Chapter 706: Still A Single Move
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
"Bai Hao is similar to Duan Ling Tian and ZI Shang, he defeated his opponent with a single move… From the beginning until the end, the phenomenon of the heaven and earth utterly had no chance of condensing into form."
"I feel that Bai Hao’s strength is equal to Duan Ling Tian and Zi Shang, and it surpa.s.ses the other three young geniuses in all aspects."
"Not only that, when Bai Hai attacked, his Fire Concept combined with Origin Energy actually transformed into real flames… He’s just like Zhang Shou Yong, and is an existence that’s halfway into the Void Interpretation Stage!"
"His strength is even stronger than Zhang Shou Yong."
…
The crowd in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena discussed animatedly.
Most of the people present, including Duan Ling Tian, were shocked by Bai Hao’s strength.
"Big Brother Zhang, when Bai Hao raised the spirit spear and smashed it out towards your spirit weapon gourd, did it contain another Concept?" Duan Ling Tian couldn’t refrain from asking Zhang Shou Yong via voice transmission.
Because Bai Hao had attacked too swiftly, the phenomenon of heaven and earth hadn’t had the time to condense into form, and coupled with the material Fire Concept blocking Duan Ling Tian’s field of vision, Duan Ling Tian didn’t notice the second Concept.
Of course, Duan Ling Tian not noticing it didn’t mean that Zhang Shou Yong, who faced the attack, didn’t notice it as well.
"Exactly." Even though Zhang Shou Yong had lost at the hands of Bai Hao, he wasn’t dejected in the slightest. "Besides Fire Concept, he also used Rod Concept… According to my conjecture, his Rod Concept ought to be at least at the second level!"
Rod Concept?
Second level and above?
Duan Ling Tian looked at Bai Hao with slight surprise when he heard this.
Never had he imagined that Bai Hao’s strength was actually so strong.
"Ninth level Fire Concept and Rod Concept at the second level or above, when both are combined, they’re already not inferior to my eighth level Wind Concept and third level Lightning Concept." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart. "Even though I’ve also comprehended first level Earth Concept as well, who knows if his Rod Concept is only at the second level? Perhaps it’s at the third level, and even the fourth level might be possible."
After all, Zhang Shou Yong had only roughly estimated that Bai Hao’s Rod Concept was at the second level or above, and he wasn’t able to be sure of exactly how strong it was.
Bai Hao had easily obtained the victory in his battle between Zhang Shou Yong, and it had shocked many people in the Cage Battle Arena.
"As it is now, amongst the six young geniuses, Duan Ling Tian, Zi Shang, and Bai Hao possess the strongest strength… The other three people are slightly inferior."
"If nothing unexpected happens, then the top three during the ranking battles today will probably be Duan Ling Tian, Zi Shang, and Bai Hao."
"No matter if it is Duan Ling Tian, Bai Hao, or Zi Shang… Up until now, they attacked so swiftly that the phenomenon of heaven and earth only flashed briefly, and we utterly don’t know exactly how their strengths are."
"Perhaps, only when these the three of them face each other would we be able to confirm their exact strength."
"Truly a cause for antic.i.p.ation."
…
The sounds of discussion rose and fell in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena, and many people were looking forward to the battle between Duan Ling Tian, Zi Shang, and Bai Hao.
"Bai Hao." Zi Shang looked at Bai Hao who’d withdrawn to the side, and his eyes abruptly narrowed as he thought in his heart. "I originally thought that my opponent today was probably only Duan Ling Tian… Yet never had I imagined that Bai Hao’s strength was so strong, and he already possesses the qualifications to be my opponent."
"But, no matter if it’s Duan Ling Tian or Bai Hao… They’re bound to be the stepping stone of I, Zi Shang! I, Zi Shang, am determined to obtain first place in the Dynasty Martial Compet.i.tion!" Unknowingly, Zi Shang’s eyes were filled with confidence, and it was confidence towards his own strength.
