Chapter 17

Being in the new book period, I humbly request my brothers and sisters to give some collections and recommendations. Just a light touch of your fingers is the greatest support for me. Thank you! There will be another update today, so don't leave!

Inside the arena, Xu Ziyang finally couldn't withstand Xu Hualing's fierce attack. Xu Hualing's advantages and momentum gradually accumulated with each attack, which was precisely the wave-upon-wave technique of the Xu family. Each move she made would add to the power of the previous one. In just a short while, Xu Hualing had already launched eight moves. The power of these eight moves combined and suddenly burst forth from her palms.

Affected by her controlled cultivation, Xu Ziyang tried her best to dodge, but ultimately failed to avoid it. With no choice, she had to meet the attack with her own palms.

A loud explosion echoed, and although Xu Ziyang's cultivation was high, she was still sent flying. Her body was suddenly hurled into the air, tumbling as she landed and staggered backward.

She forcefully stabilized her stance by pushing off the ground with her right foot. Looking up, she saw Xu Hualing's figure streaking through the sky like a meteor, rushing toward her. A flurry of leg shadows appeared in the air, like a moving mountain pressing down on her.

Xu Ziyang knew that with her Sixth Layer of the Later Heaven cultivation, it was impossible to defeat Xu Hualing. If she couldn't stop Xu Hualing's attacks and allow her to fully unleash her potential, she would surely lose. But Xu Ziyang didn't want to lose, and she couldn't afford to lose.

"Since the Sixth Layer of the Later Heaven won't work, then let's try the Seventh Layer!"

Xu Ziyang's feet pushed off the ground, and her figure rapidly retreated. While retreating to dodge the flurry of leg shadows, she forced her blood and qi upward, her face turning red. Then she suddenly released her true qi, making a breakthrough in the midst of battle.

"She's about to break through!" Xu Hualing, her opponent, was the first to sense this. Shocked, she accelerated her attacks. Her figure moved even faster, leaving a trail of afterimages, and her leg shadows became even more rapid, cracking the air like whips.

"She's about to break through!" The teachers on the balcony simultaneously showed surprise, then looked at the civilian beside them with strange expressions, each thinking:

"Is this the person you don't think highly of?"

"She's about to break through!" The veteran disciples watching from the sidelines were simultaneously stunned, a thought crossing their minds:

"Is this for real? This is too fake! She can break through while being hit?"

"She's about to break through!" The new disciples were shocked, then overjoyed. As long as Xu Ziyang didn't lose today, they wouldn't be humiliated by the veteran disciples. Their fates were now tightly linked with Xu Ziyang's. They couldn't help but cheer loudly:

"Go, Sister Ziyang!"

"Go, Leader Ziyang!"

Xu Qinxue watched Xu Ziyang, who was continuously retreating, with a mix of emotions. She felt happy, envious, and extremely conflicted. Her expression was complex as she looked at Xu Ziyang in the arena.

Seeing that her imitation of a breakthrough was almost complete, Xu Ziyang suddenly spread her arms and let out a long, clear howl that pierced the clouds. Her aura surged, and she instantly elevated her cultivation to the peak of the Seventh Layer of the Later Heaven, as if she had truly broken through.

Her figure shot up from the ground like an arrow, and she kicked fiercely at Xu Hualing's leg shadows in the air. A series of "thuds" echoed as Xu Ziyang and Xu Hualing's legs clashed dozens of times in an instant. Then both figures were suddenly sent flying backward and landed on the ground.

After landing, neither immediately re-engaged in battle but glared at each other. From their facial expressions, it was clear that the dozens of leg strikes had caused them great pain.

"Impossible!"

This was Xu Hualing's inner voice. Breaking through during a battle was already shocking, but Xu Ziyang not only broke through from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh Layer but also directly to the peak of the Seventh Layer, on the verge of breaking through to the Eighth Layer.

"This is impossible!"

The teachers on the balcony were all stunned, the same thought crossing their minds. Could there really be such a talented person who could break through like this? If she could continue to cultivate like this, would she be able to surpass Zhou Hao and Yang Linglong in a few years? Such a talent must not be allowed to get hurt. They exchanged glances and suddenly rushed down the stairs, heading for the square outside the hall.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

This was the collective voice of the veteran disciples outside the arena. Their faces showed not only shock but also fear. They thought in fear:

"If this is true, will they still have a place in the outer hall in the future?"

They all knew that even if Xu Ziyang really broke through to the Seventh Layer and defeated the Ninth Layer's Xu Hualing, it wouldn't be a problem. The true experts of the outer hall were not here. In the four guilds, their guild leaders were all at the peak of the Twelfth Layer of the Later Heaven, and there were also experts at the Eleventh and Tenth Layers. It wouldn't be difficult to deal with Xu Ziyang.

However, Xu Ziyang, with her Sixth Layer cultivation, was already one of the more advanced new disciples. Now, on her second day in the outer hall, she had broken through to the Seventh Layer, and not just that, but directly to the peak of the Seventh Layer, during a battle.

As a result, Xu Ziyang would certainly become a key cultivation target for the family. From now on, she would no longer be someone the outer hall disciples could bully at will. If given a few years, who in the outer hall would be her match?

"Is this a dream? Is this real?"

This was the collective voice of all the new disciples: "She really broke through!"

Xu Ziyang and Xu Hualing faced each other. Xu Hualing's eyes showed surprise. She hadn't expected that Xu Ziyang, with her Sixth Layer cultivation, could dodge her attacks and even withstand her eight consecutive strikes. More surprisingly, she broke through to the peak of the Seventh Layer after the strikes and immediately chose to fight head-on without dodging, and from her expression, she hadn't suffered any disadvantage. As a result, Xu Hualing's aura unconsciously dropped by two layers.

On the other side, Xu Ziyang, seeing that she could withstand the attack with her Seventh Layer cultivation, felt more confident. In fact, Xu Ziyang didn't realize that although she controlled her cultivation at the Seventh Layer, her body's functions had improved with her cultivation level. Even without using true qi, her body's resistance at the Second Layer of the Qi Condensation stage was not something a Ninth Layer of the Later Heaven could easily injure. Otherwise, she would have been injured by Xu Hualing's attack when she was at the Sixth Layer.

With renewed confidence, Xu Ziyang's eyes burned with the flames of battle. Her fighting spirit, which was a manifestation of her soul power, not the release of true qi, soared to the Twelfth Layer of the Later Heaven. Her fighting spirit surged toward Xu Hualing like a mountain.
