Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

Chapter 180 The Powerful Luo Ziyuan

Qinglongyuan contestant area.

"This Xiao Weiqing is not to be underestimated."

"Hmm, it's stronger than I expected; the level of the strange fire is quite high."

"Many people say he's even stronger than Dongfang Xuan, so it might not be untrue."

"That's possible." Luo Ziyuan nodded slightly, acknowledging his companion's words.

"Zang Yu, what do you think?"

Zang Yu remained silent, closing his eyes to rest, as if everything around him was irrelevant to him, and he did not watch the battle on the arena from beginning to end.

......

Half an hour later.

"Dongfangxuan meets Lu Heguang!"

"The match begins."

In the semifinals, apart from the audience, most people didn't have much expectation for the battle between Dongfang Xuan and Lü Heguang, as the difference in their strength was obvious to the naked eye.

As everyone expected, Lu Heguang used all his skills, relying on a divine rune-inherent weapon to launch a relentless attack, but he could not bridge the gap in strength between the two and could not pose a threat to Dongfang Xuan.

In less than five minutes, Dongfang Xuan easily defeated Lü Heguang, using only two of his innate skills.

"Dongfang Xuansheng!"

......

"Next match: Ren Jie vs. Luo Ziyuan!"

"Here it comes! We've finally waited for this moment. I didn't see how Luo Ziyuan won the last battle, so this time we'll observe carefully."

"Ren Jie! You're the best!"

"Ren Jie, keep going!"

On the arena.

Luo Ziyuan stood leisurely, holding a stick in one hand.

Ren Jie's expression was solemn as he held a large knife in his hand.

"The match begins!"

The voice just fell.

Ren Jie made the first move, holding the knife in one hand, using his feet to exert force, and pushing his speed to the limit, leaving afterimages on the stage.

"Good speed!"

Luo Ziyuan smiled.

He then kicked the long stick, which sprang back violently.

"Clang!~~"

A loud bang erupted from the center of the arena.

The blade struck the long staff, sparks flying, and at the same time, a tremendous force was transmitted from the hilt of the blade, causing Ren Jie to stagger back several steps, his heart filled with horror.

"What kind of power is this?"

Ren Jie gripped the handle tightly, trying to control the trembling blade.

"Multiple Sky-Splitting Slashes!"

There were no further attempts.

Ren Jie unleashed his full power, rhythmically swinging his broadsword, each strike faster than the last, delivering an extreme speed and multiple slashes in an instant.

Five overlapping sword strikes appeared on the arena, their power reaching its peak by the fifth strike.

"Good timing!"

Luo Ziyuan held the stick with both hands, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly thrust the stick forward, precisely blocking the blade with the tip.

"BOOM!!~"

This time, it was Luo Ziyuan who withdrew.

But he only took half a step; his other leg didn't move at all.

"How is that possible...."

"Is this the strength of the top geniuses of the Azure Dragon Academy?"

"Ren Jie is no match for him at all."

"Ren Jie is ranked third on the ladder, yet even with his innate skill, he only managed to force his opponent to retreat half a step?"

"How do we fight this?"

Everyone could see Ren Jie's predicament; Luo Ziyuan was too strong, easily blocking Ren Jie's killing move.

On the arena.

Ren Jie leaped a few times, escaping the long stick's counterattack range, and gasped for breath.

He was shocked: "Strong, too strong."

Luo Ziyuan remained calm and composed, putting away his stick and standing still, without rushing to retaliate.

"What other methods do you have?"

"You'll see!"

Ren Jie said coldly, his two dantian bursting with spiritual energy without reservation, and the blade's qi condensed, shining brightly on the arena.

He raised both hands high and swung them down with a fierce blow.

"A net that can trap you from heaven and earth!"

"cut!"

The silver blade light surged like waves, one higher than the next, forming an endless net of blades that swept over Luo Ziyuan.

Luo Ziyuan's face was filled with joy as he let the waves of sword light surge toward him.

"As a fellow martial artist, I acknowledge your strength!"

After saying that, Luo Ziyuan made his move.

Holding the end of a staff, he charged wildly towards the overwhelming flash of sword light.

"Sweeping across the universe!"

