Chapter 75

"Rumble—"

In the center of the area, two figures continuously crossed paths, and with each crossing, their fists and legs collided, their kicks and elbow strikes clashing in a series of terrifying attacks. The intense power of these clashes sent gusts of wind rippling through the area, the force of which was dazzling.

In this region of the academy, countless figures had gathered, their gazes fixed on the two figures crossing paths. The powerful sounds of their clashes and the extreme waves of energy they emitted caused the faces of the Star Image Sect disciples, who were just a step away from the fifth level of Body Tempering, to turn grave.

Wang Mo was also standing at the front of the courtyard, his expression serious as he watched the two figures currently engaged in combat. He could see that compared to a month ago, Ye Zhong's strength had clearly improved significantly. Therefore, even after such a long battle, he was still not at a disadvantage.

However, even so, Luo Long was still one of the top ten outer sect experts, ranked fourth! No matter what, Ye Zhong had just entered the fifth level of Body Tempering. Engaging in such intense clashes with Luo Long seemed to offer him no significant benefits.

"Rumble—"

Just as Wang Mo was slightly worried, a powerful clash echoed from the center of the area. The two figures, who had been continuously crossing paths, trembled slightly this time and then almost simultaneously retreated madly to the rear.

At this moment, the sleeve of Ye Zhong's right arm had burst, revealing a powerful, muscular arm. Luo Long's once elegant silver hair was now in complete disarray. Clearly, during their clash, neither had held back.

"You have some skills. That useless Lu Fan is indeed no match for you. However, that's all there is to it!" Luo Long's eyes became more serious. The strength Ye Zhong displayed had surprised him. It seemed that this young man was indeed quite capable.

"Hum—"

In the next instant, Luo Long's eyes suddenly became incredibly sharp. He took a step forward, and his silver hair began to move without any wind. A wave of无形的气势从他体内蔓延而出，尽管他尚未达到武道先天，修炼出灵力，但在这一刻，他仿佛掌握了某种强大的气势。

"Sky-Breaking Black Dragon Slash!"

The mark on Luo Long's hand changed, and a low shout echoed. Blood-red threads spread from his arm, merging with the terrifying aura emanating from his body, forming a shadowy black dragon. A piercing hum accompanied the spread of an extremely sinister energy.

With the appearance of the shadowy black dragon, Luo Long's entire demeanor changed dramatically. At this moment, he seemed like a fierce deity, radiating a piercing aura.

Clearly, Luo Long was using his true trump card!

"Is it actually the Sky-Breaking Black Dragon Slash? It's said that Luo Long obtained this lower-grade spirit-level attack technique during a sect mission! I didn't expect it to be so powerful!" The Star Image Sect disciples around them all showed surprise in their eyes.

"Rumble—"

Amidst their surprised exclamations, Luo Long's cold gaze was locked on Ye Zhong. He let out a low, cold laugh, and the mark on his hand changed. The shadowy black dragon burst forth, like a shadow, hurtling towards Ye Zhong.

The blood-black shadow instantly enveloped Ye Zhong, blocking all his escape routes.

This scene caused many of the surrounding experts to change their expressions. Luo Long's attack was terrifying to such a degree that even a sixth-level Body Tempering expert would struggle to resist. No wonder the top five outer sect experts were said to be incredibly powerful. Just by seeing Luo Long's attack today, one could understand why.

Wang Mo watched this scene with a tense expression. In the face of Luo Long's terrifying attack, Ye Zhong's figure seemed somewhat fragile.

"Ha, so this is our new junior brother Ye Zhong? However, if he can't even block Luo Long's move, it would be a bit of a letdown for his recent fame!" In a distant courtyard, a young man in blue robes stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on this direction, a sense of authority in his eyes.

"Ha, even one of the four princes of the Leitian Dynasty, Kong Xu, suffered a hidden loss at his hands. Senior Brother, if you underestimate him, you might also suffer a loss. I don't want to have any conflict with him right now," the man standing behind the blue-robed youth said, his eyes flickering.

This man was none other than Rong Tian, a core disciple of the Star Image Sect, ranked 17th among the 108 core disciples.

"Oh? Even you hold him in such high regard? Then I want to see what kind of surprise our new junior brother can give us!" The blue-robed youth smiled lightly, his gaze calm.

