Chapter 319: Chapter 172: Tier Six Combat Power—Is This All Noble Family Pride Amounts To?

These beams of light converged towards the Flame Demon like threads.

The Flame Demon seemed like a massive black hole.

Continuously absorbing these beams of light.

Its body began to swell dramatically, its size becoming even more gigantic, the flames on its body transforming from red to a scorching lava color.

As the light continued to be infused, the form of the Flame Demon began to change.

Its body gradually grew sturdier, its muscle lines undulating like mountain ranges.

The originally flaming horns became thicker and twisted, resembling giant burning stone pillars.

At the Flame Demon’s feet, cracks began to appear on the ground, and scalding lava surged from the fissures, flowing around the Flame Demon.

Finally, a Molten Giant tens of meters tall appeared before the eyes of everyone.

It emanated a destructive aura all over, with each breath causing the surrounding air to become distorted and scorching.

The aura it released stunned everyone above Tier Seven on the platform.

"Tier Six combat power?"

Xuu Zixu’s voice was filled with surprise; this unmistakable Second Transformation aura, just emerged so vividly?

"How... how is this possible?"

The audience was stunned, initially thinking that Su Muyu was about to lose, unexpectedly she had such a trump card.

The Molten Giant roared thunderously upon its appearance.

Its gigantic palm swung fiercely, transforming countless Fires of Evil Power into an immense palm.

The Tier Six pressure erupted instantly, the fiery giant palm dispersed the silver column of light with boundless force.

And yet the giant palm hardly diminished in strength.

Descending like Mount Tai, suppressing the Flowing Silver Guard.

’Boom boom boom——!’

The Flowing Silver Guard crumbled like fragile paper under this force, instantly scattered.

The Flowing Silver Guard immediately disintegrated into silvery streams of light, spraying in all directions, unable to withstand even a moment.

Ni Yi’s face froze as he witnessed the Flowing Silver Guard’s collapse.

"Tier Six combat power, how is that possible!!"

His Flowing Silver Guard could withstand a blow from Tier Five Professionals, which was the strength of this Profession.

The existence of the Flowing Silver Guard compensated for the Warlock’s own weak defense.

Yet the Flowing Silver Guard was casually crushed by the Molten Giant.

If the Molten Giant could smash it with one slap, it possessed only Tier Six combat power.

Su Muyu glanced at Ni Yi and said coolly, "From the beginning, all your skills have been under my control."

After speaking, she commanded the Molten Giant to walk towards Ni Yi. With every step the Molten Giant took, the ground trembled.

Its enormous silhouette overshadowed Ni Yi, making Ni Yi feel deep powerlessness.

How could he fight Tier Six!

Both these spouses are monsters, who truly is from the aristocratic families.

Though Ni Yi hadn’t conceded, the outcome was clear.

However, even Shen Fei was somewhat stunned by Su Muyu’s skill intensity.

After all, it’s not everyone who can leap over one tier, even two tiers in combat power, reaching the stage of Second Transformation.

"Seems like I won this bet, Dragon Emperor."

Shen Fei turned his head towards Xuu Zixu, Xuu Zixu sighed inwardly, one could say Ni Yi did very well.

Unfortunately, he still encountered Su Muyu, an equally terrifying existence, even more dreadful pride of aristocratic families.

That Flowing Silver Guard, even among the noble pride of Heavenly Pride Club, couldn’t harm Ni Yi under their guard.

Who would think Su Muyu could align skills to achieve Second Transformation strength?

"A bet’s a bet."

Xuu Zixu leaned against the armrest, smiling.

A piece of Tier Eight Legend, though somewhat painful, was not enough to lose composure.

It’s just that Su Muyu’s actual strength far exceeded his imagination.

Even if it’s because of Shen Fei.

It demonstrated the pride of Imperial University wasn’t weaker than the pride of Heavenly Pride Club.

If the word gets out, recruiting elite prides early will be even harder for Heavenly Pride Club.

Given Imperial University was no weaker than Heavenly Pride Club.

Why not choose Imperial University, with fewer family constraints and more equitable competition?

