Chapter 229 - 229 228 The Obvious Gap

229: Chapter 228: The Obvious Gap 229: Chapter 228: The Obvious Gap The arrogant young man went onstage and immediately ignited the cheers of a crowd, even martial artists from the other two arenas looked over.

After all, a Second Grade Rune Master was a top-tier presence here.

“Alas, coming up against a Second Grade Rune Master, that kid is really unlucky!”

“That’s our Brother He, He Yingcai!

Not only is his Soul Power outstanding, his cultivation has also reached the Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven.”

“Facing a youngster from the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven is simply a piece of cake!”

By this time, Lin Xuan had already removed the Silver Robe of the Second Grade Rune Master, so these people didn’t know Lin Xuan’s true strength.

Weiwei also had a trace of worry in her eyes, the opponent’s cultivation was no weaker than Lin Xuan’s.

He Yingcai, an outstanding young man from Ying Country’s Mingwen Palace, possessed top-tier Soul Power and cultivation.

Lin Xuan’s first opponent turned out to be so formidable!

The engravers from Xia Country looked quite grim.

Elder Gu and Elder Song also furrowed their brows.

Although Lin Xuan was strong, his opponent was even stronger, and compared to him, Lin Xuan seemed to be at a disadvantage.

“Elder Song, I’m afraid you are going to lose this match,” a loud laugh came from nearby.

People turned their heads, their faces looking extremely gloomy.

Not far from them, the engravers from Ying Country were there, one of the elders wearing a smug expression.

He was He Yingcai’s master.

“Elder He, the match hasn’t started yet, isn’t it too early to talk about winning or losing?” Elder Song said sternly.

“Too early?

Not at all!

This glaring gap, even a blind man could see!” Elder He laughed heartily.

This Elder He’s Mingwen Palace was actually a branch of the Engraving Alliance.

But since he and Elder Song were from different countries, they naturally had a competitive relationship, and being able to defeat an old rival made him feel naturally good.

“Is that so?” Elder Song said in a deep voice, “Lin Xuan is also a Second Grade Rune Master, it is not yet certain who will win or lose!”

Elder He was slightly surprised, the people from Ying Country’s Mingwen Palace were all astounded.

“Impossible, he is clearly just a youth, how can he be a Second Grade Rune Master?” The people from Mingwen Palace clearly didn’t believe it.

“Elder Song, if you’ve lost, you’ve lost, why make such a joke!” Elder He sneered.

The people from Xia Country felt stifled; these folks from Ying Country were too arrogant, their tails were practically up in the air!

“I believe Lin Xuan will definitely win!” Huang Shanshan whispered.

People turned their attention to arena number one, a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.

On arena number one, Lin Xuan and He Yingcai were already exchanging blows, both moving rapidly around the arena.

Trails of after-images flashed on the black arena, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder and the surging of powerful Spiritual Power.

“So fast!”

Many martial artists couldn’t keep up with their eyes and could only use their Soul Power to track.

They feared He Yingcai deep down, but Lin Xuan’s performance was beyond their expectations.

His speed, didn’t lose out to He Yingcai at all.

He Yingcai’s face was cold and ruthless as he made his move.

Being the top person from Mingwen Palace, he naturally didn’t take Lin Xuan seriously.

His Soul Power spread out, clearly capturing Lin Xuan’s movement trajectory.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, He Yingcai moved like lightning towards the back left, swinging his hand out.

Surging Spiritual Power roared, the air whistled, the palm strike was like a tsunami, overwhelmingly powerful.

Within ten meters behind him, all was enveloped by his palm wind.

Whoosh!

A figure appeared, it was Lin Xuan.

“There he is!

Ha, he finally showed up!”

“Brother He is mighty, solve him with one move!” The disciples of Mingwen Palace shouted loudly.

In their eyes, the emerging Lin Xuan was just a human target, absolutely unable to escape from He Yingcai’s palm.

“Hehe, Elder Song, you’ve lost!” Elder He laughed arrogantly.

Elder Song and others had somber expressions, and the engravers from Xia Country were utterly silent.

“Not good!” Near arena number one, Weiwei’s face also changed drastically.

“Defeat me!”

Elder He Yuncai, with a cold smirk on his face, struck out with his palm like a tsunami, his violent Spiritual Power targeting Lin Xuan.

Boom—

A heaven-shaking tremor spread in all directions from Arena One.

At this moment, all the Martial Artists in the valley turned their gaze towards Arena One, their expressions filled with shock.

Elder Song and others felt their hearts sink to the lowest point.

Having directly been hit by such a strike, they didn’t believe that Lin Xuan could withstand it.

“Get the Elixir Pills ready to rescue him, Lin Xuan has unlimited potential, we must not let him sustain a dark injury!” Elder Song began to give orders.

Crack!

In the midst of the huge storm of Spiritual Power, the Power of Thunder and Lightning suddenly flashed, clawing in the air.

Everyone watched apprehensively, waiting for the moment the outcome would appear.

The storm of Spiritual Power dissipated, and Arena One returned to clarity.

Two figures appeared in the center of the arena; Elder He Yuncai’s palm was firmly imprinted on Lin Xuan’s chest.

However, Lin Xuan was emitting flashes of Thunder and Lightning all over his body, numerous intricate Thunder Patterns emerged on his skin, filled with a wild power.

“Is this your attack?

Lin Xuan spoke indifferently.

Too weak!”

Elder He Yuncai’s pupils shrank rapidly, a wave of fear rising in his heart.

“Impossible!

How could he possibly block Elder Brother He’s attack!” A Martial Artist from Mingwen Palace loudly exclaimed, while others were in an uproar.

It was too shocking!

Too unexpected!

A Martial Artist of the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven had actually caught a blow from a Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Martial Artist and emerged unscathed!

“This…”

On the spectator stands, Elder He’s expression turned grave, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Not only he, but even Elder Song and Elder Gu were stunned, and the Engravers from Xia Country were dumbfounded.

They couldn’t believe this technique.

“Elder He, it seems things didn’t go as you predicted!” Elder Song taunted.

Elder He’s face turned dark, and he cursed inwardly nonstop.

He had actually misjudged the situation—something that hadn’t happened in many years!

“You, you are alright?”

On the arena, Elder He Yuncai’s voice trembled.

“Perhaps you should worry about yourself.” Lin Xuan’s gaze turned ice-cold as his right hand closed like a vise, firmly grasping Elder He Yuncai’s arm.

With a slight exertion of strength, Lin Xuan lifted Elder He Yuncai and then smashed him towards the ground.

“No!”

“You dare!”

The Martial Artists from Mingwen Palace cried out in alarm, very worried.

“Let go!”

Elder He Yuncai, enraged, his whole body surged with Spiritual Power, forming a terrifying storm of Spiritual Power.

However, in front of Lin Xuan’s Copper Thunder Pattern, all seemed futile.

“Soul Disturbance!”

At the last moment, Elder He Yuncai used his Soul Power.

His robust Soul Power wildly surged towards Lin Xuan, and if Lin Xuan’s soul were attacked, he could instantly counterattack.

Bang!

Lin Xuan remained calm and unafraid, his Soul Power surged forth and clashed with that of Elder He Yuncai.

The next moment, Lin Xuan successfully blocked Elder He Yuncai’s Soul Power, and Elder He Yuncai’s body heavily smashed onto the ground.

Boom!

The black ground was exceptionally hard and did not shatter, but the immense impact force caused the entire platform to shake incessantly, almost as if an earthquake had occurred.

Pfft!

The armor of Protective Spiritual Power on Elder He Yuncai shattered, his complexion turned extremely pale, and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth.
