Dapeng's Time Travel Life

On the day of the finals, the Qingfeng Sect's martial arts arena was packed with disciples who arrived early, eager to witness this epic showdown. The sun blazed down, casting a blinding light on the central arena. Zhang Peng stood calmly to one side of the arena, but his heart was pounding with tension. After all, his opponent was Zhou Xuan, the chief disciple of the inner sect, a peak Qi Refining expert with unfathomable strength.

Zhou Xuan, dressed in white and holding a folding fan, slowly walked onto the arena, his eyes revealing confidence and arrogance. He sized up Zhang Peng, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "You think you're worthy to compete with me for the final spot in the Cleansing Spring?"

Zhang Peng was not angry. He simply gripped his longsword tightly, his five elements spiritual power circulating quietly within him. Five-colored light flickered around him, responding to Zhou Xuan's provocation.

With the referee's whistle, the battle erupted instantly. Zhou Xuan made the first move, slamming his folding fan shut and unleashing a sharp sword aura that hissed through the air, carving a deep trench in the ground where the sword aura passed.

Zhang Peng dodged the sword energy with a flash, like a ghost, while simultaneously channeling his fire elemental power, instantly igniting a raging fire in his palm and shooting it towards Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan remained unmoved, gently waving his folding fan, a breeze wafting out and dispersing all the flames.

"A mere trick," Zhou Xuan said coldly. Then, he used a strange footwork technique, moving like a phantom across the arena, his folding fan constantly waving, and sword energies shooting towards Zhang Peng from different angles.

Zhang Peng felt a sudden increase in pressure, so he quickly mobilized his water elemental power to form a sturdy water shield in front of him. The sword energy struck the water shield, producing a series of crisp sounds, and ripples spread across the surface of the water shield, but it never broke.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can last!" Zhou Xuan snorted coldly upon seeing this. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and a huge pillar of lightning descended from the sky, striking straight at Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng was startled. He knew the power of the lightning pillar and dared not take it head-on. He immediately mobilized the earth elemental power within his body, condensing a huge rock beneath his feet, and then used his movement technique to hide behind the rock.

"Boom!" The lightning bolt struck the rock, instantly turning it into powder. The powerful impact sent Zhang Peng flying, tracing an arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

"General!" Lin Wan'er and Su Yao, who were below the stage, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their eyes filled with worry.

Zhang Peng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to his feet. He knew he couldn't give up like this. He took a deep breath, completely merging the power of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl with his own spiritual energy. The Five Elements spiritual energy within his body began to circulate wildly, and his aura continued to rise.

"Zhou Xuan, this is just the beginning!" Zhang Peng shouted, raising his longsword high above his head. The five elements of spiritual energy gathered on the blade, forming a five-colored light. Then, he leaped forward and unleashed a sword aura containing immense power.

Zhou Xuan sensed the power of the sword energy and his expression changed slightly. He dared not be careless and immediately used all his strength to defend. "Boom!" The two forces collided violently in the air, producing a loud bang. The entire arena shook violently, and cracks appeared in the protective barrier around the arena.

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, several figures were quietly observing the battle from a corner of the training ground. One of them, dressed in black robes, had greed and ruthlessness in his eyes: "The Five Elements Spirit Pearl in this kid's hands is indeed extraordinary. Once he and Zhou Xuan are both severely injured, we'll make our move and seize the Spirit Pearl!"

The others nodded, their eyes gleaming with ill intent. Meanwhile, Zhang Peng and Zhou Xuan were completely absorbed in the fierce battle, unaware of the lurking danger that was closing in.
