High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 625: Chapter 427: Intimidating Blade Innate, Top and Bottom of the Merit Rankings!

At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Hunter Association seated at the host’s table were utterly stupefied, their minds blank, unable to process what had just happened.

Did they see it wrong?

The miserable figure that was sent flying was actually Elder Li?

The very SS-Class hunter with elder-level status in the Shenjiang City Hunter Association, possessing the martial arts prowess of a Great Grandmaster?!

Two martial artists, not yet at the Grandmaster level, could join forces to injure a dignified Great Grandmaster!

"The rule of ice and fire, these two conflicting powers of rules, actually merged in their hands... How is this possible?!"

Qing Zhi suddenly stood up, alarming the man on the sidelines watching the match.

The man wanted to open his mouth and curse a few words in anger but suddenly found it incredibly difficult to breathe. He was suffocating for several seconds at that moment, his expression changed drastically, and he swallowed his words back down.

"Just a little leakage of aura makes it impossible for me to breathe... This is absolutely a martial arts powerhouse!"

The man was horrified in his heart, for he himself was also a Fifth Level Martial Artist.

Qing Zhi didn’t pay any attention to the actions of the people beside him. The shock felt by the people present was mostly due to the injured elder, while Qing Zhi’s shock came from his strength and vision as a disciple of a Martial Saint.

Therefore, the shock from this strike to Qing Zhi would not be lower than anyone else present; in other words, only those with martial arts power at a certain level could understand the astonishing nature of this strike.

"I clearly misjudged. The qi and blood they just displayed are extremely solid, fearing that it’s not inferior to those new to the Grandmaster level."

"A strike that merges qi and blood with rules, normally prepared, could only kill a Grandmaster, and doesn’t necessarily pose a great threat to a Great Grandmaster. That person was caught off guard, after all, who would have thought that martial artists not at the Grandmaster level could jointly display such martial arts!"

"But even so, it is still quite astonishing. In the future, should these two step into the Grandmaster Realm, jointly, an ordinary Great Grandmaster would also meet their end at their hands..."

Stepping into the Grandmaster, one carries a title and has few opponents!

Thinking of this, Qing Zhi’s eyes shone brightly as he scanned back and forth over the two, suddenly giving birth to a thought.

"Finding these two such promising talents, today’s trip was not in vain."

As the rolling white smoke on the field dissipated, a huge crater, like a meteorite pit, suddenly appeared in the center of the arena. At the edge of the big pit, the two from the Gale Corps were dumbstruck.

The leader of the Gale Corps, pale-faced, trembling with fear, had a few drops of unidentified liquid dripping down his lower body, his provocative and smug demeanor completely disappeared, leaving nothing but terror.

As for the woman beside him, she was sitting paralyzed on the ground directly.

On the field, Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue themselves were startled. Naturally, they wouldn’t go all out during cultivation, and if not for the Gale Corps captain’s provocation just now, the two of them wouldn’t have thought to unleash their full power all at once.

Immediately, they looked at the two from the Gale Corps with apologetic expressions.

Feeling the gaze across the meteorite pit, the captain of the Gale Corps seemed to sense something terrifying and suddenly let out a strange shout, then sat paralyzed on the ground.

"Xiaoxue, they’re afraid of us, but are we... that scary?"

"It seems like we are, just a little."

Ling Xue’s chest heaved violently, she herself looked at the big pit and the blood-spitting elder with some fear, her sense of guilt intensified. They hadn’t even imagined that the power of that strike could reach such an extent after receiving guidance.

"About the three moves you mentioned earlier, it seems there are still two moves left... Do you still want to continue?"

The atmosphere on the field was a bit eerie, Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while, not knowing what to say, so she crisply asked a question.

What?

Still want to continue?!

Immediately, the terror on the faces of the two from the Gale Corps became even more pronounced, having just had a brush with death at the Ghost Gate, continuing would be as foolish as a long-lived man hanging himself looking for death!

At that moment, both of them and all the hunters present had a thought arise in their minds.

"In the future, we must never offend these two. These two little girls look quite pretty, but they’re complete little demons!"

Hearing Ji Xiaoyan’s words, the captain of the Gale Corps was scared out of his wits.

"No, no, we’ll stop here, I admit defeat..."

"We of the Gale Corps admit defeat!"

In the subsequent Hunter Competition, a bizarre phenomenon occurred: any hunter facing Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue would admit defeat without exception.

What a joke, even the main referee ended up in such a miserable state, how could they dare to confront these two?

With unstoppable momentum, the two swept to victory, securing first place in the inaugural Shenjiang City Hunter Competition.

...

Inside the Cultivation Room.

Ji Xiaoyan was somewhat frustrated, wondering how the competition had ended up like this. She had planned to participate a few more times, but their opponents had already admitted defeat.

At some point, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly asked a question.

"Xiaoxue, do you think that mysterious predecessor might actually be our mentor?"

"You just realized?"

"Huh?!" Ji Xiaoyan had just said it as a casual thought, immediately she looked at Ling Xue in shock, trying to see a joking expression, but unfortunately there wasn’t any.

"You’ve known all along... No, how did you know it was the mentor?"

Ling Xue was a bit helpless, then began to analyze, "Xiaoyan, think carefully, isn’t the insight from that Purple Jade like it was tailor-made for that Essence Blood Secret Technique, making our cultivation exceptionally smooth?"

"It seems like it."

"This obviously isn’t a coincidence, and think about it, have you ever seen anyone else who is so familiar with ice and fire, or say water and fire, or has exhibited the same skill from one person? Not even among Fierce Beasts, right?"
