“This seems like an Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique.”
At that moment, people also realized that the sky full of blood-red thunder unleashed by Chu Feng was indeed an Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique.
“Could it be that Chu Feng intends to use an Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique to counter such a formidable Ninth-Rank Immortal Technique?”
“That’s too reckless, isn’t it? Even though Chu Feng’s Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique is impressive, it can hardly stand against a Ninth-Rank Immortal Technique, can it?”
“What’s more, the technique Chu Lingxi is using is the Ancient Clan’s Holy Light Wheel, one of the most powerful Immortal Techniques of the Wanzhou Ancient Clan.”
Despite the overwhelming might of the sky full of blood-red thunder, when people realized it was an Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique, they couldn’t understand Chu Feng’s choice.
In their understanding, no matter how strong an Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique was, it had its limits.
Even the strongest Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique paled in comparison to a Ninth-Rank Immortal Technique, especially one as ferocious as Chu Lingxi’s.
“Brother Chu Feng, I don’t want to hurt you.”
“How about we set the midpoint between us as the line and let our techniques clash? Whoever’s technique crosses the line wins, sounds good?” Chu Lingxi said to Chu Feng.
Though her words sounded arrogant, compared to others, she showed no hint of underestimating Chu Feng.
She knew his Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique was no ordinary one, so she wouldn’t let her guard down.
“Alright, as you wish.”
Chu Feng agreed with Chu Lingxi’s proposal.
After all, both of their techniques were highly destructive. Even if they held back, they could still cause serious harm.
Chu Lingxi’s suggestion allowed them to test their techniques’ strength without injuring each other.
“Let’s begin.”
Buzz—
As Chu Lingxi spoke, the Tomorrow Wheel above her head shot out a beam of light.
The beam didn’t aim for Chu Feng but headed towards the midpoint between them.
Boom—
Almost simultaneously, thunder roared, and countless blood-red thunderbolts intertwined, forming a massive blood-red thunder dragon.
The dragon also charged towards the midpoint between them.
Bang—
Light burst forth, and blood-red thunder soared. Their strongest techniques clashed head-on.
It was a sustained contest, like two armies vying to seize each other’s territory. Whoever crossed into the opponent’s domain would win.
Yet, the two forces were evenly matched, locked in a stalemate with no clear victor.
Until both Chu Feng’s Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique and Chu Lingxi’s Ninth-Rank Immortal Technique exhausted their power, no result emerged.
“A draw, it’s actually a draw.”
“Incredible, Chu Feng really managed to hold his own against the Wanzhou Ancient Clan’s strongest Immortal Technique with an Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique.”
“But to be fair, for Chu Lingxi to achieve this at such a young age is truly remarkable.”
“This time, the Chu Heavenly Clan is bound to rise, it’s definitely going to rise.”
“The Chu Heavenly Clan’s leader, with peak Venerable strength, is just a step away from Supreme Realm, which is already impressive.”
“Now, with two monstrous geniuses like Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi, this is even greater than when Chu Xuanyuan was alive.”
“The heavens are favoring the Chu Heavenly Clan.”
For a moment, the crowd was filled with exclamations.
Though it was clear that Chu Feng and Chu Lingxi had held back, unlike the all-out battles of other juniors, their duel felt more like a spar.
Yet, undeniably, their performance had captivated everyone present.
From their duel, people saw the future prosperity of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
It would be a height the Chu Heavenly Clan had never reached before.
And they felt that day was not far off.
…
After the duel, the Chu Heavenly Clan sealed its borders once more with a barrier formation.
However, the onlookers lingered, still savoring what had happened at the Chu Heavenly Clan that day.
Since he couldn’t help the Chu Heavenly Clan’s leader with his injuries, Chu Feng decided to join the interrogation of the Blood-Devouring Hall members.
Chu Lingxi accompanied him.
“Brother Chu Feng, it seemed like you didn’t go all out just now.”
On the way, Chu Lingxi suddenly spoke.
“No, I didn’t hold back,” Chu Feng shook his head.
“Don’t lie to me. Your Immortal Forbidden Martial Technique is powerful. I could tell. If you had gone all out, my Ancient Clan’s Holy Light Wheel might not have been a match for it,” Chu Lingxi said.
“I really didn’t hold back.”
Chu Feng was lying. He had indeed held back, just as Chu Lingxi suspected.
Though her Ancient Clan’s Holy Light Wheel was strong, Chu Feng’s Immortal Forbidden Blood Thunder Technique was slightly superior.
If he had gone all out, he could have won.
But in a public setting, he didn’t want to embarrass Chu Lingxi.
A draw was the best outcome.
“Still lying to me? Do you think I’m foolish?”
“But Brother Chu Feng, even if you held back, I still won. Do you know why?”
Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on Chu Lingxi’s face.
“Tell me,” Chu Feng said, curious.
Crackle—
At that moment, dazzling lightning appeared before Chu Feng.
It was Chu Lingxi’s nine-colored lightning, released from her body, forming a thunder armor that covered her.
At that moment, her cultivation level rose.
“You little rascal.”
Even Chu Feng was astonished.
All this time, not only had he held back, but Chu Lingxi had too.
She had unlocked the power of the thunder armor but hadn’t used it earlier.
If she had, her cultivation would have increased further.
At that point, Chu Feng truly wouldn’t have been able to match her.
