Inside the Jiuding Secret Realm.

The Ten Saints Grand Competition was proceeding in full swing.

For the first two days, on the Wendao Academy's side, Chu Feng's group of disciples had not made a move.

Early on the third day, from within the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty, a handsome young man slowly walked out.

Holding a long sword, he shouted loudly toward the Wendao Academy's camp: "Shi Xuan, I am here. Do you dare to fight me?"

This loud shout attracted the gazes of countless people.

When everyone saw that the direction of this kid's challenge was actually a disciple of the Wendao Academy, faces revealed curious looks one after another.

Amidst the crowd, someone murmured: "The name Shi Xuan sounds very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere?"

"Shi Xuan, that is the disciple of the Qiankun Great Sage. Back then, the Qiankun Great Sage struck across the two saints right here in the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty just to stand up for his disciple. I still remember it to this day."

"Hiss..."

The surrounding cultivators instantly took a cold breath of air upon hearing these words.

A personal disciple of a Saint is not something ordinary geniuses can compare to.

Even the Saint Sons of the various major holy lands are not necessarily personally taught by Saints.

"This kid has huge guts to actually dare challenge a follower of a Saint."

"Who says he doesn't?"

"..."

On the Wendao Academy's viewing platform, Chu Feng and his group saw this scene and looked at Shi Xuan in unison.

Cao Youqian teased: "Little junior brother, the cause you sowed that day has finally borne fruit today."

Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Isn't this a good thing? I was just wondering if this guy wouldn't dare come to fight me."

He stood up, bowed toward Chu Feng, and said: "Master, this disciple will go out first."

"Mm."

Chu Feng nodded slightly. He also wanted to see if his disciple, who was a destined major villain, could defeat the Shi family's destined son.

Shi Xuan took a step forward, standing in the air and looking down at Shi Hao from above.

He said: "Shi Hao, you have finally come. This seat has been waiting for you here for a long time."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present smelled a somewhat unusual scent.

Many people started discussing one after another.

"Do these two have some grudge?"

"Looking at the appearance, the grudge is not small."

"..."

The discussions of the crowd could not affect the two people at all.

Shi Hao slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand: "Shi Xuan, the grudge between you and me will be settled here today. Regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, the disaster will not involve family members. Do you dare to fight?"

"Why would I not dare?"

Shi Xuan smiled and said: "It just so happens that it lets me see what kind of sword technique you have learned at the Sacred Dao Academy over these ten-plus years, giving you the courage to fight me."

"Make your move, lest this seat makes a move and you don't even have a chance to fight back."

Arrogant, too arrogant!

Upon hearing these words, everyone wanted to substitute for that young man named Shi Hao to test just how strong this Shi Xuan was.

However, Shi Xuan indeed possessed the capital to be arrogant.

Just ask, among young people, who could be taken in by a Saint and become their personal disciple without being arrogant?

Someone like Shi Xuan, whose fame was not prominent, was actually the odd one out.

Within the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty, countless pairs of eyes stared fixedly at Shi Xuan.

Even though Shi Xuan said back then that he would not return to the Northern Wasteland to inherit the throne of the Northern Wasteland King, they did not wish for a Saint to appear in the Northern Wasteland Dynasty either.

If Shi Xuan and Shi Hao were both wounded here, and neither had any hope of becoming a Saint, that would be the best result.

It would also not waste the Sacred Dao Academy's cultivation of Shi Hao over these years.

Only a beautiful silhouette watched Shi Hao's back, tightly clasping her hands together and silently praying in her heart: Brother Shi Hao, you must win, you must come back alive.

Hearing Shi Xuan's words, Shi Hao's expression changed slightly, and the aura on his body burst forth accordingly.

A pressure of the Unity Realm instantly covered a radius of dozens of miles, even shrouding Shi Xuan within it, making it impossible for him to escape from under his pressure.

"Shi Xuan, do you know what I hate most about you?"

"Say it and let's hear?"

Shi Xuan was not in a hurry to make a move either, asking back with a calm face.

"What I hate most is this aloof look of yours, as if everything I possess is something you bestowed upon me."

The more Shi Hao spoke, the more powerful the aura on his body became.

A ray of Saint Light shrouded him, and that Saint Light manifested a black dragon dharma image floating behind him.

"Saint Body Great Completion!"

The onlookers present were all top-tier experts on the Xuanzhou Continent, and they saw Shi Hao's extraordinariness at a glance.

Saint Body Great Completion means that when Shi Hao reaches Nirvana, he will at least be able to awaken a divine body.

If he has great fortune, he might even be able to awaken an immortal body.

"You actually have quite a bit of self-awareness."

Shi Xuan spoke with a calm face, just as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

"Hmph!"

Shi Hao let out a cold snort: "Today I will pull you off the altar and tear off your hypocritical mask!"

"If you have that ability, it's not impossible, but relying on just this Saint Body Great Completion of yours is probably not enough."

As Shi Xuan spoke, divine light shone on his body, and the aura of the Unity Realm was also released accordingly.

The pressure originally shrouding him was instantly broken by the aura on his body.

With this comparison, the superiority and inferiority of the two were immediately apparent.

Everyone did not speak, but their evaluation of Shi Xuan rose a few points.

The big shots of the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty saw this scene, and their faces were somewhat ugly.

This kid Shi Xuan was growing faster than they had imagined.

Exactly how does that fellow Qiankun Great Sage cultivate his disciples?

Seeing this, the girl's face instantly turned deathly pale.

But in the next second, she sensed something was wrong.

Why did Shi Xuan's aura give her a feeling of deja vu, as if she had felt this aura somewhere before?

As the party involved, Shi Hao remained unchanged in expression, instead revealing a look of excitement.

The stronger Shi Xuan was, the more heartily and thoroughly he could fight this upcoming battle.

Clang!

Shi Hao suddenly pulled out the precious sword in his hand, pointing it at Shi Xuan, and said: "Draw your sword. Even a Nirvana Realm cultivator might not be able to block this sword strike of mine."

Shi Xuan smiled, saying unhurriedly: "You wouldn't be comparing me, a follower of a Saint, with those Nirvana cultivators in the mortal world, would you?"

"Still with the hard mouth, next I'll let you witness my sword strike!"

As Shi Hao spoke, the sword in his hand stabbed toward the direction where Shi Xuan was.

"Dragon Roar in the Nine Heavens!"

Clang!

The sword came out, and a true dragon appeared!

Shi Hao's sword intent turned into a true dragon and whistled toward Shi Xuan.

Sword might and dragon might mixed together, causing countless cultivators present to be astonished.

"Sword Intent Great Perfection!"

"It's the third day, and finally a disciple with Sword Intent Great Perfection has appeared!"

"The Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty has produced a genius here. Having just reached the Unity Realm and already cultivating sword intent to Great Perfection, given time he will surely become a Great Sage!"

The big shots of the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty saw this scene and nodded in satisfaction as well.

No matter how strong Shi Xuan was now, he would only end up mutually wounded with Shi Hao.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

After saying this, Shi Xuan casually pulled out the long sword in his hand and waved it handily toward the true dragon formed by sword intent...
