At the moment of contact, surging energy waves spread in all directions.
The air was rapidly compressed, and a piercing sonic boom spread from point to area.
On the right arm of the Netherworld White Tiger, the fur fell backward exaggeratedly like waves of wheat, contrasting with the white clothes of Chi Xiu that were fluttering wildly backward.
"Bang!"
The collision time was less than half a second.
Chi Xiu's feet were deeply embedded in the ground, his body as immovable as a mountain.
He looked at the Netherworld White Tiger that was violently rolling backward, and slowly withdrew his right fist with cold eyes.
The roaring sound of the air wave gradually subsided, and colorful elemental fluctuations swirled and converged towards Chi Xiu's fist.
In the direction where the Netherworld White Tiger fell, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun had reappeared, both lying on the ground, unconscious.
The scene fell silent.
In the stands, those who had been standing all along fell silent, and those who had been seated rose to their feet.
Everyone stared in shock at the scene below.
In their eyes, the entire process of the Spirit Fusion Technique, from its execution to its defeat, lasted less than three seconds!
Many knew that the Star Luo team had a trump card, one they had never used before.
This was the first time they had used it in the entire challenge.
Yet the result… a defeat in three seconds.
This result was exciting, but even more shocking.
Of course, the people from the Star Luo Empire were the most unable to accept this result.
"Weis and Zhu Yun are both Soul Masters, the power of their Spirit Fusion Technique must be at the Soul Saint level, there's no bloodline suppression involved…"
The Star Luo Emperor frowned, unable to offer any explanation.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and abruptly raised his head.
"Could this young man's soul power level be even higher than a Soul Saint?"
From the start of the challenge until now, Chi Xiu's cultivation level had never been revealed.
This conjecture caused the Star Luo Emperor to sit heavily in his seat, his brows furrowed.
"Impossible..."
He pondered, his fingers clenching into fists, still finding the conjecture too absurd.
"How could there possibly be a Soul Master on the continent who can cultivate so rapidly?"
...
Only one member of the Star Luo team could continue fighting.
The result of the match was now decided.
Chi Xiu let out a soft breath. He knew that from the very beginning, the Star Luo team had given their all, including unleashing their Soul Fusion Technique to eliminate the remaining members of the Heaven Dou team.
Their arrangements from start to finish were perfect; in contrast, the Heaven Dou team's tactics were much more passive.
But he, as an extremely uncertain factor, had already exceeded the Star Luo team's plans.
Xue Ye understood clearly; this result was exactly what he had expected.
In his view, even the most meticulous plan from the Star Luo team could not encompass Chi Xiu.
Because for them, Chi Xiu had always been an uncontrollable force.
Bi Ji jumped down from the stage and used her soul skill to heal Xiao Wu and the others, while Chi Xiu went to Zhu Zhuqing.
She had many injuries, but her expression was the most excited among them.
"Are you alright?"
Chi Xiu looked at Zhu Zhuqing's wounds with some concern; some were deep, but the bleeding had stopped after Bi Ji's treatment.
Zhu Zhuqing turned around, her eyes flickering.
She stood on tiptoe, opened her arms, and hugged Chi Xiu tightly, finally bursting into tears.
"I didn't lose this time..."
"You didn't lose..."
After this match, Xiao Wu and the others understood the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.
They were enveloped in a green healing light, their gazes fixed on the weeping Zhu Zhuqing. As teammates, everyone was genuinely happy for her.
...
The Tian Dou team arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry, as the journey alone took a considerable amount of time.
The challenge match was time-sensitive; being late would result in automatic defeat.
Chi Xiu could only hurriedly say goodbye to his father before boarding the carriage and following the army out of Tian Dou City.
The people followed the carriage with excited expressions to see it off.
The streets of Tiandou City gradually filled with people, some even jogging behind until the city walls came into view, at which point they reluctantly stopped.
Unlike the scene a month ago, filled with doubt and insults, this time the people looked at the seven members of the Purple Star Clan with utmost respect.
...
Five days later.
A group of disguised caravans arrived at a small village.
Led by a guide, they passed through the village and arrived at the foot of a mountain.
The area was desolate, surrounded by mountains, with almost no one in sight.
The guide said, "You need to go up the mountain first, then cross an iron chain bridge to reach another mountain peak, where the Clear Sky Sect is located."
The middle-aged man at the head nodded and then tossed a bag of gold soul coins to the guide.
The latter weighed it in his hand and smiled, "Then I'll wait for you here."
Half an hour later.
A tiger's roar came from the iron chain bridge. The middle-aged man put away his martial soul, removed the iron chain, and was escorted by four or five soul master experts towards a huge stone building.
The middle-aged man at the head of the group looked up at the massive, fortress-like building. The stone gate was about five meters high, with a plaque above it bearing three powerful characters:
Haotian Sect!
"Who goes there?"
came the voice of a gatekeeper from the sentry post.
The middle-aged man removed his cloak, revealing a noble and dignified face.
"The Star Luo Emperor."
...
Inside the ancient and imposing hall, the walls were all dark blue-green stone.
Tang Xiao, with his back to the Star Luo Emperor and his entourage, waved his hand behind him.
"The Haotian Sect has gone into seclusion. Your Majesty may have made a wasted trip. I apologize, see them out."
The Star Luo Emperor clenched his fist.
Since the last battle between the two teams, the Tian Dou team had won another match after returning to Star Luo.
The Star Luo team, however, was severely depleted. Even though they had drawn an academy, they chose to skip the match, resulting in an automatic loss.
The Star Luo Emperor had been lamenting these past few days, but there was nothing he could do.
He had no choice but to approach the Haotian Sect.
The Star Luo Emperor urged again,
"If you draw the Haotian Sect and your sect refuses to fight, aren't you afraid that all the Soul Masters in the world will laugh at your Haotian Sect for having no one to fight?"
Tang Xiao frowned upon hearing this.
Seeing that he was somewhat moved, the Star Luo Emperor intensified his persuasion, "Your Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for so long. Who knows if you're refusing to fight because your sect is already in dire straits? You'll end up with something to talk about." "
That brat Chi Xiu has already trampled the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan underfoot. He's extremely arrogant now."
Just then, Tang Xiao suddenly turned around, his expression strange.
The Star Luo Emperor's voice also stopped abruptly. He thought that his words had angered Tang Xiao.
But Tang Xiao asked with a serious expression, "Who did you just say? Chi Xiu?"
"It's Chi Xiu. Do you know him?"
Tang Xiao's expression was strange: "I don't know him..."
"But he does."
After he finished speaking, he looked behind him.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a thin face, deep-set eyes, and a layer of shadow on his skin walked out from behind the screen.
If Chi Xiu were here, he would be utterly astonished.
This person was none other than Tang Hao!
And not only had he returned to the Haotian Sect, but both his legs were also completely healed.
The Star Luo Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could this be... His Majesty Haotian?"
"It is I."
"How did you end up like this?"
Tang Hao's eyes were cold: "It's all thanks to that brat. I also blame myself for underestimating him."
"Your Majesty,"
Tang Xiao declared before the Star Luo Emperor could speak further, "We accept the challenge."
