Kang Xiong was also stunned. What was going on? He thought he had gotten a bargain by letting Yang Feilong and Zheng Mihua fight, but his sarcastic remarks had actually caused Xin Mu to break through.
If he were in his prime, he might not have been able to defeat Xin Mu.
But now, the other party had broken through. This wasn't a mere breakthrough from the fifth to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul realm, which was still considered mid-Nascent Soul. This was a breakthrough from the sixth to the seventh level, a qualitative leap!
On the other side.
Yang Feilong and Zheng Mihua looked at each other.
"You should just admit defeat. Otherwise, I might not hold back later. Because after defeating you, I need to recover my peak combat strength as much as possible and challenge them after the battle over there is finished!" Zheng Mihua said to Yang Feilong.
"Admit defeat? You won't hold back?" Yang Feilong smiled and said, "Talking too much is useless. Show me your skills! Otherwise, if you lose, don't make excuses like Jiang Yue did!"
In the stands, Jiang Yue's face darkened again when he heard Yang Feilong's words. Was he being dragged out to be flayed again?
He had calmed down now and felt unbearable shame thinking about his previous irrationality. If he had won the rematch, it would have been fine, but he had lost even more miserably.
Now he understood that Yang Feilong was in the Nascent Soul realm, so his loss wasn't unjust.
Alright, now many people believed Yang Feilong was in the Nascent Soul realm. How could someone in the Golden Core realm be this strong!
Of course, whether Yang Feilong's cultivation was in the Nascent Soul realm or the Golden Core realm, that was something only Tian Ji Zi could say, because his vision was much higher than everyone else present, with his perfected Nascent Soul realm strength.
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Zheng Mihua laughed in anger. He had never thought he would lose to a young man barely in his twenties. Although he could also be called a 'young man,' and his child was over twenty, compared to his thousand-year lifespan, he was truly young, incredibly young.
After all, he only looked to be in his early thirties.
Boom!
The next moment, Zheng Mihua attacked. Since the other party refused to surrender, he would make him understand that his so-called pride was nothing in his eyes!
Zheng Mihua also held a long sword in his hand, and the power of his swordsmanship was stronger than the opponents Yang Feilong had encountered before.
Moreover, although this person boasted of a quick victory, he didn't immediately use his trump card from the start, because trump cards consumed a lot of Golden Core power.
Yang Feilong had previously killed cultivators at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul realm. This was his second confrontation. At that time, he had relied on a formation. Today, without relying on a formation, his strength was also much stronger than before.
After all, with the improvement in his realm, other aspects of his techniques had also improved to a certain extent.
Seeing Yang Feilong block his killing move, Zheng Mihua was shocked because he had never expected Yang Feilong to be so strong.
And as the battle progressed, he realized that defeating the opponent had become a mere wish!
Yang Feilong, on the other hand, treated Zheng Mihua as a form of training. The opponent's strength was formidable, his techniques were numerous, and his dazzling attacks were overwhelming, but Yang Feilong's swordsmanship was not to be trifled with either!
His self-created 'Following My Heart Sword Technique' and the 'Shattering the World Sword Technique' passed down by his master both possessed immense divine power. The stronger the Golden Core power, the more terrifying the power of the sword techniques that could be displayed.
Boom boom boom!
Yang Feilong's swordsmanship became increasingly powerful. When Yang Feilong unleashed his perfect 'Shocking Four Directions' killing move, Zheng Mihua could no longer resist and was directly blasted away!
He flew off the stage.
"Yang Feilong wins again!"
"A pity. If Xin Mu hadn't broken through to the late Nascent Soul realm, Yang Feilong could have truly broken through the encirclement and won the beauty!"
"Indeed! He fought Zheng Mihua with all his might, but Xin Mu easily defeated Kang Xiong and rested for quite a while. His cultivation might have already stabilized!"
"That's right! Yang Feilong's current state is similar to Xin Mu's, but Xin Mu's strength is far, far greater than Zheng Mihua's!"
When they saw Xin Mu break through to the late Nascent Soul realm, the Luo family members felt helpless. Yang Feilong's strength was already enough, but the other party had suddenly broken through before the battle. Who could have anticipated that?
