The first battle was simply too bizarre.

The two sides didn't even exchange blows, and the big man's knife suddenly went "crazy," wildly striking its own master.

Meanwhile, Tang Tian remained calm, sitting there enjoying the sight of the big man being whipped around, in pain and howling.

What on earth is going on?

"Tang Tian's understanding of the Way of the Knife has reached a state of perfection," the elder said slowly.

As true experts, they naturally could see what was happening.

After the big man said those words, Tang Tian directly took control of the mountain-splitting knife. This was purely a difference in understanding of the Way, as the owner of the big knife didn't even notice.

It was truly a blow to their expectations.

"Do any of your disciples of the same age reach this level?" the elder looked towards the Elder Council.

The elders lowered their heads. If they really had such disciples, they would have already been praised to the heavens.

They had thought that Tang Tian would win, but they never expected it to be in this way.

"Hehe, to reach such a level in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, even in the Heavenly Capital, he would be considered an elite," someone said.

"Such a world-shaking genius, and he became an honorary disciple. This management... tsk tsk tsk," Chi Yuan sat on the side, cracking melon seeds and speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Yun Kong kept his eyes on his nose and mouth, while the elder glanced at him without saying a word.

At this moment, the battle on the arena below had already reached a "white-hot" state.

The mountain-splitting knife became even more frenzied, changing from whipping to slashing.

The knife's aura was sharp and rampant, forcing the big man into a state of panic, on the verge of collapse.

But those with real strength could see that Tang Tian had no intention of injuring the big man, not even the intention of defeating him. The seemingly fierce and terrifying knife aura actually had a very precise pattern.

In other words, it was a way of teaching.

"He's really giving a lesson," someone exclaimed.

And that was indeed the case.

Tang Tian had no grudges or grievances with these people, so there was no need to exterminate them all.

Although this big man's strength was average and his temperament was impulsive, the fact that he was the first to come up and challenge showed that he still had courage.

With some cultivation in the future, he could also become a good talent.

Sometimes, a little tolerance is not a bad thing.

Tang Tian continued to manipulate the mountain-splitting knife, and his attacks became even more fierce.

Finally, after exhausting the big man, he heavily placed the mountain-splitting knife next to him.

The elders outside announced the result of the first challenge.

"Tang Tian, victory!"

The disciples watching the battle remained silent for a long time. The way Tang Tian won this battle was truly beyond their expectations.

The big man was covered in sweat.

Gasping for breath, he struggled to get up from the ground.

In fact, after the initial panic, by the middle stage, he had already vaguely understood that the gap between himself and Tang Tian's strength was unimaginable.

He also felt that Tang Tian was using this opportunity to guide him in knife techniques.

With a complex gaze, the big man bowed to Tang Tian, thanked him, and jumped off the arena.

"Tang Tian, do you continue to challenge?" the elder presiding over the arena asked.

Tang Tian nodded, "Of course."

"I will sit here until no one dares to challenge me anymore."

His domineering tone once again stirred up the emotions of the crowd.

"Let me do it!"

A calm and composed young man stepped onto the arena.

His appearance immediately caused a stir.

"It's Yu Haomiao from the Northern Peak!"

"He closed up for a long time, trying to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Although he ultimately failed, he was only one step away."

"And his methods are extremely strong. Even though he's only at the peak of the Gold Core stage, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dare to underestimate him!"

"This is going to be interesting!"

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Feeling the gaze of the crowd, Yu Haomiao looked at Tang Tian and smiled lightly, "I haven't heard of your name before I closed up."

Tang Tian looked at him calmly, "Have you heard of Sun Wukong?"

Yu Haomiao was taken aback, "Who is that?"

Tang Tian said, "A fierce person who has studied Daoism for several years and dares to break into the Heavenly Court."

"So, don't think highly of yourself all the time, as if you know everything. There are many people you haven't heard of," Tang Tian continued.

Yu Haomiao's face immediately darkened, "Do you think I'm the same kind of person as those losers just now?"

Tang Tian sighed, realizing that this guy must be a typical "arrogant genius."

"Stop talking nonsense," Tang Tian said.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight," he added.

Yu Haomiao's face turned completely serious. Since he entered the Qingyue Gate, no one had dared to disrespect and ignore him like this.

"Then be prepared!" Yu Haomiao declared.

With that, his aura as a Gold Core stage cultivator erupted.

Yu Haomiao pointed to the sky, and instantly dark clouds gathered, accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder.

The entire arena seemed to be filled with invisible electric currents.

Immediately after, dozens of thunderbolts descended from the sky, surrounding Tang Tian. The crackling sound sent chills down people's spines.

"Xuanlei Formation!"

"This is Yu Haomiao's killer move. He's using it right from the start!"

"It seems like he's really angry."

"Why is Tang Tian still sitting there? Once the Xuanlei Formation is formed, its power will double. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to escape!"

People nervously discussed.

Yu Haomiao looked at Tang Tian, who was still sitting there, and couldn't help but sneer.

"You're too arrogant. You dare to look at my subordinate's Xuanlei Formation."

"Your arrogance will be the main cause of your failure!" Yu Haomiao said coldly.

Tang Tian didn't even glance at him.

"There's too much nonsense. If it were a real fight, you would have been chopped into pieces by now."

Seeing that Tang Tian was ignoring him, Yu Haomiao became even angrier. He spread his arms wide, fully displaying his power.

"I won't hold back!"

"Attack!"

With his roar, dozens of thunderbolts exploded wildly, quickly transforming into thick black bars, forming a black prison that enveloped Tang Tian.

Then, all the thunderbolts began to rotate and converge towards Tang Tian.

The intertwining electric currents made the spectators feel a terrifying power.

"He's really strong!"

"Doesn't Tang Tian have any reaction?"

"If this continues, it will definitely be too late!"

People's hearts were on edge.

As they watched the thunder prison shrinking, enclosing Tang Tian completely, a cold smile appeared on Yu Haomiao's face.

"It's too late!"

"Even if you're in the late stage of Nascent Soul, you won't be able to escape from this thunder formation!"

He increased his spiritual power once again, causing his robe to billow.

Soon, the thunder prison reached its limit.

However, what no one expected was that even at its limit, the prison continued to shrink.

In an instant, Tang Tian's body slowly appeared, and the previously house-sized black prison had shrunk into a small black ball, rotating slowly in his palm.

Throughout the whole process, Tang Tian didn't even change his posture.

Yu Haomiao: ???

The disciples: !!!

"Your thunder technique is impressive," Tang Tian said with a slight smile, "but it still needs improvement."

After speaking, he gently raised his hand.

The black ball in his palm flew out, rapidly expanding as soon as it left Tang Tian's hand, instantly enveloping the entire arena.

Over a hundred thick black thunderbolts, like roaring beasts, emitted countless black lightning sparks.

The entire arena turned into a larger and more terrifying Xuanlei Formation.

Standing on the high platform, Yun Kong couldn't help but exclaim, "His thunder technique is also so exquisite."

"It looks like the real lesson is about to begin."
