Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian felt an immense joy in his heart, and his face involuntarily flushed with anger. "Hmm, kid, don't let me see you, or I'll make sure you wish you were dead. But I also have to thank you; if you hadn't scared Naijia away, I wouldn't have gotten such a good miraculous medicine, nor would I have reached the Mysterious Heaven Realm so quickly and attained the Half-Step Transformation Realm! Heaven has treated me well; truly, it's not bad."
When Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian returned to his cultivation room, all the representatives of Tai Dou Pavilion were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that the person before them was Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was full of vigor, with a heart that embraced the world and an imposing demeanor that completely swept away the despondency of the past two days. Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had already reached the Half-Step Transformation Realm!
Xiao Fei, Crimson Hair, and Little Red Fish were even more shocked because they understood better than anyone the difficulty of breaking through to the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
Xiao Fei hesitantly asked, "Brother Xuanyuan, how did you do it? How did you break through to the Half-Step Transformation Realm in just half a day? Did you eat some kind of precious medicine?"
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian casually replied without revealing the truth, "I suddenly had an epiphany about cultivation, so I went with the flow and was fortunate enough to break through to this level. I really didn't mean to show off in front of you."
His words were very tactful, but his face was filled with pride and disdain.
Now Xiao Fei, Fire Red Girl Hu Hui, and Little Red Fish were no longer in his eyes. He began to look towards the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, wanting to see how many people there would be who could challenge him!
Xiao Fei and Fire Red Girl Hu Hui, along with Little Red Fish, were particularly sensitive individuals; they could sense Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's contempt for them and decided to leave one after another.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian watched their retreating figures and snorted through his nose without saying anything. His greatest wish now was to find that person—the one who had humiliated him—and show him what Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was capable of!
That guy seemed to belong to the Crimson Fire Family. Fine then, he would endure for now; as long as he encountered him in the Arena, he would give him a good lesson so he would know what regret felt like, what humiliation meant, and what it was like to wish he had never acted that way!
However, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's sudden rise in strength gave Tai Dou Pavilion even greater momentum; they seemed to have become the biggest competitors for the Ranking Match championship!
The strength of Tai Dou Pavilion quickly spread throughout Dolarful City in the Southern Xing Empire, and this was intentionally orchestrated by some individuals. They wanted Tai Dou Pavilion to become the target, the bird that sticks its head out.
Lat's Hand also heard these rumors and angrily told Jin Xi, "That Tai Dou Pavilion, I see they are all bad people, even that red-haired girl is involved. It’s easy to imagine they are all villains. If we encounter them, we must show no mercy. As for that Half-Step Transformation Realm, I really want to fight against it. I have no idea what a Half-Step Transformation Realm is like or what kind of Combat Power it can achieve."
Jin Xi was surprised and seriously told Lat's Hand, "The strong ones in the Transformation Realm are not opponents for either of us. You must understand that the Mysterious Heaven Realm only manipulates the power of the domain, so we both have domains and can only use them, while the Transformation Realm can harness the energy of heaven and earth. The difference between the Mysterious Heaven Realm and the Transformation Realm is like the difference between heaven and earth."
Jin Xi sighed and then said, "Now I just wonder if Senior Brother can contend with a Half-Step Transformation Realm."
Lat's Hand casually remarked, "If we can't do it, then Guan Yue will find it difficult too. I never expected that Xuanyuan would have such good fortune to reach the level of Half-Step Transformation Realm so quickly."
At that moment, Guan Yue suddenly received messages from Huangfu Jiayin and Gao Yuxin. They had also heard about Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian breaking through to Half-Step Transformation Realm overnight. This was a monumental event in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain and had spread across various factions and empires. However, both of them believed that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian must have consumed Five-Flavor True Water and Spirit Void Liquid to achieve such a breakthrough overnight. They specifically reminded Guan Yue to be cautious and ensure that Five-Flavor True Water and Spirit Void Liquid did not fall into anyone else's hands; otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
Upon receiving their messages, Guan Yue couldn't help but admire their wisdom. It was certainly Naijia who had given her Five-Flavor True Water and Spirit Void Liquid to Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, allowing him to reach such a level. Half-Step Transformation Realm was indeed rare in the entire Dragon Python Celestial Domain!
Thinking of Naijia made Guan Yue's heart ache slightly, but at this point, she decided to let her go; let her fend for herself. Whether right or wrong, everything would be blown away by the wind; looking back now, they were already like strangers.
The Crimson Fire Family team led the losers' bracket with overwhelming strength, while Tai Dou Pavilion swept through the winners' bracket effortlessly.
On this day, Tai Dou Pavilion finally encountered the Nanyue Sect team.
This was essentially a battle for first place in the winners' bracket.
