I Am Overlord

six months in secluded cultivation.
When the seclusion ended, he was already a late ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, shocking many people with his rapid growth.

And during the last six months in the secret space, he had also grown considerably.
He was now a peak Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator standing at the very top among all the disciples present.

With his strength, he naturally had the courage and qualifications to challenge the Little Overlord.

”You have decent strength, but you have picked the wrong opponent, ” said Xiang Chenxi indifferently.

”Is that so? I ’ll never know before I try, ” said Ye Linshan.
He took a step forward and drew his sword, sending forth a majestic green ray.

Xiang Chenxi did not even bother using any weapon.
He swung his palm at the ray, sending a bolt of lightning toward it.
The two attacks collided, and a deafening explosion ensued.
As far as the True Martial Academy disciples were concerned, Ye Linshan would not last more than 10 moves against Xiang Chenxi.
Only after the two started fighting did they realize how strong Ye Linshan was.

Not only did Ye Linshan have remarkable swordsmanship, but his combat instincts were also incredible.
He showed no fear of the lightning bombardment and sent out one enchanting sword ray after another.
The sword rays were so powerful it seemed like he was going to cut the entire stage into pieces.

It was then that Xiang Chenxi realized he had met a strong opponent.
He started using his full strength and summoned numerous fearsome mutated lightning bolts, displaying the might that had earned him the title Little Overlord.

Even after exchanging more than 100 moves, they were still unable to determine the victor.
This was most definitely the most intense battle thus far.

The longer the fight dragged on, the more furious Xiang Chenxi became.
He had not imagined that Ye Linshan would actually give him so much trouble.
In his fury, he roared, ”Looks like I really need to show some of my real strength.
Time for you to get lost! ”

Divine Dipper Lightning Discharge!

The power of lightning around Xiang Chenxi increased in intensity.
The lightning energy wrapped around him before erupting.
It was as though a star was exploding, unleashing an incredibly dreadful might.

Even a fifth-stage Soul Foundation Realm expert would probably be killed facing his attack.
This was Xiang Chenxi ’s true strength, a strength befitting the number three disciple of his academy.

Everyone was sure that Ye Linshan would be seriously injured and suffer defeat.
Instead, they saw a withered tree suddenly grow out.
The withered branches started flogging the lightning attack and fully exhausted it of energy before it could hit Ye Linshan.

Immortal dead tree!

This was something he had obtained from the primary-grade battleground back then, and he had clearly refined the tree into his body, which was how he could erupt with a sudden burst of strength during the crucial moment.

The immortal dead tree was incredibly powerful.
It charged right into the midst of the lightning and managed to even injure Xiang Chenxi.
In fact, the many withered branches almost successfully captured Xiang Chenxi.

At the last moment, Xiang Chenxi suddenly unleashed a different trump card that not only beat back the immortal dead tree but also proceeded to go after Ye Linshan. 

At that moment, Ye Linshan suddenly opened his mouth and voiced his surrender.
Since he had surrendered before taking Xiang Chenxi ’s final attack, he did not lose horribly.
On the contrary, he managed to impress the surrounding disciples, causing them to start exclaiming that this batch ’s Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples were quite impressive after all. 

With the end of their fight, the competition ’s finale arrived.
