recklessly giving up two spots, his fate is that now he has missed Star Swapping Day."

"Junior Sister Hongyi, it's too early to say this now," Chu Rou's face turned cold.

"I believe he will arrive in time," Cheng Suyan said earnestly.

But beneath the beautiful faces of the two, there was undoubtedly a strong sense of worry and urgency hidden.

"Hmph." Qin Hongyi let out a cold snort.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Senior Li He frowned, then relaxed his brow and smiled.

"He's here."

Senior Li He smiled with satisfaction, his gaze slowly turning towards a certain direction.

"He's here?" Everyone was initially stunned, then they followed Senior Li He's gaze and immediately felt joyous.

In that direction, a calm figure was slowly approaching.

It was Xiao Yi.

However, the joy on everyone's faces did not last long before they were startled again.

It was a kind of astonishment that arose from the heart.

Intuition told them that the current Xiao Yi was very strong.

Much stronger than before.

In just two short days, Xiao Yi's power had soared significantly.

This was the reason for everyone's astonishment.

Of course, another point was that they could only feel it but couldn't see where Xiao Yi had become stronger.

This was also one of the reasons for the astonishment.

But, no matter the reason, at least Xiao Yi had finally appeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Qin Hongyi, her eyes cold, looked a bit gloomy.

"Senior Li He." Xiao Yi first approached Senior Li He and made a slight bow.

Then, he glanced at everyone and nodded, as if greeting them.

"He finally came." Senior Li He looked at Xiao Yi with a hint of admonishment.

Xiao Yi smiled lightly and asked, "How's the competition going now?"

"It's not over yet," Senior Li He replied, "If you had been half an hour later, there would have been no more chances."

"Good thing I made it," Xiao Yi said with a relaxed smile.

Senior Li He gestured for Xiao Yi to sit beside him.

Xiao Yi nodded and sat down beside him.

With Xiao Yi's arrival, everyone from the Wind Shattering Hall's seats felt relieved and put their minds back on the matches on the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi also watched the battle on the Martial Arts Arena between the Eldest Prince and a certain Heavenly Talent.

At this time, Senior Li He looked seriously at Xiao Yi.

"Boy, you may be a Supreme Genius, but you act too impulsively and immaturely."

"I remind you, in the Central Region, you must be careful in all things."

Senior Li He's voice was not loud, just enough for Xiao Yi beside him to hear.

"I know, elder." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Know?" Senior Li He said with slight anger, "You knew yet made such a commotion going into seclusion two days ago?"

"You knew yet didn't come today until almost too late?"

"Uh." Xiao Yi awkwardly rubbed his nose.

In fact, he knew what was happening outside the seclusion room two days ago.

He knew when Senior Li He set up the Prohibition Barrier to block the overflow of momentum outside the seclusion room.

He just didn't care.

The Spiritual Energy's runaway, the momentum's explosion being loud, didn't signify anything.

Perhaps Senior Li He, at this level of strength, could see what was happening.

But others might just think it was some Treasure's appearance or a senior expert cultivating.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Li He," Xiao Yi earnestly looked at Senior Li He and thanked him.

He not only knew that two days ago Senior Li He was outside the seclusion room, helping to block the outward momentum and deterring the curious martial artists.

He also knew that Senior Li He stayed outside the seclusion room for two full days, only leaving when Star Swapping Day began.

"It's a small matter." Senior Li He waved his hand and said, "By the way, during your first momentum burst in the seclusion room, if I'm not mistaken, you were recovering Primordial Power."

"And later, you had another momentum burst when trying to break through Cultivation, right?"

"What happened, you didn't succeed?"

From Senior Li He's perception, though Xiao Yi's momentum was stronger, it was still at the Earth Extreme Peak level.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I haven't broken through."

He had not broken through, still only at the Earth Extreme Peak.

He had deliberated for a long time in the seclusion room, unable to decide which Martial Path to break through first.

This was also why he delayed a lot of time and was late for the competition on Star Swapping Day.

However, he was not anxious.

He could break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm at any moment with a thought now.

He might just need a little more time to consider.

Or perhaps he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to break through.
