Fang Zhe remained standing in his place, unmoving amid the raging storm of Qi triggered by Zhuge Yan. His gaze, as calm as the surface of an ice lake, did not waver in the slightest, even when the oppressive aura of his opponent's fake Pseudo-King Warrior realm shook the quartz floor all around them.Hearing Zhuge Yan's roar full of pseudo-confidence, the corners of Fang Zhe's lips lifted slightly, forming a carving of a cold smile laden with absolute mockery."Old and new grudges?" Fang Zhe uttered flatly, his soft yet crystal-clear voice cutting through the roaring gale of wind inside the dome.He took a single step forward. His calm demeanor stood in stark contrast to the destructive aura emitted by his enemy."Zhuge Yan, it seems your memory was ruined along with the side effects of that cheap pill," Fang Zhe continued with a tone of sharp disdain. "Back in the Small World, didn't you already use the exact same method to forcibly raise your cultivation? And what was the result? Yo

BOOMMMMMMM!The blackish-red blood aura burning away the remnants of Zhuge Yan's life grew even more unhinged, its pressure vibrations strong enough to crack the anchoring stakes of the arena's protective dome formation. The suffocatingly thick, foul stench of blood surged through the gaps of the formation, stinging the noses of the terrified thousands in the audience.Up in the main stands of the VIP honor pavilion, the atmosphere—which had previously been filled with the vengeful cheers of the major clan elders—instantly descended into total chaos!"Damn it! What in the world is that Zhuge brat doing?!" yelled an Elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect, slamming his stone table until it shattered into countless pieces. "Burning his pure bloodline to forcibly spike his realm all the way to a Four-Star King Fighter?! Not only is he destroying his own future, but he's going to blow up this combat dome!""This is no longer just an elimination round duel!" added the Grand Elder of the Green C

BAMMMM!The lifelines in Zhuge Yan's eyes dimmed instantly. His consciousness collapsed entirely as his withered, shriveled body could no longer sustain the shattering of all his meridians. With a heavy THUD, Zhuge Yan's head slammed against the quartz rock. The remnants of his blood Qi evaporated into a thin mist, leaving behind a weakly breathing living corpse that had completely lost its cultivation!"ZHUGE YAN!"A hysterical roar split the skies of the Main Altar! The Patriarch of the Zhuge Clan, witnessing his only son and sole prospective clan successor reduced to a useless, crippled form, could no longer contain his insane fury.BOOMMMMMMMMM!The cultivation pressure of a Seven-Star King Fighter realm erupted ferociously from the Zhuge Patriarch's body, shattering the entire surrounding VIP viewing area! The jade balustrades crumbled into pieces as his figure darted forward like a demonic shadow enveloped in pure, wrathful fire.SWOOSH!A blinding light flashed from the spatial

Silence once again enveloped the Main Altar. The atmosphere within the arena was so still that even the ticking of a clock seemed audible.The remaining nine geniuses, including the top elites who usually possessed pride as high as the heavens, looked at each other. There was no defiance, no heroic aura, let alone any urge to play the foolish hero.The shattered quartz section, the un dried bloodstains of the Zhuge Clan's Patriarch, and the arena cracks left by Fang Zhe's blow were still vividly displayed before their eyes. Challenging that black-haired youth was tantamount to jumping into an erupting volcanic crater."We recognize the limits of our abilities!" shouted the number one genius of the Heavenly Sword Sect, stepping forward a pace, clasping his hands together to bow deeply toward the VIP stage and General Fu Shi."Brother Fang Zhe's strength has surpassed the limits of the younger generation of the Eastern Mainland Territory. Challenging him is no longer a form of bravery,
