The empty square on weekdays was already crowded with people at this time, and discussions were flowing.
Almost all the staff in the back garden of Sheng Yao Si had gathered here, ready to witness the duel between Ji Jiayu and Wang Yinlan.
Normally, a battle between a fifth-level Ming Zun and a tenth-level Ming Shen would be unsuspecting, but before the duel began, Wang Yinlan had stated that she would suppress her own cultivation to be exactly the same as Ji Jiayu's. Whether it was the total amount of divine power, the texture of her sacred skin, her sacred bones, the tenacity and hardness of her sacred circuits, the speed of absorbing divine power, the proficiency of her own sacred arts, or anything else, everything would be the same.
In short, it was a seemingly fair fight.
After three months of dedicated training for Ji Jiayu, all the staff of Sheng Yao Division had a complete understanding of Ji Jiayu. Knowing his talent and formidable strength, they considered him the strongest in their class. Even in private, many staff members were betting on the outcome of Jiayu and Wang Yinlan.
Of course, Wang Yinlan knew about these small actions of her subordinates, but she didn't care.
To help Ji Jiayu and for the sake of the Guangming clan, these staff members bid farewell to their families and would stay here for a long time, keeping the secret.
After about half an hour, the noise gradually quieted.
Ji Jiayu and Wang Yinlan walked from outside the field onto the field at the same time, standing fifty meters apart.
At this special moment, Nie Lanxi also stopped cultivating, stood up, and walked into the crowd behind Ji Jiayu, watching him from a distance.
Ji Jiayu took a deep breath, banishing the distracting thoughts in his heart, and left the discussions from all directions, leaving only Wang Yinlan on the opposite side in his eyes.
"Five... Four... Three..." On the sidelines, a referee announced the score, "Two... The fight begins!"
The words fell, and Ji Jiayu's spiritual power enveloped an area twenty meters in diameter. At the same time, the two sacred techniques, Holy Sword and Holy Spirit Guardian, were used almost instantly.
The light of the Holy Spirit landed on Ji Jiayu's body, adding a layer of protection. The sacred sword roared, but it only reached twenty meters in front of Wang Yinlan before disappearing silently, clearly deconstructed by Wang Yinlan.
This wasn't the first time Ji Jiayu had a sacred technique deconstructed, but this was the first time it had been deconstructed so easily.
The sacred technique was deconstructed, and Ji Jiayu didn't panic at all. He once again used the divine sword, but this time, he unleashed the sacred technique!
The so-called unveiling of a sacred technique wasn't simply a matter of increasing the output of divine power, but rather a proportional expansion of the sacred art technique, enhancing the resonance and influence of one's divine power and the divine power in the void, thus making the sacred art's scope larger and its power even stronger.
However, there were drawbacks to developing sacred magic: it was easily out of control and required strong mental fortitude to control it. So, did Ji Jiayu possess strong spiritual power? He certainly did.
And at the same time as he unleashed his sacred technique, Wang Yinlan's sacred technique also roared from afar—it was a relatively mediocre divine light bullet within the fifth-level sacred technique. However, under Wang Yinlan's revelation, the power of the divine light bullets skyrocketed, and their numbers skyrocketed, roaring like meteor fragments falling from the sky.
But as soon as they entered the area enveloped by Ji Jiayu's spiritual power, Ji Jiayu's spiritual power, which had originally been intertwined like tentacles, suddenly began to deconstruct the divine light bullets like a cocoon, causing them to dissipate naturally.
In just a few seconds, he instantly cast two sacred arts, instantly unlocked a sacred art, and instantly deconstructed a sacred technique. Ji Jiayu's skillful use of various techniques stunned the audience.
They usually tested Ji Jiayu separately: some were responsible for testing his Divine Light, some were responsible for testing his Divine Form, and some were responsible for testing his Yao Form. No one had seen him at full power before, and no one knew how strong he was, but now they knew.
Ji Jiayu was strong, very strong, so strong that they could barely fathom his true strength.
After all, all the sixth-level Ming Venerables present couldn't do it, and the seventh-level Ming Saints were completely unfounded. Not to mention them, the technique Ji Jiayu used made even an eighth-level Ming Sheng wipe his sweat upon seeing it. Although an eighth-level Ming Sheng could do it, it was still a fifth-level holy technique, so what was there to be proud of? It was strange that he couldn't do it!
Ji Jiayu and Wang Yinlan came and went, the battle situation seemingly calm, and even explosions were rare, but in reality, the sensation sent shivers down the spines of many staff members.
Several times, Wang Yinlan's holy technique was about to hit Ji Jiayu, but Ji Jiayu was able to calmly deconstruct it at the last moment, and before that, he had already found a flaw in Wang Yinlan's defensive circle.
Incredible, incredible! The Guangming clan members present had never seen such a magnificent duel; this was simply a display of the peak of a fifth-level cultivation!
However, this was only the beginning, and neither of them had even used their full strength. In the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed.
With only sacred techniques and sacred patterns, Ji Jiayu and Wang Yinlan were helpless. Each possessed the strongest shield and the strongest spear, making it extremely difficult to defeat the other.
Since it was impossible to break the stalemate with his own strength alone, he could only rely on external forces. Under the gazes of countless people, Ji Jiayu summoned the Sacred Pearl.
Seeing this scene, everyone was excited, and no one thought that Ji Jiayu was cheating.
What were these people doing here? Wasn't it just to give Ji Jiayu a better chance of seizing the Sacred Pearl? If Ji Jiayu didn't use the Sacred Pearl during the battle, was he hiding it? Did it look good in his hand?
If it existed, it must have been used, and it must have been used for a special purpose!
They wanted to see how powerful Ji Jiayu was, and with the support of the Sacred Pearl, his strength could be enhanced.
Their eyes widened, filled with anticipation.
The next second, after Ji Jiayu's spiritual power touched the Sacred Pearl, the Sacred Pearl bloomed with a bright light. Under the radiance, Ji Jiayu had also undergone a profound change. The length and width of his sacred circuits skyrocketed in an instant, causing him to feel a sense of emptiness in his body. He immediately triggered a massive vortex in his Sacred Ocean, allowing divine power to flow into him.
With the influx of massive divine power, Ji Jiayu's strength soared. His comprehension of many sacred arts had greatly increased, making it much easier for him to construct and deconstruct sacred arts.
