Soul Emperor Martial God

After the ten judges loudly announced 'The winner is Xiao Yi'.

Xiao Yi turned around again and left.

The gaze of the Wang Family's Great Elder behind him remained extremely cold, "Boy, stop right there..."

In the audience, the Wang Family Patriarch scolded, "Wang Shan, first bring Xinghe back."

Upon hearing this, the Wang Family's Great Elder angrily withdrew his gaze and left with Wang Xinghe in his arms.

Xiao Yi paid no mind and left on his own.

Behind him, countless figures gathered their gaze on him.

That was the gaze of all the martial artists observing the match.

Today, Xiao Yi was destined to become the center of attention.

Not only for his extraordinary combat strength, not only for the holy artifact he had previously taken out.

But also for what the Wang Family Patriarch had just mentioned about him defeating Wang Xinghe with one punch.

Xiao Yi naturally noticed these gazes, but he also ignored them, merely walking back to the audience seat indifferently.

Of course, he knew the reason everyone was focusing on him.

Firstly, it was because of that holy artifact, the Wind Saint Pot.

Previously, when Wang Xinghe used the Sub-Saint Artifact, he actually could have avoided bringing out the Wind Saint Pot.

However, he would have had to burn more Primordial Power.

If he burned more Primordial Power, his veins would also become visible, suffering some backlash.

More importantly, as an Earth Extreme Peak Martial Artist, if he were to forcibly fight against a Heavenly Extreme Late Stage expert amplified by a Sub-Saint Artifact,

Such a thing would likely invite many unnecessary suspicions and troubles.

Another point was that he wanted to see the attitude of the attending martial artists towards low-grade holy artifacts.

And now, he found out.

The Wind Saint Pot, a mere low-grade holy artifact, was enough to make people flock to it, their expressions changing drastically.

Then, as for the mid-grade holy artifact, the Cold Flame Sword, it would be wise to be more cautious when taking it out in the future.

As for defeating Wang Xinghe with one punch, it actually relied on physical strength.

After ending his seclusion in the Wind Shattering Hall's seclusion room, his Asura Battle Body had been refined to the level of the Heavenly Extreme Third Layer.

Originally, during the Earth Extreme Realm level, the Asura Power within him had always been 100 drops, never increasing, just becoming purer and stronger.

But when his Asura Battle Body broke through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm level, these changed.

The Asura Power within him began to increase.

With each layer increased, the Asura Power increased by 100 drops.

Currently, he had 300 drops of Asura Power with a destructive aura within him, truly terrifying.

In his battle against Wang Xinghe earlier, he instantly utilized the long-unused Asura Transformation, boosting his physical strength to the Heavenly Extreme Sixth Layer.

Then, 300 drops of Asura Power were fully mobilized.

This resulted in the battle record of defeating Wang Xinghe with one punch.

Simply put, at this moment, without amplifying with the Cold Flame Sword and without burning a large amount of Primordial Power within him,

The combat strength granted by physical strength had already surpassed that granted by martial arts cultivation.

Of course, he wouldn't neglect his martial arts cultivation either.

Before leaving Star Swapping City, he would definitely choose which complete martial art to break through.

Only by truly breaking through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm would he have more confidence to venture into the Central Region.

Back to the main topic.

Xiao Yi had already returned to the audience seat.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

"Deacon Xiao Yi, the first place for this Star Swapping Day belongs to none other than you," Lih Fengxing said with a smile.

Xiao Yi nodded, giving a light smile.

The battle between Xiao Yi and Wang Xinghe had come to an end.

But the competition for Star Swapping Day was not yet over.

Lih Fengxing and others gradually began to take the stage, securing spots and earning points.

While they were on stage, Xiao Yi sat casually in the audience seat, watching the battles and contemplating.

What he was contemplating, of course, was which martial art to break through first.

At this moment, the Eldest Prince hesitantly walked up to him.

"Monster, oh no, Xiao Yi, you..." The Eldest Prince showed a hesitant expression.

