In the center of the arena.
Lu Yuan and the man had already fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, their fists and swords clashing, the sounds of their collisions never ceasing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the man threw punch after punch, Lu Yuan continuously wielded his Su Blade to defend, and the ground beneath his feet cracked in response.
The two fought like a steamroller, leaving behind a trail of destruction on the ground.
Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng, who were originally watching from a distance, couldn't take it anymore and quickly slipped to a safer spot.
"My goodness! Did Lu Yuan really just break through to the Heavenly Evolution level?"
Looking at the battlefield that resembled a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, Cui Peng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Fortunately, this is an arena specifically designed for combat. If it were anywhere else, given the two of them's frenzied fighting style, the surrounding area would definitely have been ravaged and nothing would have been left!
Qiao Xingxing stood beside him, watching the battle unfold, her eyes filled with undisguised horror.
"He's too strong; it's completely beyond what someone his age could achieve."
Compared to Cui Peng, Qiao Xingxing came from a stronger family and had access to more things, which is why she was able to reach the seventh level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm before graduating from Longteng Academy. Cultivation is not just about talent; it also requires hard work and supportive enhancements.
That's why she was able to keenly perceive just how outrageous Lu Yuan's strength was at that moment.
Just by looking at the swordsmanship Lu Yuan displayed, she knew that Lu Yuan had already surpassed his peers by several levels.
"Qiao Xingxing, do you think we should go up and help?"
Cui Peng was somewhat hesitant.
He always felt that Lu Yuan was still struggling to fight against a god-level expert on his own, but he was also afraid that if he rushed up rashly, he would not only fail to help but also add to Lu Yuan's burden.
"Let's just stay here and watch."
Qiao Xingxing shook her head.
She understood what Cui Peng was thinking, and she herself felt the same way.
However, the level of combat they were facing was clearly beyond the reach of students who were still at the level of playing around in exams and competitions.
If they rush in now, they won't be able to help Lu Yuan at all; in fact, Lu Yuan might have to protect them instead.
They are completely a drag on the team.
So let's just forget about it.
...
"Elder Zhong, that kid is stronger than we thought."
On the back of the Sky Lizard, the Jiang family stood, watching the two fighting below.
"Old Six's Vajra Fist technique has reached a high level of mastery, but that kid was able to fight him to a standstill with just a long saber..."
The man standing behind Zhong Bei stopped mid-sentence, as he was reminded of the eldest young master of the Jiang family, who was said to be the most talented young master in the family's history.
At such a young age, he had already broken through to the Illusion God level, standing out among the many disciples of the Jiang family, and was already the designated successor to the Jiang family head in everyone's mind.
But despite this.
When Young Master Jiang first broke through to the Heavenly Evolution level, he couldn't fight against a God-level Beast Tamer just by relying on his cultivation technique!
This kid in front of me is really outrageous!
The only thing that might offer him some solace was that Lu Yuan's Beast Tamer level was not as high as Young Master Jiang's.
After all, Young Master Jiang is about the same age as Lu Yuan, but he has already broken through to the Illusion God level for a long time, and he may even become a God-level Beast Tamer after another ten years of cultivation.
But he didn't know.
In fact, Lu Yuan had only recently awakened his beast-taming talent, and had only been cultivating for a few months at most.
Compared to the eldest son of the Jiang family, who had been cultivating for several years, Lu Yuan's speed was nothing short of monstrous.
"It's alright, that kid seems to be losing." Another man next to him said, "In the end, he's just a Heavenly Evolution level Beast Tamer. The spiritual power contained in his body is no match for the sixth brother, who has already reached the high level of Illusion God."
The others around him echoed his sentiments, but Zhong Bei, who was in the lead, remained silent.
A moment later, he frowned.
"Jiang Liu is going to lose."
"What?!"
As if to verify Zhong Bei's judgment, shortly after he finished speaking, Lu Yuan unleashed another sword strike, sending Jiang Liu flying and crashing heavily into the wall.
"puff!"
Jiang Liu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had no external injuries.
Lu Yuan's attack power alone was not enough to break through his defense. After all, the difference in the level of the Beast Tamers was quite large. Even if Jiang Liu did not defend with all his might, Lu Yuan could not hurt him in the slightest. However, Lu Yuan obviously understood this as well. He directly used the spiritual power in his body to infuse the Su Blade, and each swing of the blade was mixed with spiritual power to directly attack Jiang Liu's body.
At first, Jiang Liu didn't take it seriously.
Regardless of whether Lu Yuan's strength is inferior to his own, the amount of spiritual energy stored in his body is not enough to support Lu Yuan launching such spiritual energy attacks repeatedly.
Moreover, even if Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and persevered despite the consequences of exhausting his spiritual energy, he would have already taken him down long before things had progressed to that point.
But.
Jiang Liu never expected that Lu Yuan's combat awareness and even his ability to control the battle situation would be so terrifying.
No matter how many punches he threw, Lu Yuan was always able to minimize the damage and counterattack when the opponent had a gap in his attack, which caused the battle to drag on until now.
Lu Yuan's wounds looked terrifying, but they were all minor scrapes and bruises; his combat condition was even better than Lu Yuan's.
"So? Do you want to continue fighting?"
Lu Yuan stood not far from Jiang Liu and spoke with a smile.
He showed no signs of fatigue or exhaustion, as if the battle was a piece of cake for him.
Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Jiang Liu's face immediately darkened.
To be beaten so badly by a kid who had just broken through to the Heavenly Evolution level—if others heard about this, wouldn't they laugh at him to death?!
no!
He must prove his worth.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu raised his hand and fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then grinned maliciously at Lu Yuan.
"Good lad, I admit you have some skill, but that's all you can do!"
boom--!
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge bear-type beast suddenly appeared beside Jiang Liu and crashed to the ground, shaking the entire arena.
"Beast taming?!"
"My God! The opponent has actually summoned his Illusion God-level Beast! This is clearly an attempt to kill Lu Yuan!"
Lu Yuan blocked out all external sounds and tightened his grip on Su Ren's right hand.
