I Am Overlord

Chapter 476: Rapid Cultivation Increase

Tang Longfei shouted, "If anything bad happens to Brother Yun, all of you will die with him!"

Forced to face Zuo Zhentian at the same time of trying to stop Bai Qi and Zhao Wu from harming Xiang Shaoyun, Tang Longfei converged his draconic aura around his fists. He released punch after punch. Zuo Zhentian alone was already a difficult opponent for him. With the addition of Bai Qi and Zhao Wu, this fight became infinitely harder for him. It wouldn't be an easy feat for him to face three opponents alone.

Before long, Bai Qi and Zhao Wu broke free and approached Xiang Shaoyun. Yu Caidie had noticed everything, but instead of doing anything, she merely stood aside and watched on.

Since you are so keen to throw your lives away, you can't blame anyone else for what’s going to happen next, she thought.

"Return my big brother!" Bai Qi roared and slashed his sword at Xiang Shaoyun. Zhao Wu attacked as well, swinging around his halberd, which was shining with a bright green radiance. He created numerous massive pieces of wood that pounded Xiang Shaoyun.

Both of them were aware that Xiang Shaoyun was currently attacking his surroundings thoughtlessly. From how powerful these attacks were, they concluded that Xiang Shaoyun had most likely suffered from cultivation deviation. This would be a great opportunity to step on him while he was down.

However, when their attacks reached Xiang Shaoyun, his attacks of wind and lightning instantly decimated their attacks. Instead of stopping after destroying their attacks, the storm of wind and lightning pressed on and bombarded them, putting them in a difficult situation.

The berserk wind made it hard for them to maintain a stable footing, and the silver lightning bolts rained down on them with a great destructive force. When the two powers worked together, they became even scarier.

Bai Qi and Zhao Wu were forced to quickly retreat, but they were still blasted to the point they were coughing blood. Xiang Shaoyun’s attacks were actually at the level of an Emperor, something beyond what War Emperors like them could withstand.

"Damn it! I refuse to believe I can't kill you!" Bai Qi wasn't thinking straight due to his anger and attempted to attack once more.

Zhao Wu quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Bai, stop. He is in a really odd condition. He might be in a state of thoughtlessness. The moment we attack, he will counterattack by instinct. We might as well wait until this state is over before attacking. We will definitely be able to kill him with one hit then."

Bai Qi calmed down and said, "You're right. Let's wait."

Meanwhile, the battle between Tang Longfei and Zuo Zhentian was getting heated. Both were true geniuses with similar strengths. Since they were already battling each other, they would not stop before a victor was decided.

Zuo Zhentian had an Innate Lightning Celestial Physique. Summoning lightning bolts with his every move, he bombarded his opponent terribly and attacked like a bringer of calamity. Tang Longfei's Soaring Dragon Fist was tough and domineering. Coupled with his fist intent, each punch was incomparably mighty, wreaking havoc everywhere. They were evenly matched, and it did not seem like a victor would be decided anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun seemed completely oblivious to all that was happening around him. He continued brandishing his fist and palm, blasting all the extra energy out of his body.

The two energies might be able to increase his cultivation level, but since he was using only one star to store one type of energy, the available energy was too much for him to store without using his other stars as well.

Since he was cultivating nine different powers, each of his stars could only store an energy that was different from the other stars. That was why he was wasting so much wind and lightning energies and blasting them out randomly. If he only cultivated one power, just this yin devil wind would probably be enough to push him to the next realm. historical

Sure, his current growth rate was rapid, but cultivating nine powers had still caused him to waste too much of the energy he could otherwise use to increase his cultivation if he only cultivated one power.

Of course, the current Xiang Shaoyun would not be bothered about all that. His sole focus was to preserve his life. If he allowed the additional energies to fill his stars to the point they burst apart, he would die.

Soon, three days passed. Zuo Zhentian and Tang Longfei had ultimately ended their battle with a draw. They had not been fighting with the intention to kill. If they had, the winner would only end up weakened, allowing the other geniuses to make a move on him instead.

As for Xiang Shaoyun, his movements were slowing down as he had nearly expelled all the additional energies from his body. He slowly regained his clarity. He had reached the seventh-stage Skysoar Realm, advancing a total of three stages. This was an astonishing speed of growth.

Of course, that was not thanks to the yin devil wind alone. The silver lightning core had also played a great role in that. With the two working together, he had managed to grow so much in only three days. The geniuses were filled with envy when they saw how much Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation level had grown.

"That's my yin devil wind! My yin devil wind! Damn it!" Ruo Suifeng had survived thanks to Yu Caidie. He felt his heart bleeding when he looked at Xiang Shaoyun. The yin devil wind was something he wanted to obtain for himself. Now that someone else had benefited from it, he was filled with indignation. And due to his bad shape, he couldn't even try to steal the yin devil wind from Xiang Shaoyun.

"Brother Xiang has actually taken the yin devil wind for himself? How are we supposed to face the Holy Maiden now?" Huo Xudong suddenly sighed from the side. He wasn't speaking loudly, but his voice was still loud enough for everyone to hear, causing them to feel upset.

"He won't live past today," said Bai Qi.

The others probably shared the same thought as well. None of them would let Xiang Shaoyun live after this. The moment Xiang Shaoyun stopped releasing those random attacks, they would make a move on him. Just the fact that he had refined the yin devil wind himself was enough of a reason.

Only by killing Xiang Shaoyun would the yin devil wind reappear. The newly reappeared yin devil wind would be much weaker, and they would be able to obtain it easily. Huo Xudong might seem like he was lamenting randomly, but those few words were enough to fan the fury of all the geniuses.

Tang Longfei was seated cross-legged before Xiang Shaoyun, trying his best to recover. He knew that a bitter battle was incoming. Regardless of whether he could stop all those people, he would still do his best to protect Xiang Shaoyun.

Suddenly, Yu Caidie declared, "Xiang Shaoyun has obtained the yin devil wind. He is the winner of this competition, and is now my future husband candidate. Everyone else, you will be receiving your rewards when we return to the Bloodsin City."

Those were shocking words. Instantly, the expressions of the geniuses changed. They had always thought that only by presenting the yin devil wind to Yu Caidie would one be considered the winner. And since Xiang Shaoyun had taken the yin devil wind for himself, he should have instead been disqualified.

However, Yu Caidie had actually made such a decision. That was something they found hard to accept. But it was not like there was anything they could do. Yu Caidie was after all the competition’s organizer.

Long Yunfei said, "If that's what the Holy Maiden says, I have nothing else to say. If he is able to survive, I wish to challenge him. I hope the Holy Maiden can see with your very own eyes which man is the better fit for you."

Long Yunfei did not want to give up on being the Yu Clan's son-in-law. It was at this moment that Xiang Shaoyun stopped blasting those random attacks. Evidently, whatever state he was in had ended.

"Kill!" Bai Qi and Zhao Wu charged him without any delay.
