The pressure in the air kept intensifying, layer by layer.
Xavier Liu's figure was ethereal, one hand behind his back, the other already extended. From several meters away, he sent a palm strike toward the Rowe Patriarch.
The palm strike, launched from a distance, carried wave after wave of terrifying energy that made hearts tremble!
No visible inner force could be seen.
But all around, there were fluctuations far more terrifying than ordinary inner force, instantly spreading everywhere.
The high-alloy floor was forcibly pressed down by the invisible waves, leaving visible dents everywhere.
Caught in the storm between the two, the Rowe Patriarch’s expression hardened. He waved his hand, not hesitating for a second, and forcibly tore open a path through the congealed air around him.
He advanced, each step ringing out with the sound of metal striking stone.
He pushed forward with brute force.
Layers of energy swirled around him. No one saw him throw a punch—they only saw him stride toward Old Patriarch Ma.
As the two faced each other, drawing ever closer, the air around them suddenly erupted again and again with thunderous sounds of fists colliding.
Each punch landed with a solid, meaty impact.
The sound shook everyone to their core.
The booming echoes rang in the ears of everyone present.
Blow after blow, the explosive sound of fists rang out in rapid succession.
As Old Patriarch Ma and the Rowe Patriarch drew closer, the barrage of fist impacts in the air grew even denser.
No one could see any fist shadows now.
Only the sounds echoing through the air around them told everyone that the two had already begun exchanging blows.
Xavier Liu’s palm strike arrived in an instant, and the surrounding alloy floor was pressed down several more inches.
The Rowe Patriarch shifted sideways, thrusting out a palm to meet Xavier Liu’s attack head-on.
"How can you be this strong?"
Xavier Liu retreated three steps, his expression grim.
Old Patriarch Ma stepped back two steps, his brows tightly furrowed.
The Rowe Patriarch, though he retreated four steps—the most—showed no sign of discouragement on his face.
Facing two opponents alone.
That was never easy.
Yet with only a few extra steps back, he had already won most of the fight.
Heavenly Phenomenon, Heavenly Phenomenon!
So this is the power of Heavenly Phenomenon.
The Rowe Patriarch’s eyes widened, laughing wildly as his battle spirit surged: "This is exhilarating!"
He burst into wild laughter, then charged forward again.
His figure flashed like lightning, instantly appearing before Old Patriarch Ma and Xavier Liu.
Another round of fierce battle erupted.
The super-alloy floor and ceiling twisted and groaned, making everyone fear they might snap at any moment.
Old Patriarch Ma and Xavier Liu showed no intention of holding back, going all out.
The three fought as one.
But even with the two working together, they couldn’t gain enough advantage quickly—in fact, it almost seemed like the Rowe Patriarch was suppressing them!
He’s just entered Heavenly Phenomenon—how can he be this strong?" The Tan Patriarch looked shocked.
He sat there, visibly uneasy.
This shouldn’t be possible—Old Patriarch Ma and Xavier Liu have been in Heavenly Phenomenon for a long time, and the Rowe Patriarch just broke through. Even if he really became Heavenly Phenomenon, how could one Heavenly Phenomenon expert possibly stand against two?
This shouldn’t be possible... Impossible!
Douglas Jiang’s face turned pale.
He too had lingered at the peak of Pointing-to-Mystery for years, never able to enter Heavenly Phenomenon.
Until recently, the Rowe Patriarch of the Ancient Martial Rowe clan, though also at the peak of Pointing-to-Mystery, was still far weaker than Douglas Jiang.
But all this happened in less than an hour.
He had watched as the Rowe Patriarch, once weaker than him, became a powerhouse able to fight two Heavenly Phenomenon experts without defeat. For a moment, it felt like a dream—his expression dazed, his heart uneasy.
A bit unbalanced.
A bit envious.
A bit jealous.
But most of all, confused.
The Heavenly Phenomenon Realm is very different from Vajra and Pointing-to-Mystery. In Heavenly Phenomenon, cultivation matters, but comprehension is most important.
The Qin Patriarch, eyes flickering, continued: "Though the Rowe Patriarch has only recently entered Heavenly Phenomenon, his understanding of the realm is clearly deeper than Old Patriarch Ma and Xavier Liu."
That’s why he’s stronger, more formidable.
After the Qin Patriarch finished speaking, the hall fell silent once more.
Only the thunder of fists continued to echo in everyone’s ears.
At that moment, everyone looked toward Master Lin from Seacrest, their gazes complicated.
Especially Douglas Jiang and the Tan Patriarch.
Even the slowest among them understood—the Rowe Patriarch’s transformation was entirely thanks to Master Lin from Seacrest.
With just a bit of guidance from Master Lin from Seacrest...
Such terrifying results?
Ethan Lu and the others fell silent.
Holly Hong sat there, her mind blank.
None of the vassal families dared to speak.
Lily Liang and the others from the Liu clan looked pale.
They’d hoped Xavier Liu could turn the tide, but in the end it was all for nothing.
The Rowe clan was the most excited.
One by one, they sat there, eyes red, staring at the battling Rowe Patriarch.
All the humiliation from before was washed away in this moment!
“Who do you think will win?” Lily Liang asked anxiously, watching the battle.
The outcome was still unclear.
But the terrifying waves around them only grew stronger.
Several panels of the super-alloy floor had been smashed, revealing deep brown earth beneath.
Even the underground space seemed to expand.
“With me here, the Rowe Patriarch won’t lose.”
Evan Lin shook his head, his confident words striking everyone deeply.
Someone wanted to argue.
But before they could speak—
On the battlefield—
The situation suddenly changed.
