207: We will meet again

Xu Zheng had already gone all out at this point; he was surprised that he couldn't defeat Xia Qi.

One must know that even though Xia Qi had reached level thirty, he hadn't undergone his second Awakening.

If Xia Qi were to complete his second Awakening, he probably wouldn't be his opponent.

Although it seemed like bullying, reality was just like that.

This match was equally important to Xu Zheng.

For him, this was not just a match, but also an opportunity to prove himself.

He would not give up, nor could he give up.

"You are indeed very strong, much stronger than my previous opponents."

"However, this is not enough!"

Around Xia Qi, frost gradually appeared.

He also needed to be a bit more serious; this was also a sign of respect for his opponent.

"What exactly is Xia Qi's talent?"

Tu Yuanshan asked.

"Hahaha, I'm not sure either, he should be a natural Awakener."

"His father is, and he is, so it's not surprising."

"It's just unclear what kind of talent this kid possesses."

...

In the stands, everyone watched the confrontation between the two.

What was originally a team match had been turned into a solo match by these two.

Around Xia Qi, a gentle breeze stirred.

The frost, together with this breeze, transformed into countless frost blades, blowing towards Xu Zheng.

Winter!

A powerful force of extreme cold enveloped Xu Zheng, and the Qi around Xu Zheng's body actually fluctuated.

As Winter continued to spread, the surrounding environment was altered.

The arena where the two were located had now completely transformed into a different scene.

Frost was everywhere, and ice shards grew from the ground.

Xia Qi looked at Xu Zheng; the Qi fluctuations around Xu Zheng's body were now weaker than before.

However, it was not enough to make it dissipate.

"It's truly surprising, your methods."

Xu Zheng hadn't expected to be restrained by Xia Qi; he was usually the one doing that.

Winter was a new skill Xia Qi had comprehended.

It combined Wind element and ice element, allowing for both control and decent damage.

The fluctuating Qi around Xu Zheng's body was released from within, condensing into the shape of a tiger around Xu Zheng.

He reached out, and several waves of Qi were released.

These Qi waves dispersed, striking Xia Qi from multiple directions.

Xia Qi took a step, and an Elemental Flower rose from beneath his feet.

The sword in his hand now gathered a large amount of lightning.

With a swing of his sword, lightning flashed in all directions.

The Qi waves were instantly shattered by this lightning.

At the same time, Xu Zheng leaped high into the air.

In mid-air, he kicked towards Xia Qi's position.

A Qi wave rapidly rushed towards Xia Qi's position.

Xia Qi cut open this Qi wave with a sword, then swung out a fiery Sword Qi.

The fiery Sword Qi was extinguished by Xu Zheng's palm. A tiger claw formed from Qi grabbed towards Xia Qi.

Xia Qi cut it open with another sword, then flew in front of Xu Zheng.

The tiger on Xu Zheng's body rapidly grew larger at this moment.

It opened its large mouth, intending to swallow Xia Qi whole.

Xia Qi instantly conjured a fierce fire around his body, and the fire erupted, covering Xu Zheng.

In front of Xia Qi, a giant tiger with a gaping maw was shaken back by the fierce fire.

"Hmph!"

Just as Xia Qi was about to strike Xu Zheng with a sword, he let out a loud shout.

This shout was unleashed with Qi.

Even Xia Qi was momentarily stunned.

But it was only for that instant.

Seeing that Xu Zheng was about to counterattack, Xia Qi gathered a storm.

The storm enveloped both Xia Qi and Xu Zheng; now, if Xu Zheng wanted to leave, he had to deal with him first.

"It seems you intend to decide the outcome with me here!"

Xu Zheng looked at Xia Qi and said with a smile.

"No choice, it's been dragging on for too long!"

Continuing to drag it out would not benefit either party.

In this state, the audience couldn't see what was happening inside.

It was a way to save face for both sides.

"I'm going to start now!"

Xu Zheng's entire body erupted with Qi, enveloping himself within it.

His figure could no longer be seen; only a massive tiger could be seen glaring at Xia Qi.

Xia Qi was also prepared, the surrounding Elemental Power continuously surged.

Hundreds of Elemental Flowers, driven by Xia Qi, floated towards Xu Zheng.

A barrier enveloped the giant tiger's body.

The Elemental Flowers exploded the moment they touched the barrier.

At this moment, Xia Qi used Elemental Power to form a giant sword imbued with five elements.

He directly swung it at the barrier; within this storm, Xu Zheng had nowhere to hide.

The giant sword struck the barrier, and both instantly shattered.

In that instant, the giant tiger leaped out from the shattered energy.

At this moment, Xu Zheng was sitting atop the giant tiger.

The giant tiger carried an unstoppable Aura, making Xia Qi appear incredibly small before him.

Facing such a behemoth, Xia Qi remained very calm.

The sword in his hand emitted a series of sword hums.

This move should be Xu Zheng's strongest attack.

Since that was the case.

Lingxu Sword!

Xia Qi no longer held back, directly unleashing his strongest attack.

The five elements converged simultaneously at this moment, transforming into ten thousand swords, yet also like a single sword.

Slash!

The ten thousand swords merged into one, and in that instant, the two collided.

The other four people on the arena only felt their vision go black.

They couldn't see anything, nor could they hear anything.

In the stands, all the spectators were silent.

They were all waiting for the final result.

Ever since Xia Qi unleashed the storm, they couldn't see what was happening inside.

Outside, it was all ice and snow; they could only vaguely discern two figures within.

After the massive explosion just now, the storm was gradually weakening.

The figures of the two were no longer in the air.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Especially the three girls, who were constantly searching for Xia Qi's figure.

"Look!"

Someone spotted the two figures; there was still some frost present, making it unclear who it was.

"No wonder you could become the National Champion; it seems I'm still far behind."

He clearly understood that at the last moment, if Xia Qi hadn't held back, even if he had been saved, he wouldn't have fared well.

Xu Zheng let out a sigh of relief, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go, we lost!"

Having truly fought Xia Qi, he understood.

Even with that one sword just now, all five of them together wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

As Xu Zheng's words fell, the most excited people were the audience outside.

Xia Qi was strong; no one would deny that.

But no one had expected him to be so strong.

Despite a nine-level difference and not having undergone his second Awakening.

He not only defeated an opponent with a legendary profession, but his opponent also lost willingly and convinced.

Xia Qi watched them leave, and after the teleportation activated, all six disappeared from the arena.

"Xia Qi, we will meet again in the future."

These were Xu Zheng's final words.

And with Xu Zheng's strength, he would stand out in the resurrection match.

At that time, the two would have another chance to fight.

At least, that's what Xia Qi thought.
