Watching Cheng Yu rush toward him, Wen Qingye shook his head and chuckled. "That move won’t work on me!"
In an instant, a beautiful figure appeared before Wen Qingye. With a sharp cry, Cheng Yu was right in front of him.
BUZZ!
In Phoenix City Center Plaza, a powerful aura surged, sending ripples like water through the calm air.
A red light appeared in Cheng Yu’s hand as her Primordial Qi began to boil violently. A tyrannical aura swept out, washing over the entire plaza in a wave of heat.
"Wild Dance Palm Split!"
Her palm thrust forward, carrying a ferocious light that blazed with dazzling flames.
As Cheng Yu struck, crimson ripples spread out one after another from the center of her palm.
This Palm Technique was an Eighth-Grade Martial Arts. Cheng Yu had practiced it for a long time, and her mastery was already perfect and effortless.
In a flash, Wen Qingye’s brow twitched.
SHHHHH...
A sinister wind suddenly gusted, bone-chillingly cold. It coiled around everyone like a venomous snake, seeping into the marrow of their bones and making them all shudder involuntarily.
A black and white stream of energy appeared between Wen Qingye’s palms, glowing with a profound and mysterious light.
The black and white energy twisted and gathered, forming wave after wave of ripples that slowly coalesced into a peculiar Hand Seal.
"First form of the Undying Seal Technique! The Sinister Wind’s Fatal Summons!"
Wen Qingye pushed with both hands, sending the Undying Seal crashing directly into Cheng Yu’s palm.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
As the roiling torrents of Primordial Qi collided, the crowd felt the world tremble as if the very ground beneath them was shaking.
This was only the first exchange, yet the power displayed by the two was already so incredible. ’These two are so strong!’ The crowd was secretly stunned.
Cheng Yu’s body flew backward. Her arm felt like it was about to shatter, as if she had lost all sensation in it.
Cheng Yu’s mind raced. ’What a formidable Seal Technique! What kind of Martial Arts is this? It’s unbelievably powerful. And Wen Qingye’s cultivation... it seems even deeper than mine.’
After clashing palms with Wen Qingye, Cheng Yu’s thoughts spun rapidly, and sweat gradually beaded on her forehead.
"You’ve made your move. Now it’s my turn, isn’t it?" Wen Qingye said with a clear laugh. He then brought his palms together, twisting and shifting them continuously.
The next moment!
An image began to float up behind Wen Qingye. A terrifying power surged skyward, soaring directly into the heavens and scattering the clouds.
WHOOSH!
The black and white Yin Yang Fish formed an Eight Trigrams Map that floated behind Wen Qingye. As the Eight Trigrams Map spun, the surrounding Primordial Qi began to warp.
With each rotation of the Eight Trigrams Map, Wen Qingye’s aura climbed to a new height, and his palms turned completely black and white.
Seeing Wen Qingye’s aura continuously rising and the profound, mysterious seals that began to manifest as his hands shifted, Cheng Yu grew even more alarmed.
Cheng Yu’s expression turned grave. She frantically gathered all the Primordial Qi in her body into her palm. In just a few breaths, her hand began to emit a silver-white light, flashing with a dizzying brilliance.
"Wild Dance of the Nine Heavens!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Cheng Yu struck out with her palm. Wherever her arm passed, the air seemed to distort, and the surrounding Primordial Qi radiated outward like ripples in water.
This was Cheng Yu’s most powerful move, her trump card for defeating her enemies. Every time she used it, her opponent was vanquished.
"Second form of the Undying Seal Technique! Separation and Death Shatter the Heart!"
The movements of Wen Qingye’s hands were so wondrously profound that no one could follow them.
The Undying Seal between Wen Qingye’s palms met Cheng Yu’s strike. An incomparably brilliant light flashed, and everyone present instinctively shut their eyes.
In a daze, the crowd could only hear the sound of Primordial Qi colliding, reverberating in their ears.
The frenzied Primordial Qi caused the surrounding temperature to rise.
After a long moment, the crowd gingerly opened their eyes and looked forward.
Wen Qingye’s expression was serene, his hands clasped behind his back. Cheng Yu, pale as a sheet, stood before him, her large, beautiful eyes fixed on him.
The victor and the vanquished were decided; the difference in their strength was clear.
"You’ve lost," Wen Qingye said softly.
Cheng Yu bit her lip and gave Wen Qingye a complicated look. "Thank you for showing mercy."
During their exchange just now, Wen Qingye had withdrawn half of his remaining power at the last moment. Otherwise, with Cheng Yu’s cultivation, she would likely be severely injured.
"Cheng Yu lost, too?"
The students of Celestial Academy might have guessed this outcome, but seeing it happen still left a bitter taste in their mouths.
"Wen Qingye is so strong. To reach this level of power in just a few short months is incredible."
"Cheng Yu lost. Does that mean it’s Nie Shuang’s turn now?"
"I wonder who’s stronger, Nie Shuang or Wen Qingye?"
"A prodigy from Celestial Academy versus a prodigy from Qig Mountain Academy. This is a true contest between the two academies."
The crowd stared at Wen Qingye, their hearts pounding as if ready to leap from their chests. The next battle would be the true pinnacle of the clash between the two academies, a battle that would represent the very peak of their strength.
This was the fight everyone had been waiting for!
"Next."
Hearing Cheng Yu’s words, Wen Qingye no longer looked at her, instead turning his gaze to the students of Celestial Academy.
Wen Qingye’s one word was like a spark that set all of Phoenix City ablaze. freёwebnovel.com
Everyone in Phoenix City turned to look at the Celestial Academy contingent, their faces filled with excitement, eagerness, and anticipation.
The Celestial Academy students saw Wen Qingye’s eyes turn to them. His gaze was as calm as still water, clear and pure, yet it held a power that could seize one’s very soul.
Nie Shuang took a deep breath and slowly picked up the Nine Zero Saber beside him.
Wu Jing looked at Nie Shuang and said slowly, "Nie Shuang, this battle must be won. We cannot afford another loss."
The eyes of every Celestial Academy student were fixed earnestly on Nie Shuang. He nodded and smiled. "Wen Qingye is not my opponent. My true rival is Wen Tongyu."
After speaking, Nie Shuang walked toward Wen Qingye.
Nie Shuang looked at Wen Qingye with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You are worthy of being Qig Mountain Academy’s number one expert. Your strength is truly remarkable."
Wen Qingye said nothing, but the corner of his mouth suddenly curled into a smile.
"It seems the only person you’ve ever lost to is Wen Tongyu?"
Nie Shuang nodded. "And that will be the only defeat of my life."
Wen Qingye shook his head. "Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions."
"Celestial Academy is the second-ranked academy in the Celestial Martial Country, and Qig Mountain Academy is the third. Although your talent is extraordinary, today everyone will see the true gap between our two academies. I will also show you the gap between yourself and a true genius."
Nie Shuang’s tone was wild and arrogant. A scorching, domineering aura erupted from him, fierce and mighty. Standing there in Phoenix City Center Plaza, he instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
