NOVPUBLu Bei's arrogant tone went unquestioned, thanks to his proven strength. Since the start of the Great Competition of All Clans, Lu Bei had never been defeated. The only exception was his loss in the Tower of Fire to Xiao Yan, which wasn't solely his defeat but allective one against Xiao Yan, Lin Ye, and other Lanyan Royal School disciples.
He had been careless, facing many Lanyan Royal School disciples alone and underestimating Xiao Yan's summoned historical figures. He had nearly been crushed by Grandpa Yu's mountain-like force. But this time, Lu Bei would not make such a mistake.
"Looks like Lu Bei still holds a grudge against Lanyan Royal School!"
"Indeed. Losing to an Earthly Realm force in the elimination rounds was quite humiliating for him."
"This time, Fire Clan should be able to regain its honor. With their innate advantage in the arena, I see no suspense in the oume."
Spectators from various forces also turned their attention to the arena. Both Lanyan Royal School and Fire Clan, one of the seven great houses, were popular forces in this Great Competition of All Clans. Especially in the finals, with the Fire Clan Holy Son participating, the final resultuld determine the ultimate rankings.
"Among those who might have a chance to surpass Lu Bei in the arena, perhaps only the Temple of Destiny disciple stands a chance."
"As long as that person doesn't take the stage, no one can match Lu Bei."
A Saint Stage pinnacle disciple glanced at Chen Feng with a hint of fear. To date, Chen Feng had only appeared twice in the finals. However, both times, he faced extremely powerful opponents. One of them was a top Ghost Clan disciple at the Saint Stage pinnacle, mastering two formidable Ghost Clan techniques. Yet, that person didn't manage to make a single move against Chen Feng.
One strike from Chen Feng had nullified all techniques.
Chen Feng's strength shocked everyone. Despite his recent breakthrough to Imperial Realm, in the Great Competition of All Clans, he had suppressed his cultivation to the Saint Stage pinnacle,ntinuing to overwhelm his opponents. This indicated that even during his time at the Saint Stage, Chen Feng had been exceptionally strong.
"Too much praise, too much praise!" Chen Feng feigned humility, bowing slightly. But his smiling face betrayed his true feelings.
The onlookers shook their heads helplessly. They felt that while Temple of Destiny's disciple was impressive, he lacked the formidable presence of a true powerhouse. Even Chen Fan, who had just broken through to the Saint Stage pinnacle, had a demeanor far surpassing Chen Feng's.
In the face of Fire Clan Holy Son's provocation, Chen Fan stood calmly andmposed, his Confucian Righteous Qi not even needing to be released to make an impression. Many people admired his demeanor, even the high-ranking elders of the seven great houses had to acknowledge the extraordinary talent and mindset of the Confucian disciples from Lanyan Royal School.
If the Great Competition of All Clans hadn't been ongoing, there might have been attempts to recruit some of Lanyan Royal School's disciples.
"You're young but lack any real spirit. You're even more detestable than Xiao Yan!" Lu Bei frowned as his repeated provocations went unanswered. He abandoned his previously mocking demeanor and became serious. His casual attitude had been a facade for outsiders, and with his opponent unresponsive, there was no need tontinue the pretense.
At that moment, the referee announced the start of the match. Almost as soon as the referee's voice fell, both fighters on the stage took action.
Raging fire energy gathered before Lu Bei, forming a long, massive fire serpent thatiled like a beast in front of him. On the other side, Chen Fan immediately took out his brush and ink. As the brush moved, black-armored soldiers appeared and stood before Chen Fan.
In the next moment, the fire serpent erupted with flames, raising terrifyingly high temperatures on the arena. The black-armored soldiers raised their black shields to block the flames.
"Flame Serpent, explode!" Lu Bei was not surprised by this. If his opponentuldn't withstand such an attack, they didn't qualify as his rival. He performed a seal, and the erupting flames began to twist and deform, exploding with a tremendous force. The impact from the flames immediately sent the black-armored soldiers flying. The shockwaventinued to surge towards Chen Fan's position.
"End Weapon!" Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged as he wrote two characters in the air. The black ink solidified and instantly attracted the surrounding celestial forces, forming a transparent shield. The previously powerful shockwave was easily blocked by this shield.
Lu Bei's attack did not cease. Everything he had done so far was merely a prelude to the next attack. As the shockwave was blocked, flames ignited around him, forming numerous fire swords, each imbued with the power of a Saint Stage pinnacle strike. Thembined power of these fire swords was far greater than just additive effects.
"A wounded Imperial Stage Fierce Beast fell under a single blow from me. Today, you will witness my fire sword array. Even if you die, it will be without regret."
Lu Beildly smiled, unhesitatingly activating all the fire swords. His earlier claims of tormenting Chen Fan were mere deceptions. Anyone who truly believed he was that arrogant and careless would pay dearly in battle. Lu Bei's principle was to be the ultimate victor, using every means to achieve victory.
The fire sword array swept over with overwhelming power, nearly surpassing what Saint Stage cultivatorsuld wield. Fire Clan's techniques and powers were this formidable, and it was one reason why the seven great houses of the Immortal Realm had remained dominant for so long.
"Is this the power of the Holy Son of the seven great houses? Facing such a fire sword array, it seems there's no choice but to use defensive treasures or face death."
"The gap between cultivators is like an insurmountable mountain!" 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Disciples from various forces below were stunned by what was perhaps the strongest attack they had seen in the Great Competition of All Clans. Howuld one defend against such a formidable assault?
As everyone wondered, Chen Fan provided the answer. He wrote again, changing the two characters 'End Weapon' into 'Martial Art'.
