Chapter 12
: A sweeping victory, 1st place in the competition!
"The competition begins."
With a command from the disciple in charge.
Zhou Kun dared not delay, and immediately formed hand seals and began chanting incantations.
"Entwined by blue silver grass."
In an instant, countless blue vines as thick as an arm burst forth from the hard blue stone arena, like venomous snakes, frantically coiling towards Xiao Fan.
This magic technique emphasizes winning by surprise.
Once entangled, the poisonous thorns on the vines will be injected into the opponent's body, paralyzing their spiritual power and leaving them vulnerable to attack.
Many of the disciples below the stage gasped in surprise upon seeing this.
However, Xiao Fan showed no fear in the face of the overwhelming vines.
He didn't even try to dodge.
He simply snorted and took a step forward.
boom.
A surge of powerful golden energy erupted from his body.
His body surface seemed to be coated with a faint golden glow.
That powerful and domineering masculine aura caused even the delicate vines to pause in their tracks.
Immediately afterwards, he threw a punch.
Simple, direct, and without any frills.
The air crackled as the fist passed by.
The tough blue vines, the moment they touched his fist, were easily crushed into countless fragments, as if they were made of paper.
Zhou Kun's expression changed drastically. Before he could even unleash his second spell, Xiao Fan's figure had already appeared in front of him.
A palm gently landed on his chest.
Zhou Kun felt an irresistible force, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily off the stage.
One move, and the enemy is defeated.
The entire venue fell silent.
No one expected that Xiao Fan, who was usually unremarkable and even somewhat unknown, would possess such formidable physical strength.
On the high platform, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of several elders.
Only Lu Yuan remained calm, his expression as still as a deep well.
Originally, in the inner sect competition, there was also Jiang Xuan, the grandson of the Grand Elder, who was able to barely suppress Xiao Fan with his cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining and his Formless Demonic Art.
But now, Jiang Xuan is imprisoned.
No one in the entire inner sect could surpass Xiao Fan.
He swept through the entire field.
Whether the opponent is a spiritual cultivator skilled in magic or a sword cultivator skilled in flying swords, none can withstand his domineering and unparalleled punch.
He won several more matches in a row, and finally, he faced a truly formidable opponent.
Qin Lie, ranked fifth among the Ten Outstanding Inner Disciples.
This person wielded a crimson longsword, and his blazing sword technique had been cultivated to an unparalleled level.
"Xiao Fan, your physical body is indeed very strong." Qin Lie stood on the arena, his fighting spirit high. "However, this ends here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he trembled his long sword, and streams of scorching sword energy instantly enveloped the entire arena.
"Three cascading waves of raging flames".
With a single slash, he unleashed three fiery waves, each higher than the last, sealing off all of Xiao Fan's escape routes.
This strike already possessed the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The audience held their breath.
Faced with this deadly attack, a look of seriousness finally appeared on Xiao Fan's face.
He knew that he would probably not be able to withstand it with his physical strength alone.
He no longer held back, and the golden energy and blood within his body began to circulate at an unprecedented speed.
Behind him, a strange scene slowly emerged.
It was a chaotic void, where a blue lotus flower was born from nothingness, swaying gently, as if carrying the supreme Daoist essence of creation.
A divine manifestation, a blue lotus sprouted from chaos.
Although it was just a blurry phantom, it exuded a terrifying aura that suppressed all ages.
The illusory image of the blue lotus trembled slightly, and an invisible ripple spread outwards.
The three raging waves of fire blades, upon contact with this ripple, seemed to have met their nemesis, their power diminished drastically, and they ultimately vanished without a trace.
"What?" Qin Lie's expression changed drastically.
Xiao Fan seized the opportunity and moved with lightning speed, closing in instantly.
A punch landed squarely on Qin Lie's chest.
Qin Lie's long sword flew out of his hand, and he was sent flying backward, defeated.
This battle completely cemented Xiao Fan's status as the dark horse of this competition.
Soon, the inner sect competition reached its final battle.
Xiao Fan's opponent is Liu Tianhao, the second strongest among the Ten Outstanding Inner Disciples.
Liu Tianhao was burly and had a rugged face.
He stepped onto the arena, each step causing the hard bluestone floor to emit a dull thud.
"Xiao Fan, your physical body is very strong." Liu Tianhao's voice was deep and resonant. "Perfect, I also specialize in physical cultivation, so let's see whose fist is harder."
As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a low roar and began to circulate his body-refining technique.
"Diamond-like Crystal Body".
In an instant, a layer of golden light seeped out from beneath his skin. His body seemed to transform into a Vajra Arhat cast from gold and lapis lazuli, with a solemn and majestic appearance, full of an indestructible sense of power.
The arena beneath his feet cracked under the force.
Xiao Fan looked at Liu Tianhao, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
He could sense that the other party's physical body was indeed incredibly strong.
Although it is far inferior to his own Ancient Sacred Body, it is still enough to pose a slight threat to ordinary second-tier demonic beasts.
Without saying a word, the two charged at each other.
boom!
The dull thuds of punches landing echoed continuously across the ring.
The two clashed in the most primal and savage way.
Xiao Fan's usually invincible golden blood energy didn't gain him much advantage this time.
Liu Tianhao's Vajra Glazed Body possessed astonishing defensive power, barely managing to withstand the force of his punch.
"That's great!" Liu Tianhao laughed loudly, his attacks becoming even more ferocious.
Xiao Fan snorted coldly and decided to hold back no longer.
"You're worthy of my full strength!"
He took a deep breath, and his magical power and blood energy gathered in his right fist in a special way.
"Great Sun Vajra Fist".
This is a supreme fist technique taught to him by his master, Venerable Medicine. It is extremely powerful, but each time it is used, it puts a great strain on the body.
A scorching aura emanated from his fist.
At this moment, he quietly activated a strange flame within his body, the Glazed Golden Flame.
Golden flames covered his entire right arm.
He threw a punch.
In the dim light, everyone seemed to see a divine golden crow phantom flash past behind his fist.
This punch seemed to transform into a real miniature sun.
Liu Tianhao's expression changed drastically. He activated his Vajra Glazed Body to its limit, crossed his arms, and held them in front of him.
boom.
The golden fist collided violently with the glass-like body.
Click.
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
Liu Tianhao's indestructible Vajra-like body was actually cracked by this punch.
He was struck as if by a severe blow, and flew backward, falling off the ring.
The outcome is decided.
