Chapter 276: Chapter 214: Decisive Battle! Peak Showdown (Double-Length)

Half a minute later.

"Boom!" Jiang Ye’s spear pierced Yun Qing’Er’s chest, triggering the protective mechanism and eliminating Yun Qing’Er.

Jiang Ye, wins!

...

Second match of the semifinals.

Li Qi versus Lin Qingxue.

"Lin Qingxue!"

"Lin Qingxue, go for it! Defeat Li Qi!" Over a hundred thousand spectators roared like a tidal wave.

Li Qi and Lin Qingxue were the most popular contestants in the arena, aside from Jiang Ye.

Lin Qingxue was even slightly more popular.

This match was definitely the center of everyone’s attention.

As the battle started, Lin Qingxue immediately unleashed her Talent Domain.

Ice Snow Domain!

After Lin Qingxue released her Talent Domain, Li Qi’s movements noticeably slowed.

On his body surface, there was even frost visible to the naked eye.

"Lin Qingxue, with Earth Tier Lower-Level Swordsmanship Great Success." Jiang Ye stared intently at the arena: "How many moves can she withstand against Li Qi?"

Li Qi possessed an Earth Tier Middle-Level Saber Technique, and he had already achieved Great Success.

In this battle, Lin Qingxue was definitely no match for Li Qi.

But how long could she hold out? No one knew.

Jiang Ye also wanted to see if she could probe out Li Qi’s real trump card.

Only half a minute later.

"Boom!"

On the arena, that world-destroying saber light reappeared, dazzlingly bright, annihilating all life force.

Fourth Ultimate Technique—Destruction!

The next moment, a bleeding figure flew out of the arena, crashing to the ground.

Lin Qingxue, defeated.

...On the arena.

Li Qi, with purple hair, sheathed his saber, his expression arrogant.

"There are differences even among the top ten."

"Lin Qingxue? Just so-so." Li Qi shook his head and glanced towards the waiting area, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Jiang Ye, I hope you can force out my Innate Ability, otherwise... it will be too uninteresting."

...

"Li Qi won."

"So strong, he never even used his Innate Ability!"

"That ultimate technique, it’s practically unstoppable, no one can withstand it."

"How does Jiang Ye’s ultimate technique compare to Li Qi’s?"

"They seem about the same, but Li Qi has never used his Innate Ability, so it’s hard to say how Jiang Ye will fare against him," the audience discussed.

Even Lin Qingxue fell so quickly.

Li Qi’s strength was incredibly shocking!

However, this also made the upcoming championship battle full of suspense.

Jiang Ye, Li Qi.

Which of these two is the ultimate winner?

...

The competition continued.

The third match of the semifinals, Yun Qing’Er versus Lin Qingxue, with the two competing for third place.

This battle was equally intense.

But Yun Qing’Er’s strength was ultimately a bit weaker.

In the end, Lin Qingxue emerged victorious.

The fourth match of the semifinals, Jiang Ye versus Lin Qingxue.

This battle went as expected.

In terms of strength, Lin Qingxue was actually not much different from Wang Bo, perhaps slightly stronger.

After all, she was just a middle-ranking student at Northern Domain University, not one of the top elites.

Jiang Ye, as the champion seed, effortlessly crushed his opponent.

...

Thus, the ranking of the top four in this Genius Cup has been determined.

Fourth place, Yun Qing’Er.

Third place, Lin Qingxue.

As for the first and second place? They will be revealed in the upcoming match.

It didn’t keep the audience waiting for long.

"Whoosh!" A figure appeared in mid-air, it was Chu Jingye.

"Everyone!"

"The moment you’ve been waiting for the most." Chu Jingye shouted loudly: "The championship battle is about to begin."

"The final battle!"

"The one who wins this battle will also become the ultimate champion of this Genius Cup!!"

"Now."

"Please welcome! Jiang Ye, Li Qi, onto the arena—"

As soon as the words fell.

Swish! Swish! Two figures disappeared from the waiting area simultaneously.

On the central arena spanning hundreds of meters, the figures of Jiang Ye and Li Qi slowly appeared.

...

"Jiang Ye! Jiang Ye! Jiang Ye!"

"Defeat Li Qi! Defend the glory of the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance!"

"Kill!" Over a hundred thousand spectators erupted completely.

The atmosphere at the scene once again reached a new peak.

Almost all the audience was shouting, like a mountain call or a tsunami, shaking the heavens and earth, an ocean of frenzy.

"Why is everyone supporting Jiang Ye?"

