Chapter 350: Future Hope

Sect Master Wu Xinjue, who had just arrived, was stunned…

"What do you mean by that?"

He had rushed over immediately after receiving Warrior Feng's transmission.

He hadn't seen the exchange that just occurred…

"Tsk, tsk, tsk… You'll know if you keep watching." Warrior Feng didn't answer; he didn't even glance at Sect Master Wu Xinjue, his gaze remaining locked on the Arena.

As the First Seat of Wudao Peak, he naturally knew very well how strong Dou Zhixiong was.

But now, Xiao Fan could actually fight against Dou Zhixiong!

Outside the Arena, Hu Rui's eyes were also wide with shock.

She wasn't surprised that Xiao Fan defeated Chen Bin; Xiao Fan already possessed the strength to challenge those of a higher Realm.

Afterwards, when he defeated three Wudao Peak Disciples who were also at the sixth level of the Tongtian Realm, she could still barely accept it.

But now he was facing Dou Zhixiong…

The third-ranked Chief Disciple of Wudao Peak, Dou Zhixiong.

Inside the Arena…

Dou Zhixiong's face was grim as he looked down at Xiao Fan, his expression filled with shock.

The other's elusive Cultivation Technique made him feel a chill down his spine.

He knew very well that if Xiao Fan's Realm were a bit higher, his strength a bit greater, and his speed a bit faster,

the outcome would have already been decided by now.

Similarly,

Xiao Fan also looked at Dou Zhixiong in mid-air.

The opponent could take out a Magical Artifact and counterattack the moment he escaped death.

That was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.

Strong, very strong.

Not just in strength, but also in combat experience and awareness.

Both were very strong.

"You are strong; I did indeed underestimate you before, but… you still won't be a match for me."

Dou Zhixiong regained some of his composure.

His Realm was higher than Xiao Fan's; although the other possessed combat strength nearly equal to his own,

the other's true Realm was, after all, only the third level of the Tongtian Realm.

His spiritual power definitely wouldn't be as abundant as his own.

Furthermore, if he was prepared, for Xiao Fan to try and launch an elusive sneak attack like before

would be nearly impossible.

Dou Zhixiong's body seethed with Killing Intent…

He roared toward the sky, his voice like a bolt of heavenly thunder crashing down, heading straight for Xiao Fan.

This time, he would strike first.

A Pitch-black Longsword appeared in Xiao Fan's hand; his expression was cold and stern, never relaxing his vigilance for a moment.

"Boom"…

"Rumble"…

In an instant, the two were clashing once again.

Dou Zhixiong attacked without mercy, his Long Saber constantly slashing at Xiao Fan.

The grade of this Long Saber was High Grade Profound Rank, and its power was terrifying.

Opposite him, Xiao Fan's figure was agile, his Pitch-black Longsword constantly colliding with the Long Saber.

This time, Xiao Fan didn't use Shadow Shifting.

This move was of little use for a surprise attack when the opponent was on guard.

Now it could only be used to dodge fatal attacks.

In fact, it was exactly as Xiao Fan thought; Dou Zhixiong was constantly on guard against Xiao Fan suddenly disappearing…

The massive Arena's bluestone floor turned into ruins in the blink of an eye…

The two of them took to the air simultaneously.

The battlefield shifted to the sky.

All the surrounding Disciples looked up into the air.

Under the shining sun, the two figures engaged in fierce combat, appearing brilliant and dazzling.

In the shadows, Sect Master Wu Xinjue also looked surprised…

"He's actually become this strong? How long has it even been!"

He couldn't believe it; the last time Xiao Fan had shown his strength was within the Outer Sect's Secret Realm.

It had only been a month and a half since then…

The current Xiao Fan was like a completely different person compared to back then, a world of difference.

Strong, too strong.

"It's simply unreasonable for this boy not to join my Wudao Peak!!"

Warrior Feng felt the same emotions the Wudao Peak Disciples had earlier; he was currently filled with resentment.

However, the reason for his Life Qi was because Xiao Fan had not joined his Wudao Peak!

Xiao Fan's talent was too terrifying.

If he joined Wudao Peak, his future would be limitless.

Not only was his ability to challenge those of a higher Realm terrifyingly scary,

his speed of Realm advancement was equally frightening.

He had secretly made up his mind that if he had to compete with the other three peaks for Xiao Fan in the future,

he would definitely put in his full effort and not back down an inch.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue's shock was not a bit less than Warrior Feng's.

How long had it been since Xiao Fan joined the Sect?

To think he would grow so quickly.

Not to mention becoming an Inner Sect Disciple from an Outer Sect Disciple within a few months,

now, he could even fight on equal terms with Wudao Peak's third Chief Disciple, Dou Zhixiong.

At this rate, it was estimated that Xiao Fan would be able to advance to the Xuandan Realm in less than a year!

And with his talent for challenging those of a higher Realm…

An ordinary Xuandan Realm Elder might not necessarily be his match.

Hope.

Xiao Fan was definitely the future hope of the Jixian Sect.

At this moment, even Sect Master Wu Xinjue had the thought of taking Xiao Fan as his Personal Disciple…

A quarter of an hour later…

Inside the Arena, in mid-air.

Whether it was Xiao Fan or Dou Zhixiong, both were drenched in sweat and covered in wounds.

Such an intense battle had caused them to consume a massive amount of spiritual power.

But the two sides were still evenly matched.

Dou Zhixiong's strength was slightly superior to Xiao Fan's, but at every critical moment, Xiao Fan could use Stars Shifting to dodge,

causing the opponent's attacks to fail time and again.

And without using his trump cards, Xiao Fan was also unable to cause heavy injuries to Dou Zhixiong.

Whether it was Spirit-Devouring Moon Slash or Samsara Fist,

Xiao Fan hadn't used either of these two moves.

Trump cards only have meaning when used at a critical moment.

Both sides looked solemn as they clashed once again.

The surrounding Disciples had long been too stunned to speak.

Xiao Fan was terrifying beyond imagination.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared between the two…

A wave of air blocked the path in front of Xiao Fan and Dou Zhixiong,

preventing them from moving forward even half a step, separating them in mid-air.

"Stop."

Warrior Feng stepped forward to intervene and said in a heavy voice, "The match is over."
