Xue Ying walked up to the arena and calmly stood there, facing the gray-cloaked man who had also just arrived there.
“Greetings, Dong Bo. I do hope you will go easy on me,” Yan Feng saluted without hesitation.
Xue Ying was momentarily startled before replying frankly, “Who dies and who lives is never certain in the arena battle. Don’t resent me for being merciless.”
Yan Feng awkwardly laughed.
What a joke.
With just a thousand experts from the entire Calm Sea Prefecture being selected, it meant that no more than a single person from each starfield was a ranker! How could he be careless when fighting any of these people? Would he not fall into a trap if he was too careless?
Who would have thought that this brat who cultivated for no more than 2,000 years would show no arrogance even on this Myriad Flower Feast’s arena stage. Yan Feng seemed awkward on the outside, but deep inside his heart, he had a shrewd nature. His plan was to make use of his opponent’s arrogance during the battle. Being able to rank in the top 1,000, his combat power was relatively close to an entry World Deity’s.
He was much stronger than the red-haired man, Xue Yun, from before and the rest.
“The two of you, prepare yourselves.” A golden-armored commander began operating the arrays from below the arena, and an enormous confinement array materialized around it. It was like a blanket shrouding the entire battle platform, with only a hourglass being left inside.
“Begin,” the golden-armored commander ordered.
Shua shua shua!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Yan Feng began to brandish his saber.
At that moment, a total of seven identical figures of Yan Feng moved out in different directions, seeking to attack Xue Ying.
“Hmph.” The Great Chaotic True Force within Xue Ying’s body moved into operation, and he swept his spear across once. In response to his attack, the surrounding space turned dark and crumbled apart. The surging power caused all those seven bodies of Yan Feng to turn into dust in an instant. Unlike the ranking battle, when the opponents would gradually increase in power, this stage was a straight-up battle in which people were gambling their lives! Xue Ying put his Great Chaotic True Force to use from the very start and followed up with his secret skill.
A single move was enough to shroud the surrounding space into darkness, sending it crumbling apart.
Still in his original position, Yan Feng stared at this scene with a trembling heart. He immediately shouted out, “I admit defeat!”
Ahead of him, he could see space in a range of fifty kilometers around Xue Ying having completely crumbled apart. This level of might sent his heart trembling from just watching from afar. Not only that, his illusory wind clones had actually received that power directly. They might not have been as strong as his true body, with only about 50% of its power, but even still…seven clones had been extinguished before even coming into contact with the spear.
Just how powerful was that?
It was certainly far beyond the power of a new World Deity.
“Yan Feng has admitted defeat. Dong Bo is victorious!” the golden-armored commander shouted loudly from below the stage.
In any arena battle, the victor and loser could be decided either by one side admitting defeat or either party dying during battle!
“He admitted defeat? Just like that?”
“He didn’t even truly act, right?”
“This Yan Feng guy is still in his original spot, and he merely scouted out a bit, yet he was actually frightened to that degree?”
“He was too quick to admit defeat…”
The many spectators were discussing amongst themselves.
“Idiot! That guy is truly an idiot. He didn’t even fight for real before admitting defeat.” Within the sea of spectators was a certain group of legion soldiers sitting protectively next to a silver-robed teenager. He was none other than General Ying, who showed a cold and scheming expression. With three more years having passed since that event, General Ying’s eyes were now even more terrifying and evil, but he could still maintain some fundamental degree of calmness.
“Is there really nobody in that group who has strength enough to defeat this Dong Bo? Or at least give him a hard time?” General Ying felt displeased at how the battles were going.
Of course, he was against Dong Bo winning.
In the first place, he was too dazzling and too young! Anyone could easily tell he would have an immeasurable potential in the future. General Ying, however, had reached the final moments of his life, and even whatever power he had was not gained through personal strength but by means of his father’s help. Comparing himself to Xue Ying left General Ying even more unhappy, and his loathing for Xue Ying only further increased.
“Beautiful.”
“Formidable, Xue Ying is truly formidable.”
“They didn’t even truly fight, yet his opponent was still left so frightened that he took the initiative to admit defeat.” The Deities from the Xia Clan, including Jing Qiu, were watching the battle in joy. They were standing in a certain corner in that sea of spectators.
