"Xing Jue, come here." While everyone was confused, the Sect Leader suddenly looked at Xing Jue.
"As expected, the Sect Leader will not let him go. Let's see what he can do now."
"That's right. What's the use of roping in some small forces? He's a disgrace to the Hermit Peak. "
At this moment, a smile of schadenfreude appeared on the corners of the mouths of those people who were waiting for the punishment to be humiliated. They were waiting for the arrival of a good show.
Xing Jue knew what they were thinking when he saw their eyes. However, Xing Jue did not care about this at all. He swaggered past them and walked to the front of the hall.
"Xing Jue, rumor has it that you defeated Fang Tianhua. Is that true?" the Sect Leader asked.
"Yes, Sect Leader. That day, Wu Yuan from the Dragon Sect and Yao Ting from the Flower Valley saw it with their own eyes." Xing Jue did not hide anything. At this point, he had to tell them everything. It was destined that he could no longer hide his strength.
"Humph, nonsense. With your strength as a High Level Asura Martial Master, how can you defeat Fang Tianhua, who is a High Level Asura Wu Zun?" As soon as Xing Jue finished speaking, Elder Taishi snorted coldly. His face was full of disbelief.
At this moment, although the Sect Leader did not say anything, Xing Jue could sense the doubt in his eyes. Almost everyone present doubted whether he could really defeat Fang Tianhua.
"Who said that I have the strength of a High Level Asura Martial Master?" Finally, Xing Jue spoke.
"What did you say? Are you hiding your strength? "Many people expressed their doubts.
"You are really boasting shamelessly. Do you think we are all fools? You are still not telling the truth in front of the Sect Leader? Tell us, who helped you defeat Fang Tianhua that day? "Elder Taishi spoke again. It seemed that he wanted to make things difficult for Xing Jue.
"Taishi, what do you mean? Are you trying to accuse Xing Jue of cheating? "Elder Zhuge was a little displeased.
"Senior Brother Zhuge, do you really think that your disciple can defeat High Shura Wu Zun with the strength of a High Shura Martial Master?"
"Do you really believe such a heaven-defying thing? Or are you doing this on purpose to protect him? "Elder Taishi snorted coldly.
"Bullshit! Am I, Zhuge Chang Qing, that kind of person?" Elder Zhuge was angered by Elder Taishi, and he actually cursed. At the same time, he released a majestic aura. It seemed that he was really angry.
"What? Do you want to fight just because you are unreasonable? "Elder Taishi was not afraid at all.
"Senior Brothers, there is no need to quarrel. Whether Xing Jue has the strength to defeat Fang Tianhua or not, why don't we let him show us?" At that moment, the Sect Leader spoke.
After hearing the Headmaster's words, Elder Zhuge was stunned. As for Elder Taishi, he had an expression as if his plot had succeeded. Moreover, many elders and disciples who wanted to see the Punishment Master make a fool of himself also had expressions of schadenfreude. That was because they had been waiting for the Headmaster to say those words.
"Xing Jue, it is not that we don't believe you. However, this matter concerns the reputation of the Hermit Peak. If you don't mind, why don't you show us your strength?" The Sect Leader said to Xing Jue with a smile. His tone was also very tactful.
"Sect Leader, actually, Xing Jue has the same intention," Xing Jue replied with a smile.
"Alright, regardless of whether you are hiding your strength or have special techniques, you don't have to hold back."
"Zhou Buran is your Senior Brother. I believe you know his strength. He is not any weaker than Fang Tianhua."
"If you have the strength to defeat Fang Tianhua, I believe it will not be a problem for you to fight with Zhou Buran." The Sect Leader actually wanted to let Xing Jue fight with Zhou Buran to test his strength.
At that moment, Zhou Buran's expression was a little ugly. Among the crowd, he was one of the few who believed that Xing Jue could defeat Fang Tianhua. However, as a true disciple of the Hermit Peak, he also had an extraordinary reputation. If he was really defeated by this Junior Brother Xing Jue, he would definitely feel a little embarrassed.
"Sect Leader, Xing Jue does not want to fight with Senior Brother Zhou." However, at that moment, Xing Jue said with some embarrassment.
"Huh? How about it? You don't dare? Are you feeling guilty? "As soon as Xing Jue said this, everyone in the hall sighed.
Even the Sect Leader frowned slightly. Then, he said in a serious tone, "Why?"
"Sect Leader, let's not talk about the fact that Senior Brother Zhou and I are from the same sect, so it is not appropriate for me to challenge him."
"Moreover, even if I really can defeat Senior Brother Zhou, I'm afraid there will be people who doubt whether I have the strength to defeat Fang Tianhua."
"On the World List, I believe Senior Brother Lu Yuan's strength is far above Fang Tianhua's. Today, Xing Jue is willing to challenge Senior Brother Lu Yuan. If he can defeat Senior Brother Lu Yuan, no one will doubt Xing Jue's strength," Xing Jue said.
"What? He wants to challenge Senior Brother Lu Yuan? "
"Oh my god, he's crazy. Doesn't he know Senior Brother Lu Yuan is a beginner Asura Martial God and ranked fourth on the World List?" As soon as Xing Jue said this, everyone was shocked. They looked at Xing Jue as if they were looking at a fool. Even the Sect Leader was shocked.
