Everlasting Chapter 357: Lightning Essence Ar (1/2)

“Yes. The two of them are at the same level. However, his opponent's fleshly body is too strong. Additionally, the amount of primary energy within his opponent's body is abnormally high. More importantly, he is cultivating a very overbearing cultivation technique. Even the staff in his hand is a very good Prized artefact. It seems Brother Li will not be able to hold on for much longer,” Chen Feng said.

As expected, after ten more clashes, another swing from the opponent's staff caused the weapon in Li Lang's hand to fall while his body flinched. Li Lang could not stop his body from flying backwards.

“So? Do you still want to continue?” the disciple said with a serious tone.

“No need. I've lost.” Li Lang was quick to throw in the towel. He knew that he was no match for this disciple.

After Li Lang was Luo Kong. Luo Kong had lost to Jian Kongming last time. However, since his cultivation base was lower than Jian Kongming, he had another chance to partic.i.p.ate.

This time, Luo Kong was very lucky. His opponent was a disciple at level 2 of the Sky Human stage. Not long after their match began, Luo Kong's Great Splitter Sword Technique sent the disciple flying. Luo Kong easily won his match.

Next, however, Shui Yan encountered a problem.

Shui Yan's cultivation base at level 3 of the Sky Human stage could already be considered decent in the Grand Compet.i.tion. However, his opponent for this round was a disciple who utilized the five elements.

After a fierce battle, the two of them were mutually wounded. In the end, the two of them lay on the ground, incapable of getting up anymore. The supervising elders determined that their fight had ended with a draw. Then, after a round of deliberation by several of the elders there, they decided that the two of them made it through to the next round. Even so, judging by their wounds, it would be hard for them to fully recover before their next matches.

After the result was announced, Chen Feng and Zhou You quickly brought Shui Yan back. After treating him for a while, Shui Yan woke up.

“Phew! My soul is already wounded from this fight. I don't think I can partic.i.p.ate in the next match,” Shui Yan said with a bitter smile.

“Brother Shui, don't worry. I have enough demonic soul stones on me,” said Chen Feng, who brought out a small pile of demonic soul stones.

Meanwhile, Zhou You brought out some medicinal pills.

“These medicinal pills can also restore soul power. Hopefully, you can recover as much as possible before your next match,” Zhou You said.

Next up was Zhou You. His opponent was Zhao Yizhan.

“It's Zhao Yizhan!” Luo Kong said.

“Zhao Yizhan is the strongest disciple that Extreme Celestial Hall sent forth for this compet.i.tion. His strength is very high. There is probably no chance for Brother Zhou this match.” Luo Kong sighed.

Chen Feng had been paying attention to these experts during the first three rounds. Zhao Yizhan gave Chen Feng the impression of someone who hid his abilities very well. In every one of his matches, Zhao Yizhan would fight his opponent for some time before winning, seemingly by a hair's breadth without revealing his true strength. However, Chen Feng was not the only one to have noticed that. The other disciples had also realized that.

“I have heard that Zhao Yizhan cultivates the Lightning Essence Art. Even by sect standards, it is a high-level magic technique that the likes of us don't even have the qualifications to cultivate. In the first three rounds, Zhao Yizhan did not reveal his true strength. This time, however, we should be able to see some clues,” Luo Kong said.

Seeing Zhao Yizhan step forward, almost all the spectating cultivators turned their attention towards him. The eyes of Gui Lanhai, Fu Yue and the others lit up. Clearly, these elites amongst the elites considered Zhao Yizhan as their greatest opponent.

After entering the arena, Zhou You's silvery-white hair immediately billowed upwards and the Asura Blade in his hand began radiating with a dazzling electrical luminescence.

“A grade 6 Prized artefact, Asura Blade. Not bad. It is worthy of facing my true strength. Make your move, then,” Zhao Yizhan said with a smile.

Zhao Yizhan's stature was not too big and no atmosphere emerged from his body. And yet, he was able to bring about a faint feeling of oppression upon Zhou You. Zhou You understood that he was facing a truly formidable opponent.

Shua!

The Asura Blade seemingly hacked straight down and arrived before Zhao Yizhan.

Zhou You had attacked.

Zhou You's family had quite the foundation. Although it was not as big as Extreme Celestial Sect, it was still much stronger compared to those smaller, second-rate sects.

The Asura Blade in Zhou You's hand was his family's legacy Prized artefact. After Zhou You entered Extreme Celestial Sect, the blade was officially given to Zhou You.

A grade 6 Prized artefact. If Zhou You could fully unleash its power, he could dominate a considerable territory within the world of cultivation.

Bang!

A clump of lightning abruptly exploded and Zhou You felt his hand stiffening. Surprisingly, his opponent had caught the Asura Blade with his bare hands.

At that very moment, Zhao Yizhan had both palms pressed together to hold the Asura Blade tightly in place. Lightning bolts roared out from his palms and he was able to block Zhou You's attack with his hands alone.

“A good blade,” Zhao Yizhan said with a smile.

“Is that so?” Zhou You replied. Next, the Asura Blade in his hand abruptly unleashed a high number of lightning bolts. Surprisingly, there was a high number of lightning bolts hidden within the Asura Blade. The sudden emergence of the eye-piercing lightning bolts forced those spectators with lesser cultivation bases to close their eyes.

Sou!

Zhao Yizhan hastily backed away, but the Asura Blade in Zhou You's hand fired out a thick bolt of lightning at Zhao Yizhan.

Bang!

The attack struck Zhao Yizhan. At the same time, lightning bolts wrapped up Zhao Yizhan's body.

“Great!” Luo Mingdao and some others uttered, feeling pleasantly surprised.

“Something is not right.” Chen Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

“Yes, something is not right,” Luo Kong said.