At the same time, in many courtyards of the academy, others stood on high ground, watching this scene. Most of them were core disciples, with a unique status in the Star Image Sect, and they naturally wouldn't gather with other disciples. However, they were equally curious about this new junior brother.

...

Under the watchful eyes of countless people with various expressions, Ye Zhong's expression remained calm. He watched the terrifying attack hurtling towards him, and from the shadowy black dragon, an extremely terrifying devouring aura emanated.

Seeing this, Ye Zhong suddenly smiled lightly. In the next instant, the marks on his hands changed slightly, and he slowly pointed forward.

"Scarlet Sky Star Image Finger!"

"Rumble—"

As a soft murmur echoed in Ye Zhong's heart, a crimson light suddenly spread from his fingertips. Behind him, a faint starry sky appeared, and from the starry sky, a primordial dragon-elephant stepped out, its foot landing with a massive tremor!

With Ye Zhong's finger, the shadow of the dragon-elephant also burst forth!

At this moment, both combatants were merely ninth-level Body Tempering experts! However, the attacks of these ninth-level Body Tempering experts contained such grandeur, clearly a phenomenon that only spirit-level techniques could produce!

This was the ultimate clash of spirit-level techniques!

"What!?"

In the distance, the blue-robed youth, who had been smiling lightly, suddenly trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Scarlet Sky Star Image Finger! That kid actually knows the Scarlet Sky Star Image Finger!?"

"How is that possible!?"

Even Rong Tian was now in shock! The Star Image Body Tempering Technique and the Scarlet Sky Star Image Finger were two of the three spirit-level techniques that were the foundation of the Star Image Sect. However, even they, as core disciples, had to go through great hardships to have a chance to obtain one of the three techniques!

And this Ye Zhong, how long had he been in the Star Image Sect? His first move was the Scarlet Sky Star Image Finger?

"How is that possible!"

A fierce roar echoed in Luo Long's heart. He looked at this scene in disbelief, his pupils contracting sharply. He never imagined that Ye Zhong could use this attack technique that he had been unable to obtain!

Even the Star Image Sect disciples around them, who had never seen the power of the Scarlet Sky Star Image Finger, had heard of its reputation as one of the three foundation techniques. At this moment, their faces changed dramatically!

"Rumble—"

Everything happened in an instant. Just as everyone was in shock, the primordial dragon-elephant stepping out of the starry sky had already clashed fiercely with the shadowy black dragon.

In the next instant, a deafening roar echoed. In the middle of the two combatants, the black dragon and the dragon-elephant continuously collided, sending out waves of extreme energy that caused the ground to crack with massive fissures.

"Crack—"

This intense clash lasted for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Then, at a certain moment, a massive cracking sound echoed in the area.

"Who won!"

At the moment the cracking sound echoed, the clashing black dragon and primordial dragon-elephant suddenly stopped their movements, causing the area to fall silent. Countless people looked up, not daring to blink.

"Crack, crack—"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the shadowy black dragon. These cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire dragon in just a blink of an eye.

"Boom—"

With a loud explosion, the shadowy black dragon burst apart, disappearing into the air.

At this moment, the primordial dragon-elephant let out a massive roar to the sky.

"You! Can't do it."

Ye Zhong's calm gaze fell on Luo Long again, and he slowly shook his head, then pointed again.

"Rumble—"

The primordial dragon-elephant trembled, stepping out of the starry sky and directly suppressing Luo Long.

The roar of the primordial dragon-elephant sent out an indescribable wave of terror, altering the grand momentum of the world at this moment. The faces of countless Star Image Sect disciples changed dramatically!

Ye Zhong was actually this strong!

Under the massive shadow, Luo Long's face turned extremely grave. His eyes twitched, and envy, jealousy, and hatred intertwined in his gaze. At this moment, his emotions were extremely complex! At the same time, he felt an extreme sense of danger.

For the first time, he no longer felt superior. This new core disciple, whom he had never taken seriously, was now like a towering mountain, making him look up and feel uneasy!

"Ye Zhong, you are strong, but it's not that easy to defeat me!" A hoarse roar echoed, and blood trickled from Luo Long's body.
