Chapter 782: 782

"Eagle Strikes the Heavens!"

"That’s a signature move from Fengmo Ting’s Thunderbird Sword Technique, one of the most terrifyingly powerful. It looks like he’s planning to defeat Po Qian Jun in one move."

"Exactly, when he performs the Thunderbird Sword Technique with that special narrow saber in his hand, not only does it retain its full power, but it has even increased after his modifications. Additionally, the Eagle Strikes the Heavens move transforms into twelve thunderbirds, attacking the enemy from all directions with incredible speed, leaving the opponent no chance to dodge.

Once hit, one will face relentless pursuit. Without a way to counter, they can only passively take the beating."

Listening to the martial artists’ discussions, Ling Xiao had a different opinion.

Fengmo Ting was indeed formidable. Using sword techniques as saber techniques, the power didn’t diminish but instead enhanced.

But sword techniques are sword techniques.

Saber technique is a saber technique.

There’s always a difference.

Ling Xiao felt that Fengmo Ting was simply doing something foolish. If he used a sword, this set of sword techniques could definitely be elevated to an even more terrifying level.

However, it must be said that the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect are different, casually practicing treasure-grade martial skills.

And to think that he even grasped a bit of the thunder and lightning will.

Of course, it’s just a bit, not complete, and it probably has something to do with Fengmo Ting’s Martial Spirit as well."

"Lose!"

With that move unleashed, Fengmo Ting stood proudly.

He was absolutely confident in this move. With Po Qian Jun’s strength, it was utterly impossible to dodge.

He was already prepared for the follow-up moves, a series of combos that would undoubtedly lead to Po Qian Jun’s defeat.

Seeing that attack, Po Qian Jun just grinned.

He was wielding a sword.

A real sword!

Not the kind of narrow saber that Fengmo Ting held.

"Thunderbird Sword Technique, huh? Today, I’ll teach you the true essence of this sword technique!"

Po Qian Jun sneered, and the treasured sword in his hand wrapped in thunder and lightning attributes swung out, producing a dozen Thunderbird Sword Qi as well.

Only his Sword Qi was even more fierce and controlled with ease.

Eagle Strikes the Heavens!

Boom!

The same technique collided in mid-air, the energy generated from the impact forced both of them to retreat.

Only Fengmo Ting clearly looked more embarrassed.

"How do you also know the Thunderbird Sword Technique!"

Fengmo Ting could scarcely believe it. This sword technique was supposed to be Heavenly King Sect’s closely guarded secret, which could not be learned unless one was a disciple of the Heavenly King Sect.

More incomprehensible to him was that Po Qian Jun’s "Eagle Strikes the Heavens" was even more powerful than his own move.

This was something he couldn’t accept.

The audience and martial artists below were just as perplexed.

However, Ling Xiao understood the reason.

Dragon Sky Academy itself was based around the Heavenly King Sect; thus, Po Qian Jun could easily be considered a disciple of the Heavenly King Sect as well.

It was very normal for him to learn the Thunderbird Sword Technique.

As for why his technique was more powerful than Fengmo Ting’s, there was no other reason than that Po Qian Jun used a real sword.

This was also Ling Xiao’s previous judgment.

"So formidable, this Po Qian Jun has actually broken through Fengmo Ting’s technique!"

"Truly unexpected, Po Qian Jun’s performance in the preliminary rounds was not that impressive, yet now he’s this powerful."

"Perhaps they concealed their strength during the preliminaries, it seems this year’s Martial Arts Festival finals will be truly interesting. With geniuses and monsters springing up incessantly, who knows what surprises are yet to come."

Although many people didn’t understand how Po Qian Jun managed to learn the ’Thunderbird Sword Technique’, nor could they comprehend how his sword techniques could overcome those of Wind Devil Fengmo Ting.

But they still had keen eyes, and could at the very least discern that Po Qian Jun’s strength was certainly not inferior to Fengmo Ting’s—in fact, it could even be said to be superior.

"Just give up, you’re no match for me!"

Po Qian Jun didn’t answer Fengmo Ting’s question, but arrogantly stated instead.

"Hmph, do you really think you can win against me just like that?"

Fengmo Ting snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing to slits in an instant.

"Thunderbird transforms into a serpent!"

After all, he was the expert who ranked nineteenth in the last Martial Arts Festival finals, and the sixth-ranked Core Disciple of the Heavenly King Sect; even if his moves were blocked by Po Qian Jun, he wasn’t going to be defeated in a flash.

After a moment of panic and unease, he quickly regained his composure. The narrow saber in his hand circled around his body for a full rotation, the Thunderbird transformed into a slender serpent-bird, then twisted its elongated body and shot toward Po Qian Jun at high speed.

At the same time, behind Fengmo Ting, there appeared a bird made entirely of lightning.

That must be his Martial Soul, the ’Thunderhawk’.

"Stubborn fool!"

Po Qian Jun sneered, and a Martial Soul phantom also manifested behind him, also a Thunderhawk, but whether in size or in its dazzling presence, it seemed stronger than Fengmo Ting’s.

Although the opponent’s moves were formidable, with the saber Qi coming from a wickedly strange angle, making it difficult for a strength-type contestant to defend against.

Dodging seemed unlikely; one could only desperately defend.

Yet Po Qian Jun was precisely that strength-type contestant.

But he was also a bit different.

Possessing the Thunderhawk Martial Spirit, he had mastered a trace of thunder and lightning will, allowing him to make his moves extremely fast in an instant.

Using the same move, the same collision.

The sword in Po Qian Jun’s hand struck at an even stranger angle, not only shattering the serpent-bird but taking it one step further, the sword pierced Fengmo Ting’s leg.

"It’s over."

Ling Xiao gently shook his head.

In his opinion, what made Po Qian Jun superior to Fengmo Ting lay in the mastery of the Martial Soul and the will of thunder and lightning.

Their strength was very close, and the outcome depended entirely on the performance in actual combat.

And clearly, Po Qian Jun performed better.

As Ling Xiao said, the battle ended, and Fengmo Ting was kicked off the Martial Arts Platform by Po Qian Jun.

From the beginning to the end, Fengmo Ting was led by the nose by Po Qian Jun; of course, the biggest problem was the choice of weapon.

It was a grave mistake to pick a saber for executing sword techniques, even if the two were very similar—it still wouldn’t do.

If you liked using a saber, then cultivating saber techniques would suffice.

Having defeated Wind Devil Fengmo Ting with ease, Po Qian Jun instantly became the hottest figure in the tenth group, unmatched in prominence for the moment.

Experts from the other groups also took notice of Po Qian Jun’s presence.

"Alas, he couldn’t hold back after all."

Feng Yaorao sighed and said, "The fact that Qian Jun was selected as a Disciple of the Dragon Sky Academy speaks volumes of his potential and strength, his Martial Spirit may not be an Ancient Martial Soul, but it’s certainly no less inferior."

"I guess Po Qian Jun will stand out from the tenth group; other than Fengmo Ting and Zhai Juan, there aren’t many experts left in that group."

"Yeah, having defeated Wind Devil Fengmo Ting, the rest will be smooth sailing for him."

"The ones feeling the worst are those from the first five groups—the top ten contenders are all there."

"It’s a good thing each group has ten advancing; otherwise, these people would be in tears."

"Right? Didn’t you see in those groups, whenever someone faced powerhouses like the Holy Son or Mo Wu Shang, they would directly forfeit; losing one or two matches doesn’t matter, there’s still a chance to advance."
