Chapter 412 410: Might as Well Settle It All at Once

The sturdy youth was kicked off the Martial Arts Arena by Luo Tian before he could even make a move.

"Huh? What happened?"

"It's over?"

The crowd was stunned.

The fight ended so quickly that most people hadn't even processed what happened.

'What did Luo Tian do? How did the sturdy youth get sent flying? I must be watching a fake match.'

Black Fang had just stepped off the stage. His back was to Luo Tian, so he missed the fight.

He glanced at Luo Tian, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

'He won?'

The upper echelons of the Purple Scale Race were dumbfounded, but their shock quickly turned to elation!

When they saw the sturdy youth take the stage, they hadn't held out much hope for Luo Tian. As long as his defeat wasn't too humiliating, it would be acceptable.

But instead, the fight was over in an instant!

"Damn, how did the other side send up someone so weak?"

Zi Shan was displeased. 'Just send a powerful genius to kill Luo Tian and be done with it!'

"You venomous bastard! You took advantage of the moment I stepped onto the stage to launch a sneak attack!"

The sturdy man scrambled to his feet and pointed at Luo Tian, his voice filled with rage.

As Luo Tian's opponent, he had already felt his astonishing speed and the force of that kick. It had broken at least three of his ribs.

But even so, he had to make an excuse for himself to avoid complete humiliation!

"A sneak attack! How despicable!"

"He doesn't dare to fight head-on, so he resorts to sneak attacks!"

The members of the Autumn Fox Race started to jeer along with him.

Some spectators who hadn't gotten a clear view of the fight also felt something was off. Swept up by the mood, they began to curse as well.

'This counts as a sneak attack?'

Luo Tian was speechless, but it didn't matter. A win was a win.

"You can choose to continue fighting or take a rest."

The referee said to Luo Tian.

As an expert from the City Lord's Mansion, he could tell that Luo Tian's Body Technique was exceptionally fast, and the sturdy youth had been too careless and contemptuous, leading to his immediate elimination.

Technically, Luo Tian couldn't be accused of a sneak attack.

"I'll fight."

Luo Tian answered without a moment's hesitation.

To him, that last exchange hardly counted as a fight.

"Hmph, you brat! Allow me to teach you a lesson!"

A slender man from the Autumn Fox Race flew down onto the stage.

His cultivation was, shockingly, at the Peak of the Earth Element Realm's Second Layer!

A disciple from his race had been defeated by a mere human at the Peak of the First Layer. As a member of the Autumn Fox Race, he felt disgraced and was determined to teach Luo Tian a proper lesson.

"Do you think Luo Tian can win this time?"

"It's hard to say. In that last fight, Luo Tian didn't really show any skill!"

"He'll probably lose, but at least it won't be too humiliating…"

The upper echelons of the Purple Scale Race began to discuss among themselves. Though they believed Luo Tian was more likely to lose, a small part of them still held out hope.

Yan Lihui also started watching seriously.

On the Martial Arts Arena.

The battle began in an instant!

SWISH!

The slender man gripped a large saber and slashed, unleashing a wave of cyan light. The attack was powerful and heavy, surging forward to reach Luo Tian in an instant!

A crystalline silver luster surfaced on Luo Tian's palm, refracting a brilliant light.

BOOM!

He threw a fierce punch, shattering the saber light as if it were a wooden plank!

The powerful gale from his fist swept toward the slender man, feeling like a thousand sharp knives scraping against his skin, making it sting with pain!

SWOOSH!

The slender man executed his Body Technique, transforming into a yellow afterimage and shifting dozens of meters to the left to evade the attack!

This scene played out before the eyes of every spectator!

"So strong!"

"A single punch, with just his physical strength, has such power?"

"It seems the Purple Scale Race wasn't spouting nonsense. This kid really can fight above his level! The Purple Scale Race has found an incredible genius!"

A wave of gasps went through the crowd.

For someone at the Peak of the Earth Element Realm's First Layer to shatter an attack from a cultivator at the Peak of the Second Layer head-on was truly remarkable.

Zi Shan was stunned.

'How is Luo Tian so strong?'

