Ye Qingzhou once again spoke astonishing words.

And as his words fell, the multicolored sword qi rose behind him like a peacock spreading its feathers.

The powerful life energy level, primordial qi energy level, and spiritual energy level all broke through to five digits, moving Montano and Aurora deeply.

The two finally realized that Ye Qingzhou was not joking, nor was he arrogant, but he truly possessed such strength and confidence.

"Life, primordial qi, and spirit, with no weaknesses at all—your martial dao foundation is so solid, it's unbelievable."

At this moment, Montano even suspected whether Ye Qingzhou was some old monster from the martial arts world who had regained his youth. How could an eighteen-year-old martial artist cultivate to such a realm?

Aurora was equally shocked by the cultivation that Ye Qingzhou displayed: "Are you really only eighteen years old?"

"Probably."

Ye Qingzhou didn't know how to explain it either. His peerless talent, coupled with past life accumulation and understanding, truly blossomed in the martial arts world of Blue Star, radiating dazzling brilliance.

Montano and Aurora exchanged a glance, and the two of them tacitly gripped their weapons.

This battle was unavoidable!

Whether for their own future martial paths or the mission and national destiny they carried, if they chose to avoid the fight today, all the glory would vanish.

"Come and fight!"

Amidst universal attention, the confrontation between the three grandmasters instantly attracted the eyes of the whole audience.

Ha~

Montano was the first to strike. As he drew his sword, the surrounding air rippled like viscous water, water sounds gurgling and rolling up thousands of waves!

The sword qi surged like tides, transforming into overwhelming waves sweeping forward.

Ye Qingzhou's eyes lit up, focusing intently on observing his opponent's way of exerting force and turning qi, further peering into the mysteries of "Wave Swordsmanship", in awe of the creator of this martial technique.

"From a single point to a whole area, moving one hair affects the whole body—truly an ingenious idea."

It could be seen Montano's great sword was subtly moving like a sailor's paddle, stirring ripples in the air, and these ripples collided and stacked like a falling line of dominoes, the 'vibration' accumulated increasingly and the waves surged ever more violently.

Undoubtedly, this was a martial technique that utilized potential energy to its extremity.

"Adding fuel to the fire, going along with the flow... so that's it."

In an instant, Ye Qingzhou fully grasped the core secret technique of "Wave Swordsmanship", capturing its spirit and forgetting its forms, absorbing its essence.

Clang~

Causally swinging his sword, Ye Qingzhou sliced through the surging torrent of sword qi, splitting it in two.

"How is that possible! Did you also learn 'Wave Swordsmanship'?"

Montano looked horrified as he personally witnessed Ye Qingzhou's sword edge cut through the most fragile point in his technique's structure, slicing through his sword qi technique as if cutting butter.

If not deeply familiar with "Wave Swordsmanship", how could anyone accomplish such a feat?

Clang~

No time to think it over, Montano drew his sword in front, narrowly blocking Ye Qingzhou's attack.

As the two swords clashed, the explosive power detonated a ring-shaped sword qi, slicing the podium beneath their feet in half and leaving a sword mark extending over a dozen meters.

The clash of peak grandmasters was truly terrifying!

A special podium engineered to withstand the duel of master-level martial artists was not much stronger than paper against Ye Qingzhou and Montano; even the aftershocks of their exchange were unbearable for the podium.

"Aurora!"

Montano hurriedly transmitted his thoughts.

In just a brief exchange, he felt chills down his spine and couldn't help calling for help from his "archenemy" Aurora.

Aurora looked reluctant: "Can't you even handle one sword strike?"

"Why don't you go up?"

"Hmph, useless man."

Considering their shared European heritage, Aurora didn't continue to mock Montano, decisively striking to assist, just to protect the dignity of the European Martial Arts World.

In an instant, a bitter north wind howled up, setting frost and snow swirling across the sky.

Not only on the podium, but this move covered a great range, enveloping an entire kilometer-radius area, causing an immediate drop in temperature that made many in the audience shiver.

"Why is it snowing?"

"It's so cold, did the temperature drop? The weather forecast didn't say anything..."

"No, this is the qi vibration of a grandmaster-level martial artist!"

"What? Can it have such an effect at such a distance?"

"Half a year ago, there was a rumor at the Winter Palace that Aurora was preparing to condense her mental imagery and ascend to Martial Saint. I thought it was just Slavs promoting hype, but they actually meant it!"

"Hiss~"

Numerous spectators gasped, shivering all over because it was truly freezing on the scene.

Given how the audience around them felt, Ye Qingzhou in the center of the cold wave naturally experienced this bone-penetrating chill and coldness even more acutely.

"One of the ultimate techniques of the Winter Palace Steel Heart Stream, 'Frosty Heaven and Snowy Earth', huh?"

Ye Qingzhou looked down, watching frost forming and spreading rapidly, covering his feet, crawling up his calves and thighs, and in the blink of an eye reaching his chest, seemingly about to freeze him entirely, leaving him at the mercy of others.

Clang~

At the same time, a biting sword qi accompanied by falling snowflakes, transforming into a white sword light filling the sky and earth, approached Ye Qingzhou.

This sword contained the annihilation intent of a severe winter.
