The exchange ended in an extremely short time, but the momentum it stirred up left everyone present in shock.
As they saw the young man in white being flung out of the arena, many people’s eyes widened in disbelief. That was their Ji Family’s long-celebrated prodigy, who had been recognized as such ten years ago, just like the current Ji Yufen, and had been heavily nurtured by the Ji Family!
Now, he was actually defeated by this youth with a single punch?!
Anxiety had filled the faces of Ji Yun Yue and others, which instantly turned into astonishment.
Looking at the young man inside the arena with his robe fluttering, it seemed he had not yet used his full strength.
They felt a shock in their hearts, and at this moment, they finally believed the words of their third brother. This youth truly possessed the ability to clash with the Ultimate Study Realm!
“What a strong physique!”
“What a violent Qi force!”
But Ji Tian Chao’s eyes shone brightly, now that he saw firsthand, he could tell that the youth contained an extremely vast power within him.
This power was internal and not fully visible to him, as if something was obscuring it, or as if the youth still had more to give!
Apart from Ji Tian Chao and others, the other elders and high-ranking members of the various branches were also startled, their expressions suddenly becoming grave.
They had previously looked down upon this youth because he was of mixed blood, which instinctively displeased them, but the power displayed by him now far exceeded their past perceptions of mixed-blood individuals.
Even the progeny of the main lineage were not a match for this youth, it must be known that the youth did not have access to the Ji Family’s ample resources before joining them, wandering on his own, unable to compare with the wealth of the Ji Family!
What could their cultivation techniques, secret medicines, and the like compare to the Ancient Holy Clan?
Unless Li Hao had been adopted by another Ancient Holy Clan and cultivated as a direct descendant, but that was virtually impossible!
The defeat of the young man in white cooled down the derision of those who had previously looked down on the youth on the stage, some finding themselves at a loss for words.
This scene was unexpected, leaving them incredulous.
However, Li Hao on the stage did not stop his advance, his gaze sweeping over the other prodigies. Seeing their astonished faces, he said coldly,
“Who else is there, step forward!”
Although the youth’s words were indifferent, the disdain clear in his tone made many prodigies slightly change color.
To stand in the Ji Family’s prodigy battlefield as someone of mixed blood, yet still boast such an imposing attitude.
They felt as if they were indeed being underestimated!
Among these prodigies, many were at the Tao Heart Realm, and yet the white-clothed youth just defeated by Li Hao was at the Defying Fate Realm. Even Ji Mingshou had lost, so there was no point in them taking the stage.
This infuriated many of them, causing them to clench their fists, yet unable to vent their anger.
“Ji Rufeng, make your move. We cannot let this mixed-blood look down on our Ji Family!”
“Yes, suppress him, let him know the true strength of our Ji Family’s prodigies!”
The Tao Heart Realm prodigies felt stifled, some glancing towards the other prodigies.
Above the arena, there stood several figures with elegant postures and divine looks, like celestial beings, most of whom had indifferent expressions, while some looked at the youth in the arena with interest.
“You do have some skills, but you are too arrogant!”
The youth who had previously asked those below the Defying Fate Realm to step back now took a step forward in response to the calls of others.
He looked at Li Hao coldly and said, “If you had a few more years, you might indeed qualify to challenge for a Dao Seed, but you are still too naive right now!”
“Enough talk!”
Li Hao looked around and stated directly, “Anyone below the Tao Realm is welcome to come at me together, let’s finish this quickly. I shall challenge all of you without wearing myself down!”
Hearing Li Hao’s words, the multitude of prodigies changed color again, all furious. They had always held themselves in high esteem, thinking they were proud enough, but this youth’s arrogance was even more outrageous.
“I will break your bones!”
Ji Rufeng’s eyes shone coldly as he suddenly stepped into the arena.
Seeing Ji Rufeng take action, the crowd’s eyes lit up slightly. He was one of the Ji Family’s top ten prodigies, considered a paramount existence in the same realm!
“Do you want to rest, or shall we continue today?”
Ji Rufeng asked with an icy gaze.
“Come on.”
Li Hao said directly.
“Good!”
Ji Rufeng’s aura surged, immediately displaying the aura of the Peerless Technique Realm. He was young and had already entered the Peerless Technique Realm, a rarity for his generation!
In the perilous Great Wilderness Heaven, he was a dazzling figure, admired by countless tribes.
As his aura revealed itself, the surroundings seemed to roll up endless killing intent, the air condensed into a wall, covering the entire arena, making it hard to breathe.
Ji Rufeng slowly stepped forward, walking towards Li Hao, one step at a time.
But with each step, his aura grew more intense. After more than a dozen steps, his aura was like that of a towering deity, looking down on Li Hao.
“How strong, is this the power of one of the top ten prodigies?”
“Our clan’s prodigies will not be insulted so lightly; he will pay the price!”
“If this mixed-blood was not so arrogant, he would also be a prodigy, but he’s too disrespectful!”
“This is the Ji Family, not the dog kennels where he used to live!”
Everyone was encouraged by Ji Rufeng’s imposing presence. The difference between the Peerless Technique Realm and the Defying Fate Realm is enormous, much greater than the gap between the Defying Fate Realm and the Tao Heart Realm. To open up a Peerless Technique within oneself, the increase in power is more than tenfold compared to the Tao Heart Realm!
“You like using fists, right? I happen to use them too, let’s see whose fists are harder!”
Ji Rufeng, with eyes dark as the abyss, stared at Li Hao and said.
Li Hao’s expression was calm, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, “Is that so? Then let’s find out!”
Thump, thump, thump! Your journey continues on empire
Ji Rufeng approached Li Hao with steps that grew increasingly quick. His gathered aura surged in this moment, and when he charged up to Li Hao, he saw that Li Hao did not choose to dodge, but prepared to take on his attack that harnessed the force of all directions.
