Although everyone thought Zhao Letian was more arrogant, they believed his arrogance was nothing more than an empty show of bravado.

After all, everyone believed that Luo Hao now surpassed Zhao Letian at his peak, and although Zhao Letian was unexpectedly still alive, he had been heavily wounded by Shentu Yu, damaging his martial foundations. It was said that at the time, he had lost all his cultivation and turned into a cripple. Even if he had recovered some of his cultivation now, it surely wouldn't compare to before. How could he be mentioned in the same breath as Luo Hao now, let alone defeat Luo Hao with a single sword strike? He was simply delusional and overestimated his ability.

However, those who knew Zhao Letian well didn't think so, like Liu Wei, the Galaxy Five Tigers, and, standing aloof on a Golden Flying Sword, Shentu Yu and Liu Fei.

Liu Wei firmly believed that Zhao Letian was a man of his word, resolute in deed, and would never speak idly. If he dared to make such a claim, he must have had substantial confidence and reason.

Although the Galaxy Five Tigers hadn't interacted much with Zhao Letian, they had experienced his formidable strength firsthand, when he defeated all five of them at Primordial Martial Ninth Realm with a single palm strike. Zhao Letian's current strength was definitely much stronger than everyone imagined, particularly when they remembered the terrifying roar they had heard over the past few days, allegedly related to Zhao Letian. They felt that his strength was unfathomable. Whether he could defeat Luo Hao with a single sword strike, they couldn't be sure, but at the very least, Zhao Letian should be capable of putting up a good fight.

As for Shentu Yu and Liu Fei, their expressions at the moment were rather unsightly. They knew very well what kind of person Zhao Letian was. That day, Zhao Letian had the audacity to fight Shentu Yu to the death with his mere Primordial Martial Realm cultivation, indicating to them that Zhao Letian was not one to be trifled with. Words that left his mouth were weighty; he wouldn't make jokes lightly. If he said he could defeat Luo Hao with a single sword strike, it was very likely that he genuinely had the strength to do so.

"Who would have thought that not only did this brat not die, but it seems he also encountered some kind of fortunate opportunity; even I can't see through his current level of cultivation," Shentu Yu said, squinting his eyes and staring coldly down at Zhao Letian.

"Could it be that he has already broken through to the True Martial Realm? That seems highly unlikely. Didn't you say that he had lost all his cultivation, left with only a breath at that time? Even if he's still alive now, his martial foundations should have been severely damaged. Even recovering to his former peak seems unlikely, let alone making a breakthrough to the True Martial Realm," Liu Fei said with furrowed brows, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

The fact that Zhao Letian was still alive was already a thorn in her throat, extremely vexing. If Zhao Letian's strength had not only not regressed but had actually improved, it inevitably caused her some worry. After all, she had not only betrayed Zhao Letian but had also helped her adulterous partner Shentu Yu frame Zhao Letian. How could she not worry about Zhao Letian seeking retribution from her?

"True Martial Realm? Feifei, rest assured, that's not possible," Shentu Yu shook his head and coldly scoffed, "No one knows better than I do about the extent of his injuries at that time. When I threw him into the lake, he was already at death's door, gasping for air. He was meant to be dead, and his martial foundations were devastated by me, almost equivalent to being completely disabled. The fact that he can still live now is already a miracle. Unless something unforeseen happens, he will not possibly break through to the True Martial Realm in this lifetime. Moreover, even if he did break through to the True Martial Realm, he would still be nothing more than a negligible ant in front of me, and I could still crush him anytime I wish."

"Then why can't you see through his cultivation?" With the reassurance that Zhao Letian posed no threat, Liu Fei finally relaxed.

"I don't know. Perhaps this brat carries some treasure that can conceal his cultivation aura, or maybe he has cultivated some secret technique or Divine Skill that allows him to hide his cultivation. But regardless of which it is, once he makes his move later, he won't be able to hide anymore. Then his cultivation level will be clear to us all," Shentu Yu said, his gaze towards Zhao Letian revealing a burning greed. Whether it was a treasure that could conceal cultivation or a secret technique or Divine Skill, it was an invaluable treasure that he was determined to obtain, even if it meant killing Zhao Letian again.

On the Life and Death Platform of Huangquan Island, Luo Hao was also taken aback by Zhao Letian's bold claim, showing a look of astonishment and confusion. Although he knew that Zhao Letian was not one to speak boastfully, he remembered that when Zhao Letian last came to fight for the island, his strength was only comparable to that of someone at Primordial Martial Seventh Realm. How could Zhao Letian have recovered to a strength capable of competing with him, even defeating him with a single sword strike, in just a few days' time?

"Zhao Letian, although you are the opponent I, Luo Hao, am most eager to defeat among the Outer Sect of the Galaxy Sect, I have always had great respect for you. At least, the former you, while boundlessly arrogant, never spoke without reason. Your arrogance was backed by arrogance, but today, you've disappointed me. Defeat me with a single sword strike? Not to mention the you of now, even you at your peak didn't have that capability. You are no longer worthy to be my opponent, Luo Hao. I will make you taste the most humiliating defeat here on the Life and Death Platform!" Luo Hao was angry and disappointed, the True Yuan Power surging on his giant blade, its leaking ripples caused the Primordial Martial Realm people below to change color in alarm and immediately back away a certain distance.

"A One-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact? This blade is indeed good. After I defeat you, I'll take it as a trophy," Zhao Letian said with a calm smile, and suddenly a powerful surge of Primordial Energy welled up on his green Longsword.

"Primordial Martial Seventh Realm? A Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact?"

Sensing Zhao Letian's cultivation and the grade of the green Longsword in his hand, the expressions on the faces of the people present instantly turned very vivid - with surprise, shock, envy, and greed.

The crowd couldn't believe it. Zhao Letian, who had just claimed he would defeat Luo Hao with a single sword strike, turned out to have only the cultivation of Primordial Martial Seventh Realm. With such cultivation, wanting to defeat Luo Hao was simply a fool's dream. Contentsourcedfrom*–MyVirtualLibraryEmpire.

What surprised the crowd even more was that despite Zhao Letian's modest cultivation, the grade of the Spiritual Artifact in his hand was frighteningly high. A Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact was something that many True Martial Realm Inner Sect Disciples in the skies didn't even possess.

Even the Golden Flying Sword under Shentu Yu's feet was only a Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact. Of course, with Shentu Yu's strength and status, he naturally had better Spiritual Artifacts. But he chose to use the golden Flying Sword because its bright light looked very prestigious and beautiful, and thus, he used it for transport.

"Such a Spiritual Artifact, in his hands, can't exert much power; it's simply a waste of heavenly resources and should belong to us, the True Martial Realm Inner Sect Disciples."

The True Martial Realm Inner Sect Disciples controlling the Spiritual Artifacts, floating in the air, all greedily thought, and even some of the Primordial Martial Realm Outer Sect Disciples on the ground, with higher cultivation than Zhao Letian, also coveted the Three-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact in Zhao Letian's hands.