What everyone was most concerned about was actually the match between Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Feng Zhi Yi. They all wanted to see if Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian could defeat the long-established Feng Zhi Yi after his breakthrough.
Everyone unanimously agreed that their battle could be considered a Climactic Battle of the younger generation. Even Lei Zhenxiao, who had already been eliminated, came to watch the match; he wanted to see what kind of Combat Power this newly emerged Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian at Half-Step Transformation Realm could achieve!
The official match between the Tai Dou Pavilion and the Nanyue Sect finally began.
As luck would have it, in the preceding matches, both sides were strong teams, and the score remained tightly contested. Although the Tai Dou Pavilion had four capable warriors, the Nanyue Sect, as the only super sect, was not to be underestimated. As fate intertwined, by the time Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Feng Zhi Yi took the stage, the score had already reached a tie of four to four!
If Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian could win this round, with Xiao Fei still remaining, victory should be within reach. However, if Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian lost, it could lead to a tie and a potential rematch, which would be difficult to predict.
For their honor, both Feng Zhi Yi and Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian were determined to fight fiercely!
Recently, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had broken through to the Half-Step Transformation Realm, and Feng Zhi Yi was quietly preparing for this match.
Jin Xi and Lat's Hand came to watch the match between Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Feng Zhi Yi; they even placed bets. Lat's Hand bet on Feng Zhi Yi to win, while Jin Xi bet on Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
Other competitors from different representative teams also watched the match. The spectators had to buy tickets, but even that couldn't stop the enthusiastic audience eager to witness the Climactic Battle. Most of them came to cheer for Feng Yan Yi, the beautiful Saint Fire.
When Feng Zhi Yi and Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian appeared in the Arena, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.
The men waved flags and shouted for Feng Zhi Yi, while passionate young women cheered enthusiastically for Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian. The cheers rose and fell in waves, lasting for a long time.
As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian immediately launched an attack, aiming to defeat Feng Zhi Yi in the shortest time possible to enhance his own glory.
Feng Zhi Yi, however, had more practical experience and had already thought through her strategies carefully, allowing her to respond calmly.
Once they began fighting, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian advanced cautiously while Feng Zhi Yi danced around like a butterfly, making it difficult for him to catch her trace. It was clear to any observer that this would be a protracted battle. Who would ultimately emerge victorious was still uncertain.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian indeed struck with thick power and impressive force; Feng Zhi Yi dared not confront him head-on. Yet she moved like a startled rabbit, graceful and at ease. Both showcased their strengths as they fought diligently against each other.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was focused on speed, while Feng Zhi Yi knew that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's attack power was extremely strong, so she was looking for ways to counter it. She was also searching for the right moment to deliver a heavy blow to Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, aiming to completely shatter his championship dreams.
At the same time, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was pursuing his own dream; he wanted to utterly destroy Feng Zhi Yi's arrogance and trample her underfoot, thereby establishing his own prestige.
Feng Zhi Yi could not afford to lose, while Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had to win!
However, Jin Xi and the others realized a fact: Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's attack power was indeed very formidable, with wide and powerful strikes using his Greatsword. In contrast, Feng Zhi Yi relied on her agile movements and footwork to contend with Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
Feng Zhi Yi was indeed as light and nimble as the wind! There was no denying it.
Lat's Hand imagined himself in Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's position; if he were under such an attack, he could only withstand about ten strikes. At that moment, he truly became aware that the Half-Step Transformation Realm was indeed very powerful.
Lu Ziang now needed to look up to Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian. He felt proud of him, after all, they both hailed from the Yongning Continent. In a sense, his victory would also be his own victory. Lu Ziang even longed to fight alongside Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, forming a united force from the Yongning Continent, allowing everyone in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain to recognize the strength of their homeland.
The surface of Feng Zhi Yi's body began to glow green as she started using the Saintly Green Fire. At the same time, she was preparing to employ the Dismemberment Technique.
She had identified Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's weakness and was ready for her final strike.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had never fought against Feng Zhi Yi, nor did he know what the strange green fire surrounding her was for. He only became more vigilant, preventing any sudden attacks from her. He was confident that he could completely crush any of Feng Zhi Yi's offensive methods! By this point in the battle, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had lost all patience; he wanted a quick resolution. Meanwhile, Feng Zhi Yi kept moving sideways, delaying their direct confrontation. When he noticed her inclination to engage him directly, he became excited—finally, they could settle this.
Just as Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was caught between hope and anxiety, Feng Zhi Yi unleashed her strongest attack. Utilizing both the Saintly Green Fire and the Dismemberment Technique, she dazzled Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, overwhelming him with a tremendous force that pressed down on him like an avalanche. He began to retreat step by step, completely stunned; he had underestimated Feng Zhi Yi. He never expected her to possess such immense power, rivaling that of a practitioner in the Half-Step Transformation Realm. Under her full-force strike, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian suffered severe injuries!
