As Dongbo Xueying landed, surging waves immediately condensed within the battlefield, forming a massive whirlpool that coiled around the man with long cyan hair.
“Water? You want to play with water against me?” The cyan-haired man sneered, his body at the center of a terrifying coldness that radiated outward in all directions. The once surging waves froze with a cacophony of cracking sounds, their whirlpool form preserved in icy patterns. The temperature in the battlefield plummeted drastically.
“So cold,” Dongbo Xueying felt the piercing chill even through his body, and frost began forming on his surface.
With a thought, Dongbo Xueying’s supernatural fighting aura surged, shattering the frost covering his body. Yet, the endless coldness around him solidified once more. Dongbo Xueying could only continuously expel and shatter the ice with his supernatural fighting aura. If he stopped for even a moment, he would likely become a frozen statue. He tried to harness the power of fire from the Heaven and Earth, but the coldness was so pervasive that any fire energy was immediately dispelled!
“This is really cold. I have my supernatural fighting aura protecting me, and my body, awakened by ancient blood, is strong enough, yet I still feel the bone-deep chill,” Dongbo Xueying was astonished. Such coldness could probably kill a regular named-level knight instantly! Any weak new transcendent would be trembling in fear. He had just broken through, his body already at the middle stage of flying level, which was why his sixth opponent was so formidable.
In addition to the bone-deep cold, the endless chill exerted a powerful oppressive force, as if ten thousand pounds of gravity pressed down on him.
Coldness, oppression…
He could probably only unleash sixty to seventy percent of his strength. The cyan-haired man before him truly deserved the title of ‘medium-tier transcendent native.’
“Human, come on. Let me see how much you’ve got,” the cyan-haired man mocked, his body covered in a silvery-white icy layer, like a being of ice.
“Hmph,” Dongbo Xueying’s supernatural fighting aura continuously shattered the frost on his body as he dashed forward, leaving a trail, sprinting across the frozen water waves and almost instantly reaching the cyan-haired man.
Whoosh!
His spear transformed into countless illusions, unpredictable and mysterious.
The cyan-haired man’s hands, clad in silver gloves, reached out to grab Dongbo Xueying’s spear, yet found it slippery and hard to grasp. The spearhead twisted and pierced directly into him, hissing as the black spear struck the cyan-haired man’s body, chest, and throat. Yet, it only left white spots on the icy layer covering the cyan-haired man’s body, and the protective icy layer on his body shimmered with light, instantly restoring even the “white spots” created by the strikes!
“What a strange spear technique. I couldn’t even grab it. You scared me for a moment, thinking you were so powerful,” the cyan-haired man laughed.
“Hmph.”
Dongbo Xueying altered his spear technique, becoming ferociously powerful, the spearplay igniting with flames, its might surging.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The cyan-haired man easily blocked the spear strikes with his palms. The protective icy layers on his palms cracked and shattered, yet the silver-white gloves on his hands remained indestructible, effortlessly blocking the attacks. He quickly closed in, attempting to engage in close combat!
Dongbo Xueying immediately retreated violently.
“Cursed,” Dongbo Xueying’s expression changed instantly, “This transcendent native has also reached the realm of myriad things!”
After reaching the realm of myriad things, this transcendent native’s combat skills were clearly formidable.
As for himself?
If he relied on the mystery of water in the myriad things, it was unpredictable and could strike the opponent, but he couldn’t penetrate the protective icy layer.
If he relied on the mystery of fire in the myriad things, it could shatter the protective icy layer, but because it was too direct, the opponent could easily defend against it.
Each had its advantages and disadvantages.
Unless he used “Water-Fire Dragon Slaying!” This move was a technique he created by intricately combining the mysteries of water and fire in the myriad things, taking the strengths of both and enhancing their power through their combination. However, this move was his ultimate secret technique, his last resort. This transcendent life-and-death battle was a rare and relatively safe opportunity to hone himself!
He needed to seize every opportunity, only at the last moment would he be willing to use “Water-Fire Dragon Slaying.”
Using regular moves now could also hone the mysteries of water and fire. As these two mysteries improved, the power of “Water-Fire Dragon Slaying” would also increase.
“Hahahaha, human, you’re doomed to lose,” the cyan-haired man lunged in Madnessly. Under the oppressive chill, Dongbo Xueying’s speed was greatly reduced, and he couldn’t escape.
He could only desperately defend with his spear.
The cyan-haired man repeatedly tried to close in.
