Guo Wei quickened his pace towards the arena.
Xiao Yong frowned upon seeing Yang Xiaotian’s upcoming battle with Guo Wei, commenting, “I didn’t expect Yang Xiaotian to face Guo Wei in this match.” His intention had been to personally take down Yang Xiaotian.
But now, given Yang Xiaotian’s match against Guo Wei, defeat seemed inevitable, and he would no longer have the chance to take down Yang Xiaotian with his own hands.
The guards by his side, aware of Xiao Yong’s thoughts, said, “Your Highness, even if Yang Xiaotian loses to Guo Wei, there will be plenty of opportunities to punish him in the future. After all, he passed the entrance examination for Tiandou Academy. Once he’s inside, it will be easy for you to do whatever you wish with him.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yong nodded and smiled, “You’re right. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. There’s no need to rush.”
When Yang Xiaotian saw Guo Wei stepping briskly onto the arena, he immediately began to walk towards it as well.
Almost everyone’s gaze fell upon Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei.
On the VIP platform, Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui, Sun Ze, and others also focused their attention on the arena where Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei stood.
“I didn’t expect Yang Xiaotian to actually face Guo Wei,” Xie Hong said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Yang Xiaotian’s strength had been apparent to all; he had the potential to rank among the top five.
But facing Guo Wei now, it seemed he wouldn’t even make it into the top ten.
Fan Riquan said with a smile, “Even though Yang Xiaotian won’t make it into the top ten, this young man is still worth cultivating.”
Generally speaking, the top ten students from each recruitment examination would receive focused training from Tiandou Academy.
Zhong Yun, however, said, “According to the rules, only the top ten are eligible for our academy’s focused training. Since Yang Xiaotian cannot make it into the top ten, he shouldn’t receive that privilege.”
“Moreover, his strength is only due to doping. A student like that is unlikely to achieve much in the future.”
Sun Ze also said, “The Great Elder is correct. Since he can’t make it into the top ten, he shouldn’t be considered for focused training. It’s a pity he doesn’t share his sister’s talents; he doesn’t even have a level twelve Martial Soul. Otherwise, we might have made an exception for him.”
In the past, the academy did make exceptions. If a student didn’t make it into the top ten but possessed a Martial Soul above level twelve, the academy would still break its rules and focus on cultivating that student.
The headmaster of Profound Ice Academy, Zhang He, chuckled coldly upon seeing Yang Xiaotian going to face Guo Wei. Profound Ice Academy had always maintained a good relationship with Wuding Academy, and Guo Wei had already promised him that if he encountered Yang Xiaotian, he would beat him as one would a dog.
Prince Gu Xi of Ancient Sword Kingdom also shook his head upon seeing Yang Xiaotian’s match with Guo Wei.
Chen Changqing, He Le, and a few others also looked towards Yang Xiaotian and Guo Wei on the arena, their faces a mix of mirth and bitterness.
It was unfortunate that their Hall Master had to face none other than Guo Wei, the strongest contender.
On the arena, Guo Wei stood with his hands behind his back, looking across at Yang Xiaotian with a grin. ‘Yang Xiaotian, you didn’t expect to face me, did you?”
Yang Xiaotian replied indifferently, “To me, there’s no difference between you and Hu Xiangqian.” As soon as Yang Xiaotian finished his sentence, the audience reacted vehemently.
“Yang Xiaotian is far too arrogant, daring to show such disdain towards Guo Wei!”
“Who does he think he is? Even Xiao Yong and Lin Xiao wouldn’t dare to belittle Guo Wei.”
Various outcries erupted.
Even Xie Hong, the headmaster of Tiandou Academy, frowned, feeling that Yang Xiaotian’s words were over the top.
Zhong Yun went further, snorting, “Foolish boy! Not even knowing if he can withstand a single punch from Guo Wei and yet he dares to make such insolent claims.”
Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui, and others similarly shook their heads.
Clearly, they also thought Yang Xiaotian was being too bold.
