His hands swiftly formed seals as the spiritual power within him surged like a raging tide. With a loud roar, he shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Secret Art of Spirit Explosion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a fierce aura erupted from his entire body, and his presence suddenly skyrocketed by thirty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down below, Cang Song, who had been watching, nodded in satisfaction at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, standing to the side, Tian Buyi widened his eyes in fury and bellowed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cang Song! You actually taught such a Qingyun secret art to Lin Jingyu! Acting so rashly—outrageous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song let out a cold laugh, his expression proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although the Secret Art of Spirit Explosion is meant for those in the Upper Purity Realm, Lin Jingyu has a solid foundation and is already nearing that level. What harm is there in letting him cultivate this secret art?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he even glanced smugly at Tian Buyi, as if victory was already in his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi, watching the arena, had a faint glint in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closely observed every detail of Lin Jingyu’s use of the secret art and thought to herself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is the Secret Art of Spirit Explosion? It's worth studying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her Heaven-Defying Comprehension, she quickly deconstructed the operating logic of the technique. In just a few moments, she had already deduced a brand-new version—“True Art of Spirit Explosion”—a technique capable of tripling one’s strength in a short time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it could only be used once per day and overuse would damage one’s meridians, the fact that it ignored realm limitations made it an undeniable asset for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena stage, Zhang Xiaofan narrowed his eyes sharply upon seeing Lin Jingyu’s sudden rise in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their previous clashes, Zhang Xiaofan had held back due to their shared history from Caomiao Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Lin Jingyu had pulled out a killing move, Zhang Xiaofan decided inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since that’s how it is, I’ll stop holding back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he activated the power of the Daoist, Buddhist, and Demonic paths within him. Boundless spiritual power surged into the Soul-Devouring Staff like rivers flowing into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the staff erupted in a dazzling green light that shot into the sky, its might awe-inspiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu’s heart trembled at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never imagined that, even after seemingly going all out, Zhang Xiaofan could unleash such terrifying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill rose up his spine. Clutching his sword tightly, he circulated his spiritual power at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing he could no longer wait, Lin Jingyu leapt into action. Holding his Dragon-Slaying Sword, he charged at Zhang Xiaofan. Continuously executing the Qingyun Sword Technique, he unleashed waves of Dragon’s Roar, with emerald sword light pouring down on Zhang Xiaofan like a torrential storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiaofan remained calm and expressionless as he suddenly hurled the Soul-Devouring Staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, the staff transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight toward Lin Jingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Lin Jingyu hurriedly swung his sword to deflect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the radiant power of the staff was overwhelming. At the moment it touched the sword light, it shattered it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the Soul-Devouring Staff collided with the Dragon-Slaying Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous “BOOM” echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of impact, an immense force crashed into Lin Jingyu’s chest. He felt an unbearable pressure, his vital energy surging uncontrollably as he was blasted backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was flung through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down below, Cang Song suddenly shot to his feet, his face filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Tian Buyi stood up with glee, looking at Zhang Xiaofan with satisfaction before sneering at Cang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Lin Jingyu is too weak. So what if he used a secret art? He was more talented than my Old Seventh back then, yet look at the result now—is it him that’s lacking, or your teaching?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song’s face turned red with rage as he glared at Tian Buyi in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu crashed heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled several times to get up, but his body was limp and powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, under the elders’ watchful gaze, he said reluctantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I concede.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples from Longshou Peak quickly rushed onto the stage to carry Lin Jingyu down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Dazhu Peak disciples surrounded Zhang Xiaofan, tossing him into the air repeatedly as cheers rang out in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of those from Longshou Peak were dark and stormy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had placed great hopes in Lin Jingyu, only for him to fall to Zhang Xiaofan, securing only fourth place in the Seven Peaks Tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhang Xiaofan’s victory, Lu Xueqi merely cast him a glance before withdrawing her gaze and quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elder on the stage proclaimed loudly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this round of the Seven Peaks Tournament, Dazhu Peak’s Zhang Xiaofan is the winner!