Chapter 784: Entangled Battle! The Might of Eighth-Tier Upper-Level!

"Hm? How is this possible!"

"He blocked it! He really blocked it!"

The audience seats erupted into an uproar as well.

This group of sixth-tier and seventh-tier ability users all stared blankly at the scene.

They knew SS-grade abilities were powerful, but they hadn't expected them to be powerful to this extent.

"An SS-grade ability can actually let a seventh-tier mid-level Xu Jingming fight head-on against an eighth-tier upper-level A-grade grand master?"

A guild member who was also seventh-tier mid-level couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

For him, forget eighth-tier upper-level.

Even just a seventh-tier upper-level, one minor tier higher, possessed crushing dominance over him in actual combat!

"An SS-grade ability is only one factor; Xu Jingming's strength is formed by the combination of multiple aspects."

A seventh-tier peak master shook his head, pointing at Xu Jingming on the holographic projection as he spoke:

"See that phantom image above his head? That's an SSS-grade combat technique, which greatly amplifies Xu Jingming's strength.

Additionally, Xu Jingming's teacher is Su Qingli of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

Su Qingli has an SS-grade Spirit Refining Art; Master Wu only has an S-grade Spirit Refining Art.

Xu Jingming must have cultivated his Spirit Refining Art to an extremely high level, with formidable spiritual power.

That's why the combat techniques he executes are no less powerful than Master Wu's."

"So that's how it is."

The person who had spoken earlier suddenly understood, then pointed with some puzzlement at the nearly boiling golden lightning around Xu Jingming:

"What are those? Could they also be the effect of that SSS-grade combat technique?"

Many people had noticed Xu Jingming's lightning domain, but limited by their knowledge, they weren't sure what it was.

"I'm not sure either, probably should be." The seventh-tier peak master said hesitantly.

The seventh-tier masters in the audience seats didn't know what it was, but could Chairman Leng Cang and Wang Tai, who were eighth-tier peak grand masters, not know?

That was the power of a domain!

"A domain?"

Chairman Leng Cang's face was full of shock.

From when he entered eighth-tier peak until now, it had been roughly twenty-plus years.

Yet he had only mastered a domain just five years ago.

And what level was Xu Jingming?

Only seventh-tier mid-level!

"A monster! This is truly too monstrous!" Chairman Leng Cang, ninety-six years old this year, had seen quite a few prodigies.

But only now did he realize that those prodigies were nothing in front of Xu Jingming!

"It's actually the power of a domain. It seems for this martial hall exchange tournament, our Great Xia can try to fight for first place."

Wang Tai's gaze flickered as he silently thought to himself.

Although he would also enter the Yell Secret Realm, their main purpose was to pick exotic flowers and herbs.

The final results of the martial hall exchange tournament still depended on Lei Ting Wu Guan and Violent Bear Wu Guan for the main scores.

With Xu Jingming so powerful, Lei Ting Wu Guan's results this time definitely wouldn't be bad.

"What? He actually blocked it?"

Wu Xuan's eyes widened; he hadn't expected his Sky-Splitting Blade to ultimately result in such an outcome.

In other words, Xu Jingming was an opponent on the same level as himself!

Thinking of this, the shock in Wu Xuan's heart was quickly replaced by solemnity.

He understood that if he wasn't careful from here on, this match could very well be flipped!

"Although he blocked my Sky-Splitting Blade, you can see that his lightning-type combat techniques are slightly weaker in power than mine.

And I'm eighth-tier upper-level, he's seventh-tier mid-level; my ability endurance is far longer than his!

If I drag it out, I'll definitely win! But I need to be careful not to let him get close."

As an eighth-tier upper-level grand master, Wu Xuan was undoubtedly experienced.

After steadying himself, he once again pulled distance from Xu Jingming, bombarding from afar with wind-type combat techniques.

And Xu Jingming naturally refused to be outdone.

Sky Thunder Art, Lei Shen Zhi—one after another, devastating spell-type combat techniques were thrown out in succession.

For a time, terrifying wind blades and lightning ravaged the entire city.

The original neon city was reduced to ruins in just a few dozen seconds.

And the people in the audience seats outside had long been stunned.

In their impression, Xu Jingming had always focused on the spear, and his close-quarters combat was terrifying.

But only now did they realize that Xu Jingming was also an extremely terrifying elementalist!

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Over ten minutes later, accompanied by a piercing shriek, one cyan and one golden figure flew past each other over the virtual city.

Swoosh—

A cyan wind blade came sweeping in; Xu Jingming's figure flashed, the wind blade grazed past him and slammed into the city below.

Completely shattering a building that had already been half-broken.

"I've already replenished my ability three times; the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan only has one last chance to replenish ability.

In other words, in the next three minutes, if I can't defeat Wu Xuan, the one who loses will definitely be me..."

Xu Jingming, maintaining his high-speed flight, had his thoughts racing at top speed.

Simultaneously maintaining Lei Shen Jiangshi, the thunderstorm state, and the lightning domain drained him enormously.

Of the four opportunity charges for the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan's special ability, he had already used three.

And Wu Xuan's mobility was too high—his Lei Shen Zhi and Thunder Dragon techniques couldn't land a hit at all.

The Sky Thunder technique could hit, but its power wasn't strong enough to pierce through his shield.

"As expected, anyone who can break through to an upper-tier eighth-rank ability user is not someone to be trifled with."

Xu Jingming's eyes locked onto the cyan figure flying ahead. "If only there were some way to slow down his flight speed."

The A-rank technique Lei Yu is a restriction-type technique, but its power is too low.

Once the Lei Yu took shape, Wu Xuan used his wind-type shield and simply charged straight through, tanking the Lei Ting damage.

It couldn't serve any restriction purpose at all.

"The SSS-rank Wan Leitian, although it's an area-of-effect technique—

under the dense barrage of thunder, it should also slow down Wu Xuan's speed.

In other words, this technique can very likely be used as a restriction-type technique!"

Xu Jingming quickly thought of a plan.

No sooner said than done. While in high-speed flight, his mind stirred, and the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan behind him began spinning wildly!

Boom boom boom~~~

The muffled thunder rolled outward, and dark clouds suddenly gathered above the entire city, the light instantly turning dim beyond compare.

Did it turn dark?

Just as the spectators in the stands were wondering, a suppressed, oppressive aura descended from the sky.

As if some peerless fierce beast were hidden within those dark clouds!

The next moment.

Everyone's eyes lit up—brilliant golden radiance suddenly blazed to life in the dim city ahead!!

Lei Ting!!

A Wang Yang-like expanse of thunder came pouring down over the entire city.

This city of more than twenty square kilometers was, in an instant, swallowed whole by the violent golden Lei Ting!

And Xu Jingming's sturdy figure, bathed in thunder, did not pause for even a moment as he charged toward Wu Xuan!
