208: Two-day competition

Su Jinxiu was in front, with Qin Jin by his side. As they walked, they attracted the attention of more people within the Mitian Dojo.

As the news spread, more and more disciples of the Mitian Dojo were drawn in, joining the large group following behind. The entire Mitian Dojo became lively, and even the mentors and administrators within the Mitian Dojo couldn't help but pay attention.

More people learned about Qin Jin's identity, and many looked towards Qin Jin with curiosity.

Finally,

the two stopped in front of a stadium within the Mitian Dojo.

Su Jinxiu turned his head and looked at Qin Jin. Although he was an opponent he was about to face, there was no hostility in his words as he introduced, "This is a special stadium within the Mitian Dojo used for Martial Artist duels and competitions."

"How about you and I fight here?"

"Alright," Qin Jin replied.

The two figures, one after the other, stepped inside.

Lin Yuan Star was only a Level 4 planet, but this stadium undoubtedly embodied the Mitian Dojo's dedication. Its facilities were quite complete. With Qin Jin's current knowledge, he could confirm that it was fully capable of supporting some galaxy-level large-scale competitions.

At the center of the stadium was an open-air, super-large arena. As the two entered, Su Jinxiu's body radiated power fluctuations, seemingly engaging in mental communication. Under the gaze of the crowd, the previously dormant arena seemed to awaken. First, light screens emerged from the four sides of the arena, enveloping the entire platform, and then light rings rose, encircling the light screens.

As the light rings continuously ascended, the environment on the arena's surface began to change rapidly. The original flat arena instantly transformed into a void, becoming a sky scene. Even clouds floated above. Everything was lifelike, not appearing to be a mere change, but rather as if a peculiar space had been directly moved inside.

Across the entire sky, only at the two diagonally opposite ends were there two inverted triangular platforms, like black crystals, suspended in mid-air.

"This is the Sky Arena," Su Jinxiu's voice rang out, explaining to Qin Jin, "The arenas within this stadium can completely simulate various combat environments. When activated, they will randomly change to form the battleground."

"The Sky Arena is one of them. This arena has no restrictions or biases, perfectly suited for you and I to have a hearty battle."

At this point, his eyes filled with fighting intent, and he gestured an invitation, "Please."

"Please," Qin Chi responded softly.

The two walked up the stairs extending from the arena. The moment they passed through the light screen, transmission ripples spread, and the two figures appeared on the platforms at the diagonal ends.

Outside,

more and more disciples from the Mitian Dojo, having received the news, personally rushed to the stadium.

Inside,

the moment they entered the arena, the outside clamor was completely cut off. In their vision, only each other remained.

"The Sky Arena, huh?" Qin Jin raised his palm, sensing the arena. At this moment, in his perception, it was no different from a real high-altitude environment, completely identical.

He shifted his gaze to his opponent, and the power around his body began to circulate, accumulating. At this moment, Qin Jin's voice rang out, echoing within the arena, "Wu Yuan Academy, Qin Jin."

On the opposite side,

Su Jinxiu had closed his eyes after entering this space. Upon hearing the voice, he opened his eyes, which shone brightly, "Mitian Dojo, Su Jinxiu."

The voice echoed, scattering the flowing clouds.

The moment his words fell, with a thunderous roar, two powerful auras surged upwards. With almost no hesitation, at both ends of the arena, Qin Jin and Su Jinxiu acted simultaneously, stepping out and ascending to the sky. With an explosive release of power, their entire bodies transformed into streaks of light, rapidly shooting forward.

The stream of power around Qin Jin was predominantly white, while Su Jinxiu's leaned towards a fiery color.

The next moment,

within the Sky Arena, the two streaks of light, like colliding meteors, violently crashed into each other.

Power clashed, and fields collided. Terrifying aftershocks spread to the surroundings, instantly triggering the arena's internal defense mechanisms, causing ripples to emanate from the light screen.

However,

even as the first ripple spread, the two streaks of light in the sky had already collided numerous times, engaging in multiple exchanges in an instant. Fists and feet met, a clash of ultimate real power, with their fields constantly vying for supremacy.

In the eyes of most of the observing disciples outside, they could only see brilliant streaks of light occasionally flashing within the Sky Arena.

"My vision can't keep up at all."

"Senior Brother Su has already reached the Ninth Transformation. Who exactly is this Qin Jin, to be able to contend with him?"

"No wonder so many people earlier weren't his match."

"A strong dragon doesn't cross the river lightly. The Mitian Dojo allowing him to participate in the secret transmission indeed has a reason."

The chatter and discussions were incessant.

Inside the arena, nothing from the outside could be heard. Their figures continuously collided. Just after another exchange of fists, one figure stood firm in mid-air like an unmoving rock, while the other retreated repeatedly, as if constantly dissipating force.

