59: The collision of the true essence realm!

Tang Yishuang and Jin Wenyang were both True Essence Realm Disciples. They stood facing each other from a distance, their Auras continuously clashing.

Although their Realms were the same, there was a clear disparity in their strength.

Tang Yishuang had achieved the True Essence Realm long ago. Although she was still in the Early Stage of the True Essence Realm, she had accumulated a lot of experience at this stage.

However, Jin Wenyang had only recently achieved a Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm a few days ago. Not only had he not yet stabilized his Realm, but he had not even fully grasped the High Grade martial art, Pine Crane Longevity Skill - Return to Origin Chapter. It was truly disadvantageous for him to face Tang Yishuang now.

Even so, Jin Wenyang did not flinch in the slightest: "Senior Sister Tang, I have long wanted to seek your guidance. I hope you will not hesitate to teach me."

Jin Wenyang's Aura erupted, and he charged towards Tang Yishuang.

His longsword was unsheathed, and streaks of Sword Light intertwined.

The martial Dao True Essence within both their bodies surged wildly, and streaks of violent Sword Qi slashed towards each other.

The two Elders seated on the high platform also straightened their bodies slightly, staring intently at the two on the arena, ready to intervene at any time.

True Essence Realm powerhouses were not to be trifled with. Even Wang Huan and Puyang Changqing, the two Elders, were only at the Peak of the True Essence Realm, and they were powerhouses of the same grand Realm as Tang Yishuang and Jin Wenyang.

If Tang Yishuang and Jin Wenyang made a mistake during their exchange, or if their Moves affected nearby spectators, only a few True Essence Realm individuals present would be capable of intervening.

Wang Huan glanced at Li Qi and thought of Li Qi's exceptional lightness skill. If Tang Yishuang and Jin Wenyang's exchange spiraled out of control, Li Qi could also intervene in time with his incredible lightness skill.

Regardless of whether they were True Essence Realm powerhouses or ordinary Disciples, everyone watched the two combatants in the arena with rapt attention, especially the ordinary Disciples, who couldn't even bear to blink.

The exchange between True Essence Realm powerhouses was a rare sight.

If one could comprehend the principles of their exchange and learn a bit of its essence, it would be infinitely beneficial!

Tang Yishuang wore a moon-white long dress, her figure elegant and agile, like a white cloud that had fallen to the mortal world.

Jin Wenyang, on the other hand, wore a grey long robe, like a turbulent storm, continuously assailing Tang Yishuang.

Crane Dance Nine Heavens!

Jin Wenyang's body shot up from the ground, like a white crane soaring into the clouds, its wings spread as it circled high in the sky. His longsword danced, the sword following his body as he attacked from mid-air!

This was a killing Move from the Pine Crane Longevity Skill - Return to Origin Chapter. Only after truly stepping into the True Essence Realm could one fully unleash the power of this Move.

Facing Jin Wenyang's fierce assault, Tang Yishuang remained calm and composed.

She slashed out streaks of Sword Qi, sending them towards Jin Wenyang. Jin Wenyang attacked from the air, either dodging or parrying with his sword. Although he fended off Tang Yishuang's Sword Qi, his Aura had unconsciously diminished by two-tenths, and he had also lost a hint of sharpness.

Taking advantage of Jin Wenyang's slight weakening, Tang Yishuang slashed at Jin Wenyang with her sword. Their longswords met, and a strange sticky force deflected Jin Wenyang's incoming slash to the side, easily neutralizing his attack.

With no result from the attack, Jin Wenyang was not discouraged and continued to attack Tang Yishuang relentlessly.

Although he used all his techniques, he had, after all, only broken through to the True Essence Realm for too short a time and lacked some experience. Not only were his attacks repeatedly ineffective, but he also consumed a considerable amount of his True Essence.

After dozens of exchanges, Jin Wenyang felt a hint of fatigue.

The Disciples watching from the stands were excited by the exchange between Tang Yishuang and Jin Wenyang, with some of the spectacular moments drawing continuous cheers and shouts of enjoyment. Only a small portion of them truly saw the real trend of this match.

"Jin Wenyang is about to lose," Huangfu Ji said slowly, standing nearby.

He looked at the two combatants, his eyes flickering: "Within seven Moves, the victor will be decided."

Li Qi did not say much, agreeing with Huangfu Ji's assessment.

And the facts did not deviate from Huangfu Ji's prediction. After two more Moves, Tang Yishuang seized a flaw where Jin Wenyang's momentum was difficult to sustain. Her sword danced continuously, its sharp edge repeatedly stabbing at various vital points on Jin Wenyang's body.

Once she seized an opportunity, Tang Yishuang completely changed her fighting style, displaying a ferocity unbefitting a woman, relentlessly pressuring Jin Wenyang with fierce attacks.

Jin Wenyang continuously retreated, and the gap in their strength further widened!

At this moment, the two Elders on the high platform had already gripped the armrests of their chairs, and Huangfu Ji's body also leaned slightly forward, ready to intervene at any time.

Tang Yishuang and Jin Wenyang were about to decide the victor. If Tang Yishuang failed to hold back at the last moment, Jin Wenyang might be injured!

This was also the most dangerous moment of the entire match, and several True Essence Realm powerhouses were already prepared to intervene.

However, the anticipated situation did not occur.

The moment Tang Yishuang's sword split open Jin Wenyang's sword circle, her sword's edge hovered an inch from Jin Wenyang's throat.

The outcome was already clear.

A wry smile also appeared on Jin Wenyang's lips: "I am not skilled enough; Senior Sister Tang has won."

A beautiful smile also appeared on Tang Yishuang's face as she slowly retracted her longsword: "I barely managed to win. Junior Brother still needs to Cultivate diligently in the future."

After exchanging a few polite words, both parties left the arena, and the several True Essence Realm powerhouses who had been tense beside them also breathed a sigh of relief.

The exchange between the two True Essence Realm Disciples came to an end. In the end, Tang Yishuang was victorious.

This result excited the surrounding Disciples.

"As expected, Senior Sister Tang won this match!"

"Although Senior Brother Jin Wenyang lost, his strength is also very strong. He could beat ten people like me!"

"I really envy them. I also want to become a True Essence Realm powerhouse!"

"Cultivate hard; that day will come."

"One day, I will also be able to become the Chief Disciple!"

"Now there are only three True Essence Realm powerhouses left in the arena. Who do you think will become this year's Chief?"

"Do you even need to ask? It's definitely Senior Brother Huangfu Ji!"

"I actually favor Senior Brother Li Qi more. After all, he's a Genius who has already comprehended Sword Qi Materialization!"

The Disciples discussed animatedly. The recent exchange between True Essence Realm powerhouses had greatly stimulated them, and they were all extremely excited.

...

The matches continued, and as the number of remaining Disciples dwindled, the speed of completing each round also increased.

Some Disciples repeatedly encountered strong opponents, their True Qi constantly being consumed, and their injuries accumulating, eventually forcing them to withdraw.

Meanwhile, some Disciples met opponents much weaker than themselves, winning several rounds easily without much effort and surprisingly advancing to the top eight!

When the matches reached the fifth round, two very important figures finally clashed.

"Number 35, Huangfu Ji, will fight Number 143, Li Qi!"

At these words, the entire arena fell silent.

The final battle had not yet arrived, but Li Qi and Huangfu Ji, the two seeded players, had already met!
