Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Fierce Battle

“At the Fifth Level of Yuandan Realm, it seems that Brother Feng is quite concerned about him,” Liu Qingyang noticed Feng Wuchen’s gaze and also glanced at the meditating student.

“With three at the Fifth Level of Yuandan Realm, his strength is the strongest, so naturally, Brother Feng is concerned,” Ling Xiaoxiao whispered.

Zhang Junlan nodded, speaking gravely, “His aura is somewhat restrained, but it is still evident that this person is very strong.”

It wasn’t just Ling Xiaoxiao who could see it, all the powerful individuals present could tell, and the genius students all viewed him as their strongest opponent.

After Feng Wuchen stepped down from the arena, the gravely injured Qin An was also carried away to be treated.

The second martial combat proceeded thereafter.

The second bout was between the students of Shuiyun Academy and Shenfeng Academy. Both competitors were at the Yuan Dan Realm Fourth Layer, their strength was extreme, certainly no less than Qin An’s.

The two instantly set off a contest of martial skills, with powerful techniques emerging one after another, and intense energy ripples sweeping across, leaving the arena floor riddled with scars.

Eventually, it was the genius student from Shuiyun Academy who won victory.

The strength of Shuiyun Academy’s students has always been a mark of the strongest.

Mu Shan had met his defeat at the hands of a genius student from Shuiyun Academy.

Dong Wushuang was even less fortunate, having drawn a Fifth Level Yuandan Realm powerhouse from Shuiyun Academy—the very genius student who was meditating, Bai Kong. With one palm strike, Bai Kong sent Dong Wushuang flying off the arena, leaving him no chance to fight back.

Dong Wushuang’s defeat could be said to be utterly devoid of resistance.

Tianyan Academy had two students eliminated in the first round!

One after another, fascinating and intense battles took place, showcasing the formidable strength of students from various academies.

“Contestant number nine, Duan Henxi versus contestant number nine, Zhang Jicheng!” the Dean of Shuiyun Academy announced loudly.

“Whoosh!”

As soon as the Dean of Shuiyun Academy finished speaking, suddenly, a figure flashed onto the stage—a tall and slender young man, fairly handsome, dressed in black brocade, with an elegant demeanor.

Glancing at Duan Henxi, Zhang Jicheng said with a light smile, “The number one young genius prince of the Tianwu Empire, come up and let me see your strength.”

The aura emanating from Zhang Jicheng was incredibly strong, having stepped into the Fourth Layer of the Yuandan Realm. He was a student from the Tianwu Academy.

“Wild monkey, don’t underestimate him, his strength is also very formidable,” Su Lieyang said gravely.

Duan Henxi nodded and said, “I’ve crossed hands with him before; he’s the grandson of the State Preceptor of the Tianwu Empire, two years my senior!”

“Hmph! You think I would be afraid of you?” Duan Henxi said unabashedly and then flitted onto the stage.

“Come on, give it your all!” Zhang Jicheng beckoned with a smile, as the True Yuan within him surged forth, his momentum skyrocketing rapidly.

Duan Henxi activated his True Yuan to full power, his ferocious momentum erupting. Reaching out, he grabbed through the air, and the War Soul Spear materialized out of nowhere. His aura soared once again, majestic and commanding, like a War God incarnate.

“A Spiritual Artifact!” Zhang Jicheng’s expression changed slightly, astonished at the sight of Duan Henxi’s War Soul Spear, and he wondered, “Since when did Duan Henxi’s War Soul Spear become a Spiritual Artifact? Surely the prince doesn’t have the capability to transform a superior-grade treasure into a Spiritual Artifact, right?”

“It’s actually a Spiritual Artifact!” The students exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

“It seems the prince of the Tianwu Empire has improved his Artifact Refining level again!” principals and elders from all major academies were greatly astounded.

Duan Henxi wielded the War Soul Spear, his moves exquisitely brilliant, elegant and commanding.

“War Soul!” The powerhouses in attendance were once again shocked, as they could feel the formidable War Soul of Duan Henxi!

