    Elder Tian Feng watched in shock.

    "What?! He mastered it instantly?"

    Even for a genius, learning a Supreme Scripture should have taken years.

    But in mere moments, Xiao Li had absorbed everything.

    Then—

    BOOM!

    A terrifying aura exploded from Xiao Li’s body, shaking the entire chamber.

    Golden Qi storms raged around him as his spiritual energy expanded exponentially.

    Elder Tian Feng narrowed his eyes.

    "This boy... is defying the very limits of cultivation itself."

    Xiao Li opened his eyes.

    They were no longer just gold—they shimmered with traces of cosmic energy, as if the heavens themselves had fused into his soul.

    He clenched his fist.

    "This power…"

    He could feel it—his body, his soul, his very existence had undergone a transformation.

    With this technique, he could devour the essence of heaven and earth itself—stealing power from his enemies, absorbing tribulation lightning, even consuming celestial laws.

    This was not just a technique.

    This was a path to absolute supremacy.

    Xiao Li smirked.

    "Now, I’m ready."

    Elder Tian Feng took a deep breath before speaking.

    "With this technique, your growth will become unstoppable. But remember…"

    He locked eyes with Xiao Li.

    "The moment you reveal this power to the world, you will no longer have just enemies within the Academy. Even the heavens may turn against you."

    Xiao Li chuckled.

    "Let them try."

    Elder Tian Feng shook his head with a smile.

    "You are bold… but I like that."

    "Now, go. The tournament is about to begin."

    Xiao Li turned, his aura fully restrained, and vanished into the darkness.

    "Time to dominate."

    "The Azure Kingdom Royal Academy Tournament... begins now!"

    The crowd erupted in cheers.

    "The greatest battle of the year is finally starting!"

    "I heard some monstrous talents are participating this time!"

    "Liu Tian is the favorite to win, but there are rumors about a dark horse..."

    Xiao Li stepped into the arena, his golden eyes filled with amusement.

    From the opposite side, Liu Tian, the number one Inner Court disciple, locked eyes with him, a smirk on his lips.

    "I hope you''re ready, Xiao Li."

    Xiao Li chuckled.

    "I was born ready."

    Because this tournament wasn’t just about winning.

    This was his first step toward absolute domination.

    And he was going to enjoy every second of it.
