Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The rounds of battles continued.
Intense battles were going on all the time in the fighting ring.
Han Qianze and Hong Qingtian were respectively defeated by Nie Chong and Huo Ling. Mo Yue defeated Duanmu Ying but lost to Wu Sheng.
The Ninth Princess kept her winning streak by defeating Wu Sheng.
Ao Wushuang continued to overpower his rivals.
After a good while, the competition was drawing to a close at last.
Winning streaks were shared only by Ao Wushuang, the Ninth Princess, and Su Mo.
Ao Wushuang’s Dragon Luck was at an overwhelming 288 meters long.
Su Mo’s 279-meter Dragon Luck was second only to that of Ao Wushuang.
The Ninth Princess possessed a Dragon Luck of 276 meters, which was 3 meters shorter than Su Mo’s.
The final result was now fixed—they would be the top three of the competition.
In terms of Dragon Luck, the other seven of the top 10 were, in order, Wu Sheng, Mo Yue, Huo Ling, Nie Chong, Hong Qingtian, Han Qianze, and Duanmu Ying.
The arena grew quiet as everyone knew the final battles were coming.
Ranked first for the time being, Ao Wushuang’s duel would be the grand finale. Before that, there would be a fight between the Ninth Princess and Su Mo.
The loser would have another duel with Ao Wushuang, while the winner would challenge Ao Wushuang in the final match.
“Buzz! Buzz!”
The contestant tokens of both Su Mo and the Ninth Princess began to quiver.
Su Mo flew into the Central Fighting Ring with a single leap.
The Ninth Princess, who wore a white robe and a white veil, immediately flew over like a fairy, calmly arriving in the fighting ring.
The two of them were standing 200 meters apart and staring at each other.
At this time, the spectators also began to talk about the battle.
“They’re two dark horses, I wonder who’s stronger!”
“They seem to be equally matched, it’s hard to say who will win! Can Su Mo’s attacks work against the Ninth Princess’s defense?”
“If nothing else, they’ll rank in second and third place. Ao Wushuang must be number one!”
“Yes, Ao Wushuang will be number one for sure. But Su Mo and the Ninth Princess are also powerful enough to take some strikes from Ao Wushuang!”
The spectators fixed their eyes on the fighting ring while they talked.
Ao Wushuang was also gazing at the two of them in the ring. However, he did not care much about them because he was confident that he would have the last laugh.
In the fighting ring...
Faced with the graceful posture in front of him, Su Mo looked serious, not daring to let his guard down.
The Ninth Princess was powerful enough to distress every opponent.
“I’ll defeat you!” the Ninth Princess softly said with her sharp eyes lighting up.
“Only if you’re able to!” Su Mo sneered.
He added, “Unfortunately, I don’t have any pity for women, so be careful!”
“I don’t need your pity!” the Ninth Princess grumbled and began to attack at once.
“Ethereal Flower Cut!”
A two-meter petal of Genuine Vitality appeared with a wave of her hand. Its sharpness was comparable to any long saber or sharp sword, and it moved like lightning toward Su Mo.
“Break!”
As a ray of sword radiance flashed by, Su Mo’s sword pointed straight at the petal.
“Boom!”
The petal quickly ruptured after a bang and gave off a dense gas.
“Devastating Red Lotus!”
The Ninth Princess knew very well that Su Mo would be immune to her normal attacks, so she exerted her ultimate skill.
With a wave of her hands, Genuine Vitality gushed out to form a beautiful red lotus.
The lotus well deserved its name, “Devastating Red Lotus”, for it brought about an air of destruction with its appearance.
“Swish!”
The Devastating Red Lotus fiercely split the sky and swiftly rushed at Su Mo. The cracks in the air were deafening.
This Devastating Red Lotus was apparently stronger than the one she had released versus Nie Chong.
“Buzz! Buzz!”
Su Mo’s Spirit-slayer Sword quivered as dense Genuine Vitality flew into it, then it was covered by a dazzling brilliance.
“Shatter!”
With a bellow, the Spirit-slayer Sword emitted overwhelming sword radiance and violently chopped at the Devastating Red Lotus.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The Devastating Red Lotus exploded in one strike, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that swept away everything around it. Su Mo instantly flew back to dodge the impact.
He looked slightly grim and was shocked by the Ninth Princess’s strength because he knew that her cultivation was inferior to his, which was only at Peak Lv 3 of the True Spirit Realm.
After all, during Su Mo’s path of cultivation, nearly every opponent that he had met had a higher cultivation. In other words, no one at the same rank as him could take one of his strikes.
But the Ninth Princess, who was even one level below him, could be evenly matched with him. This was enough to make him feel anxious!
At the same time, the Ninth Princess also marveled at Su Mo’s strength.
Her talent was top-notch even in the Dark Domain. Few martial artists at Lv 4 of the True Spirit Realm could truly match her.
It was even rarer to see anyone who could destroy the Devastating Red Lotus with only one strike.
She had not fully activated the Devastating Red Lotus at all when fighting against Nie Chong.
Thus, it could be seen that Su Mo would be called an expert even in the Dark Domain.
This comparison was, of course, limited to the same rank. There were plenty of talents in the Dark Domain, and many of those under 25 had gone beyond Lv 7 of the True Spirit Realm.
“Swish!”
After a vain attack, the Ninth Princess cast two Devastating Red Lotuses in a pair at Su Mo.
The two giant lotuses formed a converging attack that Su Mo was unable to dodge.
“Burst again!” Su Mo growled.
He swung the long sword with both hands and released two rays of sharp Sword Qi, swiftly slashing at the two lotuses.
The two rays of Sword Qi were heavily flung at the two Devastating Red Lotuses, like two meteor tails splitting the sky.
“Boom! Boom!”
With another two bangs, the two Devastating Red Lotuses exploded, sending devastating shockwaves out in all directions.
Su Mo stepped forward instead and rushed at the Ninth Princess.
“Infinite Supremacy!”
As the sword radiance flashed, formidable Sword Qi roared to attack the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess looked worried and activated her Teal Lotus Shield, letting petals float around to form a huge, beautiful green lotus.
She was well-wrapped in the lotus shield for a good defense.
In the next instant, the Ninth Princess was harshly beaten by Su Mo’s Sword Qi and was forced to step back. The lotus shield that was wrapping her violently quivered but remained intact.
“So powerful!”
Su Mo frowned at that surprising scene.
The Teal Lotus Shield was incredibly invulnerable!
An uproar was heard from the spectator stands. The Teal Lotus Shield was so impregnable that even Su Mo was unable to break it down.
