Having absorbed Song Que’s True Dragon Qi, Lin Xuan’s body once again shone with golden light.
Most of his silver battle armor was covered in golden radiance, just a hair’s breadth away from becoming true pale golden battle clothes.
The crowd gasped in admiration, Lin Xuan’s strength had once again surpassed their expectations.
The Thunder Sect Disciples were even more terrified, for a martial artist who had no fear of thunder and lightning and could even absorb it was their absolute nemesis!
The power of thunder and lightning absorption Lin Xuan had displayed truly shocked everyone.
Especially the Thunder Sect Disciples.
This was undoubtedly their bane!
Several Thunder Sect Disciples looked towards Lin Xuan with deep fear.
They didn’t wish to battle such an opponent.
Lei Zhen’s face darkened, his gaze towards Lin Xuan filled with a cold murderous intent.
Beside him, Shangguan Hao burst out in fury, with one step forward his aura erupted violently.
“What nonsense about the Thunder Sect’s bane, I could squash you with one hand!”
His eyes were locked onto Lin Xuan, wishing he could battle with him for three hundred rounds right then and there.
Faced with Shangguan Hao’s fierce gaze, Lin Xuan remained fearless.
Having tasted the benefits from Song Que, he was now eager to battle the Thunder Sect Disciples.
Their gazes clashed in the air, creating sparks as if swords were colliding.
At that moment, both of their battle clothes emitted a resonant humming sound.
Then, guided by the True Dragon Qi, both of them flew onto the arena.
“What?”
The audience was shocked; they had never seen anything like this before.
“Could it be a coincidence?”
“No, it must be that their war intent influenced the True Dragon Qi.”
Could it really work that way?
Everyone marveled.
At the Azure Dragon Society, you couldn’t just battle whoever you wanted.
The combatants were entirely determined by the guidance of the True Dragon Qi.
That’s why they were surprised.
On the arena, Shangguan Hao laughed heartily: “It seems even the heavens are helping me, kid, this time I’ll show you the power of a Thunder Sect disciple!”
“I could crush the likes of you with one palm!”
“It seems your power of thunder and lightning has become purer; I hope it will satisfy me!” Lin Xuan said calmly.
The crowd was thrilled; they hadn’t expected for two dark horses to clash against each other, promising to be a fierce collision.
“Who do you think will win?”
“If it were before, it would definitely be Shangguan Hao; his strength is surely above Lin Xuan.”
“But now that Lin Xuan can absorb thunder and lightning, maybe he could win, who knows?”
Below the stage, the opinions were divided, but most were optimistic about Lin Xuan because his ability to absorb the energy of thunder and lightning was too peculiar.
Shangguan Hao roared to the heavens, his body rampant with thunder and lightning, behind him a pair of massive Thunder Wings condensed.
It was driving him insane, being the top dark horse of the third arena, he had considered no one his equal.
Yet now, the audience wasn’t favoring him, and that he couldn’t stand.
Only by defeating Lin Xuan could he prove his might once more!
The Thunder Wings vibrated, Shangguan Hao disappeared on the spot, the next instant he was by Lin Xuan’s side.
Those colossal Thunder Wings, like Heavenly Blades, were extremely sharp, swiftly slicing at Lin Xuan, cleaving him in two.
“Is he dead?” The audience was startled.
“No, it’s an illusion!”
At that moment, the severed body instantly vanished, while Lin Xuan’s true form appeared elsewhere.
The Thunder Wings were formidable, but his Void Spirit Illusion Demon Step was not just for show either.
Once again moving, Lin Xuan charged towards Shangguan Hao.
This time, he was determined to form the Golden Thunder Body!
Shangguan Hao laughed out of sheer rage: “I’d like to see how much thunder and lightning you can absorb!”
“Thunder Realm!”
All around him, countless blue arcs of electricity formed a strange energy, enveloping the surroundings.
At the same time, a hundred-meter-tall Thunder Hammer appeared behind him, emanating a ferocious aura.
Lin Xuan had just gotten close when he felt the strong impact of the Thunder Realm.
