313: Physical confrontation

Amidst the attention and chaotic discussions of the crowd, the two in the center of the arena seemed deaf to everything around them.

Their eyes met, and electricity seemed to spark in the Void Realm!

"Wang Zhan."

Xiao Ruobai spoke, his voice calm, yet carrying a resonance like the clash of gold and iron.

Xiao Ruobai lifted his gaze to look at Wang Zhan, whose Aura was at its zenith, his whole body surging with azure blood-Qi like a boiling ocean. He spoke faintly, his voice clearly reaching the silent battlefield:

"You have just fought a battle, your blood-Qi is depleted."

He paused, his tone devoid of any ripples, as if stating a simple fact.

"I will give you time to recover to your Peak."

"..."

Silence! A deathly silence!

Everyone was so shocked by these words that their scalps went numb!

Arrogant! Too arrogant!

Facing Wang Zhan, who had just awakened his Heavenly Azure Sacred Body, crushed the Kirin Son with one punch, and whose Aura was at its most Peak and overbearing state, Battle Asura not only did not prepare for battle, but actually told his opponent to recover first?

This was no longer simple confidence; it was a calmness that came from the bones, a look of condescension!

However, only Xiao Ruobai knew in his heart that this was not arrogance.

Because in his eyes, the pressure of this Heavenly Azure Sacred Body that made all spirits tremble, and this boundless kingly Aura, was just so-so.

After all, the opponents he fought every day in the Tower of the Prodigy on Zizhu Peak...

...were the phantoms of young Great Emperors who rose in different eras, swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and displayed invincible stances in their youth!

Which of those existences was not invincible in their generation?

Whose might was not greater than the current Wang Zhan? Whose methods were not more bizarre and powerful than the Kirin forbidden arts?

Compared to those true young Great Emperors, the power of the Sacred Body that shocked the entire arena today was, in Xiao Ruobai's eyes, merely a pressure he had long grown accustomed to in his daily Cultivate, which could even be called "ordinary."

His combat instinct, his will, and his vision had long been tempered to a height unimaginable to ordinary people through cruel battles with young Great Emperors time and time again.

Wang Zhan was strong, and although his Realm was one level higher than his, it was far from enough to make Xiao Ruobai feel surprised or pressured.

These words were like a boulder crashing into an ice sheet, instantly stirring up a thousand waves!

"He... what did he say? Let Wang Zhan recover?"

"My God! What kind of confidence is this!!"

"Can't he feel how terrifying Wang Zhan is right now?!"

"He's crazy! He's truly crazy!"

Hearing this, a trace of genuine astonishment flashed through Wang Zhan's azure eyes, immediately replaced by an anger at being slighted.

But more than that, it was a more burning Battle Intent ignited by his opponent's "arrogance"!

He wanted to crush the other's confidence with the most powerful stance!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Wang Zhan laughed instead of getting angry, saying "good" three times, his voice shaking the Nine Heavens!

"Battle Asura! You truly did not disappoint me! This spirit is worthy of me fighting with all my might!"

He said no more and actually closed his eyes right there on the spot.

The boiling azure blood-Qi around his body did not subside, but instead circulated in an even more violent manner, crazily devouring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The slight depletion caused by his previous fight with Mo Yu was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his Aura became more harmonious and unfathomable!

And Xiao Ruobai stood quietly in place, hands behind his back, like a patient hunter waiting for his prey to adjust to its best state.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the spectators.

Above the Nine Heavens, Wang Zhans Father, that middle-aged man in black robes, heard Xiao Ruobai's words and was stunned at first, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth without any concealment.

"The ignorant are fearless."

He shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a condescending commentary.

"Zhan'er just defeated his enemy with one punch, his Aura is like a rainbow, and his Sacred Body has just awakened; he needs a hearty victory to solidify his invincible Dao Heart! This child dares to be so arrogant as to let Zhan'er recover? Hmph, he is just seeking his own death, which happens to fulfill my son's achievement of an invincible reputation!"

He simply did not believe that a junior in the Heavenly Human Realm could pose any substantial threat to Wang Zhan, who had awakened his Sacred Body.

