Rumble~

With a loud crash, the ten-meter-long Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard was flipped over by Zhu Jinfeng, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ha~"

She grabbed the lizard's tail, suddenly exerting her strength, and actually threw the massive creature weighing over 5 tons out of the ring.

This scene stupefied everyone around.

"I thought Niu Taijie, born with divine strength, was already terrifying enough, but there are even more experts!"

"Scary, can a girl's strength really be this great?"

"I know her! Zhu Jinfeng, the runner-up of this year's Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition, I was there!"

"She must have mastered the Fire Technique completely; what celestial could possibly defeat her to take the championship?"

Under the crowd's murmurs and gaze, Zhu Jinfeng, like Niu Taijie, was defeated in front of the fifth Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard to appear, only getting 4 points.

However, with her 9 points, she's now leading the scoreboard, reigning supreme and overlooking all rivals.

Gu Junchen managed to get 5 points in the previous round using the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, but since his cultivation is Wind Force Mastery and Fire Mastery, he only scored 3 points in the Flaming Sun Desert round, placing second with 8 points.

Xu Yuebing only scored 2 points, ranking third with 7 points.

Ye Qingzhou warmed up by twisting his neck and then jumped into the nearest sand pit.

Seeing someone else initiating a challenge, the others were ready to watch the show.

Among the crowd, Leon was the most excited: "Master Ye is taking action!"

Soon, a four-meter-long Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard emerged slowly from the yellow sand, flicking its tongue, then suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Ye Qingzhou.

"No breathing, no heartbeat, it's completely evolved from Primordial Qi?"

Ye Qingzhou's eyes lit up, it was his first time knowing that Primordial Qi can not only evolve natural phenomena but even lifelike creatures!

With a breath of Fire's Inner Breath, Ye Qingzhou's muscles seemed electrified, brimming with explosive force.

A swing of his fist, simple and direct, neatly and swiftly knocked the one-ton Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard out of the ring.

This made the young martial artists watching on the sidelines wide-eyed, especially Huang Dengfeng and Gu Junchen, who showed expressions of disbelief.

"He only activated Fire's Inner Breath without using any martial technique? How is that possible!"

"Is he another Niu Taijie born with divine strength?"

Even Zhu Jinfeng had to use martial techniques to defeat her opponents and gain points.

The only person who relied solely on brute force without martial techniques was Niu Taijie.

But Niu Taijie's natural divine strength cost him intelligence; how could this ordinary-looking man have such enormous power?

Soon after, the second Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard appeared, with its body length increased to six meters and weight to two tons.

Boom~

Another extremely violent punch, the Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard didn't even make a sound before being sent flying out of the ring, turning into a streak of light and disappearing.

Huang Dengfeng and Gu Junchen's faces grew even darker, especially Gu Junchen, with his Wind Force mastery complementing Fire Mastery, he could feel Ye Qingzhou's terrifying power more clearly: "The fist technique seems simple yet contains an extremely sophisticated mastery."

"Is he the one who beat Miao Yi and became Linjiang First High School's team captain?"

"At least he has Great Success in Fire Technique cultivation, this person is intimidating, a formidable foe for us."

As the two were thinking about how to deal with Ye Qingzhou's terrible strength and technique if they met him in the arena later, Ye Qingzhou threw two more punches, still without using any martial techniques, sending two more Fire-Scaled Horned Lizards flying.

One with a body length of eight meters and weight of three tons.

One with a body length of ten meters and weight of four tons.

"Whoa, where did this fresh face come from?"

"He has equaled Niu Taijie and Zhu Jinfeng's scores."

"I recognize him, this year's sword fighting champion! But didn't he specialize in Wind Force? Why is he now playing with fire?"

Amidst the people's discussions, the ground trembled, and the fifth Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard fiercely took the stage.

Boom~

Its massive body leapt out of the sand sea, crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up a violent airwave.

Twelve meters long, weighing five tons, just a simple charge was enough to crush someone into dust.

Ye Qingzhou also felt the opponent's power: "It seems I need to get a bit serious."

First gear!

Purely using Fire Technique to stimulate Inner Breath, this was a first.

At this moment inside Ye Qingzhou, his dantian opened and closed like popping beans, as if a high-powered engine was running at full speed.

Soon, his inner breath began to tremble at high frequency, the sympathetic nerves at his tailbone seemed injected with energy, causing his muscles and bones to tremble together.

Rumbling~

Ye Qingzhou faintly heard the sound of waves in his mind, the rushing blood within him boiling, a large amount of oxygen being delivered to every corner of his body.

A terrifying power was budding, growing, and thriving within Ye Qingzhou.

Normally, martial techniques at the Inner Breath stage rarely affect the physique of Martial Artists, such as Red Lotus kind of mid-tier reinforcement techniques, which are extremely rare.

Only the Martial Arts True Qi refined by professional level Martial Artists can enhance the physique, granting extreme bursts.

Because even a martial genius finds it difficult to fully control oneself, the danger of Inner Breath exploding within the body is too high, so it can only be unleashed via martial techniques as a means of attack.

However, Ye Qingzhou had long achieved Innovative and Subtle mastery, perfectly controlling every ounce of strength in his body.

Therefore, he could open the first gear, obtaining combat power comparable to professional-level Martial Artists.

To describe it, Inner Breath is like a steam engine burning coal.

Ye Qingzhou refined the control of Inner Breath through the first gear, directly turning the steam engine into an internal combustion engine, greatly improving the efficiency and power output of Inner Breath.

As for Martial Arts True Qi, it's similar to transforming electric energy into mechanical energy with an electric motor, starting faster, responding more sensitively, however, for now, in terms of power output, it hasn't made a qualitative leap compared to Ye Qingzhou's first gear.

Roar~

The Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard leaped with its four legs; its massive body pounced like a colossal meat mountain, covering the sky, pressing down over Ye Qingzhou.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.

Among the crowd, Xu Yuebing quietly sweated for Ye Qingzhou.

However, Ye Qingzhou himself had an expression like calm water, his gaze steady and unwavering. As the Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard flew overhead, his fist finally struck out.

Fire Technique, Ascending Dragon!

Ye Qingzhou used his fist as a sword, his fist like a dragon's head, Fire's Inner Breath transformed into a crimson dragon body, spinning and heading directly for the target.

Fist Force tore through the air, roaring like an enraged dragon, like a cannonball, directly blowing the pouncing Fire-Scaled Horned Lizard out.
