That invisible Battle Qi surged relentlessly outside his body, rumbling like ocean waves beating against the shore.
The skies started to darken. Layers of clouds blocked the sun and cast a gloomy shadow over the ring.
An overwhelming pressure exploded in all directions, shocking everyone.
“Could this be the cultivation of the Advanced Stage of the Great Fulfilment?” The referee also had a frightened expression on his face. Being a referee for so many years, he had seen all kinds of young outstanding talents from different countries, but he had never seen such a mighty aura before.
Ling Chuxi was also secretly shocked. Xiao Tianying’s true cultivation ability should not have reached the Intermediate Stage of the Great Fulfilment yet, but he could already condense such strong Battle Qi. Looks like his cultivation ability was not only stronger than Xiao Tianfan’s, but his mastery of the Turning Cloud Gesture far surpassed Xiao Tianfan’s as well.
The Battle Qi outside Xiao Tianying’s body was like a tornado howling its rage, but he never stopped accumulating his Battle Qi.
The air outside Xiao Tianying’s body was distorted by his strong Battle Qi. His solitary and aloof figure surrounded by Battle Qi cast a mysterious image. Rows of fine cracks actually appeared on the hard stone surface under his feet from the rush of his Battle Qi. The tiny crushed stones were caught in the tornade and turned into powder under the compression and friction of his Battle Qi, creating a sand storm.
“Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage!” On the highest part of the watching platform, a few old men with aged faces and white beards stood up suddenly in shock, staring at Xiao Tianying in disbelief.
“I never would have thought that the Xiao Family could produce such an amazing talent. I don’t think even Old Master Xiao would be able to use the Turning Cloud Gesture to this extent, right?” One of them mused, deep in thought. After a while, the old men sat back down.
Only an old man with a dignified expression who was seated near the back stared quietly at the fighting ring below, his expression growing serious.
In the fighting ring, Ling Chuxi’s expression became unexpectedly solemn. It seemed like Xiao Tianying intended to use one move to determine victory or defeat. Turns out that her realization of the Turning Cloud Gesture was still not deep enough. Xiao Tianying’s cultivation ability had not even exceeded the Intermediate stage of the Great Fulfilment, but he was actually able to accumulate such terrifying Battle Qi.
Ling Chuxi dared not underestimate him anymore, and unsheathed the Luo Chen Sword slowly.
The sword gleamed and sparkled like a river, emitting a low hum. Qi accumulated at the sword tip and condensed to a single point, in the method of utilizing Battle Qi she had gotten from Baili Han.
But Ling Chuxi was not done yet. The Battle Qi which had been condensed to a point glittered, then broke away from the body of the sword and spiraled up. Before the spiral of Qi could disappear, there was another gleam on the sword which flowed like a stream and condensed to a point. It also broke away from the sword and spiraled quickly. And then, another one appeared, over and over again. Battle Qi condensed one after the other, forming numerous spirals of Qi outside the sword and releasing an overwhelming pressure.
“Isn’t this Duan Qingchou’s martial art skill?” Xiao Tianying was shocked. Perhaps other people could not figure out the secret of this Battle Qi, but it would definitely not escape his eyes. Every expert at the realm of Great Fulfilment had their own realizations – it was the precious results of the accumulation of experience from many years of cultivation. Although other people could understand the mystery within, because of the different skills of cultivating, their opportunities would be different and it would be difficult for them to comprehend.
Ling Chuxi had only fought with Duan Qingchou once and she had actually secretly learnt his spiraling Battle Qi. This was such a terrifying innate talent, such a terrifying ability to realize, and it shocked Xiao Tianying to the core.
As he thought of his reputation as a genius that he had been so proud of since young, Xiao Tianying suddenly felt bitter and even a little ashamed.
