"What happened?" Huo Ling was frightened. His blood was flowing from his chest like a stream while his Genuine Vitality went into chaos.

Although he had meditated and calmed down his Genuine Vitality, Huo Ling could not stop the blood from flowing.

"Swoosh!"

At this moment, Su Mo dashed toward him and swung his long sword. Suddenly, Huo Ling's Shocking Flaming Cloud Cut vanished completely.

"Accept your defeat!" Su Mo shouted.

His sword radiance shone and powerful sword Qi shot through the air.

"Infinite Universe!"

Immediately, the extremely sharp sword Qi soared and rushed at Huo Ling.

"Oh no!"

Huo Ling's expression changed. Without any hesitation, he hurriedly used the Genuine Vitality to resist the attack.

"Boom!"

The astonishing sword Qi hit directly on Huo Ling's long saber. Huo Ling was immediately struck by the indescribable force and then flew backward, while everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Huo Ling flew 10 miles away from the Central Fighting Ring and landed in the north fighting ring.

"Swoosh!"

Su Mo did not give Huo Ling any breathing room. He followed him to the fighting ring while releasing his dazzling golden light. Then, he slashed down hard at Huo Ling's head.

The sword contained Su Mo's incredibly powerful physical strength.

Having been stupefied by Su Mo's attack, Huo Ling now felt his Qi blood churning inside him while the wound on his chest was bleeding freely, enervating him.

Huo Ling's blood was flowing toward Su Mo. But Su Mo would not devour the blood essence in front of so many people.

Before the blood approached him, Su Mo's aura had shattered it into nothing.

At the crucial moment, Huo Ling raised his long saber to resist Su Mo's long sword.

In the next instant, the Spirit-slayer Sword hit his long saber.

"Clang!"

With a great explosion, the powerful strength poured out from the Spirit-slayer Sword, which shocked the entire fighting ring.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a ceaseless series of explosions on Huo Ling's body. The spray of spurting blood was like bloody flowers blooming from his first web, arms, and legs.

Within a minute, Huo Ling was flattened by the strong force. His body was unable to withstand the heavy strike and it exploded instantaneously.

If Huo Ling were not in the solid post-archean fighting ring, he would have already been knocked into the ground.

Many people in the fighting ring exclaimed, "Huo Ling has failed!"

Su Mo's strength was powerful enough to go against nature.

The ninth princess had defeated Huo Ling after attacking him hundreds of times, when his Genuine Vitality did not work very well. But, Su Mo was able to beat him within just a few moves. Hence, Su Mo's strength was more powerful than the ninth princess', so he might be second on the list.

Su Mo was the most powerful dark horse in the competition.

Elder Wei and the others from Gale Island were also shocked by Su Mo's strength.

"Swoosh!"

After striking out one blow, Su Mo drew backward and calmly watched Huo Ling.

Su Mo had quickly lessened his force when he attacked Huo Ling. Otherwise, he would have killed his opponent.

No one at the same level could bear his strength.

"Poof!"

Huo Ling spat out a mouthful of blood. He started wobbling and looked incredibly pale.

He was badly injured. Not only were his internal organs wounded, but he also lost a lot of blood, which made him feel very weak.

"How could it be?"

Huo Ling was frightened with his eyes wide open. The power of Su Mo's strike had almost killed him.

"Huo Ling, you failed." Su Mo said indifferently.

In fact, if Huo Ling had not used his Martial Soul, Su Mo would not have either. And without using his Martial Soul, it would have taken a great effort for Su Mo to beat him. But under the power of the Martial Soul, Su Mo easily defeated the wounded Huo Ling.

Huo Ling looked very disappointed, then he said, "Su Mo, your strength is convincing. You're No. 2 now."

"Oh? Really?" Su Mo answered without commenting further.

Huo Ling shook his head and said, "Although you have powerful strength, you can't defeat Ao Wushuang!"

After a short while, Su Mo's Dragon Luck flew out and ate 24 meters of Huo Ling's Dragon Luck. Now, Su Mo's Dragon Luck became 213 meters long. Then, he flew back to the spectator stands.

All the elders and disciples from Gale Island looked in surprise at Su Mo, which made him a bit uncomfortable.

"Master, are you satisfied with my achievements?" Su Mo smiled as he spoke to Elder Wei.

Elder Wei took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Su Mo, I don't know if you can be No. 1, but with your present strength, I think you might get second place."

"Right!" Su Mo nodded.

"You must try your best to become No. 2." Elder Wei spoke to him full of hope. If Su Mo could become No. 2 on the List of Top 100 Talents in the text competition, everyone in Gale Island would be amazed when he went back there.

"No. 2?"

Su Mo nodded again. But in his mind, he would either not attend the competition, or he would be No. 1.

In the Central Fighting Ring, the fifth round competition started— the ninth princess vs Nie Chong.

They both were dark horses in the current competition and both had strong fighting force. The crowd also looked forward to their combat.

However, many spectators thought highly of the ninth princess because her flower protection was invincible. Aside from Ao Wushuang, no one could defeat her.

Everyone thought she had won the match from the very beginning.

The crowd could not clearly see the ninth princess' face as it was covered with a white veil.

In front of her, Nie Chong looked very nervous. Of course, he knew the real strength of the ninth princess. If he could not break her flower protection, he had a slim chance to win.

"Overlord Fist!"

Nie Chong showed his mighty Overlord Fist in the very beginning. The fist force was very overwhelming, and it moved toward the ninth princess as fast as lightning.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The ninth princess moved her slender white hands, and then eight pink flower petals appeared to protect her. Soon afterward, she began to strike back.

"Ethereal Flower Cut!"

A giant petal like a sharp saber tore the space and collided with Nie Chong's fist force.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the giant petal was smashed, while the fist radiance also disappeared.

"Dominating Fist!"

Nie Chong's attack had failed, but his aura became stronger. He struck the ninth princess again with strong fist force.

"Swoosh!"

Under the protection of the eight petals, the ninth princess flew into the sky in a flash and avoided the attack.

Then, the ninth princess waved her arms and thousands of petals shot from her hands, which overwhelmed Nie Chong.

"Destroy!"

Nie Chong shook his fists with his fist force blowing through the entire space. His Dominating Fist broke the beautiful petals one by one.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Although Nie Chong's fistplay had fiercely destroyed most of the petals, they continued to fly unceasingly from the ninth princess' hands.
