The seemingly simple three rounds showcased the strength of Qin Empire's Envoy Group and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Chief Core Disciple, Luo Xin, leaving everyone in awe! It can be said that aside from the already departed War God Tianshuanzi and the Lion's Roar Little Guy, no one else could keep up with the fighting pace of these two.
It seemed that only a few hall-level Martial Saints could barely keep up with their rhythm!
However, even Qianjizi and others had never witnessed such a fierce confrontation! Remarkably, the Desperate Flash, used for escape, was overused twice in just three rounds! At this rate, it wouldn't take a hundred rounds; perhaps within ten rounds, both would exhaust their True Energy!
This was an utterly reckless fighting style! Yet, despite this, these brief three rounds demonstrated the terrifying power of late-stage Martial Saints to everyone present!
Compared to the ignorant crowd who only knew how to shout and cheer, Lion's Roar and Qianjizi felt much more. The coordination between Feng Ye and the Wolf Fang Beast was seamless! Although Luo Xin displayed astonishing combat power, he still found himself at a disadvantage by the end of these three rounds, having taken five strikes from his opponent. No one knew how severe his injuries were. Feng Zhengyang and others worried while also trying to find a way for their disciple to defeat Feng Ye.
Master Zhu Feng of Xuan Zhen expressed his opinion.
"Given the current situation, if Luo Xin cannot stop the combination of Feng Ye and the Wolf Fang Beast, then no matter how he fights, he will always be at a disadvantage. A martial artist cannot remain suspended in mid-air indefinitely, and the energy consumption of movement techniques is inherently greater than that of regular Martial Techniques. Therefore, as the battle progresses, it must ultimately conclude on the ground!"
"Once back on the ground, Luo Xin will face a joint attack from both the Wolf Fang Beast and Feng Ye. No matter how he tries to evade, it won't be enough! Unless—unless he can break one of them first!"
"That's easier said than done! Everyone knows that to win right now, either Feng Ye or the Wolf Fang Beast must be eliminated. But it's not that simple! That’s a Martial Saint-level Wolf Fang Beast! Do you think it's just some livestock you can slaughter whenever you want?" Feng Zhengyang said bluntly!
Zhu Feng was left speechless and couldn't find a counterargument. His face turned red from frustration as he could only sigh repeatedly!
Qianjizi watched these two bicker anxiously but felt helpless. They couldn't assist Luo Xin; after all, this was a contest representing Luo Xin's Sect against Qin Empire's Envoy Group. No matter who intervened, it would be inappropriate!
Moreover, they didn't have the qualifications to intervene! Luo Xin's strength had long surpassed all of them! If Luo Xin couldn't solve this problem himself, how could they?
In light of this, everyone turned their attention back to Puppet Master Ma Yan and Beastmaster Wang Dan. Among those present, only these two might know the weaknesses of the Wolf Fang Beast that could allow Luo Xin to directly defeat Feng Ye. However, it seemed impossible now!
Both were equally matched in skill; they could only start with the slightly weaker Wolf Fang Beast!
Faced with the expectations of the Hall Masters, Ma Yan and Wang Dan actually had no good solutions. They exchanged glances, and for the honor of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they dared to speak up: "Actually, there is a way, but it is very risky. If we are not careful, Luo Xin will face dire consequences!"
"Let's hear it! It's better than having no plan!" Feng Zhengyang exclaimed eagerly, his eyes wide with anticipation.
Ma Yan glanced at Wang Dan again, who signaled him to continue. Although Ma Yan felt a bit hesitant, he steeled himself and explained, "The Puppet Beast has almost no weaknesses; however, this lack of weaknesses is precisely its greatest flaw!"
"I mean, just tell us something we can understand! Enough with the roundabout talk; the battle will be over soon!" Feng Zhengyang snapped impatiently.
Ma Yan shot him a glare before slowly continuing, "No weaknesses mean it is quite ordinary. You can see that the Wolf Fang Beast can only serve as support; if it's alone, Luo Xin can easily handle it! The problem lies in how to deal with it while minimizing the impact from Feng Ye's attacks."
At this point, he paused and looked around. The tense atmosphere was still brewing, but fortunately, neither Feng Ye nor Luo Xin had taken further action. Perhaps the fast-paced attacks had left them somewhat overwhelmed, allowing for a brief respite.
This gave Ma Yan time to elaborate further.
"Taking down the Wolf Fang Beast is difficult for Luo Xin, who is caught in a pincer attack. However, from another perspective, as long as Luo Xin can temporarily incapacitate the Wolf Fang Beast, Feng Ye cannot possibly stop fighting to heal it, right? Therefore, we must allow Luo Xin to execute a few quick strikes to aim for breaking its legs or arms. After that, the battle will become much easier!"
"We all understand this reasoning, but the question is: will Feng Ye give Luo Xin this opportunity?" Qianjizi and others grasped Ma Yan's point but immediately raised this critical issue.
