An extreme chill instantly enveloped the entire arena.
Lin Ci's gaze narrowed slightly.
Long Sheng actually learned Long Fei's special skill as well.
On the other side of the arena, Long Jian showed no surprise at the sight.
He also unleashed the strange energy within his body, showing no weakness whatsoever.
The same chilling air soared into the sky, and the same countless ice spikes rose from the ground.
He also used the Cold Shadow Technique.
The two completed their charging up at almost the same time.
Two loud shouts rang out in unison.
The sky was filled with ice spikes, like two unstoppable torrents rushing towards each other.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sounds of intense impacts were incessant.
Countless ice spikes clashed fiercely in mid-air, then turned into a shower of ice shards.
The scene was absolutely spectacular.
Finally, all the ice spikes were used up.
However, the strange energy emanating from the two of them continued to surge.
Without prior arrangement, they concentrated all their remaining power into their palms.
Then, they transformed into two streaks of light and rushed towards each other again.
"boom--!"
A huge and twisted vortex of gravity suddenly formed between their palms.
Then, it suddenly erupted.
A terrifying energy shockwave sent both of them flying.
They traced two parabolic arcs in the air before crashing heavily to either end of the ring.
Both of them knelt on one knee, panting heavily, their alien energy almost completely depleted.
Clearly, neither side had the strength to fight anymore.
After a brief moment of deathly silence, the entire arena erupted in unprecedented cheers.
Everyone watched with great excitement, exclaiming that it was incredibly thrilling.
But soon, problems arose.
"How...how do we calculate this?"
"Both players are too tired to continue, does that mean it's a draw?"
Discussions arose from the audience.
On the judges' panel, the dragon elders were also facing a dilemma.
"They truly are the two most outstanding children of this generation!"
"Yes, given time, they will surely be able to rival the two clan leaders, Long Fei and Jian Long!"
"But given the current situation... neither of them has the strength to fight anymore. How about we call this a draw?"
The elders discussed it amongst themselves, but none of them could make up their minds.
In the end, everyone's gaze turned to the white figure who had remained silent throughout.
"Saintess Long Ying, what do you think?"
Lin Ci's gaze also fell on Long Ying.
He was very curious about what judgment she would make 100,000 years from now.
Long Ying's deep purple eyes merely swept across the scene.
Immediately, a clear, cold voice rang out, reaching everyone's ears.
"The victor is Long Jian."
Chapter 58 Brother Lin Ci...you've finally arrived...
As soon as the words fell, the whole place was in an uproar.
On the judges' panel, several dragon elders looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.
The 70,000-year-old elder couldn't help but speak, his tone carrying a hint of cautious inquiry.
"Holy Maiden, this...they were clearly exhausted, why..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear.
Why force a winner when the score is tied?
Will this cause dissatisfaction among the White Dragon Clan?
However, Long Ying merely glanced at him indifferently without offering any explanation.
The coldness in those eyes made the elder shut his mouth instantly, and a fine layer of cold sweat seeped out from his back.
Seeing this, the other elders dared not have any more doubts.
Just as the crowd in the stands was discussing the matter.
On the arena, however, the situation changed.
The two people, who had been thrown back by the energy blast, slowly stood up from the ground.
On Long Sheng's face, there was not a trace of resentment, but rather a bitter smile of relief.
He raised his hand and touched his neck.
There, a trace of cold, strong wind seemed to linger.
"It seems I've lost."
He spoke frankly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.
Only he knows.
What happened in that lightning-fast energy clash?
At the most crucial moment, Long Jian deliberately revealed a flaw.
A flaw that could put him in a desperate situation.
He instinctively seized the opportunity, mobilized the last remaining alien energy in his body, and pressed his other palm towards Long Jian's chest.
They wanted to win in one fell swoop.
However, that flaw itself is a trap.
Long Jian seemed to have anticipated all of his actions.
Almost at the same instant he made his move, Long Jian arrived first despite being behind.
His attack was easily neutralized by a single hand.
The other hand, with a speed he couldn't react to, slashed at his neck.
At that moment, Long Sheng's mind went blank.
He could even feel the chilling death brought by the palm strike.
But just as my palm was about to touch his skin...
All the power vanished in an instant.
Long Jian stopped.
Only a cold gust of wind remained, grazing his neck.
Immediately afterwards, the strange energy from the collision of their palms completely went out of control and exploded.
And that's how the scene everyone witnessed came about.
Long Jian's face still held that gentle smile.
"Accepted."
Long Sheng's curiosity overwhelmed all other emotions at that moment.
"how did you do it?"
Long Jian answered calmly.
"The Cold Shadow Technique: attack the enemy with three parts, and keep seven parts for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Long Sheng's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You...you've already mastered it?"
Long Jian shook his head.
"I've only mastered the basics."
Long Sheng let out a long breath.
This time, he was truly convinced.
He solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Long Jian.
"Then I'll accept defeat willingly."
After saying that, he turned around, faced the entire arena, gathered his strength, and shouted loudly.
"I surrender!"
These two words, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand waves.
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers that were more enthusiastic than ever before.