In his view, this was just a ridiculous trick played by the weak to save face.

When Wang Zhan's blood-Qi fully recovered to Perfection, and even faintly exceeded his Peak, he suddenly opened his eyes, and azure light exploded forth, like the moment two blue suns rose.

Xiao Ruobai finally moved his eyelids, his tone still as chillingly calm as before:

"Are you ready?"

Wang Zhan's Battle Intent soared to the sky, his voice shaking the universe: "Come and fight!"

"As you wish."

Xiao Ruobai took a step forward, and the calm-as-an-abyss Aura around his body suddenly erupted, and dark golden blood-Qi smoke shot into the sky!

He no longer held anything back, for the first time pushing the power of his War God Body to its current limit!

"Boom——!!!"

The two collided violently like two meteorites!

There was no brilliance of Divine Ability, no entanglement of Law, only the most pure and primitive clash of power!

Wang Zhan threw a punch, azure blood-Qi wrapping around his fist, the punch mark simple and ancient, yet as if carrying the power of an entire blue sky, heavy, majestic, crushing everything!

Wherever it passed, the air was compressed to the extreme, emitting a muffled sonic boom!

Xiao Ruobai did not dodge or evade, and met it with a punch of his own!

The dark golden fist seemed to be cast from immortal fairy gold, the punch fierce and unyielding, containing the War God will to break through all shackles and overturn the universe!

"Dong!!!!!"

When their fists met, a sound like a great bell tolling erupted!

Centered on where their fists met, a visible circular shockwave exploded, sweeping in all directions!

The ground seemed to have been plowed by an invisible giant plow, the soil overturned, and gravel flew!

Both of them were shaken violently, sliding back more than ten feet simultaneously, carving deep trenches into the ground with their feet!

An even match!

A flash of azure light passed through Wang Zhan's eyes, and he felt a slight chill in his heart: "Such a hard fist! To be able to withstand a blow from my Heavenly Azure Sacred Body without damage?"

He put away the last trace of potential contempt brought by their difference in Realm, and truly regarded Xiao Ruobai as a formidable enemy who must be dealt with with all his might.

Xiao Ruobai shook his slightly numb fist, but the fire of battle in his eyes burned even more intensely.

"Heavenly Azure Sacred Body, it lives up to its name! This power is just what I wanted!"

He could feel that under this pressure, the speed of the blood-Qi flowing in his body had quickened by thirty percent, and his silent Physical Body was eager for battle.

"Kill!"

With almost no pause, the two erupted again, turning into two streams of light—one azure and one dark gold—and collided fiercely!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The sound of collisions instantly became as dense as rain!

The two fought from the ground to mid-air, their figures as fast as ghosts, every clash erupting with deafening roars, and terrifying power fluctuations raging wantonly!

Wang Zhan's palm prints were like mountains, constantly striking down, wanting to suppress his opponent with the power of the blue sky.

Xiao Ruobai used fists or palms, fingers or knees; his whole body could be a weapon, bringing the close-combat techniques of the War God Body to the extreme, his Moves tricky and fierce, often launching attacks from unbelievable angles.

For a time, fist shadows filled the sky, palm winds whistled, and blood-Qi surged like the sea!

Wang Zhan swept out a leg, like a heavenly pillar collapsing, bringing with it a shrill whistling sound!

Xiao Ruobai tilted his body slightly, meeting it with his elbow, dark golden blood-Qi concentrated at one point!

"Bang!" The energy exploded, Xiao Ruobai was shaken and flipped in the air, but took the opportunity to lash out with a whip kick toward Wang Zhan's head, extremely fierce!

Wang Zhan snorted, raised his arm to block, azure runes flashing on his arm, forcibly withstanding this kick, his figure also swaying!

Both of them fought fast with fast, hard with hard, their combat styles domineering, stunning all the spectators.

"Too fast! We can't see their movements at all!"

Some Cultivator had their eyes wide open, even with their Divine Sense fully operational, it was difficult to capture all the details.

"This is the true battle of Prodigy! No frills, all ultimate applications of power!"

An old-generation Cultivator exclaimed, feeling inferior.
