Chapter 323: Chapter 320: Winning Streak Continues

"This guy, impossible..."

If anyone was the most panicked amongst them all, it was undoubtedly Yu Yi. She had made a bet with Ye Xuan, and if she lost, the consequences were unimaginable.

Feeling a sense of incredulity, Yu Yi’s pretty face also flushed with a hint of red. If that bastard really won, what would she do?

"Thinking you can beat me is not that simple!"

On the Battle Platform, Linglong’s eyes shone like lightning. Having taken a sword strike from Ye Xuan didn’t make her panic; instead, it ignited her fury and caused her entire aura to erupt like a Volcano.

At that moment, Linglong was clearly several times more formidable than before, with her energy, spirit, and vital essence fully unleashed.

"Heavenly Fox Annihilation Light!"

As Linglong shouted, mighty demonic power surged from her body into the sky, forming a giant six-tailed fox phantom. The phantom fox looked up and howled. In the next moment, it abruptly extended its sharp claws, shooting a colorful beam of light from its fingertips, piercing straight towards Ye Xuan.

The crowd watching below all turned ashen, clearly not expecting Linglong, when unleashing her true power, to be so strong. She was like a different person from before, and even those farther away couldn’t help but feel an urge to kneel down.

This was the oppression from the bloodline.

Even the observing Demon Dragon Young Master’s expression changed. With such strength, even he had to take Linglong seriously.

Actually, Linglong had intended to save this move for the Demon Dragon Young Master, not wishing to reveal it earlier. But she hadn’t expected to be forced by Ye Xuan to use it now. If she didn’t use it, she was likely to lose this contest.

With a focused gaze, Ye Xuan’s figure suddenly became blurry, turning into numerous overlapping shadows that scattered in all directions like startled moths, fleeting and unpredictable. However, the afterimages he left behind disintegrated the moment they came into contact with the beam of light, which seemed to lock onto Ye Xuan, finding his position no matter how he dodged and shooting towards him, quickly closing in.

"It’s useless; you can’t hide."

Linglong watched Ye Xuan, her Heavenly Fox Annihilation Light able to lock onto the life force of her enemy, so no matter how much Ye Xuan tried to dodge, he couldn’t avoid the beam.

Pupupu!

Shadows shattered one after another, and it seemed that Ye Xuan was about to be hit by the beam.

The onlookers’ eyes became solemn and focused, their full attention on the battle between the two. It had taken many twists and turns. Initially, it seemed likely Linglong would win, but then Ye Xuan struck her with amazing speed. Just when they thought Ye Xuan would win, Linglong unleashed her trump card move, regaining control of the advantage.

The Heavenly Fox Annihilation Light was a terrifying and powerful bloodline secret technique. With Linglong’s extraordinary strength, the power of such a move was indescribable.

Worry tinged Yu Yi’s beautiful eyes. Although she had set up a bet with Ye Xuan, she didn’t want to see him lose too badly. Given the current situation, if Ye Xuan were hit by this beam, he would likely be severely injured instantly.

"If I can’t dodge it, then I’ll just have to break through it!"

Ye Xuan’s initial move to dodge was not out of fear, but rather he didn’t want to waste energy on a head-on clash.

His two great Sword Dao Realms were pushed to the extreme. A glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes as he unleashed his full-strength Thunder Devour move. At the tip of his sword, a lightning orb collided with the light beam that pierced through the void.

Boom!

The orb and the beam collided explosively, one large and one small. The light spread out suddenly, lifting even the floor of the Battle Platform. The resulting spider-web-like cracks extended densely in all directions.

The terrifying shockwave shattered the light screen sealing the Battle Platform and fell outside the field, affecting many of the watching powerhouses and causing a cacophony of ghost-like screams.

Ye Xuan’s figure was entirely swallowed by the light.

"He won."

Below the Battle Platform, Gong Ze slowly exhaled. With such a powerful move, Ye Xuan couldn’t possibly block it. Even if he didn’t die, he would be seriously injured.

"This Ye Xuan, even if he loses, it’s still an honorable defeat. His performance wasn’t bad." The Sky Fox Demon Venerable naturally knew the power of the Heavenly Fox Annihilation Light. He also thought that Ye Xuan had little chance of winning. However, in his view, losing to Linglong wasn’t shameful for Ye Xuan. After all, Linglong was his daughter, and she had huge advantages in terms of bloodline and resources. As for Ye Xuan, a newcomer to Sky Demon Mountain, achieving this much was already astonishing.

"Ye Xuan lost? I don’t think so."

The Huoyou Demon Venerable’s gaze sharpened, focusing on the situation on the Battle Platform and shaking his head.

Hearing this, the Sky Fox Demon Venerable was about to argue but suddenly stopped. In his line of sight, on the Battle Platform, as the light faded, Ye Xuan’s figure reemerged.

