Chapter 735: Seven hundred thirty-five Xu Huan’s second Meridian Spirit
This night, nothing happened!
It seems that although the Spirit Fighting Commerce has many desires for Yun Xiao, before the end of the Spirit Fighting Conference, for the sake of their own reputation, they would not blatantly cause any disturbances.
It is worth mentioning that, during this night, Yun Xiao has made a new discovery, which might shine brightly once again in today’s Spirit Fighting Conference.
North Gate of Yuyang City is still bustling, even more crowded than the previous days, because some people who have traveled from afar know that as time goes on, the Spirit Fighting Conference will only get more exciting, and the last few fights are the most spectacular to watch.
Moreover, through word of mouth among the public, even the cultivators who came later learned about Yun Xiao, a figure who can be considered the dark horse of this Spirit Fighting Conference.
Actually, if it weren’t for obtaining that Thunder Spirit Crystal, Yun Xiao wouldn’t have wanted to make such a big splash upon arriving at Tenglong Continent, and even he did not expect such an outcome.
As for the Spiritual Vein Realm group in the Spirit Fighting Conference, it hasn’t attracted as many followers, since, on Tengrong Continent, cultivators of Spiritual Vein Realm are considered the lowest level.
"Look, Yun Xiao is here!"
Following a heated shout, two figures already appeared within everyone’s sight, and Yun Xiao, just stepping out of the North Gate, instantly felt countless gazes cast upon him, as if trying to peer into the depths of his soul.
Especially those dozens of gazes closest to the arena, those were potentially Yun Xiao’s competitors, the biggest obstacles on his path to championship at the Spirit Fighting Conference.
After several days of battles, these cultivators, who have also made it among the top fifty of the Spirit Fighting Conference, no longer underestimate Yun Xiao, even though he is still a young man in the early stages of Qi Seeking Realm.
To consider that Yun Xiao defeated Ruan Shiming and Xi Shaoling yesterday, both of whom had the strength to break into the top ten or even the top five of the Spirit Fighting Conference, yet they were all defeated by Yun Xiao’s Meridian Spirit.
Everyone knows that Yun Xiao’s Meridian Spirit should not be underestimated, especially that Golden Snake Worm which, with only two brief attacks, defeated its opponents, making it extremely difficult to guard against.
"Yun Xiao, your journey in this Spirit Fighting Conference ends here!"
Among them, a young figure with strong fighting spirit in his eyes, those eyes filled with fervor as they gazed at Yun Xiao, seemingly very confident about facing Yun Xiao later.
Yun Xiao, however, did not pay attention to these competitors and strode into the arena, then Xu Huang, on the northern platform, spoke loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the fourth day of the Spirit Fighting Conference, and today we will determine the top ten of each group, who will compete in the final battle tomorrow!"
Xu Huang briefly explained the rules for today’s matches, then with a grand gesture, the first twenty-five participants with earlier entry numbers were called to the arena.
Worth mentioning is that, after days of elimination, Yun Xiao, with entry number 326, has also moved to the forefront of the final fifty, specifically in the Qi Seeking Realm group, though he narrowly missed being among the first twenty-five to go up.
"Number 326, please proceed to Qi Seeking Arena One!"
But the next moment, when Yun Xiao heard the loud call, his heart stirred, and soon he noticed a gaze filled with intense fighting spirit cast toward him.
"Xu Huan?!"
When Yun Xiao turned his head and saw that familiar young figure, he suddenly realized, because since the beginning of the Spirit Fighting Conference, this young heir of the commerce had been occupying Qi Seeking Arena One and remained unbeaten to this day.
Undeniably, Xu Huan truly has his unique strengths; his tiger-headed serpent’s prowess is extraordinary, shredding many Meridian Spirits of cultivators in the late stage of Qi Seeking Realm into pieces, causing their masters to suffer internal injuries.
If it weren’t for Yun Xiao, this unexpected dark horse of this edition, Xu Huan would undoubtedly be the most dazzling contestant of the Spirit Fighting Conference, but since his reputation precedes him, achieving such results is not surprising, and people’s focus is more on the super dark horse Yun Xiao.
However now, an old Yuyang City commerce genius and a powerfully rising unique young man have met on the Qi Seeking Arena One today.
After a brief silence, everyone began to boil with excitement, as they vaguely guessed that this seems to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, and everyone is extremely eager to see the outcome.
However, although Xu Huan only has the cultivation of the late Qi Seeking Realm, which is slightly inferior to Ruan Shiming and Xi Shaoqing who were defeated by Yun Xiao yesterday, for some unknown reason, they have more confidence in this young master of the commerce.
After all, Yun Xiao is still inexperienced, while Xu Huan has long been renowned. Moreover, many people know that the Tiger-Headed Serpent is just one of Xu Huan’s weaker Meridian Spirits; his truly formidable Meridian Spirit has yet to be revealed.