In an instant, the silver thunder and lightning on his body were suppressed.
The thunder and lightning, imbued with the essence of the Thunder Realm, was many times more powerful, and even with the Devouring Sword, he dared not absorb too much.
Seeing Lin Xuan’s condition, Shangguan Hou laughed arrogantly.
“I originally thought you were formidable, turns out that’s all you’ve got, defeat for me!”
Shangguan Hao swung the Thunder Hammer, and it came crashing down with a thunderous sound.
The crowd was surprised; they hadn’t anticipated Shangguan Hao’s overwhelming and domineering power capable of suppressing Lin Xuan.
They knew Lin Xuan could absorb thunder and lightning!
“Truly deserving of being the number one dark horse, such combat power is terrifying!”
“It seems that Shangguan Hao is certain to win this match.”
Thunder Sect Disciples were each excited, waving their arms and shouting.
Lin Xuan’s internal power burst forth.
Relying solely on the Silver Thunder Body, he could not contend with Shangguan Hao, so he rapidly invoked the Wind Realm.
The air around them seemed to solidify as if under Lin Xuan’s control.
He moved like a wisp of smoke, skimming past the Thunder Hammer, constantly flitting by Shangguan Hao’s side.
The enormous Thunder Hammer struck down, making the entire arena tremble nonstop.
The savage power, like waves crashing against a huge rock, spread in all directions.
Even early-stage Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists who stepped forward would be easily torn apart.
Yet Lin Xuan was like a sailboat from the Thunder Sea Sect, wavering incessantly.
However, he had managed to withstand the Thunder Realm.
“What, he blocked it?”
“This is…
the Wind Realm!
Lin Xuan actually has the Wind Realm!”
The crowd was astonished.
Having resisted the Thunder Realm, Lin Xuan no longer held back his cultivation, and the aura of the Spirit Transformation Realm erupted violently.
At the same time, his Silver Thunder Body flickered, forming vortex-like Thunder Patterns, rapidly absorbing the surrounding thunder and lightning.
“Spirit Transformation Realm!”
“He’s a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist, has he been suppressing his cultivation this whole time?”
People were going wild, realizing Lin Xuan had such a formidable reserve.
This also proved Shangguan Hao’s strength; to know Lin Xuan had won so many consecutive battles easily.
But now, he was finally forced to play his trump card.
“Spirit Transformation early-stage cultivation, Wind Realm, is this your trump card?” Shangguan Hao sneered coldly, “In front of me, you don’t stand a chance!”
“Thunder God’s Fury!”
Shangguan Hao floated in the air, holding the gigantic Thunder God’s Hammer, summoning dozens of terrifying bolts of lightning around him that struck downwards.
The Star Extreme Sword was unsheathed, and Lin Xuan countered with an upward slash.
Terrifying Sword Light surged, splitting the Thunder Shock in half, all while the silver vortex on his body quickly spun, absorbing the surrounding thunder and lightning.
Sword Qi cut through in all directions, the dance of thunder and lightning, the horrific momentum drew the attention of everyone nearby.
Not just arena number three, but martial artists from other arenas were also startled.
In the past, such fierce battles typically only occurred during the ranking fights for the Green Dragon Geniuses, and it was unexpected to see one so early in the qualifiers!
Aside from a few top experts, everyone else had grave expressions.
Such combat power gave them a chilling sensation.
Especially the newcomers to this tournament, they all felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
Above the Ancient City, the five Venerables whispered amongst themselves.
“That Lin Xuan is indeed strange; he can actually absorb thunder and lightning.”
“I bet he’s surely a remnant of the Black Dragon Sect!” Chi Huo Venerable snorted coldly.
“His step technique looks so familiar; it resembles that Earth Rank Body Technique from the Dragon Star Country of yore.”
“It seems this young man holds many secrets; not only is he connected to Leng Ningshuang, but now it seems he might have acquired the legacy of the Evil King.”
“Why not capture him now?” Chi Huo Venerable snorted coldly.
