Chapter 814: Chapter 482: Shedding of a Heavenly Immortal_2
Snow Wood sighed, actually hoping deep in her heart that Logan would win. After all, compared to the ten thousand participants, she and Logan were somewhat more familiar with each other. Moreover, Logan had saved her life yesterday, so both emotionally and rationally, she hoped Logan would be safe and sound. In any case, the expressions of the people on the field varied widely.
Only the City Lord had a very calm expression, for while the others only saw the motions of the two combatants, the City Lord had discerned the true disparity. Although Logan had taken a step back first, it was in fact Cooper Nango who stopped first, because Cooper Nango had been shaken by Logan’s attack in that exchange.
It was just that the attack was incomplete, so he stood unflinching like a mountain. Indeed, in the next moment Cooper Nango stumbled back four or five steps and even spat out a trace of blood. If he hadn’t immediately stabilized himself, he would have probably taken a nasty fall. Those who had just begun to boast about Cooper Nango found themselves extremely embarrassed in the face of this development.
Could it be any more dramatic? It was true that one couldn’t tell who was superior until the last moment. Cooper Nango was clearly not in as good a condition as Logan. After all, Logan had only stepped back once, while Cooper Nango had been forced to retreat several steps, his complexion deathly pale. It was clear to anyone that in this first round of struggle, Logan had won by more than just a little.
At this moment, a good majority of the over ten thousand spectators were convinced that Logan would definitely win. Only a small portion who had heard of Cooper Nango’s reputation speculated that he was concealing his strength or that Logan’s attack had caught him off guard, but a serious Cooper Nango wouldn’t be so easy to handle.
Cooper Nango chuckled at this moment, his laugh full of amusement, “Interesting. You are very powerful. Among the young Heavenly Prides of the Southern Desolation, you have the qualification to battle me, so I don’t want to hide any strength. Now, let me show you true power.”
Cooper Nango brandished a demonic blade, surrounded by black aura, and slashed across. Instantly, myriad laws coalesced into an Ancient Divine Beast, seemingly about to cleave everything to bits, even causing some anomalies in heaven and earth, making all sentient beings seem incredibly insignificant.
“This Divine Skill is terrifying. Could it be Cooper Nango’s Signature Ultimate Technique? Without any exaggeration, this strike could be on par with a Quasi-Saint Emperor!”
Even the City Lord on the platform was full of praise, “If Cooper Nango grows up, within a hundred years, there might emerge a true Saint Emperor.”
Logan dared not be careless. The previous strike he had launched using a Top-Grade Spirit Stone, but this attack, with the strength from before, he would not be able to withstand it. He hence injected tens of millions of Spirit Stones into the Spirit Gathering Array, amplifying his power four or five times more than before.
Having already been comparable to the power of the Saint Seat Eighth Level, after the amplification several times over, he was now on par with a Quasi-Saint Emperor, particularly since the power from the Top-Grade Spirit Stones he used was especially pure, differing from the usual Cultivator’s Divine Skill, wherein a Cultivator would waste much power when exerting strength.
When their strikes collided once more, Logan remained as unmovable as a mountain, while Cooper Nango, just like Logan, remained static for quite a long time. This left the crowd below anxious, wondering whose power was superior. Why had the two of them suddenly stopped moving?
Even the reassembled members couldn’t see through it at this moment, because the Divine Skills displayed by the two were too powerful. Even as a Saint Emperor Powerhouse, one would be extremely apprehensive, so he couldn’t determine who won and who lost. But one thing was certain, regardless of which of the two was the victor, they had both proven their strength.
Within the entire Southern Desolation, not to mention the younger generation, even among the older generation of powerhouses, they ranked within the top hundred. The Southern Desolation had at least a few thousand Half-step Saint Emperors, but who among them could be like either of these two?
After a long silence, Cooper Nango suddenly let out a wry smile, “In the end, I was just a little weaker, such a pity that I lost to someone of the Saint Seat Second Level today. But our duel was fair and square, no one used any underhanded tactics, so I, Cooper Nango, am thoroughly convinced.”
Following that, Cooper Nango walked down from the Martial Stage alone, and it was only then that everyone understood Logan had indeed won. It was very unexpected; from the start, not a single person was optimistic about Logan, but now, all of a sudden, his strength was terrifying to such an extent—who could have imagined?
Even though Logan won, many still harbored doubts. Did he really rely on his own strength? It all seemed a bit far-fetched, especially since Logan’s Cultivation Level was only at the Saint Seat Second Level. And Cooper Nango, such a proud man—how could he possibly admit defeat willingly?
Logically, one would fight until the very last step. In short, this was all too mysterious. However, no matter what skepticism they held now, the fact that Logan had won was as solid as iron. And after stepping down from the stage and taking seven or eight steps forward, Cooper Nango suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and passed out, at which point all the previously whispering voices ceased. No one dared question Logan anymore.
It turned out that Cooper Nango’s voluntary admission of defeat was not a small matter; had he not admitted defeat, he might have collapsed on the stage. Being able to walk down steadily, Cooper Nango had already saved face. After all, no one would mock a strong one, even if this strong one had lost to another strong one.
At this moment, Logan too was filled with emotions. The previous fight was indeed dangerous. He had used up all his Top-Grade Spirit Stones just to barely defeat Cooper Nango. Cooper Nango was someone who knew when to yield; otherwise, if it had come down to a fight to the death, and Logan didn’t have enough Top-Grade Spirit Stones to activate the Spirit Gathering Array, he would have surely been the one to lose in the end.
Since Logan had defeated the person with the highest estimated combat power, he was now ranked first. However, to advance to the finals, he still needed to win three more matches. Of course, another option would be to advance directly if no one dared to challenge him further.
All the contestants had seen how Logan had defeated Cooper Nango, and faced with such a formidable opponent, who would dare to step up to challenge him? There was already a considerable gap between them and Cooper Nango; if even Cooper Nango couldn’t win, what chance did they have against someone even stronger?
Cooper Nango could walk down the stage with composure, but they did not possess such an ability. It was one thing to lose the match, but what if Logan left them barely alive, turned into invalids? How would they cope then?
Therefore, in the absence of challengers, Logan advanced directly to the semifinals. In fact, many people wanted to fight him, especially since Logan had exhausted a lot during his fight with Cooper Nango. But as the City Lord announced a twenty-minute rest, no one entertained that thought any longer.

For many disciples from large family clans, the top three spots in the martial contest were already pre-determined. However, with Cooper Nango’s elimination and Logan’s powerful display of strength, the competition was cast with a lot more possibilities. In the hearts of most, Logan was now definitely a strong contender for the first place.
Even among the remaining contestants, it was unclear if anyone could match Logan. If no one was hiding their true strength, Logan was naturally the strongest. However, disciples from major sects who were more low-key often kept their true realms a secret.
Even within the same sect, many did not know the true strength of others, as being too strong, although good, could also bring envy from others. For a genius to fall is far too simple; among the countless geniuses, how many can truly rise?
