"Star God Sword!"
Ye Xinglan activated her Spirit, her slender right hand gently rising.
Starlight shimmered around her, and two spirit rings radiated light from beneath her feet.
Specks of starlight converged in her palm, gradually forming a long sword of brilliant yellow.
This Star God Sword, measuring 1.2 meters, seemed to be inlaid with countless stars; its blade shimmered with starlight and exuded a powerful Aura.
The moment Ye Xinglan grasped the hilt, her Aura surged, and she seemed to merge with the Star God Sword.
spirit power fluctuations swelled like a tide, and a sharp Sword Intent flashed in her bright eyes.
Body and sword as one! It was actually body and sword as one!
Could a ten-year-old girl achieve this? As expected of a Genius cultivated by Shrek Academy!
In the stands, those who noticed this match—
the Spirit Master powerhouses with true strength and observation skills—were all astonished.
They looked at Ye Xinglan with envious eyes; her state of body and sword as one was a Realm many Spirit Masters dreamed of.
"Golden Dragon Spear!"
Fang Yang gently raised his right hand, and a long, golden spear appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Dragon patterns flowed across the spear's body, exuding a heart-pounding pressure.
Seeing this, Ye Xinglan frowned, "Are you not planning to release your Spirit?"
"Thank you for the reminder, just come at me directly."
Fang Yang smiled slightly, twirling the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand with a beautiful flourish.
"Good."
Ye Xinglan's Battle Intent surged in her eyes, and the Star God Sword in her hand transformed into a streak of light, its sword momentum incredibly sharp.
This sword strike was as fast as lightning, and a whistling sound accompanied its path.
Fang Yang remained unhurried, blocking with the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand. The spear and sword clashed, producing a crisp clang.
Sparks flew, and both retreated half a step, seemingly evenly matched.
Ye Xinglan was secretly surprised.
This sword strike of hers contained the Star God Power of the Star God Sword, yet the opponent had easily blocked it with just his Physical Body strength.
First Spirit Ability: "Sword God Star."
Ye Xinglan let out a soft cry, and the first yellow spirit ring behind her shone brightly.
The starlight on the Star God Sword surged, its speed abruptly increasing, and the sword's edge pierced towards Fang Yang even faster.
Fang Yang's gaze sharpened, and his internal spirit power was injected into the Golden Dragon Spear.
The spear's body glowed with golden light, and the Dragon patterns seemed to come alive, letting out a low Dragon roar.
He held the spear with one hand and swept it across with a thousand-army strike!
"Bang!"
This time, Ye Xinglan retreated several steps, her right hand holding the sword slightly numb.
She looked at Fang Yang in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock.
"This... how is this possible?!"
The audience burst into an uproar. No one had expected that Fang Yang, without even releasing his Spirit, could suppress the Genius girl from Shrek Academy.
"Xinglan, actually falling behind?"
On Shrek Academy's side, the girl with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit frowned, saying incredulously.
"I really didn't expect this! It seems we still underestimated the heroes of the world; a mere Tianhai Alliance actually has such a Spirit Master."
The captain of the Shrek Academy team, the Spirit Ancestor with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, also nodded, his expression grave.
"What a formidable young man! I truly wonder who his teacher is and how such a Prodigy was cultivated," Shen Yi said in a deep voice.
On Eastsea Academy's side, Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled with admiration.
He murmured, "As expected of Fang Yang, this strength..."
"This is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Xie Xie was dumbfounded.
Wang Jinxi, usually silent, couldn't help but say, "Captain, he's simply too strong."
Zhang Yangzi's eyes flashed with surprise: "As expected of the one who defeated me, he's truly extraordinary."
"Hey, Zhang Yangzi, can you stop pretending...?" Xie Xie couldn't help but expose him.
The next moment, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's gazes turned to Xie Xie.
Xie Xie quickly waved his hands in explanation: "No... I didn't say anything..."
"This is really too much bullying..." Only after the two looked away did Xie Xie mutter softly.
"Wow, Sister Gu Yue, Fang Yang is so handsome!" Xu Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled with adoration.
Gu Yue nodded lightly: "You also need to Cultivate hard, don't drag us down."
"I know!"
Xu Xiaoyan clenched her small fists, and fighting Spirit ignited in her eyes.
To keep up with Fang Yang and Gu Yue, she, who never liked to Cultivate, also had to start working hard.
Wu Changkong, watching Fang Yang's performance in the arena from afar, also nodded secretly.
His gaze held both relief and a faint hint of regret.
Relief, naturally, was because Fang Yang was his student, and his strength and potential were extremely Heaven-Defying; he would almost certainly achieve his wish of entering the inner court.
Regret, on the other hand, was because Fang Yang had already joined the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, and was now fated to be without his organization, the Tang Sect, and his teacher, Zhuo Shi.
...
On the competition stage, Ye Xinglan steadied herself, her Battle Intent growing even stronger in her eyes: "Fang Yang, next, I'm getting serious!"
"Please enlighten me!"
Fang Yang smiled slightly, the Golden Dragon Spear angled towards the ground.
Second Spirit Ability: "Sword God Net!"
The second yellow spirit ring behind Ye Xinglan flickered.
As the spirit ring flickered, the starlight on the Star God Sword in her hand intensified.
Streaks of starlight transformed into star ropes, then condensed into a giant star net, covering the sky and earth as it enveloped Fang Yang.
"Universe Spear Art, First Form: Piercing Cloud!"
Fang Yang held the Golden Dragon Spear with one hand and thrust it forward fiercely.
A brilliant golden light burst forth from the Golden Dragon Spear, like a golden ray piercing through the clouds.
"Boom!"
The star net resisted for barely half a second before shattering with a roar, turning into specks of starlight and vanishing.
Fang Yang's figure suddenly disappeared from his original spot.
Ye Xinglan only felt her vision blur, and the cold spear tip was already pressed against her throat.
"You lost."
Fang Yang's calm voice sounded in her ear.
The entire arena was silent; no one had expected this highly anticipated duel to end in such a swift and decisive manner.
The Genius girl from Shrek Academy couldn't even last three moves against Fang Yang.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan finally let out a long sigh: "I lost."
She put away her Star God Sword, asking unwillingly, "You... just how strong are you?"
"When you get stronger, we'll compete again." Fang Yang put away the Golden Dragon Spear and smiled slightly.
The referee old man finally came to his senses and loudly announced: "Match over, Eastsea Academy's Fang Yang wins!"
Thunderous applause erupted in the stands.
This short but brilliant duel was destined to be one of the most memorable moments of this competition.
Ye Xinglan gave Fang Yang a deep look, then turned and walked off the competition stage.
Although she lost this match, it planted a seed of desire to become stronger in her heart.
"Sister Xinglan, are you alright?" Xu Lizhi, seeing this, quickly rushed over.
The two yellow spirit rings behind him flickered, and a large steamed bun appeared in his hand, "Have some buns to replenish your strength."
"No need."
Ye Xinglan said coldly, turning and leaving without looking back.
Only Xu Lizhi remained standing in place, his expression fluctuating between cloudy and clear.