To the shock of countless Mitian Dojo disciples, when the retreating figure's stream of power temporarily vanished, revealing his true appearance, they realized it was none other than Su Jinxiu!

"Senior Brother Su is actually at a disadvantage?"

Inside the arena, Qin Jin stood firm.

He looked at Su Jinxiu across the sky and said calmly, "Can you unleash your full power now?"

"You saw through me."

There was no surprise in Su Jinxiu's tone.

"A Ninth Transformation Martial Artist from the Mitian Dojo, if he only possessed this much strength, then the Mitian Dojo, even if founded by Martial God seniors, wouldn't have such great renown."

"I said it before," Qin Jin looked at him.

"No need to hold back. Fight with all your might. Let me see your strength."

"Next, I won't hold back either."

As his voice fell, Su Jinxiu was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, "Alright."

"It's been a long time since I've fought with all my strength."

"Since you wish to see it, I shall satisfy you."

As he spoke, like a drizzle turning into a storm, his aura fluctuated, and his own momentum continuously surged.

Like unsealing!

In Qin Jin's spiritual vision, he could vaguely see a phantom lock appearing above Su Jinxiu, gradually opening. Within his physique, there seemed to be multiple nodes, and now, one by one, these nodes were being unblocked, primal power surged, and his own strength continuously rose.

His domain manifested, already leaning towards a fiery color. Now, as his aura surged, the power flowing outwards seemed to truly transform into flames. He was the center of the flames, standing in the air like a small sun.

Under the fiery glow, his hair and beard seemed to turn fiery red. Su Jinxiu raised his head, looked at Qin Jin, and smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Qin Jin."

"Are you ready?"

"Of course."

The moment the word 'course' landed, Su Jinxiu's speed erupted to its maximum, traversing the sky, instantly closing the distance between them. His fist, like a heavy hammer, ignited the sky and smashed down.

When his power fully erupted, he experienced a comprehensive increase.

However, what Su Jinxiu never expected was that his seemingly inevitable strike missed!

Action Word Secret.

Battle is a matter of an instant. Su Jinxiu didn't have time for much thought. His punch missed, and he sensed power surging beside him. Without hesitation, he swung his fist back, striking towards the rear.

Bang!

A dull collision sound rang out, and power continuously scorched. What met Su Jinxiu's eyes were a pair of eyes that looked full of majesty!

True Dragon Precious Technique!

The two touched and separated instantly, the air constantly scorching. In the moment of retreat, a brilliant light flashed in Su Jinxiu's eyes. In mid-air, power condensed, forming a fiery blade that slashed down.

However...

The fiery blade was interfered with by power before it even approached Qin Jin, and it shattered with a bang.

Seeing this, Su Jinxiu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He continued his movement, facing the difficulty head-on again, and while attacking, the initial question blurted out.

"Qin Jin."

"Which transformation are you in?!"

Fist met fist, and he clearly sensed an extremely astonishing power emanating from Qin Jin, along with a reply.

"Sixth Transformation."

"This is a Sixth Transformation?!"

It was fine before, but now that they were clashing, Su Jinxiu felt like he wasn't fighting a person, but rather trying to shake a mountain. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "How astonishing is the effect of each of his transformations?"

Thoughts raced through his mind.

Although he wasn't shaking a mountain, he was shaking a dragon!

Qin Jin's basic attributes had already reached an extremely high level, and with the augmentation of the True Dragon Precious Technique, it was even more unimaginable.

One must know that the origin of the True Dragon Cave Heaven came from a race that once stood at the pinnacle of heaven and earth.

"I can't keep this up."

"I clearly have a realm advantage, but if we continue to exchange blows like this, I might be the one who can't maintain it first."

A thought flashed through Su Jinxiu's mind. As he ran forward in the sky, a lock appeared on his chest!

This lock was precisely the one that had vaguely appeared in Qin Jin's spiritual perception before.

Secret Treasure: Body Lock.

Ten years to sharpen a sword, one morning to test its edge.

Su Jinxiu's Secret Treasure was extremely special. It was more like a cultivation aid. During his normal cultivation, he was subjected to the heavy pressure of the Secret Treasure, requiring more effort, and his own power was thus bound, continuously accumulating.

Now, the Secret Treasure manifested, the lock completely opened, and surging power poured into his body. Su Jinxiu couldn't help but let out a long howl. The fiery aura around him surged, and he charged forward, unleashing his techniques.

Nine Tribulation True Body—Heavenly Fire Body!