Dongbo Xueying used various spear techniques—sweeping, thrusting, breaking, entwining, and parrying—alternating between the mysteries of water and fire, desperately holding on.
…
But anyone could see that Dongbo Xueying was at an absolute disadvantage. He couldn’t threaten the cyan-haired transcendent native at all and was completely overwhelmed!
In a corner of the eastern viewing area.
The hunched old woman finally smiled: “I said so. This kid is so young, winning six matches is already amazing!”
“Big beauty Ye, you previously said this kid couldn’t win six matches,” bald and gaunt old man Chao Qing Proudly said, “Now Dongbo Xueying is at a disadvantage, but his ancient bloodline hasn’t erupted yet. Once it does, I believe winning this sixth match won’t be a problem.”
“Hmph, he relies on his ancient bloodline! Without it, he couldn’t have won six matches,” Old Lady Ye huffed coldly.
Chao Qing laughed with his mouth twisted sideways: “Hehehe… Big beauty, don’t forget, our bet was whether Dongbo Xueying could win six matches. You said he couldn’t, I said he could! Regardless of whether he relies on his ancient bloodline, as long as he wins the sixth match, I win this bet. Your ten thousand jin of source stones will belong to me!”
“Fine, they belong to you. I say you old fart, you’re almost dead, what use do you have for ten thousand jin of source stones?” Old Lady Ye was unhappy.
Even semi-gods rarely bet so big.
It was precisely these two old fellows nearing the end of their lives that the treasures meant little to them, so they casually bet so much! After all, once they died, their treasures would still be left to their descendants.
“Of course it’s useful. I can give it to my Water Source Monastery’s genius disciple, can’t I? For example, give a little to this Dongbo Xueying. Tsk tsk tsk, this is ten thousand source stones won from the Blood Blade Tavern’s Number One Killer, Big Beauty Ye! I’m happy just giving it to the younger generation casually,” Chao Qing said Proudly.
“Hmph, you just got lucky, I miscalculated a bit,” Old Lady Ye looked down below, “This Dongbo Xueying kid’s ancient bloodline is just a power surge, which is quite ordinary, not very helpful in the transcendent life-and-death battle. I estimate it’s only good for an extra one or two matches! I thought this kid had just entered the transcendent realm and was very young, so he was only at the first level of the myriad things realm. I didn’t expect him to combine the mysteries of water and fire so well, making it all the way to the sixth match!”
Old Lady Ye’s insight was sharp, and her original calculation wasn’t wrong.
However, Dongbo Xueying had improved in both the mysteries of water and fire. Although he was still at the first level of the myriad things realm, he had reached a relatively high level within that tier. Moreover, the two mysteries complemented each other very well.
That’s why he could make it to the sixth match without relying on a power surge!
“Loss is loss,” Chao Qing teased.
“I was careless, didn’t see clearly,” Old Lady Ye tried to argue.
“Loss is loss,” the old man Chao Qing continued to mock.
“You shut up!” Old Lady Ye glared.
“Loss is loss,” Chao Qing’s mouth curled into a smile, Proudbeyond words.
“You, you old fart, dare you bet again!” Old Lady Ye gritted her teeth.
Chao Qing was taken aback.
“I bet this kid can’t win the eighth match! At most, he’ll stop at the seventh!” Old Lady Ye stared at him, “Do you dare to bet? Still ten thousand jin of source stones!”
Chao Qing was silent.
In his calculation, Dongbo Xueying would probably have to unleash his ancient bloodline power to win the sixth match, and winning the seventh was already uncertain! The eighth match was almost hopeless!
But then again… after living a lifetime and nearing death, sometimes one just wanted to be reckless!
“I’m in!” Chao Qing said.
“You really dare to bet?” Old Lady Ye was surprised.
“Haha, if I win ten thousand jin from you before, I can just give it back to you!” Chao Qing laughed heartily.
“So reckless,” Old Lady Ye smiled, her face blooming like a flower.
“Got a lot of source stones, so reckless,” Chao Qing was Proud.
…
Lord Heshan, Master Sikong Yang, and Lord Bucheng—they were the true hegemonic figures of the human faction now, and they were all quite calm.
Lord Bucheng still lay on his side, casually watching below, drinking wine, and saying indifferently: “Not bad, made it to the sixth match. But judging from the look of things… he’ll have to rely on his ancient bloodline power surge to win the sixth match! At most, he’ll make it to the seventh, the eighth is definitely a loss.”
“Lord Bucheng is right,” Lords Heshan and Master Sikong Yang smiled in agreement.
