Soul Emperor Martial God

"Bastard, how dare you ambush me?"

Young Master Mo touched his face, his palm suddenly wet.

Seeing the blood on his palm, and feeling the burning pain on his face, he became furious.

Swoosh...

A swirling glow condensed in his hand.

The next second, a yellow glove appeared in his hand.

"It's appeared, the Wanshan Gloves." Spectators in the audience exclaimed.

"That's the renowned top-grade elemental artifact of the Mo Family, nearly the strongest weapon among the top-grade elemental artifacts."

"It seems Young Master Mo is getting serious."

"Top-grade elemental artifact?" Xiao Yi's expression was indifferent, a flash of light in his hand, and the Blizzard Sword appeared out of thin air.

As a side note, he used the Blizzard Sword before to force Wang Xinghe back and to point at the Wang Family elder.

As for the Cold Flame Sword, he hadn't used it since arriving in Star Swapping City.

A mid-grade holy artifact is not something ordinary.

Judging from the guests' reactions to the Starfire Gloves at the previous auction, it was evident.

Moreover, the Starfire Gloves were merely a damaged mid-grade holy artifact.

A common principle, possessing wealth invites trouble, Xiao Yi naturally understood this.

Therefore, Xiao Yi never revealed the Cold Flame Sword.

Another point, the rules of the Star Swapping Day competition specified that heavenly talents could not use weapons above top-grade elemental artifacts.

The purpose of the Star Swapping Day is for heavenly talents to compete for opportunities.

And the opportunities on Star Swapping Day should be obtained by true heavenly talents.

So, in duels between heavenly talents, one must not rely on excessively powerful external items.

Sub-Saint Artifacts are already used by most Infinite Sacred Realm martial artists.

Sub-Saint Artifacts can give Earth Extreme and Heavenly Extreme realm martial artists too much of a boost.

Then, the competition between heavenly talents would lose meaning, as it would become about whose treasure is stronger, not whose talent and strength are superior.

Therefore, the rule states that the highest weapon heavenly talents can use in competition is a top-grade elemental artifact.

And fittingly, Heavenly Extreme realm martial artists can fully unleash the power of a top-grade elemental artifact.

Back to the matter at hand.

Previously, when Young Master Mo, Wang Xinghe, and Lvu Qingran took turns coming to the stage, none of them used weapons.

Now, he summoned the Wanshan Gloves as the battle began.

This signified that Young Master Mo was getting serious.

"Kid," Young Master Mo coldly stared at Xiao Yi, "Don't think that just because you defeated a Heavenly Extreme Fifth Layer elder of the Wang Family, you have the right to be arrogant here."

"The number of Heavenly Extreme Fifth Layer fighters defeated by me is countless."

"If I go all out, you won't be able to withstand even one move from me..."

Young Master Mo spoke coldly.

This time, his words were still left unfinished.

Because a sharp sword had already reached him within a moment.

The chilling sword edge exuded an extreme coldness.

The sword hadn't yet arrived, but the cold air rushing at him was already freezing Young Master Mo's face like frost.

Clang...

Young Master Mo's reaction was extremely fast, using his palm to narrowly block Xiao Yi's sword edge.

The strike between the sword edge and the glove emitted a clang.

Both being top-grade elemental artifact level, neither could overcome the other.

However, the sword had the ultimate sharpness; thus, when the sword edge struck the glove, it left a white mark.

Young Master Mo was also forced back more than a dozen steps by this sword strike.

"Heavenly Extreme Sixth Layer cultivation." Xiao Yi looked at Young Master Mo and murmured.

Indeed, Young Master Mo was a Heavenly Extreme Sixth Layer martial artist.

Having secured second place in the previous few Star Swapping Days, his strength and cultivation were not to be underestimated.

However, this level of cultivation was not enough in front of Xiao Yi.

Clang...

Xiao Yi charged again with his sword.

The continuous shadows of the sword instantly sealed Young Master Mo's entire range of movement.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

Young Master Mo relied on the Wanshan Gloves, using both palms to continuously fend off the attacks.

However, although he blocked Xiao Yi's sword, he was forced to retreat step by step.

"How can this be so strong?" Young Master Mo's face was full of shock.

However, he didn't have time to think much.

Because Xiao Yi's sword edge was relentlessly forcing him back, gradually cornering him to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.

"Will you come down yourself, or shall I continue to force you down?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.

He had already activated the two ice patterns, and with the burning of the Ice Mountain Fire Sea within him and the full force of the Blizzard Sword's power, his combat strength far exceeded that of Young Master Mo.

