It’s not just that Chen Fei’s previous display of martial arts prowess was unmatched even at the early stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

It was the significant improvement in speed compared to over a year ago when he demonstrated his speed during the flag-snatching battle.

Back then, in the Haiyue Cave, Chen Fei’s speed in martial arts was not the worst among all, but it was close. Only Meng Heng, who had recently broken through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, had a speed that could match Chen Fei’s.

However, at that time, with the speed Chen Fei had just displayed, he had surpassed Mo Shiyi and Qin Haishan, who had been in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Second Tier for years, and had been even faster than Zhu Guannu.

This extra bit of speed had completely disrupted Zhu Guannu’s previous plans.

A slight smile had graced Chen Fei’s face, and the effect of his doppelganger had been evident, causing a substantial change in his martial arts speed.

When Chen Fei had cultivated the Primordial Profound Art to the Great Completion level, his martial arts speed had already improved significantly, and it had been considered quite impressive at the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Now, with the addition of the doppelganger, this change had been even more pronounced, which had surprised everyone.

Furthermore, as Chen Fei had continued to cultivate the newly integrated Light Slicing Shadow Sword to Great Completion, his martial arts speed had continued to increase, approaching the level of the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, where no one could catch up.

Qin Haishan and the others exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a hint of joy.

In the past, Chen Fei had indeed been lacking in terms of martial arts, but now that this weakness had been addressed, his overall combat power had clearly taken a step forward.

In contrast to the joy on Qin Haishan’s group’s faces, Mo Shiyi and his companions wore furrowed brows. Being at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they understood the importance of martial arts.

What made it even more crucial was that Zhu Guannu currently possessed the power of the Profound Yuan Pearl within him. This power was formidable but came with significant limitations.

Bi Zhongxun watched Chen Fei in the midst of the battlefield, his eyes filled with surprise. Chen Fei continued to deliver one surprise after another.

It would be understandable if he had broken through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm after many years of cultivation, like Zhu Guannu. But Chen Fei had reached this level without even three years of breakthrough cultivation.

Achieving such excellence in martial arts at this stage was rare, even among the geniuses of major factions.

Of course, the geniuses of major factions tended to grow stronger over time, as the techniques they cultivated were inherently difficult to comprehend.

However, once they did succeed in comprehending these techniques, their future cultivation progress and combat prowess would surpass that of ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators by a significant margin.

This difference in starting points was something that had already been predetermined.

Unless Chen Fei could continue to cultivate and achieve a higher level of attainment while obtaining a top-notch Combined Aperture Tempering realm technique in the future, only then could he change this current situation.

Inside the Blood Battle Arena,

Zhu Guannu’s momentarily slowed-down figure had returned to normal, and he continued to charge towards Chen Fei. However, soon he realized that there was indeed a difference in their martial arts speed.

This difference was not very pronounced, and it wouldn’t have a significant impact in actual combat.

But if one side was chasing while the other was evading, the distance between them could not be closed in a short time.

Even though the Blood Battle Arena wasn’t large, the one who was evading would still be trapped in a specific area and forced to engage in battle eventually, but that would take time. Unfortunately, Zhu Guannu was currently running out of time.

The power of the Profound Yuan Pearl dissipated more and more with the passage of time.

After all, the Profound Yuan Pearl was no longer within Zhu Guannu’s body, and relying solely on his own body to bear this power made it unsustainable. In just a brief moment, the power of the Profound Yuan Pearl had already diminished by twenty percent.

“I remember, this Blood Battle was provoked by you, right?”

Zhu Guannu looked at Chen Fei in the distance and shouted in a deep voice, his loud voice echoing throughout the entire Blood Battle Arena.

“Yes, but I didn’t expect there would be a willing scapegoat jumping in.” Chen Fei chuckled softly upon hearing Zhu Guannu’s words.

“Such arrogance!”

Zhu Guannu sneered, staring at Chen Fei and said, “You call me a scapegoat, but who’s the one running for their life now?”

“Charging straight ahead like this before the power of the Profound Yuan Pearl is depleted, is that not foolish?” Chen Fei shook his head.

Zhu Guannu gritted his teeth, the sound of his teeth grinding together was harsh. It was evident that mere words wouldn’t make Chen Fei stop.

During the brief exchange just now, the power of the Profound Yuan Pearl had already dissipated by more than thirty percent, and as time passed, this dissipation would only accelerate.

If Zhu Guannu forcibly retained this power, it would ultimately end up injuring himself, which was not worth it.

However, allowing the power of the Profound Yuan Pearl to dissipate so meaninglessly left Zhu Guannu feeling somewhat unwilling.

From the moment Chen Fei entered the arena until now, he had already presented several surprises. The information Zhu Guannu had obtained from Mo Shiyi had seriously deviated.

Zhu Guannu no longer approached Chen Fei with the same confidence as before. This Blood Battle was no longer as easy as he had anticipated.

In such a situation, Zhu Guannu was even less willing to waste the power of the Profound Yuan Pearl.

At the very least, with the current power of the Profound Yuan Pearl, as long as he hit Chen Fei, Zhu Guannu was confident he could severely injure him.

Zhu Guannu looked at Chen Fei coldly, and his right hand reached for the Qiankun Bag at his waist. A mid-grade elemental stone appeared in Zhu Guannu’s hand in the next moment. Then, Zhu Guannu directly stuffed the mid-grade elemental stone into his mouth.

