Chapter 561: One Move

In the cultivation world, one first looks at Realm and strength, and then at age and talent.

The age of thirty is a significant watershed.

The higher the Realm before thirty, and the stronger the ability to challenge those of a higher level, the more one can see a person's potential and how far they can go in the future.

This is also valued in Wuhuang Province, though far less than in other major provinces.

Only when the younger generation is full of Prodigies can the coming era be brilliant!

In the time of an hour, Xiao Fan watched nearly ten matches.

Among these people, there were even Prodigies of the Yuanhun Realm who stepped forward.

Just now, a young man named Chu Feng, although his strength was only at the third level of the Yuanhun Realm, when he erupted, his strength was comparable to the sixth level of the Yuanhun Realm.

Xiao Fan estimated that it would be very easy for this young man to defeat the head of the Yun Family in Linze City.

At the same time, Xiao Fan was curious and asked City Lord Du Ling if the people sent by other cities were all this strong.

Xiao Fan had watched the previous matches, and not one of these people was weak.

If Yun Bao were really allowed to participate, he would likely just be at the bottom.

"Linze City is considered at the bottom among the sixty-four cities…" City Lord Du Ling sent a voice transmission, telling Xiao Fan that Linze City actually only barely met the standard and was just a bit stronger than the small cities.

Among the medium-sized cities, it was considered part of the weakest group!

Xiao Fan was speechless, gaining a deeper understanding of this Yihuang Province.

Even the weakest Linze City was like this; what would the other large cities be like?

The fierce battles continued, and an hour later…

"Linze City, Anxu City, representatives for both sides, take the stage." On the Arena, the old man spoke.

It was finally Xiao Fan's turn; he took a step forward and appeared in the center of the field in the next moment.

His opponent was a Genius Prodigy from Anxu City, and among the sixty-four people, he was a very strong existence.

His cultivation was at the second level of the Yuanhun Realm.

The Prodigy from Anxu City looked at Xiao Fan, his face full of joy…

Facing a Cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Xuandan Realm was simply too easy.

Even if the opponent could challenge those of a higher level, there was a fundamental difference between the Xuandan Realm and the Yuanhun Realm.

"This young man from Linze City is likely going to lose this time… his cultivation is too weak."

"Yeah, a second-level Yuanhun Realm Prodigy against the Great Perfection of the Xuandan Realm—isn't this just bullying?"

"A pity, a pity, but there's no helping it…"

"…"

The surrounding discussion was constant, and even City Lord Ming Long and Yuan Jingtian beside him thought so too.

A second-level Yuanhun Realm against a Xuandan Realm; they believed Xiao Fan was bound to lose!

"Begin."

With a shout from the old man, the young Prodigy from Anxu City opposite him moved immediately…

A long saber appeared in his right hand, and his figure was like a stream of light, reaching Xiao Fan's front in the blink of an eye, slashing down with his blade!

The wind of the blade howled, and the sound of rushing thunder rang out simultaneously; as the long saber fell, even the space became distorted!

Xiao Fan was startled; the opponent was very strong, at the second level of the Yuanhun Realm but possessing the strength of the fourth level of the Yuanhun Realm.

However, it was only the fourth level of the Yuanhun Realm; he didn't care!

Xiao Fan patted his Storage Pouch, and a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand!

Calmly and indifferently, he swung horizontally towards the slashing long saber.

"Boom"…

The ground beneath Xiao Fan's feet shattered, and a deep pit dozens of feet wide appeared, but he himself remained motionless, floating in the air.

The young man who had slashed was shocked, clearly not expecting Xiao Fan to block his blade so easily.

However, he didn't hesitate; if one strike failed, he would use two!

His Realm suppressed Xiao Fan's by two levels; he didn't believe the opponent would be his match!

However…

This young Prodigy from Anxu City had just raised his blade, intending to continue slashing.

Xiao Fan moved; a pitch-black sword light from his right hand flashed and vanished in the blink of an eye!

"What!"

The man was startled; Xiao Fan's movement was too fast, leaving him no time to react.

He hadn't even finished his slash when he was hit by the pitch-black sword light, and half of the young man's body was cut away…

A crushing defeat on the spot!

One sword!

An instant kill.

Xiao Fan exhaled and left the Arena.

The surroundings were deathly silent…

Just a moment ago, onlookers were whispering about how many moves Xiao Fan could last, and the result was…

"Too strong, a Great Perfection of the Xuandan Realm actually insta-killed a second-level Yuanhun Realm Prodigy."

"Holy crap, this is… a real Prodigy who can challenge higher levels…"

"Heavens, no way, this strong."

"…"

The expressions of the onlookers changed, full of amazement; a Great Perfection of the Xuandan Realm insta-killing a second-level Yuanhun Realm was truly shocking.

On the Arena, that Prodigy from Anxu City left the stage with a pale face, his injuries extremely severe, requiring a long time to recover.

Humiliating.

A second-level Yuanhun Realm was actually insta-killed by a young man in the Xuandan Realm with one sword!

"This boy is not bad." City Lord Ming Long nodded secretly, acknowledging Xiao Fan's strength.

Yuan Jingtian beside him was also slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Xiao Fan to be this strong!

A Great Perfection of the Xuandan Realm could actually insta-kill a second-level Yuanhun Realm Prodigy.

This was something even he couldn't have done when he was at the Great Perfection of the Xuandan Realm.

Xiao Fan returned to City Lord Du Ling's side with a calm expression.

City Lord Du Ling and the people from Linze City behind him were all so surprised they couldn't speak.

Even City Lord Du Ling was the same; he knew Xiao Fan was strong and that defeating that person wouldn't be a problem, but he had estimated it would at least be an evenly matched battle.

Or…

At least last for dozens of moves.

In the end, as soon as Xiao Fan made a move, the opponent was gone.

At this moment, City Lord Du Ling felt that Xiao Fan might actually have a chance to take first place.

To defeat Yuan Jingtian of the sixth level of the Yuanhun Realm!
