533: Chapter 533 Cangyuan's Shock!!

His finger pointed to the other side of the arena, where a figure stood quietly.

"And his opponent is—"

Dashing paused, his voice rising.

"Taixuan Holy Land Special Grade Disciple—Qin Yan!"

As Dashing made the introduction, the audience below suddenly erupted into a frenzy!

"A Special Grade Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land? For real?"

"A Special Grade Disciple? That's a one-in-a-trillion existence!"

"I didn't expect this Qin Yan to be a Special Grade Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land. I'm betting on his victory!"

"Idiot!"

A rugged man nearby sneered.

"Can't you see how low his Realm is? He's at the fifth rank late stage, he hasn't even reached the Fifth Grade Peak!"

"Betting on him? You have too much money and nowhere to spend it? Why not give some to me?"

"Tsk, a fifth rank late stage dares to step onto the stage? Isn't he just delivering himself on a silver platter?"

"I bet he won't last ten moves!"

"I'm betting on Cang Yuan! He's a powerhouse with an eight-fight winning streak!"

"I'm betting on Cang Yuan too!"

Discussions broke out across the spectator stands.

Some were optimistic about Qin Yan, but many more were not.

After all, Qin Yan's cultivation was right there—fifth rank late stage.

Meanwhile, Cang Yuan was at the Fifth Grade Peak and had already secured eight consecutive wins.

Comparing the two, the winner seemed obvious.

At this moment, Qin Yan's odds had reached 2.38!

This meant that if Qin Yan won, those who bet on him would receive a 2.38-fold return!

Despite this, most of the young people in the stands still bet their resources on Cang Yuan.

After all, Cang Yuan had easily achieved an eight-fight winning streak; his strength was obvious to all.

Moreover, his Realm was higher than Qin Yan's, and his experience was richer. Naturally, his chances of winning were much higher!

On the betting pillars, the side representing Cang Yuan flashed incessantly as resources poured in like a tide.

Meanwhile, Qin Yan's side had only a few scattered lights, looking quite desolate.

Soon, fifteen minutes passed.

This quarter of an hour was reserved for the challenger to rest and adjust their breathing.

Cang Yuan had already been in the arena for fifteen minutes and had finished meditating; his state had returned to its Peak.

Qin Yan looked at Cang Yuan opposite him, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.

He saw that Cang Yuan's figure was slender and athletic, his entire body covered in fine, pale blue scales.

His hands had webbing between the fingers, a characteristic of the Sharkman Race for swimming in water.

His fingers were long and powerful, currently gripping a trident.

The trident was a deep, ghostly blue, with complex patterns engraved on the shaft, and a faint flow of water circulating through it.

A powerful aura radiated from his entire body!

That aura was deep and violent, like an ancient Vicious Beast lurking in the deep sea, capable of erupting with world-destroying power at any moment!

"Let the match begin!"

High in the air, the Grand Commander spoke, his voice echoing throughout the arena.

It signaled the official start of this highly anticipated match!

Cang Yuan looked at Qin Yan with a face full of disdain!

In those deep blue eyes, there was nothing but contempt and arrogance.

"It seems my luck is quite good, encountering such a weak challenger!"

His voice was low and raspy, tinged with mockery.

"It looks like I have a good chance of getting my tenth win today and claiming the mystery grand prize!"

In the Tiangang Arena, as long as a challenger participates and wins, they receive some tiangang points.

Winning one match gives some, winning two accumulates more, and winning three gives even more.

This was one of the reasons why there was a constant stream of challengers for the Tiangang Arena matches!

Where there is profit, people will naturally come.

Furthermore, if a challenger can achieve a ten-fight winning streak, they receive a mystery grand prize!

The prize is, at the very least, a reward one grade higher than the Martial Artist's level!

For example, for a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist, the reward would be at least at the sixth-rank level.

To them, this was of great benefit!

Cang Yuan had already won eight matches; two more wins would make it a ten-fight streak.

In his eyes, this fifth rank late stage fellow was just a ninth victory delivered to his doorstep.

Qin Yan saw the disdain in Cang Yuan's eyes and knew he was being underestimated again!

However, he was actually happy to see this.

The more the opponent looked down on him, the easier it would be for them to reveal an opening.

He had seen this kind of mentality many times before.

Qin Yan didn't waste words; he took a step and his figure instantly charged toward the opponent!

During the charge, strands of blood qi surged frantically across his body!

They poured out from every pore of his body, instantly spreading in all directions!

In the blink of an eye, the blood qi enveloped the entire arena and surrounded Cang Yuan's figure!

Blood Mist Domain, activated immediately!

Inside the Domain, Cang Yuan immediately felt the blood qi throughout his body being suppressed!

An invisible force surged from all sides, invading his body and suppressing the circulation of his blood qi.

His power was weakening, his speed was slowing down, and his reactions were becoming sluggish!

Not good!

Cang Yuan's expression changed, and alarm bells rang in his heart!

He hadn't expected that this fellow, who looked to have a low Realm, actually possessed a Domain!

Anyone who could possess a Domain was definitely not simple!

The patterns on the Surging Wave Halberd in his hand instantly lit up, emitting a sharp light!

Surging Wave Halberd Intent wrapped around the Surging Wave Halberd!

It was a sharp and overbearing power, as if it could kick up towering waves and swallow everything!

Holding the halberd with both hands, he spun around and met Qin Yan's attack head-on!

A blue light condensed on the tip of the halberd, carrying power like crashing waves as it stabbed straight at Qin Yan!

"Clang!"

The spear and halberd collided, producing a deafening roar!

Sparks flew in all directions, and a shockwave spread frantically, kicking up a gale!

Cang Yuan suddenly felt a sense of annihilation flooding into his body through the shaft of the halberd!

That power was pitch black as ink, carrying a Concept of all things returning to silence, violently striking his Meridians and eroding his True Qi!

His Surging Wave Halberd Intent was suppressed!

Immediately after, his body was sent flying backward!

He landed heavily within the arena and retreated several steps in a row, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground before he finally stopped!

"Pfft—!"

Following that, he spat out a mouthful of blood!

The blood splattered on the ground, a shocking sight!

He looked at Qin Yan, his eyes full of fear!

A Domain! Third-Grade Spear Intent!

This Qin Yan is terrifying!

His own Surging Wave Halberd Intent was only at the fourth grade.

Don't be fooled by the fact that fourth grade and third grade are only one grade apart; the boost to blood qi was a full 0.4 times less!

Add to that the fact that ten percent of his blood qi was suppressed by the opponent's Domain—with one side gaining and the other losing, even though his Realm was much higher, his Blood Burst was deathly suppressed by the opponent!

"Is this the foundation of a Taixuan Holy Land Special Grade Disciple!"

Cang Yuan was shocked to his core.

He had originally thought that with his strength, he was considered top-tier among Fifth-Rank Martial Artists.

His record of eight consecutive wins was enough to prove his strength.

But now he realized that there is always someone better.

This fifth rank late stage young man before him was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

In the brief moment of his realization, Qin Yan's attacks came one after another!

Spear after spear was thrust out!

Like a violent storm, relentless and unending!

Upon the long spear, Taibai Sharp Gold True Qi and Taiyi Everlasting Qi condensed!

The golden sharpness intertwined with the green vitality, ensuring every thrust carried sharp killing intent and surging power!
