Chapter 357

"Duan Xinyue versus Yun Haizhen."

As soon as the battle was announced, all the spectators in the Flowing Cloud Mountains were excited.

"A battle between the top students of the four great academies!"

"Yun Haizhen is ranked first on the Sky List, so Duan Xinyue is definitely not his opponent. However, Duan Xinyue should be able to force Yun Haizhen to use his true strength. I really want to know how strong Yun Haizhen is."

Most people predicted that Duan Xinyue would lose this battle.

But so far, Yun Haizhen had always defeated his opponents in one move. No one knew how strong he really was.

Maybe Duan Xinyue could let them know a little about this battle.

"Finally, I don't have to be so bored anymore."

Yun Haizhen suddenly stood up and flew onto the stage.

His hands were behind his back, his long hair and golden robe fluttered even though there was no wind. There was an invisible pressure between his eyebrows. He stood calmly on the stage, but everyone who was watching him held their breaths.

Whoosh!

Duan Xinyue also stepped onto the stage.

Yun Haizhen was the last opponent she wanted to face in the Academy Tournament, but she still met him.

She knew that she was not Yun Haizhen's opponent, but as the top student of the Heavenly Star Academy, she could not admit defeat.

Standing in front of Yun Haizhen and looking into his eyes, Duan Xinyue suddenly felt a scorching pressure descend on her. She felt indescribably uncomfortable. She knew that this was the pressure formed by the combination of Yun Haizhen's powerful mind power and pressure.

Around the stage, the other ten people also looked at the stage. Even Chen Yu, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

If Chen Yu wanted to win, he would have to face Yun Haizhen.

So far, no one had made Yun Haizhen reveal his true strength.

On the stage, Duan Xinyue and Yun Haizhen stared at each other. Neither of them made a move, but everyone could feel the tense atmosphere.

"Flawless!"

Duan Xinyue stared at Yun Haizhen, but she found that she could not find any flaws.

Facing off against Yun Haizhen for such a long time had taken a toll on her psyche. The immense psychic pressure he exerted on her made it hard for her to breathe.

Whoosh!

Finally, Duan Xinyue made the first move. Her right fist shone with a black light as she approached Yun Haizhen.

When Duan Xinyue came to Yun Haizhen's right, Yun Haizhen suddenly drew his sword.

Boom!

A scorching sword aura slashed at Duan Xinyue from the edge of the stage.

There was actually a charred mark left on the tough stage.

Yun Hai really wasn't like Ye Chengfeng, who could accumulate strength with each strike stronger than the last. However, Yun Hai's true attack was similarly incomparably powerful.

Whoosh!

Duan Xinyue moved her feet slightly and dodged the attack.

However, at this moment, Yun Hai really did unleash a second sword attack. It was as if he had already predicted Duan Xinyue's actions.

Unable to dodge, Duan Xinyue punched out with both fists, bursting with dark starlight.

Rumble!

The scorching red sword aura engulfed the black aura and continued to advance.

Whoosh!

Duan Xinyue hastily retreated to avoid the explosion.

Before Duan Xinyue could land on the ground, Yun Haizhen swung his sword again, forcing her into a corner.

Outside the stage, the other ten participants were dumbfounded.

From the beginning to the end, Yun Haizhen stood at his original position, not moving at all. However, Duan Xinyue was forced to use all her strength to dodge his attacks.

"I didn't expect Yunhai's strength to have already reached such a level."

Even Tang Mo, who was ranked second in the Yunyang Academy, was shocked.

"So strong. He's strong in all aspects, not to mention any weaknesses."

Chen Yu looked at Yun Haizhen who was on the stage. From the beginning to the end, Yun Haizhen didn't move a single step. However, he gave off the feeling that he was in control of the entire battle. It was as if he was toying with Duan Xinyue in the palm of his hand.

Although Ye Chengfeng was strong, his weakness was very obvious. After each sword attack, there was a period of time for him to accumulate strength.

On the other hand, Yun Haizhen gave off a feeling that he was in control of the entire situation.

The higher ups of the four academies were also watching the battle on the stage.