Naturally, Young Master Mo's defeat at his hands was expected.

"You..." Young Master Mo's eyes turned fierce.

But the next second, Xiao Yi's sword edge swung again.

With a sweeping sword shadow, he directly forced Young Master Mo off the Martial Arts Arena.

Xiao Yi really had no interest in listening to the nonsense of this Young Master Mo.

"Bastard." Driven off the Martial Arts Arena, Young Master Mo's face was ashen.

Falling off the arena proved he was defeated.

Moreover, according to the rules, all the points he previously earned by defeating various Heavenly Talents would go to Xiao Yi.

"Kid, remember this."

"First, you took my treasures, and now you've forced me off the stage."

"For these two deep grievances, I will settle with you someday."

Young Master Mo said with hatred.

Xiao Yi ignored him, walked back to the center of the arena alone, and waited calmly.

The treasures Young Master Mo mentioned were naturally the Starfire Gloves.

The martial arts he practiced were evidently focused on hand techniques.

Therefore, even though the Starfire Gloves were damaged, they were still a powerful weapon for hand techniques.

This was also the reason he continuously bid against Xiao Yi at the auction before.

Of course, he failed to outbid him.

And this time, he was defeated again.

At this moment, Xiao Yi stood in the center of the Martial Arts Arena.

Soon, other Heavenly Talents came up to challenge.

Naturally, the result was obvious, easily defeated by Xiao Yi.

Afterward, Xiao Yi consecutively defeated over ten Heavenly Talents before slowly leaving the stage.

"Hmm?" On the spectator seats of the Wind Shattering Hall, Lih Fengxing asked in confusion, "Deacon Xiao Yi, leaving the stage so soon?"

"With your strength, you could at least force Wang Xinghe or Lvu Qingran to challenge."

"No need." Xiao Yi chuckled softly.

"Next, just watch; after that, you can compete."

"Oh?" Lih Fengxing looked puzzled.

Xiao Yi didn't reply.

On the Martial Arts Arena, Xiao Yi stepped down, and the next to ascend was Lvu Qingran.

In the previous rounds of battles, it was always Young Master Mo stepping down, followed by Lvu Qingran ascending.

This time, Xiao Yi stepped down, and Lvu Qingran ascended.

In the next moment, a figure leapt onto the arena.

However, the one challenging Lvu Qingran was not an ordinary Heavenly Talent but Wang Xinghe.

"Wang Xinghe?" On the arena, Lvu Qingran frowned.

In her expectation, her battle with Wang Xinghe shouldn't come so soon.

Wang Xinghe did not answer, only looking grim.

He also did not want to ascend the stage and duel with Lvu Qingran so soon.

But Young Master Mo's defeat allowed Xiao Yi to gain all of Young Master Mo's points.

Plus the points from over ten Heavenly Talents Xiao Yi defeated later, Xiao Yi's current points completely surpassed his and Lvu Qingran's.

That means, if Wang Xinghe wants to regain the first place in the competition, he can only defeat Lvu Qingran and obtain her points.

"Well then." Lvu Qingran shook her head, "After all, we have to battle sooner or later, might as well start now."

"It's been three years, you may not be my match."

Lvu Qingran confidently gazed at Wang Xinghe.

Wang Xinghe sneered slightly.

Their battle quickly commenced.

However, the battle lasted no more than a minute before it ended.

Lvu Qingran was heavily knocked off the Martial Arts Arena.

Wang Xinghe stood confidently, with the posture of a victor, proudly in the center of the arena.

"This guy is so strong." Lih Fengxing and the others were all shocked.

"No, I should say terrifyingly strong; he didn't even exert his full strength in the previous fight against the Eldest Prince." Kuanglan Sect Master and Yu Feng were astonished.

"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled lightly, instantly leaping onto the Martial Arts Arena.

On the arena, Wang Xinghe and Xiao Yi stared coldly at each other.

Anyone could see that on this Star Swapping Day, these two were the strongest Heavenly Talents.

Only, it was still uncertain who would win or lose.

At this moment, in the distance, from the resting area, a burst of intense energy erupted.

The energy swept across the entire area instantly, causing the sky to change dramatically.

"Hmm? It's the energy of a breakthrough, and it's a breakthrough to the Heavenly Extreme Realm."

"Who is breaking through now?"

In an instant, the guests exclaimed.

On the Martial Arts Arena, Xiao Yi turned his head, glanced into the distance, nodded lightly, and smiled calmly, "Looks like it's successful."

...

Third update.
