79: Another protagonist, intense battle.

The third stage Arena battles were held in the Core Disciple Practical Combat Zone.

Soon, after cutting through several opponents, Su Yun finally encountered an ordinary-looking young man.

"This is?"

"Another protagonist?"

[Name: Ning Feng]

[Age: 20]

[Realm: Golden Core Fifth Layer]

[Physique: Overlord Sacred Body (This Physique not only possesses extremely strong combat power, but more importantly, its recovery ability is also incredibly powerful.

Severe injuries will recover within a short period of time.

The only drawback is that it requires a significant amount of cultivation resources.)]

[Luck Rank: Purple]

[Background: Fiancé of Xie Yulan, the daughter of the Clan Chief of the cultivation Xie Family; disciple of the mysterious powerhouse Elder Yu.]

[Role: protagonist]

[Recent Turning Point: 1. Today, Ning Feng makes a stunning debut in the Taixuan Holy Land Core Disciple selection assessment, defeating all opponents to take first place and becoming a Personal Disciple of Misty Peak; his fiancée Xie Yulan's attitude towards him changes.

2. Today, after winning first place in the assessment, Ning Feng enters the Holy Land Treasury to select treasures and obtains an ancient Cultivation Technique.

3. In fifteen days, Ning Feng is provoked at the Xie Family and defeats the young clan members of the Xie Family with his Golden Core Sixth Layer cultivation.]

[Opportunity: Today, Ning Feng obtains the ancient Cultivation Technique "God Forging Art," which allows for the cultivation of spiritual consciousness, from a black stone on the thirty-second shelf of the first floor of the Holy Land Treasury.

This technique specifically refines spiritual consciousness. After cultivation, spiritual consciousness will condense into Divine Sense ahead of time; it also includes spiritual consciousness attack Spells.]

"System, follow him for me!"

[Ding, now following.]

..."The duel begins!"

The Taixuan Holy Land Deacon by the Arena announced.

"Golden Core Fourth Layer?"

"Watch me break you with one punch!"

"Sky Opening Punch!"

Ning Feng's figure flashed and appeared mid-air. White spiritual energy condensed in his hand, and a punch shadow dozens of feet large appeared.

Immediately, he swung his fist, and the punch shadow fell from the sky like a meteor, disrupting the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"It's over!"

After throwing the punch, Ning Feng flashed back to his original spot, withdrew his hand, and spoke indifferently.

Although it surprised him slightly that Su Yun, who was also in the Golden Core Realm, had the combat power of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He felt that Su Yun's strength was still far from his own.

He had already won this match.

Was Yulan watching him from below the Arena?

Thinking of this, Ning Feng glanced towards the side of the Arena.

"This is getting a bit challenging!"

"Fivefold Fire Control Art!"

A strong red spiritual light emanated from Su Yun's body, and hundreds of Glazed Sacred Fires emerged around him.

"Condense!"

The Glazed Sacred Fires all merged into one, turning into a giant sword dozens of feet long that flew towards the punch shadow.

This time, Su Yun's Glazed Sacred Fire did not contain tribulation lightning because the tribulation lightning had already condensed into Purple Heaven Spirit Thunder.

The tribulation lightning previously absorbed by the Glazed Sacred Fire had been extracted.

Boom!

The two collided, causing a violent explosion.

The powerful spiritual energy aftermath continuously spread outward until it hit the Spiritual Energy Barrier on the Arena and stopped.

A large amount of smoke instantly appeared on the Arena.

"Xiao Feng, don't be careless. That person blocked your attack!"

"Impossible!"

"Even the nascent soul second layer Cultivators I encountered before couldn't block this move!"

Ning Feng's expression changed slightly as he turned his head to look at Su Yun's side. Sure enough, he was perfectly unharmed.

"It seems I need to get a bit serious!"

"Battle Heaven Hegemon Body!"

Ning Feng was enveloped by an illusory image of battle armor, which then fused with him.

"Take a punch from me!"

He turned directly into a white stream of light and charged at Su Yun.

"Good timing!"

"Heaven Refining Art!"

