Holding a sky-blue jade sword in his left hand, with two yellow, one purple, and two black spirit rings shining brilliantly around his body, Oscar's expression remained unchanged. He calmly stared at Ailan and Xie Yue.
There was no need for the referee to announce the start of the match. Oscar spoke coldly: "You two, come together."
The moment these words fell, everyone present was in disbelief. Although Oscar's spirit ring configuration was already shocking, this was far too arrogant.
Ailan's strength was beyond question. The seven strikes he had unleashed against the New Shenfeng Academy that day were enough proof of that.
As for Xie Yue, even though he had not personally taken action before, who in Spirit Hall did not know that he was the strongest among the Golden Generation, invincible among his peers.
Although Oscar was also level fifty-five, to want to take on two opponents at once was simply too wild.
Unlike the shocked onlookers, Ailan merely let out a cold snort, raised his sword, and attacked.
Xie Yue did not strike immediately. Though Oscar was arrogant, he still wanted to observe the strength of the two brothers. If they were evenly matched, he could wait and reap the benefits. If Ailan was truly about to lose, then he would do as Oscar wished and join forces with Ailan to crush his arrogance.
Xie Yue was on Ailan's side, but as a member of Spirit Hall, his first priority was naturally the interest of Spirit Hall.
Oscar ignored Xie Yue and began exchanging blows with Ailan.
In the eyes of the spectators, the two were evenly matched. With similar sword techniques and equal spirit power, it was naturally difficult to determine a winner in such a short time.
Since they were putting on a full display, Oscar and Ailan's long swords danced in the air, sending freezing sword energy throughout the arena. Surprisingly, Oscar's sky-blue jade sword was in no way inferior to Ailan's Ice Sword.
Sword qi filled the stage, crossing and clashing continuously.
To the audience, it seemed the brothers were fighting with all they had, yet neither was gaining the upper hand.
Bibi Dong's eyes lifted slightly. From what she knew, Oscar was only sixteen years old. Not only had he caught up with his brother Ailan, but his strength was astonishingly solid with not a trace of hollowness.
She was a genius herself, one of the top figures on the entire continent, but even in her youth, she had not been as powerful as Oscar was now.
Before witnessing Oscar's true strength, she had only imagined what he might be capable of. Now, having seen him, she was even more convinced that Ailan needed her support.
Ailan's talent was indeed strong, but within expectation. This younger brother's talent, however, was nothing short of heaven-defying.
And with those other monstrous geniuses from Shrek Academy, if Oscar inherited the Sword Sect and had such a group of prodigies at his side, he would undoubtedly rise to greatness.
Furthermore, Spirit Hall was currently supporting Ailan. If Oscar took power in the future, he would naturally hold a grudge against Spirit Hall, and winning him over would be no easy task.
What was more, this child was not just gifted in cultivation. From the news she had received from Yu Xiaogang, it was clear he had other talents as well. And since he had offended Yu Xiaogang, this boy could not be allowed to live.
Bibi Dong turned to Chen Xin: "Sword Douluo, what do you think of these two's swordsmanship?"
Chen Xin's eyes were full of admiration: "They are both geniuses."
Bibi Dong looked at Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Master Ning, since your daughter is at Shrek Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Sword Sect must have a rather close relationship."
Ning Fengzhi had long expected Bibi Dong to bring this up. He smiled faintly: "Your Holiness is mistaken. Rongrong ran off on her own and joined some academy at random. Who would have thought she would end up involved with the Sword Sect?"
"But perhaps it is a good thing. The Sword Sect has only just emerged, and building a connection with them may be beneficial."
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her gaze back to the arena.
Since neither brother could defeat the other with just their swords, they finally began using their spirit skills.
Yellow and purple spirit rings shone as even stronger sword techniques filled the air. The once-solid arena floor was soon crisscrossed with deep cracks.
Ailan's Ice Sword shone with a cold light as his fourth purple spirit ring lit up: "Fourth Spirit Skill: Ice Thorn Pierces the Heart!"
A terrifying wave of icy energy gathered on the blade. Ailan bent slightly, his sword like a drawn bowstring, sword energy condensed into a line.
With a thrust, a terrifying killing intent locked onto Oscar's heart.
Oscar's expression remained calm. He lightly raised his sword across his chest. His fourth black spirit ring lit up.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Giant Sword Across the Sky!"
As the black spirit ring shone, Oscar quietly stored his fourth spirit skill sausage into his soul tool. The sky-blue jade sword in his hand suddenly grew several times in size, turning into a massive five-meter-long sword radiating a deadly aura.
