Chapter 516 Pride and Regret
"I... admit defeat!"
Even though Shen Wannian was extremely unwilling in his heart, under Yun Xiao’s increasingly fiery breath, he ultimately felt that saving his own life was more important and uttered a voice of surrender.
These three words, though spoken softly, were like a clap of thunder in the quiet center square, causing all the spectators among the cultivators to be momentarily unable to recover their senses.
At the beginning of this battle, almost everyone favored Shen Wannian; after all, in terms of fame alone, this leading disciple of the Royal Qi Sect was countless times stronger than Yun Xiao.
However, the actual outcome was a far cry from what everyone had imagined. After Shen Wannian had activated his Ancestor Vein Power and even employed the strongest methods of the Royal Qi Sect, he was still easily defeated by Yun Xiao, which was clearly at odds with their earlier predictions.
Perhaps some people thought Yun Xiao had taken advantage of the situation, for if he hadn’t preemptively guessed the location where Shen Wannian’s true body would appear and calculatedly poked his finger there, the battle likely wouldn’t have ended so quickly.
No matter how you put it, after Shen Wannian had activated his Ancestor Vein Power and reached the peak of the Meridian Union Realm, with a difference of two minor boundaries, Yun Xiao should not have won so easily.
Indeed, if Yun Xiao hadn’t activated his own Ancestor Vein Power and employed some of his more formidable techniques, overcoming Shen Wannian, who was two minor boundaries higher, would have been difficult.
Yet Shen Wannian was too clever for his own good or perhaps too confident, ultimately giving Yun Xiao an opportunity and being defeated with a single strike. It must be said that sometimes the outcomes of battles are full of surprises.
Regardless, the battle was won by Yun Xiao. Seeing the Royal Qi Sect’s number one talent kneeling before Yun Xiao and uttering words of defeat, everyone felt emotional inside.
That was the super-talented Shen Wannian, hailed as the most likely contender for the championship of this Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, who didn’t even make it to the top four and was defeated by Yun Xiao’s hand.
