Chapter 495: I Will Only Use Three Strikes!

“In that case, brother, you shall make your move.”

Xiao Chenggan stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm and composed as if victory was within his grasp.

Indeed, among his peers, Xiao Chenggan was the first to advance to the nascent soul realm. Moreover, it was bound to happen.

Therefore, most of the people who wanted to compete with him on the stage were core formation realm cultivators. Although the few people from the Northern Plains were somewhat troublesome, after these few days of harsh cultivation, Xiao Chenggan had already condensed the embryonic form of his dharma idol. He was confident that he would be invincible!

Moreover, the other party was just an unknown nobody. What was there to be afraid of?

“I’m not talented. I’m just ranked 21st on the Men’s List. I would like to ask Crown Prince Xiao for some advice!”

He Qi laughed loudly. He slapped the scabbard and the Yanling Saber flew out, sending itself into He Qi’s hands.

“Why is He Qi here?”

Not far away, Feng Lian frowned as she looked at the people on the stage.

However, she then remembered that He Qi seemed to be traveling around the world with Victor…

“Does that mean that… Victor is also here?”

At this point in her obsession, Feng Lian looked around and indeed saw Victor’s figure.

The latter happened to look at her and made a gesture indicating for her to remain silent. Feng Lian nodded and did not make a sound.

On the stage, He Qi and Xiao Chenggan stood opposite each other but neither side made a move.

“Crown Prince Xiao, today is your big day. As for me, I don’t want to waste everyone’s time. How about this? I’ll only use three slashes. After three slashes, if you manage to survive, then it’ll be my loss.”

“He Qi, I know you. You’re the general of the Central Plains Sect Alliance.”

“Haha, from now on, there will only be more and more people who know me!”

As soon as He Qi finished speaking, his smile suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression.

In the next moment, He Qi lightly flicked the body of the Yanling Saber. An enormous saber intent gushed out, setting off gusts of violent wind!

“First saber!”

Bang!

A muffled sound spread out, and smoke and dust rose into the air!

On the stage, He Qi held the saber with one hand and hacked toward Xiao Chenggan. The latter pointed out a finger, using his extremely powerful soul power to resist.

He was unharmed!

“Crown Prince Xiao is indeed capable. Second saber!”

He Qi grinned and pulled back his Yanling Blade at the same time. He poured all of his qi into the Yanling Blade and slashed downward from top to bottom. The blade qi he emitted had already torn apart the solid bluestone slabs!

It was useless.

To Xiao Chenggan, blocking the second slash was no different from blocking the first slash!

As long as He Qi did not use the thousand-foot-long heavenly blade, he would not be able to break through Xiao Chenggan’s soul power no matter what.

Therefore, after 15 minutes, all three blades were unleashed, but Xiao Chenggan was still unharmed.

“Crown Prince Xiao is indeed worthy of his reputation. I, He Qi, am convinced.”

He Qi cupped his hands and sheathed the Yanling Blade in his hand. He then turned around and jumped off the stage.

“The first round, Xiao Chenggan wins!”

“Fighting and killing are boring. Xiao Chenggan, you are the first person in your generation to advance to the nascent soul realm, yet you are marrying the famous Princess Linyang. I have to say, I am very jealous.”

As his voice was heard, a white robe suddenly appeared on the ring. It was Feng Yangyan, a disciple of the Peerless Academy.

Since He Qi was the first one to start, there were naturally people who would take over.

“When I was in the core formation realm, I was no match for Brother Feng. Hence, I was eager to advance to the nascent soul realm as soon as possible. Now that I’m in the nascent soul realm, I hope Brother Feng won’t mind me taking advantage of it.”

“No, of course not.”

Feng Yangyan waved his hand indifferently and took out a brush from his sleeve. He continued, “Crown Prince Xiao, I’ve always wanted to learn from you. Today, I finally have the chance to.”

“To be able to fight with Brother Feng is a joy in life.”

“The elders of the academy always say that I don’t look like a scholar. Heh, I’ve never thought of myself as a scholar. What’s the use of fame and fortune? Good wine and beautiful women are the real deals. Crown Prince Xiao, be prepared!”

“An Army with Thousands of Soldiers and Horses, appear!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yangyan waved his brush and ink flew out. It was actually turning into a scroll!

From that scroll, thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out and roared as they charged toward Xiao Chenggan!

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chenggan laughed lightly. His soul power surged and exploded with a powerful impact. He scattered the soldiers and horses. Following that, Xiao Chenggan pointed out a finger. A clear light flashed and charged toward Feng Yangyan!

“Small tricks!”

Feng Yangyan placed the brush in front of his chest, and with a shake of his wrist, the clear light immediately disappeared.

“An Eye for an Eye!”

Following his words, the clear light actually turned around and shot toward Xiao Chenggan.

“Good move, Brother Feng! However, a fake is ultimately a fake.”

The corners of Xiao Chenggan’s mouth curled up, and with a flick of his sleeve, he dispersed the clear light.

“Crown Prince Xiao, your words are wrong. What is true and what is fake? You can’t just base them off your own words.”

Feng Yangyan threw out the brush and it instantly turned into the size of a long spear. Then, Feng Yangyan took the brush and threw it out. It was a shocking spiritual blade!

“Shadow!”

Feng Yangyan formed a spell in his hand and the spiritual blade instantly turned into hundreds of thousands of blades that attacked Xiao Chenggan in all directions!

“Mixing up the real and fake blades as a means of confusion. Crow Prince Xiao, if you can solve this move, it’s my loss.”

“In that case, Brother Feng, sorry for offending you.”

Boom!

In the next moment, countless spiritual blades shot toward Xiao Chenggan, stirring up a cloud of dust!

However, seeing this scene, Feng Yangyan frowned, cupped his hands, and disappeared from the arena.

It was not until the dust dispersed that everyone realized that Xiao Chenggan had already formed the embryonic form of the dharma idol.

“It has only been a few days since you advanced to the nascent soul realm, but you have already formed the embryonic form of your dharma idol. Prince Xiao is indeed amazing. I have lost.”

Feng Yangyan’s voice echoed in the arena, but his figure had long disappeared.

“The second match, Xiao Chenggan wins!”

“Tsk, boring.”

Not far away, looking at Xiao Chenggan who had won consecutively, Victor pursed his lips. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that both He Qi and Feng Yang Yan did not use their full strength at all. There was no purpose to this.

“I say… Foster father, is this how you guys are planning to humiliate the Xiao family?”

“Of course not, they are only used as a foil. The real protagonist is over there!”

As he spoke, Jian Haomiao shot a glance at Bai Tianjiao who was not far away and continued, “Among the people present, only the Great Snow Mountain and my Sword Cleansing Pond would dare to directly slap the Xiao family in the face. The others are more or less afraid.

“Of course, if you want to make a move, you definitely can.”

“Me? I’d better forget it. I’m afraid that Xiao Chenggan won’t be able to take it.”

Victor shook his head and rejected Jian Haomiao’s good intentions.

This was not Victor putting on an act. If he were to make a move, after all, he would unleash an unparalleled sword intent.

At that time, if he were to really injure Xiao Chenggan, Victor would not be able to bear it.

“Tsk, brat, boasting is not a good quality.”

“You don’t believe me?”

“Of course I don’t believe you. Although your nurtured sword intent is not bad, it’s still not enough to break the dharma idol of the nascent soul realm. How about this, if you can defeat that Xiao Chenggan, I will fulfill one of your wishes.”