Facing Tier Six combat power, Ni Yi could only admit defeat; when he conceded, a cheer erupted from the audience seat.

"Is this the pride of aristocratic family? Seems not so impressive, huh."

"Certainly, Su Muyu looks stronger."

"You’re not wrong, indeed Su Muyu is stronger; it’s already leaked that Su Muyu is now Level 45."

"Huh? Level 45, most graduates don’t reach Level 45."

"So you understand how strong Su Muyu is."

...

Although Su Muyu is strong, everyone still cheered because even though it’s the Su Family, but compared to those so-called millennial aristocratic families.

Everyone disliked these millennial aristocratic families more, not to mention recently the pride of aristocratic families behind Heavenly Pride Club launched many public opinion offensives during the encirclement in Shencheng City.

Shen Fei’s current prestige is so high, their aversion towards Heavenly Pride Club is equally strong.

"Aristocratic family pride seems unimpressive, what are you proud of?"

"If my husband was born into your background, you wouldn’t even qualify to meet him..."

Su Muyu spoke coolly, Heavenly Pride Club opposed Shen Fei, only temporarily not tearing the mask of civility.

But given the opportunity, suppression would definitely occur.

Su Muyu wouldn’t hesitate in words to attack its reputation.

Ni Yi’s face turned red; before arriving, they did think only Shen Fei was untouchable.

The rest would be easy pickings.

Previously, there had been exchanges, just not during the freshman competition, mostly Heavenly Pride Club privately making visits.

After all, back then, Zhenyuan was still present, though Heavenly Pride Club and Breaking Abyss Army competed for discourse power.

But not to this extent now.

This year, too many changes occurred, and Shen Fei acted ruthlessly, entirely rooting out Heavenly Pride Club’s influence in Imperial University.

Plus, Shen Fei’s prestige grew too fast.

Heavenly Pride Club planned to suppress Shen Fei through various sides; unable to directly target Shen Fei, they aimed at surrounding influences.

Imperial University became a choice.

Hence the plan to visit during Imperial University’s freshman competition, thinking apart from Shen Fei.

There’s also Su Muyu, this anomaly.

Ni Yi couldn’t refute, among the professionals, being weak is the original sin.

He could only step down in silence, while Ling Xiao and the others fell silent as well. Ni Yi was considered the strongest among them.

But Su Muyu’s Tier Two combat power, if they don’t use their trump cards, it’s almost impossible for them to contend with him.

Yet since it’s called a trump card, either it’s something not to be shown to others, or once used, it must decide the victory.

But after using it, the trump card loses its effect.

"Next match."

Shen Fei said indifferently.

Xuu Zixu spoke up, "Dugu Ying, you’re up."

"Alright!"

One of the women nodded; Dugu Ying, her face as beautiful as a peach blossom, had a slender figure and no weapons on her hands or waist, making it hard to determine her profession.

Dugu Ying’s gaze swept over Xue Feng and Tang Yann; naturally, she wanted to choose someone stronger. Xue Feng was ranked third among them, and Tang Yann was fourth.

But she knows Xue Feng as a half warrior, half assassin type, with strong advancement abilities, and Tang Yann’s Painting might even summon Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast.

"Jiaang Yangzhou then."

Dugu Ying said, as she had previously observed during the freshman competition.

Jiaang Yangzhou was more of a pure warrior, which gave her profession an advantage.

"Okay."

Jiaang Yangzhou, relatively quiet and reserved, simply nodded and stepped onto the stage upon hearing Dugu Ying choose him.

Meanwhile, Dugu Ying approached from another direction, and the two faced each other.

On the high platform, Shen Fei suddenly turned to Xuu Zixu with a smile, "Dragon Emperor, want to bet on this?"

Xuu Zixu shook his head, "Forget it, a small bet is refreshing, but a big bet is damaging."

"I thought Dragon Emperor was more confident in the Heavenly Pride Club’s Heavenly Pride."

Shen Fei said with a smile, Xuu Zixu’s tone was calm, "The school is also a place to cultivate top talents, while our Heavenly Pride Club, when it comes to nurturing talents, might not necessarily surpass the school."

"I don’t even have a sure win."

