The Battle Through Heaven
Great Rift Coffin Separating Claws
The entire stadium was completely silent as they stared at Liu Qing who was standing upright like a spear rod in the arena. This situation was something that even Zi Yan did not enjoy when she appeared earlier. Although he was probably the number one seat on ‘Strong Ranking’, his reputation within the Inner Academy was not comparable to Liu Qing, Lin Xiuya, and the others because he rarely exposed himself.
Liu Qing quietly stood in the arena. He ignored the various gazes around him. His eyes remained closed as his hands hugged his chest, waiting for his opponent to appear.
’’ Chi! ’’
A pale blue human figure suddenly appeared onto the stage under everyone's focus. The one who appeared was a young man wearing blue clothes. He was around twenty to twenty-five years old and his face could be considered handsome. However, his face was currently filled with bitterness. Other than the few people who could be counted in this Inner Academy, there was a chance that/that whoever chose Liu Qing as their opponent would also lose their spirit.
Normally, by meeting Liu Qing in the first round of the draw, one could be said to have lost the chance to enter the top ten. The strength of this blue-clothed young man was also not weak as he ranked in the middle of ‘Strong Ranking’. However, his chances of victory against Liu Qing, who had half his legs at the Dou Wang class, were basically so small that they were ignored. Not only were the students outside the arena clearly aware of this fact, but even the man dressed in blue, the young man himself also knew that/it was very likely that he would lose this match.
’’ All competitors have arrived. Let the match begin. ’’Su Qaian looked at the two people facing each other in the arena as he waved his hand and spoke slightly.
Following Su Qian's voice, everyone's gazes instantly became fiery red. All the gazes were filled with anticipation.
Although the blue-clothed young man did not have much hope for victory, he was still an expert that could be ranked on ‘Strong Rankings’ no matter how one said it. He still has mental strength. Therefore, after Su Qian announced the start of the match, he slowly suppressed the panic in his heart. His gaze solemnly watched Liu Qing on the opposite side. With a shake of his hand, a pale blue longsword appeared. The body of the sword had a strange watering stripe on it. The watery lines seemed to move every time it trembled, giving him a strange appearance.
With the longsword in his hand, the aura of the blue-clothed youth became much more real. A pale blue wave of Dou Qi swiftly surged out from his body. Finally, it moved along his arm, and wrapped the longsword in it. In an instant, the longsword emitted the faint sound of rolling ocean waves.
Seen to have sensed the gradually aggregated aura of the other party, Liu Qing finally opened his eyes slowly and swept them indifferently over the other party. He nodded a little. Fortunately, the other party's courage wasn't as low as he originally thought.
” Senior Liu Qing, Lan Yan will ask for your guidance! ’’The blue-clothed young man aimed a straight long sword at Liu Qing as he spoke in a deep voice.
Liu Qing turned his head slightly. His body trembled slightly as waves of bone cracking sounds immediately sounded within his body. Both of his hands were equally stretched. His palm was bigger than the hands of ordinary people. They curled up slowly, like sharp claws.
Both hands claw in alternating ways in front of him. Several invisible attacks flashed through the air before finally striking the ground, leaving behind shallow scars.
Disciple Xiao Yan, who was observing closely at Liu Qing from the tall platform, widened slightly. He realized that/that Liu Qing had acted randomly before, and had not even used a single thread of Dou Qi. He had really only relied on his previous physical strength …
” This fellow physical body is actually also this strong. He is a strong opponent. ’Xiao Yan sighed softly. The difficulty of tempering one's physical body was much more difficult than training a Dou Qi. If Xiao Yan did not use that many medicinal ingredients to augment his body strength, it was likely that he would have difficulty possessing his current physical strength. Right now, however, the physical strength that Liu Qing displayed did not appear to be weaker than his.
As Xiao Yan exclaimed, the young man in the arena, called Lan Yan, took the lead in attacking. His strength was not weak either. From how Xiao Yan saw it, it seemed that he at least had the strength of a four star Dou Ling. At this rate, one would be one of the top even within the Inner Academy. At present. He pounced with all his strength as a powerful Dou Qi surged above his body like the waves of an ocean. Moreover, the slight sound of rolling waves slowly spread out and transmitted to everyone's ears.
Lan Yan clearly knew how troublesome her opponent was. Therefore, he did not hold anything back from the start. His Dou Qi and speed were released to the limit as his body moved.
That Lan Yan flashed and crossed a short distance of tens of meters in an instant. The longsword in his hand was wrapped with a rich blue-colored Dou Qi. It carried a damp air as it pierced sharply into Liu Qing. The sharp sword light appeared extremely dense and cold after being contaminated by the fog.
’’ Three Shark Thorn! ’’
A low shout was emitted from Lan Yan's throat. A blue-coloured light suddenly surged, and a faint ferocious sharp head appeared. His large mouth had a fishy smell that carried moisture as it filled explosively towards Liu Qing!
This attack from Lan Yan was basically the strongest attack he could display in a short period of time. Although the water affinity did not specialize in attacks, with the coordination of such a powerful Dou Qi, it was able to create the destructive power of bullets regardless of how soft the water was known to be.