With Duan Henxi’s current Third Layer of the Yuandan Realm cultivation and the Spiritual Artifact War Soul Spear, his combat power was absolutely terrifying!

“Take my spear!” Duan Henxi suddenly shouted, launching the War Soul Spear from his grasp, turning into a bolt of blue lightning that shot forward with overwhelming momentum.

Duan Henxi executed his movement technique, charging forward explosively.

“Bang!”

Duan Henxi kicked the air, striking the shaft of the spear with his foot, causing a muffled boom as the already speeding War Soul Spear’s pace suddenly doubled.

Zhang Jicheng looked serious. Facing the current Duan Henxi, he dared not be careless. A Spiritual Artifact was not something to be trifled with.

“Snap!”

Zhang Jicheng brought his hands together with a sharp clap, and shouted, “Xuanlight Shield!”

As his shout fell, a giant energy shield some thirty feet across, emanating strong defensive power, materialized in front of Zhang Jicheng.

“Ding!”

“Humming!”

The War Soul Spear, which shot over like lightning, collided fiercely, ringing out with a high-pitched ding. The terrifying force immediately spread, causing the arena to vibrate explosively and resonate.

“To think a Spiritual Artifact could be so terrifyingly powerful!” Zhang Jicheng said frowning with shock.

Even with Zhang Jicheng’s formidable strength, he was sent reeling several meters back by Duan Henxi, indicating just how powerful Duan Henxi was.

“Break!”

Duan Henxi, following close behind, struck the shaft of the spear once more with his palm, and at the same time, he shouted. A forceful energy erupted.

“Not good!” Zhang Jicheng’s face changed drastically.

“Boom!”

“Crack!”

A violent explosion suddenly sounded, and the Xuanlight Shield shattered into pieces, sending Zhang Jicheng flying more than ten meters.

“Hiss…”

Duan Henxi’s strength at the Third Layer of the Yuandan Realm drew a gasp from many of the students.

Such was the domineering power of a Spiritual Artifact!

“Humph!” Duan Henxi snorted harshly and, holding the War Soul Spear, swiftly moved out.

Zhang Jicheng’s expression grew stern. He fully activated the True Yuan within him, a faint purple glow emanating around his body, and a tumultuous power surged forth like a fierce flood, causing the ground to tremble slightly and a vast number of stones to levitate.

“A year apart, your strength has increased so much. You’re indeed worthy of being the number one genius of the Tianwu Empire!” Zhang Jicheng said calmly, but his aura was incredibly fierce.

“Your strength has greatly increased as well, but I assure you, I will not lose to you!” Duan Henxi shouted, the tip of the spear shining with a brilliant blue light, an immensely powerful lance energy erupting violently.

“Undying War Soul Spear! Sundering the Stars!” Following his shout, Duan Henxi, from a distance of over ten meters away from Zhang Jicheng, brought the War Soul Spear down from above.

The battle had been intense right from the start, with Duan Henxi going all out, holding nothing back, and aiming for a swift conclusion.

“Whoosh!”

A blue lance light dozens of feet in size burst forth along the ground of the arena, collapsing layers of it wherever it passed.

“Earth Grade Martial Skill! Such terrifying power!”

“Duan Henxi’s strength is enough to contend with the Yuan Dan Realm Fourth Layer!”

Facing the terrifying lance light, students and soldiers alike cried out in shock and awe.

“Profound Grade high-quality martial skill! Lie Feng’s Blade!”

Zhang Jicheng let out a low shout, forming seals with his hands, focusing all his power into his right arm, and swung out ferociously, unleashing a several dozen feet wide cyan wind blade that tore through the air, raising a frightening storm.

Zhang Jicheng had already experienced the power of Duan Henxi’s Earth Grade martial skill, and he was clearer than anyone about its formidable strength.

“Bang!”

“Pfft!”

At the moment the two powerful forces collided, the violent energy ripples spread fiercely, causing both men to spit out blood and their faces to pale.

“Their strengths are equal; they won’t both end up injured, will they?” Liu Qingyang worriedly said.

