Chapter 589: Chapter 589: The Second Battle, Submission

Boom!

A human figure flew out like a cannonball, with astonishing speed.

Before the crowd could react, they saw the figure crash into the stone wall of the competition arena. Due to the wall’s incredibly solid nature, the figure’s momentum was abruptly stopped, slumping against the wall.

Lin Yi.

What?

Everyone couldn’t believe their eyes; such a powerful figure had been defeated, and so swiftly that no one could even react in time.

Hiss!

The crowd looked towards Shi Hao, only to see him slowly withdrawing his fist, his expression supremely calm.

Damn, did this guy just take out Lin Yi with one punch?

How terrifying was this strength?

Look at before, Zhang Shi was ranked among the top practitioners of Heavenly Palace Academy’s ’Self-Observation’, with a position of twenty-fourth in the official rankings, yet not even he was a match for Lin Yi in a single strike. But in Shi Hao’s hands, Lin Yi was sent flying with one punch.

It’s not that you don’t recognize a good product; it’s that there’s always something better to compare with!

Too strong, this is just too strong, it makes one’s scalp tingle.

Lu An, however, was staring blankly at Shi Hao. He had been looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Yi was sent flying.

F*ck, why didn’t you say you were that strong earlier? You even seemed to be cooperating with me. And what now?

I was dead serious, solemnly preparing to join forces and launch a combined attack, but you just knocked him down with one punch, so effortlessly. With such a stark contrast, it made him seem like a clown.

So embarrassing!

In his heart, Lu An was resentful, but at this moment, he didn’t dare to complain to Shi Hao at all.

—Isn’t this asking for trouble?

The mentors from Ling Tian Academy were also taken aback; they had not anticipated Lin Yi not only being defeated but being defeated so quickly and effortlessly.

An overwhelming advantage.

The two leading teachers of the academy, Song Taining and Wang Ying, both were figures of ’Great Sacrificial Heaven’, and they exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes. One was because of Shi Hao’s strength, and the other was that such a promising talent had not been recruited by Ling Tian Academy.

To think, before the opening of Heavenly Palace Academy, Ling Tian Academy had secretly admitted a round of students, all of them were the most outstanding geniuses from the Four Continents. Only after that did Heavenly Palace Academy pick up the leftovers.

Who would have thought that Heavenly Palace Academy would actually pick up such a huge oversight.

But, was this youth really ’Self-Observation’?

Could there be such a powerful ’Self-Observation’?

Because the competition field was separated by a Formation, their domains could not penetrate it, so they could not determine Shi Hao’s cultivation level.

But then again, if Heavenly Palace Academy allowed someone from the Founding King Court to pretend to be ’Self-Observation’ to win victories, firstly, it would be meaningless, and secondly, once the competition ended, they could find out the truth, which would be very embarrassing.

"Xiao Hei, you’re up next," Song Taining said.

A slender young man nodded his head and stood up from the seat, stepping into the arena.

Ling Tian Academy sent another combatant.

In the spectator seats, the students all held their breath, awaiting the outcome.

After the first victory, they didn’t cheer, because they knew that they had only defeated one Ling Tian Academy contestant. If the subsequent matches were to result in their complete defeat, then wouldn’t the current cheers turn into the greatest mockery?

Hence, they were hoping that Shi Hao could continue to win.

Lu An? Heh.

Everyone was looking at the slender young man; he was dressed in coarse hemp clothing, nothing eye-catching, and tied around his waist was a Bamboo Sword, naturally without a sheath, appearing exceptionally simplistic.

However, they all knew that the contestant sent out by Ling Tian Academy for the second battle had to be even stronger.

Must not be taken lightly, absolutely not to be underestimated.

The slender young man didn’t walk fast, but with each step, he was unwaveringly steady. When he was about ten feet away from Shi Hao, he suddenly drew his sword.

Hum!

All those who were armed found themselves shocked to discover that their weapons were trembling and emitting a clear ringing sound, as if paying homage to a sovereign.

A powerful Sword Intent swept over them, making them want to prostrate themselves.

They were horrified, and upon looking at the young man in the center again, they felt he was not like a person at all but a supreme Divine Sword unsheathed, its brilliance unmatched, capable of severing the heavens.

"Sword, Sword Body!" someone said with a trembling voice, shaking all over.

Sword Body!

Although those who could enter the Heavenly Palace Academy were somewhat inferior to the individuals from Ling Tian Academy, each was a genius with broad knowledge.

They had all heard of the Sword Body, one of the strongest physiques in the world, ranked alongside the Tyrant Body, Sun Body, and Nine Yang Sacred Body. In a battle of equal rank, the victor could crush the opponent solely with their physique.

However, such a mighty physique existed only in legends, and to witness it now was unthinkable!

It’s over, it’s over!

The Ling Tian Academy is too defiant of the heavens, even finding someone with the heaven-defying Sword Body. Facing such an opponent, who of the same rank could win?

What about Gu Shiyun, the most monstrous talent of all time?

Amidst the trembling crowd, the Sword Body took big strides towards Shi Hao, with each step bringing a more powerful Sword Intent.

In the air, sword shadows emerged, as if the heavens themselves were conspiring to lend their strength to this Sword Body.

This is indeed the strongest physique in the world!

When the Sword Body approached within ten feet of Shi Hao, his surroundings were already surrounded by sword shadows, each filled with a substantial presence, any one of which could shatter the firmament with a casual slash.

In the stands, Weng Nanqing too furrowed her brows.

She naturally had confidence in Shi Hao, believing him to be capable of sweeping aside his peers in strength, but the problem was that his opponent was too extraordinary.

A Sword Body, one of the strongest physiques in the world!

Why didn’t Shi Hao launch an attack? Why did he let the Sword Body fully exhibit its physical superiority?

Too complacent, too confident. You have no idea how strong the Sword Body is—

Thud!

Before she could even complete her thought, the scene in the center caused everyone’s eyeballs to nearly pop out.

The Sword Body suddenly knelt on one knee, bowing towards Shi Hao.

Shit!

All at once, everyone in the audience opened their mouths wide, their expressions akin to seeing a ghost.

This is really unbelievable.

How is this possible!

You built it up for so long, stirring up the mood among everyone, just to perform this earth-shattering kneel?

Sword Body, you are a Sword Body, an invincible Sword Body amongst your peers!

Shi Hao smiled faintly and said, "I thought you hadn’t come to the South Wood Continent. Turns out you had entered Ling Tian Academy."

"Mm." Xiao Hei nodded, as he has always been poor at words and even less willing to think.

His life consisted of eating and practicing the sword.

"Shi Hao wins!" The referee hesitated for a moment before announcing the result.

What a joke, when one side has already knelt.

But even then, it was too weird, and even the students of the Heavenly Palace Academy forgot to cheer. They indeed hoped Shi Hao would win, but the victory came in a way that was just too inexplicable.

"Let’s leave it at that for now, we’ll talk more later," Shi Hao said.

"Yes." Xiao Hei obeyed, as he was more accustomed to following orders than making decisions for himself.

This!

Song Taining and Wang Ying both bared their teeth.
