Chapter 227: Su Qian Speechless, Liu Qing Scared to Tears
Liu Qing unleashed his full power, sending shockwaves of awe through the entire arena.
"His strength… it's actually this terrifying?"
"Could he already be on par with Lin Xiuya, ranked second on the Strongest Rankings?"
In one corner, a group of figures watched with solemn expressions.
Han Yue's beautiful face held a trace of apprehension, while the burly Yan Hao wore a helpless look.
"Looks like I won't be holding onto my third place rank for much longer."
Yan Hao was self aware he could already tell just from Liu Qing's energy that he wasn't his match.
And now, witnessing his ultimate skill firsthand, there was no doubt.
"If I fought him, I'd be crushed."
Lin Xiuya furrowed his brows.
"So, Liu Qing was hiding his true strength all this time… for the sake of defeating me?"
"I have to admit, if he had unleashed this move on me out of nowhere, we'd both end up severely injured!"
Yan Hao was stunned.
"Damn, even Lin Xiuya has an ace up his sleeve?!"
Meanwhile, on the railing, Zi Yan was casually swinging her legs, munching on her candy with a delighted smile.
"Little Yan Hao, it's not just third place you won't be holding onto you won't even be in the top four anymore."
The three turned their gazes toward her, eyes filled with curiosity.
Zi Yan noticed their stares and grinned mischievously.
"Don't look at me like that. Strictly speaking, I'm not even ranked first on the Strongest Rankings anymore."
"!!!"
The trio was utterly shocked.
What did she mean by that?
Their gazes instantly shifted to Wu Tian.
At this moment, the elder referees in the arena wore grave expressions.
"Liu Qing's technique… it's already at the threshold of an Earth tier skill!"
"He's a monster!"
His pitch black pupils reflected the golden spear energy that engulfed the arena.
As the target, Wu Tian could feel the overwhelming sharpness contained in that golden glow.
Yet, his face remained… completely indifferent.
"What's going on? Does he plan to just take the hit?"
Just as everyone was wondering what Wu Tian was thinking, a three colored flame appeared in his hand.
The instant the flame emerged, the golden radiance that had filled the battlefield…
Vanished.
It was instantly devoured.
Liu Qing's face twisted in pure horror.
"T This… T That's an Heavenly Flame?!"
Before he could react, Wu Tian casually flicked the three colored fire toward him.
A giant lotus of flames blossomed midair, floating toward Liu Qing.
The moment it left Wu Tian's hand, its energy surged wildly.
Within a second, the lotus expanded to ten meters in diameter, warping the surrounding space with its sheer intensity.
Wherever it passed, the arena floor collapsed, as if struck by a meteor.
There was no need to guess how terrifying the explosion would be.
At the sight of the flaming lotus, the refereeing elders immediately sprang into action.
"Quick! Defensive barriers! Now!"
A group of Dou Wang level elders rushed forward, unleashing their full power to form a massive energy shield.
"Holy sht "*
Liu Qing's mind went blank.
His ultimate technique was instantly recalled, and he coughed up blood from the backlash.
But he didn't care.
Because that lotus was still coming for him.
And then
Wu Tian casually threw another one.
"H Holy sht!!!"*
It wasn't just Liu Qing this time.
Everyone in the arena cursed in unison.
Even the elders who had just erected the protective barriers were stunned.
"ONE was already enough to kill! Why the hell are you throwing ANOTHER?!"
On the stands, Lin Xiuya, Yan Hao, and Han Yue all had their mouths hanging open.
Even Han Yue, usually cold and composed, couldn't stop herself from exclaiming, "Holy sh*t!"
This was beyond terrifying.
Zi Yan, at the very least, pounded people into the ground with her fists.
But Wu Tian?
He didn't even need to touch you!
Just one of those lotus bombs could wipe you off the map!
And then
Wu Tian threw two more.
At this point, six flaming lotuses floated in the air, encircling Liu Qing.
Liu Qing's soul nearly left his body.
Even before they detonated, his knees were shaking.
He could already see his own death.
The refereeing elders, their faces drenched in cold sweat, shouted at the top of their lungs:
"EVERYONE! GET OUT OF HERE! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!"
Hearing this, the students finally snapped out of their shock and scrambled to flee.
But
Before they could escape, a figure appeared in midair, landing heavily on the arena's perimeter.
Su Qian.
The Grand Elder himself had arrived.
His expression was unreadable, but in his mind, he was already exhausted.
"For fck's sake… not again."*
"These damn Heavenly Flames keep popping up one after another!"
"I swear, if Fallen Heart Flame starts acting up because of this, I'm DONE."
His head ached.
He knew Wu Tian was up to something.
If he didn't intervene, someone was going to die.
The other elders weren't fast enough to stop this madness.
Su Qian stared at the scene before him.
Six deadly fire lotuses, slowly orbiting a completely petrified Liu Qing.
The first lotus had already grazed past his shoulder.
And the other five were hovering ominously, as if greeting him one by one.
Liu Qing had completely broken down.
His trademark Overpowering Spear was already on the ground, long forgotten.
His face was as pale as death.
He was frozen stiff, eyes blank, lips trembling.
No trace of his usual arrogance remained.
At this point, he didn't look like a top Inner Academy elite.
He looked like…
A scared, helpless fool.
Su Qian sighed, waving his hand to dismiss the elders' defensive barriers.
Seeing the Grand Elder arrive, the students who were about to run hesitated and sat back down.
"With Su Qian here, we should be safe now… right?"
The Grand Elder glanced at Liu Qing's ashen face and bellowed:
"Liu Qing! What the hell are you waiting for?! SURRENDER!"
Liu Qing's soul snapped back into his body.
His voice shook uncontrollably, barely more than a whimper:
"I I give up… I lost… Please let me out of here… I… I don't wanna die… Grand Elder, SAVE ME!"
Su Qian: …
"Well, sht. This kid is broken beyond repair."*
"This fight didn't just defeat Liu Qing…"
"It completely destroyed him."