"Next." In next to no time, along with the discussions in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena calming down, the old man spoke once more.
At the same time, Zi Shang moved and arrived at the central area of the sky above the Cage Battle Arena at the first possible moment.
"It’s Zi Shang!"
"Zi Shang was actually so impatient to enter the arena."
"I wonder if he will choose Duan Ling Tian or Bai Hao as his opponent… If he chooses Duan Ling Tian or Bai Hao, then this battle will surely be extremely interesting!"
…
The atmosphere of the Cage Battle Arena that had slightly calmed down was once again in an uproar.
But unfortunately, Zi Shang didn’t choose Duan Ling Tian or Bai Hao.
His gaze locked onto his target at the first possible moment. "Ye Xiao, will you admit defeat yourself, or should I defeat you myself?"
Then person Zi Shang challenged was exactly the Ye Clan’s Eldest Young Master, Ye Xiao.
Presently, Ye Xiao was sitting at the first-cla.s.s spectating area that the Ye Clan members were seated at, and he flew out when challenged by Zi Shang. "If you have the strength, then defeat me! Don’t even dream about making me admit defeat."
Ye Xiao’s words displayed his proud and unyielding character.
As the Eldest Young Master of the Ye Clan, the number one expert of the Ye Clan’s younger generation, he had his pride and dignity that were more important than his life, and he wouldn’t allow another to trample on it.
"Very good." Zi Shang stood in confrontation with Ye Xiao as he nodded with satisfaction. "Since it’s like this, then I’ll defeat you with my own two hands!"
"Hmph!" Ye Xiao grunted coldly, and he once again chose to attack first and seize the initiative.
Unfortunately for him, his speed was swift, but Zi Shang’s speed was swifter!
Along with a zither appearing out of thin air in Zi Shang’s hand, he raised his hand and Origin Energy flickered on the tips of two of his fingers before transforming into two tiny vortexes that ceaselessly revolved and warped.
Within these two tiny vortexes, Wind Concept and Fire Concept followed like shadows as fire drew a.s.sistance from the might of wind and gradually strengthened the Fire Concept.
In the next moment, Zi Shang’s hand descended swiftly like a bolt of lightning, and his fingers smashed onto two zither strings.
"Cover your ears!" Along with the appearance of the zither in Zi Shang’s hands, many people couldn’t help but hurriedly shout out in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena.
Many spectators with comparatively low cultivations hurriedly covered their ears, whereas, within this instant, the sound of the zither resounded out.
Clang! Clang!
Two ear piercing and unpleasant sounds instantly resounded out from the zither.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
At the same time, two ‘vortex point forces’ that ceaselessly revolved whistled out from the zither like two extremely swift arrows shot out from a bow.
One of the vortexes intercepted the spirit saber in Ye Xiao’s hand that flashed over.
Clang!
The sound of a zither resounded out as the spirit saber was swept to the side by the vortex, and the Origin Energy on the spirit saber dimmed down slightly, whereas, the other vortex directly flashed in full fury and like a shadow towards Ye Xiao.
Om!
When faced with this vortex that approached with full fury, Ye Xiao’s eyes squinted, and with a raise of his hand, he slashed out with his palm formed into a flat blade, heavily descending onto the vortex.
However, the vortex instead easily blasted half the Origin Energy on the ‘palm blade’ into dispersal, and then it heavily injured Ye Xiao in one go and blasted Ye Xiao flying.
At the same time that Ye Xiao flew out in a sorry state, he repeatedly spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and his countenance was ghastly pale to the extreme, whereas, the grade four spirit saber that flew out lost its supply of Origin Energy, causing it to completely dim down before falling to the ground and was barely grasped by Ye Xiao who’d just caught his breath.
"Zi Shang." Ye Xiao looked at the white clothed young man in the distance that had put away his zither and stood there since long ago, and his eyes revealed deep fear.
When did such a figure appear in the Darkhan Dynasty’s Imperial Family?
