Watching as the Demon Suppression Seal in Nie Yun's eyes continuously expanded, Zhao Letian immediately mobilized the latent Bloodline Power within his body.
In the next moment, a tearing sound was heard, and Nie Yun's body suddenly swelled in size, bursting his upper black robe and revealing a set of muscles as solid as if they were cast from refined steel.
Immediately after, the previously immobile Nie Yun, who was supposed to be suppressed by the Demon Suppression Seal, suddenly raised his fist and shattered the incoming Demon Suppression Seal with a punch.
"What incredible Physical Strength, is this his Bloodline Power?" Zhao Letian's eyes were filled with disbelief, his heart profoundly shocked.
It is known that even Shentu Yunbao, with his True Martial Fifth Realm cultivation, was affected by the Demon Suppression Seal and could hardly move freely. As for Zhao Lingfeng, who is in the True Martial Fourth Realm, he would be completely immobilized. However, Nie Yun, with only the True Martial Second Realm cultivation, was able to move and even counterattack to shatter the Demon Suppression Seal after deploying his Bloodline Power, which was utterly unbelievable, although, at this time, the power of the Demon Suppression Seal was already greatly reduced.
Just then, Nie Yun, having used his Bloodline Power, suddenly flickered and rushed toward Zhao Letian at an astonishing speed with his fist.
"What incredible speed." Zhao Letian was slightly startled and also raised his fist, channeling his Three Armor Power and met him head-on.
When their fists collided, the sound was like thunder exploding, and both felt a terrifying force rushing from the other's fist. As a result, both were pushed back almost the same distance, once again ending in a stalemate.
"This is impossible! Absolutely no one of the same level can contend with my Bloodline Power, how did you do it?" Nie Yun was even more astonished than before. He could accept being slightly overpowered in martial skills, but Bloodline Power was his greatest reliance and pride, the source of his confidence.
After utilizing his Bloodline Power, his Physical Strength would undergo a qualitative enhancement, significantly improving both his speed and strength. Even if looking throughout the entire War King City, it would be hard to find someone of the same level who could contend with him. Yet, Zhao Letian, hailing from a small place, was able to match him blow for blow without falling behind, which was completely unreasonable.
"How did you manage that?" Zhao Letian was quite frustrated in his heart, also greatly shocked. It was his first time encountering someone who could compete with him in Physical Strength at the same level. Nie Yun, indeed, was a genius of War King City, truly having the right to be arrogant, and simply not someone ordinary local geniuses could compare with.
However, it was mainly because Nie Yun possessed Bloodline Power. If excluding Bloodline Power, comparing just their Physical Strength, Nie Yun definitely couldn't match him.
But then again, although Bloodline Power is inherited from powerful ancestors, it also counts as part of a martial artist's strength. Nie Yun's ability to contend with Zhao Letian using his Bloodline Power was also his skill.
"My father is a member of the Dajin Royal Family. Logically speaking, the Bloodline Power inherited from our ancestors should not be inferior to Nie Yun's. Is it because my inherited Bloodline Power is too weak, has not yet awakened, or perhaps, my luck is simply too bad, failing to inherit any of the ancestors' Bloodline Power?" Zhao Letian felt somewhat perplexed.

The so-called Bloodline Power refers to the phenomenon where, after a martial artist's cultivation reaches a certain height, their bloodline will undergo a transformation, thus acquiring a certain unique powerful capability that can be passed on to the descendants. The Bloodline Power inherited by Nie Yun possesses special abilities to enhance Physical Strength.
Generally speaking, the stronger the Martial Artist, the more powerful the Bloodline Power they bestow upon their descendants. If Zhao Letian's father were from the Dajin Royal Family, then his ancestor would be the founder of Dajin Country. As one can imagine, if he possesses the Bloodline Power, it must be extremely formidable.
However, Bloodline Power tends to become diluted during the inheritance process. The older the family, the weaker the inherited Ancestral Bloodline Power becomes in descendants, to the point that some offspring might not inherit any Bloodline Power at all. Of course, this is not absolute; in some cases, descendants might have Bloodline Power so concentrated that it surpasses even the first inheritor.
Moreover, some exceedingly potent Bloodline Powers require a special ceremonial awakening before they can be utilized; otherwise, they will remain dormant within the body, unable to be mobilized.
Zhao Letian himself is also unsure which scenario applies to him; he definitely needs to investigate further.
"Alright, since Physical Strength alone cannot overpower you, let us decide the outcome with weapons." Seeing that Zhao Letian refused to respond, Nie Yun felt frustrated and then, with a flash of Spirit Light in his hand, he drew a slender toy knife.
"I am at your service," Zhao Letian said indifferently, flipping his hand and producing a Spiritual Weapon Longsword.
"Sky Splitting Slash, kill!"
Nie Yun raised his toy knife, his figure blurred as he charged forward. The blade shared a potent Triple Blade Force, its edge so sharp it seemed capable of tearing through space itself.
"Nie Yun is indeed a genius of War King City; his Martial Arts Realm is even higher than his cultivation level. Impressive. That Zhao Letian is definitely going to lose this time."
People from War King City commented in admiration, proudly glancing at those from smaller places. Being born in a grand place like War King City gave them an inherent sense of superiority, looking down on those hillbillies from lesser areas.
However, people from Qingzhou City and those from Galaxy Sect looked oddly at those from War King City. Is Triple Blade Force that impressive? It might be something to boast about in front of ordinary Martial Artists, but Zhao Letian's swordplay seemed to have already reached the Fourth Level, and furthermore, he mastered Two Styles of Wind Qi. In front of Zhao Letian, Nie Yun had no pride to speak of.
"You have already lost."
Seeing Nie Yun's Blade Force, Zhao Letian finally relaxed; he had finally found one advantage over Nie Yun. Otherwise, if he truly couldn't handle a peer, he would begin to doubt whether there was something wrong with his previous training.
"Hmph, boasting, die!"
Clearly disbelieving, Nie Yun, after drawing his weapon, scoffed and swung his curved knife downward fiercely.
"Dragon Roar Nine Sword!"
Watching the gleaming blade descending swiftly, Zhao Letian, far from showing any fear, counterattacked with a backhand sword strike from below, abruptly lifting it upward. The roaring sound of the dragon bellowed furiously, a peerless sword glow, accompanied by a mass of invisible Sword Qi, directly slashed towards Nie Yun.
As a result, with one sword strike, Nie Yun's curved knife flew out of his hand, the man himself carrying an expression of unbelievable terror, was blasted away, falling off the platform.
