Martial Arts Overlord

"Sword Intent, this is at least seventy percent Sword Qi!"

"Last year, Jian Wuji’s Sword Intent was only at forty percent realm. In just one year, he’s grown to such a level. He truly is the king among the younger generation, unmatched!"

"Yu Bufan can cultivate the Three Day Sun Exposure Skill to the eighth level, and he’s also a prodigy. But unfortunately, Jian Wuji is too strong."

"Undoubtedly, this year’s champion of the New Dragon List conference will be Jian Wuji again."

The entire Group Dragon Island was in an uproar.

As everyone knows, powers like Sword Intent are extremely elusive to comprehend and enhance. He Qin’s fifty percent Sword Intent is already astonishing to the experts present, but Jian Wuji’s Sword Intent has reached seventy percent. Judging by the power of the Sword Qi just now, it may very well exceed seventy percent, possibly reaching eighty percent!

"Jian Wuji, I have not yet lost!"

Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, a furious roar suddenly exploded. Yu Bufan stared at Jian Wuji, his face flushed red, veins popping out from beneath his skin, and he let out an earth-shattering roar to the sky.

Roar!

Boom!

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a ring of fire again condensed in the void behind Yu Bufan, and instantly, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, slightly distorting the surrounding air.

As the flames soared, Yu Bufan’s momentum escalated, unstoppable like a floodgate opening.

"This is..."

"The ninth level of the Three Day Sun Exposure Skill!"

"Yu Bufan actually cultivated the Three Day Sun Exposure Skill to the ninth level."

"Wonder if he can battle Jian Wuji again."

"Look, Yu Bufan is igniting his blood Qi!"

On the Ascending Dragon Platform, Yu Bufan, having activated the ninth level of the Three Day Sun Exposure Skill, transformed his aura again.

His skin suddenly turned into a deep dark red, like solidified lava, and the fresh blood just sprayed onto the ground bizarrely ignited, the blood-red flames rapidly growing against the wind, his aura soaring dramatically once again.

"Jian Wuji, take another move from me, Blood Flame Light Slash!"

Spitting a large mouthful of burning blood, Yu Bufan, with eyes sharp as blades, clasped his palms together and slashed towards Jian Wuji.

Boom!

The blood flame merged with the Flame Gang Qi, transforming into a gigantic blood-red light blade over a hundred meters long, crushing towards Jian Wuji like a volcanic eruption, reaching a peak momentum.

"Yu Bufan, you’ve earned the right for me to draw my sword."

For the first time, Jian Wuji’s eyes became serious. With a clanging sound, he drew his sword and stabbed out.

"Sky Heart Sword!"

Chiz!

No one could describe how fast this sword was, because just as they saw Jian Wuji making a move, a concentrated sword light had already shot out rapidly, as swift as lightning.

Silently, the blood flame light blade split into two, the blood flame on Yu Bufan’s body was sliced open, with a shallow blood mark appearing on his chest, blood oozing out and transforming into flames instantly.

Yu Bufan didn’t make another move, because somehow Jian Wuji’s sword was already at his neck, the tip of the sword cold to the bone.

"I... I admit defeat..."

Despite the unwillingness filling his chest, by this point, Yu Bufan had no choice but to concede, his voice full of helplessness and reluctance.

He had revealed the ninth level of the Three Day Sun Exposure Skill at the last moment, originally intending to catch Jian Wuji off guard, yet still couldn’t prevail over Jian Wuji. Even without the sword at his neck, continuing the fight was pointless.

Group Dragon Island fell silent, the spectators watching Jian Wuji on the Ascending Dragon Platform, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing Yu Bufan cultivate the Three Day Sun Exposure Skill to the ninth level and enhance his power by burning blood Qi, many thought Yu Bufan, if not victorious, should at least make Jian Wuji struggle.

Yet...

One sword!

Only one sword, Yu Bufan, who had post-True Yuan Realm first-level cultivation and had cultivated the Earth-grade inferior cultivation technique to the ninth level, decisively lost! Not a chance to resist.

