The sudden voice instantly shattered the silence of the martial arts arena, resonating with exceptional clarity. Every delegate present from various nations, as well as the audience in the Divine Net live stream, heard it clearly.
Jiang Wuming’s voice?
In an instant, everyone recognized it as Jiang Wuming’s voice.
As the thought surfaced, all present turned their gazes towards the arena. The cameras, which had been focused on the Dragon Country delegation's area, re-focused on Jiang Wuming.
The next moment, everyone clearly saw that Jiang Wuming, who had been lying on the ground, had somehow stood up. His previously weak aura was rapidly strengthening.
That's right…
At this moment, Jiang Wuming's aura was growing stronger!
Within Jiang Wuming's mental world, Wu Sa’s destructive storm had vanished. His spiritual fire had not been extinguished; instead, it had become more condensed and brighter, illuminating all directions.
Jiang Wuming’s mental world, which had collapsed, was re-forming around the spiritual fire as its center.
It felt like a tree struck by lightning, withered, then encountering rain and regaining its vitality.
The recent exchange had subjected Jiang Wuming's soul to a rudimentary process of destruction and rebirth, and he would emerge even stronger than before!
As the saying goes: What does not kill you makes you stronger!
“Brother Wuming is fine!”
“Amitabha, a false alarm!”
“Wuming, well done!!”
Immediately, the previously silent arena erupted into earth-shattering cheers, originating from the area occupied by the Dragon Country delegation.
Before, that section had been eerily quiet!
At this moment, whether it was Ye Kunlun, Yuan He, or Qin Yuanzheng, they couldn't help but shout, as if celebrating Jiang Wuming’s safety and releasing their pent-up emotions.
Li Lianyi did not shout. She quietly returned to her seat, the mist of tears in her eyes gradually dissipating, allowing Jiang Wuming's figure to become clear again.
Simultaneously, those watching through the Divine Net live stream also saw Jiang Wuming standing back on the arena.
“Master Wuming has stood up again, he’s fine!”
“I knew it, Teacher Wuming wouldn’t and couldn’t be defeated!”
“Damn it, where are all those who were clamoring about Master Wuming’s defeat or even death? Open your dog eyes and look properly, is Master Wuming dead?!”
…
For a time, martial artists from all over Dragon Country were excitedly flooding the comments section.
The Divine Net live stream was once again swamped with comments. The foreign martial artists who had been clamoring earlier were all silenced. No one responded, instead staring wide-eyed at Jiang Wuming on the screen: What’s going on?
“What’s the situation? How is he suddenly alive again?”
At the competition venue, Qi Tian stared with wide eyes, a look of confusion on his face.
“Yes, I clearly sensed his aura was extremely weak just now, as if he could die at any moment. Now he looks like he’s fine, it’s too miraculous!”
Caroline couldn't help but exclaim.
“He was never dead!”
A smile played on Shen Zui’s lips as he picked up the wine gourd at his waist and took a gulp of strong liquor.
Meanwhile, Dawson and his disciple, Gade, stared intently at Jiang Wuming, sensing his aura growing stronger, their shock rendering them speechless.
Shush shush shush…
On the other side, members of the European, Ninja, North American Alliance, Indian, and Australian delegations all had drastic changes in their expressions!
Under the morning glow, their faces no longer held any trace of their previous joy and excitement; only shock and displeasure remained!
Just moments ago, they had all sensed Jiang Wuming’s extremely weak aura. Furthermore, Dawson, the third strongest fighter on Earth, had stated that Jiang Wuming would not survive. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wuming was alive again and his aura was continuously strengthening!
If they had been enjoying a delicious feast moments ago, their mood had now turned sour, as if discovering something foul in their meal.
Compared to the outsiders, Wu Sa and Anthony @ Roman felt an even more intense shock. The former stared intently at Jiang Wuming on the arena, while the latter watched the live stream in disbelief in the grand hall of the ancient castle.
“You… you were clearly struck by my forbidden technique, your soul annihilated! How could you possibly survive? And… and your aura is continuously strengthening! This is impossible!!”
As he watched, Wu Sa screamed in disbelief.
After unleashing the destructive storm, he had clearly sensed that he had crushed Jiang Wuming’s will and destroyed his mental world!
Hearing Wu Sa’s scream, everyone stared intently at Jiang Wuming, awaiting his response.
However—
Jiang Wuming did not speak.
Under everyone’s gaze, he strode towards Wu Sa.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
…
The steady footsteps echoed on the arena, as if responding to Wu Sa and everyone present.
“Even if your mental will withstood my forbidden technique, you should have been severely injured!”
Seeing Jiang Wuming approaching, Wu Sa stood motionless, still screaming in disbelief.
Because he could not comprehend the changes in Jiang Wuming!
All of this subverted his understanding of spiritual cultivation!
“The strength of the Dragon Country people’s mental will is beyond your imagination!”
Jiang Wuming arrived in front of Wu Sa, stopped, and slowly spoke, his voice resounding and clear.
“Wh… what do you mean?”
Wu Sa instinctively asked.
“In the past, the people of Dragon Country, with their mental will, defeated invaders amidst hardship, allowing Dragon Country to rise from ruin.
Now, where do you get the confidence to crush the mental will of the Dragon Country people?!”
Jiang Wuming spoke again, his gaze sweeping across the delegates from Europe, Japan, and other nations.
He saw a multitude of aggrieved and angry faces. He also saw some people instinctively open their mouths, but in the end, the entire venue fell silent!
Whoosh!
Then, Jiang Wuming retracted his gaze, his right hand flashing out like lightning, grabbing Wu Sa by the neck.
Wu Sa did not dodge, nor could he.
Moments ago, he had used his forbidden technique, exhausting all his spiritual power. At present, he was completely unable to launch any more spiritual attacks!
Moreover, his soul had been severely damaged, beginning to wither and weaken. It would completely dissipate soon, and he was only barely able to control his body.
This was also why Wu Sa had not delivered a finishing blow after Jiang Wuming fell.
Besides, even in his peak state, at such close range, he would not have been able to evade Jiang Wuming’s close-quarters attack!
The next moment.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Jiang Wuming, gripping Wu Sa by the neck, lifted him effortlessly into the air, as if holding a small chick.
“Stop… stop!”
Just then, Xivier @ Roman, not far away, suddenly jolted awake and shouted, attempting to stop Jiang Wuming from attacking Wu Sa.
At this point, Wu Sa’s defeat was a foregone conclusion.
In such a situation, he wanted to save Wu Sa’s life.
After all, Wu Sa, with his mental cultivation of a tenth-stage two-star War God, was a top-tier, rare genius in the global martial arts community and a precious asset to Europe!
“Crack!”
“Pfft—”
The crisp sound was the response to Xivier @ Roman.
Jiang Wuming, his face devoid of emotion, snapped Wu Sa’s neck, separating his head from his body. Hot blood sprayed into the air like a geyser.
“You…”
Xivier @ Roman’s face changed, and he glared angrily at Jiang Wuming.
“Those who insult my Dragon Country shall be humiliated; those who offend my Dragon Country shall be annihilated!”
The youth, bathed in the rain of blood, coldly interrupted Xivier @ Roman’s words, his voice echoing throughout the venue and across the globe!
This was his response to Xivier @ Roman, and more importantly, his declaration to the world on behalf of the Dragon Country martial arts community!
