Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

SWISH!

Liu Haichen activated his Bloodline Power. With a thrust of his sword, a torrent of Sword Qi surged forth, lunging at Ling Fei like a giant Spiritual Snake.

Yet, hidden within this river of Sword Qi was a sliver of Sword Gang Qi.

Sword Gang Qi was a sliver of Gang Qi formed from the refinement of True Qi.

After the Perfect Innate Realm, cultivators began refining Gang Qi. Some could convert all their True Qi into Gang Qi in one go.

However, most would first refine a single sliver of Gang Qi and advance step by step.

Some would even stall at this stage, never able to progress further.

But regardless, this single sliver of Gang Qi was enough to let them crush any cultivator at the Perfect Innate Realm.

"Haichen's Bloodline Power is incredibly potent, and his comprehension of Martial Arts is outstanding. He's only seventeen, yet he has already condensed a sliver of Gang Qi. He's only slightly inferior to geniuses like Shangguan Wan'er. Now that he's using his full strength, he should be able to defeat that Ling Fei." In the stands, Liu Changyang stroked his beard, his eyes fixed on the stage. As long as Ling Fei was defeated, they would have a legitimate reason to execute him on the spot.

That way, even Celestial River Academy would have nothing to say.

As Liu Haichen made his move, everyone from Celestial River Academy stared intently at the stage.

'The fusion of his Spiritual Snake Bloodline Power and his Swordsmanship has created an aura far stronger than that of an ordinary Perfect Innate Realm expert. There's clearly a sliver of Gang Qi within his Sword Qi. That Gang Qi is sharp enough to pierce through a normal person's river of True Qi and then deliver a fatal blow. He is indeed very strong.' As Liu Haichen attacked, Ling Fei had already extended his Heart Spirit to carefully sense the Sword Qi fluctuations contained within that strike.

With his powerful Soul Power, he had a complete grasp of the aura and fluctuations of Liu Haichen's attack.

'In that case, let's see which is stronger: your sliver of Sword Gang Qi or my domineering Cold Chi True Qi.' Ling Fei's eyes flashed sharply.

One Sword Seals the River!

With a move of the Long Sword in his hand, Ling Fei sent a blast of Sword Qi whistling out.

The Sword Qi roiled furiously, transforming into a Sword River that swept toward Liu Haichen's attack.

WHOOSH!

Wherever this Sword River passed, the terrifying Sword Qi from his opponent was frozen bit by bit, immediately losing its forward momentum.

The next moment, the distant crowd saw Liu Haichen's strike, which had lunged forward like a Spiritual Snake, suddenly halt in the Void.

The Void before him seemed to have been frozen solid.

"This..." Liu Haichen's expression changed drastically. He had attacked with his full power, fusing his body, Bloodline Power, and sword into a single strike. Few at his level could compare. But now, he felt his Sword Qi stagnate as an Extreme Cold Qi invaded it bit by bit, freezing it solid.

In just an instant, even his hidden sliver of Gang Qi was frozen.

This left him aghast.

One must understand, his sliver of Gang Qi was incredibly sharp and possessed astonishing power, more than enough to shatter the True Qi attacks of Innate Realm Cultivators.

Yet now, it was being frozen, losing all its offensive power.

How could he not be astonished?

He even felt his own body being enveloped by a Cold Qi, threatening to freeze him in the Void.

'It's sealed!' Seeing this, Ling Fei rejoiced inwardly. The power of his Cold Chi True Qi was finally being unearthed.

This was all related to his comprehension of the Cold Dao Mystical while near the Flood Dragon.

One Sword Wave Transformation!

After freezing Liu Haichen's Sword Rainbow with one strike, Ling Fei seized the opportunity to unleash another.

With this strike, the Sword Qi rolled out like a wave, directly impacting the frozen Sword Qi ahead, which shattered inch by inch.

Before Liu Haichen could react, he was sent flying by the sword strike. A deep gash was left on his body, so deep that the white of his bone was visible.

