Barely dodging a lethal strike, Shi Chun narrowly avoided Chao Zhilin's sword but did not escape a hit from the Silver Radiance Knight.

Struggling to twist his body to evade, he was still a bit slow, and a blood-curdling gash appeared on his cheek from the blade that straddled the line between illusion and reality.

As the Silver Radiance Knight passed beneath him, he counterattacked midair with a slash, striking its back.

Boom! Another Silver Radiance Knight appeared to the crowd's eyes and burst into a vast fog of silver mist.

Chao Zhilin, momentarily suspended in midair, saw his spellcasters annihilated but was not surprised, thinking them capable of killing Guan Wen and Yan Ji, and therefore breaking his own spellcasters was naturally within reason.

Caught in another web, the spider silk around him tightened instantly, snapping back into place.

Invisible to others, Shi Chun saw it clearly, the moment his foot touched the ground, he burst forth with force.

To the onlookers, just as Chao Zhilin regained form, he suddenly became a shadow again, his streak of light narrowly missing Shi Chun's dodged spot.

By now, whether it was Wu Jinliang and Xiang Laner or the people before the capital's training ground mirror, none knew Shi Chun had not been slain by that sword, nor that he had miraculously avoided that terrifyingly fast strike.

Elder Ke wore a look of astonishment—the disciple's strength surprised him.

Yin Huixin murmured while staring at the screen, "His cultivation has broken through to High Martial."

After saying this, she realized it wasn't just about breaking through to High Martial, as none of the High Martial Realm disciples from Wukang Mountain could withstand such a terrifyingly fast strike.

As Chao Zhilin suddenly appeared to the crowd, Shi Chun saw him caught in another web.

Shi Chun's form was still unsteady when he swept his blade along, realizing the blade passed through the unbroken strands of spider silk, something again caught between illusion and reality. Instantly, he applied the Bath Demon Skill to the blade of the No Demon Blade and slashed again.

This time, his blade moved softly like a feather, soundless, and effortlessly cut through the spider silk.

This made him realize, if it weren't for the No Demon Blade, he probably couldn't have forced those Silver Radiance Knights into material form to slay them. If it were anyone else facing those knights, killing them would be ineffective, their horror unimaginable.

Meanwhile, he rapidly leaped to another direction to evade, the shadows and streaks of light narrowly missed the spot once more, whipping past with astonishing speed.

Shi Chun quickly swung his blade a few more times, silently cutting through more spider silk.

At the same time, closely watching Chao Zhilin's movements on the web, he immediately moved to dodge upon spotting an angle.

This time, however, he added a move, dragging his blade across the ground to blast a wave of soil and rock.

Bang! The passing light image directly penetrated it.

Through this move, Shi Chun identified his opponent's vulnerability—Chao Zhilin's speed was so fast that not only could he not see clearly enough to dare to block, but Chao Zhilin also couldn't alter his technique mid-path due to his speed.

Yet, he did not capitalize on this weakness but retained it as a reserved tactic.

His goal was not to defeat Chao Zhilin, but to search for any potential means to defeat his opponent. After evading, he continued to slash the web with his blade.

As soon as he landed, he burst forth, and a shadow streaked with light whipped past once more.

This back-and-forth of attack and evasion almost stifled the breaths of many watching through the capital's screen.

It wasn't because they were biased for Shi Chun, but because the attacker's speed was so rapid that each defense was hair-raisingly narrow—this process too thrilling, making them unconsciously worry for him, silently screaming in their minds each time a sword was swung.

Yet it wasn't over, and then they inwardly cried again and again, as he narrowly escaped time after time.

Hidden in her cloak, Feng Chi clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, tense to the extreme for Shi Chun.

Opening her eyes, Miao Yilan first gauged everyone's reactions before trying to look back at the screen, only then realizing that Shi Chun was still alive, and upon seeing his predicament, became extremely anxious.

In everyone's eyes, Chao Zhilin was like a series of shadows and streaks of light, continuously darting around the screen from all directions, relentlessly attacking, while Shi Chun seemed like a top constantly whipped to dodge and turn everywhere.

One's movements were too fast to discern, and although Shi Chun's reactions were quick, his actions remained visible to all; yet their ceaseless offense and defense made it difficult for the audience to grasp the actual situation, like where injuries might be.

A continuous onslaught of attacks unable to bring Shi Chun down left Elder Ji Qinghe of the Su Yuan Sect looking extremely grim.

His nearby disciples were full of shock, unable to believe that someone could handle so many moves of Chao Zhilin's "Body Sword" at such cultivation levels, unsure of what type of evasive technique Shi Chun practiced to be so dodgy.

Even Gong Shaoci, at this moment, had her focus shifted from Miao Yilan, completely engrossed in the battling images of the screen.

Leaning back in his chair, Life Continent Domain Master Wei Mo had slumped to one side, rubbing his beard across his mouth, eyes still glued to the screen.

Damn it—the participants from Life Continent at the Sky Rain Meteor Conference actually included someone who could face-off with a disciple from the Su Yuan Sect for so many moves.

Even knowing Shi Chun had seriously injured the opponent before the confrontation didn't lessen his anxiety.

Other attending Domain Masters were also engrossed in watching.