Xiao Yi faintly smiled and said, "You want to ask about the holy artifact I just wielded, right?"

"Yes." The Eldest Prince nodded and said, "The holy artifact you just wielded, is it the long-lost Wind Saint Pot of our Wind Saint Empire?"

The Eldest Prince hesitated but asked in one breath.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Do you want to take it back?"

"No, you've misunderstood." The Eldest Prince shook his head.

The Eldest Prince chuckled lightly and said, "I was just asking, after all, it is the inheritance item of our Wind Saint Empire, lost for countless years, and seeing it re-emerge today, I naturally wanted to know."

"You don't want to take it back?" Xiao Yi asked softly.

The Eldest Prince shook his head, "It's not that I'm being pretentious, but after all, this thing has been lost outside for countless years, becoming an ownerless item."

"You acquiring it is your good fortune."

"Of course, the most important thing is..." The Eldest Prince gave a sheepish smile and said, "If I had such a treasure, I'm afraid it would be snatched away the moment I leave Star Swapping City."

Xiao Yi gave a light chuckle and remained silent.

Suddenly, the Eldest Prince bowed to him.

"What for?" Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brows.

The Eldest Prince chuckled lightly and said, "Naturally, it's to thank you for saving my life and for helping me break through the Heavenly Extreme Realm."

"No need." Xiao Yi faintly smiled and shook his head.

The battles on the Martial Arts Arena continued.

By the way, although the Martial Arts Arena was destroyed in the previous battle between Xiao Yi and Wang Xinghe,

among the attending martial artists, which one wasn't immensely powerful?

In the City Lord's Mansion, a martial artist who practiced Earth Attribute Martial Arts easily rebuilt a sturdy Martial Arts Arena.

Time passed as the heavenly talents clashed one by one.

After two hours, almost all the heavenly talents had competed.

The general spots were also decided.

The competition for Star Swapping Day was about to conclude soon.

At this moment, Xiao Yi glanced in the direction of the Wang Family's audience seat, where Wang Xinghe, who had been severely injured, was sitting perfectly well in the audience seat.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Wang Xinghe noticed Xiao Yi's gaze and let out a cold snicker.

A sinister expression flashed across Wang Xinghe's face.

Xiao Yi shook his head and paid no attention.

The injury he inflicted on Wang Xinghe with that punch was absolutely no lighter than the injury the Eldest Prince suffered.

However, the Wang Family had quite a few Ninth-grade Alchemists, as well as two Infinite Sacred Realm experts.

With the help of martial artists at the Infinite Sacred Realm level, combined with the methods of Ninth-grade Alchemists, it was understandable that they healed Wang Xinghe in a short time.

Of course, a complete recovery should be impossible.

Although Wang Xinghe had regained consciousness, his combat strength was definitely not at its peak.

In other words, he could still compete and exert his strength, at least not losing his spot after being defeated by Xiao Yi earlier.

However, the Wang Family must have paid a hefty price to heal Wang Xinghe in such a short time.

Another dozen or so minutes later,

the battles on the Martial Arts Arena came to a complete stop.

The competition among all the heavenly talents also came to an end.

The ten judges stood up to announce the spots, all 29 spots were finally decided.

Lih Fengxing, Kuanglan Sect Master, Eldest Prince, Lvu Qingran, Young Master Mo, Wang Xinghe, and others were prominently listed.

The spots were fixed, and next, rankings were determined based on points.

First place, naturally, was Xiao Yi.

Surprisingly, Lvu Qingran came in second.

Third place was Young Master Mo.

And Wang Xinghe surprisingly secured fourth place.

Fifth place... sixth place...

"Does anyone have any objections to the rankings?" the ten judges asked loudly.

No one in the crowd spoke up.

These rankings were based on points earned through personal strength.

In other words, there was almost no dispute regarding the rankings derived from these points.

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.

"Yes, I have an objection to the first place," said Lvu Qingran.

...

Third update.
