On the high platform.

Two youthful prodigies stared at each other.

"Twenty-fourth on the initial Celestial Pride List, Wen Zhong."

Wen Zhong made a formal fist and palm salute to Su Tu, each movement precise and proper.

Su Tu also returned the courtesy, speaking with his fists clasped in response to the introduction.

"Fifty-eighth on the initial Celestial Pride List, Su Tu."

"I know your ranking, so what you just said is incorrect."

Wen Zhong looked earnestly at Su Tu, his eyes exceptionally clear.

"Incorrect?"

Su Tu gazed at the person before him with confusion.

Wen Zhong nodded seriously and began speaking.

"Yes, it's incorrect. What you said just now doesn't make sense.

Fifty-eight is indeed numerically greater than twenty-four, but the Celestial Pride List isn't about addition or subtraction; it's not better if the number is bigger."

"My ranking is thirty-four places higher than yours, so saying I can defeat you in thirty moves is reasonable, whereas claiming to defeat me within three punches is not."

Wen Zhong spoke matter-of-factly.

At this moment, the staff from the Martial Arts Department directly announced the start of the duel and then promptly left, as these two were both formidable figures.

The director and deputy director have been missing lately, and they, being just small fry, couldn't afford to cross these two, always striving to minimize their presence.

If they weren't needed to oversee the match, they would have already thought of making a quick exit.

As the staff announced the start of the battle.

Wen Zhong flicked his left hand, his longsword suddenly unsheathed, floating in mid-air, and as Sword Qi crisscrossed, the sound of sword cries rang out.

Su Tu only felt speechless at Wen Zhong's inexplicable words, like a child stubbornly playing house.

However, before Su Tu could ponder more.

Swish swish swish!!!

Streams of Sword Qi light surged from all directions, crisscrossing to form a vast net that blotted out the sky, leaving no escape.

Su Tu watched the net of swords fall without evading.

Boom!!

Countless black lines appeared over him, and on either shoulder, above his head, three black flames seemed to burn fiercely.

Sacrificial Dao Opening!!!

In an instant, Su Tu's aura multiplied several times over.

Like a hurricane, forces swirled chaotically around him.

Wen Zhong looked at Su Tu in disbelief, as Su Tu's overpowering aura suffocated him, and the once overwhelming sword net was torn apart by the terrifying force.

"How is this possible? My teacher said you were still in the First Realm during the Training Camp, and it's only been a few days since it ended. How can you have such a formidable aura!!"

Wen Zhong expressed his confusion.

With a single-handed grip, the longsword flew to his hand, his expression growing serious, for the aura Su Tu emitted was far stronger than he imagined.

Even when facing prodigies ranked in the top ten, Wen Zhong had never felt such pressure.

No longer holding back, his True Qi rippled around him, and as his longsword trembled, Martial Bone opened up, and mysterious sword lights burst forth from within him.

Yet seeing Wen Zhong like this, Su Tu remained unflustered, raising his fist slightly.

His voice remained calm and authoritative, as the Eight-Nine Profound Skill unknowingly unfolded, the golden light mingling with the black Sacrificial Fire, rendering Su Tu enigmatic and majestic.

He seemed like a youthful Celestial Emperor, suppressing everything, his might spanning the universe!!

"I said within three punches, you would lose. Does it make sense now?"

"It doesn't make sense!!!"

Wen Zhong's eyes narrowed, as his longsword turned into a stream of light, bursting with intent around him, his aura changed, and six phantoms appeared behind him.

Each phantom seemed like a Sword Dao master, every gesture imbued with endless Sword Intent.

"Six Swords Inheritance!!"

Su Tu recognized this Martial Bone, known as Inheritance Sword Bone, which grants its possessor the support of six Sword Dao grandmasters when wielding a sword and allows them to comprehend these grandmasters' True Intent during cultivation.

Ranked among the top five in Sword Dao-related Martial Bones.

At that moment, Wen Zhong's sword unleashed the full might of the Six Martial Bone Transformations, feeling Su Tu's strength, he attacked with all his might.

Rumble!!!

With one sword strike, six forms emerged, wielding six distinct, yet immensely powerful, sword moves under Wen Zhong's strike.

In an instant, they neared Su Tu, countless sword lights engulfing him.

However, the three Sacrificial Fires burned steadily, Su Tu's eyes tinged with gold, perceiving the sword light as too slow, too slow.

Gazing at Wen Zhong, he slowly raised his hand, "Three punches to defeat you, does it make sense?"

Word fell.

Rumble!!!

The sky-piercing aura exploded, as the Sacrificial Fire surged wildly, the Emperor Bone opened, four Golden Dragons coiled within, unleashing the Emperor Dao's majesty, a Golden Dragon's roar!!

Countless sword lights were instantly torn apart, then Wen Zhong's grandmaster phantoms behind him were completely obliterated.

Then, a more bizarre scene unfolded.

The six grandmaster phantoms vanished instantly, strangely manifesting behind Su Tu, and the Sword Intent power blessed upon him.

Under the Emperor Bone, all beings bow, your teachers, too, become my tools!!

"Suppress one's True Qi, shake their physique, seize the other's blessings, the Emperor's Might is boundless, that is the Forbidden Bone Appearance, Emperor Celestial Abyss!!!"

"Four Dragons coiling, Four Martial Bone Transformations.... How is this possible, how can this be, he's only been in Mingtiao for how long??"

"Seven days? Or ten days? In such a short time, he transformed Four Martial Bones, and his Bone Appearance is the Emperor Bone."
