Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 535 - 240: Complete Victory

Jiang Zi Yun was just talking to Bai Xiaozhu when he saw Xu Guang walking out of the Imperial Tower.

Having watched for a while, only he came out alone.

"Won?"

Bai Xiaozhu was stunned, turned around and saw Xu Guang, "Really won?"

Xu Guang was about to speak.

Then he saw his figure suddenly appear in the small square in front of the Imperial Tower, as if it were footage of the previous battle.

Like a brilliant replay.

The scene was replayed with ultra-high-speed slow motion, clearly showing the complete clash between Xu Guang and Ji Yue Ru.

At the moment Ji Yue Ru launched her attack, the Five-Colored Divine Light surged, and the unstoppable attack seemed to be paused, disappearing with a bang in mid-air, only to see Ji Yue Ru’s figure pause, and then rapidly plummet.

From start to finish, Xu Guang seemed to have displayed no techniques other than his crystalline eyes, and few people even saw how Ji Yue Ru fell from the air.

"Battle duration, three breaths."

Everyone’s eyes widened, shocked by this duration.

"That woman, if I’m not mistaken, was wearing the Shattered Star Fleece series of armor, right? That is to say, her background is significant."

"That’s not important, her opponent is even more terrifying, three breaths, anyone wearing such armor can’t be weak."

Jiang Zi Yun and Bai Xiaozhu also moved their gaze away from the spectral image in the square and simultaneously looked at Xu Guang.

"Boss, you..."

"Brother Guang."

Xu Guang smiled and waved his hand, "Just lucky, the opponent seemed unfamiliar with the means of spiritual attack."

"I see, it seems the effort you put into cultivation recently hasn’t gone to waste," Jiang Zi Yun said.

Bai Xiaozhu’s expression was strange. She didn’t recognize Ji Yue Ru, but from her attire, she knew it was absolutely impossible for the other party not to have seen a spiritual attack.

"Isn’t it possible that, Boss, your spiritual attack was just too strong?"

Xu Guang neither confirmed nor denied. His Wuxiang Tribulation Mind Technique was indeed very strong, but it was also because Ji Yue Ru became too complacent at the end. She seemed to mistake his spiritual attack for an illusion technique.

"What is this thing for?"

The cycle tournament shouldn’t be broadcast live, so why is there a light curtain in the square?

"Consider it a perk. I’ve heard from senior brothers that it’s to record the top ten battles, and those selected will get a small reward."

Xu Guang realized that this wasn’t necessarily a great thing for him.

The first battle, with the entire battle replayed for everyone to see, meant that everyone could now see he used divine martial techniques, and his future opponents would probably be wary of him.

...

Cloud Dragon Pavilion.

The hall was silent, a dead silence.

Old Ji squinted his eyes, looking solemnly at the amazing scene in the image.

"A spiritual attack, such a powerful technique."

"Who is this? In the last Northern Imperial Academy examination competition, this person wasn’t seen, is he someone who got lucky over these three years?"

Someone spoke next to him.

"No, I somewhat remember this name, seems like someone from the Outer State this year."

"Joined the Northern Imperial Academy only this year?"

Old Ji shook his head slightly, "Yue Ru was unlucky. As everyone might have heard, this century someone will become a saint, and Xu Guang is the most hopeful one; didn’t expect Yue Ru’s first opponent turned out to be him."

Everyone was enlightened.

Eighty years ago, Shen Ji Zi traveled through the Thirty-Three Eastern States and the various states of Penglai, leaving behind such a prophecy.

With his reputation, even a casual remark wouldn’t be doubted by many in Jizhou.

Xu Guang... a future saint?

The expressions of the crowd became subtle, perhaps it was worth trying to get in touch with him.

Saints aren’t too uncommon in Jizhou, and in most first-rate powers, there exists a saint foundation.

But there are differences among saints.

With Shen Ji Zi’s strength, even the old monsters of the Six Northern Academies had to treat him seriously, and any saint he respectfully mentioned must not be an ordinary one, perhaps extremely powerful, perhaps with infinite potential.

"Old Ji, isn’t Xu Guang’s means the Wuxiang Tribulation Mind Technique from the Northern Imperial Academy? But Yue Ru should know this martial technique too, why was she so careless?"

Old Ji nodded, showing a touch of emotion, "Most likely, it’s this martial technique. Yue Ru stayed by my side for a year; I’ve taught her personally, so she has the insight.

All I can speculate is that Xu Guang’s cultivation of the Wuxiang Tribulation Mind Technique has reached an immensely terrifying level, which Yue Ru didn’t expect and mistook for an illusion technique.

This Xu Guang is indeed extraordinary; within a year of joining the academy, he’s cultivated this technique to such a degree, truly living up to the status of a saint."

As he spoke, Old Ji slightly shook his head, with a look of emotion.

"Having such battle power as a Third Grade is truly terrifying, but this person is also somewhat cunning. I reckon he has long had the foundation to break through to the Second Grade and is suppressing his power for this examination."

"Hahaha, weren’t you also like this back then? But I remember you suppressed your power for two years, and in the end, didn’t even make it to the top hundred, right?"

Someone next to him teased.

Among the people present, more than a third had spent their youth in the Northern Imperial Academy, but either didn’t pass the Upper Academy examination or had already arranged family duties for various reasons, ultimately not cultivating in the Upper Five Academies.

Looking back, these people occasionally wondered, if they had gone to the Upper Five Academies back then, what would their lives be like now?

...

Xu Guang finished the battle. According to the regulations, each battle is given a duration of two hours, the quicker it ends, the longer you can rest.
