Chapter 418: The Gold Content of the Top Spot
“Li Yifeng!”
“Li Yifeng actually showed up!”
“He’s personally taking down the Yun Zhonghe team?!”
The name Li Yifeng reverberated like thunder in the bustling spectator area, making the air shudder as if struck by a sonic boom.
As Yun Zhonghe, the dark horse, eliminated more than ten teams in one go, everyone needed a moment to catch their breath. The battle was so intense it made hearts race uncontrollably.
But little did they know, things were about to take a wild turn. At this critical moment, Li Yifeng—described as the top “Genius”—leapt into action, turning what was about to be a calm moment into yet another thrilling climax.
Li Yifeng’s sudden appearance not only caught the Yun Zhonghe team off guard but also reignited the spectators’ racing hearts with renewed ferocity.
It felt like someone viciously tugged on their reins, grinned devilishly, and coldly said, “Who said you could stop moving? Keep going!”
Oh no, we can’t handle this anymore, we’re going to explode!
…
The grand competition reached its nail-biting conclusion, all suspense converging at one pivotal moment.
There was no doubt the champion would come from these two teams.
Though Yun Zhonghe had heard rumors about Li Yifeng’s godlike strength and superhuman physical abilities, no one truly understood how terrifying he was until they saw it with their own eyes!
A single casual punch from him could eliminate anyone. No one could stand up to his might.
Even Mu Jixue’s ice shield, which she had conjured out of desperation, crumbled like glass in Li Yifeng’s hand. Mu Jixue got blasted away afterwards, barely managing to stay on her feet.
“Ah!”
Mu Jixue lay sprawled on the ground, struggling under the barrage.
Such a monster shouldn’t even exist!
But just as Li Yifeng was about to capitalize on his advantage and eliminate her, Mu Jixue proved to be more formidable than expected. Despite being hit, her ice shield deflected the attack.
Looks like I’ll need to ramp this up!
Li Yifeng glared with chilling intensity, gathering every ounce of his power.
In the nick of time, Qin Hongye and Xia Linglong responded swiftly, combining their efforts to hold him back, keeping their team from crumbling completely.
However, their combined strength alone was insufficient to stall such a formidable opponent for long.
After merely two breaths, they couldn’t hold out any longer.
Qin Hongye and Xia Linglong were also likely to be taken out soon.
“This guy… has changed drastically since last year, becoming way too powerful!”
“Li Yifeng definitely has the potential to challenge the peak of the Yuan Ying realm!”
Qin Hongye thought frantically. This seemingly ordinary young man looked plain, yet inside was a powerhouse beyond comprehension!
Every clash made them feel the crushing force that almost tore the fabric of space, weighing heavily on their hearts.
Delaying was only a temporary measure. Without finding a way to break through, they would join Lin Zhongyu and others in being eliminated.
Qin Hongye constantly altered her hand seals, pouring in spiritual energy until fiery flames burst from her fingertips, turning the sky into a blazing rain. Unhesitatingly, she unleashed her Evil Desire Imperial Fire, aiming to jolt Li Yifeng’s mind and distract him.
But it only made him momentarily dazed before snapping back to life like a awakened tiger. With effortless strikes, he extinguished the raging flames.
“Tsk… This guy is really strong!” Qin Hongye muttered, beads of sweat forming on her brow, pressing on with her fire techniques.
The fire rained down, signaling an end of days, while Xia Linglong dodged and weaved like a graceful flame sprite. Her Spirit Sword burned brightly under the fiery deluge.
The flames that Qin Hongye had barely extinguished earlier now revived under Xia Linglong’s skillful guidance, transforming into swirling rivers of devastating black-red flames aimed straight at Li Yifeng’s midsection.
Southern Heaven Sacred Flame Sword Technique!
Building upon her training under Yun Zhonghe, Xia Linglong advanced her Southern Heaven Fire sword technique to become the Heaven Grade Southern Heaven Sacred Flame Sword Technique.
Embers could ignite a wildfire; flames extinguished would come back stronger.
Where the blade passed, air itself seemed to ignite, leaving trails of unavoidable, fierce energy.
Li Yifeng narrowed his eyes sharply.
No sign of evasion or defense, as the blade neared, his expression didn’t change. Instead, he stretched out his hand and seized the blazing holy flame!
Yes, he caught the holy flame sword that could melt even the finest steel in his bare hand!
Holy flame exploded forth, scorching his palm and causing sharp pain, yet he showed no signs of discomfort, remaining calm and focused.
Simultaneously, a glowing aura formed around his body.
Xia Linglong gasped. Is that a high-level magic?
It wasn’t just any high-level magic.
Secret Art of Hardening!
Xia Linglong strained to identify it. Just as she saw a hint of it, she felt her sword solidifying beneath her control.
She was shocked and desperately poured in spiritual energy to keep the holy flame burning bright.
Then, another glow unexpectedly lit up her body.
“There’s more?!”
Xia Linglong nearly panicked. Another advanced technique!
Imprisoning Secret Art!
She felt herself trapped within an invisible cage, spatial restrictions locking down her body and spiritual energy slowing to a crawl.
The holy flame dimmed under this mystic force.
“Advanced magic?!”
“Is Li Yifeng still maintaining his focus?”
“That’s impossible! His mental state wouldn’t be that high.”
“Wait, is that… Zhao Lingxiao?!”
Spectators spotted something through the haze, immediately zeroing in on the distant figure of Zhao Lingxiao!
This genius, also dubbed a prodigy, was providing remote assistance to Li Yifeng.
His hands were weaving intricate spells, channels of spiritual energy swirling around him. A copper cup hovered above his head, emitting pure spiritual energy, fueling Li Yifeng’s continuous assault.
A magical item capable of quickly replenishing spiritual energy.
The crowd erupted into chaos, astonished, “What? Two geniuses are teaming up?!”
