Chapter 290: On Par with the Top Ten on the Heavenly Ranking

Song Tianming seized the most important opportunity, his whole body was full of energy, and he released the most terrifying and powerful thunder slash.

This slash was fierce and powerful, almost comparable to the full-strength attack of a late-stage Earth Realm master, and was the strongest attack Song Tianming could make at this moment.

The attack time Song Tianming found was too sensitive and important, Zhao Gong was almost unable to defend, and was caught off guard. The tenacious dragon turtle beast was directly torn in half, and Zhao Gong's body was also pierced by thunder and cracked all over.

However, even with this serious injury, Zhao Gong did not die, but was seriously injured and lay on the ground motionless.

The onlookers were amazed. Song Tianming really won. Zhao Gong was a leader in the top of the Heavenly Ranking, ranking higher than Luo Zichen. He was hailed as the most outstanding genius of the Zhao family after Zhao Chuanxiong. His future must be to carry the banner of his century-old family.

But now, Zhao Gong was defeated, defeated by Song Tianming head-on, without any fancy tricks, only showing the most primitive violence and strength gap.

The elders of Dengtian Sect looked at each other, their eyes full of unbelievable shock.

Among them, there are many seniors who have experienced vicissitudes and witnessed countless storms, but they never expected that Song Tianming, who usually does not show his talent, could burst out such earth-shaking power.

The disciples of Dengtian Sect exclaimed again and again, and the discussion rose and fell, like a spring tide, and every syllable was full of amazement and admiration for Song Tianming's leap in strength.

And in this boiling, a shadow quietly spread.

Song Tianming's enemies, those monks who had a feud with him, all gnashed their teeth at this moment, with flames of jealousy and unwillingness flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to deeply engrave this humiliation in their hearts, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate in the future.

In their hearts, they not only felt resentment towards Song Tianming's rise, but also felt helpless about their inability to stop it.

As for Zhao Gong's cousin Zhao Chuanxiong, his reaction was even more intense.

He was shocked, his eyes widened with anger, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, burning and twisting the air around him.

Zhao Chuanxiong's anger was not only because of Zhao Gong's defeat, but also because of the damage to the family's honor represented by this defeat.

Zhao Chuanxiong knew that in the world of cultivation, where the strong are respected, the success or failure of one person often affects the rise and fall of the entire family.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxiong's heart was filled with hatred for Song Tianming. This hatred was like a venomous snake, and he vowed to return today's shame a hundredfold in a more violent way one day in the future.

Zhao Chuanxiong roared heartbreakingly. Zhao Gong was a member of his clan that he had cultivated with all his efforts. In the future, he was a talented young man who would take over from him to protect the Zhao family and was highly expected.

But now, Zhao Gong was defeated, and he was defeated by Song Tianming, the person who should not have been defeated the most. This was really hard for Zhao Chuanxiong to accept.

Zhao Zilin laughed heartily. Song Tianming was really beyond his expectation. He even defeated Zhao Gong, the top disciple of the inner sect. His future achievements were simply immeasurable.

Song Tianling, Guan Yulin and others were sincerely happy for Song Tianming. They hugged and cried, and were very excited.

After Zhao Gong was defeated, he staggered, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and disbelief.

The clamor and cheers around him turned into harsh noises at this moment, making Zhao Gong feel even more depressed.

"Song Tianming..." He whispered in a low voice. This name was like a huge stone, pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Zhao Gong knew that today's defeat was not only a defeat in a battle, but also a heavy blow to his long-term efforts and beliefs.

However, Zhao Gong was not a man who gave up easily. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes like torches, piercing through the noise of the crowd, and stared directly at Song Tianming.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Gong's mouth, which was a complex emotion mixed with unwillingness, anger and determination.

"Today's humiliation, I, Zhao Gong, will remember it in my heart!" Although Zhao Gong's voice was not loud, every word was sonorous and powerful, as if it could penetrate everyone's heart.

"Song Tianming, although you may have defeated me for a while, you can't win for the rest of your life. I, Zhao Gong, will definitely challenge you again in a stronger attitude one day in the future, find back everything I lost, and let everyone know who is the real strong man!"

After Zhao Gong said those resounding and ruthless words, his body slowly turned, and every step seemed extremely heavy, but also extremely firm. His hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, revealing his inner unwillingness and anger. There was a complex light flashing in his eyes, both unwillingness to fail and expectation and determination for future challenges.

After saying this, Zhao Gong turned and left, his back looked particularly lonely and determined.

Zhao Gong knew that today's failure was only temporary. As long as he didn't give up, he would be able to make a comeback one day and wipe out the shame.

And this unwillingness and determination will also become the most powerful driving force for Zhao Gong's future cultivation, pushing him forward until he reaches the unreachable peak.

Zhao Gong raised his head slightly, his eyes passed through the crowd, as if he had seen the future self who could defeat Song Tianming and regain glory.

In the process of leaving, a cold and resolute look gradually emerged on Zhao Gong's face.

It was an expression of not giving up after failure and preparing to be reborn in adversity.

Zhao Gong's mouth was tightly pursed, revealing a determination to never give up until the goal is achieved.

However, Song Tianming was very indifferent to Zhao Gong's unwillingness. He raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "Zhao Gong, you said you want to challenge me again to get back your place. I, Song Tianming, have never been afraid of any challenge, but once you are defeated by me, you will be defeated by me for life. You have no chance of turning over. In the future, I will only move faster and make it difficult for you to catch up with me."

Song Tianming was extremely confident, like a young supreme being, which made Zhao Gong feel ashamed.

But Zhao Gong was also a super genius who rose from countless battles. His Tao heart was not so easy to break.

"Song Tianming, let's go and see. The road ahead is still long. Let's see who can laugh last."

Zhao Gong walked away completely. He wanted to practice, to practice in secret, to completely digest the magical powers of the Black Tortoise, and then return in an invincible posture to completely defeat Song Tianming and wipe out today's shame.

After defeating Zhao Gong, Song Tianming continued to move forward.

The 30th step of the Heavenly Ladder was already deserted. Those who could reach here were all outstanding people in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking. Each of them was a super genius that could shake the cultivation world in the northern part of the Qiongbei Territory.

Among them, only Song Tianming was an outlier.

A newcomer who had just entered the Heavenly Ranking Sect for less than a month could actually be on par with the top talents in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking and reach the 30th step of the Heavenly Ladder. This was unprecedented and will never be repeated.
