"Yes!"

"We cannot afford to lose!"

"Go all out and fight him to the death!"

The remaining eleven also roared furiously. If they lost here, they, the so-called heavenly talents, the so-called prodigies, would undoubtedly become the greatest laughingstock of the Holy Temple.

The people in the crowd held their breath, not daring to blink, terrified of missing the next moment.

ROAR!!

CLANG!!

One by one, Battle Souls soared into the sky. There were weapon Battle Souls! There were ferocious beast Battle Souls! And there were a few rare natural element Battle Souls. Natural elements included Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Dark, Wind, Thunder, Lightning, and so on.

"For glory!"

"For dignity!"

"Kill!" Dongfang Yue shouted.

Fifteen Battle Souls unleashed heaven-shattering auras, roaring as they swooped down upon Qin Feiyang.

Deep within the Holy Temple, atop a mountain range, a pair of sisters stood against the wind. One wore a long purple gown, the other a vibrant, multicolored gown; both possessed faces of peerless beauty. These two were the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion and the Chief Hall Master of the Holy Temple.

Both women gazed towards the martial arts arena.

The woman in purple chuckled. "Sister, do you think he can win?"

The woman in the colorful gown pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly. "He probably can!"

The woman in purple said, "Don't say 'probably'; 'probably' means uncertainty. Sister, how about we make a bet?"

"Bet on what?" the woman in the colorful gown asked, puzzled.

The woman in purple said, "I bet he will definitely win. If I'm right, you'll expel him from the Holy Temple."

The woman in the colorful gown was stunned. "And then your Treasure Pavilion will extend an olive branch to him?"

"Yes." The woman in purple nodded and smiled. "Do you dare to bet with me?"

"You wish." The woman in the colorful gown rolled her eyes at her and whispered, "I wouldn't dream of letting go of such a talent."

Upon hearing this, the woman in purple shook her head and chuckled, though a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes.

「Martial Arts Arena!」

The fifteen Battle Souls radiated an overwhelming presence! The disciples below couldn't help but feel their hearts pound with trepidation. But Qin Feiyang remained calm, without a trace of tension.

My Battle Soul... since it awakened, it has never been revealed to others.

Today, I will let you shine brightly! Qin Feiyang muttered to himself.

CLANG!

A metallic clang exploded, like the unsheathing of a peerless divine sword, shaking heaven and earth! Even before the Battle Soul fully materialized, an astonishingly sharp aura began to permeate the surroundings.

"What's happening?" Everyone was startled.

Suddenly!

A crimson battle sword rose into the sky from behind Qin Feiyang. It was over ten meters long, its entire form wreathed in flames. Not only was it incredibly sharp, but it also emanated a palpable ferocity!

"Is this his Battle Soul?"

"It seems like an ordinary Battle Soul, so why do I feel such dread?"

"Why do I get the feeling that a peerless, ferocious beast is sealed within that battle sword?"

Everyone was filled with bewildered surprise.

Qin Feiyang gazed at the Battle Sword, pointed a finger at the fifteen opposing Battle Souls, and smiled. "Go, display your splendor!"

CLANG!

The Battle Sword vibrated in mid-air, transforming into a dazzling streak of light as it rushed towards the fifteen Battle Souls.

As it drew near!

A colossal flaming beast roared and burst forth from within the Battle Sword. It was merely an outline, its true form indiscernible. However, the moment it appeared, the ferocious beast Battle Souls on the opposing side couldn't help but tremble. They seemed terrified, as if they had encountered the king of all beasts!

ROAR!

CLANG!

The flaming beast roared! The Battle Sword sang!

Together, they advanced like descending kings, unstoppable, crushing everything in their path as if it were rotten wood! Before them, the Battle Souls of Dongfang Yue and the others were like infants, utterly defenseless!

In the space of a few breaths, all fifteen Battle Souls were annihilated!

At the same time, the bodies of the fifteen men also trembled violently, a trace of blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Is this real?" The disciples below stared, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Although Battle Souls varied in strength, this man's Battle Soul was too outrageously powerful, wasn't it? You know, Dongfang Yue and the others were rare monstrosities. Naturally, their Battle Souls were not weak. Yet, against this man's Battle Soul, they possessed no power to resist whatsoever! Just who in the world was this extraordinary figure?

Quite impressive. Qin Feiyang mused. He was very satisfied with the power of the Crimson Sword Soul. And the Innate Divine Ability of the Crimson Sword Qi was indeed that flaming beast. Even he didn't know exactly what the flaming beast was. But he could clearly sense that the flaming beast's strength was far from fully revealed; more of its potential was yet to be unlocked.

He looked towards Dong Cheng, Shao Hong, Shao Jian, and Dongfang Yue, a cold light glinted in his eyes!

ROAR!

The flaming beast roared at the sky and swooped down on Dong Cheng and Shao Hong!

CLANG!

At the same time, the Battle Sword spun sharply in the air, carrying an astonishingly sharp edge as it slashed towards Dongfang Yue and Shao Jian!

"What's going on?"

"Why is he specifically targeting Shao Jian's group of four?"

"Does he have a grudge against them?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"Damn it!" The expressions of the four changed drastically. They immediately unleashed their Battle Skills, summoned their Battle Souls, and roared as they charged the flaming beast and the Battle Sword.

Seeing this, the remaining eleven quickly retreated to the side, their eyes also full of doubt.

BOOM!!

Though the Battle Sword and the flaming beast had split their attack, their power hadn't diminished in the slightest. The Battle Souls and Battle Arts of Dongfang Yue's group collapsed one after another!