After hearing this, Ma Yan sighed deeply and said, "That's why this plan is very risky. Luo Xin must sacrifice himself a few times and actively endure Feng Ye's attacks in exchange for incapacitating the Wolf Fang Beast!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. It was indeed a very risky plan; if Feng Ye were too heavy-handed or if Luo Xin failed to manage it properly, the likely outcome would be that the Wolf Fang Beast remained intact while Luo Xin ended up severely injured!
"So you're saying we should let Luo Xin take hits? This isn't a plan at all! It's practically a death sentence!" Feng Zhengyang protested vehemently.
Ma Yan was also provoked by his words and retorted angrily, "If you think you can do better, then go ahead! All you do is criticize others here!"
"I..." Feng Zhengyang was momentarily speechless and turned away, unwilling to engage further.
Qianjizi once again tried to calm everyone down and said, "Old Madman is just like that; he gets flustered when he cares too much. I believe this plan is feasible, but Luo Xin must know how to assess the situation—understanding when to strike and when to take damage that falls within his capacity to endure!"
"Yes! That's the key issue!" everyone agreed.
At this moment, Beastmaster Wang Dan said, "Actually, no matter what we say here, we can't help Luo Xin. Although our suggestions can be conveyed to Luo Xin through Vital Energy, do you think Luo Xin wouldn't think of what we can think of? I've been watching this kid since he joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. He is obsessed with martial arts and doesn't delve into the Beastmaster Sect, puppetry, Refining Materials, etc. He only researches things that can enhance his own strength. Perhaps what we know pales in comparison to what he has cultivated over the years!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone felt it was true! This made their discussion seem meaningless! Just then, the battle in the arena took a new turn.
Luo Xin, who had been struck by five beams of light, stood on the ground with a slightly pale expression. However, there was no trace of blood at the corners of his mouth, indicating that those five strikes hadn't caused him significant harm! Despite this, he became cautious and did not recklessly attack again; instead, he carefully observed the Wolf Fang Beast that was eyeing him and Feng Ye, who seemed to have ulterior motives!
"You are really strong, stronger than I expected..." Luo Xin finally spoke after a long silence, sincerely praising his opponent!
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback and replied calmly, "Likewise, you are much tougher than I thought. I hope those last few strikes didn't cause you too much pain!"
The five powers of the Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision mixed into Heavenly Seven Fingers to create the colorful beams of light. This was Ye Feng's latest understanding of his Self-Created Combat Technique. The damage itself wasn't great, but once the colorful beams entered the opponent's body, they would obstruct their meridians!
This was also why Luo Xin took nearly half a stick of incense to gather his energy. Ye Feng didn't want to take advantage of him; in fact, he still had a more sinister move left unused: the Blood Pattern Needle! However, he never considered using such a despicable method in this kind of setting!
Since it was a friendly sparring session, there was no need for lethal techniques!
With this thought in mind, Ye Feng allowed Luo Xin to recuperate on his own. But in reality, he was also adjusting his own state! He understood how much True Energy he had consumed during that continuous series of battles!
Although his True Energy was usually abundant, he still needed to challenge Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect afterward. If he used up all his resources against Luo Xin alone, it would be unwise—not because Luo Xin wasn't worthy but because he had more important matters to attend to!
Therefore, conserving energy was best; this was Ye Feng's combat philosophy for this journey! However, Luo Xin seemed not to appreciate his consideration. Looking at him, he continued calmly, "If you had continued attacking just now, I assure you that you would have regretted it. Since you didn't attack, I think it's time to end the warm-up and get serious!"
As soon as these words were spoken, although his voice wasn't loud, some keen martial artists heard him. The Lion's Roar Little Guy laughed loudly and said, "I knew both of you were hiding your strength! Why bother? Just finish it already! What's the point of dancing around? It's more fun when fists and feet are involved! Don't let me down with my bets and expectations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone realized that the earlier display was merely warm-up! What would a real battle between two late-stage Martial Saints look like?
Even Qianjizi and others felt their faces flush upon hearing this; they seemed to have worried too much while the two hadn't even started fighting seriously yet!
It's quite embarrassing to say the least!
"I told you! Luo Xin is our star, there's no way she's that weak! Haha, just wait and see, we have a good show coming up!" Feng Zhengyang laughed heartily, taking advantage of the situation.
Zhu Feng couldn't help but sigh, "It seems we've all grown old and can't keep up with the younger generation. If it were us old bones, we wouldn't have such leisure!"
Guang Jingfu scoffed, "Come on, you haven't been serious about this at all. The talent in Mystic Array Hall has dwindled over the years; can you honestly say you're not responsible?"
"Where is this going? Why are you bringing this up now?" Zhu Feng felt a pang of guilt as he was caught off guard.
Qianjizi was rubbing his forehead desperately, increasingly confused by the situation.
Only Ma Yan and Wang Dan maintained their worried expressions; if this was just a warm-up, what kind of commotion would these two create if they actually fought?
Just thinking about it sent chills down one's spine!
The onlooking disciples, not understanding the situation, began to cheer, seemingly eager to witness an even more intense battle, even though they had no idea what that truly meant...
