Chapter 2115 - 2116: Spectating the Battle! Second Update
As more and more martial artists arrived, the duel between Ye Qiu and Fentian still showed no sign of ending.
Their attacks had changed; not every strike was incomparably powerful as before.
On the contrary, their duel seemed devoid of energy, like two ordinary people fighting, exchanging blows continuously, punch for kick, without pause.
This kind of exchange, however, made some people look serious, while others completely puzzled.
"Why have things changed? When I first arrived, they were fighting intensely. Are they exhausted now, reluctant to use their power?" someone questioned, confused.
"Yes, I don’t understand either. It feels like their duel doesn’t match that of Supreme Saints. Even our attacks as ordinary Saints seem stronger."
More and more people expressed their confusion, as if the duel was becoming weaker.
Amidst the discussions, someone spoke up, with quite an attitude: "It’s normal for you not to understand a Supreme Saint-level duel; it just means you’re too weak!"
"My goodness, who are you to call us weak!"
"Yeah, you can’t talk like that! Are you looking for a fight?"
Some people were indignant upon hearing this, but once they saw who was speaking, they immediately quieted down.
"Lieyan Holy Son!"
The person speaking was naturally Lieyan Holy Son. While not a first-tier martial artist, he ranked among the top in the second tier; none of those who were displeased earlier could match him.
"Oh, it’s you, Holy Son. I respect that!" someone said with a grin, quickly apologizing.
Others didn’t express themselves but neither dared to speak further, remaining silent.
Lieyan Holy Son stood there, accompanied by his team members. The entire Fire God Squad was present, further highlighting Lieyan Holy Son’s remarkable presence. The team members were also quite remarkable.
Then, someone asked, "Lieyan Holy Son, can you understand this duel? Could you explain it to us?"
Lieyan Holy Son chuckled: "I can explain, but I’m not the strongest here. Let someone with higher strength explain it."
Lieyan Holy Son passed the responsibility to someone else.
The crowd looked around for the strongest, and at that moment, several new figures arrived.
"The Carefree Holy Son!"
"Hongyuan Holy Son!"
It’s true these two were slightly stronger than Lieyan Holy Son, but the three were roughly on par.
Until another figure appeared, changing the expressions of those present.
"The Wanderer!"
Swish!
"Luo Ren!"
"Good heavens, even Qing Lin has arrived!"
With several young Supreme Saints suddenly appearing, all eyes turned to them. These young kings surely understood the battlefield.
Someone, gathering courage, went to ask Luo Ren, who stood alone, for an explanation. It was known that among all first-tier martial artists, Luo Ren was the most approachable.
Luo Ren didn’t put on airs and agreed to explain to those around who were confused.
"You’re confused because the duel seems to lack power, right?" Luo Ren began, pinpointing the root of everyone’s confusion.
Many nodded, recognizing that only a true expert could immediately address their misunderstanding.
"May I ask, why is it this way? Isn’t the stronger the martial prowess, the more terrifying the attacks? But why..." someone questioned, puzzled.
Luo Ren smiled and said, "Indeed, the higher the martial artist’s realm, the scarier the power each strike contains, imbued with immense energy."
"However, it’s simply one form of showcasing martial prowess. If a martial artist reaches an exceptional level, they can discard flashy power and complex moves. The simpler, the more terrifying."
With Luo Ren’s explanation, people felt even more bewildered. How could the absence of power be an alternative form of strength? They, as Martial Artists in the Gui Xu realm, could achieve that too.
Luo Ren shook his head: "The Dao is simple, martial arts are simple. Their duel’s terror has moved beyond the surface; all power is contained. Yet, this form of duel is scarier and more dangerous; one wrong move could lead to death."
Upon hearing this, some martial artists understood, while others remained bewildered. Luo Ren said no more. Certain insights come naturally once your realm reaches that level; if you haven’t reached it, you won’t understand, no matter what.
To put it simply, understanding this depends on one’s talent.
Those whose abilities were weaker now quietly watched the duel in front of them. Even if they couldn’t understand, they refrained from commenting further, knowing Luo Ren had explained it and realizing their inability to grasp it.
Actually, figures like the Wanderer and Qing Lin, who were at Supreme Saint level, could easily comprehend it. At the moment, they, too, focused on the battlefield.
One of those exchanging blows was Fentian, which surprised them, for in the military merit points leaderboard, Fentian ranked fourth—his strength was formidable.
But of course, Ye Qiu dueling against Fentian was even more astounding; more people examined Ye Qiu.
Because Ye Qiu was relatively unknown to many, even those seeing him for the first time.
"Able to fight Fentian for so long, Ye Fentian is truly strong!"
People had already figured out Ye Qiu and Fentian’s identities, after all, with their pace, their appearances could now be clearly seen.
"It’s just unknown why they’re fighting. Is it a martial exchange?"
"That’s unknown; nonetheless, this duel is rare. To us ordinary Saints, it’s a treasure, perhaps offering insights."
Gradually, Luo Ren, the Wanderer, Qing Lin, and others’ expressions turned stern, as the rhythm of Ye Qiu and Fentian’s duel changed again.
Slow!
The duel slowed considerably.
This type of duel is known only to those within the same realm or directly involved, understanding how perilous it truly is.
Seemingly tranquil, without an ounce of energy on display, yet this duel scene caught the eyes of young kings, tightening their spirits.
For the duel between the two was exceedingly dangerous.
In the void, Pu Zhen and Canaan stood together, overlooking those below, though their eyes mainly focused on Ye Qiu and Fentian.
"These two youngsters aim to return to simplicity within martial arts, risking life and death with fist and foot alone, utterly wild," Canaan commented.
Perhaps to the broader public, Ye Qiu and Fentian’s duel was perplexing or hazardous, but in the eyes of Pu Zhen and Canaan, two order maintainers, these methods were too immature. Their insights were greater, but they had to admit, reaching such a level at such a young age wasn’t easy.
"Old fellow, who do you think can win?" Canaan asked Pu Zhen, knowing Pu Zhen had previously highly regarded Ye Qiu.