Chen Changqing, He Le, and their companions were equally speechless.
Guo Wei couldn’t help but laugh in anger, Yang Xiaotian was actually comparing him to Hu Xiangqian.
“Fine, Yang Xiaotian, I want to see if you truly have the strength to treat me like Hu Xiangqian,” Guo Wei laughed heartily as he fully activated his True Yuan, an intimidating aura that could shock Heaven and Earth spreading from him.
“Martial King seventh level late stage!”
In the previous few matches, Guo Wei had not revealed his true realm, Now that Guo Wei’s realm was revealed, everyone was greatly shocked.
Even Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong were surprised.
“A peerless genius!” Zhong Yun exclaimed in amazement, very excited, “Guo Wei is truly a Divine Spirit reincarnate, a genius. Once our academy nurtures him, he will definitely become a Divine Spirit in the future and protect our academy!”
A Divine Spirit is without a doubt a supreme ruler of the Azure God Continent.
Having a Divine Spirit Realm protector could ensure the millennium-long prosperity of Tiandou Academy.
Xie Hong was also excited, “This student, I will take him as my disciple and teach him personally.”
Fan Riquan smiled and said, “With the head of the academy instructing him, he will definitely become a peerless Sword God.”
Xie Hong chuckled, revealing the excitement in his heart.
Even Yang Xiaotian was surprised that Guo Wei was at the Martial King seventh level late stage.
Martial King seventh level late stage, huh?
A surge of fighting spirit rose in Yang Xiaotian’s heart, as he wanted to use this fight with Guo Wei to test his current combat strength.
After Guo Wei unveiled his Martial King seventh level late stage realm, suddenly, his whole body flashed with thunder and lightning, and from the Nine Heavens above, thunder descended, entwining around Guo Wei. The astonishing power of thunder and lightning faced the surrounding Heaven and Earth.
The surrounding disciples all stepped back in shock.
“This is the Ancient Thunder God Art, the number one body tempering art of ancient times!” Xie Hong stood up abruptly upon witnessing this scene and exclaimed in shock.
“What, the Ancient Thunder God Art!” A large number of academy experts and Sect powerhouses were astounded.
The Ancient Thunder God Art, the number one body tempering art of ancient times, was rumored to turn its practitioners into Thunder Gods at the pinnacle realm, making their bodies invincible, virtually indestructible.
Everyone knew Guo Wei had cultivated an ancient body tempering art, rendering his flesh indestructible, but no one knew it was the Ancient Thunder God Art. Now that they’d seen that Guo Wei had been practicing the premier body tempering art of ancient times, everyone was boiling with excitement.
“Excellent! Excellent! Heaven has blessed Tiandou Academy with such a genius joining our ranks!” Xie Hong couldn’t contain his excitement.
He was always steady, but today, seeing Guo Wei’s talent and defiance of the heavens, he couldn’t help but be moved.
Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, and the others were also extremely excited.
With Guo Wei having cultivated the Ancient Thunder God Art, his body was absolutely tempered to an extremely perfect state. With such a perfect body, any swordsmanship or Divine Skills he practiced from Tiandou Academy would be twice as effective with half the effort.
Guo Wei fully activated the Ancient Thunder God Art, bringing down constant thunder from the Nine Heavens, coiling around his body like a Thunder Serpent.
Feeling the immense power of his body, his eyes sparked with the radiance of thunder as he said to Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, didn’t you say you consider me the same as Hu Xiangqian? Now, let’s see if you can take my punch!”
Having spoken, he dashed forward, as fast as lightning, arriving in front of Yang Xiaotian, and hurled a punch straight at him.
As Guo Wei’s punch was thrown, the thunder and lightning filled the sky, with Guo Wei appearing as if he was a Thunder God himself, bringing thunder with his presence.
The endless power of thunder and lightning accompanied Guo Wei’s punch, hitting Yang Xiaotian’s chest.
His eyes fierce, he aimed to explode Yang Xiaotian with a single punch..
