During Lin Tianyi's exchanges with Xu Fengqiu, he continuously spewed out blood.
It seemed as if he could withstand every move of Xu Fengqiu, but in reality, he endured immense pain and injury with each attack.
Initially, his fists bled.
Now, the flesh on both arms had split open.
As Lin Tianyi's condition worsened, Xu Fengqiu landed a punch directly on his chest.
"Pfft—" Lin Tianyi spat out a mouthful of blood, crashing directly onto the ground, creating a crater thousands of meters deep.
Xu Fengqiu instantly appeared before him.
He condensed a sword with his spiritual power, holding it horizontally against Lin Tianyi's neck.
"Cough, cough…" Lin Tianyi coughed up blood uncontrollably.
His gaze was somewhat blank and disbelieving as he looked at Xu Fengqiu standing beside him.
He had lost…
He had actually lost.
Ahhhhh!
His mission had failed!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Within the Martial God Hall, numerous experts rapidly rushed over.
Then, they witnessed the scene within the deep pit.
Nothing was worth being shocked about anymore.
The battle between Xu Fengqiu and Lin Tianyi had already exceeded their understanding.
Gong Wuye and other geniuses accepted their loss without any resentment.
They were simply not on the same level.
It was not surprising whether Xu Fengqiu or Lin Tianyi won.
And Xu Fengqiu's victory was even less surprising.
Because Lin Tianyi had never won against Xu Fengqiu.
Moreover, their battle had already been shocking enough.
What kind of Heavenly Martial Assembly was this?
This was simply a battle of Supreme Immortal Emperors.
And the scene before them, with Lin Tianyi heavily injured and Xu Fengqiu holding a sword formed from intent against Lin Tianyi's neck, meant that in a real battle, Lin Tianyi would already be dead.
Therefore, Lin Tianyi had already lost this battle.
Zhan Tianwu then announced: "Then I declare that the first place in this year's Heavenly Martial Assembly goes to… Xu Fengqiu."
Xu Fengqiu retracted the sword formed from his sword intent.
"As expected, Xu Fengqiu won the championship. Although Lin Tianyi is indeed heaven-defying, he ultimately couldn't surpass Xu Fengqiu."
"Born with Yi, why create Xu? Lin Tianyi encountering Xu Fengqiu in this era is truly unlucky, but he is still the second most talented genius of the Nine Provinces in this generation, second only to Xu Fengqiu. No other contemporary genius can contend with them, at least not at the moment."
"Furthermore… Xu Fengqiu will obtain the World Cleansing Sacred Lotus Fire, which will make him even stronger."
"Fortunately, Xu Fengqiu didn't use his sword. He has already reached the point of manifesting a sword from his intent. If he had used his sword, Lin Tianyi would have lost even faster."
"…"
"Cough, cough."
Lin Tianyi coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, clutching his chest as he stood up.
His gaze turned towards the figures leaving for the Martial God Hall.
At this moment, he felt extremely dejected.
"Ding… Heavenly Martial Assembly first place mission failed, mission penalty: Activeness reduced by 50%."
Lin Tianyi gritted his teeth: "Reduce your motherf*cking reduce! Do I even have any left for you to reduce, you f*cking trash system!"
Lin Tianyi's mentality collapsed.
"I should have known that Xu Fengqiu had a system, I should have known, but why was I so arrogant? That's right, I, someone with a system, have never won against him, why didn't I believe he had a system?"
Crack, crack, crack—
Lin Tianyi clenched his fists.
He couldn't be said to be completely useless now.
Even if his mission failed, he was still a top genius in the Nine Provinces, second only to Xu Fengqiu.
He was still a young genius capable of contending with Supreme Immortal Emperors.
He had just lost many, many methods.
He just definitely couldn't compare to Xu Fengqiu.
"This won't do. Although I seem to be second only to Xu Fengqiu in the Nine Provinces, there are still the Eight Desolations. When I get to the Eight Desolations, I definitely won't be enough! I need massive improvements, I need to become stronger."
"I must kill Xu Fengqiu, I must kill him!"
Lin Tianyi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with malice.
But he still had a system.
As long as he didn't clash head-on with Xu Fengqiu for now, he could develop slowly, and he would still be invincible.
"Ding… Detecting that the host's missions have all failed, the system will disappear, don't miss it."
Lin Tianyi: ? ? ?
"What the f*ck… Hey! Hey, hey, hey! !"
"System?"
"F*ck your mother!"
"You f*cking left, just leave, can you give my activeness back? I don't want the intelligence, give me that back, f*ck your mother!"
Lin Tianyi's mentality collapsed again.
But…
Fortunately, the cultivation techniques, mental cultivation methods, martial skills, medical skills, etc., that the system had rewarded him with were still there.
He had just lost the future improvements from the system.
From now on, he could only rely on himself.
Damn it!
Lin Tianyi swallowed a pill, his eyes filled with malice.
Should he return to the Martial God Hall?
He was worried about Xu Fengqiu's methods, he was worried that Xu Fengqiu wanted to kill him.
"No, I have to go back. Although I can't get the World Cleansing Sacred Lotus Fire, but as the second place, I can choose another top-tier reward first. Now that I've lost the system, I definitely can't miss other opportunities for improvement."
Thinking of this, Lin Tianyi still returned to the Martial God Hall.
He hated Xu Fengqiu to the core.
But now, he knew that he absolutely couldn't continue to clash head-on with Xu Fengqiu.
And no behind the scenes scheming either.
He needed to develop.
… …
"Ding… Lin Tianyi's mission failed, Heavenly Fate Value decreased by one million, your System Value increased by ten million."
"Ding… Lin Tianyi's system disappeared, Heavenly Fate Value decreased by million, your System Value increased by 25 million."
"Ding… Lin Tianyi regressed to a First-Order Child of Fortune."
System prompts constantly echoed in Xu Fengqiu's mind.
So, Lin Tianyi's Heavenly Fate Value was now only a hundred thousand.
His fortune had been completely severed by Xu Fengqiu.
And now, what Xu Fengqiu had to do was to kill him.
This Lin Tianyi must die.
Even though his system was gone, he had already guessed that he had a system.
This person must not be left alive.
Inside the Martial God Hall.
Main Peak.
Everyone gathered here.
Zhan Tianwu and other experts glanced at the crowd.
"Everyone, the Heavenly Martial Assembly has come to a successful conclusion. This Heavenly Martial Assembly can be called the most exciting one. We have all witnessed what a true top genius is, what an existence born in accordance with the will of Heaven is."
Lin Tianyi stood there with a sinister expression.
"Then, let us once again congratulate the champion of this year's Heavenly Martial Assembly, Xu Fengqiu."
The crowd applauded.
"Then, as the first place in the Heavenly Martial Assembly, you will have the right to choose a reward first."
Zhan Tianwu looked at Xu Fengqiu.
Xu Fengqiu said indifferently: "World Cleansing Sacred Lotus Fire."
This was not surprising.
The World Cleansing Sacred Lotus Fire was the top-tier existence among all the rewards.
"Good."
Zhan Tianwu grabbed towards the void.
A scroll was grabbed down.
"The World Cleansing Sacred Lotus Fire is sealed within this Mountains and Rivers Diagram."
Xu Fengqiu grabbed the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, then cupped his fist.
Everyone was extremely envious.
