524: Chapter 524 Shi Yong

Qin Yan looked over and found he couldn't see through the Realms of these Martial Artists!

This meant their Realms were higher than his, at least at Fifth Grade Peak.

Their auras were deep and powerful, clearly battle-hardened veterans.

But when he felt the blood qi burst of these Martial Artists, Qin Yan's mind was put at ease.

Their blood qi bursts were just so-so.

Although their Realms were high, their blood qi bursts weren't strong.

With his current strength, dealing with such opponents was more than enough.

"We're here. This is where the Fifth-Rank Arena arranges assessments. Follow me."

After saying that, Sun Cheng led Qin Yan forward and soon arrived beside a young man.

The young man had a burly build, broad shoulders, a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, with a sharp aura radiating from him.

He was bare-chested, revealing bronze skin and solid muscles, with scars crisscrossing his body—marks left by countless battles.

"Shi Yong, come over here."

Sun Cheng beckoned to the young man.

The young man—Shi Yong—heard the call and walked over quickly.

He respectfully cupped his fists to Sun Cheng and said, "Deacon Sun Cheng."

Sun Cheng nodded, then turned to introduce him to Qin Yan: "This is Shi Yong. Among the Fifth-Rank Martial Artists in our arena, his strength is extremely formidable."

"He is one of the top ten experts among the Fifth-Rank Martial Artists in our arena."

"As long as you can defeat him, you will pass the test."

Qin Yan nodded upon hearing this and agreed.

Feeling Qin Yan's aura, Shi Yong's brows twitched slightly, discovering he was only at the fifth rank late stage.

fifth rank late stage could only be considered mid-level in the arena.

With such strength, he dared to challenge him?

"Does this man have something special about him?"

He didn't believe Deacon Sun Cheng would let someone far weaker than him challenge him.

He knew Deacon Sun Cheng too well; he always acted steadily and never did anything pointless.

Since he brought this person, this person must have something extraordinary.

"Alright, Deacon."

Shi Yong stopped overthinking and replied.

No matter what's special about the opponent, after the upcoming battle,

He would know. On the Fighting Arena, strength is the ultimate truth.

"Good."

Seeing both agree, Sun Cheng told them to prepare.

He stepped aside, standing with his hands behind his back, watching the two with interest.

Qin Yan and Shi Yong stood opposite each other, dozens of meters apart.

The Martial Artists fighting nearby saw this and stopped one after another, looking over curiously.

"Who is that? A newcomer?"

"Don't know, looks quite young."

"Daring to challenge Shi Yong, he's got guts."

"Wait and see the show."

Seeing the two ready, Sun Cheng raised his hand and then dropped it sharply, saying:

"The challenge begins!"

As Sun Cheng's voice fell, Shi Yong's blood qi burst instantly!

That blood qi was surging and majestic, like a volcanic eruption, instantly filling his whole body.

On his fist, golden True Qi flickered—it was metal-attribute True Qi, emitting a sharp golden light!

Then, he threw a punch!

A fist qi shot out from his fist, carrying a sharp edge, cutting through the air, heading straight for Qin Yan!

The air made a hissing explosive sound; it was the sound of the air being torn by the fist qi!

Seeing this, Qin Yan shook his head!

This punch had decent power, but that was all.

He raised his hands, and water and fire True Qi burst out simultaneously!

The deep blue Xuanming True Water and the crimson Nanming Li Fire intertwined in front of him.

"Condense!"

True Qi condensed into a water-fire shield in front of Qin Yan, with ice and fire intertwining on the shield, emitting an eerie light.

"Boom!"

When the fist qi touched the shield, it exploded instantly!

Golden fist qi splashed in all directions, but the shield only vibrated slightly, wearing down the force until it was gone, remaining unmoved.

Shi Yong's pupils shrank slightly.

Although he only used seventy percent of his strength for that punch, it was enough to defeat an ordinary fifth rank late stage.

The opponent actually blocked it so easily?

"Show your true strength; these tricks are no match for me!"

Qin Yan looked at Shi Yong opposite him and spoke calmly.

He didn't believe the Fifth-Rank experts of the Tiangang Arena would be this trashy.

If they were this trashy, the Tiangang Arena would be losing money every day!

Hearing Qin Yan's words, Shi Yong's expression froze.

He took a deep look at Qin Yan, knowing the opponent wasn't boasting.

The strike just now had already proven the opponent's strength.

"Fine, as you wish!"

Shi Yong said in a deep voice.

After saying that, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a massive axe appeared!

The axe was pitch black, its blade glinting with a cold light, and the body was covered in dense patterns—those were spirit weapon patterns, over thirty of them!

A spirit weapon with over thirty patterns was considered quite good among Fifth-Rank Martial Artists.

True Qi surged around Shi Yong, and the golden metal-attribute True Qi poured frantically into the axe, enveloping the entire axe in golden light.

Holding the axe in both hands, his figure flashed, turning into an afterimage as he attacked Qin Yan!

The speed was startlingly fast, a completely different person from before.

This was his true strength!

Feeling the surging blood qi from the opponent, Qin Yan couldn't help but nod!

This blood qi intensity was much stronger than Mu Qingfeng's.

Moreover, the golden True Qi faintly revealed fluctuations of the Physical Body's blood qi; clearly, the opponent was also someone who practiced Dual Cultivation of Body Refining and Qi Refining.

To be ranked in the top ten among the arena's Fifth-Rank Martial Artists, he indeed had some skill.

But compared to Ao Yuan's blood qi burst, it was still more than a notch below!

Ao Yuan's punch had reached a terrifying 1.6 million calories.

The Shi Yong before him posed no threat.

A flash of light appeared in Qin Yan's hand, and the Ink Abyss Spirit Spear appeared!

As soon as the pitch-black long spear appeared, it created a Bloodline-connected resonance with him.

On the long spear, the Five Elements light instantly flowed out!

Golden sharpness, green vitality, blue depth, red heat, and yellow heaviness—the five-colored lights intertwined, forming a brilliant barrier on the spear's body.

Five Elements Block, activated!

"Clang!"

The sound of the collision echoed across the plaza. Golden True Qi collided with the Five Elements light, erupting in brilliant light as the shockwave spread in all directions, kicking up a gale!

Shi Yong's expression changed.

His attack had inexplicably weakened by a large margin!

He had used almost all his strength for that axe strike.

But when it landed on the opponent's long spear, it felt like cutting into cotton, with the power being inexplicably diverted.

The remaining power wasn't enough to shake the opponent at all!

What was going on!

Seeing this, a smile curled on Qin Yan's lips.

"The match is over!"

As his voice fell, the Five Elements light on the long spear erupted fiercely!
