The Shining Star Above The Heaven

Chapter 758 - 758: The Result of the Battle

Zander, entering the state of serenity at this moment, was ready to unleash his ultimate move. He decided to use Infinite Slash, as this was the perfect opportunity for him. A few moments ago, when he was under the effect of the dragon's intimidation, he tried to suppress it using his own will.The moment he felt fear, he recalled the past he never wanted to return to. He would not be scared anymore like before. He refused to be a coward. He had to defeat the fear within his heart! He had to move forward firmly, destroying any obstacle and showing others that he had already left his past behind.

The beast inside Kang Yongjin was nothing compared to the eye in the sky that once brought terror to the entire continent. If he could fight the weaker version of it inside his illusion, then he could fight the beast inside of Kang Yongjin!

His sword will, growing firmer and stronger, caused every sword in the stadium to react. All of them floated and pointed their tips towards him. It was as if the swords gave their respect to a sword will worthy of receiving honor.

He channeled most of his energy and comprehension into this single sword strike. Since yesterday, he had already perfected the Infinite Slash inside of his mind, making it far stronger than before. However, at this moment, he tried to push it even further, determined to make his Infinite Slash stronger, even if it meant he might suffer some setback.

The moment Kang Yongjin unleashed his fist technique, a massive spatial wave shot toward Zander. The space bent along the line of the punch and continued to move at incredible speed. If this technique had been unleashed by Sect Master Kang, it would have collapsed the entire space in front of him and even created a spatial storm.

However, for Kang Yongjin, this power was more than enough to defeat his opponent. The punch, containing the strength of a high marquess stage cultivator's attack, would surely bring him the winner's title.he sword slash still carried dangerous momentum, and with Kang Yongjin unable to move due to the toll of his technique, if that attack had struck his body, Orlav had no doubt the Black Dragon Pavilion would have lost this prodigy.

He sighed at the unexpected turn of events and then turned his gaze toward Zander. At this moment, Zander was still standing, though it was clear he was forcing himself to remain upright. He looked as if he could collapse at any moment. His breathing was unsteady, as if he were starved of oxygen, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. His robe was torn in several places, and lastly the mask…

It slowly loosened from his face, and finally—

Thud!

The mask dropped, revealing Zander's true face. The spectators, still watching the aftermath of the clash in astonishment, finally saw the man behind the mask. However, most of them did not recognize him, except for a few who had once come from the Heavenly Path Academy.

"Hey, isn't that Zander?"

"Zander who?"

"The one rumored to be His Majesty's disciple."

"What? That's him?"

"Yes, that's him! That's Zander!"

"I was in the same class as him in the past. There's no way I could forget his face."

Conversations like this quickly spread among those who knew Zander from the Heavenly Path Academy. The revelation passed through the stadium like wildfire, and soon the people began to realize—everything that had happened finally made sense.

His talent and potential were something not everyone could possess, and with the strength he displayed, there was no one more worthy to guide him than Aldrian the Great himself. It was no wonder he used the sword strike once displayed by Aldrian the Great—surely His Majesty had taught him!

Too bad for them, they did not know that the technique was only inspired by Aldrian's strike. No one had ever taught Zander.

The stadium was in an uproar, but Zander ignored them all. With what little energy he had left, he raised his right hand, still gripping his sword, into the air. His arm trembled as though he were forcing himself to keep it aloft.

Orlav, seeing this, could not help but sigh and smile. Then he turned his gaze to the spectators.

"The match is over! With one participant incapacitated, the winner and champion of the Earl Stage is Mister Z!" Orlav announced.

"UWOOO!"
