Sliso stared at the scattered mess of the arena with a cruel look in his eyes.

Ezra Zephyr, you probably did not expect me to be even more ruthless than you, right? Sliso had not left himself any way to continue to fight after his bombardment. If Ezra Zephyr did not fall, there was no way Sliso was going to counter attack.

A mountain breeze blew past, blowing away the dust in the air.

The view gradually became clearer, revealing a scattered mess.

Every gaze was immediately cast over before their pupils abruptly shrank.

In the messy arena, the prince was still standing in the same spot, black lightning spiritual energy rising from his body, producing the sound of a terrifying rumble.

He stood inside his black lightning, his calm expression akin to a rippleless well. Countless cries of surprise echoed throughout the cliffs.

Ezra Zephyr was completely unscathed after taking Sliso's mad bombardment! A disciple mumbled in shock, "He blocked all of Sliso's attacks with his spiritual energy."

"To think that his spiritual energy has reached such a level!"

They clearly understood that to have withstood all of the attacks with just spiritual energy, Ezra's spiritual energy must have already far surpassed the quality of the 6th level.

While countless gasps of surprise rang out, Sliso's expression changed drastically, because the spiritual energy undulations from Ezra's body made him feel a terrifying sensation of danger.

A dangerous sensation he would only feel in the face of an expert who had stepped into the sixth layer.

"His spiritual energy is already not inferior to the peak level!" Sliso's scalp immediately turned numb at this thought. Ezra's martial prowess was at the 6th level of Core Formation, but why was his spiritual energy at this level?

While Sliso was still in the midst of processing his fear, the prince raised his head, his indifferent eyes locking onto Sliso.

Sliso felt as if his scalp had exploded as he rapidly retreated.

~BOOOM~

However, Ezra's figure instantly etherealized as it swept forth like smoke, appearing directly in front of Sliso as if teleporting.

"I admit…" Sliso's pupils shrank as he hurriedly tried to admit defeat. He knew that he no longer had any chance of victory because Ezra Zephyr had already exceeded his wildest imagination.

~BHAM~

However, Ezra's deadly fist was quicker, a punch landing on Sliso's chest. Spiritual energy exploded, disintegrating cloth as his figure was sent flying with a miserable shriek. In the end, Sliso crashed into a cliff wall, the sight of his entire body embedded in the rock extremely pitiful. The cliffs in the vicinity fell silent once more.

Gaze after gaze looked towards Ezra Zephyr as if they were looking at some kind of monstrosity.

They may have believed Andrew had been caught off guard in the previous bout, but this time, Sliso had been the first to strike and used all of his power. But in the end, he had been unable to even break Ezra Zephyr's defences.

This made everyone understand that the prince had not depended on luck… but truly possessed such frightening power.

There was no longer anyone in the 5th level of Core Formation who could go a single round with him.

In Elder Song's stone pavilion, Aily was in a daze. By now, no matter how much she didn't want to, she had no choice but to admit that in a short month, Ezra had grown at an alarming rate to a level that shocked everyone.

Lopap slowly said, "He easily defeated Drake Tubble, reports say that the latter couldn't do anything to him, he was at 2nd level. It's only been a month since then, but he already appears to be nearly invincible under the 6th level…"

He glanced at Ezra and said, "Back when Sith Wiggins entered the outer mountains, it had taken him half a year to become a diamond belt disciple… as for Ezra Zephyr, he already has the qualification to take part in the diamond belt selection after a single month. This speed is truly unrivalled."

Everyone heard him, Elder Song, Denise Tubble and Ajin Pardo as well, but nobody retorted. Aily was about to raise an objection, but could only angrily stomp her feet in the end. Even she had no option but to admit that she had indeed underestimated this new disciple.

Aily glanced in Elder Li's direction as he sighed and said, "Old Lo's luck is not bad, I never imagined he would really encounter such a good sapling."

On the cliffs around the stone stage, the numerous disciples gradually returned to their senses. They were not as shocked as they had been earlier, likely because they were already a little mentally prepared for this outcome.

Although the disciples who had come here to watch Ezra be humiliated were somewhat unresigned, they understood that Ezra Zephyr's current battle accomplishments were already enough to make him famous in the sect.

