Chapter 562: The Second Match, Sneak Attack

"Not bad," Zhangsun Ning murmured to herself in the Void Realm above Longwu City.

She had witnessed the entire exchange between Xiao Fan and that man just now. She was slightly surprised by Xiao Fan's ability to challenge those at higher levels, and she could see that he hadn't used his full strength.

Even in a place like Tianshen Prefecture, he would likely be considered a decent seed worth cultivating.

Moreover, two years ago, when Xiao Fan was in a bitter struggle against the Su Clan Elder, Zhangsun Ning had already seen it.

Xiao Fan was a man of mettle who dared to risk his life.

This kind of person was ruthless; even if they were injured, they would bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh.

Someone like that, even if their Realm was slightly lower, would sooner or later become a powerhouse as long as they were given time to grow.

After consuming a large number of grade 5 pills, Zhangsun Ning's Essence Blood had mostly recovered, though her damaged Foundation was difficult to restore.

However, she was, after all, an extraordinary figure in the Yuding Realm and a super Prodigy capable of challenging those above her level.

Thus, even City Lord Ming Long of Longwu City did not sense her presence in the shadows.

The battles continued. Xiao Fan had fought one match today, and there were no more battles for him afterward.

However, for tomorrow, those who were victorious today would each have two matches.

Finally, it was Yuan Jingtian's turn to take the stage. His opponent was not weak either—a Prodigy at the third level of the Yuanhun Realm.

Both sides took the stage. Yuan Jingtian's expression was calm as he looked coldly at his opponent.

That third-level Yuanhun Realm Prodigy felt immense pressure. He immediately channeled all his spiritual energy, intending to go all out from the very first move!

Otherwise, in front of Yuan Jingtian, who was at the sixth level of the Yuanhun Realm, he felt he wouldn't get another chance to strike.

However… even with his full strength, he still couldn't withstand a casual strike from the Yuanhun Realm.

He was instantly defeated in a one-shot kill!

With a flat expression, Yuan Jingtian turned and left the Arena. But as he left, Xiao Fan noticed the other man glance at him with contempt.

Xiao Fan was speechless. Did Yuan Jingtian think he was provoking him just because he had also defeated his own opponent in one move?

If Yuan Jingtian really thought that, then Xiao Fan would certainly think the man was delusional!

I'm at the Xuandan Realm Great Perfection; you're at the sixth level of the Yuanhun Realm, and you have the nerve to compare yourself to me?

The matches didn't stop until all thirty-six bouts were completed.

Today's matches thus came to an end, waiting for the next day to begin.

As for the Arena that had been damaged after a day of fighting, people from the City Lord's Mansion went to repair it!

Xiao Fan and Du Ling returned to the courtyard to wait for the next day.

In this competition, besides Yuan Jingtian, there was no one else worthy of Xiao Fan's attention.

Furthermore, even if he encountered Yuan Jingtian, Xiao Fan might not necessarily lose.

The sixth level of the Yuanhun Realm, capable of challenging higher levels—so what?

At most, his strength would only be at the Yuanhun Realm Great Perfection.

It would only be truly terrifying if the opponent's actual strength was at the Yuanhun Realm Great Perfection and they could still challenge higher levels.

The next day…

"Linze City, Gaoyang City."

The competition continued, and Xiao Fan was in the first match.

"Look, it's that guy again…"

"His opponent is unlucky… only at the first level of the Yuanhun Realm, not enough to put up a fight!"

"I think so too. I wonder how many moves this kid will use this time—will it still be just one sword strike?"

"…"

It had to be said that Xiao Fan's single sword strike yesterday had made him famous, making everyone remember him.

As soon as he took the stage, the discussions began.

Even Xiao Fan himself hadn't expected that he would become famous so quickly.

On the Arena, the opponent facing Xiao Fan—this first-level Yuanhun Realm Prodigy Genius from Gaoyang City—felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

If he hadn't seen Xiao Fan fight, he would have been overjoyed, thinking he had caught a huge break.

But that guy splitting someone in half with a single sword strike yesterday was simply too terrifying.

It could be said that among the Prodigies of the sixty-four cities, the most fearsome person besides Yuan Jingtian was Xiao Fan.

"Fight!"

The youth from Gaoyang City gave a loud shout. Without waiting for the elder to speak, he was enveloped in Killing Intent and soared into the air!

Not just Xiao Fan, but even the elder presiding over the match was stunned for a moment!

A Water Dragon appeared from the right hand of this first-level Yuanhun Realm Prodigy, submerging him. A continuous stream of spiritual energy poured in, making the Water Dragon grow larger and larger until it was a hundred zhang long!

"Kill!"

The Yuanhun Realm youth shouted, and the massive Water Dragon charged toward Xiao Fan.

It took him three breaths to condense this Water Dragon. During that time, Xiao Fan hadn't moved at all, which was equivalent to giving him an opportunity.

Three breaths might be very short for an ordinary person.

But in a battle between such experts, it was extremely important…

And this person had deliberately used the time before the elder on the Arena gave the signal to start, hurrying to condense it just so this move could be formed!

Only then would he have a chance to defeat Xiao Fan!

Xiao Fan's gaze was calm. He didn't even take out his longsword, looking up at the Water Dragon roaring toward him from the sky.

"Samsara Fist!"

Golden light flashed from Xiao Fan's right hand as he immediately soared into the sky, striking the head of the Water Dragon with a punch.

"Boom"…

The Water Dragon was powerful, but in front of the Samsara Fist, it instantly turned into a wave and was extinguished by the golden light!

The Samsara Fist obliterated the Water Dragon in one hit, but it wasn't over yet.

The golden light on Xiao Fan's right hand remained intense. After crushing the Water Dragon, he charged right in front of the first-level Yuanhun Realm youth.

"What!"

The youth was still in shock from Xiao Fan crushing his Water Dragon and had no time to dodge.

He was struck by the Samsara Fist!

"Boom"…

Half the body of this first-level Yuanhun Realm Prodigy was blasted into pieces.
