12: Sweeping all the way, we're number one in the competition!

"The competition begins."

Following the command of the attendant Disciple.

Zhou Kun dared not delay, immediately forming hand seals and muttering incantations.

"Blue Silver Grass Entanglement."

In an instant, countless blue vines, as thick as arms, burst forth from the hard bluestone arena, coiling madly towards Xiao Fan like venomous snakes.

This Spell focused on surprise attacks.

Once entangled, the poisonous thorns on the vines would inject into the opponent's body, paralyzing their spiritual energy and leaving them at the mercy of others.

Many Disciples below the stage gasped at the sight.

However, facing the overwhelming vines, Xiao Fan's face showed no fear.

He didn't even make a move to dodge.

He merely snorted coldly and took a step forward.

Boom.

A surging golden Qi and blood burst forth from his body.

A faint golden glow seemed to coat the surface of his body.

That masculine and domineering aura caused the soft vines to freeze.

Immediately after, he threw a punch.

Simple, direct, without any frills.

Where the punch wind passed, the air let out a bang.

Those tough blue vines, the moment they touched his fist, were easily crushed into countless fragments, like paper.

Zhou Kun's face changed drastically; before he could cast a second Spell, Xiao Fan's figure had already appeared before him.

A palm gently pressed against his chest.

Zhou Kun felt an irresistible force, and his entire body flew backward, crashing heavily off the arena.

One move, defeat the enemy.

The entire venue fell silent.

No one had expected that Xiao Fan, who was usually unremarkable and even obscure, possessed such formidable Physical Body strength.

On the high platform, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of several Elders.

Only Lu Yuan remained calm, his expression unruffled.

Originally, in the Inner Sect Grand Competition, Grand Elder's grandson, Jiang Xuan, could barely suppress Xiao Fan with his Qi Refining ninth-layer cultivation and the Formless Demonic Technique.

But now, Jiang Xuan was imprisoned.

Within the entire Inner Sect, no one could surpass Xiao Fan.

He swept through almost effortlessly.

Whether his opponent was a Spirit Cultivator skilled in Spells or a Sword Cultivator adept at Flying Swords, none could withstand his overwhelmingly powerful punch.

He won several more matches, finally facing a truly formidable opponent.

Qin Lie, ranked fifth among the Ten Inner Sect Prodigies.

This person wielded a crimson long saber Magical Artifact, and his Blazing Flame Saber Art had been Cultivated to a state of perfection.

"Xiao Fan, your Physical Body is indeed very strong," Qin Lie stood on the arena, his Battle Intent soaring. "However, this is as far as you go."

As his voice fell, his long saber vibrated, and streaks of scorching Saber Qi instantly enveloped the entire arena.

"Blazing Flame Triple Wave."

He slashed out with his saber, and three waves of flame Saber Qi, each higher than the last, sealed off all of Xiao Fan's escape routes.

This saber strike already possessed some of the might of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

Everyone below the stage held their breath.

Facing this killing blow, a hint of solemnity finally appeared on Xiao Fan's face.

He knew that relying solely on his Physical Body strength would likely be insufficient to resist.

He no longer held back, and the golden Qi and blood within his body circulated at an unprecedented speed.

Behind him, a strange phenomenon slowly emerged.

It was a Chaos Void Realm, where a green lotus was born from nothingness, swaying gently, as if carrying the supreme Dao rhyme of creation.

Sacred Body phenomenon, Chaos Seed Green Lotus.

Although it was just a blurry phantom, it still exuded a terrifying aura that could suppress all ages.

The green lotus phantom trembled slightly, and an invisible ripple spread out.

The three violent flame Saber Qi waves, upon contact with this ripple, seemed to encounter their nemesis, their power drastically reduced, ultimately vanishing into nothingness.

"What?" Qin Lie's face changed dramatically.

Xiao Fan seized the opportunity, his figure like lightning, instantly closing in.

He punched Qin Lie squarely in the chest.

The long saber in Qin Lie's hand flew out, and he himself was sent flying backward, defeated.

This battle completely established Xiao Fan's status as the dark horse of this Grand Competition.

Soon, the Inner Sect Grand Competition reached its final battle.

Xiao Fan's opponent was Liu Tianhao, the second-ranked powerhouse among the Ten Inner Sect Prodigies.

Liu Tianhao was burly with a rugged face.

As he walked onto the arena, each step caused the hard bluestone ground to emit a dull rumble.

"Xiao Fan, your Physical Body is very strong," Liu Tianhao's voice was muffled. "Coincidentally, I also primarily Cultivate the Physical Body. Let's see whose fist is harder."

As his voice fell, he let out a low roar and activated his Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

"Vajra Glazed Body."

In an instant, a layer of golden light seeped out from beneath his skin. His body seemed to transform into a Vajra Arhat cast from golden Liuli, solemn and dignified, filled with an indestructible sense of power.

The arena beneath his feet even developed cracks from the immense power it couldn't withstand.

Xiao Fan looked at Liu Tianhao, a hint of Battle Intent flashing in his eyes.

He could feel that the opponent's Physical Body was indeed formidable.

Although far inferior to his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, it was enough to pose some threat to ordinary second-tier Yao Beasts.

The two said no more and charged towards each other simultaneously.

Bang!

The dull thud of fist meeting flesh continuously echoed across the arena.

The two collided in the most primitive and savage manner.

Xiao Fan's always advantageous golden Qi and blood surprisingly didn't gain much of an upper hand this time.

Liu Tianhao's Vajra Glazed Body had astonishing defensive power, barely able to withstand his fist force.

"How exhilarating!" Liu Tianhao laughed loudly, his offensive becoming even more ferocious.

Xiao Fan snorted coldly, deciding to hold nothing back.

"You are worthy of me going all out!"

He took a deep breath, and the magical power and Qi and blood within his body converged on his right fist in a special way.

"Great Sun Vajra Fist."

This was a supreme fist technique taught to him by his Revered Master, Venerable Yao. Its power was immense, but each time it was used, the burden on the Physical Body was also quite substantial.

A scorching aura emanated from his fist.

One of his exotic flames, the Glazed Golden Flame, was also quietly activated by him at this moment.

Golden flames covered his entire right arm.

He punched out.

Vaguely, everyone seemed to see the phantom of a divine Golden Crow flash past behind his fist.

This punch seemed to transform into a true small sun.

Liu Tianhao's face changed dramatically. He pushed his Vajra Glazed Body to its limit, crossing his arms to block in front of him.

Boom.

The golden fist and the Liuli-like body collided fiercely.

Crack.

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

Liu Tianhao's indestructible Vajra Glazed Body was actually directly blasted with cracks by this punch.

He was severely injured, flying backward and falling off the arena.

The victor was decided.
