59 Long Xue's strength

The spectator went silent when they saw Tuo Mantian lie unconscious on the ground. A peak genius of the Endless Forces Continent had been defeated just like that?!

Although the guy wasn't the strongest or the best in the tournament, the crowd still expected for a long, arduous match, with both sides giving their all. Yet what had happened? The fight didn't even last 10 seconds before it ended.

As they watched Zhuang Yang descend the stage, all of them couldn't help but think. 'He's from the Eternal Glory Sect...would the other disciples be that fearsome as well?' As they thought of this, they looked at the other four disciples that came from the same sect.

They each had a perfect battle record since the start of the tournament, sweeping the chosen representatives from various powerful influences. 'Would they also win their fights, dominating their opponents in an overwhelming fashion?' they thought as they looked forward to the coming fights.

The city lord was stunned for a few seconds even after the match had already ended. Regaining his calm, he announced the end of the first match and the start of the second one.

Second match: Long Xue vs. Ling Yushi.

The crowd's mouth all drooled as they stared at the two kingdom-toppling beauties.Long Xue had a royal and noble demeanor akin to a celestial princess or a warrior maiden, both incredibly beautiful and valiant at the same time.

On the other hand, Ling Yushi had a gentler air around her, when one looked at her, he or she wouldn't be able but be attracted to her disposition that was akin to a beautiful jade. Her aura was also like a spring, making one unable to help but have the desire to protect her.

In front of countless eyes that focused on them, the two beauties ascended the stage with calmness. Long Xue didn't know why but due to her master, her mindset had changed. Her views on things previously were now different, it was as if her mind had improved to a whole new level. Her views broadened as she felt that she finally left that "well" with her being the frog within.

Standing at the arena, she felt calm even under the eyes of innumerable people. Her focus was the opponent in front of her. Ling Yushi also sized her up as she looked at her up and down.

Ling Yushi couldn't help but get surprised as she stared at Long Xue. She had to admit that out of all the female peers in her generation that she had met, Long Xue was amongst the top.

Zhou Congyi raised his hand and waved it downwards, officially starting the second match.

Ling Yushi took out her weapon which was a zither, a weapon perfectly befitting her. Long Xue also took her sword out as dragon aura started emitting from her.

{Dragon Emperor Art}!

At once Long Xue used the {Dragon Emperor Art}, seizing the first attack as she dashed forward. Dazzling light covered her sword as a shadow of a dragon appeared behind her. Swinging downwards, space and wind was ripped apart as the sword swung down violently.

*Roar*

The dragon cried out, shaking the heavens, as it attacked Ling Yushi. Ling Yushi's expression became solemn as she started plucking the strings of the zither. A hypnotic sound suddenly reverberated in the surroundings, making one feel weaker and sleepier.

Even some of the spectators felt the dream-like energy that spread everywhere as some of them started dozing off. Of course, those with higher cultivator base simply used their superior cultivation to shake off the technique. As the hypnotic melody spread everywhere, Long Xue was of course affected as well.

Long Xue frowned as she felt the melody that Ling Yushi used to affect her soul. It was as if her soul was being numbed by the sound and she didn't know what to do exactly since this was her first time fighting someone that attacked focused on attacking one's soul.

It wasn't just her soul that was affected but her body too as her movement slowed them, being hindered by the melody's soul attack. Ling Yushi smiled as she saw her opponent's predicament. She strung the zither once more as a pink light suddenly emanated from her body. It slithered towards Long Xue akin to a snake crawl towards its prey.

Long Xue knew that it was a soul attack due to it being formless and ghostly-looking. Yelling loudly, she gathered all her momentum as she unleashed a great density of heavenly energy. Suddenly, the shadow dragon behind her started growing, from the original 10-meter long dragon, it's size increased up to 50 meters, and then 100 meters.

Seeing the dragon continuously grow to the point that it was almost a real dragon, everyone in the arena couldn't help but marvel at the scene. The dragon was incredibly lifelike as it flew in the air, roaring towards the firmament. Even the dragon aura was authentic, leaving both the higher realm and lower realm cultivators in awe. The city lord as well had wide eyes and jaws dropped as he stared at the majestic dragon that seemed too real.

Ling Yushi tried to release a more violent sound to the point that it's capable of incapacitating targets through a sonic attack to both body and soul. However, the dragon released a soul-shaking roar, 'destroying' the invisible sonic attack, leaving Ling Yushi with a pale face.

She continuously released all kinds of melodies and sounds with different properties, hoping to at least stop Long Xue's advance. But everything was pointless in front of absolute power, Long Xue strode forward carrying the momentum of a royalty and majesty of a dragon empress.

Destructive energy gathered around Long Xue as she raised her sword and swung down with towering might.

Although her face was ashen and pale, there wasn't any panic as Ling Yushi stared at the incoming attack with a serene expression. She bowed her head and said at Long Xue with a smile. "You win."

Even though she heard her words, Long Xue didn't stop her attack, not just because she doesn't want to but she also couldn't. This attack of hers contained her strongest momentum and strength, drawing it back would result in some backlash on her, therefore, she just attacked with no hesitation.

*Bang*

The sword collided with Ling Yushi. However, just before it struck her, a radiant light suddenly exuded from her as a talisman-looking item floated out form her. The radiant light covered her body, and like a barrier, protected her from Long Xue's attack.

Stepping back, Ling Yushi smiled and bowed at Long Xue, admitting her defeat in this battle. On the other side, Long Xue didn't say anything and simply glanced at Ling Yushi and nodded her head, acknowledging her.

The short exchange of attacks dazzled the crowd as they intensely watched. After they saw Long Xue's final attack that contained the might of a dragon, everyone knew that the battle was over and that she had won.

Zhou Congyi stared at Long Xue for a long while before shifting his gaze to the audience and announcing the end of the second match.