In the past, he actually didn’t have the slightest knowledge.
"He defeated his opponent in a single move once again! Zi Shang’s strength is too overbearing!"
"The phenomenon of heaven and earth are still unable to completely condense into form, and we’re unable to discern exactly how many ancient horned dragon silhouettes Zi Shang can condense from the energy of the heavens and the earth when he attacks.
"I suspect that when Zi Shang attacks with his full strength, it’s very likely he possesses the strength of more than 30 ancient horned dragons!"
"It’s possible."
…
When they saw Zi Shang defeat Ye Xiao in a single more, the Cage Battle Arena was in an uproar, as expected.
Zi Shang’s strength had shocked them once more.
Along with Zi Shang and Ye Xiao withdrawing to the side, the ranking battles continued.
"Next." As soon as the old man finished speaking, a figure swiftly flashed out to arrive in the central area of the sky above the Cage Battle Arena in the blink of an eye.
"Duan Ling Tian!" Instantly, the violet clothed young man that took the initiative to enter the arena drew the attention of everyone.
"Who should I choose…?" It was the first time that Duan Ling Tian had taken the initiative to enter the arena and challenge an opponent, and his gaze descended and flashed past each of the four young geniuses besides Ye Xiao as he carefully sized them up.
In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian noticed that besides ZI Shang, Bai Hao, and Zhang Shou Yong having a calm expression, the expression of the Second Prince, Bai He, was slightly unsightly, and his gaze was complicated.
Duan Ling Tian revealed a brilliant smile when he saw this scene, and then his gaze locked onto Bai He. "Second Prince, if I didn’t remember wrongly… You seemed to have said that you want to teach me a lesson? Now I’ll give you that chance, how about it?"
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the Cage Battle Arena was deathly silent.
Numerous strange gazes descended onto Bai He as expected, and all of them felt that Duan Ling Tian was truly too bad.
With his strength that was capable of defeating Ye Xiao with a single move, he challenged Bai Hao that was obviously inferior to Ye Xiao and even spoke such mocking words.
Wasn’t he humiliating Bai He?
"You…" Bai He’s expression went gloomy when he heard Duan Ling Tian, and when he recalled his actions of provoking Duan Ling Tian at the beginning, he wished for nothing more than to slap himself at this moment.
When he noticed the numerous strange gazes that shot over from the surroundings, he couldn’t bear it any longer, and he flew out to stand in confrontation with Duan Ling Tian before laughing coldly. "Duan Ling Tian, do you really think that I, Bai He, am afraid of you?"
"I didn’t think like this." Duan Ling Tian shook his head, and then laughed indifferently. "Then… Second Prince, please make a move."
Duan Ling Tian’s casualness caused Bai He’s expression to go ominous. "Since you want to court death, then I’ll fulfil your wis.h.!.+"
At this moment, Bai He was like a wild beast that had its tail stepped on, he was fuming with rage as he flashed out, and a spirit sword appeared out of thin air within his hand.
Right at the instant Origin Energy raged on the spirit sword in Bai He’s hand, and his Sword Concept emerged.
Duan Ling Tian moved.
Whirlwind!
Duan Ling Tian’s speed was so swift that Bai He only swap a swift afterimage flash by, and it directly flashed past him to arrive behind him.
When he reacted to this, he instantly turned around and intended to attack once more.
"Duan Ling Tian is victorious!" The old man’s voice clearly entered into Bai He’s ears.
Bai He’s expression went grim when he heard this, and then he recalled the scene when Duan Ling Tian defeated Ye Xiao earlier, causing him to hurriedly stretch out his hand and wipe his throat. The outcome was that his hand was covered in blood.
Instantly, Bai He’s expression became ghastly pale to the extreme, and he was slightly scared out of his wits
He knew that he’d lost, he’d lost completely.
He wasn’t even capable of reacting to the moment that Duan Ling Tian drew his sword.
