Chapter 1319: Chapter 1318: Battle with Chen Liang
Chen Liang from North Continent Academy looked at Zhou Danqing and said, "A duel to the death, no regard for life or injury, Danqing, you still have time to regret it. If you kneel before me and apologize, I will spare you. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret when your academy’s students are slain."
Zhou Danqing snorted coldly, "You better worry about your own students."
Chen Liang: "Everyone knows that your Southern Continent Academy is the weakest among the five academies, so don’t be stubborn. As long as you obediently kneel before me and beg for my forgiveness, I’ll spare this student of yours."
"You are not worthy."
Zhou Danqing spoke with disdain. She had confidence in Qin Hao, and the student from the opposing side was not even the top prodigy of North Continent Academy. It shouldn’t be difficult for Qin Hao to win.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Liang’s eyes, "Alright, let’s begin."
On the tournament stage, Qin Hao looked at the student from North Continent Academy, who was at the early Mahayana Realm, a level considered top-tier prodigy on the Southern Continent. But how strong was his combat ability?
Qin Hao held the War God Spear in his hand, intending for a swift battle. The people from North Continent Academy were arrogant, and today, he would let them know what true arrogance was.
"Kill"
The student from North Continent Academy struck first, his figure flickered, leaving trails of afterimages.
Qin Hao’s silhouette also moved. His entire body radiated brilliance, his aura reaching its peak, and he unleashed the Immortal-level Divine Power, Blood Battle Ten Techniques.
A streak of red light flashed across the sky, dazzling like a shooting star.
"Boom"
The two sides collided in a breathtaking display, enveloped in magnificent colors.
"Crash, crash, crash"
Over several seconds, they clashed several dozen times, then a figure was seen flying backwards, crashing heavily onto the stage.
As the light faded, everyone looked on, stupefied, with expressions of shock.
Chen Liang was also dumbfounded, as the one who tumbled to the ground was their very own North Continent Academy student. Had he been defeated in just a few seconds?? This young prodigy from the Southern Continent Academy was unexpectedly strong.
Lan Manshuang, Nangong Yuya, and others were also stunned. They knew Qin Hao was strong, and they knew he might win, but they didn’t expect him to win so quickly and decisively.
The spectators were deeply shocked. Was this man’s battle prowess really this strong??
That student from North Continent Academy was early Mahayana Realm in strength, and he was defeated in seconds? This person was unbelievably strong!
Zhou Danqing looked at the somewhat dazed Chen Liang and sneered, "Chen, is this the prodigy student of your North Continent Academy?? Couldn’t even last ten rounds."
Chen Liang’s face alternated between green and red, filled with utter shock. Such strength could probably rival even the freakish talents of North Continent Academy. How could Southern Continent Academy have such a monstrous person?
Onstage, Qin Hao looked at the student from North Continent Academy, speaking calmly, "Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I won’t kill you today. Get off."
Hearing this, the person was delighted and quickly scrambled off.
In Qin Hao’s eyes, this person was not worth fearing, whether killed or not made no difference. But Chen Liang had to be killed.
"Now it’s your turn. Didn’t you say you were great? Come up for a duel to the death," Qin Hao said disdainfully at Chen Liang.
Chen Liang squinted, his eyes flashing with a sharp gleam. Was he actually going to challenge me? I’ve been waiting for this. Killing him would mean there is no one left at Southern Continent Academy."
"Fine, today I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders."
Chen Liang was stronger than Zhou Danqing, having reached mid Void-breaking Realm. After all, he once ranked among the top five thousand, qualifying him to enter a secret realm.
The Hidden Dragon Continent’s thousand-year tianjiao martial contest sees participation from around a million competitors each time. These prodigies are rigorously screened, as millions would otherwise enter if not for the selection process.
The top ten thousand are determined among these millions, and the top five thousand are rewarded.
The top five thousand are eligible to enter various secret realms. Depending on their rank, they enter different realms, with the best being the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, accessible only to the top ten. Others enter subsidiary realms.
This tianjiao martial contest on the Hidden Dragon Continent aims to nurture top-level warriors for the continent. All top five thousand receive training, with better ranks receiving better training.
...
Chen Liang flew onto the stage. Qin Hao stared at him, while Chen Liang also gazed at Qin Hao with murderous intent.
The onlookers’ eyes were filled with excitement. Wow, the mentor from North Continent Academy truly stepped up. He was once a famed prodigy who underwent secret realm training. How strong must he be now? Which of these two will win?
"Didn’t expect to witness such a high-level battle here. It’s absolutely thrilling, a clash of the two great academies."
"And it’s a rare battle between mentor and student."
"This guy from Southern Continent Academy is really badass, even daring to challenge a mentor from North Continent Academy. Winning would certainly make him famous in Ancient God City, while losing would mean total annihilation."
Zhou Danqing and others felt their hearts tighten. Chen Liang was truly formidable and couldn’t be underestimated, being a mid Void-breaking Realm expert, almost at Supreme Realm.
"Kill!"
Chen Liang roared coldly, forming hand seals and charging forward.
Qin Hao appeared calm, advancing to meet him. Their hand seals and punches collided spectacularly, as invisible energy waves rippled forth, causing the entire stage to tremble.
If not for the strong formation support, the stage likely wouldn’t hold up.
"Crash, crash, crash"
"Boom, boom, boom"
Qin Hao and Chen Liang were locked in fierce combat, with neither side gaining an upper hand, fighting fiercely and evenly.
The spectators were awestruck by Qin Hao’s exhibited battle powers; he was incredibly strong. Southern Continent Academy actually had such a powerful prodigy.
None were more shocked than Chen Liang himself, already raging inside. How could this person be so strong? I’m an experienced prodigy and have undergone secret realm training, yet I can’t overpower him?
What kind of talent is this???
Moreover, Chen Liang noticed that Qin Hao seemed to grow stronger the longer they fought, gradually gaining an edge over him,
How could this be possible? I’m an experienced prodigy, beaten by few back then. I absolutely cannot lose to a junior.
He was going all out in battle, while Qin Hao wielded the War God Spear, deploying the Immortal-level Divine Power Blood Battle Ten Techniques.
As time passed, the fight on the stage intensified, their clashes captivating the crowd, leaving them in awe.
So strong, so badass!
"Crash"
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard, and one figure flew out.
The audience’s spirits were invigorated, hastily looking to see if the victor had been decided. Who lost?
Was it the mentor from North Continent Academy, or the student from Southern Continent Academy?
