Chapter 56 - Suppressing Cultivation LevelDing Jinglei, who had suddenly appeared on the arena, instantly attracted everyone"s attention. Countless people cried out in alarm!
"Heavens, that is the Thunderclap, he actually made an appearance!"
"I"ve heard that the Thunder Emperor is already a general of the imperial court and a distinguished third rank official. Why would he need to partic.i.p.ate in this kind of compet.i.tion? Isn"t that the same as lowering his status?"
"So what? Don"t forget that the Thunder Emperor is only 21 years old this year, and is also a genius of the younger generation of the royal family." So what?
"I"ve heard that the Thunderclap Sovereign has already reached the Yellow Cloud Realm three years ago. I"m afraid that he has already reached the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm. How could the younger generation of the royal family be his match?"
"That"s right. If Crown Prince Xinglan is a genius, then Crown Prince Lighting and Crown Prince Jinghong are monsters. Those two have 40 spiritual roots!""Tsk tsk tsk tsk, truly infuriating when people compare themselves to others."
Xiang Jinglei"s appearance had undoubtedly ignited the entire atmosphere of the Apricot Altar Garden. Earlier, many people had thought that although the compet.i.tion on the arena was wonderful, it was also a fight between juniors, not too intense.
However, the moment Xiang Jinglei stepped onto the arena, even the martial general with a deep cultivation base in the garden revealed a grave expression!
The weight of the words" Xiang Lighting "was enough for everyone to pay attention to, not just because the latter was the son of Xiang Tian, but also because of his innate talent and his ill.u.s.trious reputation that came from fighting on the battlefield while blood-soaked!His name was Thunder, the son of the War G.o.d, and he was destined to be eye-catching once he got on stage!
Even though Xiang Yun was very dissatisfied with his big brother, when he saw the tall and st.u.r.dy mountain-like figure standing in the middle of the stage, he couldn"t help but feel a sense of admiration for him!
Looking at Xiang Jinglei who had suddenly appeared in the arena, the originally calm and carefree Xiang Xinglan who had an elegant demeanor was first stunned, before his expression immediately stiffened.
"Why did he come up!" Xiang Xinglan"s heart was filled with disbelief. At the same time, she was filled with an indescribable nervousness. The meaning of the three words, "Thunder of the Thunder", was self-evident. It was the peak existence of the Xiang Family"s younger generation.
The latter"s strength caused many geniuses in the royal family"s younger generation to be unable to breathe. Besides a few existences, in the younger generation, there were very few people who dared to challenge the latter"s might.
Xiang Xinglan was also one of these people. The battle between Xiang Lei and the crown prince last year was still deeply imprinted in Xiang Xinglan"s memory.
At that time, he didn"t even have the courage to look the latter in the eye, but now, he was standing in front of himself.
"Brother Xinglan, you can leave now. Let me compete with His Highness the Crown Prince!" Looking at the stunned Xiang Xinglan, Xiang Jinglei spoke once more.
Her indifferent tone was as if she was saying to a little kid on the boxing ring, "Little friend, your mom told you to go home and eat dinner. You can leave first. The big brothers are going to get serious from now on."Hearing this, Xiang Xinglan subconsciously took a step back. It was as if he had been prepared to turn around and leave. However, just as he took a step back, his body suddenly came to a halt.
He suddenly remembered that he was also in the Yellow Cloud Realm, so why would he be obediently chased off the stage?
"Hmm?" Seeing Xiang Xinglan suddenly stop in her tracks, Xiang Jinglei"s brow furrowed slightly, a trace of an imposing expression immediately appearing on his face.
Seeing Xiang Lianglei"s change in expression, Xiang Xinglan involuntarily tensed up once more as fine beads of sweat stealthily seeped out from her forehead. She felt that the other party had brought with it a great, suffocating pressure, and Xiang Xinglan forcefully withstood this pressure as he took a deep breath and looked at Xiang Jinglei as he spoke.