"Too strong, completely one-sided."

"Yu Bufan was insta-defeated with one sword, it seems no one can threaten Jian Wuji in this year’s New Dragon List conference."

"If he wishes, Lu Xiao Yun wouldn’t last a sword in front of him."

"Hmm, Lu Xiao Yun is only at early True Yuan Realm first-level, there’s quite a gap with Yu Bufan, let alone Jian Wuji."

"Too bad Luo Feng’s cultivation is too low. As a Four Spirit Rotations Martial Artist, he defeated Leng Feifan, a True Yuan Realm Martial Artist. If he was a True Yuan Realm Martial Artist too, he might qualify to battle Jian Wuji."

"You mean Luo Feng? Indeed. He has comprehended Grand Momentum, excelling in all aspects; he’s talented. But now, talking about this is meaningless, unless he immediately breaks through to True Yuan Realm. But that’s impossible."

The battle between Jian Wuji and Yu Bufan was overwhelmingly powerful, inciting intense discussions among the crowd.

The six disciples of the Golden Palace peak and the high-level members were no exception.

"Jian Wuji’s Sword Intent is close to Great Accomplishment, combined with the Ruthless Heavenly Sword Technique, his threat even extends to True Yuan Realm second-level Martial Artists. Yu Bufan’s loss wasn’t unjust." Gu Xifeng observed the two on the Ascending Dragon Platform and pondered.

"Luo Feng..."

Shui Linglong withdrew her gaze from the Ascending Dragon Platform, her bright eyes looked at Luo Feng, gently pressing her lips with a trace of worry in her eyes.

She knew Luo Feng’s goal was to be the first New Dragon, and she was confident about it originally.

But now, this confidence seemed a bit shaken.

Jian Wuji was too strong, beyond imagination.

That power of crushing everything forced her to worry for Luo Feng.

"How is this possible!"

Elsewhere, Lu Xiao Yun glared at Jian Wuji, his fists clenched tight with an audible creaking.

No one doesn’t want to be first, and he was no exception.

Even knowing there’s a gap in cultivation and realm between him and Jian Wuji, and Yu Bufan, Lu Xiao Yun hadn’t given up on striving for the top.

That’s why, despite knowing the mysterious saber man who seized the Demon Core of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python was Luo Feng, he’d been enduring until now.

But now, with the battle between Jian Wuji and Yu Bufan, his dream of the first New Dragon was completely shattered.

Turning his glance to Luo Feng, Lu Xiao Yun’s eyebrows twitched fiercely, his eyes extremely dark.

If it weren’t for losing that half of the Demon Core of the Single Horned Red Cloud Python, perhaps he would’ve had hope to defeat Jian Wuji.

"Ruthless Sword Intent, interesting..."

Luo Feng, too, was watching Jian Wuji, a glint flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Achieving the first New Dragon seat too easily would be quite dull. Now, finally, there’s an opponent worthy of his interest.

On the Ascending Dragon Platform, hearing the result of the duel, Jian Wuji leaped back to the first Dragon pillar.

Yu Bufan looked somewhat pale; igniting his blood Qi indeed enhanced his strength, but also placed a heavy burden.

Yet, compared to his exhausted body, his mind felt heavier.

A year of life-risking effort was for the sake of defeating Jian Wuji today and avenging past humiliations. Now it all went down the drain.

The harsh result made him even doubt himself—could he really not match up to an ultimate genius like Jian Wuji?

Noble, lowly.

Mediocre, outstanding...

Are people truly born different?

As Jian Wuji and Yu Bufan left the Ascending Dragon Platform, the atmosphere on Group Dragon Island grew more enthusiastic.

The pinnacle battle earlier left many unsatisfied, eagerly anticipating the upcoming contests.

It’s time!

On the Dragon pillar, Lu Xiao Yun stood up, his sharp gaze directed at Luo Feng.

Since the fight for the first New Dragon seat was hopeless, it was time for a confrontation with the root of all this.
