679: The terrifying gap

Su Ao's pupils contracted slightly. Was this the freaking Earth Immortal Realm?

He Qifeng's strength was at least in the top five, yet he was sent flying by a single punch?

"Brother, our Su Family branch has such a Prodigy?"

Su Lan's face was full of shock. She wasn't just shocked by Su Hao's strength, but more so by the fact that she hadn't seen through him, considering she was a bona fide Immortal Lord Cultivator.

How could she not see through an Earth Immortal kid?

Her expression turned solemn; she no longer dared to underestimate these two.

Su Xiao's battles were similar to Su Hao's, ending in the blink of an eye. No matter who the opponent was, their speed was about the same, finishing them off with a single punch.

The crowd was becoming numb with shock.

This... was truly too monstrous.

Soon.

The quarter-finals began. Since there were nine people, one person again drew a bye, and it happened to be Su Xiao.

Aside from Su Xiao and Su Hao, almost everyone else was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but their expressions were incredibly solemn, and their eyes rarely left Su Xiao and Su Hao.

Because the strength gap between the others wasn't actually that large, but Su Xiao and Su Hao's power was somewhat off the charts, putting immense pressure on them.

Too terrifying!

The one facing Su Hao was a Prodigy of the Su Family. At nineteen years old, he was already at the Heavenly Immortal Perfection Realm; such talent was terrifying.

But now, facing Su Hao, his face was filled with solemnity.

But soon, he took a deep breath, and his expression gradually relaxed.

His father had said that losing wasn't scary; what was scary was not daring to fight.

Even if this person was powerful, so what? As long as he wasn't afraid, there would definitely be a chance to win.

"Begin!"

As the referee Elder's voice rang out, Su Hao repeated his previous tactic. His figure vanished instantly, and then a person was sent flying, crashing into the stone wall.

"..."

The scene fell into a dead silence once again, as everyone stared blankly at Su Hao.

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

Soon.

The semi-finals ended, leaving five people. This time, Su Hao drew the bye. Whether by intent or coincidence, the two of them were taking turns drawing it.

The battles remained simple and unadorned.

The entire Adulthood Competition now seemed to have become a stage for Su Xiao and Su Hao, with everyone else being mere foils.

Suddenly, a powerful wave of immortal power swept out. Everyone immediately looked toward a certain spot, where a young man sat cross-legged on the ground, the aura within him rising rapidly.

"True Immortal Realm!"

"That's Su Tianyun. He's actually breaking through to the True Immortal Realm at a time like this."

"I remember Su Tianyun said he could have broken through to the True Immortal Realm a month ago, but he deliberately suppressed his Realm to give other contestants a fair fight in the Adulthood Competition."

"Even he was forced to break through. It seems there really is a lot of pressure."

Su Tianyun was originally a favorite to win. Now that the top four were about to start, there was a high probability he would face Su Hao or Su Xiao, which was a massive challenge for him.

After watching their battles, he was certain that even if he broke through to the True Immortal Realm, his chances of winning were still slim.

Su Tianyun found it hard to understand how these two, being so young, had cultivated to such terrifying levels of strength.

"Next, will the five contestants please draw lots!"

Among the five, four were from the Su Family.

Su Xiao took a step forward and said calmly, "It's boring fighting them. Except for Su Hao, the rest of you can come at me together."

Silence!

Su Xiao's arrogant words immediately stunned many people.

There were five people left. Excluding Su Hao, he wanted to fight one True Immortal and two top-tier Heavenly Immortals by himself. Were those words an Earth Immortal Cultivator should be saying?

If the old Su Xiao had said this, they would have laughed, but now, looking at the somewhat cute and mini Su Xiao, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because such a thing might not be impossible.

Everyone had witnessed Su Xiao's strength.

The referee Elder turned to look at Su Ao with an inquiring gaze. Normally, Su Xiao's request would be highly unreasonable and would be rejected immediately.

But the situation was different now.

Su Xiao was brought by Elder Su Chen, so he couldn't be handled in the usual way.

Su Ao immediately nodded.

Su Xiao's identity was a descendant of a Su Family branch, making him one of their own. Having such terrifying talent was a wonderful thing for the entire Su Family.

"Granted!"

Seeing this, the referee Elder nodded.

Next, the entire venue erupted in excitement. This Adulthood Competition was indeed too interesting, its brilliance exceeding every previous one.

Su Xiao jumped directly onto the arena and said to those below, "Hurry up, don't waste time."

The three men's faces looked a bit grim; this was practically grinding their pride and dignity into the dirt. Anyone would be angry, let alone these prodigies, whose hearts were filled with indignation.

They followed him onto the arena.

The referee Elder immediately shouted, "Begin!"

As the words fell, Su Xiao's speed reached the extreme. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of them. With a loud bang, one of them was sent flying.

Damn it!

The other two's expressions changed drastically. They hadn't realized how terrifying the speed was while watching, but now that they felt it personally, they knew just how monstrous it was.

It was simply too fast.

Though their eyes could barely keep up, their bodies couldn't react in time.

"Ten Thousand Lightning Arcs!"

Su Tianyun roared as lightning poured out of his body, instantly covering the entire arena. The lightning was incredibly powerful; even someone in the Heavenly Immortal Realm would be killed or severely injured upon contact.

But Su Xiao just stood in the middle of the lightning, completely motionless.

"How is this possible!"

Su Tianyun's face was full of horror. He looked at everything before him in disbelief. The violent lightning he had released was being toyed with by Su Xiao, causing him no harm whatsoever.

It felt as if he wasn't the master of this lightning, but Su Xiao was.

Su Xiao spoke calmly, "The Cultivation Technique is decent, but its power is lacking."

To be honest.

The current prodigies of the Su Family were not even considered prodigies in his eyes. In the Immortal Realm of the past, they would have been at the bottom tier.

This was due to various factors: experience, Cultivation Techniques, Physiques, and so on.

The next moment, Su Xiao's figure vanished like a ghost.

The remaining two were also powerless to resist and were directly blasted away. Aside from taking slightly longer, the battle was almost no different from the previous ones. The three prodigies were easily defeated by this little guy, with no suspense at all.

The gap... was truly too large...