"Brother Thunder, now is the arena compet.i.tion. The victor will remain, and the loser will step down. If I am allowed to withdraw like this, it would not be appropriate."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiang Jinglei"s brows twitched as a pair of glittering eyes stared at Xiang Xinglan. Xiang Jinglei asked rather playfully, "Then you want to fight me?"Looking at Xiang Jinglei"s pair of bright eyes, Xiang Xinglan felt that it was really rather dazzling, making it difficult for them to meet eye to eye. He also couldn"t help but feel a sliver of fear in his heart.
However, when Xiang Xinglan thought about how he had also advanced to the Yellow Cloud Realm, as well as the praises everyone had given him just now, that look of admiration and fear immediately gave birth to courage in his heart.
"Brother Thunderclap, there is a stage rule. If you want to force me off the stage with just a single sentence, then I won"t be able to comply!"
"Haha!" Hearing these words, Xiang Jinglei was not angry; instead, he raised his head and let out a thunderous laugh. Xiang Jinglei then looked towards Xiang Xinglan in front of him and said, "Alright, since Brother Xinglan wants to spar with me, then I"ll respectfully accept!"
After he finished speaking, Xiang Jinglei"s silver spear, which was originally in his hand, was gently tossed to his side as he gripped the end of the long spear. The long spear shot out like a flash, and in the next instant, it was firmly stabbed into a red wooden pillar on the second floor of the Spring Pavilion!
A silver light swirled around the silver spear as the lines on it became as smooth as scales. It was obvious at a glance that it was no ordinary weapon!Xiang Jinglei looked at Xiang Xinglan with his bare hands, saying, "Brother Xinglan, next, I"ll suppress my cultivation to the initial level of Huang Yun. Xiang Jinglei looked at Xiang Xinglan with my bare hands, saying," Brother Xinglan, next, I"ll suppress my cultivation to the initial level of Huang Yun.
As Xiang Jinglei finished speaking, the strong aura that was surging forth like a river suddenly dropped by quite a bit. It could be possible that he had already suppressed his own cloud energy!
Everyone saw what Ding Jinglei did and could not help but secretly praise him in their hearts. Ding Jinglei is truly worthy of being called Ding Lingdang, even if it"s an arena compet.i.tion, he was not willing to take advantage of others and directly lowered his cultivation to fight with them. As expected of the Battle G.o.d"s Son, he truly has courage!
Even Xiang Yun felt that his hateful big brother was acting much more righteously than that treacherous Xiang Xinglan. He was truly domineering!
The latter was an incomparably proud person. Otherwise, he would not have impatiently jumped onto the stage the moment the arena compet.i.tion began, wanting to tell everyone how powerful Xiang Xinglan was!
However, he did not expect Xiang Lei to appear so suddenly. When this person appeared, he could not help but s.n.a.t.c.h away all the adoration and cheers that belonged to him, and even lowered his cultivation to fight with him. He even boasted that he would not have a chance if he did not use his strongest technique.Xiang Xinglan"s gaze gradually changed from trepidation to anger and resentment. He stared unwaveringly at the tall figure standing with his hands behind his back, his fists clenched tightly as crackling sounds rang out!
"Xiang Jinglei, since you dare to look down on me like that and lower your cultivation, don"t regret it later!" Xiang Xinglan muttered viciously to herself in her heart. At the same time, he steadied himself and crossed his arms. He actually began to move his hands rapidly in front of his body!
"Brother Thunder, you must be careful!" Xiang Xinglan gave a cold laugh!
Everyone was surprised to see this. Someone couldn"t help but ask, "What is Crown Prince Xinglan doing?""He seems to be making a seal! It seems to be some kind of martial skill! " Those with special eyesight were able to see the trick in a single glance!
He saw Xiang Xinglan"s hands move swiftly in front of him. They intertwined in the air, overlapping and colliding with each other, and each time they came into contact, a crimson red dot of light would flicker out. The dot of light condensed but did not dissipate, simply floating in front of Xiang Xinglan!
The latter formed her hands at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, countless specks of crimson red light had already appeared before Xiang Xinglan. When these specks of light gathered together, a shocking energy rippled outward!
"Hiss … This is …"
"Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique!" Someone could sense the martial skill level Xiang Xinglan was using through the energy waves!"What?! It"s a upper Huang grade martial skill!"
