Chapter 61: Spiritual Artifact? I Have One Too!

What a huge fire energy—won't you even give me time to prepare?

Everyone followed the direction of the sound and saw Su Yu in a white shirt standing quietly at the edge of the fighting platform.

With a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, he quietly looked at the Stone Ape standing in place.

What! Su Yu actually dodged the Stone Ape's strike!

How is that possible! Although his build limits the Stone Ape's speed, with its Organ Tempering Realm cultivation, its speed is nothing that a Blood Refining Realm person can match!

Hiss, no wonder he dared to take on the Stone Ape's challenge—turns out Su Yu still has a few tricks up his sleeve!

Seeing Su Yu unharmed, everyone couldn't help but praise him.

Of course, where there is praise, there is also mockery.

Hmph, it's just dodging a punch; if I were lucky, I could do it too. I tell you all, you don't really think you can win a platform fight just by dodging, do you?

If that's really the case, you're seriously underestimating the Stone Ape! After all, he's... ninth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!

Everyone's expression slightly tightened.

At that moment, they realized... this is a platform fight!

The platform fight is that big; relying solely on dodging is simply impossible!

The Stone Ape slowly rose to his feet and looked toward Su Yu.

Like a loach, a genius surpassing the Holy Spear Marquis—do you only know how to dodge?

Su Yu shrugged. "What can I do? I'm not even in the Organ Tempering Realm!"

Hearing that, the Stone Ape snorted, "Do you really think I made it to ninth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking just by charging straight ahead?"

Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. "Then why is that?"

The Stone Ape gave a cold laugh, lifted his right foot sharply, then stomped down on the ground.

Instantly, a powerful force surged from the Stone Ape's foot into the ground.

Accompanied by the Stone Ape's angry roar.

Martial technique... Battle in All Directions!

Boom—!!!

As the Stone Ape's voice fell, the entire fighting platform suddenly began to shake violently, the ground rippling like a shockwave.

Hiss, it's actually the Stone Ape's family martial technique, Battle in All Directions!

Battle in All Directions? What martial technique is this? Why haven't I seen this manual in the exchange hall?

Someone who knew the inside story spoke in a low voice.

Battle in All Directions is a hereditary martial technique of the South of the River Stone Clan; although it's only a third-rank technique, if cultivated to perfection, it rivals a fourth-rank technique!

Hiss, could it be that the Stone Ape has successfully mastered this third-rank technique?

Someone exclaimed.

The person who had spoken merely shook his head and then said.

How could a third-rank technique be so easy to master? Even though the Stone Ape is now an Organ Tempering Realm martial artist, without accumulated practice it wouldn't be that easy to succeed.

If he hasn't mastered it, will this move of the Stone Ape be useful against Su Yu?

Someone questioned.

That person smiled slightly and said.

If it were elsewhere, perhaps this move of the Stone Ape wouldn't have any effect, but on the fighting platform... it's enough!

Huh?

Everyone still had doubts, but at that moment, the entire fighting platform was instantly enveloped by a powerful force.

Instantly, sand and rocks flew across the fighting platform.

Namely, the people present were all Blood Refining Realm experts; their vision was decent enough to barely make out two figures on the fighting platform.

This is....

Someone's pupils suddenly contracted.

And the person who had spoken earlier smiled slightly and said.

Battle in All Directions has never been just a single-target martial technique; what it excels at is ultimately group effect!

As that person's words fell, the fighting platform instantly formed a ring of flying sand that rapidly closed inward!

On the fighting platform, Su Yu's brow furrowed slightly.

Meanwhile, opposite him, the Stone Ape gave a feral grin and stared at Su Yu.

Do you really think relying on your speed alone can leave me helpless?

Today I'll let you know what true strength of the top ten on the Heavenly Pride Ranking is!

The Stone Ape suddenly snatched up the huge wolf-tooth club from the ground; spiritual qi instantly surged into it.

One could see that the wolf-tooth club likewise glowed with ripples of spiritual qi.

A spiritual artifact!

The wolf-tooth club in the Stone Ape's hand turned out to be a spiritual artifact!

A first-rank spiritual artifact!

Hiss, it's actually a first-rank spiritual artifact—now Su Yu has even less hope!

Someone sucked in a breath of cold air.

You should know, obtaining a spiritual artifact is extremely difficult even for an Organ Tempering Realm expert.

And the Stone Ape, as a newcomer to the Organ Tempering Realm as a martial artist, actually possessing a spiritual artifact shows just how hard that is,

Yeah, even the lowest-grade first-rank spiritual artifact can double the wielder's combat power—looks like this battle has no suspense!

Many people, upon seeing the Stone Ape's spiritual artifact in that instant, directly determined the nature of this battle.

Ah, I originally thought Su Yu could still hold on a while, but as the Stone Ape's trump card appeared, Su Yu completely lost any chance of winning!

Too bad!

Someone shook their head and sighed.

On the stage, Su Yu looked at the Stone Ape's Wolf Tooth Club Spiritual Artifact, his brow slightly twitched.

A Spiritual Artifact?

I have one too!

Su Yu's murmuring voice rang out.

Many people's expressions changed slightly as they looked toward Su Yu.

All that could be seen was Su Yu's hand, where the Hurricane Blade slowly appeared.

However, due to the lack of Spiritual Qi, the Hurricane Blade could not display its true prowess.

Isn't this the weapon Su Yu used against Shi Sword before? Could it also be a Spiritual Artifact?

Someone exclaimed.

To be frank, a first-rank Spiritual Artifact, without its activation, looks no different from an ordinary weapon.

Even now, no one could tell that Su Yu's Hurricane Blade was actually a Spiritual Artifact!

The Stone Ape's face darkened as it let out an angry roar.

Damn Spiritual Artifact, watch me cleave you this fake!

He couldn't believe that Su Yu's Hurricane Blade was also a Spiritual Artifact; after all, to obtain a Spiritual Artifact he had spent much time and effort.

And yet a mere fresh graduate actually possesses a Spiritual Artifact.

This made the Stone Ape extremely displeased!

In an instant, the Stone Ape struck, its huge Wolf Tooth Club smashing straight at Su Yu.

And Su Yu merely raised the Hurricane Blade!

Thud!

The sound echoed across the stage, drawing the attention of many.

How is it? Did Su Yu's blade break?

To be frank, they also couldn't believe Su Yu could have a Spiritual Artifact.

You know, in the Heavenly Pride Battalion, even those instructors—only instructors at the Golden Body Realm can possess a first-rank Spiritual Artifact!

And as the smoke slowly cleared, Su Yu stood straight in place, his right hand slightly raised, firmly blocking the Stone Ape's strike.

And that Hurricane Blade remained unharmed!
