C192 You All Just Watch Obediently(2)
In the VIP lounge of Redmarsh Stadium, the patriarchs of the seven major families couldn't help but cover their faces in dismay. For the last couple of days, they had been closely monitoring Chu Yi, fully aware of the staggering and fearsome power that resided within his young frame.
Not even seventy prodigies turned Gold could stand a chance against Chu Yi. The disparity in their combat capabilities was simply too vast.
A flicker of excitement lit up the eyes of the seven prodigies the next instant. The unfolding events had taken a surprisingly smooth turn. They had assumed Chu Yi would have detected their presence by now and taken precautions. Yet, it seemed he was utterly oblivious to their approach. Was he too preoccupied with his woman?
But even if Chu Yi had been aware of their arrival and anticipated their attack, the outcome would remain unchanged. They possessed overwhelming strength that could easily crush Chu Yi.
At last, the moment had come. Seven formidable forces emerged instantaneously. But in the final seconds, the seven prodigies held back their power, fearing the guardian might not arrive in time to prevent them from inadvertently killing Chu Yi.
They were, however, overthinking it. Chu Yi's existence was beyond their wildest imaginations.
"Where's Chu Yi?" A fleeting thought crossed their minds.
"It's over!" That was their second thought.
"We're doomed!" And that was the third.
Simultaneously, the seven prodigies felt it—a massive force descending from the heavens, threatening to utterly annihilate them. It was a force as terrifying as a tsunami, rendering their Gold Level strength utterly futile. Before such overwhelming might, they were no more significant than ants.
"You should be thankful that you didn't harbor a killing intent just now..." The seven prodigies lay prostrate on the ground, humbled before Chu Yi's youthful and graceful silhouette. Yet, Chu Yi's gaze was not fixed on them. His focus remained steadfast on Lee Zi's distant figure.
The geniuses might have been oblivious, but the viewers watching the live broadcast could see everything clearly. Even as the seven prodigies made their bold move and closed in on Chu Yi, his eyes never wavered from Lee Zi.
Feng Qingyun evaded every onslaught and, with a method beyond anyone's imagination, instantly subdued the seven formidable adversaries.
Chu Yi's gaze never strayed from Lee Zi, which only added to his fearsome aura. Despite everyone's awareness that Chu Yi was not in the same league as the seven prodigies, they were unprepared for just how fragile these so-called geniuses would be in his presence. It's worth noting that Chu Yi hadn't exerted any significant power; he had remained composed throughout the ordeal.
"The gap is just too vast!"
"They're not even in the same league!"
Witnessing the disparity between Chu Yi and the seven demons solidified the belief that Chu Yi had transcended the ranks of his peers.
The seven demons were on the verge of collapse. They had recognized Chu Yi's immense strength; after all, achieving the Gold Level as a young man was not something an average demon could attain. They were convinced that Chu Yi's ascent to the Gold Level could not have been achieved solely through his talent. He must have utilized numerous other means and leveraged his family's support to reach the status of a Gold Level General. Nonetheless, they were aware that Chu Yi was far superior to them.
Right from the start, they had played their best hands, confident that even if Chu Yi had attained the Gold Level on his own, they would stand fearless before him. But who could have predicted...
Complete domination.
In the face of Chu Yi, they were utterly powerless to fight back. Before they could even grasp what was happening, an overwhelming force descended from above, thoroughly crushing them to the point where they couldn't muster a single move. The gap in their intrinsic strength was insurmountable.
Why was he so powerful?
This question plagued the minds of the seven demons. They were utterly baffled by Chu Yi's terrifying power. How could he be so formidable?
At that moment, they had unleashed their full potential, believing that even against the elite demons of the major families, they wouldn't need all seven to emerge victorious; three or four would suffice to overpower their foes. Yet, in the face of Chu Yi, they were instantly and completely subdued, without the slightest chance to react.
The magnitude of the power differential was beyond imagination. Chu Yi, meanwhile, paid no further attention to the seven defeated demons.
At this moment, his gaze was fixed solely on Lee Zi.
Facing the top-tier Gold Level adversaries, Lee Zi wasn't exactly at ease, but she was performing much better than before.
Her progress was unmistakably clear.
After each battle, Lee Zi would invariably ascend to a completely new level of prowess.
Mistakes made in combat were never repeated; in fact, Lee Zi's improvements often exceeded all expectations.
Thus, after fewer than ten battles, Chu Yi saw hardly any flaws in her.
Of course, this was in the context of her clashes with the Gold Level elites.
Lee Zi's current adversary was a standard mid-level Gold Demonic Beast. Initially, facing such a foe might not have posed a danger to her, but it certainly would have thrown her into disarray.
This time, however, Lee Zi was overpoweringly assertive, managing to suppress her opponent with sheer force.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, the Gold Level demon had virtually no chance to fight back!
That was the most terrifying aspect.
"Control!"
That was how Chu Yi defined Lee Zi in his mind.
It was a fearsome level of control where everything was at Lee Zi's command.
All things proceeded according to her tempo.
This brand of absolute control was dreaded by all.
After all, unless one's strength vastly surpassed Lee Zi's, they would inevitably find themselves at her mercy.
Now, the seven prodigies finally had the patience to observe Lee Zi's combat.
Previously, they had only caught glimpses of her battle with the formidable Gold Demonic Beast and didn't retain a significant impression.
They had assumed that even if Lee Zi managed to triumph, it would come at a great cost, possibly requiring Chu Yi's intervention.
Yet, the reality was that Chu Yi hadn't needed to lift a finger.
The fight was Lee Zi's alone!
And it was unlike anything they had imagined.
Far from looking disheveled, Lee Zi didn't even seem perturbed.
She faced everything head-on with unwavering strength, never once retreating.
Throughout the battle, Lee Zi maintained a firm grip on the situation, denying her opponent even a sliver of resistance.
It was an astounding display, one that could be described as incredibly exaggerated.
The seven formidable geniuses recognized that to reach such a level, Lee Zi's strength had to be at least a notch above what they had anticipated.
In essence, they had thought it laughable that after the two prodigies unleashed their full potential, they could somehow constrain Lee Zi's ideas.
However, it now appeared that Lee Zi was every bit as formidable as the invincible geniuses within their understanding.
Of course, Lee Zi's level of mastery was the most crucial factor!
"Impossible..."
That was the singular thought echoing in their minds.
Without comparison, there's no sense of loss.
If they had only witnessed Lee Zi's might, there wouldn't have been any notable reactions.
But when compared to the elite prodigies from the ancient families they were familiar with, Lee Zi's overwhelming strength and uniqueness became starkly apparent.
"I can't believe this is happening!"
Someone whispered under their breath.
Their entire worldview had been turned upside down.
From Chu Yi to Lee Zi, both individuals had been shattering their preconceived notions.
"Nothing is impossible..."
Chu Yi's voice rose softly, his eyes gleaming with joy.
He was pleased to see Lee Zi's growing power.
In fact, he preferred that Lee Zi surpass him.
After all, this indicated that Lee Zi's chances of survival in the face of danger would only increase.
