"Itâs over?"
"No way... Did he take him out in one move again?"
"The second contestant from Star River University, Wang Xuan, was instantly defeated by Jiang Ye??"
"Damn it!!" After a brief silence, over a hundred thousand spectators erupted in a thunderous uproar.
Stunning!
Absolutely stunning.
This battle showcased the terrifying strength of Jiang Ye.
Against the second contestant from Star River University, second only to Li Qi, Jiang Ye only used one move!
An instant defeat!
...
"Whatâs going on?"
"I... was taken out in an instant?" Below the stage, Wang Xuan was also bewildered.
He hadnât even had the chance to make a move before Jiang Ye instantly defeated him!
"Was that just now an Ultimate Technique?"
"Impossible." Wang Xuanâs heart was in disbelief: "The match just started, how could he possibly execute an Ultimate Technique so quickly?"
Ultimate Techniques need time to build up.
They require intense combat to continually build momentum until the Essence, Qi, and Spirit all peak, allowing the Ultimate Technique to be unleashed naturally.
But Jiang Ye? Starting off with his strongest move?
Whoâs ever played like this?
...
The audience gasped continuously.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the teachers were all solemn.
"A complete Fourth Ultimate Technique!"
"Jiang Ye managed to unleash a Fourth Ultimate Technique within seconds of taking the stage?"
"This indicates that his control over Star Energy is extraordinarily impressive."
"A peerless genius." Teachers from various schools were all taken aback.
Indeed, Ultimate Techniques require time to build up.
But thatâs the case for ordinary people.
Certain geniuses can unleash the strongest Ultimate Technique in an incredibly short time.
Such people often have absolute control over Star Energy, either due to their Cultivation Technique or their innate Talent.
In reality, itâs often the latter.
Because even with a Celestial Tier Upper Cultivation Technique, itâs hard to execute such a terrifying Ultimate Technique in such a short period.
Even a First-level Civilizationâs heritage might not achieve this.
So the teachers speculated that it was due to Jiang Yeâs Talent.
"Who is stronger, Jiang Ye or Li Qi?"
"Thatâs really hard to say now."
"Li Qi hasnât even used his Innate Ability yet, and Iâve heard his ability is quite terrifying, coming from an extraordinary noble family."
"This yearâs Genius Cup champion will be decided between them." The teachers discussed.
On the other side.
Elder Bai squinted his eyes.
Compared to Jiang Ye unleashing an Ultimate Technique, he was more curious about why this kid could cultivate a complete Fourth Ultimate Technique so quickly?
"The Fourth Move of the Great Sun Spear Technique is a massive bottleneck."
"Even I was stuck for over half a year back then." Elder Bai thought to himself: "This kid hadnât learned even the Third Form half a year ago, right?"
"So quickly? And he already comprehended a complete Fourth Ultimate Technique?"
The fast cultivation speed can still be explained.
But to overcome such a huge bottleneck so swiftly, thatâs rather illogical.
"Maybe this is what it means to be a genius." Elder Bai mused internally.
...
On the stage.
Jiang Ye stood with his spear, frowning slightly.
Wang Xuan had been so confident before the battle began, Jiang Ye thought he might have a satisfying fight this time.
But the result...
Utter disappointment!
"Could it be that Iâve really become this strong?" Jiang Ye shook his head, his figure flickered as he returned to the waiting area.
He had already advanced to the semifinals, only three more matches to go.
...
The competition continued.
In the second match, Yun QingâEr faced Zhou Jin.
Yun QingâEr won.
In the third match, Lin Qingxue faced Zhu Bufan.
Lin Qingxue won.
In the fourth match, Li Qi faced Xu WanâEr.
Li Qi won.
Thus, the semifinals were decided!
Li Qi, Lin Qingxue, Yun QingâEr, Jiang Ye.
"Finally, the semifinals are about to begin."
"The championship battle isnât far away now."
"Jiang Ye! Penglaiâs strongest! Take the championship!"
"Lin Qingxue, my wife." The enthusiasm of over a hundred thousand spectators grew even more fervent.
Semifinals!
About to commence.
...
"The first semifinal match, Yun QingâEr versus Jiang Ye."
As Chu Jingyeâs voice fell.
Two figures appeared on the stage.
"Yun QingâEr." Jiang Ye looked at the delicate girl opposite him.
For Yun QingâEr to advance to the semifinals, it already demonstrated that her strength was quite extraordinary.
Jiang Ye had watched her battles.
She could unleash over a thousand hammer strikes in a second, extremely fierce.
However.
Compared to Jiang Ye, her strength still fell short, and this showdown had almost no suspense.
"Jiang Ye." Yun QingâEr said timidly, "Letâs start."
Jiang Yeâs expression shifted.
Was she planning to do the same as in the Newborn Tournament?
"No need to intentionally lose to me," Jiang Ye said earnestly, "I want to have a proper match with you."
"Ah." Yun QingâEr looked up, surprised, and glanced at him.
After a moment.
She nodded, "Okay."
[Match begins]
As soon as the subtitle dropped, Yun QingâEr immediately moved, transforming into a Shadow.
"Boom!"
Boom, boom, boom!
She indeed followed Jiang Yeâs suggestion, not holding back, unleashing the fiercest onslaught from the start.
The dense hammer shadows, accompanied by scorching hammer winds, engulfed Jiang Ye.
"Quite oppressive." Jiang Yeâs gaze sharpened.
Yun QingâEr was indeed very strong.
Under such an outburst, even an average powerhouse at the late Second Break stage might be crushed instantly.
"Clang!"
Jiang Ye gripped his long spear tightly and fearlessly charged forward to meet her.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The two clashed intensely; Yun QingâErâs Hammer Technique was meticulous, extremely refined, and even Jiang Ye found few openings.
Luckily.
Jiang Yeâs Star Energy power and Star Energy explosion were far superior to Yun QingâErâs.
Although Yun QingâEr used the Hammer Technique, known for its strong power, every hammerâs might was still less than Jiang Yeâs spear.
After numerous collisions, Yun QingâEr gradually fell into a disadvantage.