"Bang!"

Jiaang Yangzhou seemed already prepared and slashed his long saber at one of the vacant spots.

Suddenly.

It didn’t feel like hitting an empty spot, but rather the sound of hitting something.

Simultaneously.

The place Jiaang Yangzhou slashed immediately revealed Dugu Ying’s figure, her surprised expression unable to react.

She even blurted out, "How did you find me!"

"Air... Your skills I really can’t detect, even a high Tier Three reconnaissance skill couldn’t break your invisibility.

But there’s a weakness, where you land, the air currents change slightly."

"And just yesterday, I learned a universal skill, Air Stream Slash, which allows me to move air flow with a swing of my saber, enabling my blade to sense small changes in air flow..."

Jiaang Yangzhou explained honestly.

"Just learned yesterday?"

Dugu Ying became more puzzled, "Then how could you possibly know your opponent would be me..."

But before she finished speaking, Jiaang Yangzhou’s saber blade slashed through fiery light, the scorching heat sweeping past.

Dugu Ying didn’t shy away at all, when suddenly.

The fiery light that slashed through Dugu Ying dissolved into starlight like a bubble.

"Between light and shadow, pierce in an instant!"

Instantly.

From under Jiaang Yangzhou’s feet, two daggers stabbed directly into his back, the daggers vibrating at high speed.

If hit, Jiaang Yangzhou would certainly lose his combat power and be forced to concede.

But in the next moment.

Jiaang Yangzhou changed his sword-wielding posture, swinging his long saber instantly around himself, blade light enveloping his body like transforming into a blade ball.

’Bang bang bang——!’

A myriad of metallic clashing sounds rang out, the daggers vibrating at high speed clashing with the blade again and again.

Using the reaction force from the clash of the two, Jiaang Yangzhou immediately distanced himself from Dugu Ying.

"Blade Ball Shield."

Jiaang Yangzhou turned around, "I know all your skills, the leader told me, I even know the openings for action.

I also know how to counteract them..."

Jiaang Yangzhou’s words rather unexpectedly spread outside, causing a stir among the spectators.

"Isn’t this just cheating? It’s hard to see who’s really stronger."

"No, it’s all relative. Don’t forget, yesterday they were on site, watching almost the entire freshman competition."

"Right. They watched the freshman competition, they can also know the skills on our student side, but if they can’t think of countermeasures, what does that say?"

"It’s not like everyone’s Shen Fei..."

"Oh oh, if they don’t have Shen Fei, why blame it on Imperial University.

They didn’t explicitly state their purpose for coming, but isn’t it known what the purpose of the exchange match is?"

"Moreover, Shen Fei also didn’t know who they would face today, the opponents were chosen on the spot, just saying the intelligence is more comprehensive."

...

The crowd was buzzing with discussions, with some feeling there was a bit of cheating involved, as they were more interested in seeing fierce battles, evenly matched fights.

But now, let’s not mention Su Muyu, who indeed seemed a bit abnormal; not everyone can achieve Tier Six combat power.

But looking at Jiaang Yangzhou and Dugu Ying, it’s clear that Dugu Ying’s every move seemed to be in Jiaang Yangzhou’s sight.

There was no so-called evenly matched condition.

Xuu Zixu furrowed his brows, "Senior, this..."

"Is the means of the noble family’s pride just this?" Shen Fei said with a cheerful grin.

Xuu Zixu was stuffed by a single sentence, honestly speaking, like Ni Yi’s earlier battle intensity, even some of the third-year and fourth-year students at Imperial University might not have been able to hold on.

But they happened to encounter Su Muyu.

Which family’s freshmen have levels more absurd than the seniors, not to mention Ni Yi.

Even at Tier Ten now, that level might not necessarily perform better than Ni Yi.

"Dragon Emperor, if the Heavenly Pride Club’s Heavenly Prides are of this level."

"Rather than using resources on untapping societal geniuses, giving it to some mediocre individuals is wasting resources."

Shen Fei’s words made Xuu Zixu’s face change slightly; Shen Fei was really straightforward in his speech.

But individual cases shouldn’t be generalized.
