The surging power rushed into Tangyu's body, ravaging it, yet Tangyu could still withstand it without being harmed.
Tangyu's body was like a top-grade spiritual artifact, how could it be easily damaged?
At this time, although Hao Tianlin was fighting four against one, with great momentum, seemingly having an advantage, his strength, no matter how powerful, could not surpass Tangyu. It was a desperate battle of force against force. In such a hard collision, Hao Tianlin clearly suffered. His body could not compare to Tangyu's, who had undergone Divine Demon Body Refinement. As a result, Hao Tianlin's mouth quickly overflowed with a trace of blood, and his body was severely shaken, slightly injured.
Hao Tianlin gritted his teeth slightly, still persevering bitterly, but his situation was already dire. He knew he was at a disadvantage now. Continuing like this would only result in more severe injuries and ultimately defeat. He initially intended to fight hard against Tangyu, using his strengths against Tangyu, but he didn't expect that Tangyu's ability to endure was so terrifying, completely flawless.
The battle between the two was fierce, the sky darkened, thrilling all who watched, enjoying such a spectacular battle.
Suddenly, Hao Tianlin stopped, shook his head, clasped his fist towards Tangyu, and said, "Tangyu, my friend, your strength is indeed formidable. I admire it. Continuing this fight would only result in my defeat. Let's end this battle here, I admit defeat."
Admitting defeat, Hao Tianlin was quite straightforward, with hardly any unpleasant expression. It was clear that he viewed the Point General Platform battle rather lightly, without deliberate pursuit of anything.
"I acknowledge it; your strength is indeed great; I only got lucky," Tangyu also clasped his fist.
Hao Tianlin shook his head and said, "Tangyu, my friend, you are too modest. This is your strength and your methods. It's not just luck. If we're talking about luck, it's me using the Supreme Immortal Technique and powerful spells to pressure you, yet I still couldn't defeat you. It's somewhat shameful. Today's battle has been quite rewarding. Battling such talented young leaders like Tangyu is fortunate. The mountains and rivers remain, and the green waters flow; I hope to have the opportunity to spar and exchange insights with Tangyu, my friend, in the future."
Hao Tianlin's words were clearly friendly, intending to befriend Tangyu.
Such a thing, Tangyu was naturally willing to accept, and he smiled, "Hao Tianlin, my friend, you're too kind. There will certainly be an opportunity to seek advice from you again. Today's battle has been much offensive."
With Hao Tianlin stepping down, even he had been defeated, Tangyu's prestige was further elevated. Even those absolute geniuses like Qin Wushuang and Hao Tianlin, after seeing them defeated, those who originally wanted to try themselves became hesitant.
Xuanyuan Wushang said, "Hao Tianlin is indeed an exceptional figure; I've heard his name long ago. He is always righteous and well-respected. His uprightness cannot be compared to the likes of Qin Wushuang, who are rebellious. This Point General Platform battle should not see any change in result. Unless those shockingly rare figures appear, no one can defeat Tangyu. Such figures wouldn't come out for a mere Point General Platform battle. Their goal is to become young kings."
Pan Chenyu nodded, "Luoyu Immortal Palace is merely a place for trials and adventure. There's some benefit to the Point General Platform battle, but not enough to move those unparalleled talents. Attracting participants like Qin Wushuang and Hao Tianlin is already impressive. Speaking of immortal fate, the Holy Land doesn't really care. Your Holy Land has living Immortal Venerates. While Luoyu Immortal Venerate is renowned as the most likely to become an Immortal, no one is known to have received their inheritance from Luoyu Immortal Palace."
"Indeed, top-tier genius figures won't spend time practicing at Luoyu Immortal Palace because there's no need. The Saint Heirs of Holy Land are disdainful of it," Xuanyuan Wushang said, his eyes filled with passion and longing as he mentioned pairs.
Saint Heir, it symbolizes identity, talent, and recognition by the Holy Land.
Every Holy Land Saint Heir is immensely famous, known throughout the cultivation world. Becoming a Saint Heir is incredibly difficult, each with the potential to become a young king, or such a title is the privilege of a young king. Young domination, striving for supremacy. Each Holy Land has a few Saint Heirs, easy to count on one hand. Without reaching the pinnacle of the cultivation world in talent and strength, becoming a Saint Heir is impossible. Being titled a Saint Heir implies at least absolute assurance of achieving the Seeking Immortal Realm, with significant potential for becoming an Immortal Venerate. Only talents of such rarity can become a Saint Heir.
Clearly, Xuanyuan Wushang was not a Saint Heir, but he aspired to become one. For the Holy Land, the young generation's fight for the title of Saint Heir is their most intense affair. Some people strive their whole lives for it. Failing to become a Saint Heir, regardless of your ancestry or even being the Saint Lord's offspring, would lead only to mediocrity. Only becoming a Saint Heir allows one to shine brightly, represent Holy Land, and act on its behalf.
