Clang! Clang! Clang!

Yuan and Li Jinxi continued to swing their large swords at each other for many minutes, but neither of them was using their full strength just yet, as they were gradually increasing their strength to match each other.

"Heavens… How is he defending against Li Jinxi's attacks head-on? Does he also have a unique physique that gives him tyrannical strength?"

The spectators were shocked to witness Yuan fighting Li Jinxi on equal terms, something none of them have seen before.

"Who do you think will win this fight?" Senior Wang asked the other grand elders.

"Hmm… It's hard to tell. While we know Li Jinxi's full strength, we don't really know Daoist Yuan's full potential." Senior Xi said.

"That is indeed true. For example, I could've never predicted that he had the strength to fight Li Jinxi head-on."

"I wonder if he also has a divine body. Considering how many talents he already has… It's not that crazy of an idea."

"Just what is he made out of? He's the definition of a flawless entity created by the heavens just to mess with everyone else."

Meanwhile, on the stage, Li Jinxi started laughing, "Finally! I have been waiting for someone like you! Someone that I can fight to my heart's content without worrying that you'd die in a single hit!"

Clang!

Yuan was pushed back a full meter when Li Jinxi started fighting for real.

'What a heavy strike!' Yuan cried inwardly, his entire arm shaking afterward, feeling like he'd just struck an immovable mountain.

'What should I do? I am a little behind in terms of raw strength…' Yuan pondered as he looked at Li Jinxi, who was glaring at him like a tiger before its prey.

"What are you waiting for? Are you too afraid to continue? I can tell that you're weaker than me in terms of strength." Li Jinxi said to him.

Yuan remained silent.

There was a good chance that his movement technique wouldn't work on her, who has very keen eyes and a fast reaction, not to mention her weird sword technique that allows her to change her sword's direction at will.

'This is… fun!'

A wide smile appeared on his face, as he has never fought against such an opponent before.

It was at this moment that Yuan felt a surge of energy bursting from somewhere within his body, making him feel like he was invincible.

However, this energy gave him more than just strength and confidence— it also gave him an uncontrollable urge to destroy everything in his path.

And unbeknownst to Yuan, his body began emitting a golden aura that chilled the atmosphere there.

"You…" Li Jinxi's eyes widened when she felt this aura that resembled that of a powerful beast.

"Am I seeing things or is he currently glowing?" Someone asked out loud.

"I see it too."

"What kind of technique is he using?"

"Heavens… My body is shivering uncontrollably for some reason…"

"You too? My body is also shaking…"

No matter who was there, they were all trembling in fear for some reason.

"I have a bad feeling about this…" Senior Wang mumbled in a low voice as she stared at Yuan's still figure.

"..."

Li Jinxi looked at her trembling hands that made it difficult for her to even hold her sword.

'What is this feeling?' she wondered to herself.

Meanwhile, Yuan tightened his grip on the sword, before slowly walking towards Li Jinxi, snapping her out of her daze.

Li Jinxi gritted her teeth to stop the trembling, but when that didn't work, she bit on her lips until it began bleeding, forcibly stopping her trembling with pain.

"Don't get too full of yourself!" Li Jinxi shouted before running at Yuan.

Once she was in range, Li Jinxi swung her huge sword at Yuan.

Clang!

"W-What!?"

Li Jinxi's eyes widened with shock when Yuan defended against her attack with a single hand holding his sword! And he was doing it with seemingly no effort at all!

Li Jinxi was in disbelief, so she tried to overpower him by pressing her sword down with all of her might.

However, Yuan's sword remained as still as a mountain.

"Che!"

Li Jinxi suddenly jumped back to distance herself from Yuan.

"Don't blame me if you get hurt!" Li Jinxi shouted at him before releasing a beastly roar that shook the air around them.

The next moment, her eyes began glowing red with her body emitting a bloodthirsty aura.

Senior Li stood from his seat with a worried expression on his face when he saw Li Jinxi use this unknown technique.

"Aiya! What is that troublemaker doing!? I specifically told her to not use that technique during this competition!" he sighed out loud.

The other grand elders looked at him with their eyebrows raised. This is their first time seeing Li Jinxi use such a technique.

"What technique is she using?"

Senior Li sighed again before speaking, "It's an ancient technique from our family that allows one to increase their body's limits while boosting their overall prowess for a short amount of time. It's a very overbearing technique that nobody in our family has managed to learn since ancient times because our bodies could not handle the stress— at least until Li Jinxi's appearance."

"However, even she cannot control the technique very well. She has gone on a rampage a couple of times after using that technique, and it would take almost every expert in the family to calm her down afterward. We need to prepare ourselves to go down there when she loses control."

"Good lord…" The grand elders were speechless.

'Yuan…' Meixiu looked at his figure with a worried look on her face after hearing Senior Li's words.

Meanwhile, Yuan remained calm despite Li Jinxi's threatening aura.

"Are you ready?" He asked her in a calm voice.

Li Jinxi responded to his question by running at him with her sword raised.

"Let's see if you can handle this!" Li Jinxi swung her sword at him that had enough force to instantly crush a metal ball the size of a large boulder!

Yuan tightened his grip on his sword before intercepting Li Jinxi's attack.

CLANG!

The entire platform shook from their impact.

The next second, Li Jinxi's figure could be seen flying off the platform and into the spectators' area, shocking everybody there.

"Impossible…" Senior Li muttered in disbelief when he witnessed the results.

Not only did Yuan manage to defend against Li Jinxi who had her overall prowess boosted by their family's ancient technique, he completely overpowered her!

"Hm?" Yuan looked at his greatsword afterward, which was snapped in half from the impact.

'What is this feeling?' He wondered to himself as the overwhelming energy in his body began disappearing shortly after the fight.

"W-Winner, Yuan!" The announcer said out loud after realizing that the fight had ended.

The spectators began cheering out loud.

Meanwhile, the doctors went to check on Li Jinxi's condition, who was only knocked unconscious with a couple of minor injuries.

"Young Master Yuan, do you have any words to say?" The announcer handed Yuan a microphone.

Yuan subconsciously accepted the microphone, but he had nothing in mind.
