Chapter 542: Chapter 295: The Grand Xuan City, Meng Chong Makes His Appearance_1
Xu Yan killed the master of Jianzhai, and the momentum of the scene he created expanded further, continuously feeding his martial arts foundation, bringing him one step closer to garnering enough foundation.
He glanced at Fan Kaisan, who seemed eager and filled with anticipation, then turned and left without another word.
He was certainly not foolish enough to challenge a martial artist who had cultivated the Heavenly Earth Lingji.
With his current strength, he was absolutely no match for Fan Kaisan.
Unless, he could break through to the Divine Origin Realm.
"You're not fighting anymore?"
Fan Kaisan was somewhat surprised.
Xu Yan paused in his steps and pondered, "I am the pinnacle of the Spiritual Realm prodigies. The rest should submit to me. This journey is to challenge the prodigies of the Spiritual Realm and defeat them all."
"I'm not here to challenge an old guy like you. Your strength is commendable, but it's not worth my time considering your age and the amount of power you have."
"The master of Jianzhai practiced Sword Dao, so I made a move against him, but you are not a practitioner of the Sword Dao. You're not worth my time!"
Fan Kaisan's face alternated between green and red, a surge of resentment gathering in his chest. Was this eminent martial artist actually being despised by a young brat?
What did Xu Yan mean by "so old yet so little power"?
"Boy, are you looking down on me?"
Fan Kaisan said angrily.
Xu Yan, an honest man, simply nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, I am somewhat looking down on you. After all, at your old age, you have such little power. If I were as old as you, I would have transcended the world long ago!"
The crowd of martial artists: ...
Fan Kaisan was so infuriated that his eyes were red, gasping for breath. Chang Daniu also felt offended.
His power and age were similar to Fan Kaisan's. If Xu Yan was looking down on Fan Kaisan, might he not also be looking down on him?
Xu Yan didn't bother with them. With a flicker, he moved on. His next target was Cai Yunhong, the prodigy of the Sky Cloud Dynasty. Time was of the essence, he must accumulate his foundation and break through his realm.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Furious, Fan Kaisan prepared to give chase.
Chang Daniu smirked coldly, "What, does the old man want to bully the younger one? He might not be the prodigy of our Wanshi Alliance, but he is a prodigy of the loose cultivators. Are you going to violate the rules of the Prodigies Tournament?"
"Hmph!"
Fan Kaisan snorted coldly and turned away.
Xu Yan, you arrogant boy, pushing your luck!
If he couldn't confront him openly, he could always take action behind the scenes.
As long as no one knew, it wouldn't count as breaking the rules!
Xu Yan officially embarked on his journey to challenge the prodigies of the Spiritual Realm, forging his own invincible path.
Meanwhile, Meng Chong had also arrived at the territory of the Triple Extinction Tower.
The Triple Extinction Tower wasn't located in Luo State, but in Lizhou.
The Wanshi Alliance of Lizhou was not weak. They had a few prodigies and although they were slightly inferior to Spirit Sect, they were able to hold their own against them.
The main city of Daxuan, the biggest city in Lizhou, was jointly governed by several Spirit Sects.
And the headquarters of the Wanshi Alliance in Lizhou was also located here, in the southern part of the city, confronting the various Spirit Sects.
The Prodigies Tournament in Lizhou was livelier than in Luo State, with more participants.
In the central arena of Daxuan City, two young men clashed fiercely.
One was a loose cultivator, the other a disciple of a certain Spirit Sect.
The two battling, both at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.
At an age of just under thirty, this level of power was considered prodigious.
Though they were not top-tier prodigies, they were among the ranks of prodigies.
Boom!
Splat!
The loose cultivator was blasted back by a punch. He spat out blood; several bones seemed to have been broken as he was sent flying backwards.
"I concede!" he cried in a hurry.
While the Prodigies Tournament in Lizhou was indeed intense, it was not death or surrender. As long as one party surrendered, the match would cease.
Of course, this rule only applied to prodigies outside the Wanshi Alliance and the top Spirit Sect.
The battles between prodigies were not all with lone cultivators and Spirit Sect prodigies. There were also battles within Spirit Sect clans, which were fairly common.
To climb up the ranks of the prodigy leaderboard and secure the prizes of the Prodigies Tournament, the true opponents were the prodigies of the Spirit Sect clans. After all, lone cultivator prodigies were in the minority.
The majority were weaker than the prodigies of the Spirit Sect and elite clans.
Lone cultivators, in terms of cultivation technique, martial arts experience, weapons, etc., were all inferior to the Spirit Sect and elite clans. The Wanshi Alliance, though made up of lone cultivators, shouldn't be treated as ordinary lone cultivators.
Among the eighteen states of the Spiritual Realm, apart from Yuzhou and Luo State, all the other states were bustling. The Prodigies Tournament was in full swing and the prodigies were ready for battle, all for fame, the rewards of the Tournament, and to get more cultivation resources and higher-level cultivation.
As for the clash between the Wanshi Alliance and the Spirit Sect, it was not something ordinary prodigies could participate in. The final victory depended on the Transcendent Spirit Sect and the Wanshi Alliance Headquarters.
And it was still quite early for their decisive battle.
This Prodigies Tournament was the grandest martial arts event in the world of Spiritual Realm Martial Arts since the calamity of the Blood Demon, after the withdrawal of the All-Star Martial Arts Academy from the eighteen states.
All major Spirit Sects and elite clans invested resources in their prodigies in order to achieve a higher rank and secure a better reputation. This was actually about the distribution of resources and power.
Even if the Wanshi Alliance had not emerged, the tournament of the Spirit Sect and elite clans would have started in a few years. The current Prodigies Tournament was just ahead of schedule.
It had simply incorporated the Wanshi Alliance and all the lone cultivators.
Upon reaching the bustling city of Daxuan without delay, Meng Chong watched the two combatants on the platform. Although they were both at the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, their realms were unstable and their strengths were too weak.
