X-Dragon Era

Meanwhile, three giant dragons rose on the opposite side of the field, two blue and one green. Judging by their colors, they appeared to be two Water Series and one Earth Series dragons. The whole team was following a strategy focused on robust defense.

Once both sides were in position, the instructor announced loudly, "The team on the red side is the Glory Team, entirely composed of Crystal Ten Star Martial Artists. The members are..."

"Wow!" Upon hearing the instructor's words, the audience erupted in amazement. A team completely formed of Ten Star members was unprecedented in today's three matches, and the six teams that had competed, prompting everyone to marvel at the sight!

Soon after the introduction of the red team members, the instructor shifted his tone and continued towards Xin Yun and his two teammates, "Next, let's get to know the blue team members, who are led by the captain—Crystal Five Star Xin Yun, and two Crystal One Star teammates—Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying!"

"Hiss..." The audience started buzzing with discussion. Even though everyone was at the Crystal grade, the gap seemed too vast. Xin Yun might hold his own, but Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying were a whole nine stars, almost an entire grade, behind their opponents. How could this be a fair match?

"All right, attention to both teams, we are now entering the preparation stage, countdown from ten seconds. As soon as the countdown ends, the match will commence, 10…9…8…"

Following the referee's voice, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying exchanged smiles. The next moment... a ripple spread through the air, and Yi Luo Xiang, along with her commanded Flash Butterfly, vanished mysteriously into thin air. At the same time, under Yan Qingying's control, the Phantom Spider also began to fade until it became almost ethereal. When the ten-second countdown ended, Xin Yun alone stood proudly in the arena, bravely facing the three Crystal Ten Star masters on the opposite side.

Finally, the countdown came to an end, and the match was underway in an instant. The first to act were the two blue dragons. Opening their jaws wide, countless whirling ice blades filled the sky and hurtled towards Xin Yun's direction. At the same time, the green Earth Dragon swiftly moved forward, positioning itself in front of the two ice dragons, ready to intercept any attacks from Xin Yun!

In the face of this scene, Xin Yun smiled lazily. Confronted with the onslaught of a million ice blades, he yawned, finding the attack hardly stimulating. But, since he was on the field, he had to defeat his opponents before he could leave, no matter how uninterested he was.

A yawn barely finished, the swarming ice blades had already reached Xin Yun. In that split second, a glint shone from Xin Yun's eyes, and Yinglong suddenly opened his usually narrowed eyes. With a flick of its tail, Yinglong sprang into action!

There was no evasive maneuver, nor were there any flashy combat skills. In a flash... with a single flap of Yinglong's wings, he completely ignored the surrounding spiraling ice blades, surged upstream, and darted towards the three adversaries like a bolt of lightning.

All spectators were stunned by this display. Under everyone's gaze, Yinglong braced against the icy torrent, ascending adversarially, and in a moment, reached the blocking Earth Dragon!

"Dragon battles in the wild! When dragons are spotted in the fields, flying dragons rule the sky!" In just an instant, Yinglong's palms flew, striking three continuous blows to the chest, abdomen, and finally with a heavy hit to the chin of the Earth Dragon. Simultaneously, Yinglong spiraled upwards, bypassing the Earth Dragon, and with an air of supremacy, descended upon the two ice dragons behind it.

From a high vantage point, accompanied by the powerful pressure of a flying dragon in the sky, Xin Yun did not pause, first executing Twin Dragons Fetch Water, followed by an offense-defense maneuver. His palms struck rapidly against the waists of the two ice dragons. His body spun wildly, and he finished with the technique Divine Dragon's Tail Swing!

The robust tail of Yinglong whipped out like a lash, striking hard against the two ice dragons. Meanwhile, Yinglong spun with the momentum, making an aerial turn, and rushed straight toward the exit.

Behind Xin Yun, the three opponents remained suspended in the air, motionless for what seemed like ages. Finally... just as Xin Yun was about to leave the martial arts field, three loud explosions almost simultaneously erupted.

"Bang! Bang! Boom…" In the midst of the thunderous noise, the three Giant Dragons seemed as if they were packed with explosives, detonating in an instant. At that point, the outcome of the match was clear beyond doubt.

The match was over, but the surrounding stands were dead silent, everyone was staring wide-eyed at the explosion on the field, completely confused about what had just happened. How could this be!

At the start, the two Ice Dragons managed to launch an attack, but from the moment Xin Yun initiated his assault, everything changed. The three guys looked like dummies, standing there dumbfounded, not fighting back or talking back. This...

Could it be that Xin Yun moved too fast for them to dodge? No, no, no… Everyone was a Crystal-tier Martial Artist, and even in terms of rank, the opponents had a significant advantage. No matter how incompetent, it's not possible for them not to have a chance to fight back, right?

In fact, although it seemed like Xin Yun alone had ended the fight, in reality, it was the result of teamwork. To be able to demolish the opponents so effortlessly and overwhelmingly, the credit needed to be shared among three people.

First, we should mention the three major battle skills of Yi Luo Xiang. Although Yi Luo Xiang was hidden in the Dimensional Space, it didn't delay her from casting her spells – Soul Impact, Soul Lash, and Soul Severing. These three abilities were unleashed consecutively on the three opponents, which was the reason they were unable to fight back. At the moment Xin Yun attacked, they were actually in a state of paralysis.

Next, let's talk about Yan Qingying. Although on the surface, it seemed like Yan Qingying's newly mastered Fear Ripple didn't do much, in reality, it was a battle skill of Defying Heaven Level!

Under the influence of Fear Ripple, one enters a state of fear. In this state, although one's strength isn't affected, the mind is greatly disturbed, especially those abilities based on spirit and soul, which are significantly weakened.

If it were only the Fear Ripple, the impact on the opponents might not be significant – they might just be too terrified to perform at their full potential. However, combined with Yi Luo Xiang's Soul Series Ability, that's just too abnormal.

It is well-known that people in a state of fear tend to become weak and can, at best, perform at fifty to sixty percent of their capacity. If at that moment, they were to be hit with a Soul Energy attack, they might be scared to death.

While the Fear Ripple alone can't reduce strength, it can weaken performance, which indirectly cuts down the opponent's strength. On this basis, if combined with a Soul Series attack, the power of the Soul Series attack doubles!

To give an example, let's say someone getting scared stiff by a horror movie is already in a state of fear. If suddenly a real ghost appears behind them and launches a soul attack, basically, if they don't die, they're likely to be scared soulless.

Yan Qingying's one Fear Ripple, together with Yi Luo Xiang's Soul Impact, Soul Lash, and Soul Severing, combined with Xin Yun's ferocious and peerless Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, resulted in today's victory. The three Crystal Ten Stars Martial Artists didn't even have a chance to fight back and were directly blasted into smithereens.

Watching Xin Yun and his teammates appear one after another at the entrance, Ka Men was dumbfounded, his mouth agape. Behind him, Speedy Slash and Ke Zhan were equally astounded. What… what on earth had happened? (To be continued, for the subsequent events, please log on to . More chapters are available, support the author, support genuine reading!)
