Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

At this moment, everyone’s focus was on Han Luoyu.

Han Luoyu stood at the edge of the high platform, his light blue robe fluttering in the wind, black hair dancing lightly.

“Master, I’m going.”

“Hmm, go ahead.” Xi Yingqing smiled slightly and patted his shoulder. “If you can truly win, I will change my long-held belief.”

Hearing this, Han Luoyu’s face lit up with joy.

Finally, he had heard the words he had been waiting for. However, he subconsciously ignored the first part: ‘If you can truly win.’

“Disciple will not disappoint you, Master!” Han Luoyu cupped his fists and bowed before flying down.

If he won today, he would be the greatest hero of the sect!

The supreme power called truth would belong to him!

Boom!

The martial arena began to shake violently. The previously divided five areas gradually merged into one, becoming a true top-tier battleground.

Boom! Boom!

Two figures descended, their powerful auras clashing fiercely, each occupying half the sky.

“Han Luoyu, it’s finally our turn.” Duanmu Longque took a deep breath.

His upper garment burned away, revealing a green tattoo on his back, like a sinister snake made of flames.

“Yes, and this time, your outcome won’t change. You’ll still lose.” Han Luoyu’s clothes also shattered, revealing his strong upper body covered in wide, crimson patterns, exuding a mighty aura.

【Overlord Meridians】!

One of the top-tier talents, almost equal to bloodline traits. Han Luoyu relied on this to compete with those possessing innate physiques.

“Is that so? I don’t think so.” Duanmu Longque twisted his neck, his body turning red as if emerging from lava.

In an instant, their auras grew even stronger. If not for the martial arena’s robust formation, it might not have withstood their auras’ clash.

“This is the power of the top two on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?”

“It’s truly terrifying!”

The crowd was awestruck.

For most, witnessing such high-level battles firsthand was rare. Their understanding of the Hidden Dragon Ranking’s geniuses was mostly second-hand.

Seeing it now, they felt deeply impressed. Even a trace of their leaked aura could kill most onlookers.

“Chief Xi, this battle will decide the final winner. Are you nervous?” Duanmu Yang, now composed and confident, asked.

Beside him, Qin Hong also seemed relaxed, even sipping tea.

“A foregone conclusion, why be nervous?” Xi Yingqing replied calmly.

“Indeed, I love foregone conclusions,” Duanmu Yang smirked, believing Xi’s confidence was misplaced and eagerly anticipating his reaction when proven wrong.

“Go Senior Brother Han!”

“Go Senior Brother Duanmu!”

Amidst the cheering of disciples, the two in the arena finally moved!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They erupted in a flurry of movements, exchanging dozens of blows in an instant. Weaker cultivators couldn’t keep up with their speed, only seeing explosions and flashes of fists in the air.

“Ten Thousand Fire Celestial Scroll: Inferno King’s Palm!”

Duanmu Longque, now a figure of flames, unleashed palm strikes surrounded by boundless fire.

“Extreme Dragon Overlord Art: Gale Style!”

Han Luoyu countered with a punch that summoned fierce winds, creating massive tornadoes that shattered all palm prints. Their martial arts, both top-tier within their sects, perfectly matched their talents.

Especially for Han Luoyu, whose 【Extreme Dragon Overlord Art】 was specially found for him by Xi Yingqing.

“Duanmu Longque, you took forever to beat that little girl. What makes you think you can win today?” Han Luoyu’s eyes gleamed with confidence, his body flickering as he clashed with Duanmu Longque.

“Extreme Dragon Overlord: Great Wind Song!”

Whoosh!

A giant fist of wind swept towards Duanmu Longque. Upon collision, blood spurted from Duanmu Longque’s mouth as he was sent flying back hundreds of meters before barely stabilizing.

One punch determined the difference!

“You can’t win!” Han Luoyu stood in mid-air, declaring coldly.

Roar!

The audience burst into cheers, especially the Tai Xuan Sect disciples, believing Senior Brother Han held an absolute advantage since Duanmu Longque was bleeding.

“Senior Brother Han is invincible!” many disciples shouted.

The geniuses on the high platform also relaxed.

“It seems the outcome is decided. Duanmu Longque stands no chance, just like before. Continuing would be futile,” one genius remarked.

However, in the arena, Duanmu Longque suddenly laughed.

“Hahaha!”

His laughter made Han Luoyu frown, not understanding why he laughed.

“It seems I can’t win without using it.” After wiping the blood from his mouth, Duanmu Longque took a deep breath.

As he spoke, his body blurred, ripples spreading from within.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The green snake tattoo on his back seemed to come alive.

Whoosh!

As the green snake opened its eyes, the entire arena trembled as if a great terror was about to descend.

The surrounding temperature skyrocketed uncontrollably.

“What is this!” Han Luoyu’s pupils shrank, his face showing disbelief.

“Heaven and Earth… Strange Fire!!!”