As a disciple of the Mitian Dojo, he also cultivated this Combat Method, and he possessed extreme talent in the Heavenly Fire Body, having already forged his own path. Now, with his power fully unleashed and combined with the Heavenly Fire Body, his muscles swelled, and fiery aura spread. His entire body surged in size, as if he had transformed into a giant, soaring straight ahead in the high sky!

Looking from afar,

enveloped in flames, he was like a falling sun-meteor, streaking towards the other end of the sky.

Qin Jin.

He was his target.

The fiery figure attacking from afar was dazzling. Qin Jin stood in the high sky, his expression unchanged. At this moment, his own power circulated. Looking at the approaching falling sun, he raised his palm and pressed down!

His movement was unremarkable.

However...

With his movement, power was mobilized, and above and behind Qin Jin, the Ling Xu Fire God appeared!

The Fire God stood, like the morning sun, radiating brilliant light, armored all around. That was the trace left by Qin Jin's continuous research into furnace flames.

Accompanying Qin Jin's movement, the Fire God also raised his arm and pressed down forcefully!

Inside the arena, the sky was dyed fiery red.

At this moment, it was as if two suns had appeared in the sky, vying for supremacy.

In an instant,

the descending palm of the Fire God intercepted Su Jinxiu, pressing down from above him.

Fire God Suppressing Sun.

Upon contact, aftershocks surged. Su Jinxiu sensed an endless pressure. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his final burst of power!

Boom boom boom boom!

The roar of power resonated, like a brilliant sun blooming in the sky. As power continuously clashed, the Fire God's palm became increasingly transparent but remained unbroken.

Amidst the horrified expressions of the Mitian Dojo disciples in the stadium, they saw Qin Jin's palm pressing down, the Fire God moving accordingly, and Su Jinxiu's surrounding power continuously burning, its brilliance rapidly diminishing. His body, as if bearing an unbearable force, plummeted downwards within this Sky Arena.

When he fell to a certain height,

his body flickered and then vanished.

Sky Arena.

With the sky as the arena, if one is not in the sky, one has naturally lost.

Within the vast stadium, it became almost completely silent, with only the disciples who had just arrived after receiving the news looking at the arena with somewhat bewildered expressions.

"Where's Senior Brother Su?"

Everyone's gaze focused on Qin Jin.

Above the firmament, the young man stood alone, with the Fire God behind him radiating divine might.

The battle result was out. With a thought from Qin Jin, the Fire God behind him vanished, and the environment within the entire arena rapidly changed, returning to its original state in an instant. Qin Jin's feet touched the solid ground.

He looked ahead.

Su Jinxiu's body was sprawled on the ground, enveloped in healing light.

His injuries were not severe.

Because Qin Jin hadn't struck harshly, after all, it was just a friendly exchange, not a life-and-death struggle. His injuries were mostly due to his own power being completely exhausted during the clash of forces.

"Mitian Dojo's Su Jinxiu, at the Ninth Transformation, huh?" Qin Jin looked at him, sensing his own remaining strength and calculating his own techniques.

"Breaking through the limits of life and accumulating profound martial arts has made my Sixth Transformation far more effective than a normal Sixth Transformation."

"Plus the Heavenly Azure Method—"

He narrowed his eyes, muttering to himself, "Below the Martial Saint, I am already invincible."

"Perhaps—"

"When truly unleashing my full power, with all four Cave Heavens open, I can even contend with a Martial Saint!"

Around them,

the defensive light screen enveloping the arena dissipated at this moment. Outside sounds entered the arena, which undoubtedly meant that this battle had been settled, and the outcome could not be changed.

Inside the stadium, after a few more seconds of silence, a deafening clamor suddenly erupted.

"How can this be?!"

"Senior Brother Su just lost like that?"

"I heard that Senior Brother Su is extremely proficient in fire attributes, but he seems to have lost in his most specialized area."

"This Qin Jin, hiss—"

"According to the information circulating within the Mitian Dojo, Qin Jin seems to be younger than many of those present."

"Does Wu Yuan Academy cultivate such individuals?"

The discussions and arguments were incessant, the noisy sounds piercing the clouds.

Younger, and fighting across realms, Su Jinxiu also seemed to have held nothing back. When the true result was laid before them, it undoubtedly brought them immense shock. The figure that stood in the sky before would remain vivid in their memories, constantly flashing back on their cultivation path.

In front of the arena,

under the healing light, Su Jinxiu's body trembled. He propped himself up with his hands on the ground, struggling to raise his head.

His face was pale, a sign of excessive power consumption. He looked up, his gaze fixed on Qin Jin, his eyes filled with endless turmoil.

"What kind of monster is this?" he thought to himself.

Then...

he spoke in a somewhat weak voice, which, through the arena's built-in amplification system, spread throughout the stadium.

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

"I lost."