Seeing the situation turn dire, the four promptly retreated.

The Battle Sword and the flaming beast struck the martial arts arena with ferocious might, and half of it was instantly reduced to ash and smoke!

"Such a powerful Battle Soul!" Everyone was dumbfounded.

Merely one Battle Soul had rendered the four powerless to fight back. It was too incredible! Dongfang Yue's group was also utterly terrified. Luckily, they had dodged in time; otherwise, they might have suffered Lu Ziyuan's fate.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Shao Jian glared fiercely at Qin Feiyang and snarled, "What is the meaning of this?"

"The meaning?" A cold sneer touched Qin Feiyang's lips. "You may have forgotten, but I haven't!"

He waved his hand, and the flaming beast retracted into the Battle Sword. The Battle Sword also spun in mid-air, transforming into a streak of light before returning to his Qi Sea.

Everyone assumed the battle was over.

But Qin Feiyang pointed out again, and a surge of crimson Sword Qi, like a roaring tide, burst from his fingertip.

CLANG!!!

Accompanied by a piercing metallic shriek, four sword images materialized in the air.

"Returning Origin Sword Art—Annihilation!" Qin Feiyang bellowed.

The four sword images blazed with a fire that lit up half the sky, howling as they shot towards Dongfang Yue's group!

"Don't meet it head-on! The Returning Origin Sword Art is also a perfect-grade Battle Art!" Dong Qing cried out.

"What?" A great shock filled the hearts of Dongfang Yue's group.

He's actually mastered three perfect-grade Battle Arts!

The four were thrown into a panic. Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. From the depths of their hearts, a profound despair surged uncontrollably, engulfing their minds and bodies. They even forgot to dodge the sword images!

Just as they were about to be struck down by the sword images, with a mere thought from Qin Feiyang, the four sword images swerved, exploding on the ground beside the four!

BOOM!!!

The ground cracked apart, revealing four massive chasms! Dust and ash billowed, obscuring the sun!

Dongfang Yue and the others were instantly blasted away. Although the sword images hadn't struck them directly, the terrifying Sword Qi still lacerated their flesh, sending blood flying everywhere!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Finally, they tumbled to the ground, engulfed by dust and ash!

"Are they dead?" Everyone stared at the area shrouded in dust.

Yan Nanshan looked at Qin Feiyang, a sense of utter helplessness washing over him. Whenever this young rascal returned, State City knew no peace. He swept his great sleeve, and a gust of wind howled, dispersing the dust.

Dongfang Yue and his companions were revealed. The four of them lay in a pool of blood, grievously wounded and on the verge of death. Their faces were ashen, and an unshakeable terror filled their eyes!

It's good they're not dead. Yan Nanshan noted their condition and sighed inwardly with relief. However, their injuries were so severe that they clearly wouldn't recover anytime soon.

"Too strong!"

"Before him, these acclaimed prodigies were nothing more than ants!"

The disciples in the audience surveyed the wrecked martial arts arena and the gravely injured quartet, sighing in dismay.

Qin Feiyang looked at the other eleven. "Do you still wish to continue?"

The eleven exchanged glances, bitter smiles on their faces. They had exhausted all their efforts, yet they hadn't managed to harm a single hair on his head. Was there any point in continuing?

The eleven turned, helped Dongfang Yue's group up, and walked off the arena platform.

However, at this moment, Qin Feiyang's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile.

The real show is just beginning!

Shao Jian suddenly turned back and questioned Qin Feiyang, "What did you mean by what you said earlier? What is it that I've forgotten?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "You'll know soon enough."

Shao Jian gave him a deep look, then turned and stumbled off the martial arts arena.

"Truly spectacular!" Lv Yun stood up, laughing and applauding.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

The disciples below followed suit, erupting in applause. One man against twenty-eight prodigies, ending in a complete victory. Such a feat was enough to be immortalized in legend!

"Oh, right!"

"Does anyone know his name?"

"No idea."

"I don't know either."

"What's going on?"

"Why does nobody know?"

"Even if he kept a low profile before, someone should know his name, right?"

The crowd began to stir again.

Hearing the discussions, Lu Xingchen's eyes flickered. He cupped his fist towards Qin Feiyang and said, "Might I be so bold as to ask for your esteemed name, sir?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Give me the Potential Elixir first."

"No."

"We must first confirm if you are truly a disciple of the Holy Temple."

"If you are not, not only will you be denied the Potential Elixir, but we will also charge you with the grave offense of trespassing in the Holy Temple!" Shi Ming stated in a deep voice.

Qin Feiyang said, "Then ask Elder Lv whether I am a disciple of the Holy Temple or not."

"He is a disciple of my Elixir Palace," Lv Yun affirmed without hesitation.

"Really?" Shi Ming frowned.

Lv Yun raised an eyebrow and snapped, "Enough of this nonsense! Give him the Potential Elixir!"

"Hmph! If I find out you're helping him conceal the truth, then don't blame me for turning ruthless!" Shi Ming snorted coldly, took out a jade box, and tossed it to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang caught it and opened the box. The Potential Elixir was instantly revealed to all.

Instantly, all the disciples below fixed their gazes on the Potential Elixir, their eyes filled with fervent longing. Dongfang Yue and the others also looked on with envy.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the surrounding disciples, then at Lu Xingchen and Dong Qing, finally letting his gaze rest on Shi Ming.

"This thing? I couldn't care less." The corner of his mouth lifted. He grabbed the Potential Elixir, threw it directly onto the ground, and with a single stomp, crushed it to powder.