Oscar gripped the sword with both hands and swung!
The giant sword cut through the air like bamboo, shattering Ailan's fourth spirit skill in an instant and striking down toward Ailan with murderous force.
The brothers had been evenly matched, but a thousand-year spirit skill could not compare to a ten-thousand-year one. The power of a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring was overwhelming.
At this moment, Xie Yue finally moved. His first, third, and fourth spirit rings lit up simultaneously. His speed reached its peak as he appeared beside Ailan in an instant, his twin moon blades unleashing a blinding light.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Crescent Moon's Sorrow!"
The twin moon blades merged into one enormous blade, unleashing a devastating slash.
Ailan only glanced at Xie Yue without speaking and released three strikes of sword qi from his Ice Sword.
Boom!
The two of them together blocked Oscar's attack. Oscar looked at Xie Yue without expression: "Heh, I thought you wouldn't intervene. No matter, fighting one or two of you makes no difference."
Ailan snorted coldly: "Arrogance comes at a heavy price."
Xie Yue smiled faintly: "Since you requested it, I will oblige."
In the next moment, Xie Yue and Ailan attacked together. The moon blades gleamed coldly, and the Ice Sword's energy was soul-piercing.
Oscar showed no fear. Wielding his sky-blue jade sword, he fought both of them at once.
Sword qi crossed and clashed, spirit skills shone brightly. The three Soul Kings unleashed a terrifying battle in the arena.
Hu Liena and Yan stared blankly, their hearts heavy. This fight had already reached a level they could not easily join.
Whether against Oscar or Ailan one-on-one, they could not imagine any chance of victory.
Fortunately, Spirit Hall and Lingyu Academy stood together, and the final match was a team battle, not a one-on-one duel.
One-on-one, they could not defeat either Oscar or Ailan, but in a team battle, even two Oscars would not be enough to match Spirit Hall Academy.
This was Hu Liena's confidence.
Oscar unleashed a strike that forced both of them back. He said calmly: "In that case, let us decide this with one move."
Without waiting for Xie Yue or Ailan to reply, his fifth black spirit ring lit up.
The black spirit ring radiated a dazzling light. Oscar threw his jade sword into the air, and it transformed into countless sky-blue motes of light that filled the sky.
With Oscar's spirit power surging, each light condensed into a long sword. The number of swords was beyond counting.
"Fifth Spirit Skill: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"
At this moment, Xie Yue and Ailan unleashed their strongest attacks. Ailan could feel the aura of death from this skill.
Was this really a spirit skill a Soul King could possess? This was the power of a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring!
Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin, watching from the high platform, could not help but be impressed: "This child is truly extraordinary."
None of them knew that Oscar had created this spirit skill himself, inspired by Chen Xin's own technique.
Ailan's fifth black spirit ring lit up, and a terrifying chill filled the arena, freezing the air. He struck several times in an instant.
But the endless sword rain locked onto Xie Yue and Ailan, falling continuously. Ailan's fifth spirit skill was powerful, but it could only block the sword rain for a short while.
Each swing consumed a large amount of his spirit power. Even with his current strength, he could not swing endlessly, yet the sword rain showed no sign of ending.
Xie Yue was no better off. His fifth spirit ring shone as his body became a silver whirlwind, desperately enduring the endless rain of swords.
He used his own self-created spirit skill, Full Moon, which combined offense and defense, but even so, the sword rain did not stop.
Everyone was stunned. The sky-blue swords rained down without end. Oscar stood calmly, forming a sword seal with his hands, watching the two fight for their lives without the slightest change of expression, as if his spirit power would never run out.
After a long time, Xie Yue's spirit power was exhausted, and to avoid being injured by the sword rain, he was forced off the arena.
Ailan continued to hold out, but each swing drained him further. After several more minutes, he finally leapt off the stage, unable to withstand the sword rain any longer.
Seeing that they had conceded, Oscar waved his hand, and the countless swords dissolved into light and vanished. He stood calmly in the arena, his presence sharp and awe-inspiring.
Everyone was shocked by Oscar's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect. At only level fifty-five, he possessed such a terrifying ultimate move. Even a Soul Emperor might not compare.
Only now did Hu Liena fully understand Ailan's feelings. With such a monstrously talented younger brother, how could seizing the position be anything but difficult?
Bibi Dong looked at Oscar, who seemed like a celestial being, her gaze filled with cold light.
If anyone here hated Oscar the most, it was Yu Xiaogang. If not for Oscar, he would still be playing the doting teacher to Tang San.
Such a monstrous talent could not be allowed to remain.
