Chapter 354

The process and result of this battle was out of everyone's expectations. The twelve genius students were all shocked.

Even Ye Chengfeng, who said that Chen Yu had met his nemesis, frowned slightly.

"No … … how could I lose to you?"

Yin Chengzhuang crawled up with a bruised face. He roared loudly and seemed to be a little crazy.

Before the battle started, he was confident that he would win. He didn't even want to end the battle so easily.

It was because Yin Chengzhuang was too confident that when he used his ocular technique, he thought that Chen Yu wouldn't be able to stand up again.

Therefore, he completely let down his guard and even thought that he had won. He was enjoying the moment of pleasure.

But at this moment.

Chen Yu's sudden explosion shattered his fantasy and punched him hard in the face.

"As a body cultivator, Chen Yu's spiritual energy is so strong that he can even block Yin Chengzhuang's ocular technique."

"This is the first time I've seen a body cultivator with such strong spiritual energy. What a genius."

Everyone was full of praise for Chen Yu.

At this moment, the four Origin Realm geniuses among the twelve places started to take Chen Yu seriously.

Although they still felt that Chen Yu wouldn't be able to shake their position, but Chen Yu already had the ability to compete with them. As it was his first time participating in the Academy Tournament, it was already very unbelievable.

"Haha, our No-Demon Academy actually has such a genius."

"That's right. With this kid's current ability, the first place in the next tournament will definitely belong to our No-Demon Academy."

The higher-ups of the No-Demon Academy were overjoyed.

It had been a long time since the No-Demon Academy had obtained the first place in the Academy Tournament. Now, Chen Yu had given them hope.

They believed that with Chen Yu's ability and talent, the first place in the next Academy Tournament would be easily obtained.

"But Chen Yu's performance is too dazzling."

Yi Lantian murmured.

Beside him, a branch dean's joyful face immediately darkened when he heard this.

That's right, Chen Yu's performance was too dazzling.

This year's Academy Tournament was completely open to the public.

In other words, the Sect of Yunzhao Nation must have been observing everything from the shadows.

With Chen Yu's monstrous talent, he was probably the number one assassination target!

"Lv Qiuling against Luo Haotian!"

The contest continued.

Luo Haotian and Lv Qiuling were both ranked second in their respective academies.

Lv Qiuling relied on the green goshawk's flying ability to deal with Luo Haotian.

But at a certain moment, Luo Haotian expended a large amount of True Qi and soared into the sky, unleashing a fierce killing move on Lv Qiuling.

With the Incandescent Bloodline and the Incandescent True Fire, Luo Haotian's explosive power was extremely shocking. In the end, Lv Qiuling was defeated.

The fifth match finally welcomed a battle between two Origin Realm experts.

"Yuan Chen versus Ye Chengfeng!"

"It has finally begun. An Origin Realm battle."

"No Demon Academy and Heavenly Sword Academy's number one battle, who won and who lost?"

The enthusiasm of the onlookers was instantly ignited.

This was the first Origin Realm battle since the start of the College Tournament. Almost everyone was watching.

The leaders of the four academies also looked over.

The battle between the top students of the two academies would determine the final ranking.

"Yuan Chen, let's fight."

Ye Chengfeng simply said. His figure swept out and appeared on the martial arts stage. He held a crystal white artifact sword in his hand, emitting an enormous sword intent that shook the heavens.

Back in the Hidden Domain of the Refinement, he hadn't broken through to the Origin Realm and couldn't do anything to Yuan Chen. He had to give away all the spoils of war from Yin Chengzhuang.

Although he had broken through and challenged Yuan Chen, Yuan Chen had always been hiding and didn't want to have a direct battle with him.

Fortunately, at this moment, he welcomed a battle with Yuan Chen.

"Alright!"

Yuan Chen took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the martial arts stage. His entire body emitted an astonishing chilling intent. The temperature of the air plummeted and a layer of grey icy mist appeared around his body.

In a split second, Ye Chengfeng's eyes narrowed. Without any warning, he struck with his sword.

Ding!

A crystal white sword light suddenly blossomed and slashed down.

That astonishing sword intent and powerful attack could be clearly felt by the cadets outside the martial arts stage. Many of them shuddered, feeling that they would be sliced in half if they were to face this sword.

Yuan Chen's expression didn't change. He raised both of his palms. On top of his palms, a grey icy glow circulated, forming a layer of grey icy aura.

Peng!

Yuan Chen clasped his hands together and blocked Ye Chengfeng's sword.

The two forces intertwined and destroyed each other.

Yuan Chen exerted strength in both of his palms and shifted to the side. That sword light landed and left a shallow sword mark on the martial arts stage.

"Oh my god, the martial arts stage has been destroyed."

"This was created by a forging master of the Yunzhao Nation using the 'Black Ridge Ore' and then reinforced by a formation master. A normal Origin Realm martial artist wouldn't even be able to leave a mark on this martial arts stage."

Many exclamations sounded.

After blocking Ye Chengfeng's sword, Yuan Chen immediately attacked.

Whoosh!

His figure floated out and closed in on Ye Chengfeng.

Along the way, he constantly attacked, striking out rays of icy light palms to disrupt Ye Chengfeng.

Every strike of Ye Chengfeng's had to be charged up. Hence, every strike was shocking and destructive.

Whoosh!

