Once the ranking was announced, the entire Luan Kong Island fell into silence.

There were only ten spots, but Zhongsheng Academy had actually taken up seven spots. What kind of strength was this?

After the news spread out, didn’t it mean that Zhongsheng Academy alone was enough to win against the combined forces of four top academies?

The Dean from Zhongsheng was beaming with joy. He looked at Xuan Yi and laughed heartily.

He didn’t say anything, but everyone in the Zhongsheng Academy knew that the Dean was expressing his gratitude to Xuan Yi.

Others might not be able to see it clearly, but when they saw the rankings, they might think that the Zhongsheng Academy’s teaching abilities had improved by leaps and bounds. However, the Zhongsheng Academy’s teachers and vice-principals were clear that six of the Zhongsheng Academy’s top ten students were brought up by Xuan Yi.

Among them, two of them were super powerful.

However, they had become Xuan Yi’s disciples and were now in the top ten of the south continent.

In other words, the disciples of the Xuan Yi sect were even stronger than the top five academies of the south continent!

With the presence of Xuan Yi, the Zhongsheng was really going to succeed!

Xuan Yi stood up with a smile and nodded to the teachers of the Zhongsheng Academy and the others around him. He was about to welcome the disciples who had brought him glory. At this moment, a figure with a sharp and high-spirited battle intent went against the flow of people. He walked towards Xuan Yi step by step.

“Buzz!”

A sharp sword intent soared into the sky and issued a challenge to Xuan Yi.

“Is he the number one on the Yuan Roll?”

The voice contained spiritual essence and shook the surroundings.

Sun Sheng, the vice principal of the refined Saint Academy, frowned as he looked at the man who was slowly walking towards him. His eyes were filled with sword intent.

“This is the venue for the Grand Competition of the five academies. I see that fellow Daoist’s strength is extraordinary, but you are definitely not Xuan Shi’s match. Why are you looking for trouble?”

As the Deputy Headmaster, Sun Sheng had the cultivation of the advanced stage of the Sage realm. Naturally, he could tell at a glance that the newcomer was an expert at the peak of the cult master realm. From the looks of it, his sword intent even had the strength to break through to the early stage of the Sage realm.

In other words…

This person had the strength to challenge the origin roll!

However, not to mention the sage, even an early stage heavenly king realm expert would not be a match for Xuan Yi. Why did this person have to come looking for trouble.

“I know that I am no match for senior Xuan Yi!”

The newcomer bowed to Sun Sheng. Then, his eyes turned and fixed on Xuan Yi. His eyes were full of eagerness to give it a try.

Buzz!

The long sword behind him slightly jumped and let out a trembling sound. A wisp of Sword Qi surged out. Judging from its power, it was enough to pierce through metal and crack rocks.

This was a supreme sword cultivator who had cultivated sword intent!

“Senior, you don’t deserve to be called a sword cultivator. You can call me fellow Daoist.”

Buzz!

After Xuan Yi finished speaking, a wisp of supreme sword Qi also soared into the sky from behind him. The entire sky above the floating island even revealed a strange scene under the sword Qi. It was as if tens of thousands of white clouds and everything in the world had turned into sharp swords at this moment!

Sword intent, peak level four sword intent!

The newcomer’s eyes were filled with excitement, and his entire body trembled violently. He clenched his fists, and his body trembled. The longsword on his back immediately shot up into the sky.

Clang!

“Swish!”

“Senior Xuan, I know that I’m not your match. However, I’ve cultivated the Sword Dao for so many years, and I’ve rarely seen anyone with sword dao attainments that can reach senior Xuan’s level. How dare Dugu Xing, challenge Senior Xuan!”

Dugu Xing’s face was filled with sincerity as he issued a challenge to Xuan Yi.

“Some time ago, I heard of Senior’s invincible deeds. I want to know just how big the gap is between me and Senior!”

At this moment, the crowd also learned from Dugu Xing’s words that the person in front of them was the number one person on the yuan roll, Xuan Yi, and this sword cultivator named Dugu Xing. They wanted to challenge Xuan Yi.

Many people immediately surrounded them. As their gazes converged, the crowd grew larger and larger.

Xuan Yi smiled. He no longer bothered about the fact that the other party insisted on calling him senior. Instead, he leaped up and directly went onto the battle platform.

Below the battle platform, Dugu Xing held his sword. Sword light flashed as he similarly went onto the battle platform. Before he could even stand firmly, his sword had already struck out from the sky!

Boom!

Sword intent was infused into the longsword, and the sword Qi that was unleashed was at least several hundred meters long. Furthermore, it was all sword qi condensed from spiritual essence. The might of the sword Qi was so great that even an early-stage sacred king would feel his scalp go numb. An ordinary sect master would die upon contact!

“Not bad!”

Xuan Yi nodded, and soon, a look of approval appeared in his eyes. Following which, his expression turned serious.

A few breaths later.

“Clang”!

He directly faced the sword Qi and drew his sword to collide with it.

The crowd cried out in surprise. However, they saw that the sword Qi was directly scattered. Amidst the boundless sword qi, a person dressed in white clothes, who was not injured at all, directly rushed out from the sword qi. His entire person seemed to have become one with the sword.

Once the sword was out on the entire floating island, everyone was enveloped by the boundless intent domain. The hearts of thousands of people thumped and cold sweat dripped down. It was as if in the next moment, they would directly die.

Dugu Xing was not afraid at all. He raised his sword and stomped on the ground. He charged forward.

In the next moment, he was hit by Xuan Yi. His body trembled and he crashed into the battle platform like a meteorite.

The battle platform, which was made of special materials, was smashed into a big pit.

Dust flew in the Big Pit and endless cracks appeared on the surface of the pit. The battle platform, which was hundreds of meters long, cracked and collapsed with a bang!

Everyone widened their eyes and exclaimed.

At this moment, even some sage realm powerhouses’ eyelids were twitching in shock.

They might not be able to withstand this sword attack!

Dugu Liang lay in the pit with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He shook his head and his eyes were filled with shock.

He wanted to see the gap between him and Xuan Yi, but he couldn’t even withstand one sword attack.

“How much of your strength did you use in this strike?”

At this point, he only wanted to know how much strength Xuan Yi’s strike had.

The crowd below the stage also stretched out their necks and stared intently at Xuan Yi.

The person who could withstand that strike could already be considered a heaven’s chosen expert. Such a terrifying strike. How strong was Xuan Yi?

Xuan Yi muttered to himself as he looked at Dugu Liang, who was staring intently at him.

Xuan Yi opened his mouth.

“Level one.”

“Boom!”

Xuan Yi turned around and left.

He was just a peak sect master. Even if he had the battle strength of a sage, there was no need for Xuan Yi to use one-tenth of his strength.

Although it was said to be one-tenth, in reality, Xuan Yi didn’t even use one-twentieth of his strength.

To be honest, it was quite a blow.

“Brother, is this what you mean by ‘terrifying’?”

In the crowd, the brother and sister who had previously discussed Xuan Yi were stunned.

Jiang Qin was stunned while staring blankly at the shattered ground and the battle platform that was hundreds of meters long. The materials used for this battle platform were special. If she were to use her full strength, she would only be able to shatter a few pieces of rubble.

In the end, Xuan Yi casually swung his sword and with one-tenth of his strength. Indeed, he was able to defeat an expert whose battle prowess was comparable to the early stage of the Sage realm. He had even shattered the entire battle platform!

Such strength was simply incomparably terrifying!

“It seems like what I said just now, that I was unable to block one of his moves, was a little forced.”

Jiang Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, and his gaze was gloomy.
