The most outstanding genius of this era!

"Lin Xiao is truly extraordinary!"

This was the voice of a Martial King. His eyes were grave at this moment, for he vaguely sensed a familiar feeling from Lin Xiao!

Although he was the Dragon Martial University's team leader for this event, he had also been on the battlefield before.

In his memories, he was fortunate enough to have seen that esteemed individual make a move and had heard some of his glorious history.

At this moment, he actually saw a glimmer of that person in Lin Xiao, which made him quite surprised and suspicious.

Could Lin Xiao be related to that esteemed individual?

They even shared the same surname, but Lin Xiao's identity was not problematic!

"Zhuge Kongming, I didn't expect them to be willing to let him out!"

The Martial King from Dawn University spoke, looking at a graceful young man somewhere in the arena. He seemed to have thought of something and became a little emotional!

"Interesting, truly interesting! It seems this year's Freshman Competition will be the most spectacular one in history!"

These Martial Kings from various top universities stood in the Void Realm, each with anticipation on their faces, and also strong confidence in their own contestants!

Online, this was the most popular live stream across the entire network!

The number of online viewers had already exceeded 100 million, and the server almost crashed!

The live stream's bullet comments were flying everywhere, and there were also continuous gifts from some wealthy patrons, with effects even blocking the screen!

Upon closer inspection, it was all a struggle between various fan factions, and the intensity was no less than the arena battles on site!

In fact, in terms of scale, it had already surpassed them!

"Overlord will win!"

"Lin Xiao is the best!"

"The Newcomer King belongs to Qin Li!"

Currently, the popular candidates for the Newcomer King were still these three. As for Ji Xiangnan, he actually had quite a few fans, but he had once fought Lin Xiao and lost!

Coupled with the video of the National College Entrance Examination that had been widely circulated online, his fans' confidence was not very strong.

But he was already among the forefront of existences!

He was a powerful Prodigy recognized by the public!

Today's individual competition was about to end.

The list of the top thirty-two contestants had been released, and the final round would be held tomorrow!

"I'm really looking forward to it. Today's competition was already so intense, how explosive will tomorrow be!"

"Ahhh! I want to go to the venue. Are there any scalpers who can get me a ticket? I'll pay a high price!"

Many people watching the competition online were burning with excitement, wanting to go to the venue to watch the finals!

The few remaining tickets in the hands of scalpers were instantly driven up to an extremely expensive price, which ordinary people might not be able to afford in their lifetime!

Time flew by quickly.

Night fell, and many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep, wishing for time to pass quickly!

The next day, before the contestants even entered, the audience seats were already full.

Lin Xiao walked to the waiting area, where he was still the only one, empty and somewhat lonely!

"The final round of the individual competition now begins!"

"This round of finals will be based on the contestants' previous round's results for drawing lots, with the winner receiving one point and the loser receiving no points! The final ranking of this Freshman Competition's individual event will be determined by the points!"

"Now, please welcome the top thirty-two contestants to the arena! The first round of draw-based matchups will begin soon!"

Lin Xiao saw his opponent.

It was a man named Xia Qing, ranked twenty-eighth.

"Please, contestants Lin Xiao and Xia Qing, step onto the stage!"

"Swish!"

Lin Xiao's figure instantly appeared on the stage.

This single action alone drew countless cheers and shouts of joy.

"Damn, so cool!"

This teleportation move made many people envious!

Lin Xiao's opponent in this round was also not weak. He was a freshman at the Peak of the Late Stage of the Fourth Order, who had Awakened an S-rank ability—Azure Nether Lightning.

Another lightning ability user!

Xia Qing looked at his opponent for this round, his expression extremely solemn. Only by truly facing him did he realize how powerful such a Peerless Prodigy truly was!

At this moment, he had a lot to say!

Because he had already felt that incredibly terrifying oppressive force; just standing there, countless pressures were already rushing towards him!

"The match begins!"

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Lin Xiao stood still, still not making the first move. He was waiting for his opponent to strike first!

"Never mind!"

"Azure Nether Lightning!"

Xia Qing couldn't care less now; the arrow was on the string, and it had to be fired!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning struck. Lightning is the most powerful offensive ability in the world, and lightning ability Awakened Ones are also called absolute main damage dealers by many!

At this moment, Xia Qing was demonstrating the true value of a lightning ability Awakened One.

The entire arena was covered by his ability; azure lightning materialized on the scene, containing astonishing offensive power!

Xia Qing had pushed the ability within his body to its limit. This was an all-out effort from the start, aiming to decide the outcome with one move!

Lin Xiao nodded.

"As expected of a top thirty-two contestant in the Freshman Competition, none of them are weak!"

According to his estimation, the extent of this attack far exceeded the Fourth Order, having already reached the Fifth Order level.

Indeed, there are no weaklings among those who can get into top universities!

Out of respect, he decided to exert a little bit of his strength.

"Blade of Nothingness!"

Above his head, a rift shattered into existence, and countless fragments of the Void Realm formed an extremely sharp invisible blade.

This invisible blade was filled with terrifying fluctuations; it could truly cleave space apart!

"Come on!"

"Go!"

The two attacks clashed together in the eyes of the crowd, and a huge explosion instantly erupted on the scene!

Countless people exclaimed in surprise. This was Lin Xiao's first offensive move so far, and it seemed this opponent was also very extraordinary!

The two attacks briefly confronted each other for a second.

Then, in everyone's gaze, the invisible blade, radiating terrifying fluctuations and capable of cleaving space, directly split the Azure Nether Lightning in half!

The lightning was actually split in half!

At the same time, it also cleaved towards its owner, Xia Qing, at a speed that gave the opponent no time to react.

It directly traversed the space there and appeared above Xia Qing's head, about to strike down!

"It's over! I'm going to die!"

This was Xia Qing's most direct feeling deep in his heart. The fluctuations from above his head were like the God of Death swinging his blade at him, telling him his time on earth was over and it was time to go with him!

How could he block it? He couldn't!

He couldn't block it, absolutely couldn't!

He had already closed his eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

"Hey, hey, hey! Aren't you going to concede? Are you really waiting for this blade of mine to strike down?"

Suddenly, a young man's voice came from outside, which startled him awake.

Looking at the young man who appeared before his eyes, that slightly youthful voice, yet filled with domineering words, made him yearn a little!

Is this the Peerless Prodigy of this era?

"I... concede!"
