Chapter 827: The Final Duelist!
Su Yi attempted to hide his presence, but in such a duel, how could he completely conceal himself? Even the slightest trace of his presence would be detected by these powerful individuals.
“Boom…”
The continuous echoing “boom” from the golden boulder sent a terrifying aura into the sky.
Even Nanan Ruyu and Li Qingwei, who were in the midst of their own battle, couldn’t help but glance sideways, their attention distracted by the commotion.
Slowly, the atmosphere settled. On the golden boulder, two figures had separated and stood several meters apart, under the watchful gaze of the onlookers.
“Who won?”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the arena, eager to know who would emerge victorious.
The powerful individuals in the crowd were filled with curiosity, eagerly trying to discern the outcome.
“I was careless, I lost!”
Xu Chen looked up, meeting Su Yi’s gaze. His eyes were filled with shock, surprise, and a hint of complexity.
Su Yi lifted his head, a trace of blood visible at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Xu Chen and said, “You haven’t lost.”
“You haven’t lost either, but if we compare cultivation levels, I fear I wouldn’t be your match. So, I’m the one who lost.”
Xu Chen’s face twisted into a bitter smile, tinged with astonishment. He had just felt the overwhelming strength of his opponent.
Xu Chen knew very well what Su Yi’s true cultivation level was. He hadn’t even reached the Yuan True Realm, remaining at the peak of the Ninth Grade of the Yuan Spirit Realm.
In contrast, Xu Chen had reached the Fourth Stage of the Yuan True Realm. Although he hadn’t been outright defeated, surprisingly, he hadn’t managed to gain any advantage.
For him, this was essentially a complete loss.
Had Su Yi also reached the Fourth Stage of the Yuan True Realm, Xu Chen could only imagine the result!
“It’s your turn now. I didn’t secure the first place in the Saint Martial Assembly, but I hope you can win!”
With these words, Xu Chen turned and jumped down from the golden boulder.
In that fleeting moment, no one noticed the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, staining his white clothes a deep crimson.
As he watched Xu Chen leave, Su Yi hesitated. The previous move had seemed evenly matched, but luckily, he possessed the advantages of the Void God Sea and the Indestructible Vajra Body. If the battle continued, the outcome was uncertain.
However, had both been at the same cultivation level, Su Yi was confident that, with his advantages, he would stand undefeated among cultivators of the same realm.
“Yi Su actually won!”
“So strong!”
“Unbelievable, such power!”
“Did you all feel it? Yi Su is at the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm!”
“…”
The audience was in an uproar, stunned by Yi Su’s victory.
Some noticed Su Yi’s actual cultivation level. Despite being only at the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm, he had managed to defeat Xu Chen, who was at the Fourth Stage of the Yuan True Realm. This was truly unbelievable!
“Unbelievable!”
“This Yi Su from the Overlord Sect… his talent is extraordinary!”
Among the various sects, strong figures were shocked and impressed.
While it was clear that both individuals were closely matched, Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, with his ninth-level cultivation in the Yuan Spirit Realm, was stronger than Xu Chen, who was at the fourth level of the Yuan True Realm.
This level of talent was truly extraordinary!
“This guy is too powerful!”
At Yutian Palace, Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan was stunned.
Xi Wuqing’s face remained calm, though his fists clenched involuntarily.
Then, Xi Wuqing’s face showed a faint, bitter smile.
Su Yi’s victory meant that, according to the rules, he had made it to the top two. This also meant that he would be forced to join the mysterious Overlord Sect, as per the original bet.
Meanwhile, the duel between Nanan Ruyu and Li Qingwei continued on the golden boulder.
Li Qingwei had exhausted all her abilities, giving it her all. Her body was covered in armor made of condensed vitality, shimmering as it enveloped her beautiful figure with an enchanting glow.
“Boom…”
Handprints continued to form. Li Qingwei’s expression grew serious as she stirred up the remnants of her soul. Waves of terror surged through the air, accompanied by the power of heaven and earth. Mysterious runes appeared, and before the humanoid remnant soul, the boundless waters coalesced into a towering green light sword. Terrifying sword energy swept forward, carrying the force of the vast sea, directly slashing toward Nanan Ruyu!
“Is that all you have? Then let’s end it!”
Nanan Ruyu’s expression remained indifferent, unfazed. The overwhelming pressure of the soul had no effect on him. His aura fluctuated briefly before he sent out a giant handprint.
In an instant, divine power surged before the handprint, stirring clouds of mist that shook the heavens and earth, causing the entire square to change color.
The green sword light shot into the sky, slashing fiercely at the handprint.
Powerful energy filled the air, creating a booming sound as ripples spread across the sky. The space trembled continuously, and the blinding light was impossible to look at directly.
“Puff…”
In the midst of the energy collision, Li Qingwei was knocked back, coughing up blood. Her lips were stained with crimson blood, adding a touch of sadness to her pale face.
The powerful individuals from the Qingyun Sect watched from afar, their gazes filled with helplessness.
It seemed they had already predicted this outcome, though they were still shocked. Nanan Ruyu’s strength was unexpectedly formidable.
Li Qingwei slowly stood up, saying nothing. The aura of her armor disappeared, and she cast a final glance at Nanan Ruyu. Then, she descended from the golden boulder, acknowledging her defeat, knowing she had no strength left to continue the fight.
Nanan Ruyu landed gracefully on the ground, a faint glow still emanating from his body. His hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a divine and extraordinary aura.
“Hum!” The sound of a bell rang out.
Ouyang Yuanfeng leapt into the air, stepping into the void. His eyes fell upon the two remaining young men. His expression was complex, but he had to announce the results.
“Congratulations to Sacred Mountain’s Nanan Ruyu and Overlord Sect’s Yi Su for winning and advancing to the next round!”
“Boom!”
Before Ouyang Yuanfeng could even finish his sentence, the entire arena erupted in thunderous noise. The air was filled with excitement and countless cheers.
“Nanan Ruyu!”
“Yi Su!”
The shouts of countless young men and women rose and fell in waves, deafening the crowd.
Nanan Ruyu, the prodigy of Sacred Mountain, had always been the idol and aspiration of all young people.
His status as the Saint Child of Sacred Mountain was proof of his greatness.
But Yi Su, once an unknown figure, had defeated Ouyang Jinwei, killed Chu Changhuan, defeated Shao Sijun, Xu Chen, and other formidable opponents, completely dominating the arena.
Compared to Nanan Ruyu, Yi Su was a superior being, an existence that all young people admired but couldn’t reach.
However, Yi Su’s journey had made him seem like one of them. It was the first time they had witnessed someone so close to achieving what had once seemed unreachable.
For Yi Su, this made him feel relatable to the crowd, creating a connection. Though there were mighty warriors from Sacred Mountain, many young and passionate individuals couldn’t help but cheer for Su Yi!