The Protective Spiritual Light on the surface of Su Yun's body merged into his physical form, and then he turned into a red light and collided with Ning Feng.

The two collided in the air.

Fists traded blows.

Hundreds of red punch shadows collided with hundreds of white punch shadows.

"As expected, fighting a protagonist is more exciting."

Su Yun fiercely threw out over a hundred punch shadows infused with Glazed Sacred Fire, reaching a stalemate with Ning Feng.

This protagonist's strength was indeed quite formidable; this was the second time Su Yun had encountered such a powerful opponent.

The last opponent that strong was Mu Wanning.

At this moment, more and more people were gathering below to watch the duel.

"Who do you think will win?"

"I don't know!"

"Where did these two prodigies come from?"

"To have such strong power at only the Golden Core Realm!"

Xie Yulan also arrived near the Arena at this time.

She had heard on the way that Ning Feng, at the Golden Core Fifth Layer, had defeated many Nascent Soul Realm opponents, and she found it somewhat hard to believe.

Seeing Ning Feng's attack now from below the Arena, she believed it instantly.

"Ning Feng actually has this much strength?"

"Did I underestimate him?"

A trace of an unusual light flashed in Xie Yulan's beautiful eyes, and her prejudice against Ning Feng lessened slightly.

Then, her gaze noticed the youth fighting Ning Feng.

"Eh? What a handsome youth!"

"Golden Core Fourth Layer, yet his strength is also this great?"

Xie Yulan suddenly froze for a moment, then looked at Ning Feng again as a terrifying thought occurred to her.

"Wait, something's wrong.

Why has Ning Feng behaved so submissively for several years at the Xie Family, not getting angry or fighting back even when being scolded and despised?

Years ago, after the Old Ancestor brought Ning Feng back, he instructed everyone that Ning Feng was my future husband, and then the Old Ancestor went into seclusion.

Initially, the people in the Family thought he was someone recognized by the Old Ancestor, so his talent definitely wouldn't be bad.

Therefore, they gave him many resources for cultivation.

Who would have thought that with the same resources, I have cultivated to the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer, while he has only reached the Golden Core Fifth Layer.

Usually, he wasn't ambitious and was too lazy to Cultivate, relying every day on the resources given by the Family to raise his Realm.

As for strength, Ning Feng also seemed very poor in everyone's eyes.

After all, Ning Feng was beaten up several times by young Xie Family members who were several Realms lower than him.

Why is he showing such strong power today?

Why didn't he show it before? At least he wouldn't have been despised and looked down upon by our Family members.

He doesn't have some strange personality, does he?

Does he like being despised?

Or is there some conspiracy to intentionally stay at our house?"

Thinking of this, the slight good impression Xie Yulan had just developed for Ning Feng vanished instantly.

It was replaced by deep vigilance towards Ning Feng.

She didn't like Ning Feng before, so she didn't pay much attention to him.

Because Ning Feng was always pestering her, she never gave him a good look.

Her parents also despised him very much.

Could Ning Feng already be harboring resentment and preparing to take revenge on her Family once he becomes powerful?

"It seems after the Old Ancestor comes out of seclusion, I need to talk to him again. I don't want to marry Ning Feng!"

After making up her mind, Xie Yulan no longer focused on Ning Feng and began observing the equally powerful Su Yun.

By now, Su Yun and Ning Feng had been fighting for fifty breaths.

The two were at a stalemate.

"Impossible!"

Ning Feng was somewhat surprised.

The Cultivation Technique he practiced had a Hegemon Body skill.

After the skill was performed, both the body's attack and defense would increase.

It was much more formidable than an average Body Tempering Cultivator.

However, after using it just now, he found it difficult to defeat Su Yun during the fight.

And he was clearly one Realm higher than Su Yun.

"I don't believe this!"

"Heaven-Breaking Spirit Strike!"

Ning Feng flashed away to create distance from Su Yun, and white spiritual energy gushed out from his body.

Hundreds of white spiritual lights appeared behind him.

Then they were instantly released.

The entire Arena was directly enveloped by white spiritual light.