Xin Mu would have normally needed a long time to break through. However, her battle with Han Qingyuan, although a narrow victory, had shaken her cultivation bottleneck. Stimulated by Kang Xiong's words, she acted impulsively and broke through!
"What a pity, such a pity!"
"Feilong can actually suppress mid-Nascent Soul realm cultivators, and he's only twenty years old! His future achievements are unimaginable!"
"......"
The Luo family members were on the verge of tears, and Luo Xiangning was extremely worried. Her heart felt like it had fallen to the bottom of a lake.
What could be done?
If Yang Feilong were to lose, she feared she could only atone with her death.
Although this matter was not her fault, she could not accept marrying someone else. Now she deeply regretted why she hadn't persisted. If she had told her clan that her man was Yang Feilong, although there might have been some strange looks, she believed her family would have forgiven and understood her.
After all, Yang Feilong was so outstanding!
But now, it was too late for anything!
Too late!
The Luo family's mood was grim. The Yang family, while regretful, was not as remorseful. Because Yang Feilong's power was beneficial to their family. Although Yang Feilong's heart was not with their Yang family, his father was a Yang family member!
Compared to the clansmen who were happy to see Yang Feilong's powerful strength, Yang Ping Tian's mood was very bad.
The opponent was too strong, and he had no confidence in his son. To be honest, his son's strength had far exceeded his imagination.
What concept was this? Barely twenty years old, and he could already suppress cultivators at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul realm. What about in three to five more years? He might be able to fight Nascent Soul realm cultivators!
Of course, he was thinking too far ahead. The Nascent Soul realm was not easy to reach. Well, he also assumed Yang Feilong's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul realm.
The main reason was that the power Yang Feilong displayed was too strong. If he didn't unleash his Golden Core outwards, others truly wouldn't be able to tell.
Only two people remained. If Yang Feilong didn't challenge, and the six o'clock deadline arrived, there was no doubt Yang Feilong would be eliminated, because Yang Feilong currently had only over twenty-three thousand contestant tokens, while Xin Mu had over twenty-four thousand, nearly a thousand more than Yang Feilong!
Therefore, Yang Feilong did not step off the stage. Instead, he pointed his long sword at Xin Mu: "I challenge, Xin Mu!"
"Challenge me? In my opinion, you should just admit defeat! Possessing such strength at your age is already very good, but compared to me, the gap is still quite large!" Xin Mu said to Yang Feilong with a relaxed smile.
He flew towards the stage.
"The gap is large? How can you know without fighting!" Yang Feilong said faintly.
"You have a lot of confidence! But I like crushing geniuses' confidence the most!" Xin Mu grinned, "However, I'm not set on Luo Xiangning, this beauty. If you're willing to give me your top-grade spirit artifact, I'm willing to withdraw!"
He was still thinking about Yang Feilong's top-grade spirit artifact!
A top-grade spirit artifact! If he could obtain it, his strength would increase by a large margin. He could even continue to use it when he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, because many Nascent Soul realm cultivators still used high-grade spirit artifacts.
Top-grade spirit artifacts, each one was extremely valuable!
In his opinion, although Luo Xiangning was beautiful and had great potential, if he searched diligently, he could still find excellent and beautiful female cultivators. As a sword cultivator, the value of a top-grade spirit artifact could make him give up on a beautiful female cultivator who he felt was already in his grasp!
"A pipe dream!" Yang Feilong's lips curled into a cold smile, "Do you think you've got me figured out? How do you know I wasn't fighting at full strength before?"
"Not fighting at full strength? Are you trying to fool me? Heh, it seems like I need to grind down your will, otherwise, you'll really think I can't do anything to you." The next moment, a terrifying power erupted from Xin Mu's long sword.
Rumble!
A beam of energy with unparalleled power struck out.
Yang Feilong immediately summoned his top-grade spirit artifact and met the attack with his long sword.
Rumble!
In an instant, the two clashed. Xin Mu had originally intended to make Yang Feilong realize the gap between them, and then have Yang Feilong choose such an exchange.
But with this clash, Xin Mu realized he had underestimated Yang Feilong. The other party could actually fight him on par. Although his realm was not yet very stable, his Nascent Soul power had undergone earth-shattering changes.
