Chapter 375: I admit defeat, I concede right now!
Though it seemed late, everything happened quickly; the dense, layered Wind Dispelling Palm Shadow crashed down like a torrential wave, instantly breaking through Zhang Wenyuan's defense and sending him flying with a loud bang.
"I told you, even if you've cultivated the Ancient Era's Technique of Fivefold Reincarnation, thinking you can contend against me with merely the Four Turns, you're vastly overestimating your own abilities!" The youth in white held a wine gourd, a mocking smile playing across his face.
Zhang Wenyuan staggered to his feet from the ground, biting his teeth. This was the second time he had been knocked down, but he was not yet defeated.
"As expected of an Ancient Daoist Cultivator, your Qi Force...oh no, it shouldn't be called Qi Force, but rather, Spirit Essence, is more appropriate. Your Spirit Essence is indeed formidable!" Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but snort coldly.
The youth in white was taken aback for a moment before laughing coldly, "I didn't expect you to know about the Ancient Daoist Cultivators, let alone Spirit Essence. It seems you're not as ignorant as you appear."
Zhang Wenyuan snorted, "Since your Spirit Essence is so powerful, let's see how you fare with other things!"
As his words fell, Zhang Wenyuan's hands swiftly formed Seal Formations. Strangely enough, his aura suddenly retracted and was no longer as violent and unrestrained as before, and in the next moment, his glabella and both eyes suddenly lit up with beams of yellow light.
"This is..." Ye Feng instantly understood upon seeing this, Zhang Wenyuan had activated his Divine Path Object. In fact, after the fifth turn, each Reincarnation Wheel was a forced descent from the Divine Path Realm, which allowed him to successfully condense five of his own Divine Path Objects.
However, up to now, Ye Feng was not entirely clear about the specific nature of Zhang Wenyuan's five Divine Path Objects, but he knew one of them well because he had seen Zhang Wenyuan use it before in Fallen Dragon Valley. This Divine Path Object was special; it did not affect the flesh body but targeted the soul, specifically the Martial Artist's Divine Soul.
Accompanied by a streak of yellow Qi, it silently entered the body of the youth in white.
In the next moment, the youth's eyes began to look dazed, his body even staggering a bit, and he seemed to be in a state of confusion.
Boss Cao Yi couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "No way, could it be that simple? If that's the case, then this white-clad youth from the so-called Four Great Ancient Clans doesn't seem to be all that strong!"
Shi Yehong followed up, "Hard to say, Zhang Wenyuan is actually not weak, and his Divine Path Object is quite special. It targets the Divine Soul specifically, which is incredibly difficult to guard against. If someone were unaware before the fight, even I might fall for his tactic!"

Ye Feng, however, shook his head and sighed, "No, the youth in white has not fallen for it, his Divine Soul has not been affected."
"How can you tell? Ye Feng, how did you discern that when we couldn't? After all, this involves the Divine Soul, which can't be seen by the naked eye on the surface," Boss Cao Yi was very surprised.
"Just wait and see, you'll know," Ye Feng said with a faint smile, as he wasn't about to reveal that it was all thanks to the special nature of the Divine Path Heavenly Edict that allowed his Divine Sense an exceptional sensitivity.
Zhang Wenyuan suddenly smiled, his expression likely showing he thought he had succeeded as he revealed a look of pride. He couldn't help but scoff to himself, "I thought you had immense strength. Now it appears you're nothing but a pillow embroidered with flowers!"
Boss Cao Yi also lamented, "With such Talent Potential, if he continues to grow, one of those two seats at the Utility Pavilion will surely be his!"
The two seats he referred to, of course, were those occupied by the two elderly figures, the highest positions in Xuanyuan Nation within the Mortal World.
Ye Feng, though, was secretly shaking his head, "Five Turns is just the beginning; in other words, it's only the threshold to enter that realm. The road ahead is still long, and the young man from one of the Four Great Ancient Clans has already traveled quite a distance."
This was the gap. Although Shi Yehong and Boss Cao Yi did not fully understand, they did comprehend the seriousness of the matter. Boss Cao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Ye Feng, are you saying that even with Five Turns activated, Zhang Wenyuan still isn't a match for the young man in white?"
Ye Feng shook his head and sighed, "He can't win. That is, unless he reaches Six Turns and, with some luck, consolidates a powerful Divine Path Object. Maybe then he might have the strength to contend!"
Only after reaching Five Turns did Zhang Wenyuan begin to gradually refine the quality of his Qi Force in order to transform it into Spirit Essence. However, the young man from one of the Four Great Ancient Clans was already cultivating in a state of high-quality Half-Spirit Transformation.
Of course, Ye Feng was on a similar path but a bit further ahead than Zhang Wenyuan, and slightly behind the young man in white. Luckily, he had other means to make up for the gap between him and the young man, an advantage Zhang Wenyuan lacked.
"I've told you already, bringing out mere Five Turns is only going to embarrass you. Since it's like this, I will now use my true strength and crush you in one fell swoop, so you can fully taste despair!"
With a cold snort from the young man in white, he tossed his Wine Gourd into the air, and to everyone's astonishment, this palm-sized Wine Gourd suddenly radiated dazzling light and expanded rapidly.
"This is... this is a legendary Magic Artifact!" The eleven elders on the main stage cried out in surprise at this moment, shock apparent on everyone's faces.
A Magic Artifact was undoubtedly a level above a Treasure Weapon. Of course, the eleven elders on the highest stage had their Magic Artifacts too, but as they cultivated Qi Force, they could manage their weapons with ease. However, controlling Magic Artifacts, the Qi Force within their bodies might seem somewhat inadequate, nothing like the young man in white who handled it with such ease.
The Wine Gourd kept expanding, then shot towards Zhang Wenyuan, suppressing him from above.
Zhang Wenyuan clenched his teeth and fisted, punching upward. With a thunderous boom, his Fist Edge struck the shimmering Wine Gourd, yet it remained unmovable.
In contrast, Zhang Wenyuan was shaken continuously backward by the fearsome impact of the Wine Gourd.
As the Wine Gourd still furiously spun towards Zhang Wenyuan, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Wenyuan suddenly raised both hands and said briskly and decisively, "I concede, I concede!"
Since he had confidently conceded, according to the rules of the Martial Dao tournament, the opponent must not attack any longer, or they would be disqualified. Therefore, although the young man in white was gritting his teeth in frustration, he had to halt his action and promptly restrained his formidable Wine Gourd.
It was then that the crowd realized that his Wine Gourd wasn't just for drinking—it was an extremely powerful Magic Treasure!
