C498 The Anticipated Battle

The two people fighting on the arena were Late Period of Astral Reaching Stage cultivators who had condensed a Shen Hua. This kind of strength was already not bad in the Outer Palace, but compared to Xu Daolin and the others, the gap between them was still too great.

Fortunately, the two of them did not face off against the two leader disciples. On the contrary, the two of them drew together. Although the two of them were not as strong as Xu Daolin and the others, their battle was still extremely intense.

After all, this competition was no longer the previous preliminaries. As long as they won, they would be one of the top ten Outer Palace disciples, and at the same time, they would also be qualified to enter the Sandalwood Book Will. Neither of them would admit defeat easily, so they fought with all their might.

The stage was filled with the aura of a battle. The aftermath of the two's battle was not only a battle between their fists and feet, but also a battle between the two Shen Hua.

Although the two people on the arena were not Xu Daolin and the others fighting, the audience was still watching with relish.

However, Xu Daolin and Duan Qianyue, who were standing below the arena, did not pay any attention to the battle at this moment. Their auras were all locked onto each other, and even their bodies were emitting a kind of aura that was invisible to the naked eye.

"It's a surprise to meet him so early, but it's only a matter of time before he and I meet." Duanqianyue's aura locked onto Xu Daolin as he thought in his heart.

To him, Xu Daolin was the only person in the Outer Palace who could rival him. He also wanted to know who was stronger between him and Xu Daolin.

However, he didn't expect that he would bump into his opponent in the top ten qualifying rounds. It would be fine if he won this battle, but if he lost, it wouldn't be as simple as losing to Xu Daolin; it would decide who could participate in the sandalwood Book Will on behalf of the academy.

Duan Qianyue also had his own understanding of the situation of the Sandalwood Book Will. With his personality, he naturally wanted to meet with the young experts on the Rank Of Stars, so he would not allow himself to lose to Xu Daolin. This was not only a matter between the two of them, but also related to the qualifications to enter the Sandalwood Book Will.

Thinking of this, Duanqianyue's eyes also became sharp. The aura on his body began to spread in all directions, causing everyone who came into contact with his aura to be shocked.

Elsewhere, Xu Daolin, who had also locked onto Duanqianyue with his Qi, was also looking at the only person in the Outer Palace whom he regarded as his opponent.

Xu Daolin's face was as calm as ever, and sometimes one really wondered if he was an emotionless person who could remain calm and composed in the face of everything.

Perhaps it was because of this kind of magnanimity that he was able to suppress the people of the Yuan Alliance, but in the end, Xu Daolin's prestige in the Yuan Alliance was built on his absolute strength.

"It seems that he has also touched that domain. As expected of someone I view as my opponent. After all, the Outer Palace is only our temporary residence. The Inner Palace is where we can truly compete, but it is also a good thing to be able to defeat you once before entering the Inner Palace." Xu Daolin felt the Qi from Duanqianyue's body lock onto him, and discovered some clues. He thought in his heart.

To Xu Daolin, Duanqianyue was his only opponent in the Outer Palace, and also the only person he wanted to chase. This kind of emotion wasn't something that came later on. Back then, Duanqianyue and Xu Daolin were the same batch of disciples who entered the Outer Palace, and they were both the New Hegemons.

There were a few others who were also the New Hegemons, but in the end, only the two of them stood out and reached the Outer Palace. One of the reasons for this was that the two of them had been competing with each other since the beginning of the Trial Ground.

Only from freshmen to seniors, from The New Hegemon to the leader disciple, the two of them had never truly fought each other. Although there had been friction in the past, it was always at the right time and ended quickly.

They had a chance to fight now, and both of them would fight with all their might, for no other reason but to put an end to all the fighting over the years.

It could be said that they were not the only ones who were looking forward to the fight. They were also looking forward to the fight themselves.

Both of their eyes locked in the air, their auras locked. The people around them realized what was going on and consciously distanced themselves from them. As a result, the place that should have been full of people appeared to be empty, with the two of them at the center.

The two people on the arena were still engaged in a delightful battle, but more people were paying attention to the two leading disciples below the arena. If these two were to know that no one was paying attention to their match, no one knew how they would feel.

Even so, the two people in the ring would not be affected by the reaction of the audience, because this was the last match to decide the top ten, and they did not want to be defeated in this ring.

Therefore, there was a very strange situation in the entire trial venue.

Some people were fighting on the arena, while some people were secretly competing with each other below the arena. It seemed that the battles on the arena were even more heated, but in reality, the confrontation between the two people below the arena was even more dangerous.

The place that should be filled with shouts had become quiet at the moment. Only the sound of the battle on the stage could be heard.

Such a strange situation had also attracted the attention of the several elders and the Master of the House of Ye in the main audience seats.

"This is obviously a battle between them, but at this moment, it seems to be more like the prelude to the battle between the two of them. Interesting," Chu Angsheng said as he looked in the direction of the Trial Arena.

"The two of them are leading disciples to begin with. Their strength has already reached the critical point of the Astral Realm. If they continue to advance, they will enter the Inner Palace. So, it's not surprising for them to cause such a situation." Lih Hongtao said from the side.

Although the two Prefecture Masters did not say any words of praise, the meaning of their words of praise was very clear. Not many people could receive their praise, but the two of them were worthy of such an evaluation.

The hall elders behind him were the same as Chu Angsheng and Liu Yun. In their hearts, they too were filled with admiration for the two leading disciples. Indeed, they had been able to reach this stage at their age, and once they entered the Inner Palace, their achievements would not be something they could imagine.

However, when Yun Fan, who was beside Chu Angsheng, heard their evaluation of the two of them, he subconsciously curled his lips. As a core disciple, to a certain extent, he was more talented than the two of them.

Therefore, in his eyes, Xu Daolin and Lee Zhuohua could at most be said to be alright. He did not think that they were very powerful, but in his heart, he was even more interested in Lee Zhuohua.

As for the reason behind this, perhaps only he himself knew.

Other than Yun Fan, however, the battle between Xu Daolin and Duan Qianyue was indeed something that everyone was looking forward to. Even if the Outer Palace's first place would not be decided in the next competition, everyone would still consider it as the peak battle between the Outer Palace disciples.
