In the Heavenly Pit, Xiao Ye’s dark eyes burst forth with waves of Divine Light, followed by a long roar, as he soared skyward like a Roc.

Hua-la-la!

The splashes of water soon calmed down.

The last genius in the Heavenly Pit also completed the True Martial Baptism just as the ten-day period stipulated by the True Martial Baptism reached its end.

Beneath the steaming Emperor Martial Power, Xiao Ye’s long hair and robe were completely dried. He looked calmly at the many geniuses before him.

At this moment, Xiao Ye’s skin was as smooth and flawless as a newborn baby, exuding an ethereal glow, standing there without releasing any aura.

This moment, silence enveloped the realm as varied gazes fell upon Xiao Ye.

"Brother Xiao Ye!" Guo An’an looked at Xiao Ye, slightly dazed.

She could sense the distinct change in Xiao Ye, but upon closer inspection, found it elusive and unfathomable.

"Hehe, Xiao Ye, you waited until the last moment to complete the True Martial Baptism, surely your harvest was great? Why not unleash your True Martial Physique for us to witness?"

"After all, you are a genius who received the Iron Blood Challenge, your True Martial Physique must be stronger than ours!" At this time, Xu Fei flew over to Xu Teng’s side, mockingly said.

"Hahaha, Brother Xu Fei, maybe he ended the True Martial Baptism at the last moment because the harvest was too small, afraid of being mocked and trying hard until the last second?"

"Exactly, Brother Xu Fei, not everyone can have gains like ours."

...

Xu Fei’s words fell, and immediately young men and women from the East State cooperated to laugh derisively.

They had long disliked Xiao Ye, and now with Xu Teng present, they naturally wouldn’t miss a chance to ridicule Xiao Ye.

Xu Teng didn’t speak; he stood with hands behind his back, staring at Xiao Ye, with three-fifths of the True Martial Physique exploding out, seemingly transformed to a Divine Being, causing the realm to tremble, resonating with Martial Arts, with an unrivaled War Intent rushing skyward, targeting Xiao Ye!

"Xiao Ye, our duel with you hasn’t decided a true victor. Now we’ve all acquired the True Martial Physique, how about a battle?"

The Azure Dragon Four Brothers, their expressions were filled with mockery, stared at Xiao Ye.

As for the other geniuses, they too showed eagerness.

It seemed at this moment, Xiao Ye became an enemy to all geniuses, a tense atmosphere swept through.

"So you think my True Martial Physique is inferior, thus you all want to step on me?"

Yet faced with the War Intent of these geniuses, Xiao Ye appeared indifferent, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, like a lone figure confronting the entire realm, standing tall like a spear.

Guo An’an nervously clenched her fists, her palms sweating.

If so many geniuses attacked Xiao Ye together, she couldn’t help him.

"Alright, everyone stop."

"After the True Martial Baptism ends, no genius is allowed to linger here; you must leave immediately, the exit is where you descended."

"Moreover, you just acquired the True Martial Physique; you must quickly adapt, master the True Martial Physique, perfectly integrate with your Physical Body, fighting now is unwise and harmful."

"Of course, this is just my advice. You may choose not to listen, step outside and duel as you wish."

In this tense moment, a middle-aged man flew out from the ten Martial Artists of East State who had been silently observing.

He was tall, clean-shaven, and spoke authoritatively.

Instantly—

Xu Teng and the Azure Dragon Four Brothers all slightly trembled, then withdrew their gaze.

Actually, without this middle-aged man’s reminder, they too sensed their condition.

"Xiao Ye, you no longer qualify for the Iron Blood Challenge."

"Once I master my current True Martial Physique, I will personally kill you, even if you flee back to West State it will be futile. After defeating the Azure Dragon Four Brothers, I’ll replace you at Unrivaled Peak." Xu Teng coldly glanced at Xiao Ye, turned and flew toward the exit of this sealed space.

"Xu Teng, you’re too arrogant; Xiao Ye is the prey of our Four Brothers, we won’t let you steal a march."

"Once we solidify our True Martial Physique, even you shall be hunted!"

The Azure Dragon gazed at Xu Teng’s back, face darkened, muttered, and then left with his three brothers.

Seeing the five most powerful people temporarily let Xiao Ye go, other geniuses exchanged glances, disappointed, and followed suit.

"A bunch of fools, An’an, let’s leave as well."

Xiao Ye shook his head, flew toward Guo An’an who obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas, if Xiao Ye falls like this, it would be too regrettable. I hope he can escape this calamity."

As all geniuses flew toward the exit, that middle-aged Martial Artist who stopped Xu Teng and the Azure Dragon Four Brothers sighed.

In fact, he felt sorry for Xiao Ye.

Clearly someone with infinite potential, a genius capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Iron Blood, now due to low True Martial Physique inheritance, about to fade away among the masses, isn’t it a pity?

Before leaving, his gaze scanned the Heavenly Pit from the True Martial Baptism, discovering the surface of the mysterious liquid inside had dropped significantly, and his body trembled, as if struck by lightning.

"What...what is this?"

"True Martial Baptism energy consumed so much? How is this possible, it’s unprecedented in the history of True Martial Baptism!"

This middle-aged martial artist’s discovery caught the attention of the other nine martial artists who flew over to see, and were also stunned.

According to their estimation, among the fifty geniuses in this True Martial Baptism, even with anomalies like Azure Dragon and Xu Teng achieving three-fifths of the True Martial Physique, alongside others, at most would consume a small portion.

After all, True Martial Baptism energy still had some left from its inheritance to this era.

But now, the consumed True Martial Baptism energy exceeded their anticipated double!

That’s double, an astonishing figure!

This suggests one possibility—that among these fifty geniuses, there emerged one with a True Martial Physique more terrifying than the Azure Dragon Four Brothers and Xu Teng!

Who could it be?

The ten martial artists exchanged glances, faces shocked, silent for a long time.
