37: Battle of the Prodigies, Xiao Yunting VS Dongfang You

Chapter 37: Battle of Prodigies, Xiao Yunting VS Dongfang You

Under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Yunting, dressed in a long robe, walked over with a calm expression.

Under the eyes of the many Disciples, he remained completely unfazed, as if he hadn't seen anything.

However, some observant Disciples could see that Xiao Yunting’s body was trembling slightly, and his eyes held a hint of joy and excitement.

Clearly, Xiao Yunting was not as calm as he appeared.

“Revered Master, did you see it?”

“I’ve become the protagonist of the Holy Land Competition; everyone is watching me.”

Xiao Yunting said with immense excitement.

His tone could not hide his wild joy.

“I saw it.”

Old Ming felt a wave of helplessness.

His Disciple was excellent at maintaining a calm exterior, but his mentality wasn't good enough; he was losing his composure even in such a small setting.

He was truly lacking!

He shouldn’t be so excited about such a minor occasion, and he wasn’t even the only protagonist, so why be so agitated?

Sure enough, the next moment, Dongfang You arrived.

He attracted countless gazes, causing Xiao Yunting to no longer be the sole focus of everyone’s attention.

Especially Dongfang You’s handsome Face, which made Xiao Yunting extremely displeased.

Dongfang You was dressed in a white Daoist robe, his handsome Face utterly flawless.

Coupled with his lazy demeanor, he attracted the attention of countless female Disciples.

These female Disciples screamed Dongfang You’s name as if they had seen their Prince Charming.

Quite a few male Disciples were also shouting.

“What’s the use of being handsome? You need real strength!”

Xiao Yunting thought, feeling annoyed.

“Being handsome is indeed useless, but if you’re both handsome and powerful, that’s terrifying.”

Old Ming thought to himself.

For Cultivators, strength is the foundation of everything; appearance isn't very useful.

In fact, the looks of Cultivators are generally not bad, but once they possess both, it’s a different story.

This reminded Old Ming of an old friend.

That person was simply too handsome, so stunningly handsome that wherever he went, countless female Cultivators were infatuated with him.

Even figures at the Holy Revered Master level were captivated by him.

“Hello, everyone!”

Dongfang You smiled, his smile incredibly radiant, giving people a feeling of basking in a spring breeze.

As soon as this smile appeared, many female Disciples shrieked even louder.

“Heh heh, what’s the use of being handsome?”

Dongfang You was so popular that some male Cultivators felt sour.

Why was Heaven so unfair?

Why did it give him such high looks and such Heaven-Defying talent?

As time passed,

Xu Zhuo, one of the three, arrived last.

Unlike Xiao Yunting’s indifference and Dongfang You’s handsomeness, Xu Zhuo looked very ordinary and inconspicuous.

However, as a Prodigy who had emerged in the Holy Land, Xu Zhuo’s reputation was clearly not low; he just wasn’t as popular as the previous two.

Soon, the other Disciples also arrived, followed by the Elder presiding over the Holy Land Competition.

“Holy Land Competition, finals begin!”

Without any flowery opening remarks, the Elder directly announced the start of the competition.

Soon, the matches began in the plaza.

After half a day of competition, Xu Zhuo was eliminated by Xiao Yunting.

Ultimately, only Xiao Yunting and Dongfang You remained. Both were Prodigies who had emerged in this Holy Land Competition, and everyone paid close attention to their final match.

They all wanted to know which of these two emerging Prodigies would be superior.

On the arena.

Dongfang You looked at Xiao Yunting with a proud expression and said calmly, “You consumed a lot of energy in your match with Senior Brother Xu Zhuo. I don’t want to take advantage of your weakened state.”

“If you Face me now, you have no chance!”

“I can give you an hour to recover, allowing you to fully recuperate before fighting me. That way, I can defeat you honorably.”

If it were anyone else, they would likely wait until they had recovered before fighting Dongfang You.

But who was Xiao Yunting? He was the chosen one, a true protagonist.

How could he miss such a moment to show off!

Xiao Yunting refused without hesitation, saying even more arrogantly, “Even with the considerable consumption just now, it’s completely enough to defeat you.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang You’s expression immediately changed.

He had kindly offered Xiao Yunting time to recover, but Xiao Yunting showed no appreciation at all.

Not only did he not appreciate it, but he also showed him no Face.

He naturally wouldn’t tolerate it; both were arrogant and thought highly of themselves, so how could they endure such an insult?

“I’m telling you, you’re looking for death!”

After saying this, Dongfang You attacked without hesitation.

At this moment, Dongfang You’s entire Aura surged, vast power gathered in his arms, and his hands directly transformed into Dragon claws, emitting a sharp and terrifying Qi that seemed capable of tearing space apart.

“Nether Dragon Claw Hand!”

This was an extremely ancient Divine Ability, comprehended by an ancient powerhouse after observing a true Dragon.

If Cultivated to Great Perfection, the arms would be like true Dragon claws, incredibly sharp and invincible, capable of tearing apart everything.

No matter how powerful a divine weapon or terrifying a Physique, they would be like paper in front of the Nether Dragon Claw Hand.

Although Dongfang You had not Cultivated this Divine Ability to the Realm of Great Perfection, he still possessed a trace of the Dao rhyme of the Nether Dragon Claw Hand.

The Dragon Claw Hand struck out powerfully, claw shadows covering the sky and earth, as if it were a claw strike from an ancient true Dragon.

The vast Aura made everyone around feel a sense of suffocation.

“Hmph, mere child’s play!”

Xiao Yunting said with a calm expression.

However, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes; clearly, facing this Divine Ability of Dongfang You, he was not at ease either.

“Crimson Water Seal!”

Xiao Yunting formed hand seals, and vast, continuous power surged forth.

The entire sky seemed to be covered by an ocean, crystal clear and obscuring the sun, while also seemingly stirring up towering waves.

Finally, it formed a giant palm, and this palm was crystal clear, as if made of water.

The people around felt an incredibly strong pressure, making them gasp for breath.

Crimson Water Seal!

This was a Divine Ability Xiao Yunting had obtained during his recent training, found in the Immortal Cave of a powerful expert.

Its power was infinite and terrifying to the extreme!

With a boom!

The two great Divine Abilities collided, and terrifying power swept out in all directions, devastating everything.

It even activated the Restrictions around the arena; the light of the Restrictions emerged and collided with the aftermath of the two great Divine Abilities.

After a series of roars, the light of the Restrictions dimmed, looking precarious and on the verge of shattering at any moment.

“The strength of these two is quite good.”

An Elder smiled and nodded upon seeing this.

Then he waved his hand, as if injecting energy into the Restrictions; the originally precarious Restrictions instantly revived and completely blocked the power of the two great Divine Abilities.

Preventing their overflow and impact outside the arena.

“Is this fellow the Xiao Yunting His Highness the Saint has been talking about?”

“The opponent does have some skill, but it’s not enough to make His Highness the Saint talk about him so much!”

Hua Mengying watched from a pavilion, her gaze fixed on the arena, and as she saw the two exchange blows, her heart was filled with doubt.
