From his perspective, he could completely see it.

This was not just a difference in strength but also a disparity in energy levels!

The energy level Jiang Ye had mastered was above his, which caused such a terrifying momentum.

"Can't drag this out."

"Need to end this quickly." Wanyao Yang thought to himself, putting away all disdain.

His eyes flashed with brilliance.

Innate Ability—Abyssal Gaze!

Anyone under this gaze, unless their Martial Arts Will is far superior, will fall into a brief paralysis.

This unique innate ability of Wanyao Yang is one of the reasons he ranks mid-tier at Northern Domain University.

Relying on this ability, he had defeated opponents stronger than him multiple times.

At this moment.

Wanyao Yang planned to use this ability and in combination with his Ultimate Technique, obliterate Jiang Ye in one fell swoop.

But just as he was about to activate his innate ability in the next instant.

"Boom!!"

A horrific mental onslaught instantly backfired into his mind.

"What?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Ye was relentless.

"Swish!" Like a diving serpent, his lance unleashed a dazzling spear glow, piercing forward with a roar.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered!

"Huh~" Wanyao Yang's figure slowly vanished, and even in his final moments, his eyes were filled with utter astonishment.

...

"Whoa?"

"What's going on? Vanquished with one strike?"

"Did Jiang Ye wipe out Wanyao Yang in one move??" The tens of thousands of spectators in the stands were all stunned.

Although the battle seemed slow, it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Most only saw—Jiang Ye and Wanyao Yang exchanging a few words, then suddenly erupting into combat.

And then...

There was nothing else!

They only saw Jiang Ye's spear strike and directly pierce through Wanyao Yang's neck, activating the protection mechanism and eliminating him.

"Is the disparity this big?"

"Is this Wanyao Yang's true ability? So weak?"

"Or is it that Jiang Ye's strength is too overwhelming?" The students from Star River University were also very serious.

If it were them, defeating a rival like Wanyao Yang wouldn't be difficult.

But executing such a clean and swift kill like Jiang Ye?

Almost impossible.

...

In the center of the square.

"Whoosh!" A figure was teleported out.

It was Wanyao Yang.

"I..."

"Did I get vanquished in an instant?" Wanyao Yang was filled with disbelief: "Vanquished by Jiang Ye?"

He still hadn't come to terms.

In his prediction, this battle should have ended with his overwhelming victory.

But the outcome? Indeed was overwhelming.

But it was he who got overwhelmed!

"How did this guy become so powerful?" Wanyao Yang heard the boiling excitement of the audience and felt increasingly embarrassed.

This time, he truly lost face.

...

In front of the cave ruins.

Jiang Ye furrowed his brows, slowly withdrawing his spear: "So weak?"

"No."

"It's Wanyao Yang's innate ability, Abyssal Gaze."

"Did it backfire due to my Martial Arts Willpower?" Jiang Ye's face showed an odd expression.

At that moment.

He indeed felt a kind of 'Telekinesis Attack' method invading his mind.

But how profound was Jiang Ye's Martial Arts Willpower?

It instantly suppressed and devoured it.

Then witnessed Wanyao Yang freeze on the spot.

"However."

"Even if he hadn't been backfired by it, he still wouldn't be my match." Jiang Ye shook his head: "The power difference is substantial."

The battle just now helped him gauge his own strength.

Even considering basic moves without using Ultimate Techniques was enough to easily crush opponents like Wanyao Yang.

If not, Wanyao Yang wouldn't have prompted his innate ability right after the first clash.

Thinking this, Jiang Ye suddenly smiled.

The rival he once looked up to.

Today, without even noticing, he has left him far behind.

"Jiang Ye!"

"Jiang Ye." Just as Jiang Ye was reflecting, two feminine voices came through.

Jiang Ye turned to look and saw two graceful silhouettes flash by.

A silver-haired, red-eyed girl and a timid yet charming bunny girl.

It was Shen Changxi and Yun Qing'Er.

"Jiang Ye." Shen Changxi landed lightly on the ground, her demeanor aloof and ethereal: "We just heard the sounds of battle, are you okay?"