The long staff was swung up, two divine runes appeared, carrying a hundred meters of qi, and slammed heavily onto the arena.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

The sound echoed from the arena, making the ears of those in the front row ring.

Luo Ziyuan slammed the arena as if he were a pillar supporting the sky, his powerful aura, over ten feet long, crushing through countless blades.

The invisible impact sent Ren Jie flying, crashing off the stage and knocking him unconscious.

"Luo Ziyuan wins!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

If Luo Ziyuan's previous battle was somewhat confusing, then this one was a complete crushing defeat.

Both being martial arts practitioners and both at level 6, Ren Jie, ranked third on the Heavenly Ladder, was no match for Luo Ziyuan in a single exchange.

If Luo Ziyuan had made the first move, everyone would have reason to believe that Ren Jie wouldn't have even had a chance to act.

"Xiao Weiqing, is the difference in strength between the second and third Dan levels really that great?" Fei Xiaobao asked blankly.

The others also looked confused, waiting for an answer.

Qin Tian, ​​in particular, had also opened up two dantians, but he was far from being a match for Ren Jie, let alone Luo Ziyuan.

Xiao Weiqing said, "Why are you asking this? Have you opened the second or third dantian? This is not something you should be concerned about. Focusing on cultivation is the right path."

"grass!"

"Can't we just ask?"

"This Luo Ziyuan is so strong that it's a bit hard to understand."

Xue Cheng also said, "Hmm, it seems they haven't used their full strength yet."

Qin Tian said, "Xiao Weiqing, how does he compare to you? According to the rules, he will be your opponent this afternoon."

"I've never fought one, how would I know?"

"Based on intuition?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head and said in a low voice, "I can't judge. This Luo Ziyuan has obviously not shown his full strength."

"And what about yourself? What level have you reached in terms of strength?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head again, "I don't know."

"Damn it, Xiao Weiqing, you even kept it from us?" Fei Xiaobao laughed and cursed.

"I really don't know. In the Second Realm, I have no reference point."

Xiao Weiqing was not lying. When he was in the second realm, he only used his full strength against the young Jiu Tian in the No. 1 Civilization Relic. Later, as his strength grew, he did not believe that anyone in the second realm could be his opponent.

Now, because he has cultivated too fast, he has already broken through to the third realm. Comparing him to someone in the second realm is simply bullying.

If you really judge by your gut feeling, Luo Ziyuan is no match for him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

What does it mean to have no reference point?

.....

"Next match: Teng Hai vs. Zang Yu."

"Teng Hai, go get him!"

"Ji Zhiming, do you think so highly of me?"

"Of course, you're not without a chance. That guy is a spiritual cultivator, but he always uses close combat techniques. You can kite him. Now that you have the power of the strange fire, I believe he's no match for you."

Teng Hai nodded, "Okay!"

After hearing Ji Zhiming's analysis, Teng Hai felt that he was not without a chance.

Seeing Teng Hai walk towards the arena, a student from Ziyun Academy asked, "Ji Zhiming, do you really think Teng Hai has a chance to win?"

"What a load of rubbish, we're doomed to lose."

"Then why..."

Ji Zhiming said, "We can't just tell Teng Hai to give up. Come on, let's bet on how many minutes Teng Hai can hold out."

"One minute to 1.1 odds, two minutes to 1.3 odds, three minutes to 2 odds, and over three minutes to 5 odds. The maximum bet is 1,000 points."

"I'll bet 1 points for two minutes."

"I'll also bet 1 points, for two minutes."

"Damn, you guys went too far. I'm going to tell Hai-ge later."

"So, are you going to bet or not?" Ji Zhiming asked.

"I'll bet 1 points for one minute."

"I'll take a gamble and see if my bicycle can turn into a motorcycle. I'm betting 1 points, and it will take more than three minutes."

In a short time, more than ten students from Ziyun Academy placed their bets.

"Xia Mo, do you want to play?"

Xia Mo frowned upon hearing Ji Zhiming's words.

"Fine, I'm not playing anymore..."

Unexpectedly, Xia Mo asked:

"Why wasn't it half a minute?"

"?"

Everyone was stunned, finding it hard to believe that Xia Mo had said such a thing. Did she really not think highly of Hai Teng Hai?
