Chapter 525: Chapter 246: Status Promotion, Genuinely Recognized! (Vote for Monthly Tickets, Catch-up Reading)
In the sky, after a clash between Xu Zhou and Wang Beiwang, an incredibly violent energy storm immediately erupted.
Sensing this energy storm, Zhong Qiang and Zhang Yuandong not far away were instantly amazed.
"Such strong energy fluctuations!"
"Brother Xu has grown stronger again!"
Zhong Qiang wore an expression of admiration. The first time he saw Xu Zhou, the latter was only at the Late Stage Fifth Grade realm.
But now, Xu Zhou had already broken through to the Sixth Grade, and the power he was now unleashing made even him feel immensely uneasy!
Zhang Yuandong was also full of admiration: "As expected of Xu Shuai, even at the Sixth Grade, he can fight against Commander Wang like this..."
At this time, Li Shuai said from not far away: "Our Commander hasn’t even started attacking yet. If he truly gets serious, your Xu Shuai might not hold on for even a single move before collapsing."
"However, he’s only at the Sixth Grade realm, and being able to force our Commander to counterattack is already quite impressive."
Li Shuai was full of emotion. He wasn’t belittling Xu Zhou, just speaking the truth.
Zhong Qiang and Zhang Yuandong understood this too. At this moment, they were increasingly curious about where this battle between Xu Zhou and Wang Beiwang would lead.
"Look, they are clashing again!"
At this moment, Commander Tang suddenly shouted out.
Upon hearing this, everyone present focused their attention.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
In the battlefield ahead, a figure darted swiftly, charging fiercely at Wang Beiwang.
Terrifying waves of energy erupted continuously.
The fearsome pressure compressed the area to a near-vacuum within a thousand miles, with not a trace of clouds in sight.
Yet, despite such a fierce offensive, Wang Beiwang remained steadfast.
"Late Stage Seventh Grade, indeed very tough. Without using some special means, it’s hard to even break through his surface defenses," Xu Zhou thought to himself.
In fact, through these exchanges, he had roughly understood the strength of the Seventh Grade.
If it were an ordinary early-stage Seventh Grade expert, Xu Zhou was already confident he could injure them.
But against a Late Stage Seventh Grade, the gap was indeed too wide.
After yet another exchange, Xu Zhou looked ahead and shouted: "Commander, you’re only defending and not attacking, making it challenging for me to witness the true allure of the High Grade!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Beiwang smiled slightly and said, "You’ve got courage, then as you wish."
In truth, he was also waiting for Xu Zhou to say this.
After all, as a Late Stage Seventh Grade expert, if he were to actively attack Xu Zhou, it wouldn’t reflect well on him.
Now that Xu Zhou had actively requested it, he naturally wouldn’t be polite anymore.
"Young friend, be careful!"
Wang Beiwang lightly shouted, and the platinum-colored thin sword in his hand suddenly erupted with boundless might.
"Roar!"
Immediately, the thin sword transformed into a unicorn-headed platinum horned dragon that roared upon its appearance.
An aura far surpassing the previous erupted forth!
As soon as the Platinum Horned Dragon appeared, the nearly vacuum space surrounding it experienced a reverse surge of wind, as if air from ten thousand miles around was rushing in.
This is the terrifying control ability of a Late Stage Seventh Grade over Heaven and Earth Energy.
Not making a move was fine, but once done, it was earth-shattering!
"Commander is truly making a move?!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Commander Tang couldn’t help but exclaim.
Even he felt the terror of that power! Not to mention Xu Zhou, wouldn’t he be torn apart in an instant?
Li Shuai, however, remained calm and smiled, saying: "Don’t worry, with Commander’s control over his moves, at most he’ll just give Xu Shuai a light warning, it’s impossible for him to actually harm him."
"However, with Commander using this move, it seems the battle is without suspense."
Li Shuai shook his head ruefully; he had hoped to watch more of this exciting battle.
Meanwhile, Zhong Qiang and Zhang Yuandong clenched their fists, extremely nervous, fearing Wang Beiwang might accidentally injure Xu Zhou fatally.
...
Meanwhile, sensing that terrifying power, Xu Zhou’s expression suddenly shifted.
"Found it!"
A gleam suddenly flashed in Xu Zhou’s eyes.
Previously, with Wang Beiwang standing motionless, he resembled a seamless, tightly-sealed bronze bell, showing no flaws.
But now, the opponent was finally moving, which also meant that flaws in himself had appeared!
This was the reason Xu Zhou had just actively requested the opponent to attack.
When a Martial Artist reaches the High Grade, their body merges with the Heaven and Earth Dao, becoming flawless and without defects as all vulnerabilities gradually close.
Due to this, with his Sixth Grade realm, it was extremely difficult for him to find the flaws of a Late Stage Seventh Grade.
But the Late Stage Seventh Grade was not without flaws!
If one reached the Ninth Grade level, it would truly be impossible to find any flaws.
But in the Seventh Grade, there still existed a few flaws, which, though fleeting, could be seized if seen.
"Swoosh!"
In a flash, Xu Zhou’s figure transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing forward.
At this moment, as Wang Beiwang raised a finger, the Platinum Horned Dragon roared and charged at Xu Zhou.
Yet Xu Zhou did not evade, heading straight forward.
As soon as he reached within a thousand meters of Wang Beiwang, he raised his hand, and the Five Elements Formation Flags flew out, placing themselves around Wang Beiwang at four positions: Kan West, Qian South, Kun North, and Li East.
"Buzz!"
As the flags fell, the innate hexagrams merged with the Heaven and Earth Five Elements, instantly unleashing the power to seal the heaven and earth.
In an instant, Wang Beiwang felt the space around him being sealed, preventing him from moving out of this area for a short time.
"Oh?"
Wang Beiwang couldn’t help but show a slight smile, thinking to himself that this little guy was quite interesting.
Although the Five Elements Formation Flags could seal him for a moment, it would only be a moment, and if he wished, he could break free in a few breaths.
