Is this the power of the Top Talent List’s eighth-ranked?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her ice ability carries a chilling deathly aura — far more troublesome than ordinary ice techniques!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Kui’s defense was like paper against her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zhan’s eyes also showed approval: “Ye Lingxi, wins! Next, Ling Zhantian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Zhantian had long been impatient; he roared and leapt onto the platform, his battle aura boiling: “Top Talent List No. 17, Sun Mang! Come fight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent, Sun Mang, wielded a metal-based ability, at the mid-stage of the Martial Sovereign realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were close-combat aggression types; as soon as they clashed, fierce exchanges erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Zhantian’s ability, combined with the “War” character he had comprehended from the Dao Book, granted him the trait of growing stronger with each battle; his bloodline surged like a rainbow, radiating an unstoppable momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Mang initially managed to land wounds on Ling Zhantian thanks to his realm advantage, but as the battle dragged on, Ling Zhantian’s aura grew ever stronger, his attack power, defense, and recovery all steadily rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“War God Manifestation!” A war god’s spectral figure, dozens of zhang tall, appeared; Ling Zhantian gathered all his strength and unleashed a punch, the fist wind tearing through the air with a thunderous crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Mang crossed his arms to block — “CLANG!” — the metal on his arms instantly cracked; he was blasted backward, stumbling until he finally collapsed onto the ground, forced to concede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ling Zhantian, wins!” Lei Zhan nodded; he greatly admired Ling Zhantian’s fighting style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came Wang Shichen, who faced Su Qing, ranked No. 16 on the Top Talent List, a mid-stage Martial Sovereign with a wood-based ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wood-based abilities excel at control and recovery, making them extremely troublesome in wilderness or team battles, but they struggle to shine in one-on-one duels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shichen recognized this, his gaze calm as he maintained distance from his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his spatial ability to snap the vines entangling his foe, constantly creating small spatial traps to restrict Su Qing’s movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Su Qing, worn down by Wang Shichen’s elusive spatial tactics and drained of spiritual energy, was struck from behind by Wang Shichen’s summoned Jian Jun sword, sent tumbling off the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Shichen, wins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following sparring matches concluded one after another, and soon it was Wang Teng’s turn to step onto the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng took a deep breath, gazing at Zhou Hao below, who had been watching him with contempt, and declared loudly: “Report, Instructor! I challenge Zhou Hao, ranked ninth on the Top Talent List!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the entire arena erupted in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Teng is challenging Zhou Hao? He’s ranked seventy-seventh, challenging ninth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if he’s a potential A-class recruit, the gap is too enormous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Hao is late-stage Martial Sovereign; Wang Teng is only late-stage Great Martial Master — isn’t this just asking for a beating?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao leapt onto the platform, sneering at Wang Teng: “Fatty, Itachi still have time to surrender — save yourself the tears later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng, who had been slightly nervous, was instantly provoked; his temper flared: “Enough talk! Today, Fatty will show Itachi why the flowers are so red!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zhan frowned slightly, looking at Wang Teng: “Wang Teng, are Itachi certain? On the sparring platform, injuries are inevitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng nodded firmly: “Certain! Instructor, grant us permission to fight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine! Then the sparring begins! Stop at the point of victory — no intentional maiming or killing!” Lei Zhan warned Zhou Hao with a sharp glance, then announced the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fengdu Secret Incantation — Ghost Shadows Multiply!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng did not hesitate; he immediately cast the incantation, and dozens of his illusions appeared on the platform, confusing Zhou Hao’s vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he condensed a Soul Reaper’s Scythe in his hand, standing ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao’s strength was indeed formidable; his late-stage Martial Sovereign cultivation firmly overshadowed Wang Teng’s, and his metallic claws swiftly shredded the illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lunged forward, forcing Wang Teng into constant retreat, who could only parry with the Soul Reaper’s Scythe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that all Itachi’ve got? Do Itachi even deserve to be in Class A?” Zhou Hao mocked, pressing his assault harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, I’m going all out!” Wang Teng gritted his teeth, a look of resolve flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fengdu Secret Incantation — One Hundred Ghosts March at Night!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the platform was filled with howling dark winds; countless blurred ghostly figures materialized, shrieking horribly as they surged toward Zhou Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ghosts weren’t particularly powerful, but their numbers were overwhelming, and their mental interference made Zhou Hao increasingly irritated, slowing his speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trivial tricks!” Zhou Hao’s body blazed with golden light; his claws slashed, tearing apart the approaching ghosts one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the instant he was clearing the ghosts, Wang Teng seized his opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul Devouring Scythe — Deploy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out the Soul Devouring Scythe he had just acquired at the auction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pitch-black scythe, radiating chilling deathly energy, appeared in his hand and fused with his Soul Reaper’s Scythe; his aura surged violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Cui Jue’s eyes widened slightly in surprise — he hadn’t expected this fatty to master such a weapon so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Catch this! Nether Slash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng poured all his power into the Soul Devouring Scythe; a sickle-shaped shadow wrapped in gray-black mist slashed toward Zhou Hao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao’s expression changed — he sensed real danger from this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed his ability to its limit, crossing his claws to block; golden light coalesced into a thick shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Slash struck the golden shield with full force; gray-black mist clashed violently with golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hao was shoved back several steps; cracks appeared on the shield, but he ultimately held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, out of tricks, are Itachi?” Zhou Hao sneered, preparing to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng’s heart sank; he quickly gathered new incantation marks in his hands: “Let me test my new technique on Itachi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eight Secret Incantations — Yin-Yang Secret Incantation — Burn Life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of resolve crossed his eyes; his hands moved rapidly through seals, and an aura far darker, far more perilous than before erupted from his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual energy instantly turned chaotic and violent; strange gray-white incantation runes surfaced on his skin, radiating a terrifying energy that burned his life force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura began climbing at an unnatural speed, instantly breaking through the late-stage Great Martial Master barrier and surging toward the Martial Sovereign realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fatty, stop!” Jiang Xia’s face turned pale; he clearly sensed Wang Teng’s life force being ignited as fuel.\u003C\u002Fp>",1304,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1af260b2dc48767c1b4069432847e3d7d5cc3e8526337546346bcf7e8e930df1","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-84","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-82",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
