Bright and beautiful sunlight shone down from the blue sky, shining on the two figures in the arena.
The two of them faced off against each other, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
"Hehe, you're Fang Xuan? I've heard a lot about you. Your infamous name has already spread throughout the entire Heaven Dou Academy. Today is the perfect opportunity for me to avenge those goddesses that you've destroyed."
Howard gave Fang Xuan a cruel look. He stretched his limbs, and the joints of his entire body rubbed against each other. A crackling sound like beans being fried could be heard.
Fang Xuan's eyes were cold. He remained silent and focused on his opponent in front of him.
"Howard, rank 31 Soul Battle Expert, martial soul: Brown Bear"
"Fang Xuan, Rank 30 Soul Warrior. Martial Soul: … Blade"
After the two of them reported their identities, Howard took the initiative to launch his attack.
"Brown Bear Possession"
Howard's blonde hair danced in the wind. With a roar, his entire body erupted with energy. A ferocious black bear appeared on the surface of his body. Its mountain-like body was filled with power.
The Brown Bear martial soul. Although it wasn't a special martial soul, it was known for its strength and defense. It was extremely powerful. In a battle, it could fight evenly with a Rank 34 or 35 Soul Expert.
At the same time, three soul rings appeared — yellow, yellow, and purple.
"Third soul skill, Brown Bear Mountain Splitting Palm"
Howard directly used his strongest thousand-year soul skill. His aura was abnormally terrifying. His right hand carried a tyrannical gale as it fiercely slammed towards
Fang Xuan's chest.
"Blade Drawing Technique"
With his essence, energy, and spirit as one, Fang Xuan was highly focused. Rolling soul power surged and roared in his body. His right hand touched the hilt of his blade, and with the results of his recent cultivation, he suddenly drew his blade.
"Boom"
The snow-white edge of the Shadowless tore through the air. It carried a strong gale as it wildly slashed toward Howard.
Fang Xuan used his comprehension of the Drawing Technique over the past few days, as well as the strongest soul power he had at this stage. He directly slashed at Howard's body, who was known for his defensive abilities.
"Bang"
The sound of bones being torn apart resounded.
Howard's sternum caved in on the spot. Even with the strong defense of the Brown Bear Martial Soul, it was difficult for him to withstand Fang Xuan's terrifying Sword Drawing Technique. His face was ashen, and he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. His body was like a kite with a broken string. He was sent flying backward and crashed heavily on the edge of the arena.
"How … how is this possible?!!"
Howard stared at Fang Xuan in shock. He struggled to get up from the ground, but he failed. His injuries were too severe, and he fainted.
One strike to defeat a Soul Expert.
Dead silence!!!
All the contestants, audience, and referees present were stunned. They were attracted by Fang Xuan's stunning sword strike and fell into a period of silence.
After an unknown period, a voice gradually sounded.
"It can't be. Is this for real? He defeated Howard with Just one strike"
"Howard is a three-ringed Soul Expert. With his Brown Bear Martial Soul, he could even contend with a rank 35 Soul Expert for a while. Fang Xuan broke through Howard's defense with one strike. How is this possible?"
"It's too terrifying. What a strong sword. This guy's understanding of the sword has reached a very deep level."
Everyone was discussing with astonishment. Fang Xuan defeated Howard with one strike. This kind of strength was too shocking.
It wasn't just the normal spectators and contestants who were staring at Fang Xuan. Even the three Ranked 80 education committee members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin were staring at Fang Xuan with surprise and elation on their faces.
No matter who won or lost in this competition, they were all students of the Heaven Dou Academy. Now that Fang Xuan's performance was so outstanding, they all believed that the academy had produced a rare talent.
They were all very pleased.
"Not bad. This Fang Xuan is very strong. He's far stronger than ordinary geniuses. He's comparable to the top geniuses like Yu Tianheng" Meng Shenji stroked his beard and smiled.
In the entire Central Square, the most shocked one was the Emperor, who was sitting in the VIP seat. Even he could not help but be shocked. Defeating a young Soul Expert with one strike. What did this mean?
It meant that Fang Xuan had great talent and potential. In the future, he might even become a Titled Douluo.
In the past, Xue Ye had never looked at Fang Xuan because of his lowly background and ordinary talent.
But now, because of this stunning sword strike, Xue Ye gradually changed his opinion of Fang Xuan.
For the first time, he began to take Fang Xuan seriously.
"It's all thanks to Father's teachings that he can achieve this much. Congratulations, father" Xue Qinghe looked at Fang Xuan with a deep gaze. His face was full of smiles as he congratulated Emperor Xue Ye.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The fifth prince's future is limitless" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement when he saw Fang Xuan's performance.
As for the rest of the audience, some gave Fang Xuan high praise, while others were gnashing their teeth in anger after seeing Fang Xuan's performance.
"Damn it, that bastard. He's gotten stronger again" Dugu Yan said indignantly.
"Stronger? That's the only way I can defeat him. I'm looking forward to our match, Fang Xuan" Yu Tianheng stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His calm voice was filled with confidence. He was the best in the entire Heaven Dou Academy, so he had the right to be proud.
"This is the so-called good people don't live long, but scourges live for a thousand years …" The silver-haired little Lolita, Ye Lingling, puffed up her cheeks as she stared bitterly at Fang Xuan who was in the arena, and she cursed in her heart.
Because of Fang Xuan's notoriety and poor relations with others, there weren't many people in the entire arena who were truly happy for him. Teacher Ruolan was one of those few.
"This stinking brat hid his strength too well"
Teacher Ruolan's beautiful eyes were fixed on Fang Xuan. She couldn't help but feel excited and ecstatic.
After all, there was an outstanding genius in her class. This was a unique honor for her as an instructor.
In the arena, Fang Xuan's back was ramrod straight. He stood there like a pine tree. His expression was filled with confidence and indifference. He didn't pay attention to the discussions around him. Instead, he focused on listening to the system's notifications.
[Good! Successful Draw]
[Reward: Soul Power * 1]
Immediately after, after the sound of the reward for successfully drawing the sword appeared, a notification sound that Fang Xuan had been waiting for an entire year finally sounded.
[Congratulations, your Drawing Technique has reached the Initial Mastery stage]