Only Lu Yuan's lips were twitching slightly. He already knew that Xing Jue was the bearded man from back then. He had also seen Xing Jue's true strength. Without revealing his true form, even he was not a match for Xing Jue.
However, his true body was a trump card that he had left behind. It was a trump card that he had prepared for the Five Fingers Peak Meeting two years later. Up until now, apart from Xing Jue, no one knew about his true body. Hence, he could not possibly use it at this time.
It was obvious that Xing Jue had seen through him. That was why he challenged him in the Seclusion Hall in front of the Sect Leader, his Master, and all the inherited Elders and true disciples. He wanted to embarrass him.
"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, would you like to spar with me?" Xing Jue looked at Lu Yuan with his slightly narrowed eyes. His face was full of sincerity and respect. However, Xing Jue's expression made Lu Yuan gnash his teeth in hatred. However, he did not dare to do anything.
"Heh … since Junior Brother Xing Jue is in such a good mood, I'm naturally willing to accompany you." In the end, Lu Yuan suppressed his anger and agreed with a kind smile.
Therefore, this seemingly great disparity in strength, but in reality, there was a mystery behind it. It was carried out in the Seclusion Hall.
"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, please show mercy."
At this moment, Xing Jue and Lu Yuan were standing in the barrier that the Sect Leader had personally set up. He looked extremely humble, but his face was full of confidence. There was even a smile on his face.
"Huhuhu ~ ~"
Lu Yuan hated Xing Jue very much. He was not willing to waste any more time talking to him. He immediately attacked. Countless huge meteors with terrifying flames gathered in the barrier.
"Heavens, it's actually a fiery meteor."
At that moment, everyone was shocked. As people of the Seclusion Peak, they naturally knew how terrifying the fiery meteors were. It was a mid King Tier Battle Skill, and its attack was extremely powerful.
Everyone knew that this was Lu Yuan's trump card, but they never thought that Lu Yuan would use such a killing move against a lowly existence like Xing Jue.
"Haa!"
No one knew how powerful Xing Jue was, but Lu Yuan clearly knew. Since he had already attacked, he did not hold back at all. He used his full strength, pushing the fiery meteors to the limit.
In that moment, countless fiery meteors rose up in the barrier and began to smash towards Xing Jue. Sparks flew in all directions as ripples appeared, illuminating the entire hall with a fiery red color.
Even though the barrier had blocked everything, everyone could still imagine how terrifying the attack was. It was a mid King Tier Battle Skill that had been cultivated to Major Accomplishment.
At that moment, everyone was shocked. Even the people who had been anticipating a good show were stunned. They could not understand why Lu Yuan would use such a forceful attack against Xing Jue. It was like making a mountain out of a molehill. It was incomprehensible.
Elder Zhuge, Zhou Buran, and the others all frowned. They began to worry for Xing Jue. Although they had some confidence in Xing Jue, they did not think that Xing Jue could defeat Lu Yuan. After all, they did not know Xing Jue's true strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But at that moment, the barrier that sealed off everything was no longer filled with sparks. Instead, it was filled with dazzling golden light. Clearly, an intense battle was taking place.
However, the barrier had cut off everything. Everyone could only see the ripples that constantly expanded, but they could not sense the power, nor could they sense the presences of the two people. They could only wait to see who would emerge victorious.
However, the powerful collision only lasted for a moment before dispersing. The flames and golden light disappeared, leaving behind only churning white steam. It filled the entire barrier and blocked everyone's vision.
"Is it over?"
"As expected, Xing Jue can't last more than two rounds against senior Lu Yuan," everyone came to this conclusion. They felt that Xing Jue had definitely been defeated by Lu Yuan.
"Sect leader, why don't you open the barrier?" At that moment, elder Zhuge roared out worriedly. He was truly afraid that something unexpected would happen.
"Senior Zhuge, even if you love your disciple, don't forget your status. How can you speak to the sect leader like that?"
As Lu Yuan's master, elder Taishi was currently smiling in satisfaction. However, he did not forget to make things difficult for elder Zhuge. Moreover, elder Zhuge was indeed rather impatient right now.
Hum.
However, the sect leader did not pursue the matter. Instead, he pointed with his finger and runes rose up. The powerful barrier began to disintegrate. At the same time, the surging steam that filled the barrier also dissipated.
"This …" When the steam completely dissipated, everyone present was shocked.
Because what appeared before their eyes was completely different from what they had imagined. There was indeed a person lying on the ground, and he was already unconscious. However, that person was not Xing Jue, but the number one true disciple of the seclusion division, Lu Yuan.
"Oh my god, senior Lu Yuan was defeated?"
"That Xing Jue is actually a high-level Asura Wu Zun. He really hid his strength. So he is not an Asura Martial Master at all."
At that moment, the entire Hermit Palace was in an uproar. When they saw Lu Yuan, who had fainted, and Xing Jue, who was unscathed and emitted the aura of a high-level Asura Wu Zun, they could not help but be shocked.
Xing Jue had defeated a pro-disciple of the Hermit Peak and Lu Yuan, who was ranked fourth on the World Ranking. Although they did not dare to believe it, when the truth was placed before them, they had no choice but to believe it.
The number one pro-disciple of the Hermit Peak was about to change, and the World Ranking was about to change. The person who changed everything was a disciple who had only been in the Hermit Peak for a year, Xing Jue.
