Chapter 564 - 249: Martial Dao True Intent and First Place_3
...Inside the Emperor Tower.
Xu Guang stood firm, gazing at the woman in red opposite him, his eyes slightly filled with gravity.
Ning Zhi Qiu was a woman, yet standing there, she exuded an overwhelming aura as if she were an indestructible sharp sword. A terrifying will capable of burning everything spread slowly in the air.
"You may begin."
Ning Zhi Qiu’s cold voice echoed in the air.
As the voice fell, the aura around her slowly subsided, as if she had completely fallen into silence.
Xu Guang frowned, a grave expression in his eyes.
Was she...
Xu Guang suddenly felt that Ning Zhi Qiu wasn’t just bragging when she said she was letting him have the move.
Such an easily controlled martial intent of the opponent’s was something that even the True King of Martial Dao at the Second Grade couldn’t achieve. Of course, the martial intent realized at the Second Grade was bound to be tricky and incomplete.
He need not be so concerned.
So, after a moment of silence.
Xu Guang took two elixirs from his chest, speaking somewhat skillfully.
"Senior Sister, Xu Mou has taken the explosive elixir from the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce—the Celestial Bull Golden Pill. My strength has increased fivefold, apologies."
After delivering the ad, Xu Guang’s aura began to fluctuate unpredictably.
In an instant, a torrential blood rain poured down, Heavenly Thunder trembled, and blood and fire filled the air, casting a doomsday shadow over the entire world.
Ning Zhi Qiu stood in place, her martial intent erupting violently, sweeping across with a power that could burn the heavens and earth. Though not a reality, it carried a mysterious and unfathomable force, as if it could truly affect the world around them.
"Use your Blood Sun Divine Technique."
She sent a voice transmission to Xu Guang.
Xu Guang paid no heed, instead using the blood rain to evolve into the Inconceivable Tribulation Heart Sutra, transforming into countless Sword Qi, striking towards Ning Zhi Qiu.
However, these invisible mental blood rain sword lights seemed to melt away like flames when approaching Ning Zhi Qiu, disappearing without a trace.
A burning stabbing pain came from Xu Guang’s Divine Soul, as if it were being scorched.
He silently looked at Ning Zhi Qiu, vaguely guessing her intention.
Was it for the Return to the Hidden Divine Technique?
Xu Guang was somewhat surprised, but didn’t deliberately hide it, instead summoning Return to the Hidden directly. Above the crystalline eye on his head, a blood sun blazed, the scorching sun like fire.
Inside, the life-and-death grinding disk of black and white slowly revolved, brewing a devilish power that seemed capable of burying everything.
Ning Zhi Qiu’s eyes brightened; Xu Guang’s guess was correct. Her martial intent was incomplete, merely summarized from her Five Divine Techniques combined with extraordinary changes in her Divine Soul.
She was unsatisfied with such a level of martial intent. She could have broken through to the First Grade long ago, but her martial true intent was lacking, and she’d been searching for ways to complete it.
Finally, on that day when Xu Guang battled Hong Zhen and the others, she seemed to see an opportunity.
Xu Guang’s Blood Sun Divine Technique appeared to obliterate everything.
In the midst of Xu Guang’s surprised gaze, Ning Zhi Qiu’s martial true intent crazily surged into the Return to the Hidden Blood Sun.
Ning Zhi Qiu’s face turned pale, yet her eyes remained bright.
Rumble!
A massive blue-white fish seemed to swim out of the void, breaking through layers of blood rain, as if splitting the heavens and earth.
This was Ning Zhi Qiu’s Divine Technique—Unfettered, yet mixed with a martial technique.
Xu Guang’s body circulated with five-colored radiance, sweeping away the residual waves around him.
Ning Zhi Qiu’s somewhat cold voice echoed in the void.
"I concede."
Xu Guang looked stunned.
The outside world was even more astonished.
They could hardly believe that Xu Guang could actually defeat Ning Zhi Qiu.
This battle seemed so strange, as if Xu Guang had used a Divine Technique to counter Ning Zhi Qiu’s martial true intent, yet Xu Guang knew well that she had intentionally infused her martial true intent into the Return to the Hidden Blood Sun.
He couldn’t figure out what exactly she was thinking.
But seemingly...
It had little impact on him.
Rather, due to Ning Zhi Qiu fusing her martial true intent into the Return to the Hidden, he seemed to have gained a slight understanding of her martial true intent.
This woman...
Truly interesting.
Xu Guang thought to himself.
...
As the battle settled down, the image on the demon-revealing mirror’s phantom slowly faded away.
This battle, though many people didn’t understand why the two would make a final confrontation with the scores already set, Xu Guang’s ability to defeat Ning Zhi Qiu was an undeniable fact.
Jin Buhuan suddenly stood up, shouting, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Xu!"
Afterwards, the entire Central Plaza began to resonate with various cheers congratulating Xu Guang for his victory.
Xu Guang walked out of the Emperor Tower, startled by the enthusiastic scene before him.
But seeing Jin Buhuan nod at him, he understood.
He smiled at him, expressing his gratitude.
When he reached the crowd, Jiang Zi Yun approached him, whispering, "The Wen family, Gu family, and the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce all appreciate your mentioning of their names in the tournament during this period. The three families promised a total of sixty thousand virtual crystals for you, and additionally, the Gu family sent word saying they obtained a piece of meteorite iron recently, which they will deliver to you soon."
Sixty thousand virtual crystals?
Is this a sponsorship fee?
Xu Guang laughed, surprised before regaining his composure. He had secured first place in the Northern Emperor Academy’s grand competition, achieving it with a Third Grade realm, whereas previous champions for nearly ten competitions were of the Second Grade realm.
