Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1195 - 1193: Rushing Up Just Like That

Seeing Kong Yusheng and Kong Xin returning, Kong Lifeng’s face sunk like a thousand-year-old glacial ice. Standing to the side, he did not say a word, pondering over one thing. He had not understood the strength of these children yesterday, but today he has already deduced an approximate idea. Although the children of the Xia Family are all in the latter stages of the Mortal Realm, they absolutely possess the capability to compete with experts in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. No wonder Xia Yuntian allowed these children to participate in the youth competition; so this was the reason.

Immediately afterward, another question came to his mind. He was extremely curious about how these children had become so formidable. It was truly inconceivable. Based on previous intelligence, Xia Lalan of the Xia Family’s youth group was nothing outstanding, and the children of the Xia Family’s youth group were not this formidable. Everything changed after Lin Feng arrived. It was really too strange; Lin Feng, a Mortal from the Secular World, how did he train these children? In such a short period of time, he trained these children to such a monstrous level; this was too defying of the natural order!

He now had an even more unsettling feeling. If the other children of the Xia Family were as difficult to deal with as Xia Hongde, then the situation in the youth competition this time would not be good...

What Kong Lifeng didn’t know was that there were many others here with the same thoughts. Now, almost everyone had turned their eyes towards the Xia Family. They were all shocked by Xia Hongde— a child over ten years old who had injured the leading youth of the Kong Family. It was really too inconceivable; they simply could not understand how the Xia Family trained such monstrous children. Likewise, they were even more worried that if the other children of the Xia Family were also this fierce, the youth competition this time might be entirely dominated by the Xia Family!

Thinking of this, Gu Nantian’s complexion turned very grave. He immediately gathered the Elders to discuss countermeasures. On the other side, Song Wuya also felt out of his depth and went to consult the Old Ancestor on what to do next. The children of the Xia Family were truly terrifying. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could not imagine that all of this was real...

As time continued, the competition on the platform did not stop. The matches in several Martial Arts Grounds were tensely underway. In the blink of an eye, a few more rounds passed. During these rounds, the children of the Xia Family thoroughly erupted. Kong Yusheng, already seriously injured, was fiercely attacked by the other children of the Xia Family as soon as he stepped onto the stage. He did not last long before being blasted off the Martial Arts Ground, losing the chance to compete.

If the youth competition yesterday was not fought with their full strength, then today’s matches had truly brought out their real abilities. Added to their rich combat experience, they caught their opponents off guard!

These few rounds of matches left other Prominent Families agape with amazement. No one had thought that the Xia Family’s children truly possessed such strength, nor did they expect the Xia Family’s children to have such surging fighting spirit to the extreme. Until the last moment, no one could guess the outcome. Even if their opponents lost, they would be severely injured, leaving them little chance to participate in later competitions, let alone win.

For a moment, the children gave them an illusion that they were no longer children, but a pack of wolves, for besides wolves, no one else could be so ferocious towards their enemy, and even more relentless towards themselves. As long as they could stand up, as long as they could attack, the battle would not stop.

Any match involving the children of the Xia Family was spectacular, with each child fighting fiercely and the situation extremely brutal. It’s important to know that these children were merely at the latter stages of the Mortal Realm, and many of their young opponents were at the early stages of the Transcendent Realm. Even with a one-realm difference, the children often claimed victories in later matches. This situation, if not witnessed with their own eyes, could not have been imagined by anyone— that mere eleven or twelve-year-old children could have such terrifying strength. It truly shocked everyone!

Looking at the matches of the Xia Family’s children on the platform, people from various Prominent Families were filled with emotion. No one expected the Xia Family to have trained the youth group to this point. Yesterday’s defeat was indeed well-deserved, and what they feared even more was the outcome of today’s youth competition, seriously worrying that yesterday’s scene might be repeated!

This time, aside from the Xia Family, the other major Prominent Families were truly panicked. The thought that these children could also defeat the youth groups frightened them; their faces would have no place to hide. With this in mind, each Prominent Family had already begun to think of solutions. They did not want to witness such an event unfold...

In the blink of an eye, the youth competition had passed the halfway mark and welcomed the most eye-catching match of the entire competition— Xia Jianping of the Xia Family versus Gu Fan of the Gu Family. One was the representative figure of the Xia Family’s youth group, and the other was the first prodigy of the Gu Family’s youth group, who was also the number one young person in the Hidden World. This match could be called the pinnacle showdown!

At this moment, the entire audience focused their attention on the Martial Arts Platform. They all wanted to witness what the result of this match would be.

Dressed in a long blue robe, with a height matching that of an adult, and a handsome yet somewhat youthful face, Gu Fan looked at Xia Jianping before him, with an indescribable expression in his eyes, and said, "You are not my opponent. I hope you can forfeit the match voluntarily."

He had already watched Xia Jianping’s matches; although Xia Jianping quickly defeated his opponents, he had already measured Xia Jianping’s strength — Half-Step Transcendent Realm. With such strength, Xia Jianping going all out would not be his match. He hoped to persuade Xia Jianping to give up because he didn’t want to fight a match against Xia Jianping that he knew he would win but still had to fight.