"No one is supporting Li Qi?" Liu Wanxiao said with a look of surprise.

"Because Jiang Ye is handsome." Yun Qing’Er whispered.

After being defeated, she had returned to the audience seats, together with Liu Wanxiao and the others.

"It’s not just because he’s handsome," Shen Changxi chuckled lightly, "it’s also because he represents the last dignity of the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance, counterattacking the Top Ten Schools, which is exactly what many people want to see."

Those around nodded quietly in agreement.

Exactly!

This Genius Cup, Jiang Ye has fiercely fought for pride for the Twenty-Five Schools Alliance.

If it weren’t for him, the alliance would probably lose the top three spots again this time.

"Jiang Ye," Shen Changxi looked at the arena, "you must win the championship!"

...

On the arena.

Jiang Ye and Li Qi stood facing each other.

The two of them fought their way to the finals, sweeping their opponents without revealing their final cards.

Who is stronger?

No one knows.

This battle is destined to be filled with suspense!

"Jiang Ye."

"Can you tell me why you didn’t compete with me for that opportunity earlier?" Li Qi stared at Jiang Ye, speaking slowly: "With your strength, you shouldn’t fear me."

...

Jiang Ye truly did not expect, even at the championship showdown,

the opponent was still hung up on that matter.

"Because I wasn’t interested," Jiang Ye admitted.

"Not interested?" Li Qi was taken aback, that was a middle-level opportunity.

He wasn’t interested?

Suddenly.

He thought of something, his pupils slightly contracted: "Did you take all the upper opportunities?"

Jiang Ye gave him an astonished glance, you just realized?

"I haven’t seen any upper opportunities either," Jiang Ye shook his head, naturally, he wouldn’t attract hostility.

After all, other contestants were still paying attention.

"The reason I wasn’t interested in that opportunity," Jiang Ye explained, "was because I’d already acquired many of them."

"I see," Li Qi nodded slightly.

His expression was relieved.

"Someone who can compete with me for the championship shouldn’t be a coward," Li Qi smiled, "Now it seems, you indeed have what it takes to fight me."

...

Jiang Ye said nothing more.

Both sides fell into silence.

Quietly waiting for the match to begin.

[Match Start]

"Swoosh!" Jiang Ye abruptly opened his eyes, his form shot forward like a cannonball.

He grasped his spear tightly, and before his body even reached, a series of spear shadows burst forth.

"Clang!"

"Clang!" "Clang!" The battle erupted.

In the blink of an eye, the two engaged fiercely, spears and sabers clashing, emitting dazzling sparks, with deafening roars continuing ceaselessly.

"As expected."

"This guy’s star energy burst is strong," Li Qi’s eyes narrowed, "In a direct confrontation, even I’m at a disadvantage."

"Fortunately... his spear technique is only Profound Tier, otherwise, this battle would be difficult for me to win."

"As for now..." Li Qi’s eyes flashed.

At the next moment, the saber technique in his hand unfolded.

"Swish!" "Swish!"

"Swish!" A series of brilliant saber lights exploded, these lights weren’t pure saber auras, but were infused with a trace of spirit charm.

This was the most mysterious part of Li Qi’s saber technique—Saber Spirit Charm!

What is Spirit Charm?

Spirit Charm grants a saber technique a kind of ’spirituality,’ as if it has life, multiplying the technique’s power!

Generally speaking, only Celestial Tier art techniques can cultivate such a spirit charm.

But some upper Earth Tier art techniques also have the opportunity.

Under the influence of that trace of spirit charm, the power of the saber technique Li Qi unleashed suddenly became terrifyingly immense.

As if, in an instant, it soared several levels.

"Boom!" The terrifying pressure covered the sky and earth, pouring towards Jiang Ye.

At this moment, if there were other contestants on the arena, they might be affected by that fearsome pressure, being pressed to the ground instantly.

"Clang!"

"Clang clang clang!" Jiang Ye fought fiercely, undoubtedly the most intense battle since this competition began for him.

"Aren’t you going to use your ultimate technique?" Li Qi snorted coldly: "Then you won’t have a chance!"

The saber technique in his hands became even more violent, like a storm, crashing down.

"As you wish."

Jiang Ye’s gaze turned cold, his spear technique suddenly changed.

"Swish!" The spear swept across, star energy ignited rapidly like a blaze, forming a scorching sea of sunlight within hundreds of meters around.

In the next moment, a huge orange-red sun rose.

Exploding magnificently!