Feng Wuchen said indifferently, “Duan Henxi has improved a lot over the past month, and with a Spiritual Artifact in hand, he shouldn’t lose.”

All eyes were on the square, where the spectacular and intense fight stirred up their blood.

“Rumble!”

“Pfft!”

After more than ten seconds of fierce clashes between the two powerful forces, they suddenly exploded, engulfing the arena in light and unleashing even more terrifying energy ripples that swept through everything in their path. The two vomited blood once more and their bodies flew backward.

The mighty Qi Force swept in all directions, rushing towards the students and soldiers around the arena.

The terrifying force blasted a large crater into the limestone arena, its destructive power was truly shocking.

After clashing with all their might, both were seriously injured, their complexions deathly pale.

“To think I would be injured so severely!” Zhang Jicheng frowned deeply, having completely underestimated the strength of Duan Henxi.

“Profound Grade mid-quality martial skill! Wuji Wind Blade!”

Before the energy ripples had completely dissipated, Zhang Jicheng had already roared, his Wind Attribute True Yuan erupting, causing a fierce wind to rise as he conjured more than a dozen cyan energy blades around him.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

Under Zhang Jicheng’s control, the dozen or so energy blades shot out with a series of intense sonic booms.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Duan Henxi deployed his movement technique to rapidly dodge, evading the wind blades as the arena exploded continuously.

Once Zhang Jicheng had locked onto Duan Henxi’s movements and had figured out his path, as Duan Henxi dodged the last wind blade, Zhang Jicheng had already flickered forward.

“Duan Henxi! Take this palm!” Zhang Jicheng shouted loudly, nearly in the blink of an eye, he closed in on Duan Henxi.

“Not good!” Duan Henxi’s complexion changed drastically.

“Boom!”

“Hum, hum!”

Zhang Jicheng’s fierce palm landed without hesitation, and with a loud explosion, the arena shook.

“Illusionary doubles!” Zhang Jicheng’s expression changed dramatically; his palm had hit empty air!

The next second, four duplicates suddenly burst out from around Zhang Jicheng.

“Profound Grade mid-quality martial skill! Soulless Sky Severing Palm!”

All four duplicates shouted at the same time, four surges of powerful force closing in. If hit, Zhang Jicheng would surely be gravely wounded!

“Earth Escape!” In a panic, Zhang Jicheng urgently used Earth Escape to burrow underground.

“Hum, hum!”

“Earth Kun’s Fire!”

The arena suddenly vibrated with humming, and from beneath, Zhang Jicheng’s loud shout followed, as a dreadful Fire Attribute True Yuan spread across the entire arena.

Moments later, a sea of flames ignited on the entire arena, drastically raising the temperature.

“Duan Henxi, let’s see where you can run!” Zhang Jicheng’s voice came from beneath the ground.

“Hmph! What can you do to me?” Duan Henxi was unfazed, his Ice Attribute surging wildly as he shouted, “Ice Seal Thousand Miles!”

The powerful Ice Attribute strength spread wildly, freezing the entire arena, and the sea of flames dissipated.

“Insignificant trick!” Zhang Jicheng bellowed.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

At that moment, pillars of fire burst through the ground of the arena.

Duan Henxi’s expression shifted, and he hastily stepped on the ground, leaping high into the air.

“Profound Grade mid-quality martial skill! Eight Desolations Return to Origin Slash!”

Leaping up tens of meters, Duan Henxi shouted, a blue light flashing, and then with a wave of his hand, a ferocious energy slash plunged downwards.

“Hmph! Can you fly?” Zhang Jicheng emerged from the ground, scoffing.

At this moment, Duan Henxi was like a sitting duck!

Zhang Jicheng pointed at Duan Henxi, who was falling from mid-air, and shouted, “Wind Breaking Finger!”

“Zhang Jicheng! You’ve been tricked!” The falling Duan Henxi suddenly sneered.

“Ice Flame! Water Spirit! Earth Kun! Thunder Pillar!”

Duan Henxi chanted with one hand forming seals. Suddenly, the ground of the arena was enveloped by four terrifying forces!
