Chapter 349 - 285: Dazzling Brilliance! (Double-Length)
The Divine Beast White Tiger remained unscathed in this sea of Purple Gold Fire, pursuing Song Changming.
After a minute of battle, Song Changming faced the opponent’s overwhelming pressure without reservation.
His heartbeat thundered, his blood boiled, and the Power of Three Dragons manifested.
Song Changming’s eyes flickered with the light of the Purple Gold Fire, reflecting his excited expression.
"Indeed, the Ancient Abyss Country is a place of powerful adversaries!"
If he were in Da Lai Land, he wouldn’t have found such a formidable opponent who could compel him to fully exhibit his abilities.
"What powerful strength!" Fu Yuan couldn’t help but think as he sensed the increasingly fierce and terrifying power transmitted to him.
Although he suppressed Song Changming on the surface, the strength of Song Changming nevertheless astonished him.
If not for his Innate Cultivation far exceeding Song Changming, this terrifying power would have been uncontrollable.
If they were on the same level of cultivation, he had no confidence that he could withstand even one strike from Song Changming, which was the root of his alarm!
"That kid!"
Fu Yuan listened to the sounds of wind and thunder around him, knowing it was the sound generated by Song Changming’s swift movements.
He struck down with a spear, transforming his Innate Qi Aura into the White Tiger Palm Seal, hitting the ground, directly extinguishing a large area of Purple Gold Fire surrounding him.
Song Changming revealed himself, blocked with his long sword, and retreated a few steps under the impact, glancing at his torn sleeve, his skin intact and unharmed.
With the Orange Attribute Immortal Dragon Body, having developed it over many years, it was extremely difficult for him to sustain injuries.
With a swift move, he advanced again, attacking the opponent.
He intended to see how much Innate Qi Aura the opponent could squander at this level of cultivation and whether it could effectively harm him.
On the other side, the General observed for a while, frequently nodding.
"Though his Earth Martial Vein is only initially open, merely an entry-level Innate Realm cultivation, he can still hold his ground against Fu Yuan – truly a remarkable talent!"
A nearby General, hearing his own General commend this young recruit so heavily, couldn’t help but murmur, "Fu Yuan, General hasn’t gone all out..."
"Fu Yuan possesses Four Earth Martial Veins; if he truly exerted himself, even this site’s Protective Array wouldn’t withstand it. Do you need to mention this?" The General glanced faintly at the Deputy General.
The Deputy General immediately fell silent, lowering his eyelids to conceal the slight resentment in his eyes.
"Apart from the not-so-high Innate Cultivation, the Martial Techniques he commands are not of high rank. Some Martial Arts moves show he likely comes from a modest background. Achieving such Martial Arts Mastery today hasn’t been easy."
The General nodded, aware that he was finding fault with exceptional achievements.
He clearly understood that Song Changming’s greatest strength was his formidable physique, comparable to that of the Demon Race. It was this which allowed him to rival top Generals under his command, such as Fu Yuan.
Seeing the battle growing more intense, with potential to breach the Protective Array, the General immediately gestured to halt.
"Enough, have them stop. Bring this person over."
Yet at this moment, Song Changming in the field exploded with the full Power of Three Dragons, accelerating dramatically, and once again approached Fu Yuan with a potent slash. The Sword Might surpassed previous levels significantly.
Fu Yuan’s expression turned stern, and he thrust out his spear, with a roar like a tiger shaking the heavens and the earth. Not even the Protective Array could block it!
Boom!
The extraordinarily fierce collision ignited the energy completely, filling the entire interior of the Protective Array.
The Protective Array buzzed noisily, and the inscriptions on the ground flickered as if they were about to collapse.
"Retreat fast!" Several Generals, witnessing the situation, changed expressions drastically and shouted outright.
In the next moment, under this severe impact, the Protective Array ultimately failed to withstand, and the Energy Barrier shattered directly!
The inscriptions on the ground dimmed entirely afterward.
The potent Innate Qi Aura and Powerful Qi, unimpeded anymore, swept through the entire military arena!
People outside watching perceived it like a storm manifesting abruptly in the city, visible even from kilometers away.
Nearby residents and passersby on the streets felt tremors as if experiencing an earthquake.
Long after, calm was restored.
In the field, Song Changming and Fu Yuan had ceased their battle, looking at the surrounding devastation, realizing they might have gone a bit too far.
Song Changming calmed down the fervor within him, not anticipating the Protective Array, which seemed intact, would fall apart just like that.
The entire military arena suffered severe damage, practically levelled.
Many onlookers and conscripts were affected by the aftermath of the clash, laying scattered.
Only several Innate Martial Artists among them could barely maintain their stance in the arena.
Nonetheless, their expressions seemed shocked too, gaining a renewed perception of Song Changming.
Thankfully, both realized something was amiss in time and stopped, otherwise many would have been severely injured or dead, leading to a tragedy.
Fu Yuan beside them had an unhappy look and thought there would be trouble.
Song Changming, a newcomer to the examination, might not know the Protective Array’s strength limit in the military arena.
But he, as the primary officer for this recruitment, was certainly aware of it.
Thus, he had to bear the main responsibility for the incurred damage and destruction.
"Fu Yuan, a fine mess you’ve made!" Xing Tiexin chastised from above.
Fu Yuan, slightly embarrassed, hurriedly bowed to admit his mistake.
"Please calm your anger, General. It’s my fault, and I’m willing to accept punishment."
"Humph!" Xing Tiexin snorted displeasedly, sweeping away the raised dust before descending.
"If not for you finding a highly useful talent today, I’d see how to deal with you!"
"You’ll be docked three months’ salary and responsible for repairing the military arena afterwards."
Fu Yuan felt a bit relieved upon hearing it, as the punishment wasn’t severe, promptly accepting the order to clean up the aftermath.
Xing Tiexin then looked at Song Changming in the field, his mood quickly turning better.
He understood clearly; this was a genuine talent!
It wasn’t every recruitment that unearthed martial arts talents of Song Changming’s caliber.