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sternly continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If any of you wish to celebrate, leave the arena! There is still one more match today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did everyone remember—the next match was the long-awaited duel between Lu Xueqi and Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the true highlight of the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples quickly cleared the arena to make space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a face full of unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous bout, he had been completely overpowered, leaving him both stunned and angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to probe mentally but couldn’t determine whether Zhang Xiaofan was also a transmigrator, though one thing was certain—the Zhang Xiaofan before him was nothing like the one in the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is going on? Lin Jingyu fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Cang Song looked displeased over Lin Jingyu’s defeat, he couldn’t deny Zhang Xiaofan’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the power Zhang Xiaofan displayed in his final strike had already reached the Upper Purity Realm. Even a fully-powered Lin Jingyu might not have been able to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Qi Hao, Cang Song instructed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hao’er, be extremely cautious in the next match. You must do everything you can to win the championship for Longshou Peak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao snapped back to reality upon hearing this, realizing his match was next. He quickly responded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before he finished speaking, he leapt onto the arena, his gaze locked onto Lu Xueqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi moved like a flash of light, gracefully landing on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the two appeared, the atmosphere erupted, with cheers ringing out in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the cheers for Lu Xueqi clearly overwhelmed those for Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of Qi Hao’s supporters were from Longshou Peak or his personal followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the lopsided cheering, Qi Hao’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew deep down that he couldn’t match Lu Xueqi, the blatant favoritism from the crowd stung him, igniting a smoldering anger in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presiding elder once again appeared and loudly declared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final match of the Seven Peaks Tournament, the battle for first and second place, now begins! Longshou Peak’s Qi Hao versus Xiaozhu Peak’s Lu Xueqi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before his words had fully faded, the elder vanished from the stage, leaving it entirely to the two competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi stood with a cold expression, her gaze calm as she looked at Qi Hao, yet inwardly, all her senses were on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not forgotten how Qi Hao had ambushed her in the Back Mountain, nor could she dismiss the mysterious golden light that had once possessed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t know it, that Golden Light had already been depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao stared at the stunning beauty before him, a thousand thoughts caught in his throat, but in the end, he could only force out a single sentence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Hao of Longshou Peak—please instruct me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi gave a slight nod. With a gentle wave of her right hand, the Tianyao Divine Sword shot forth like a streak of light. Her voice cold, she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak—please instruct me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words were spoken, Qi Hao’s expression turned serious. His spiritual power surged forth, and the Ice Immortal Sword in his hand exploded with a brilliant cold light. Frost and snow billowed outward, transforming the entire arena into a world of ice in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi’s face remained impassive, but a glint of frost flashed in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her loathing for Qi Hao and vigilance toward transmigrators intertwined within her, and all she wanted was to end this quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift movement, she gripped her sword hilt tightly—and to the astonishment of everyone watching, she suddenly drew her sword with force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a razor-sharp sword intent tore through the air, and a brilliant blue light shot straight into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nine Heavens Profound Realm—transform into Divine Thunder, with awe-inspiring heavenly might, strike with one sword!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xueqi stepped into the air, directly unleashing the Divine Sword Lightning Summoning True Art!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao’s expression drastically changed upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally intended to exchange a few moves with Lu Xueqi before surrendering gracefully. But who would’ve thought that Lu Xueqi would open with a finishing move, completely upending his plan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet surrendering now would be far too humiliating. But with his current strength, how could he possibly withstand this thunderous strike?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a panic, he glanced down at Cang Song, pleading for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song’s face turned grim as he turned to mock Master Shuiyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a ruthless disciple Xiaozhu Peak has raised!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though even Master Shuiyue was a bit surprised by Lu Xueqi’s sudden action, she still responded with a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cang Song, when was it ever a rule that divine arts couldn't be used at the start of a match? If you fear Qi Hao might be hurt, why not concede early?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1638,"2026-06-09T04:29:26.886Z",1,"novelbin.me","02e6c9ef2bf906e178589c8eb7c1f343e7c7eec9d4809a6017cb9a8abc9b77ca","with-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--chapter-82","with-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--chapter-80",200,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwith-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--cover.jpg"]
