Even those outside the arena could clearly feel a great and fierce pressure bearing down upon them. At this moment, Nangong Qi's aura was sharp, completely different from the calmness he had displayed by the quiet lakeside before the battle. If Nangong Qi's pre-battle calmness could be described as demure and dignified like a maiden, then, upon entering the battle, his aura became the opposite of what it was before.

The crowd below the stage buzzed with excitement... Many disciples of the Nangong Family were also intimidated by Qi's mental pressure.

Looking at Nangong Qi's suddenly golden pupils, many peripheral members of the Nangong Family were also secretly surprised, "Qi'er sister actually used the Flashing Golden Eye? My God, Goodness, big sister really isn't holding back, is she?" A young girl who did not appear to be very old exclaimed in astonishment.

"Kid, is this move very powerful?" Feng Yi asked as he saw the opportunity, feeling a terrifying pressure facing him. Although the pressure was strong, it was not violent but rather was slowly increasing in assertiveness.

"Of course, of course, the Flashing Golden Eye is a unique skill of our Nangong Family, and sister is both talented and beautiful with Mr. Hong Fei. Why would she use such a powerful move?" The little girl was secretly anxious, worrying for Hong Fei. Although she liked her sister, she also very much liked Hong Fei, even though this was the first time they had met. She was attracted by Hong Fei's gentle and easygoing manner, which perfectly demonstrated his elegant demeanor. How wonderful would it be to be with such a handsome young man?

Feng Yi, propping his chin, scrutinized the situation for a moment and had to admit that such pressure was somewhat of a concern.

At the same time, elders from many ancient schools fixed their eyes on the two contenders. Was this the Flashing Golden Eye of the Nangong Family that they had heard so much about—no, this did not seem to be the typical Flashing Golden Eye. The overwhelming aura was so different from what people usually spoke of; could this be...

The Nangong Family patriarch looked on with a fluctuating sense of shock and uncertainty... It seemed there was no mistake, Qi had unexpectedly mastered this move, but how had he never noticed before?

The Nangong Family patriarch was both surprised and delighted at this time. Although this skill was already the Nangong Family's strongest, with various types, the patriarch did not intervene to confirm, allowing Nangong Qi to unleash the technique.

Feeling the heavy pressure bearing down, Hong Fei was far from relaxed, his body as though enveloped entirely by a heavy and invisible force. In fact, if it were just the Flashing Golden Eye, that would be one thing, but he was also on guard for other unpredictable moves. For a moment, under the mental pressure, Hong Fei felt somewhat dizzy...

Looking at the unmoving Nangong Qi, Hong Fei unexpectedly had a bad premonition. Since the time left for the opponent was only ten seconds, and Nangong Qi had not moved, did this mean that he was already trapped in an Illusion Technique? If so, then everything he saw, heard, and perceived could be illusions - including time, which could also be an illusion created by the opponent.

Observing his surroundings, Hong Fei was shocked to find that everyone around had vanished, leaving only himself. Even Nangong Qi herself had disappeared in the instant he had glanced around, as if she had never been in that position to begin with.

With his mind shaken, Hong Fei was almost certain he was still within an Illusion Technique. Anyone caught in it would feel a peculiar Brain Domain pressure, meaning the perceived flow of time was different from actual time.

Never mind ten seconds, it had already been a minute, but Hong Fei could only feel trapped in a sphere of time, unable to escape—suddenly, a terrifying name came to mind—Flashing Time Golden Eye, the so-called ultimatel awakening skill of the Nangong Family built upon the Flashing Golden Eye, a skill he had only heard a little about. He deduced from the name it might have something to do with time.

Of course, the space he occupied might not be real. Such cases were not uncommon; for instance, have you ever felt trapped in a particularly uncomfortable nightmare for a long time, only to wake up and realize it was only a few minutes?

Or have you ever woken up without having dreamt until daylight, a situation most people commonly encounter? The Flashing Time Golden Eye seemed to share a similar essence with such experiences.

What made it different was that he was awake at the moment, whereas in dreams you would be in a hazy state of semi-consciousness. Realizing this, Hong Fei felt a little less apprehensive.

Since he knew the root of the problem, resolving it might not be difficult. With this in mind, Hong Fei tried to lift his foot to move, tap tap tap tap... rhythmic footsteps echoed from the ground, from which any expert could tell that he was a formidable character.

Hong Fei could clearly feel the sensation of his footsteps on the ground, but it was of no use; he seemed to be fixed within this dark chaos, completely losing his bearings… How could this be?

A dream, a nightmare? Ordinarily, Hong Fei might indeed think he was dreaming, but now was the time for battle. A master's focus before a fight is extremely high, and it's impossible to daydream; even a powerful hypnosis would hardly interfere substantially with a highly concentrated master's mental power.