"The outcome of this battle has been decided. I only hope that Xinyue will be able to gain something from this battle."

The vice principal of the Heavenly Star Academy said calmly.

On the stage, Duan Xinyue was sweating profusely.

She realized that from the beginning to the end, the initiative was in Yun Haizhen's hands.

Yun Haizhen stood at his original position, not moving an inch. However, Duan Xinyue couldn't get within ten feet of him. She had to face Yun Haizhen's powerful attacks.

She felt like she was a prey that had fallen into a trap. She kept struggling, but it was useless. She could only wait for the hunter to come and take her life.

"We have to disrupt his rhythm."

Duan Xinyue thought to herself.

"Star Shower!"

The True Essence within Duan Xinyue's body surged, and a black light sparkled around her, forming a dense layer of black light.

Swish swish —

All of the black orbs flashed and shot up into the sky. After drawing a black arc in the air, they fell toward Yun Haizhen.

Almost a hundred balls of black light attacked Yun Haizhen from all directions.

After unleashing this attack, Duan Xinyue still did not stop.

"Darkening Sky Star."

Buzz!

A layer of hazy dark starlight appeared around her body, forming a vast sphere of light that was thirty meters in diameter, exuding a terrifying and oppressive aura.

"Sun Flame Light Cut!"

Yun Haizhen's expression remained unchanged as he raised the golden sword in his hand and swung it repeatedly.

Xiu Xiu Xiu!

Rays of fierce and scorching sword light formed a ring and spread out.

Bang bang bang bang ~

All of the black orbs of light were destroyed by the sword light as they fell.

Furthermore, there were many sword rays that shot out to attack Duan Xinyue.

Boom! Bang!

Duan Xinyue's speed and strength were greatly increased in her explosive state. She either dodged or attacked, breaking Yun Haizhen's attack.

"Alright, I'm close!"

Duan Xinyue finally got within thirty meters of Yun Haizhen. She clenched her fists, and the True Essence ripple on her became stronger.

"Dark Star Punch!"

Duan Xinyue yelled and threw a punch.

Instantly, the black light around her body disappeared, and all of her power surged into the punch.

This punch was Duan Xinyue's most powerful attack.

A pitch-black ball of light crushed toward Yun Haizhen, causing the surroundings to distort.

"Is this your most powerful attack? Then it's over. "

Yun Haizhen's expression did not change much.

The space around him suddenly turned crimson red, and golden flames appeared.

The sword in his hand suddenly emitted a blinding golden light, and it emitted a suction force that sucked away the surrounding flames.

"Destructive Flaming Dragon Slash."

With a sweep of the sword, a dazzling golden flaming sword light shot out. The flames on the sword light rose, forming a faint shadow of a flaming dragon.

The power of this sword caused all the contestants in the finals to have grave expressions, and their hearts to tremble.

Even Ye Chengfeng was stunned, admiring Yun Haizhen's sword.

Pfff!

The flaming sword light shot out and collided with the black star. In a moment, the black star was split into two.

Whoosh —

The flaming sword light continued to shoot out, piercing toward Duan Xinyue.

Duan Xinyue's eyes widened. She immediately circulated her True Essence and waved her arms, forming a black light barrier.

Boom!

As the sword light approached, Duan Xinyue's arms trembled, and the light barrier in front of her shattered. She was sent flying off the stage by the aftershock of the sword light.

"Yun Haizhen wins!"

After the battle ended, Yun Haizhen still stood in the same spot, not moving a single step from the beginning.

"This …"

Many of the participants were stunned, and their expressions were stiff.

They were both Origin Realm prodigies, but Yun Haizhen defeated Duan Xinyue so easily. From the looks of it, he didn't even use his full strength, which made him unfathomable.

They were known as geniuses, but compared to Yun Haizhen, they were like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

"Lv Qiuling versus Zhou Yuning!"

The tournament continued.

It was now the seventh round, and the tournament was more than half completed.

Many were already guessing the results of the tournament.