Just then, the Purple Scale Race Leader looked over at Zi Shan, a smile on his face. He gave a slight nod of approval.

His older brother, Zi He, also found it hard to believe. 'Did my younger brother really recommend such a powerful genius? Could it be he wants to bury the hatchet?'

Feeling the gazes of his father and older brother, Zi Shan froze, his mind in turmoil.

On the Martial Arts Arena.

"I didn't expect you to have a few tricks up your sleeve, kid!"

The slender man snorted coldly.

In truth, Luo Tian's last punch had left him shaken.

'Could this kid be from the Demon Race or the Barbarian Race? How else could he be so strong?'

SWOOSH!

The slender man leaped into the air, his figure blurring into a series of afterimages that appeared all over the sky.

Speed was also one of his great advantages!

Countless geniuses of his generation had been defeated without ever managing to touch the hem of his clothes.

'In his mind, once Luo Tian witnessed his speed, he would surely find him to be a difficult opponent.'

"Are we fighting or not? You're like a fly, buzzing all over the place!" Luo Tian said with an impatient look.

"You brat! Don't think you can provoke me! If you're so skilled, then catch me and defeat me!" the slender man roared, his face ashen.

"Then, as you wish!" Luo Tian said calmly.

WHOOSH!

As if a gentle breeze blew past, Luo Tian's figure dissipated with the wind, his destination unknown.

'Where is he?'

The slender man searched for Luo Tian but found no sign of him anywhere.

Suddenly, an intense sense of pressure descended!

'He's behind me!'

The slender man was startled, the hair on his arms standing on end!

SWOOSH!

He pushed his speed to the limit, afterimages flashing continuously, stirring up a gale on the Martial Arts Arena.

But Luo Tian stuck to him like a shadow.

The oppressive feeling didn't weaken. Instead, it grew stronger, making the slender man feel a sense of impending danger!

Cold Wind Palm!

Luo Tian infused thirty to forty percent of his Nether Dragon Divine Vein's Cold Power into his Palm Technique and unleashed a strike.

RUMBLE!

An icy storm erupted. The slender man had nowhere to run and prepared to face it head-on.

But as the bone-chilling Cold Power enveloped him, his entire body instantly grew cold, and his speed slowed!

BOOM!

The stormy Palm Force, freezing cold, crashed forward. The True Essence Shield the slender man had formed instantly froze solid before shattering into pieces.

The slender man was also sent flying off the Martial Arts Arena, a layer of frost on his body, shivering from the cold!

The Autumn Fox Race was defeated again!

The outcome of this match shocked every spectator present!

"That kid won!"

The Purple Scale Race was overjoyed!

"I didn't expect him to be hiding his strength so well!"

Yan Lihui showed a faint smile.

He had been worried for Luo Tian before, but now he was completely at ease. With Luo Tian's strength, there wouldn't be any problems as long as he didn't get too arrogant.

"Shan'Er, this genius you recommended is quite good!"

The Purple Scale Race Leader praised Zi Shan.

"Young Master Zi Shan has really grown up and matured. To befriend such a powerful genius on a single business trip…"

The upper echelons also praised Zi Shan.

"Huh? I…"

Zi Shan no longer knew what to say.

Although he longed for praise from his elders and his father, he felt anything but happy right now!

'I didn't expect this kid to be so strong. He's good at hiding it!'

'But, against Black Fang of the Demon Race, you are doomed to fail!'

Zi Shan's eyes stared intently at Luo Tian, a trace of resentment showing through.

"Interesting. This kid is quite arrogant. I'll take the next match!"

Black Fang was already prepared to make a move.

But an upper echelon of the Autumn Fox Race stopped him.

"The Purple Scale Race actually brought in powerful outside help too. This kid's cultivation is only at the Peak of the First Layer. Perhaps they have a hidden ace. Don't act rashly just yet!"

Black Fang couldn't easily defy the order of the Autumn Fox Race's upper echelons, so he could only agree!

"Qiu Hai, you're up!"

A steady, short-haired man walked step by step toward the Martial Arts Arena!

