Wang Ruoxie's body gradually exuded an overwhelming sword aura.
Since Tang Liren repeatedly said that if he used his full strength, he could easily injure or even kill him, then he would let the other party know that if he unleashed his peak battle potential, he could completely crush him.
"Wang Ruoxie, take another punch from me. This time, you will know how formidable I am when using all my strength."
Tang Liren shouted coldly, and then the aura on his body surged crazily, even faintly emitting an emperor's spirit, as if transformed into the ruler of a nation.
In the next instant, a dazzling golden light gathered behind him, eventually forming a giant humanoid phantom.
"Emperor's Divine Fist, emperor descends to the world, the fist determines the land."
With Tang Liren's shout, the giant humanoid phantom suddenly smashed out a punch.
The massive golden fist, carrying terrifying power, blasted towards Wang Ruoxie.
This punch seemed to be Tang Liren's ultimate attack, containing all of his True Qi and all the national fortune he could borrow.
Therefore, the power of this punch was much stronger than the previous one.
Like a small mountain, the golden fist descended from the sky, almost covering half of the battle platform.
The violent fist pressure made those around feel as if they were about to suffocate.
"What a terrifying punch."
"The power of this punch might be enough to kill a Half-Step Innate."
"If hit by this punch, can Wang Ruoxie survive?"
...
Everyone was shocked and exclaimed repeatedly.
Among the crowd, Qin Heng and the people from the Beast Taming Sect all had cold smiles in their eyes, confident that under this punch, Wang Ruoxie would undoubtedly die.
"Wang Ruoxie, quickly surrender, you can't withstand this punch."
"Ruoxie, surrender."
Zhou Wenzhi, Xiao Ningyue, Tang Miaoyin, and Zong Yuzhe all had their expressions change. If Wang Ruoxie forcefully took this punch, no matter how strong his body was, he was very likely to be completely destroyed.
"Surrender?"
Wang Ruoxie naturally heard the voices of Zhou Wenzhi and Xiao Ningyue, but how could he possibly surrender?
Tang Liren's punch was indeed strong, but it was not impossible for him to withstand it.
Without further hesitation, Wang Ruoxie fully activated the True Qi within his body, while simultaneously using the Blood Burning Secret Technique, instantly burning three tenths of his Qi and Blood, unleashing three times the battle power in a short time.
"Buzz..."
The sound of a sword hum echoed through the heavens and earth, and the surrounding space was filled with a violent sword aura.
In the next moment, endless Sword Qi howled out, instantly transforming into a blood-colored giant sword, violently striking towards the golden fist.
"Boom..."
Amidst earth-shattering roars, the blood-colored giant sword instantly shattered the golden fist, which then broke into pieces and ultimately vanished completely.
And the blood-colored giant sword of Wang Ruoxie continued to slay towards Tang Liren.
"How is this possible?"
Tang Liren's face changed dramatically, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He originally thought that his punch was enough to severely injure or even directly kill Wang Ruoxie, yet he never expected that the opponent could unleash such a terrifying sword to easily break his attack.
Feeling the terrifying power contained in the blood-colored giant sword coming to slay him, Tang Liren's eyes flickered continuously, his face pale and uncertain, and he finally uttered three words: "I surrender."
As the last word fell, Tang Liren seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Although extremely unwilling, he knew very well that he lost this battle, and even if he continued to fight, it would only be self-humiliation.
"I said before, as long as someone can take my move, I will give up the first place. Now, I surrender, the first place is yours."
Taking a deep breath, Tang Liren showed a faint smile on his face and said to Wang Ruoxie.
"Shameless hypocrite."
Upon hearing the words, Wang Ruoxie's eyes showed disdain, mocking in his heart.
Speaking as if the first place was really given to him by the opponent.
However, he didn't bother to expose him, turned around, and walked off the battle platform.
"Wang Ruoxie, today's humiliation, I, Tang Liren, will remember. I will definitely make you pay back tenfold in the future."
Tang Liren's gaze fixed on Wang Ruoxie, a trace of sinister color flashed quickly, but he soon hid it again.
He turned around, a gentle smile on his face, and walked off the battle platform as if he didn't care about admitting defeat just now.
"Second Prince truly has a gentleman's demeanor, doing what he says."
"Although the Second Prince has lost, in my opinion, if he hadn't fought to fulfill his promise, there's still a chance to reverse the outcome."
"Indeed, Wang Ruoxie must have used some secret technique just now to unleash extraordinary power in a short time, therefore suppressing the Second Prince. As long as the Second Prince held on, once the effect of the secret technique wore off, Wang Ruoxie would definitely lose."
...
Many people spoke, deliberately raising their voices, afraid Tang Liren wouldn't hear.
Whether Tang Liren really surrendered to fulfill his promise or because he found himself unable to withstand Wang Ruoxie's sword and surrendered to avoid embarrassment, they would say so.
Because Tang Liren was not only a top-tier Half-Step Innate master but also the Second Prince of East Victory Kingdom. If a few pleasant words could earn the Second Prince's goodwill, why not?
Hearing these flattering voices, the smile on Tang Liren's face grew more intense.
It seemed that although he lost the first place by surrendering, he at least garnered quite a bit of praise.
Perhaps it won't be long before his reputation as the gentlemanly Second Prince would spread throughout the entire East Victory Kingdom and even the entire Eastern Domain.
These words, said to flatter Tang Liren, Wang Ruoxie naturally heard, but he was entirely unaffected.
Yet most people were utterly shocked and unable to regain their composure for a long time.
"Unexpectedly, the Celestial Sword Sect produced such an extraordinary genius. With cultivation at the Seventh Layer of Element Transformation Realm, he defeated the Second Prince with top Half-Step Innate strength. His strength is likely infinitely close to the Innate Realm."
"Once he steps into the Innate Realm in the future, he will surely look down upon those of the same level. In the Innate Realm, it will be nearly impossible to find someone capable of standing against him."
"If he grows, he could at least ensure the Celestial Sword Sect's fortune remains prosperous for a thousand years."
...
Many high-level figures from various forces were discussing with astonishment.
"Ruoxie, congratulations,"
After Wang Ruoxie returned to the crowd, Xiao Ningyue smiled at him and said.
"Wang Ruoxie, achieving the top position on the Hidden Dragon List, you will soon become famous throughout the East Victory Kingdom."
Tang Miaoyin also smiled and said.
Even Zong Yuzhe smiled at Wang Ruoxie, saying, "Congratulations."
"Wang Ruoxie, I didn't expect you to win such glory for the Celestial Sword Sect. Once we return to the sect, I will definitely propose to the Sect Leader to reward you greatly."
Zhou Wenzhi spoke to Wang Ruoxie with a joyful smile.
Many around them also congratulated him.
Before the Hidden Dragon Assembly started, who would have thought that Wang Ruoxie, with a cultivation at the Seventh Layer of Element Transformation Realm, could win first place in the Hidden Dragon Assembly and be ranked at the top of the Hidden Dragon List?