~CRACK~

The teacup in Elder Song's hand was crushed by him, causing the tea to drip down. His aged face was filled with iciness.

He slowly wiped away the tea as he cast his gaze towards Kimba and indifferently said, "Kimba, you're up."

The indifferent voice was filled with rage that terrified many disciples.

Kimba took in a deep breath as he floated down onto the stage. His cold eyes stared at the prince as his finger pointed to one of the cliff walls in the vicinity.

"I've saved that spot for you." Kimba's voice echoed in the mountain, causing some of the watching disciples to swallow.

They knew that the true quarter match was finally beginning.

Ezra Zephyr and Kimba stood facing each other on the stage, their gazes cold like the edge of a blade as a heart palpitating chill seemed to flow between them.

On the cliffs around them, numerous eyes were tightly glued to the two combatants.

The quarter match today had been a series of unexpected twists and turns. Everyone had originally believed Elder Lo's side would be massacred by Elder Song's faction in this battle, making them lose all face. However, no one had expected the participant, whom almost all of them thought arrogant, to show his terrifying powers at the moment, basically returning an eye for an eye as he easily killed two of his opponents.

In the end, Elder Song's side was left with a single combatant.

"Ezra Zephyr is truly not simple at all. If he really ends up killing Kimba today, there will no longer be anyone in the outer mountains who can challenge him, only rankers will be his opponents."

"Easily defeating two 5th level at the 6th level was easy but killing them with one hit was difficult. His foundations are unimaginable."

"But Kimba is not going to be an easy opponent either. He's extremely strong and is a genuine 6th-level. Such strength is already able to match up to many of the ordinary diamond belt disciples. Ezra Zephyr may have won over Andrew and Sliso, but he will certainly not have an easy time against Kimba."

"No, I believe he will kill Kimba, I saw how he defeated Drake Tubble despite being 2 levels lower."

"That was Drake, he is Kimba."

"Heh, looks like a battle of titans is unavoidable. The trip here has not been a waste after all."

Whispers spread amongst the numerous watching disciples. The two individuals in the arena were powerhouses of their faction, each incomparably ferocious. About these two equally powerful participants, every disciple had a different opinion about who was stronger. Everything would only be known after they fought.

On the cliffs, around their respective stone pavilions, Elder Lo's many disciples anxiously watched.

Elder Li's disciples had been quite relaxed sometime earlier, clearly under the impression that the quarter match was completely in their control. However, such thoughts had already been wiped clean from their minds by Ezra Zephyr.

Even though Kimba's supporters were still confident in Kimba, they did not dare to thoughtlessly jeer any more, such as to avoid the scenario where the unexpected happened and they ended up shaming themselves instead.

Elder Song's expression was extremely dark and stormy. His plan of completely beating down Elder Lo's side had completely fallen through.

Behind him, Denise's expression fluctuated indeterminately. As she gazed at the ugly expression on Elder Song's face, she could only say, "No need to worry uncle, he can't possibly be senior brother Kimba's match."

Elder Song didn't react to her words. The only thing they could do now was hope that Wei Youxuan taught that arrogant fool a good lesson."

***

On the stone stage, an expressionless Kimba looked at the prince and said in a nonchalant voice, "I originally thought you were only here to make up the numbers. I never imagined that you would turn out to be the strongest amongst them."

"But you should have spent enough time basking in the limelight already, right?"

The moment the final word was said, Kimba's eyes abruptly turned serious.

Powerful spiritual energy exploded from his body, sending out wave after wave of pressure as cracks grew from the stone floor under his feet.

The expressions of the watching disciples changed slightly, evidently feeling his suffocating spiritual energy pressure. "Peak of 6th level!"

Spiritual energy hissed around Kimba's body, his oppressive presence alone enough to put a tremendous amount of mental pressure on many 5th-level disciples.

Ezra's eyes narrowed slightly when he felt the spiritual energy pressure. "Oh, he is quite good. He deserves the hype. As expected of the Elder Song's strongest gold belt disciple."

Ezra's gaze lowered slightly as the black lightning started to flicker violently. The bolts of pure powerful black lightning thundered out, filling his entire body.