"Watching two youngsters fight even gives me a thrill,"

a Domain Master muttered while changing his sitting posture.

As for Wu Jinliang and Xiang Laner, who were present at the scene, they were tremendously anxious, each breaking into a cold sweat for Shi Chun.

Wu Jinliang was slightly better, but Xiang Laner already had a shocked look in her eyes. She hadn't expected Shi Chun to be able to fend off so many of Chao Zhilin's attacks with his clumsy movements.

It was too risky, constantly risky. Unable to hold back, Xiang Laner asked the person next to her, "Should we step in to help?"

Wu Jinliang replied hesitantly, "Chun Tian has been enduring for so long without a word, which means he doesn't need help, and it seems he can still hold on."

Although he said that, the attacks were indeed terrifying. Compared to them, Shi Chun's evasive actions were too clumsy. He reflected whether his habit of being the first to charge in Life Prison should change, as the methods of fighting in the High Martial Realm really differed from those in the Initial Martial Realm.

The phantom sword light continuously attacked back and forth.

After going back and forth around two hundred times, suddenly while jumping up to a spider web, Chao Zhilin realized his body swayed, causing him great alarm.

Rolling to dodge and quickly touching the ground, with a glance from the corner of his eye, Shi Chun also turned his head to see Chao Zhilin's exposed weakness in a moment, and immediately leapt towards him.

The opponent's weakness was created by him. It was the result of cutting off the spider silk during the two hundred dodges.

The spider web that Chao Zhilin had caught onto again was already broken in several places at the edges and could no longer form a ricocheting force.

Shi Chun figured it out. Chao Zhilin, the spellcaster, could adjust the spider silk by sensing it, but his eyes couldn't see the silk.

Shi Chun also didn't want to dodge anymore.

After dodging more than two hundred times, he hadn't seen Chao Zhilin come up with any new tricks. He guessed the other party's tactics were limited and couldn't squeeze out any more.

Upon seeing an opening, he immediately rushed to counterattack.

At such a distance, he moved instantly, though not as fast as the opponent's striking speed.

As Chao Zhilin, hanging in mid-air, realized something was wrong and heard the swooshing sound and looked up, Shi Chun had already soared above him, hands wielding a blade furiously chopping down.

Many secretly praised his courage, knowing the terrifying speed of the opponent's charge, yet daring to immediately counterattack upon seeing the slightest instability—what could that be if not courage?

This was finally a true head-on confrontation between the two, with everyone watching breathlessly.

Life Continent Domain Master Wei Mo, continuously rubbing his hands across his mouth, had stiffened as if pressing firmly on it, his eyes glued to the changes on the light screen.

As soon as he looked up and saw his opponent bearing down on him, Chao Zhilin dared not hesitate, he broke the spell, abandoned the spider web, and fell to the ground, but the flying Shi Chun followed with a furious slash, which he desperately blocked using his full cultivation.

Boom! The blade slashed, the sword sealed, and an explosive sound thundered.

Chao Zhilin stepped back to stabilize himself, the ground under his feet rippling like shockwaves and the dust swirling, the sword in his hand blown open by the explosive force, striking his own chest. As it hit his chest, he grimaced, managing to brace himself, though his badly wounded body was barely holding up, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Despite being severely injured, his force, fueled by his high-level martial arts cultivation even in desperation, was still remarkable.

The full-force blade from Shi Chun had literally lifted him up, flipping over his head.

The blood-misted and fierce-faced Chao Zhilin, raising his sword from in front of his chest and without looking, simultaneously turned and swung his sword diagonally toward the space behind him.

Shi Chun, having passed over his head, also twisted his body and swung his blade backward.

Before their eyes could meet, as Chao Zhilin's gaze touched the figure behind him, he felt a blur in his vision.

He felt no pain, but his head had already flown off his neck.

His sword braced against his chest and raised again to strike from behind, but ultimately, he was a step slower than Shi Chun who had moved over his head.

Of course, more importantly, his injuries were indeed severe, the back and forth killing over two hundred times also seriously depleted him, dulling his reactions.

Blood sprayed high as it burst under pressure.

The sword in his hand, trembling behind him, seemed to point toward Shi Chun, who stood with his sword horizontally, back facing him.

The rolling head stopped not far from Shi Chun's feet.

Shi Chun turned to look, since discovering that the opponent's tricks were limited, from the moment the opponent had declared himself a follower of the Demon Path, he had not intended to spare his opponent's life, letting him mix among a crowd was truly inappropriate.

Blood rained down, the trembling body collapsed in the rain of blood, his hand finally released the sword, the fingertips twitching.

Xiang Laner stared blankly.

Wu Jinliang, however, sighed in relief as if a burden had been lifted.

Only then did everyone see that deep, bloody gash on Shi Chun's cheek, his shoulder and chest stained red, his chest heaving with breaths, after all, he had been dodging more than two hundred times consecutively.

Silence fell over the royal training grounds, no sound of birds or insects, as everyone stood as if petrified.

Crack!

Life Continent Domain Master Wei Mo abruptly slapped the armrest, rising up, head up and chest out, he took a deep breath, flung his sleeves behind his back, his expression spirited.

His movement caught the attention of other domain masters; although they heard nothing, it seemed as if they too heard him applauding.
