Chapter 62: No More Play, Defeat Shi Yuan!

Hurricane Blade... remains unharmed!

In an instant, the entire arena fell completely silent.

Many people stared intently at the Hurricane Blade in Su Yu's hand, noting how ordinary the Hurricane Blade was without Spiritual Qi to drive it.

But it could withstand a hit from a Spiritual Artifact.

They all knew that.

Only a Spiritual Artifact!

And now, Su Yu's Hurricane Blade has done that; what does it prove?

It shows that Su Yu's Hurricane Blade truly is a Spiritual Artifact!

A genuine Spiritual Artifact!

"Sss, I didn't expect Su Yu to still have a Spiritual Artifact! If I recall correctly, in the exchange hall even the weakest first‑level Spiritual Artifact requires points to redeem, right?"

"This Su Yu..."

Everyone simultaneously fell silent.

At first we thought Su Yu was just a bit more gifted, but who could have known his foundation was so massive!

"You should know, Shi Yuan had to expend great effort to obtain this Spiritual Artifact, so where did Su Yu get his Spiritual Artifact?"

Some even still hesitate to admit that the Hurricane Blade in Su Yu's hand is indeed a genuine Spiritual Artifact!

"Hmph, even if it's a Spiritual Artifact, what of it? At most it narrows the weapon gap. Don't forget, Shi Yuan is at the Organ Tempering Realm! That's Shi Yuan's fundamental advantage!"

At that moment, a cold sneer rang through the crowd.

Many bodies trembled slightly, and only then did they suddenly recall.

Shi Yuan, however, is at the Organ Tempering Realm!

It's not that they forgot; Su Yu's recent duels never gave him the disadvantage, which created a false impression.

Su Yu and Shi Yuan are on the same level!

Having been reminded, everyone shook their heads.

"What a pity, if Su Yu were at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, he might still have a fighting chance, but now, being only at the mid‑stage of the Blood Refining Realm, he certainly cannot match Shi Yuan!"

That statement earned the agreement of many.

After all, the gap between the Blood Refining Realm and the Organ Tempering Realm is that obvious!

On the arena, Shi Yuan stared fixedly at Su Yu's Hurricane Blade, his expression turning sour.

We thought that with his own Spiritual Artifact he could completely defeat Su Yu.

But it turned out Su Yu also produced a Spiritual Artifact.

That's like slapping himself in the face!

"I didn't expect your foundation to be so robust!"

Shi Yuan spoke slowly, his expression now completely calm.

But those familiar with Shi Yuan know that when he shows this expression, he is truly serious.

The previous Shi Yuan... had not yet exerted his full strength!

Boom—boom—boom!!!

Suddenly, the entire arena erupted with a violent roar, as if something had exploded.

Shi Yuan's body seemed, for some reason, to become a few inches taller; his already over‑two‑meter frame now appeared even more upright.

Thud!

Shi Yuan suddenly stepped forward, and the ground cracked instantly, fissures spreading like a spiderweb!

"Shi Yuan is getting serious now!"

"Now Su Yu is truly finished!"

Many, seeing this scene, sighed inwardly for Su Yu.

However, at that moment, Su Yu's smile at the corner of his mouth slowly faded.

"I originally wanted to play with you a bit, but who knew you couldn't handle it—so let's begin!"

Su Yu said lightly, and the Hurricane Blade in his hand instantly burst with a red radiance.

"What? Su Yu actually activated a Spiritual Artifact? Could it be that Su Yu is also at the Organ Tempering Realm?"

Someone, watching Su Yu's movement, let out a startled shout.

However, a few sharp‑eyed observers spotted a clue.

"No, that red glow looks like Spiritual Qi, but in fact it's Qi and Blood!"

"A Spiritual Artifact normally requires Spiritual Qi to activate, but when Qi and Blood are strong enough, it can barely be driven as well!"

"Sss! How come I never heard that? Supposedly Qi and Blood must be that strong to activate a Spiritual Artifact!"

Someone asked.

Soon, someone began to explain.

"At minimum... one must reach the peak of the Blood Refining Realm!"

"What! You mean Su Yu has already ascended to the peak of the Blood Refining Realm?"

The speaker's pupils flickered sharply.

It should be noted that yesterday Su Yu was only at the mid‑stage of the Blood Refining Realm, as everyone saw...

And within a single night, Su Yu's cultivation abruptly leapt to the peak of the Blood Refining Realm!

How is that possible?

Su Yu calmly lifted his Hurricane Blade, faced the charging Shi Yuan, and slowly swung his Hurricane Blade.

"Open Heaven!"

A faint sound, instantly echoing across the entire arena.

And what followed was a huge red blade qi, like a Crescent Moon Sky Pierce, forcibly rising up from the ground along the blade's direction.

Wrapped in terrifying energy, it charged toward the Stone Ape.

Seeing this, the Stone Ape let out an angry roar, and its pupils instantly turned crimson.

He waved the Wolf Tooth Club in his hand, powerful Spiritual Qi coiling around it.

"Break it for me!"

The Stone Ape exploded with a roar, bringing down the club.

Boom—!!!

At the instant they met, the arena filled with flying sand and rocks, forcibly blocking everyone's view.

Only the continual sound of explosions could be heard, spreading from the dust-filled arena above.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were clenched.

"What's going on? Why can't we see inside?"

"Yeah, who exactly won?"

"What need to say? Surely the Stone Ape won—he's the ninth genius of the Heavenly Pride Gang!"

"Hmph, it must be my brother—what's that bit of strength Su Yu has? Compared to my brother, it's like the moon in the sky versus a firefly on the ground; does he, Su Yu, even deserve to be mentioned?"

At the edge of the arena, Shi Sword watched the situation inside while sneering.

He had inexplicable confidence in the Stone Ape, and having fought Su Yu before, he naturally assumed the Stone Ape was sure to win.

As time passed, the sounds on the arena gradually weakened, and the dust also slowly settled.

Faintly, one could see a slender figure standing still on the arena.

Youth, holding a blade, with fresh blood on the blade dripping drop by drop from the tip.

Before that youth stood a burly figure, a ferocious knife scar revealed on his chest, blood spattering.

Su Yu... won!

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent again.
