"Died just like that?"
"This is too monstrous!"
"With a single punch, he instantly killed a prodigy whose cultivation realm had reached the fifth level of the Samsara Realm? Is this the Quasi-Saint Son of the Taiyi Holy Land?"
"Is he really only at the second level of the Nirvana Realm? How is this possible..."
Xu Chuan's punch drew everyone's attention.
Countless warriors were shocked, unable to help but exclaim.
Prodigies of the Samsara Realm were considered powerhouses everywhere, yet this one couldn't even withstand a single punch from him and died!
"Too terrifying! This is just his fist technique, and this Saint Son Xu hasn't even used his most proficient saber technique yet!"
"Doesn't that mean he's still hiding something?"
"His physical strength is also incredibly strong. Is this the mark of an unparalleled prodigy?"
They almost couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.
On the high platform.
The elders leading the various factions also wore expressions of shock and surprise.
"Such terrifying power!"
The Grand Elder of the Yellow Sand Holy Land couldn't help but exclaim.
"This punch exerted the maximum of his physical strength. This Xu Chuan must have cultivated an extraordinary body-refining technique!"
"Who would have thought, Daoist Situ Lin, that your disciple would be so powerful? No wonder he could become the ninth Quasi-Saint Son of the Taiyi Holy Land!"
"He's been hiding himself too well!"
These elders flattered Situ Lin.
To this.
Situ Lin merely smiled benignly and did not respond.
In reality, he was also somewhat surprised.
Xu Chuan cultivated a body-refining technique as well?
He was also completely bewildered, having no knowledge of this.
He had never seen him display it before.
Xu Chuan possessed at least the strength of the second level of the Samsara Realm, that he knew.
But that was when he used his saber technique.
Yet now, without using any weapons, a single punch had killed a prodigy of an ancient clan comparable to the fifth level of the Samsara Realm!
He was unsure at this moment how many trump cards his disciple had hidden.
Suddenly.
He thought of what the Holy Lord had said before Xu Chuan left the Holy Land, about Xu Chuan preparing to compete for first place in the Dao Discussion Assembly.
Initially, he had thought it was somewhat unrealistic.
But now.
His thoughts wavered.
Perhaps his disciple truly had a chance to win first place?
He couldn't help but begin to anticipate it.
Moreover, this Dao Discussion Assembly was an event where the Holy Lord personally arranged the participating disciples.
Since the Holy Lord made such an arrangement, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Thinking of this, Situ Lin even felt a surge of excitement.
"Damn it, these ancient clans are indeed unreliable, getting killed so quickly!"
The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Revelation Sect beside him revealed intense killing intent in his eyes.
He had confidently claimed that he would definitely kill Xu Chuan on the spot, but now he was dead without even withstanding three punches.
What a waste!
He now had only one thought: he hoped Xiao Chen would be capable enough to kill Xu Chuan.
Otherwise, upon returning to the Holy Land, he didn't know how the Heavenly Revelation Sect Master would deal with him.
Don't underestimate him, despite being a Grand Elder. In the Heavenly Revelation Sect, besides Xiao Chen, who didn't fear Ling Feng?
His gaze was fixed on Xu Chuan.
He clenched his fists, appearing extremely annoyed.
However, he quickly regained his composure, indistinguishable from his previous calm demeanor.
On the seventh group's arena.
Xu Chuan frowned slightly.
"Elder, can you announce the result of the match?"
Wang Lin had been dead for a long time. Even the pile of ashes on the arena had long since scattered with the wind.
This elder was still standing there, lost in shock.
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's words, he finally snapped out of his shock.
He quickly announced the result of the match.
"In the fourth round of the competition, Xu Chuan of the Taiyi Holy Land is victorious!"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan walked off the stage with satisfaction and found a place to wait for the next match.
Ignoring the gazes fixed upon him, Xu Chuan closed his eyes to rest.
At this moment, Xiao Chen from the third group had also dealt with his opponent.
He walked up to Xu Chuan, looking at him fiercely.
"Xu Chuan, I didn't expect you to have such skills. No wonder you could kill Ling Tian."
"However, pray that you don't encounter me. I will definitely kill you!"
Xiao Chen sneered and made a gesture towards Xu Chuan.
It was filled with provocation.
However, facing his provocation.
Xu Chuan didn't even lift an eyelid.
He completely ignored him.
Seeing Xu Chuan's attitude, Xiao Chen became extremely enraged, but he could do nothing to him at the moment. Thus, he dejectedly returned to his group.
The fourth round of matches concluded quickly.
On the field, only Luo Hao of the Qingxuan Sect, Qing Zhu of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, Zhao Kai of the Wuji Palace, and Xu Chuan remained.
The top two from the seventh group would be decided among these four.
Soon, Xu Chuan's opponent was revealed.
Zhao Kai of the Wuji Palace, with a cultivation of the first level of the Samsara Realm.
Upon learning that his opponent was the formidable Xu Chuan, he decisively chose to concede.
He did not compete with Xu Chuan at all.
The strength displayed by Xu Chuan earlier was simply too terrifying.
No one wanted to be the second prodigy to be killed with a single punch.
After all, Wang Lin served as a cautionary tale.
Meanwhile.
Luo Hao of the Qingxuan Sect faced Qing Zhu of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
Qing Zhu's cultivation was at the second level of the Samsara Realm.
Under Qing Zhu's Buddhist techniques, Luo Hao quickly fell.
Thus, the top two from the seventh group were determined.
Xu Chuan and Qing Zhu!
Xu Chuan glanced at him, and Qing Zhu also nodded amicably at Xu Chuan.
It was a form of greeting.
And so, time passed swiftly.
Half an hour later, all the preliminary group matches were concluded.
The other four from the Taiyi Holy Land also distinguished themselves from their respective groups, securing a spot in the top two.
"The first stage of the competition has concluded."
"Take a rest, and after one incense stick's time, the challenge matches for the top two will begin!"
The referee elder announced slowly.
Hearing this, the prodigies from various factions, who had just experienced fierce battles, immediately sat down on the spot to recover their energy.
The time for one incense stick passed quickly.
The challenge matches for the top two officially commenced.
As the strongest participant from the seventh group, no one dared to challenge Xu Chuan.
However, Qing Zhu of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect was challenged by a Saint Son from the Silver Moon Holy Land who had been eliminated much earlier.
Although his cultivation was not as high as the Saint Son's, Qing Zhu's strength was formidable.
He wielded his Zen staff with incredible skill.
Moreover, he unleashed Buddhist secret arts as if they were inexhaustible.
The Silver Moon Saint Son did not last long before he was defeated.
Experiencing another defeat, especially at the hands of someone with a lower cultivation, the Silver Moon Saint Son could not accept it.
He immediately spat out blood in anger and fainted.
He was then carried away by the people from the Silver Moon Holy Land.
This Dao Discussion Assembly had brought immense disgrace to the Silver Moon Holy Land.
Not a single person from the Silver Moon Holy Land had made it into the top twenty.
Finally, a group of them hastily left the Desert City, not even bothering to watch the subsequent matches.
After the people from the Silver Moon Holy Land departed, the challenge matches continued. However, like Xu Chuan, no one dared to challenge him again.
The top two from the seventh group were definitively determined.
Following this.
The participants from other groups also successively completed their challenges.