The aura of the Earth Element Realm Third Layer instantly spread out. A bleak, cold whirlwind naturally formed around his body, full of oppressive power!

"Luo Tian, you can choose to rest, or continue to accept challenges," the referee asked.

"I'll continue," Luo Tian replied calmly.

His decision drew gasps from some in the audience, but this time, no one questioned him. They all watched quietly in anticipation.

"You are indeed a genius, but being a genius doesn't mean you can't lose!"

The aura emanating from the short-haired man grew stronger and stronger, giving the feeling that a mountain was about to collapse.

Luo Tian attacked first, combining his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body with his Nether Dragon Divine Vein to unleash Cold Wind Palm.

WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A bone-chilling storm surged forward with immense power!

Compared to before, the power of Luo Tian's Palm Technique was stronger now. After all, his enemy was at the Earth Element Realm Third Layer!

"Mountain-Breaking Fist!"

The short-haired man threw a sudden punch. A massive, shadowy fist projection, like a collapsing mountain, shot forward, radiating a heavy, oppressive, and astonishing aura!

Fist and palm clashed, the aftershocks spreading in all directions!

The short-haired man's mighty Fist Technique was a cut above, breaking through the icy storm and charging toward Luo Tian.

Seeing this scene,

The upper echelons of the Autumn Fox Race showed faint smiles.

The short-haired man should have no trouble defeating Luo Tian!

The members of the Purple Scale Race were a bit worried, but Zi Shan was exceptionally happy.

However, the next moment, a surprising scene occurred.

The aftershock from the man's Fist Technique struck Luo Tian head-on, yet his figure didn't budge an inch.

It was like a piece of tofu hitting a rock.

'This person specializes in head-on combat. It seems thirty to forty percent of my Divine Vein Cold Power isn't quite enough,' Luo Tian muttered to himself.

The Fourth to Sixth-Layers of the Celestial Furnace Treasure Body were called the "Celestial Furnace Shield Body," which specialized in defense; its attack power was average.

'If I could cultivate it to the Seventh-Layer, the 'Celestial Furnace Sword Body,' my Swordsmanship attacks would be greatly amplified!'

Cold Wind Palm!

Luo Tian used Cold Wind Palm again, infusing fifty to sixty percent of his Divine Vein Cold Power!

The short-haired man's eyes narrowed.

'The same Palm Technique, but it's stronger than before, and the Cold Power is even more astonishing!'

He was fearless, using Mountain-Breaking Fist to launch a fierce attack.

A continuous barrage of fists surged forward like a torrent!

Luo Tian was not flustered. With his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body's Defense, it was very difficult for the short-haired man to hurt him!

Ten to twenty moves passed.

The short-haired man's offensive inexplicably weakened.

'Damn it, the Cold Power has invaded my body!'

The short-haired man's expression turned grim.

Luo Tian's Palm Technique's Cold Power was sinister, tyrannical, and could even extinguish life force. He had underestimated it at the beginning.

At this moment, with the Cold Power invading his body, his condition gradually declined.

But Luo Tian remained unhurried, relying on his powerful defensive advantage to continuously use Cold Wind Palm.

The short-haired man had realized his mistake, but it was too late to turn the situation around!

The situation was completely under Luo Tian's control!

The short-haired man's condition continued to decline. His body was cold and stiff, his movements forty to fifty percent slower, and his True Essence circulated sluggishly.

'The Cold Power of the Nether Dragon Divine Vein has improved quite a bit!' Luo Tian concluded from this battle.

The short-haired man from the Earth Element Realm Third Layer had become a complete punching bag, passively taking hits.

BAM!

Luo Tian sent the short-haired man flying with a palm strike, and the battle ended.

It could be said that Luo Tian had relied on the powerful Cold Power of his Nether Dragon Divine Vein to crush his enemy in this battle.

"He won again!"

"That's three wins in a row!"

Cries of shock erupted around the arena.

"Luo Tian, will you continue to challenge, or rest!" the referee asked, as was customary.

"It seems the Autumn Fox Race only has one left. Might as well deal with them all at once."

Luo Tian thought for a moment and said with a faint smile.
