Before, when Tang Yi had gone to rescue those candidates, he had moved so fast that the naked eye couldn’t follow. Because of this, no one knew he was the one responsible.
But now, as Tang Yi stood on the gangplank unleashing his Divine Power and explosive, astonishing strength, people connected the dots. They finally understood that Tang Yi had been behind it all.
Aside from their shock, all the candidates who didn’t recognize Tang Yi had one question on their minds.
’Who is this candidate?’
As for those who did know Tang Yi, they were simply stunned. Waves of shock crashed over them, each one stronger than the last.
This included the candidates from Fengyue City and Wind Rain City, as well as Bai Ye, Mu Xianling, and many others.
They were utterly astounded that Tang Yi possessed such immense power.
Now, they too had a single question in their hearts.
’Tang Yi... why is he so powerful?’
DING!
"Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, you have advanced. Current Level: One-Star Battle King."
After slaughtering a huge number of masked Martial Artists, Tang Yi was finally enveloped in a flash of golden light. A glowing halo appeared at his feet—he had leveled up.
His Level had finally risen from Battle King to One-Star Battle King, his power taking another step forward.
With this increase in power, the Shadow Remnant Sword in Tang Yi’s hand became even more savage. With every swing, terrifying gusts of wind swept across the bridge. Countless masked Martial Artists fell before the Shadow Remnant Sword, their souls sent from the mortal world.
Facing this one-sided slaughter, the masked Martial Artists began to feel fear. They stood at the far end of the gangplank, not daring to take another step forward.
They were terrified. The boy who looked like a candidate before them was simply too horrifying.
’How could such a young Martial Artist possess such immense power?’
Anyone would fear death, and these masked Martial Artists were no exception.
SWOOSH!
In the sky, a Battle King Warrior from the Skeleton Warship noticed the situation on the gangplank. He turned and flew in their direction.
The Skeleton Warship had more Battle Kings than the West Mansion. So, even with one-on-one matchups, they still had a considerable number of Battle King Warriors acting as a mobile strike force, flying wherever they were needed.
And right now, this Battle King Warrior was flying toward the gangplank.
For a powerhouse of the Battle King Level to join the fray on the gangplank was a cause for despair. The West Mansion had no one available to deal with him.
Every Chief Examiner with the strength of a Battle King was already in the sky, fighting off a superior number of opponents. The Chief Examiners could barely fend for themselves, let alone deal with a Battle King Warrior flying toward the gangplank.
As for Elder Lu, a Battle Emperor Powerhouse, he was out of the question. He was currently locked in a stalemate with the Skeleton Warship’s Battle Emperor, and it seemed their fight wouldn’t be decided anytime soon.
Therefore, with a Battle King Warrior heading for the gangplank, the West Mansion’s top-tier experts were completely unable to intervene.
And a Battle King facing off against Battle Spirits was like a tiger let loose among sheep. The slaughter would be effortless.
Without Tang Yi, the arrival of a single Battle King Warrior would have likely caused the situation on the gangplank to collapse in an instant.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world. Besides, if Tang Yi hadn’t been there, perhaps this Battle King Warrior wouldn’t have come over in the first place.
Right now, the Battle King Warrior flying toward the gangplank was extremely puzzled. He couldn’t figure out what was wrong with those Battle Spirit-level masked Martial Artists. After all this time, they still hadn’t breached the Warship’s interior and were just lingering on the gangplank.
Moreover, a single candidate was blocking the gangplank, and the masked Martial Artists didn’t dare to advance, every one of them wearing a fearful expression.
’What’s going on?’
’Afraid of a West Mansion candidate?’
’He’s not even a student of the Outer Courtyard, just a mere candidate.’
The Battle King Warrior hadn’t seen Tang Yi’s display of Divine Power. So, while internally cursing the masked Martial Artists for being useless, he stared intently at Tang Yi on the gangplank. He wanted to see what was so special about this boy that he could single-handedly block the attacks of countless masked Martial Artists and frighten them into retreat.
But no matter how the Battle King Warrior from the Skeleton Warship looked, he couldn’t see anything extraordinary about Tang Yi. He looked perfectly average. Aside from appearing a little more confident and carrying himself with a bit more flair, he was no different from any other West Mansion candidate.
’If I can’t see anything special, then there’s no need to keep looking.’
The Battle King Warrior flew straight toward Tang Yi.
’Since this candidate is blocking the masked Martial Artists’ advance, I just need to eliminate him,’ the Battle King Warrior thought. ’It’s that simple.’
SWISH.
The Battle King Warrior shot toward Tang Yi at an incredible speed.
Tang Yi tilted his head up slightly and saw the Battle King Warrior from the Skeleton Warship flying over. However, even when facing a Battle King Warrior, his expression showed no trace of anxiety. Perfectly calm, he flicked his left wrist, and three Wind Blades instantly formed in his hand.
"Gale Blade!"
WHOOSH!
Tang Yi unleashed one of the applications of his Gale Blade—Multiple Wind Blades. Three Wind Blades flew toward the airborne Battle King Warrior in a triangular formation.
"Hm?"
Seeing the candidate before him dare to take the initiative and attack, the Battle King Warrior was stunned for a moment before continuing his charge, unconcerned.
With a clench of his fist, three throwing knives appeared in his hand, which he then casually flung forward.
’It’s just an attack from a mere candidate,’ the Battle King Warrior thought. ’I can shatter it with a flick of my wrist. These three throwing knives will definitely nullify his Wind Blades, and they might even kill him outright.’
However, events did not unfold as the Battle King Warrior had anticipated.
The moment the three throwing knives made contact with the Wind Blades, they shattered into countless fragments with a sharp CLANG. The three Wind Blades, however, maintained their original speed and power, continuing their assault.
"Impossible!"
The Battle King Warrior was startled, scarcely able to believe what he was seeing.
The Battle King Warrior knew the power of his throwing knives perfectly well. While they couldn’t kill a Battle King of the same Level, they were more than enough to handle an ordinary Battle Spirit.
Using them to counter an attack from a mere candidate was utter overkill. The outcome should have been predictable: a complete rout.
And yet, in the end, it was his three throwing knives that had been shattered!
The result was the complete opposite of what he’d expected!
’How is this possible?!’
This caused the Battle King Warrior from the Skeleton Warship to pale in fright. He scrambled to dodge, not believing for a second that his body was tougher than those throwing knives.
However, just as the Battle King Warrior dodged, the three Wind Blades moved as well. They curved through the air, continuing to home in on him.
"Ah!"
"No!"
And finally...
SLICE!
The three triangular Wind Blades sliced straight through the Battle King Powerhouse’s body, dismembering him into several pieces.