"How is that possible?"

On Battle Platform Mountain, Ye Xuan, though looking a bit disheveled, hadn’t sustained much damage according to Sky Fox Demon Venerable’s senses.

That is to say, Linglong’s previous move had been completely neutralized by him!

"How is this possible..."

Linglong, still hanging in mid-air, stared at Ye Xuan with her mouth agape. Her ace move was ineffective against this guy?

Whoosh!

While Linglong was still in shock, Ye Xuan had already soared into the air and thrust his sword towards her.

With her trump card broken, Linglong was thoroughly disoriented, but seeing Ye Xuan rush towards her, she hastily countered, attempting to block his sword momentum.

But at this moment, she had lost her initial powerful presence. With her trump move broken, she was shadowed by doubt, and even if her strength hadn’t taken much of a hit, she was already psychologically at a disadvantage in the fight.

"Sigh, Linglong is going to lose. This Ye Xuan is truly no simple character," Sky Fox Demon Venerable said, shaking his head and sighing. Although no winner had been declared on the surface, those at their level could already foresee the likely outcome.

"Yeah, this Ye Xuan, with merely a Fourth Grade Demon King Cultivation, is such an anomaly. If his powers were to rise two more grades, then who among the younger generation could be his match by then? Even Demon Dragon Young Master might not be able to hold a candle to him," said Peng Venerable, shaking his head as well.

"To think I might lose, it seems the greatest threat to me is not Linglong, but this kid," Demon Dragon Young Master, watching from another spot in the crowd, fixated his gaze on Ye Xuan, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

"No way, you wretch, you are so strong, you mustn’t lose..."

Yu Yi saw that the situation was looking grim. She had been somewhat pleased to see that Ye Xuan had not been hurt much, but if things continued this way and Linglong lost to Ye Xuan, the outcome would be terrible for her.

Bang!

Just as she was silently cheering for Linglong, the outcome on the platform was decided—Ye Xuan struck Linglong, knocking her off the Battle Platform.

And Ye Xuan himself had also sustained a few injuries. Clearly, defeating Linglong had not been easy, but these injuries were not severe and with a bit of rest and tending to, they wouldn’t affect the next fight.

"I concede."

Ye Xuan stepped off the Battle Platform and extended his hand towards Linglong, knowing well that this loss dealt her a substantial blow.

Although she felt dejected from the loss, Linglong still grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand, pulling herself up from the ground.

"Failure isn’t scary, what’s terrifying is losing confidence due to failure, becoming disheartened. In the world of the strong, there is no eternal victor, is there?"

Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened slightly, and he spoke with a faint smile. In his previous life, he hadn’t been a stranger to failure, and had failed many times. It’s only after experiencing defeat that one can "know shame and thus be brave." This is the tournament platform, where failure doesn’t count for much. Outside, a single defeat could cost a life.

The Genius Showdown wasn’t merely about determining positions and rankings; for the many young talents of Sky Demon Mountain, it was also a test. To refine oneself in battle and advance through competition with others—that was the true purpose of the tournament.

And many people undoubtedly ignored this essence.

"I understand, thank you."

On hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Linglong was initially startled, then nodded in acknowledgement. Regardless of the validity of what Ye Xuan said, she felt his sincerity, and his words were indeed thought-provoking, providing her much comfort.

"Demon Dragon Young Master is much stronger than me, and your Cultivation is still too low. Once you engage in battle, I fear you ultimately will not stand a chance. If you cannot defeat him, better not to fight to the limit. Demon Dragon Young Master does not hold back in his attacks; if he sees you as a threat, he might take the opportunity to gravely injure you, even damage your foundation on the Battle Platform. Be careful," Linglong also earnestly advised Ye Xuan.

"Thank you for the heads up."

Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered, and he glanced towards where Demon Dragon Young Master was sitting. Indeed, the latter was coldly staring at him. Clearly, he didn’t have the slightest bit of fondness for Ye Xuan.

Linglong wouldn’t slander Demon Dragon Young Master without cause. But for Ye Xuan, it hardly mattered. The final battle was not that important to him; it may be a must-win for Demon Dragon Young Master, but for Ye Xuan, it was merely an ultimate test of strength.

However, this did not mean Ye Xuan did not take the fight with Demon Dragon Young Master seriously; he simply wouldn’t put his life on the line for such a competition.

"Ye Xuan wins!"

As the result was declared, the referee’s voice followed swiftly from the platform, causing a stir among the audience below.

"No way..."

Yu Yi felt as if the apocalypse had arrived. This Ye Xuan guy had actually won! Didn’t that mean she would have to accept Ye Xuan’s terms? Fulfill the bet?