A Saint Heir's authority is extremely high. When traveling, Saint Heirs stand on equal footing with Sect Master Immortals from first-class Immortal Sects. A Saint Heir represents the Holy Land's facade.
For example, when Tangyu killed Qin Wushuang, since Qin Wushuang was not the ancient Qin Family's Saint Heir, he didn't represent their face. Hence, even if the ancient Qin Family seeks revenge on Tangyu, it won't be fanatic or beneath their identity, but rather an open and honorable reprisal.
But if Qin Wushuang is the Saint Heir, then the situation would be completely different. The ancient Qin Family would definitely be shaken and would mobilize the entire force of the ancient Qin Family to hunt down the murderer, never resting until the end.
This is the difference, a difference so immense.
Hao Tianlin was defeated. Tangyu stood on the platform, full of heroism, waiting for someone to challenge him. If no one came up to challenge him, then the Point General Platform would default to Tangyu being the General Master, and he would receive tremendous benefits.
At this moment, Tangyu's fighting spirit remained incredibly high, his ambition soaring to the heavens, and he was not at all afraid of anyone coming up to challenge him. In fact, he even somewhat hoped that someone would be able to come up and challenge him. The Fourth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes, Tangyu also felt that it was on the brink of a breakthrough, so he hoped to use such a grand battle to stimulate his potential, allowing the Pangu Nine Axes to break through and cultivate the Fifth Axe. The improvement gained during a battle is the most delightful.
Sun Wukong was seriously injured and had not yet recovered. He grimaced, "It seems no one is coming up to challenge. The position of General Master belongs to Tangyu now. What a pity, my old injuries haven't healed; otherwise, I'd really like to go up and have a fight with Tangyu. The last battle wasn't satisfying."
Pan Chenyu said, "Brother Monkey, don't stir up trouble. If you and Tangyu really start to fight, it's likely to result in mutual destruction. From what I've observed, your strengths are about equal. If you really get into a heated battle, the consequences would be dire."
Sun Wukong thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's true. I, old Sun, am not convinced by him, and he is probably not convinced by me. If we really got into a heated battle, it would end up being mutually destructive, and that wouldn't be worthwhile. Besides, I'm not interested in the position of General Master anyway."
Tangyu's gaze was fixed below; he had waited for half an hour, and still, no one came up. If no one else comes, the Point General Platform should have some change, right? Tangyu was also waiting for that moment to come, not knowing what kind of rewards he might receive. He hoped it would be a great opportunity.
Swoosh—
Just at this moment, a figure soared up onto the Point General Platform and landed heavily. It was an exceptionally burly man, tall and mighty, with very pronounced facial features, as if chiseled, giving off an extremely resolute impression. His gaze was equally so, refined and sharp, like a freshly forged treasured sword, shining with an intimidating sharpness. Such a sharpness also carried significant momentum, directly piercing into one's heart, making it very uncomfortable to watch.
He was tall and well-built, with a broad back and a sturdy waist. He held no weapon, but wore an imposing pair of gauntlets on his massive fists, adding a formidable presence. Each of his fists seemed bigger than a head and emitted a strong aura, suggesting a punch capable of putting a hole in the sky.
Tangyu's gaze also landed on the newcomer, who gave Tangyu the impression of a muscular bodybuilder, brimming with muscles, looking incredibly burly and robust. The man's expression hinted at severity, though his eyes did not reveal excessive ferocity, only an intensely high fighting spirit that seemed almost tangible, ready to burst forth from his eyes.
"Hmm, who is this person? Does anyone recognize him?"
"No, I haven't seen him before. He probably isn't very famous."
"I haven't seen him either; it seems he's an obscure figure. Daring to jump out at this time suggests his strength is definitely unusual. Surely, he's not from the Holy Land. Then where did he come from?"
This person who ascended the platform was clearly unfamiliar to everyone; no one recognized him.
Tangyu looked at the man and respectfully asked, "May I know your name, friend?"
The brawny man replied indifferently, "Just a mere Loose Cultivator, you can call me Hale."
Evidently, he was not willing to reveal his background.
Since the other party was unwilling to disclose, Tangyu naturally didn't inquire further, merely noting the name Hale, regardless of whether it was his real name or an alias. Names, after all, are just symbols and not that important.
Tangyu nodded and gestured for Hale to proceed. Although unfamiliar with the other party's background and depth, Tangyu readied himself. Anyone daring to step onto the stage at this point would definitely not be an ordinary character, so he naturally couldn't be complacent.
