C35 Vajra Subduing Dragon.

Chen Feng had previously refrained from tapping into his Astral Energy, relying solely on the power bestowed by his Soldier Martial Spirit. But now, as he channeled his Astral Energy and executed his Movement Technique, he proved to be every bit Yu Kun's equal in strength.

This was to be expected. Chen Feng, a scion of a noble lineage and an Inner Sect disciple of the Flying Cloud Sect, was naturally privy to some of the most refined Movement Techniques.

In the heat of the chase, Chen Feng's prowess left Yu Kun struggling to keep up, a fact that didn't escape the onlookers. They could see that Chen Feng was swiftly gaining the upper hand.

"Yu Kun is merely an Elite Disciple. Luck can only take him so far against an Inner Sect disciple!"

"I'm kicking myself now! I bet on a miracle in this match and handed all my Spirit Stones to the Little Prince! I just hope he doesn't let me down completely..."

"Chen Feng's not just showing off a condensed Martial Soul; his Martial Arts Movement Technique has clearly leveled up! After this fight, I bet his standing within the Inner Sect will climb even higher!"

The murmurs spread among the crowd, with even the Outer Sect disciples recognizing Yu Kun's disadvantage. Hsu Shaan and his group looked on with anxiety, but they knew they couldn't intervene. Yu Kun had to stand on his own.

Chen Feng's Movement Technique was formidable, a fact Yu Kun acknowledged internally. He felt fortunate to have prepared by bringing his cultivation mark, which, despite being consumed by the baby Leviathan, had serendipitously enhanced his strength. "Even if Chen Feng has reached the Soul Refining Stage, I can overpower him with sheer strength!" Yu Kun thought confidently, halting in his tracks.

With their speeds matched, Yu Kun decided to let strength dictate the outcome. He summoned his Astral Energy and launched it at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng initially registered surprise, but it quickly gave way to scorn.

"Demon Suppressing Ring? How audacious of you to use the Chen family's martial arts against me! Watch as I shatter your rudimentary Demon Suppressing Ring!"

With a defiant cry, Chen Feng channeled his own Astral Energy, countering with the very same Demon Suppressing Ring technique.

The two Demon Suppressing Rings collided with a clash.

Yet, Yu Kun's face betrayed a sense of ease.

Chen Feng was momentarily dazed before sensing that something was amiss.

Both wielded the Demon Suppressing Ring, and Chen Feng's technique was even more refined than Yu Kun's. But inexplicably, upon impact, his ring's power paled in comparison to Yu Kun's! In a fleeting moment, Chen Feng realized with dismay that his Demon Suppressing Ring had dissolved instantly!

Subsequently, Yu Kun's ring descended upon Chen Feng, binding him in the blink of an eye.

The ring's power wasn't overwhelming, and Chen Feng could have easily broken free, but the indignity of the situation was more than he could stomach.

His Demon Suppressing Ring had been undone by Yu Kun!

While the invisible clash of Astral Energy was lost on onlookers, they could still discern that Chen Feng had been bested in the exchange!

The nuances escaped the crowd, but Yu Kun knew the true nature of his Astral Energy. It was no ordinary force; it was Devouring Astral Energy, born from the Leviathan-roc within his Qi Sea, capable of annihilating any opposing Astral Energy upon contact.

Thus, despite the apparent parity between their Demon Suppressing Rings, it was Chen Feng's that ultimately succumbed.

Having gauged Chen Feng's capabilities, Yu Kun confidently re-engaged his Demon Suppressing Ring.

Eyes ablaze, Chen Feng declared, "Let's see how much Astral Energy you truly possess! You've only reached the Qi Refining Stage. No matter the quantity of your Astral Energy, it can't surpass that of someone in the Soul Refining Stage! Demon Suppressing Ring, withstand this assault!"

Undeterred, Chen Feng channeled his Astral Energy and once more summoned the Demon Suppressing Ring.