Ye Chengfeng moved as well. His entire body was like a sword, moving at an incomparably fast speed as he pressed forward.

"The second sword is coming."

Yuan Chen had already sensed it. He circulated his qi and struck out a palm.

"Breaking Ice Palm!"

A giant palm of icy light whizzed out. Around the palm of light, countless ice crystals swam.

At the same time, Ye Chengfeng's sword descended on the other side.

And this sword seemed to be even stronger than the first sword!

Boom!

The two forces collided. Yuan Chen's attack was shattered by that sword light.

Facing the remaining sword dao power, Yuan Chen immediately used his defensive method to block it.

"The third sword will be even stronger. I have to disrupt the situation and disrupt his rhythm."

Yuan Chen held his breath and concentrated.

In every battle, Ye Chengfeng would treat his opponent as a grindstone. His sword aura and sword intent would get stronger.

Of course, his consumption would also increase. It was hard for him to be like other sword dao cultivators who could swing their swords continuously.

Ding!

The third sword light appeared in a flash. It was dazzling and dazzling as it slashed down.

"Cold Ice Barrier!"

Yuan Chen's palms released a layer of cold flowing light. He waved it up and formed a thick layer of ice barrier.

Crack!

The sword landed and cracks appeared on the ice barrier. In less than a breath's time, the ice barrier exploded. Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Yuan Chen retreated, leaving a sword mark on his body.

"You will lose the fourth sword."

Ye Chengfeng looked at Yuan Chen and said in a serious and calm manner.

"Is that so?"

The qi in Yuan Chen's body suddenly surged out.

The temperature of the entire stage dropped once again.

"Freezing Freeze!"

Yuan Chen bellowed. The qi in his body fluctuated, stirring up the ice mist on the stage.

Booooom!

The entire stage was filled with coldness. Ice crystals danced in the air and condensed continuously.

The twelve people outside the stage all felt a bone-piercing chill.

In a short while, the space above the stage seemed to have become an independent domain. Everything within was covered in ice and even the air was frozen.

Ye Chengfeng's location was where the ice gathered. He seemed to be frozen in ice and could not move at all.

"What shocking strength!"

Many people exclaimed.

"Did Yuan Chen win?"

Everyone's eyes were glued to the stage.

"So that's how it is. You have been constantly releasing ice attacks at the start, causing the entire stage to be covered in ice mist. It was all for this move."

Ye Chengfeng, who was in the ice, said with difficulty.

Ice dao cultivators had the advantage in a land of ice and snow.

From the start, Yuan Chen had been modifying the surrounding environment to his advantage.

When he finally activated "Freezing Freeze", the power would be far beyond the usual.

"Yes!"

Yuan Chen shuttled through the domain of ice and approached Ye Chengfeng.

"But, you have underestimated me!"

Ye Chengfeng said coldly. The qi in his body surged out crazily, forming small crystal white swords that pierced in all directions.

This was a secret skill that Ye Chengfeng cultivated. It could transform qi into thin qi swords that could be used for close combat.

This secret skill could only be executed after reaching the Origin Realm. Hence, no one knew about it.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the ice layer before it shattered.

At the same time, Yuan Chen's accumulated sword descended again.

"Not good!"

Yuan Chen's expression changed slightly. He waved both his arms and a cold light surged from his palms.

Boundless ice energy gathered towards Yuan Chen from all directions, forming a thick and tall ice wall in front of him.

Boom!

The crystal white sword light slashed down and the ice exploded, drowning everything.

"How's the situation?"

Everyone's eyes were glued to the stage, trying to see the situation inside.

When the ice and snow dissipated, everyone saw the two on the stage again.

In front of Yuan Chen, the ice wall was broken, but he wasn't injured.

On the other side, Ye Chengfeng looked weak, but the sword intent on his body didn't weaken and was still rising.

"You are not bad. I need to use the fifth sword to finish you off!"

Ye Chengfeng stared at Yuan Chen, his heart bursting with battle intent.

"I admit defeat!"

Yuan Chen suddenly spoke and walked off the stage.

Ye Chengfeng, who was preparing to attack, was stunned on the spot. His body couldn't help but sway.

He was already prepared to use the fifth sword, but his opponent suddenly admitted defeat, making it hard for him to execute the fifth sword, affecting his body.

"Yuan Chen, you …"

Ye Chengfeng's eyes were cold.

"I can't block your fifth sword, so I admit defeat. Can't I do that?"

Yuan Chen said plainly and had already left the stage.

"Ye Chengfeng wins!"

The judge announced the result.

The upper echelons of Sky Sword Academy instantly smiled and looked at Yunyang College from time to time.

"Vice Principal Yi, how is my disciple?"

That white browed elder asked with a smile.

Yi Lantian's expression didn't change and didn't answer.

"Ye Chengfeng, each sword is stronger than the previous one …"

Chen Yu murmured.

It was hard to imagine what would happen if Ye Chengfeng executed the last sword …

The sixth match, Tang Mo against Duan Xinyue.

This time, Tang Mo displayed his full strength and exchanged over sixty moves with Duan Xinyue before being defeated.

Although he was defeated, his strength had already been recognized by everyone. He was recognized as the strongest among the four Origin Realm experts and was ranked fifth in this year's tournament.

Immediately after, the third round began.

The first match ended with one side admitting defeat.

The second match was Chen Yu's turn.

"Second match, Chen Yu against Ye Chengfeng!"