The moment Lan Yan's long sword was pierced, the entire arena was covered by moist air. Two small water groups even formed under his feet.
Liu Qing's expression was still not rippling much despite facing this extremely ferocious attack of Lan Yan. His eyes stared intently at the longsword that was rapidly enlarging in his eyes. However, his hand slowly curled up into a very strange bow.
’’Hei!’ ’
The attacking distance was closed in the blink of an eye. Lan Yan let out a low scream as the longsword in his hand was pierced. The blue-colored light suddenly agglomerated into the shape of a ferocious shark. It widened its ferocious mouth, and bit Liu Qing's head.
’’ Chi! ’’
As soon as the two collided, Liu Qing's hand claws turned into a strange bow. His fingers bent and curled up and suddenly cut hard. The thread of ferocious sword light was tightly sandwiched between his fingers.
”Rest!”
A loud shout came out. A pale golden light surged on Liu Qing's palm, and the sword light instantly dimmed until it collapsed and disappeared.
’’ Shua, shua! ’’
When the light of the first sword was broken, Lan Yan's expression immediately changed. He hurriedly shook his hand and more two swords shone out explosively. The two shining swords still took the shape of a shark but their strength was getting stronger, so the third full sword light was three times stronger than the first!
This kind of Dou Technique where each punch getting stronger than the previous one might not be a low-ranked one.
’’ Great Rift Coffin Separating Claw! ’’
Liu Qing narrowed his eyes. His hand that was curved into a strange bow was suddenly shot. As the two claw-like hands whirled strangely, they once again steadily grabbed those two ferocious swords and immediately smashed them.
The three fierce shining shark swords that would be enough to defeat an ordinary four star Dou Ling were broken by Liu Qing in an easy manner. Even with Lan Yan's mental strength, she was instantly shocked. This kind of match is basically a completely different class.
” Match completed. ” As soon as Lan Yan became startled, a faint voice suddenly shot out from Liu Qing's mouth. All the pores of the former stood upright as they felt the wind instantly move close to his body. Liu Qing clandestinely pushed forward as an incomparably ferocious aura surged out, completely destroying the Dou Qi protecting Lan Yan's body.
’’ Grug! ’’
Lan Yan's face turned white. Fresh fresh blood came out. His body dragged the ground, and violently flung out of the arena.
The arena was completely silent as everyone looked at Lan Yan who was spewing blood and exiting the arena. Many voices of people breathing cold air appeared. Many people only saw that/it was the previous attack Lan Yan had finished wrapped around Liu Qing. It was completely unduly blinked, the sharp attacks had been completely eliminated. Lan Yan was completely defeated ..many people had fog over their heads in the face of such an end.
TL: Confused about the ending
” Strange claw technique. ” Xiao Yan's expression was truly solemn as he looked at the pair of large palms from the tall platform. Even he had to say that/it was an attack by Lan Yan earlier was not bad. However, the three shining swords that came one after another with increased strength were completely accepted by Liu Qing. They are even destroyed. This technique really surprised people.
’’ Liu Qing has two main movements. One is ‘Mountain Splitting Spear’, and the other is ‘Great Rift Coffin Splitting Claw’. This claw technique was a High Xuan Dou Technique. However, in Liu Qing's hands, he even possessed strength comparable to a Di Class Dou technique. This was because he had been honing this Dou Technique for nearly twenty years. It was no wonder he had trained her until she reached the top. ” A soft laugh suddenly sounded beside Xiao Yan. The latter turned around and realized that/it was Lin Xiuya who had involuntarily arrived.
” He is indeed very strong. ” Xiao Yan was amazed as he nodded. He looked at Liu Qing much higher in his heart. This guy is really troublesome.
’Ke Ke, Senior Lin was able to defeat Liu Qing who had two main skills. I think your power should be greater. ” Xiao Yan turned his head and smiled while talking to Lin Xiuya.
Lin Xiuya smiled and shook his head as he said, ” Back then, I was just lucky to have defeated him. I wonder if I will still have luck this time around. The toughness and talent of this person is something that amazes me. ” As he spoke to this point, his gaze turned to Xiao Yan, he then continued with a smile, ” If you use all your tactics, I think that/that even Liu Qing or I will probably have a hard time winning against you, then we will have to fight. ”
” Senior Lin overestimated me. ’’
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. His eyebrows suddenly lifted. His gaze slowly returned to the arena, only to see that/it was the metal-pagoda-like battle god's sharp eyes were completely locked on the two of them. As the second eye moved, the gazes from the entire stadium moved with him and instantly stopped on Xiao Yan and Lin Xiuya.
Everyone in the viewing gallery felt unsure when they discovered that/it was the gaze Liu Qing had basically wrapped Xiao Yan in it. It was meaningless for Lin Xiuya to be seen this seriously given his strength. On the other hand, Xiao Yan could be considered the strongest dark horse in the Inner Academy, but there should still be a gap between him and people like Lin Xiuya, who possessed true strength.
All three gazes ignored the surrounding people as they faced each other from a distance. A fighting intent was involuntarily sucked in and surged on their chests. If you find any errors (broken links, non-standard content, etc.), please let us know so that we can fix them as soon as possible.