The blood that had just begun to flow from Liu Haichen's wound was instantly frozen by a blast of Extreme Cold Qi.

THUD!

A crisp sound echoed as Liu Haichen crashed to the ground.

After landing, he lay on the ground, his entire body suffused with Cold Qi. Ice crystals began to form on him, and all he could do was blink his eyes as he stared at Ling Fei.

He couldn't even speak.

"Liu Haichen, the Half-step Celestial Spirit Realm genius, was defeated just like that?" An uproar erupted at the sight.

"Ling Fei is incredible!"

"He truly is the pride of our Celestial River Academy!" The students of Celestial River Academy were instantly invigorated.

"What just happened?" Many people still hadn't processed it.

Remember, Liu Haichen was a Half-step Celestial Spirit Realm genius. For Ling Fei to defeat him so decisively without even using his Sound Wave Secret Technique was completely beyond their expectations. The strength of this academy genius was clearly far greater than they had imagined. Only at this moment did the crowd realize just how powerful Ling Fei was.

"Haichen lost?" In the stands, Liu Yi was stunned.

Beside him, Liu Changyang was also filled with astonishment.

"That Ling Fei is actually this strong!" The youths behind them were also dumbfounded.

"In this battle, Ling Fei is the victor!" At this moment, Vice Dean Zhou immediately rose to his feet. In a flash, he appeared on the tournament stage.

He then announced the result of the match.

With a wave of his large hand, he grabbed Liu Haichen and flew toward the viewing stands.

It all happened in an instant.

Vice Dean Zhou had acted so quickly because he feared they would fly into a rage out of shame and attack Ling Fei. So, he made a point to announce the result first, cementing it as fact.

"This kid's Cold Qi is actually this formidable." When Liu Haichen was brought over, Liu Changyang's brow furrowed tightly.

His senses told him that Liu Haichen was in a very bad state. If he wasn't treated within moments, he would be frozen solid and die.

After a moment of surprise, Liu Changyang turned his head to Liu Yi and said, "You, expel the Cold Qi for him first."

"Yes!" Liu Yi nodded. After shooting a furious glare at Ling Fei on the stage, he began to expel the Cold Qi from Liu Haichen's body.

He too had realized Liu Haichen's dire situation.

"This Ling Fei is a genius." Prince Long's eyes narrowed. With his powerful perception, he could see Ling Fei's strength at a glance.

The moment his True Qi was released, a biting Cold Intent spread out, something no ordinary person could compare to.

"Wang Dong, you will take the second match!" Prince Long's gaze shifted to a young man beside him. "Dongyang was your clan brother. This is a good opportunity for you to settle things for the Wang Clan."

"Yes!" Beside Prince Long, a man in a Fire Pattern Robe responded and stepped forward.

WHOOSH!

With just a few leaps, Wang Dong appeared on the battle stage.

When Wang Dong appeared on the stage, the atmosphere of the entire arena instantly changed.

"Wang Dong! That's a senior student from the previous class!" someone recognized him.

He was a student who had already graduated from Tianyan Academy.

"A Celestial Spirit Realm expert is making a move!" Huang Liang exclaimed nervously.

"Can Ling Fei still fight against him?" Shangguan Yurou, Huang Xiaoman, and the others tensed up, their faces filled with anxiety.

Although Ling Fei had won the last battle, his opponent was, after all, only at the Half-step Celestial Spirit Realm.

But this one was a genuine Celestial Spirit Realm expert!

"Ling Fei, you killed my clan brother. Today, allow me to avenge Dongyang!" Wang Dong's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them as he spoke icily.

In his eyes, Ling Fei was a mere disciple from a Humble Family who dared to oppose their Wang Clan. It was a provocation, a crime punishable by death.

"If you want revenge, let's see if you have the skill for it," Ling Fei said bluntly.

Even though his opponent was at the Celestial Spirit Realm, he remained fearless. All he felt was a burning passion.

A powerful will to fight erupted from him, and his long hair billowed behind him, though there was no wind.