Even in previous battles, Xu Huan has defeated cultivators at the peak of Qi Seeking Realm. It’s undeniable that this young master of the Spirit Fighting Commerce indeed has reasons to be proud of himself.
"Is this guy the one? Perfect, I’ll use him for practice!"
Yun Xiao didn’t have as many thoughts as the onlookers. Seeing that his opponent in this round was Xu Huan, a cold smile also emerged in his eyes. The things he discovered last night might be deployed today.
He had considered that the Douling Commerce might pull some tricks again, but he hadn’t expected that this time it would be Xu Huan, the young master of the commerce himself. This shows great confidence in his own ability.
Logically, after Yun Xiao’s performance yesterday, even cultivators who had made it into the last fifty of the peak of Qi Seeking Realm would feel some palpitations at facing Yun Xiao.
Yet Xu Huan chose to face the challenge head-on. Yun Xiao didn’t think it was a coincidence to face Xu Huan; it surely must be Spirit Fighting Commerce meddling behind the scenes. Well then, let them taste the bitter fruits they have brewed.
Nonetheless, Xu Huan’s courage deserves praise. Perhaps in his heart, if he even lost the courage to face Yun Xiao directly, it would haunt his cultivation for life.
"Yun Xiao, I have to say, you are indeed fortunate to have made it this far!"
Watching the young man in rough clothes slowly walking onto the arena, Xu Huan uttered words identical to Xi Shaoqing’s from the day before, attributing everything to luck to boost his morale.
People like Xu Huan, born high above others, have never suffered significant losses, at least not in Yuyang City. Many know him as the great young master of the Spirit Fighting Commerce; even stronger cultivators tend to give him some respect.
But this boy, who seems to have come from some rural place, managed to embarrass Xu Huan on the Meridian Spirit trading street, securing something Xu Huan was determined to obtain. It was an unprecedented frustration and suffocation for Xu Huan.
Because of the Spirit Fighting Conference, Xu Huan, having been reprimanded by his father, could not act against Yun Xiao in secret during the event. But now, he has found an excellent opportunity.
Since he couldn’t strike in secret, he decided to openly defeat Yun Xiao on the Spirit Fighting Arena. Aren’t you exceptionally dazzling? After I defeat you, the most dazzling genius will surely become me!
This was what Xu Huan thought, seemingly having forgotten the prowess Yun Xiao showed in the Spirit Fighting battles in recent days. He only knew he was the number one talent of Yuyang City, and he had yet to utilize his real trump cards.
"Ah? So people from your Spirit Fighting Commerce all value luck this much?"
Upon hearing this, a strange color flashed across Yun Xiao’s face. Then he stretched his hand towards a certain spot under the arena and said, "The guy yesterday said the same thing. Too bad his outcome wasn’t very good!"
Where Yun Xiao pointed was naturally where Xi Shaoqing was situated. This powerhouse of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, despite internal injuries from yesterday, hadn’t taken time to recuperate but appeared again outside the North Gate of Yuyang City.
Perhaps in his heart, healing was less important than today’s event. Xi Shaoqing wanted to see Yun Xiao, who beat him, panic and be defeated, or even killed by Xu Huan today - that would soothe his grudge.
As someone from the same Spirit Fighting Commerce, Xi Shaoqing was deeply aware of Xu Huan’s strength. He knew that even if it were his Meridian Spirit against Xu Huan’s, he probably couldn’t last many exchanges because that young master’s particular Meridian Spirit was terrifyingly powerful.
"Sharp-tongued kid, I’m not afraid to tell you, your end today won’t be any different from his yesterday!"
Xu Huan really found the young man in front of him extremely unpleasant to look at. Without any further nonsense, upon finishing his words, his right hand suddenly extended, and a flicker of firelight suddenly appeared, followed by a surge of intense heat quietly spreading on the Qi SeekingNo.1 Arena.
"Ah? It’s not the Tiger-Headed Serpent!"
Including Yun Xiao, everyone at that moment made a new discovery. The Meridian Spirit, Tiger-Headed Serpent, which Xu Huan had been unbeatable within recent days, was not summoned this time, but instead, a completely new Meridian Spirit was brought out.
From that surge of heat, many could guess that the Meridian Spirit Xu Huan summoned this time was a Fire Attribute Meridian Spirit, but exactly which Vein Demon it was remained unrecognized by most.
A cultivator who reached the Qi Seeking Realm can harness the power to refine a second Meridian Spirit, but in this Spirit Fighting Conference, they could only use one of them in combat. Thus, the spectators had never seen this second Meridian Spirit of Xu Huan.
Perhaps only some cultivators from the Spirit Fighting Commerce, and the chairman of the Yuyang City Spirit Fighting Branch sitting in the northern seats, knew how much Xu Huan valued Yun Xiao at this moment by summoning this Fire Attribute Meridian Spirit.