Although the higher the level, the stronger the martial skill was, but the more difficult it was to train in the same way, and the time it would take was also greater. Xiang Xinglan was able to cultivate a upper Huang grade martial skill while she was still at the Yellow Cloud Realm.
"It"s actually a Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique. Why hasn"t the Thunderclap been interrupted? If Prince Ren Xinglan ama.s.sed his energy and used all his strength in one strike, would the Thunderclap lose because of this?""This …" For a moment, everyone looked towards Xiang Xinglan who was standing on the stage with doubtful gazes.
Facing the ever-increasing energy in Xiang Xinglan"s hands, the latter actually remained standing with a calm expression with his hands behind his back, not showing any signs of wanting to make a move first. It actually seemed to be waiting for Xiang Xinglan to store her energy to its strongest!
Xiang Xinglan could see Xiang Lei"s actions through the crack in the scarlet red ball of light in front of her. Xiang Xinglan could not help but laugh sinisterly within, "Good, good my a.s.s, Xiang Jinglei. How dare you be so arrogant. I"ll definitely teach you what it means to bring about your own death in a moment!"Even though the latter had already suppressed his cultivation, he did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest. Therefore, he had intended to reveal his trump card the moment he arrived, wanting to kill Xiang Jinglei in one blow and win against him!
After a few more breaths of time, the crimson red dot of light before Xiang Xinglan seemed to have congregated into a scarlet red ball of light the size of a small water jar.Feeling the boundless energy within the scarlet ball of light in front of him, Xiang Xinglan was greatly rea.s.sured. A surge of strong confidence followed, and he suddenly clasped his hands together. His index and middle fingers formed a sword as he suddenly pointed at the scarlet fireball!
As his fingertip descended, a fiery light appeared. The originally red ball actually began to soar with crimson flames, enveloping the entire ball!
Immediately after, an even more astonishing scene appeared. The ball of fire suddenly transformed into a fiery phoenix that was several feet long and had its wings spread open. Its entire body was bathed in scarlet flames as it soared into the sky!
"Phoenix Soaring Transformation!"
Right at this moment, Xiang Xinglan let out a loud shout and pushed out with his sword fingers in the direction of Xiang Jinglei. That phoenix phantom that appeared out of nowhere actually whistled as it charged towards Xiang Jinglei in front of it!
The fire phoenix spread its wings, emitting billowing heatwaves. Even from far away, everyone in the Apricot Altar Garden could feel a scorching heat wave blowing towards them. This showed just how terrifying the temperature of the fire phoenix was.
At this moment, the fire phoenix had already brought up a crimson ta.s.sel! It carried a majestic might as it shot toward Xiang Jinglei! The terrifying momentum caused everyone watching the battle to be shocked!
"As expected of a Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique. Its might is indeed unparalleled. This might is probably comparable to a middle Huang Yun Martial Disciple"s one strike!""That"s right, with such power, I wonder if Crown Prince Lei"s cultivation base can withstand the pressure of the initial Huang Yun."
"The Thunderclap has probably gone overboard this time."This was the first time he had seen such a mystical martial skill. In the past, this kind of scene could only be seen through the special effects of a television show, but today, someone was actually able to truly display it!
Seeing the frightening might of this fire phoenix and sensing the violent energy within, Xiang Yun felt that if he were to stand in front of this fire phoenix, he would probably be sent flying backwards by this aura before he was even hit.
"I wonder if that big dumb guy can withstand it?" For the first time, Xiang Yun actually felt a tinge of worry for Xiang Lei. Although this fellow was extremely hateful, he was still his eldest brother. The connection between their bloodlines could not be completely severed.At this moment, the menacing fire phoenix had already arrived, bringing with it a wave of scorching heat that blotted out the skies. With the speed of the fire phoenix, it had arrived in the blink of an eye, just ten feet away from Xiang Jinglei!
At this moment, the latter still had his hands behind his back. However, his eyes suddenly lit up, shining like silver lightning above the ninth heaven as he stared intently at the fiery phoenix that was flying over.
He had finally moved, Xiang Jinglei!
