After Kang Shin-mu got on the stage, he stood on the same arena with Qiu Linyun, the inheritor of the Heavenly Dragon Blood Essence, who was at the third level of the Divine Martial Realm.
Qiu Linyun's eyes flashed with a dignified look. Obviously, he attached great importance to Kang Shin-mu. In any case, Kang Shin-mu's reputation was now like the sun in the sky. Even Meng Tianxing and Zang Xijian were defeated by him, and he even killed the Starry Sky Flame Wolf. His strength was terrifying.
And Qiu Linyun had the power of the Tree Ancestor, which was a type of talent power that Kang Shin-mu had not been able to devour before. It was Qiu Linyun's greatest guarantee against Kang Shin-mu.
"Kang Shin-mu, I will defeat you."
Qiu Linyun said coldly.
"Then come."
Kang Shin-mu did not have any expression.
As the host on the stage announced the start of the first battle, Kang Shin-mu, Qiu Linyun, and the other Dragon Warriors on the other four arenas all activated their bloodlines, transformed into Divine Dragon bodies, and soared in the air of the arena in an instant.
All kinds of talent power directly burst out, and the entire arena was filled with fierce collisions of power. There was a constant deafening sound of power impact.
Qiu Linyun did not hesitate in the slightest. He knew very well that Kang Shin-mu's fighting strength would become stronger and stronger, so he did not intend to give Kang Shin-mu any chance.
As soon as the battle began, Qiu Linyun directly activated the power of the Tree Ancestor in his body. In an instant, a large amount of emerald green talent power burst out, like a sea of green trees, and suddenly swept towards the Black Dragon body that Kang Shin-mu had transformed into.
Countless emerald green vines wrapped around the entire Black Dragon body of Kang Shin-mu, and invaded into his body. They also had the effect of devouring the power in his body.
In the face of the opponent's first attack, Kang Shin-mu did not panic. The devouring power in his body directly condensed on the surface of the Divine Dragon body, and with the defense of the purple magic crystal, he successfully blocked the countless emerald green vines.
Even if the power of the Tree Ancestor wanted to invade his body, it would not be able to penetrate his defenses!
When Kang Shin-mu advanced to the first level of the God Martial Arts realm, his innate ability became even stronger. His devouring power quickly began to devour the power of the Tree Grandmaster. For a moment, the opponent couldn't do anything to Kang Shin-mu.
"Azure Wave Heaven Connecting Break!"
At this time, Qiu Linyun's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. He finally used a fourth-grade dragon martial technique. In an instant, the power of the Tree Ancestor condensed into a giant tree that reached the sky. It grew out of the Black Dragon that Kang Shin-mu had transformed into, piercing through Kang Shin-mu's dragon body in an instant!
This Fourth Grade Dragon Martial Skill, Sky-Connecting Azure Wave Break, had actually been cultivated to the level of Dragon. It was an extremely frightening attack, condensing the power of the Tree Ancestor to form a huge tree that connected to the sky. The branches were sharp and sharp, and their destructive and penetrative power had reached the pinnacle.
Kang Shin-mu also didn't expect that the opponent would have such a sharp attack. He was struck for a moment, but he managed to avoid being hit in the vital parts of his body. The golden light of the Heavenly Saint Halberd flashed on his body, quickly covering his wounds.
The pitch-black devouring power quickly enveloped the huge tree, and then Kang Shin-mu exploded with all his strength.
"Devour for me!"
The next moment, under the corrosion of the devouring power, the entire tree began to rot. The power of the Tree Ancestor that made up the giant tree was all swallowed into Kang Shin-mu's body, becoming a part of his strength and increasing his resistance against the innate ability of the wood element.
"I actually failed to kill him. Again, Sky-Connecting Azure Wave Break!"
Qiu Linyun didn't hesitate at all. Just now, he failed to hit Kang Shin-mu's vital parts, but now, he directly aimed at Kang Shin-mu's black dragon heart, wanting to condense the power of the Tree Ancestor and penetrate it completely.
Unfortunately, Kang Shin-mu was prepared. He used the devouring power to defend near the heart, and the golden light of the Heavenly Saint Halberd also flickered continuously, actually combining with the purple magic crystal near the heart, forming a thick layer of defense.
The giant tree condensed from the power of the Tree Ancestor suddenly grew, and the sharp branches suddenly swept over, instantly bombarding the purple magic crystal's defensive barrier. Unexpectedly, it was easily blocked!
Now that Kang Shin-mu's Magic Crystal Dragon Martial Skill had broken through to the level of Dragon, the concentrated defensive power had reached an extremely terrifying level.
Now that he was prepared, Kang Shin-mu was in a completely invincible position against an opponent like Qiu Linyun.
Seeing that his Dragon Martial Skill failed to kill Kang Shin-mu, Qiu Linyun's face was full of shock. At the same time, his expression became solemn, because he knew very well that now that his attacks were ineffective against Kang Shin-mu, it was basically impossible for him to kill Kang Shin-mu in the future.
"I admit defeat!"
Qiu Linyun directly admitted defeat, because even if he admitted defeat, it was still possible for him to move forward after falling into the losers group.
Instead of fighting to the death with Kang Shin-mu and wasting his strength here, it was better to simply admit defeat. Not only could he preserve his strength, but it could also let Kang Shin-mu devour less wood element talent power, so that his defense against wood element talent power would not be so strong.
"Admit defeat?"
Kang Shin-mu was a little surprised.
When this Qiu Linyun came on stage, his determination to defeat him was still very strong. He didn't expect that he would actually admit defeat now, which was unexpected.
However, thinking about it, many people were already very familiar with Kang Shin-mu's fighting style. As long as they couldn't kill Kang Shin-mu in the beginning, there was almost no possibility of winning, unless the opponent's talent power was also like Kang Shin-mu's, an existence that could become stronger the more they fought.
However, the existence of this kind of talent power was originally not common, and the possibility of it appearing in the Clan Martial Tournament was even lower.
Qiu Linyun quickly left the stage, his complexion not very good. One must know that he originally wanted to fight for the top 20, but now he actually lost to Kang Shin-mu in the first round of the semi-finals, which was a humiliation for him.
However, on second thought, Kang Shin-mu was now in the limelight, and he was very strong, so it was not too unjust to lose to him.
"I didn't expect Kang Shin-mu's strength to have already grown to such a level."
"Even Qiu Linyun was defeated by this person. It seems that in this year's Clan Martial Tournament, this Kang Shin-mu will definitely be able to enter the top ten!"
"It's not just the top ten. This Qiu Linyun seems to still be quite a distance away from Kang Shin-mu. From this, it can be speculated that this Kang Shin-mu probably has the battle prowess of the top five."
"The top five, it's not that exaggerated. One must know that the top five are all inheritors of the Heavenly Dragon Blood Essence at the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm. How could they be defeated so easily?"
Everyone discussed animatedly, and their evaluation of Kang Shin-mu rose by another level.
Of course, until now, no one believed that Kang Shin-mu could defeat Meng Chou and Zang Feng, the two strongest experts in the entire Clan Martial Tournament.
The semi-finals continued. Very quickly, Jiang Liuxue was defeated by Ji Yuan and could only fall into the losers group.
With Jiang Liuxue's strength, it would be a little difficult for her to enter the next round. Of course, it would also depend on her luck. Let's see if she could enter the top 20 in the losers group. That way, she would be able to advance to the second round of the semi-finals.