"There’s no need for such words; you’ve seen how my companions fight. I can tell you clearly that I’m even more ruthless than they are. I will not let go until my purpose is achieved."

Hearing Gu Fan’s words, Xia Jianping replied seriously. He had also paid attention to Gu Fan’s previous fights, where his opponents voluntarily conceded. This was the only exception in the youth group’s matches. The fact that Gu Fan could make others forfeit demonstrated that his strength far exceeded the rest, but he had no habit of conceding. Facing such a powerful enemy made his desire to fight even stronger, considering it an excellent opportunity to improve his own strength. He would not give up.

Gu Fan shook his head upon hearing Xia Jianping’s response; he had already anticipated such an answer. If that was the case, then let the battle begin! With that thought, he coldly spoke to Xia Jianping, "If you insist on fighting, then let’s fight!"

After he finished speaking, an incredibly powerful aura suddenly erupted from where Gu Fan stood. In an instant, a hurricane formed around him, becoming faster and more terrifying as it expanded, eventually reaching a two-hundred-meter radius before halting.

Amidst the hurricane, Gu Fan’s clothes fluttered wildly, and his hair flew about as if caught in a raging wind. Without making a single move, Gu Fan had already fully exposed his true strength to Xia Jianping – the pinnacle of the Middle Stage of Transcendent Realm, on the verge of stepping into the Later Stage. Such an age, having such cultivation – he could surely look down upon the entire Hidden World!

Seeing the strength that burst forth from Gu Fan, the crowd outside the arena was filled with marvel. They all knew Gu Fan’s strength was quite possibly the strongest amongst the Hidden World’s younger generation, but none of them expected it to be this formidable. They thought to themselves that Gu Fan was simply monstrous, having already touched the threshold of the Later Stage of the Transcendent Realm at such a young age. Such a talent was truly heaven-defying; how could the other Prominent Families not have a prodigy like him?

Confronted with an opponent who was a mere half-step away from the Later Stage of Transcendent Realm, Xia Jianping’s face also became grave in this moment. If his opponent were merely an ordinary Middle Stage Transcendent Realm Expert, he might have had means to cope, but up against someone like Gu Fan, he had already lost all advantages. To defeat Gu Fan, he would have to fight desperately, and even then it might not be enough to win!

Upon realizing this, Xia Jianping felt tense for the first time, but this feeling quickly subsided, replaced instead by excitement in his eyes. Knowing full well the danger, he still chose to face it head-on. Now that he was already on the platform, even if he were to be defeated, he wouldn’t make it easy for Gu Fan. That way, other children of the Xia Family could take Gu Fan down.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Jianping also activated his spell. A faint breeze blew around him, spreading for dozens of meters before stopping, revealing his true strength to everyone present – Half-Step Transcendent Realm!

Although such an achievement was already something to be proud of, it paled in comparison to Gu Fan. The gap was so immense that Xia Jianping knew full well it couldn’t be bridged, yet he didn’t hesitate and suddenly burst forth with unprecedented speed towards Gu Fan.

In an instant, Xia Jianping’s speed soared to its limit, his figure vanishing into thin air, leaving only a series of afterimages behind. His speed was so astonishing that even ordinary Transcendent Realm Experts would be far behind.

He’s charging in just like that?

Seeing Xia Jianping taking the initiative, a smile formed at the corner of Gu Fan’s mouth. At his level, things were no longer as simple as mere speed. Since that was the case, he would let Xia Jianping understand what true strength was.

With that thought, he moved with his intention, his figure flickered as he too charged towards Xia Jianping. As they were about to engage closely, Gu Fan suddenly threw a punch. The fist shone with a faint white light, and his entire arm turned a pale white. Accompanied by a roar akin to that of a Shocking Dragon, it nearly transformed into a bolt of white light as it struck towards Xia Jianping!

It’s no exaggeration to say that the power of this punch was unimaginable. If it hit, it would likely flatten a small hill, indicating the terrifying extent of its force.

At that moment, those following the battle began to worry for Xia Jianping. The disparity between them was simply too great; the situation was highly unfavorable for Xia Jianping. They even doubted whether he could withstand Gu Fan’s punch.

Seeing his opponent strike, Xia Jianping displayed no hint of panic. Having fought against Demon Beasts from the Transcendent Realm more than once, he was well accustomed to this kind of attack. The instant Gu Fan made his move, Xia Jianping already judged what his next steps should be.

He moved swiftly, miraculously dodging Gu Fan’s punch, then instantly reappeared on Gu Fan’s right side. At that point, Gu Fan’s punch was too far along, unable to be retracted in time. With no other choice under the circumstances, Gu Fan opted to evade, forcibly canceling his previous attack. With a light flicker, he broke free from Xia Jianping’s attack range.

However, what Gu Fan didn’t expect was that just as he was about to strike at Xia Jianping again, something unexpected happened!
