Chapter 208 – Boss! Peak Level!

But how could this be possible?

Aside from the four Peak Tier individuals, there was actually another Peak Tier in this Nanming Province Federation Grand Examination??

An eighteenth-level storm!

This was absolutely major news across the entire Nanming Province!

On the battlefield, the hundred thousand examinees of Ghost Mountain City were sent flying.

Within the storm, Xu Xingchen, Shangguan Jianyun, Guyue Xian… and a few others struggled to steady themselves, all looking with disbelief toward the center of the storm.

They gazed at the figure in white robes, who had firmly intercepted Xu Xiao’s palm strike.

“Boss~! Pea… Peak Tier!” At this moment, Xu Xingchen felt goosebumps all over.

“Ye Sheng!” Shangguan Jianyun and Guyue Xian were stunned!

Ye Sheng was actually Peak Tier!

He had blocked Xu Xiao!

“The Faction Lord?!” After steadying themselves, the hundred thousand examinees of the Ghost Mountain City Faction all looked toward their Faction Lord! They never expected their Faction Lord to also be a Peak Tier!

“How could this be?”

The entire battlefield fell silent, countless eyes turning toward this side.

The millions of fleeing people stopped in their tracks, looking back in disbelief.

Someone had actually blocked Xu Xiao!

Even more terrifying was that the one who blocked Xu Xiao was also a Peak Tier!

While many were stunned, they cursed inwardly. Was there even any room for others to survive? Just how many Peak Tier individuals were there in this Federation Grand Examination?

Weren’t four already enough? And now another one had appeared!

Especially among the High-Tier Giants, many harbored secret resentment. How were they supposed to compete now? Originally, they were the main characters, but now this Grand Examination had become a battle of Peak Tiers—what place was left for them?

The remaining four High-Tier Giants of the Southeast District were dumbfounded.

There had actually been a Peak Tier hidden in their district, right beside them.

Some from the Southeast District even regretted it to the point of beating their chests in frustration.

Back then, the Ghost Mountain City Faction had only a hundred thousand members, and no one chose it. At that time, they had mocked it, saying it might as well disband. But now, looking back, they were the biggest fools.

They had not chosen the Peak Tier faction but had instead sided with the Seven Giants of the Southeast District.

“How could this be?”

On the battlefield, Tang Hongyi, severely injured, looked with confusion at Ye Sheng, who was confronting the Peak Tier Xu Xiao.

Knowing full well what it took to become Peak Tier, she felt even more bewildered!

Tang Hongyi stared at Ye Sheng, “How did he manage it?!”

…

All of this… happened in the blink of an eye.

Xu Xiao’s eyes narrowed sharply as he looked at Ye Sheng, who had blocked his strike. “How is this possible?”

For a rare moment, his expression turned dazed!

He knew perfectly well that there were only four Peak Tier individuals in the entire Nanming Province.

He also knew how those four had become Peak Tier.

Aside from them, there should be no other Peak Tier in this Nanming Province Grand Examination—that was what he had always believed.

But now, another one had appeared out of thin air??

Xu Xiao felt as if he had seen a ghost.

“Who are you? Which family do you belong to?” Xu Xiao snarled, the calm and composed expression on his face vanishing. He suspected Ye Sheng was a descendant of some hidden aristocratic family; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach Peak Tier.

Only this could explain the doubts in his mind.

As he spoke, Xu Xiao struck out with another palm.

This palm strike was powerful and heavy!

At the same time, Xu Xiao activated his Breathing Technique. In an instant, a surging crimson Aura Radiance erupted from his body, resembling a red sun suspended high in the sky, striking fear into all who saw it!

At this moment, Xu Xiao finally unleashed his full power. Previously, slaughtering those High-Tier Giants had merely been a game, not even worthy of making him activate his Breathing Technique.

Ye Sheng steadily caught his palm strike, also activating his Breathing Technique. An identical crimson Aura Radiance emanated, transforming into a dazzling crimson sun.

Peak Tier!

Ye Sheng’s Combat Power was instantly confirmed, silencing those who still harbored doubts. One by one, they fell silent.

“Just an ordinary person!” Ye Sheng said calmly, exchanging blows with Xu Xiao. The two were evenly matched.

Yet, to outsiders, this scene nearly made their jaws drop.

High in the sky, two crimson suns clashed.

Their palms struck at each other relentlessly, neither holding back, both intent on killing the other.

Each strike seemed devoid of visible energy, yet after every blow, all surrounding matter would silently turn to dust.

As the two fought fiercely, the border of the central district suffered the consequences.

The earth cracked, and the Void shattered!

Everyone retreated, not daring to approach the battlefield of their duel. Giant Level fighters fared slightly better, but Super-Limit Tier fighters likely couldn’t withstand even the scattered remnants of their battle.

“Only a Peak Tier can withstand a Peak Tier!”

A High-Tier Giant sighed. Only now, with Xu Xiao formally releasing his Combat Power, could they sense that Xu Xiao had been holding back all along.

Had he erupted with full force earlier, they would likely have already perished. The gap between them and a Peak Tier was simply too vast.

“And… this young man in white robes is terrifying!”

“He exchanges blows with Xu Xiao without falling behind in the slightest.”

“Both are Peak Tier, so it’s no surprise they’re evenly matched. What’s strange about that?”

“No, no, no! Even among Peak Tiers, there are differences in strength!”

Hundreds of thousands of people retreated far away, no longer fleeing, unwilling to miss this Peak Tier battle.

Among them… the most excited were undoubtedly the hundred thousand examinees of the Ghost Mountain City Faction.

Their own Faction Lord was a Peak Tier!

This was like a pie falling from the sky, hitting them all at once. Each of them felt dizzy with disbelief.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiao’s Peak Tier faction grew solemn.

They had thought this battle was merely child’s play, never expecting that one of the two districts would harbor a Peak Tier, posing a genuine threat to their own Peak Tier.

High in the sky.

After one clash, the two crimson suns separated instantly, gazing at each other from a distance.

“Interesting! Truly fascinating!” Xu Xiao’s face twitched, his expression extremely unnatural, his gaze carrying a trace of ferocity as he stared at Ye Sheng.

“You’re quite interesting too!” Ye Sheng remarked, sizing up Xu Xiao. He wasn’t being sarcastic but genuinely believed so.

From their earlier battle, he had already sensed that Xu Xiao’s Peak Tier was fundamentally different from his own!

Ye Sheng relied on the power of his Skills to step into the Peak Tier.

But Xu Xiao… was entirely different.

His Skill realm wasn’t as exaggerated as imagined. In Ye Sheng’s perception, the reason Xu Xiao possessed Peak Tier Combat Power was due to external assistance!

Yes, an external force!

And this external force was extremely terrifying!

So terrifying that even heaven and earth paled in comparison!

It could Amplify the energy of Xu Xiao’s every strike, instantly elevating it to the Peak Tier level.

Ye Saint felt a sudden realization. The paths of these Peak Tiers were completely different from his own—they had achieved this level by relying on something external.

His earlier doubts now had an answer!

“Kid, now is not the time… We’ll meet again in the final round of the Kings’ War!” Xu Xiao said coldly, then actually took the initiative to retreat, returning to his Peak Tier camp, no longer intending to fight Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng did not pursue. He had a feeling that the external power within Xu Xiao was sealed.

His true Combat Power was far from being this simple.