The outcome, however, was unchanged. Chen Feng's ring was overpowered, and he found himself ensnared by the remnants of Yu Kun's ring.

As Chen Feng struggled to free himself, he was astonished to witness Yu Kun execute the Stunning Steps, closing the distance between them in the mere blink of an eye.

"How could that be! Don't you need to stabilize your Astral Energy? For most people, their Astral Energy would start to fluctuate after just two or three moves. How can you..."

Chen Feng was taken aback, but before he could finish his thought, Yu Kun had already executed the Vajra Worshipping Moon technique.

This was the opening move of the Great Vajra Palm, known as Vajra Worshipping Moon.

In that instant, even the spectators outside the ring were under the impression that the heavens had descended, with a crescent moon rising majestically.

The crowd watched as Chen Feng was propelled backward, his figure looking somewhat pitiful. Yet, his aura was merely disrupted, and he didn't appear to have sustained any serious injuries.

"What's happening here?" Several elders outside the ring sensed something unique about Yu Kun's Martial Arts.

"The last time I saw him perform this Martial Arts, it seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Now that I've seen this technique, it hits me—the Flying Cloud Sect once had a Martial Arts known as the Great Vajra Palm!"

"Great Vajra Palm!" Zhou Xingtian murmured in awe, "Isn't that a Grade Four Martial Arts? It's just that due to its incomplete nature, we've been unable to practice it, relegating it to Grade One status! I never imagined he would have mastered this Martial Arts!"

Zhou Xingtian had more on his mind.

I never imagined he would have actually mastered this Martial Arts!

Chen Feng, having been knocked back by Yu Kun's Vajra Worshipping Moon, quickly snapped out of his initial shock.

"So, you've managed to push me to this point! Unfortunately for you, that must have been your trump card! You've probably exhausted your Astral Energy by now!" Chen Feng licked his lips, a cruel smirk spreading across his face, "I countered your attack with my Martial Soul. Although it's weakened and temporarily unusable, my level alone makes you no match for me!"

Chen Feng advanced towards Yu Kun with a predatory gleam in his eyes, each step heavy with menace.

Yet, Yu Kun couldn't help but show a trace of scorn.

Yu Kun spoke deliberately, "Who told you I'm out of Astral Energy?"

After uttering those words, Yu Kun executed the next martial arts technique, much to Chen Feng's astonishment.

Yet, it wasn't the Vajra Worshipping Moon. Instead, he unleashed the third form of the Great Vajra Palm, the Vajra Subduing Dragon!

Legend speaks of a Vajra descending from the heavens, wielding immense power to subdue a colossal dragon. Even the mighty Dragon Clan, rulers of seas and wastelands, were ripped asunder by the Vajra.

The Vajra Subduing Dragon was crafted in the image of these ancient myths! Its power was formidable, far surpassing the previous two forms.

Indeed, it is the Vajra Subduing Dragon that elevates the Great Vajra Palm to the status of a Grade Four Martial Arts!

And now, Yu Kun had deployed the Vajra Subduing Dragon.

The most formidable technique within the Great Vajra Palm, the Vajra Subduing Dragon, was now revealed before the eyes of the Flying Cloud Sect members!

Chen Feng had no chance to even cry out for help before the concentrated Astral Energy of the Vajra Subduing Dragon sent him hurtling through the air.

The ferocious Astral Energy shattered his bones and obliterated his internal organs in a flash, snuffing out his life force completely.

By the time the Vajra Subduing Dragon had fully dissipated, Chen Feng was nothing more than a lifeless body.

Having delivered this palm strike, Yu Kun found his Astral Energy nearly depleted.

"The Vajra Subduing Dragon truly lives up to its reputation. But I must be cautious with its use! With the Astral Energy I have at present, I could only manage to muster this single strike. Luckily, its overwhelming power was too much for even Chen Feng to withstand! Now that he's gone, I can harvest some evolution points from him..."

With that thought, Yu Kun strolled over to where Chen Feng lay and absorbed the Growth Value emanating from his remains.