"Yun Haizhen is undoubtedly number one, but Duan Xinyue and Yuan Chen haven't fought yet, so we don't know who's stronger and who's weaker. Ye Chengfeng is injured and no longer has his peak battle prowess.

"What about Chen Yu?"

Someone asked.

"If there are no accidents, Chen Yu might even defeat Duan Xinyue and Yuan Chen, and become number two."

"I don't think so. You guys don't know how strong Ye Chengfeng's sword is. Chen Yu took Ye Chengfeng's fourth sword strike head on and must be severely injured. He is probably not a match for Yuan Chen and Duan Xinyue."

… …

The eighth round …

"Yuan Chen versus Chen Yu."

"Finally, it is Chen Yu and Yuan Chen's turn. I heard that they are fellow disciples."

"I don't know if the senior brother is stronger or if the junior brother is better than the senior brother."

Yi Lantian, the Deputy Dean of Demon-Free Academy, was slightly surprised. He did not expect that he would be able to see two of his disciples fight in this tournament after Chen Yu participated.

"Senior brother, let's fight."

Chen Yu smiled.

Ever since he became Yi Lantian's disciple, Yuan Chen had been treating Chen Yu very well.

Although Chen Yu did not want to fight Yuan Chen, this was a tournament and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Junior Brother, don't look down on Senior Brother. If I show mercy, then Senior Brother won't hesitate to take away your ranking!"

Yuan Chen also smiled.

Back in the academy, when he and Chen Yu had a 75-move agreement, he had discovered that Chen Yu had been holding back and hiding his strength.

Now, the two of them stood on the arena and were about to fight. It seemed that they were going to continue what they had not finished the last time.

"Yes!"

Chen Yu nodded.

Boom!

Chen Yu suddenly activated his Mysterious Pattern Demonic Body and rushed out.

The Demonic Patterns on the Giant Ruler Sword in his hand moved and he swung it.

"Come on!"

Yuan Chen shouted in a low voice and slapped out a frosty palm shadow.

Boom!

After the attack, the two of them quickly approached each other. The palm light and the sword light clashed back and forth, and the sound of explosions was endless.

"Junior brother, do you want to win first place?"

Yuan Chen asked as they exchanged blows.

"That's right!"

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and replied.

Of course, he wanted to win first place, but Chen Yu did not have much confidence against Yun Haizhen.

Although the two of them spoke directly, the battle was too intense and it was difficult to see their figures clearly. Naturally, no one could hear their conversation.

"In that case, I will lend you a hand."

Yuan Chen took a deep breath and smiled.

Chen Yu was stunned.

"You've reached the bottleneck, right? Let me be your whetstone and help you break through."

Yuan Chen transmitted his voice.

"What?"

Chen Yu was taken aback by Yuan Chen's sudden words.

But in the next moment, his expression recovered and he revealed a determined expression.

"Alright."

Chen Yu nodded.

He understood his senior brother's personality and character. Yuan Chen had lost to Ye Chengfeng, so no matter how well he performed, he could only get second place.

But Chen Yu had not lost a battle yet. In other words, among the twelve in the finals, other than Chen Yu, no one else could challenge Yun Haizhen's position!

If Chen Yu could succeed, it would not only be an honor for Chen Yu, but it would also be an honor for the Demon-Free Academy. As Chen Yu's senior brother, Yuan Chen would also be happy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Yu gave up on using other methods and only attacked crazily with the Dense Pattern Demonic Body and the Demonic Pattern Qi.

On the arena, astonishing Demonic Qi and ice surged and intertwined.

Chen Yu's eyes flickered. He continuously waved the Giant Ruler Sword, and the more he fought, the more ferocious he became. His fighting spirit continued to rise.

His essence, qi, and spirit continued to rise, and the genuine Qi in his body flowed crazily. The potential in his body was squeezed out bit by bit.

The fierce battle between the two lasted for a long time, causing the nearby spectators to be stunned. They thought that there was some deep hatred between Chen Yu and Yuan Chen.

"Yuan Chen and Chen Yu are here? … I see. "

On the distant mountain peak, a trace of doubt flashed in Yi Lantian's eyes. Then, he revealed a gratified smile.
