Chapter 825: The True Move That Determines Victory or Defeat!
“Let’s give it a try then!”
Li Qingwei’s voice was soft, and her white dress gently swayed, her fair skin glowing. Her aura began to surge, reaching its peak. A light shone from her forehead, and her soul power surged like a torrent.
Nanan Ruyu remained silent, but his gaze grew even more intense, resembling two piercing lightning bolts. A sacred aura surrounded him, and beneath his purple robe, his tall, slender figure radiated an indescribable elegance and extraordinary strength.
“Whoosh!”
Unleashing the remnants of her soul power, Li Qingwei exerted her full strength. Her black hair flowed, and she formed a phantom image of a person, sending powerful waves crashing toward Nanan Ruyu.
Without a doubt, at this moment, Li Qingwei went all out. The empty space thundered under the pressure of her soul, and many onlookers were visibly moved.
“You are quite strong, but not enough!”
Nanan Ruyu remained indifferent. His energetic wings spread once again, bathed in a holy aura, like a divine child descending from the heavens. The misty light shone brightly, and a handprint was pressed forward, directly shattering the surging waves.
In an instant, the two of them collided with immense force, causing the gazes of many onlookers to tremble.
“I didn’t expect to meet you here!”
Xu Chen’s gaze shifted back from the duel between Nanan Ruyu and Li Qingwei and landed on Su Yi with a wry smile.
In their previous battle, neither of them had used their full strength, each holding back for the final duel of the Saint Martial Assembly. But now, just before the last round, they had encountered each other.
“We can fight without holding back!”
Su Yi gave a slight smile, deciding to use all his strength this time, as both of them had held back in their previous encounter.
Xu Chen glanced at Su Yi, then intentionally or unintentionally looked at the duel between Nanan Ruyu and Li Qingwei. He was moved. Finally, he spoke to Su Yi, “Regardless of who wins or loses, we will face our final opponent. So, we don’t need to hold back. What do you think?”
Su Yi listened and his eyes flickered slightly. He, too, glanced at the ongoing duel between Nanan Ruyu and Li Qingwei. Turning to Xu Chen, he said, “Are you suggesting that one move will decide the victory or defeat?”
“Haha.”
Xu Chen chuckled quietly, feeling a bit surprised that this person had understood his intentions so quickly.
Xu Chen also felt confident. His ultimate goal was to claim victory in the Saint Martial Assembly. However, Xu Chen was well aware that Nanan Ruyu would likely be the winner in the duel with Li Qingwei. There was no doubt about Nanan Ruyu’s strength.
So, the less energy they expended in this round, the greater their advantage would be in the next. One move to decide victory or defeat, minimizing consumption, was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
“How about we settle it in the simplest and most direct way?” Xu Chen asked, his eyes fixed on Su Yi.
“Tell me.”
Su Yi shifted his gaze, understanding Xu Chen’s meaning. Regardless of the outcome between them, both would have to face Nanan Ruyu in the final round. In this case, minimizing their energy expenditure was crucial. One decisive move was the most efficient way.
“I don’t know how many tricks you have, but in any duel, enduring until the end reveals true strength. True strength comes from within, from the body. I have an advantage when it comes to physical strength, and from what I know, your body also seems quite formidable. So I can’t take advantage of you.”
Xu Chen spoke seriously, his tone changing as he looked at Su Yi.
“So you mean, using our physical strength as the foundation, we’ll determine victory or defeat with one move?”
Su Yi’s eyes narrowed. Xu Chen’s intention was clear: to base the competition on their physical strength, the most direct and simplest method.
“Exactly. We’ll base it on our physical strength and decide with one move.”
Xu Chen’s gaze turned serious as he added, “But I have to warn you, I’ve never used my true strength before. It won’t be easy for you to defeat me.”
One move would determine the outcome. It was the simplest and most direct way to compete.
Su Yi stared at Xu Chen, his eyes now filled with a fighting spirit. This was the clearest confirmation.
Xu Chen was mysterious, but Su Yi already had an idea in his mind. However, Su Yi had confidence in himself as well.
Su Yi relied on his Indestructible Vajra Body and his seven times tempered Void God Sea. Of course, Su Yi wasn’t arrogant. If they were at the same cultivation level, Su Yi wouldn’t hesitate at all. But Xu Chen’s mysterious nature made Su Yi suspect that Xu Chen might be at a higher level than the peak of the Third Grade of Yuan True Realm, which Su Yi himself had yet to reach. There was a significant gap between them.
“Okay, one move decides the outcome!”
Su Yi didn’t hesitate. His eyes were filled with determination.
“I know you’ve been hiding something, so bring out your full strength!”
As Xu Chen spoke, his extraordinary, handsome face radiated an even brighter confidence. From his slender, upright figure, a surge of lightning instantly enveloped him, emanating a powerful and majestic aura. His entire body exuded a graceful yet formidable energy that soared to new heights.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the surrounding air stirred, thunder and lightning filled the sky, and the electric aura covered half the heavens. The terrifying force shook the golden boulder, causing the earth to tremble and creating a frightening scene.
“Xu Chen is at the fourth level of the Yuan True Realm!”
“He actually reached the fourth level of the Yuan True Realm, he’s a monstrous talent!”
When Xu Chen’s powerful aura burst forth and soared into the sky, the disciples and sect members from the Five Sects, Three Gates, Sacred Mountain, and Yutian Palace were left stunned and shocked. It was the aura of a fourth-level Yuan True Realm cultivator!
Among the various sects present, those at the Peak of the Second Grade of Yuan True Realm were already considered the most outstanding talents. As for Han Liuyun and others who had reached the Third Grade of Yuan True Realm, it was truly astonishing. They were extraordinary.
Moreover, Xu Chen was still quite young. As soon as his fourth-level Yuan True Realm cultivation was revealed, it completely dumbfounded the powerful figures present.
Such extraordinary talent—he was an unparalleled genius. He surpassed not only the disciples of major sects but also Chu Changhuan from Sacred Mountain and Han Liuyun from Yutian Palace!
“Who exactly is this Xu Chen?”
At this moment, the powerful figures from these major sects couldn’t help but focus entirely on him.
Who was Xu Chen? With such extraordinary talent, it was hard to believe he was just an ordinary cultivator.
“Oh my heavens, fourth-level Yuan True Realm!”
“Unbelievable, Xu Chen is going to win!”
“Overlord Sect Yi Su is going to lose!”
“…”
Among the thousand peaks of the mountains, exclamations of surprise echoed. Reaching the fourth level of Yuan True Realm was incredibly shocking.
Everyone had no doubt about Su Yi’s strength and terror, but the gap between the levels of Yuan True Realm was enormous, let alone Xu Chen, who was truly extraordinary.