“Crunch, crunch, crunch!”

The sound of teeth colliding with the elemental stone echoed as Zhu Guannu seemed to be chewing on food, forcibly breaking the mid-grade elemental stone and swallowing it into his stomach.

Outside the Blood Battle Arena, everyone watched this scene in astonishment.

Elemental stones contained pure elemental energy and were commonly used for cultivation. However, during cultivation, one typically absorbed and refined the elemental energy directly. It was rare to see someone swallow an elemental stone like this.

There were indeed martial artists who had done so in the past, but they ended up with their internal organs severely damaged by the violent elemental energy within the stone. It not only provided no benefit to their cultivation but also caused harm.

All harm and no benefit!

Inside the Blood Battle Arena, after Zhu Guannu swallowed the elemental stone, his body expanded slightly, and an astonishing heat radiated from his surface.

Zhu Guannu formed hand seals, and in the next moment, his entire body suddenly accelerated, closing the distance between him and Chen Fei at an incredible speed.

Zhu Guannu’s cheeks were now crimson, and veins bulged on his face, making him look extremely ferocious.

“Running away? Let’s see how you escape now!” Zhu Guannu stared at Chen Fei, a wicked smile curling on his lips.

Chen Fei observed Zhu Guannu with a faintly changing expression. Zhu Guannu’s current state was somewhat similar to martial artists who unleashed forbidden techniques when they were in desperate situations, but there were significant differences.

When forbidden techniques were unleashed, one could clearly sense the violent and uncontrollable aura. However, Zhu Guannu, despite his heightened aura, remained in control.

Chen Fei had initially halted his escape in mid-air, as Zhu Guannu’s current speed in the Blood Battle Arena environment made it easy for him to be intercepted.

Unless Chen Fei forcefully activated a forbidden technique, the Primordial Profound Art had records related to this, but he had no intention of using it.

His advantage in speed earlier had been due to the unexpected result of his doppelganger.

Before he had the doppelganger, Chen Fei’s martial arts were not exceptional, but he still dared to challenge because he had the confidence to handle the Profound Yuan Pearl issue even without a speed advantage.

Seeing Chen Fei come to a halt, Zhu Guannu’s wicked smile intensified. He had initially thought it would take some time to trap Chen Fei in a specific area, forcing him into combat.

Now that Chen Fei wasn’t evading, it was even better.

The blade in Zhu Guannu’s hand began to tremble slightly, gathering a mighty power within. With the combination of the Profound Yuan Pearl and his own strength, this move was sure to be earth-shattering.

Outside the Blood Battle Arena, Qin Haishan and the others watched with a serious expression, their hearts slightly tensed. They didn’t know how Chen Fei would respond to this attack.

A faint smile appeared on Mo Shiyi’s face, feeling fortunate that they had found Zhu Guannu to replace them in this Blood Battle.

If it had been anyone else facing Chen Fei’s earlier martial arts display, they would have been at a disadvantage. The main reason was that no one could have expected Chen Fei to undergo such a significant transformation in just over a year.

For the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, one year was indeed very short, often resulting in little to no progress in cultivation, which was quite common.

Yet, here was Chen Fei, whose strength had improved dramatically. It was as if the two sides existed in different time dimensions, with Chen Fei having advanced several years or even a decade ahead.

Bi Zhongxun also watched the scene seriously. He was curious about how Chen Fei would respond—whether he would be forced into a desperate situation and had no choice but to engage or if he would reveal some unexpected changes.

Inside the Blood Battle Arena, Zhu Guannu’s figure was now less than half a mile away from Chen Fei. For the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, pulling back the distance at this point was not easy, and they were already in the position where actual combat was about to begin.

The blade in Zhu Guannu’s hand was raised slightly, and his eyes were fixed firmly on Chen Fei, observing his every move.

Chen Fei appeared unusually calm at this moment, which made Zhu Guannu somewhat uncertain. However, at this point, Zhu Guannu didn’t care about Chen Fei’s intentions. He was ready to strike with a single powerful blow.

In an instant, Zhu Guannu was less than a hundred meters away from Chen Fei. A thick aura filled the surroundings, and Zhu Guannu’s focus was entirely on locking onto Chen Fei.

At this point, the coldness in Zhu Guannu’s eyes was almost unbearable. He believed that there was no room for Chen Fei to evade this strike, and it was certain to hit!

Chen Fei raised his eyes slightly, locking gazes with Zhu Guannu. In the next moment, ripples appeared in the space, and over a dozen sword lights silently swept through. In the blink of an eye, they had reached Zhu Guannu’s face.

It was the “Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword”!

Zhu Guannu’s eyebrows twitched, sensing the incoming sword lights. A wicked smile crept across his lips. He had expected Chen Fei’s next move to be some sort of mental technique.

Now that he understood Chen Fei’s follow-up move, Zhu Guannu felt even more confident.

“Hum!”

The blade elemental energy throughout Zhu Guannu’s body suddenly surged, and all the incoming sword lights were twisted. Nearly eighty percent of the sword lights were shattered directly, and the remaining ones were mostly worn down before entering Zhu Guannu’s sea of consciousness.

Within Zhu Guannu’s chest, a jade pendant radiated a faint light..
