"Beat me, and it's yours," the brawny man said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan also leaped onto the Combat Platform. He… had agreed.
"The Huangfu family is rather interesting. How do they have so many treasures?"
Even Long Chengyu had gained a newfound appreciation for the five Huangfu members.
The treasures they had produced so far alone spoke volumes about their family's extraordinary heritage.
"They might be a reclusive clan, but I've truly never heard of them before," Long Muxi said.
On the Combat Platform, Qin Xuan looked at the brawny man. "Won't you introduce yourself?"
"Huangfu Shangwu." The moment the brawny man finished speaking, he appeared behind Qin Xuan. A massive fist descended from above, hurtling straight toward Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan didn't dodge. Instead, three layers of aura erupted from his body simultaneously. In the span of a heartbeat, he elevated his cultivation from the sixth rank of Half God to the ninth rank.
At the same time, a formidable pressure burst forth and swept outward.
He had apparently anticipated the other party's sudden attack — not only was he prepared, but he had already devised a strategy.
If the opponent launched a sneak attack, he would simply launch a counterattack of his own.
At such close range, tripling his cultivation in an instant meant that under normal circumstances, the opponent would have no chance to react and would lose immediately.
But who would have thought that Qin Xuan's pressure would fail to send Huangfu Shangwu flying?
So Qin Xuan quickly lunged forward to dodge.
Looking back, Huangfu Shangwu's fist had landed precisely where Qin Xuan had been standing moments before.
Moreover, Huangfu Shangwu now had lightning flickering all over his body. Not only were there lightning patterns on his head, but he was clad in a suit of thunder armor, and behind him stretched two enormous wings of lightning.
"Those are Lightning Wings."
"He can also elevate his cultivation by three ranks?"
"Can someone at the Half God realm truly master a Heavenly-grade bloodline to such an extent?"
The spectators stared at Huangfu Shangwu in astonishment.
Even Chu Feng's gaze shifted subtly.
He could tell that Huangfu Shangwu's Lightning Wings were not crafted through some special technique.
They were genuinely and completely mastered — true Lightning Wings.
This man was formidable!
"It seems I need to take this seriously."
As Qin Xuan spoke, he flipped his palm, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand.
The moment the golden longsword materialized, the heaven and earth energy across the entire Combat Platform trembled.
And Qin Xuan's combat power surged dramatically.
That was a Divine Weapon!
"Come. This time, you strike first." Huangfu Shangwu beckoned at Qin Xuan.
"Are you not going to draw your Divine Weapon?" Qin Xuan asked.
"Someone who cultivates through a Mystic Art doesn't deserve to make me use mine," Huangfu Shangwu said.
"What arrogance," the crowd murmured. Regardless of anything else, Qin Xuan was the strongest prodigy of the Firmament Celestial Sect.
In everyone's opinion, even if this man truly wasn't weak, looking down on Qin Xuan to this degree would come at a price.
Yet Qin Xuan, facing Huangfu Shangwu's brazen attitude, did not grow careless.
He chose not to engage in close combat. Instead, he swung his Divine Weapon longsword, and wave after wave of powerful sword energy hurtled outward.
"Hmph."
Facing Qin Xuan's assault, Huangfu Shangwu let out a light snort and threw a single punch. Lightning erupted in all directions, not only shattering Qin Xuan's sword energy but also surging onward toward Qin Xuan without dissipating.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan had no choice but to act again. But the next instant, a figure appeared behind him — it was Huangfu Shangwu.
Qin Xuan sensed something wrong and quickly used a movement technique to create distance. After pulling back, he launched another offensive, but it was once again blocked by Huangfu Shangwu.
"Qin Xuan is going to lose," Xianhai Shaoyu said.
Chu Feng agreed.
Qin Xuan had already drawn his Divine Weapon to boost his combat power, yet against Huangfu Shangwu, he still held no advantage.
On the contrary, Huangfu Shangwu hadn't even exerted his full strength — it felt as though he were toying with Qin Xuan.
Unless Qin Xuan still had a trump card, the outcome was already decided.
And in Chu Feng's eyes, once Qin Xuan had discovered that Huangfu Shangwu could manifest Lightning Wings, he had treated this battle with the utmost seriousness from the very start.
"That should be about enough."
