Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

Su Mo's move was powerful and earth-shattering as he maximised his full strength in every aspect, besides the sword will.

This strike was slightly stronger than Huo Ling's Shocking Flaming Cloud Cut.

It's unrivaled momentum shocked everyone in the arena, even the geniuses on the List of Top 100 Talents stood up in shock.

Was there going to be another dark horse like the ninth princess in this Top-100-Talent Competition?

The other four fighting rings had already stopped fighting, including the brutal and arrogant youngsters, Nie Chong and Duanmu Ying, who were watching the north fighting ring closely.

In the north fighting ring, the unrivaled sword radiance shot forward with a strong burst of energy and extreme attacking force.

"How is this possible?" Han Qianze roared. Su Mo's overbearing sword made him extremely nervous, and a strong fear of death crept up in his heart.

"Martial Soul!"

With lightning speed, Han Qianze instantly released his Martial Soul, which was a blue block of ice that was three meters long.

Han Qianze's Ice Martial Soul shined with five purple halos, which represented a Rank 5 Earth Class martial soul.

After releasing his Martial Soul, Han Qianze's body erupted with a horrifying and sweeping gust of chilly air with a radius of 5 kilometers.

"Freezing the World!" Han Qianze punched his palms forward and sent out an endless stream of icy air.

The chill spread rapidly from his body, enveloping him within the ice.

In the blink of an eye, Han Qianze was surrounded by layers of thick ice.

This was his unique skill as he could use it to freeze both his opponent and himself.

Apparently, he did not have time to freeze Su Mo and could only freeze himself, creating an impenetrable shield.

The next moment, a deadly sword ray cut onto the ice.

SLICE! SLICE! SLICE!

The sword ray was unstoppable and invincible, cutting clear through the layers of ice.

BOOM!

In a split second, the sword ray broke through the thick ice and cut into Han Qianze.

BOOM!

The sword ray struck Han Qianze's Body-protection Genuine Vitality with a huge explosion.

The sword ray disintegrated, the ice shattered, and Han Qianze was thrown back thousands of meters, spitting blood.

"Oh my god! Han Qianze lost!"

"He was really defeated by Su Mo in three moves!"

"Incredible. Su Mo is another super dark horse who is just as powerful as the ninth princess!"

The spectators stand was in an even greater uproar than when the ninth princess had defeated Huo Ling.

Although Han Qianze was weaker than Huo Ling, Su Mo had completely crushed him in three moves, which was more shocking than when the ninth princess defeated Huo Ling.

Everyone from Gale Island was stunned and silently gasped at the sight of the injured Han Qianze.

Han Qianze, one of the Seven Overlords of Hong Domain, the big disciple of Icynorth Sect, ranked sixth in the List of Top 100 Talents, had been defeated by Su Mo in three moves.

This was too much for everyone to process.

Even those who knew Su Mo, like Jia Yuanji, Han Yijian, and Feng Xiu, were all stunned.

Su Mo's strength had completely exceeded their expectations, and it seemed that he was capable of making it to the top three on the list.

In the fighting ring, Su Mo sheathed his sword and asked Han Qianze with a smile, "Han Qianze, this is my absolute strength. Do you still want to fight?"

"You... puff!" Han Qianze tried to speak furiously but coughed up fresh blood instead.

He looked pale and felt a burning sensation on his face.

He had previously declared that Su Mo was no match for his absolute strength.

Now, Su Mo had used his absolute strength to defeat him, which was equivalent to slapping him hard on his face, humiliating him.

Han Qianze's expression kept changing as he was unwilling to admit defeat and wanted another match.

However, he was extremely injured and needed to heal as soon as possible in order to continue fighting.

Most importantly, he had no confidence in beating Su Mo, and continuing to fight him could cause more injuries.

"Fine! I admit defeat!" Han Qianze said reluctantly through gritted teeth.

GROWL!

As Han Qianze admitted defeat, Su Mo's Dragon Luck flew toward Han Qianze's Dragon Luck.

Han Qianze's Dragon Luck was extremely large. Its golden dragon aura was at least 250 meters long, and 50 meters were immediately devoured by Su Mo's Dragon Luck.

Su Mo's Dragon Luck expanded rapidly and instantly reached 176 meters, which was almost as large as Han Qianze's.

Su Mo smiled and returned to the spectator's stand.

In the spectators' stand, Elder Wei, the Second Elder, and others stared at Su Mo blankly, not knowing how to praise him.

Su Mo smiled plainly and continued watching the competition.

Everyone in the other fighting rings slowly regained their senses and continued fighting.

In the west fighting ring, the brutal and arrogant Nie Chong's expression grew cold. Su Mo's performance had shocked him greatly.

He and Su Mo were both dark horses. If Su Mo could defeat Han Qianze, he could also defeat Duanmu Ying.

"Duanmu Ying, it's time to end our battle!" he shouted loudly and dashed toward Duanmu Ying. His powerful fist broke through the air.

"Overlord Fist!" The dark fist radiance was extremely overbearing and had an unstoppable aura. Nie Chong's fist was strong and fierce.

Duanmu Ying's expression was annoyed as she did not underestimate him at all.

She had already exchanged a dozen moves with him and was shocked by his strength, yet his fist was even more powerful than before.

"Green Jade Palm!" Duanmu Ying's slender white hands turned glass-colored and moved straight toward Nie Chong.

BOOM!

Their moves clashed with a loud explosion, releasing a strong sweeping force.

SWOOSH!

Duanmu Ying was instantly thrown back hundreds of meters with her Qi blood boiling.

"What? How can he be so strong?" Duanmu Ying's face changed. Her opponent's fist force was so strong that it numbed her arm.

The audience burst into an uproar again.

"Duanmu Ying is not Nie Chong's match!"

"How exciting. This year's Top-100-talent Competition has so many masters and dark horses."

"Yes! First, there's the ninth princess, then came Su Mo, and now Nie Chong. I wonder if last year's geniuses will lose their positions!"

"I don't think so! With Ao Wushuang around, even the strongest dark horse can't beat him for first place. But, it's hard to say for second and third place!"

Everyone was chattering away excitingly.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes. Nie Chong was also a body cultivation expert. His skin glowed with a light golden hue, his Qi blood was incredibly strong, and his physical force was very powerful.

Shortly after, Nie Chong unleashed his advantage as a Body-Refining Expert, coupled with his Peak Level 4 True Spirit Realm cultivation, in close combat to fully overcome Duanmu Ying.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

In the fighting ring, Nie Chong's aura was extraordinarily powerful, overbearing, and his Overlord Fist was getting stronger and stronger.

Duanmu Ying continuously retreated.

"World-conquering Fist!"

Soon, Nie Chong roared loudly and his powerful iron fist sent Duanmu Ying out of the fighting ring.

"Wow, Duanmu Ying also lost!"

"Nie Chong is just as strong as Su Mo!"

"I wonder which of these two dark horses is stronger!"

The spectator's stand was immersed in chatter. Many people were red in the face with excitement about these strong competitors.
