The Way of The Dao

"This power!"

"Golden Core Realm?"

"Golden Core!"

"Young Master Feng has come this far?"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise, sensing Feng Xuan's powerful aura!

"He has really reached the Golden Core Stage?"

This time, the City Lord couldn't help but stand up with an expression full of shock, sensing Feng Xuan's fierce aura that even far surpassed his own cultivation. He too had not long ago reached the Golden Core Early Stage, but now the son of the Feng family seemed to have broken through and become much stronger than him.

"Xuan'er entered the next realm?" Feng Rao smiled with pride and happiness as he confirmed that his son had broken through to the Golden Core stage!

Golden Core!

Li Fengyuan tightened her grip on her sword nervously, feeling the growing anxiety in her heart as she felt Feng Xuan's powerful aura, feeling more and more hope in her fading away.

"You broke through?" Long Zhu asked dumbfounded as they looked at Feng Xuan. He could clearly feel the difference between their auras!

"Compared to you, I'm a true genius!" Feng Xuan arrogantly spat, "Admit your defeat and then you can avoid a humiliating defeat and you can keep some of your face and dignity. This tournament belongs to me."

Long Zhu gritted his teeth in fury. What Feng Xuan said was right! Even if someone half-step is more powerful than a Late Stage or Golden Core Peak, he is still not an opponent of someone who has actually entered this realm!

"I don't think I can't beat you!" Long Zhu frantically circulated his cultivation essence, glaring fiercely at Feng Xuan.

Long Zhu didn't want to give up yet!

"It's useless for you to try to resist." Feng Xuan sneered. His aura increased by several more folds.

"Begin!"

Seeing that Long Zhu did not retreat, the referee announced the start of the tournament.

* Swoosh! *

Long Zhu disappeared from the spot when the next moment he was at Feng Xuan's side, raising his hand as a claw formed with his cultivation essence and directed it towards Feng Xuan!

"I told you it's useless." Feng Xuan looked with a smirk and only waved his hand towards Long Zhu.

"Kugh!" Long Zhu groaned and recoiled from the impact when he felt Feng Xuan's aura. His claw made by his power burst out and disappeared, feeling the clear difference strength.

"Wow!"

"He only waved his hand and Young Master Long stepped back!"

Exclamations in the audience became vigorous, watching the fight with excitement.

The difference between someone half-step and a real one really was wide!

"You're not even worthy of me using any of my skills on you." Feng Xuan maintained an arrogant and powerful pose and expression, charming the hearts of the young women watching him and said, "Only with my aura can I make you give up."

Feng Xuan had faced many opponents when he was at the Profound Sky Academy! He had a great streak of winning back to back opponents even in his own realm!

Long Zhu growled and glared fiercely at Feng Xuan, "It seems like you hid very well when we were at the Academy. But don't think that just because you managed to break through you will be able to defeat me easily. Now I will show you why our surname is Long and where our true strength comes from!" Long Zhu understood perfectly well the difference in strength in that single, simple exchange of blows. He knew that he could not beat Feng Xuan in this way.

Then, Long Zhu took out a small pill from his storage ring and swallowed it.

Feng Xuan frowned when he couldn't see what kind of pill Long Zhu had consumed.

"It really burns..." Long Zhu whispered with difficulty as he felt his body, rather his blood boiling all over!

* Boom! *

When no one knew what was happening, bursts of power came from Long Zhu!

* Roar! *

A fierce dragon-like roar was heard as a dragon-like snake figure manifested above Long Zhu!

"A dragon?" Feng Xuan was shocked as he saw Long Zhu's burst of power and saw the image being created on him, with a snake with glowing scales flying around him.

"This is my blood lineage! We come from the true and ancient dragons!" Long Zhu shouted with excitement and laughed madly.

Feng Xuan finally took Long Zhu seriously, sensing that his aura was beginning to approach his own. Long Zhu had increased his power drastically and although he had not entered the Golden Core officially, he is still more powerful than an ordinary one!

"The Long family really are descendants of dragons?"

"They should be! I wouldn't be surprised if young master Long won despite having a lower cultivation than young master Feng."

"Yes! After all, with great lineage and background, he should be very powerful!"

"It is said that the ancestors of the Long family found the remains of a dragon and some drops of blood. With some ancient and mysterious techniques, they managed to mix those bloods into themselves, becoming more powerful!"

Long Zhu moved much faster this time, approaching Feng Xuan in an instant and striking out with his hand!

"Tch!" Feng Xuan clicked his tongue and had to retreat, feeling that he would not come out unscathed if he confronted him directly. Even so, he was still still calm and not at all desperate.

The space around Long Zhu began to distort, demonstrating the mighty power he had!

"Why are you dodging now? You no longer have the confidence like you did a few moments ago?" Long Zhu sneered at Feng Xuan as he dodged his attack.

"You think I'm afraid of you?" But Feng Xuan responded with the same mockery, finally circulating his true cultivation essence.

Feng Xuan gathered all of his aura and then expanded it around him in a small area, still reaching to surround Long Zhu.

Long Zhu frowned as he felt an obvious but slight change in the air, sensing the gathering of energy around Feng Xuan.

* Boom! *

Long Zhu once again returned to attack Feng Xuan, using the image of the dragon-snake directing it towards Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan waved his arm and a large amount of energy crashed into Long Zhu. But he still continued to gather his power around him.

Feng Xuan could truly be said to be a genius to be able to do both at the same time.

Long Zhu tried to hit Feng Xuan a couple more times, but without being able to succeed. Although he had increased his power by several folds, he was still no match for Feng Xuan.

* Boom! *

The stage shook as the energies collided!

"It's still useless!"

"No one can beat me! Even if you have a powerful bloodline, you are still inferior to me!"

Feng Xuan laughed arrogantly unaffected by Long Zhu's attack.

"I'll show you what it's like to actually win with power difference!"

Then, the aura that had been accumulating Feng Xuan around him burst out once again!

A strange pressure enveloped Long Zhu immediately, restricting much of his strength!

"What is this?" Long Zhu furrowed his eyebrows and tried to expel more power as he felt a heavy layer of energy fall on him.

The snake-dragon figure roared fiercely, trying to help Long Zhu. But after a few seconds, everyone could see that the beast flickered, as if at any moment it was about to disappear!

"This battle is already won." Ji Zhen looked calmly and said upon seeing Feng Xuan's technique. He couldn't help but be a little surprised to find out that Long Zhu had a bloodline from ancient times.

Too bad it was wasted on a guy like that. If Ji Zhen had that kind of bloodline, he would be sure that he could defeat more powerful opponents, he could even advance faster in his cultivation.

Long Zhu fiercely punched the air, being ineffective as he felt the pressure gradually increase.

Feng Xuan had not moved from his spot, simply glaring at Long Zhu mockingly as he completed his martial skill.

"This skill is called The Invincible Step!"

Feng Xuan took a single step towards Long Zhu and the pressure in the surroundings completely exploded!
