Once the longsword in Fang Xingjian’s hand got near to the Snake of Engulfment, he sensed that something was wrong. It was because he started to feel cold all over; his heat was being absorbed incessantly.

When his sword pierced into the Snake of Engulfment, this feeling grew stronger than before, and even his speed had started to slow down.

However, the power from the Terra Ingurgitation was truly too brutal. Even though the Snake of Engulfment was absorbing the heat from Fang Xingjian’s body incessantly… With the enhancement of the Ether Sword Ripples and the Terra Ingurgitation, the Silver Fox Styx still continued to tear through the entire Snake of Engulfment in under one thousandth of a second.

It then tapped on the giant egg the Astral Tempest had formed.

Streams of waves formed from the trembling force appeared continuously on the surfaces of the Astral Tempest. In the end, this attack caused the entire Astral Tempest to explode, bursting out like a huge egg of chaos.

The Silver Fox Styx in Fang Xingjian’s hand tore the streams of stars apart mercilessly and continued on to thrust toward Hoult, who was standing amidst the stars.

However, it seemed as though the longsword in his hand had reached its limits as well. After having channelled the force of the Terra Ingurgitation twice in a day, he then proceeded to slash through the Snake of Engulfment and Astral Tempest. When Fang Xingjian’s longsword was about to tear apart Hoult’s body, the entire longsword broke into pieces.

However, despite this, the remaining impact from the Terra Ingurgitation still burst forth, sending Hoult flying. With a bang, Hoult knocked against the ice fog the four examiners had created through combined efforts, then he gradually came to a stop.

With the final push of power, all the trembling in the battle coliseum finally came to a stop. Fortunately, the four examiners had taken measures earlier and thus, were able to block most of the impact from the attacks. It was only the many walls in the battle coliseums which had cracked. Additionally, some students, who were Knights, had dropped to the ground, but fortunately, most of them were uninjured.

The entire arena, which had been encompassed by a layer of icy fog, was now covered with frost, appearing as though there was flour everywhere. Half of Fang Xingjian’s body had also become numb, with serious frost bites. Even his internal organs as well as his blood vessels were starting to deteriorate due to having lost a massive amount of heat.

Fang Xingjian immediately sat down on the ground and started cultivating to heal his wounds. He moved his body gradually in order to create heat and heal his wounds.

Hoult spewed out a mouthful of blood and laughed loudly, “To think that your skills are one notch higher than mine. I lost even with Crimson Fire. If your Styx had not shattered at the last moment, I would be dead.”

Fang Xingjian said coldly, “You have the Astral Tempest to protect you. Even if my Styx didn’t break, it would have only injured you severely at most. It’s impossible for it to have killed you.”

After that, neither of them spoke another word. Both of them sat down cross-legged on the ground and started to heal their own wounds.

The four examiners brought down the ice fog and looked at Fang Xingjian, who was seated in the arena, and Hoult, who was seated below the arena. The result of the battle was very clear.

Moreover, they had seen the entire battle earlier.

“How was it?”

“Has Hoult lost?”

“Or did Fang Xingjian lose?”

Chatter started to break out from amidst the stands. The speed of the final attack had been too fast and too strong. 99% of the people present had not been able to see it clearly and, thus, did not know what had happened.

Everyone’s gazes were fixed in the direction of the arena, waiting for the results of this match in great anticipation.

Governor Devitt fell stunned for a short moment, but in the next moment, the great deal of words he had wanted to say turned into a single line.

He said, “Then let me announce that this year’s Regional Champion is Kirst Academy’s Fang Xingjian!”

The battle coliseum fell silent for a moment. Then in next moment, a tremendous amount of sound exploded loudly.

Countless people stood up, cheering, cursing, and shouting as though they were celebrating the birth of this year’s Regional Champion.