"Encountered a student from the top ten." Jiang Ye smiled: "Already dealt with it."

"Top ten student?" Shen Changxi's face showed a hint of surprise.

She had just heard the sounds of battle.

It took less than five seconds, and it was over.

That was a top ten student.

Jiang Ye in five seconds? So fast?

"Has this guy's strength increased again?" Shen Changxi couldn't help but take another look at Jiang Ye.

"Jiang Ye." Yun Qing'Er weakly asked: "Where have you been these past few hours? We couldn't find you."

"Looking for me?"

Jiang Ye was stunned, then shook his head: "I was cultivating in seclusion, of course you couldn't find me."

"Cultivating in seclusion?"

"Don't you want those opportunities?" Yun Qing'Er was slightly surprised.

"Opportunities?" Jiang Ye shook his head: "Let them fight for it."

Seeing his generous appearance, Shen Changxi and Yun Qing'Er were both astonished.

No, bro.

When did you become so generous?

"Jiang Ye, don't be complacent." Shen Changxi couldn't help but remind: "Li Qi, Lin Qingxue, and Wang Bo, they have seized quite a few excellent opportunities."

"When the finals begin, their strength will definitely increase further."

"Be careful." Shen Changxi looked at him seriously.

"Got it." Jiang Ye nodded: "Thanks for the reminder."

Li Qi, Lin Qingxue, Wang Bo?

It's time to meet them.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

He really wanted to know, compared to these talents, whether he was stronger or weaker.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the smart wristbands of the three began to vibrate simultaneously.

Jiang Ye and the two girls exchanged glances, all aware of what was happening.

"Beep!" Jiang Ye opened the wristband projection.

"Wow~" Rays of light converged, forming a golden subtitle.

[Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to the finals!]

[Please prepare, about to exit the Mountain River Secret Realm...]

"Is it over?" Jiang Ye showed a look of surprise.

"Several hours have passed, and only over thirty people are left." Yun Qing'Er explained quietly.

Shen Changxi said: "Jiang Ye, you didn't just kill that one person, did you?"

"Seems so." Jiang Ye recalled and nodded.

The two girls glanced at each other, both speechless.

They fought their way here.

But what about Jiang Ye?

Just found a place to hide until now, and what's more, he hid into the finals!

They really didn't know what to say.

Without waiting for the two to sigh for long.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Jiang Ye, Shen Changxi, and Yun Qing'Er simultaneously transformed into a phantom, slowly disappearing.

At the same time.

The remaining dozens of participants in the Mountain River Secret Realm also turned into phantoms and were transported out of the Secret Realm.

In the center of the Secret Realm, among the ten Treasure Mountains.

All sorts of opportunities were almost completely seized.

The next opening of this Secret Realm will be three years later, at that time, these ten Treasure Mountains will again grow new opportunities.

...

Bird's Nest building.

Above the central square, projections slowly dissipated.

"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua..."

Thirty-two participants who advanced to the finals were successively transported to the plaza.

"Li Qi! Li Qi!"

"Wang Bo! You're the strongest!"

"Lin Qingxue is the most beautiful, my wife!"

"Jiang Ye, must win the championship! Penglai is the strongest!" The audience was in uproar, fans from various schools were shouting loudly.

Of course, it was not uncommon for many onlookers to join the cheering squads, having taken a liking to certain participants during the competition.

The scene was a chorus of cheers, deafening.

"It's really lively." Jiang Ye saw this scene, unable to resist a sigh.

The influence of the Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup was indeed significant.

Those coming to watch the contest were not all students, nor were all residents of Donghai City.

Most, came from the ends of the Earth.

Tens of thousands of enthusiastic spectators — such a grand scene, Jiang Ye was witnessing for the first time!

Of course, he knew very well.

The upcoming finals were most crucial.

The champion would not only gain recognition from these tens of thousands of spectators but would also be broadcast across the world via various media channels.

"Champion." Jiang Ye's gaze was resolute.

... Meanwhile, in mid-air, the dashing young man in a black robe, 'Chu Jingye,' appeared again.

"Congratulations to the thirty-two participants for advancing to this year's Genius Cup finals!"
