Not to be outdone, the giant lumberman caught the cauldron with one hand as easily as if it was a toy. He even tossed it in his hand to display his godly strength before tossing it at Li Qingshan.
"Be careful!" Hwa Seung-zan shouted. The cauldron enlarged in the air.
Li Qingshan caught it and felt that it was indeed much heavier, but he did not care. He tossed it at the giant lumberman, and the cauldron enlarged again in the air.
The cauldron was tossed back and forth between the two of them, growing larger and larger. Li Qingshan had to use both hands to catch it. Many of the Qi Practitioners were dumbfounded. Was he still human with such strength?
Even if they used talismans or spells to increase strength, they could not do it so easily.
Only the body practitioners could see the knack of it, and they were impressed. They did not expect this young man's body tempering technique to be so powerful that he could compete with the giant lumberman in terms of strength.
Begonia frowned slightly. Where did this kid come from? His body tempering technique was so powerful.
One had to know that the body tempering technique was not something that could be cultivated with one or two secret manuals or hidden in the mountains. The need for various medicinal pills was greater than that of the Qi Practitioner technique.
Originally, he was certain that he would win this battle of strength, but now he was completely unsure of it.
The surrounding Qi Practitioners held their breaths as they watched the cauldron fly back and forth nervously. The giant lumberman had already lost one round. If he lost another, all the spirit stones they had bet would be for naught.
The giant lumberman caught the cauldron again. His face was flushed, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His body was drenched in sweat, and he was completely sober. The cauldron had grown to three times its original size and weighed heavily on his shoulder. He panted heavily, and even he began to feel the strain.
On the other hand, Li Qingshan had also taken off his clothes, revealing his bronze body. His bronze-colored body did not have a trace of excess fat, unlike the giant lumberman. His muscles were bulging. Instead, they were perfectly streamlined, as if they were made of metal. If the strength that the Ox Demon gave him was a piece of iron, then the Tiger Demon forged the iron into a steel blade.
He did not sweat at all, and did not seem to be losing. In terms of strength alone. He might not be stronger than the giant lumberman, but he had endurance and tenacity. It was not something that any body cultivator could compare to.
At this point, the outcome of the battle was already not far from being decided.
The giant lumberman made up his mind and roared. He gathered all his strength. He threw the cauldron out.
The huge cauldron whistled towards Li Qingshan with the force of wind and thunder.
"Quick, dodge!" Han Qiongzhi exclaimed.
Hwa Seung-zan's expression changed slightly, but he still increased the size of the cauldron. If he didn't do this, it would be unfair. He could only make Li Qingshan forfeit this match.
"If the cauldron falls to the ground, it's considered a loss. Fellow Daoist Li, you should catch it." Begonia smiled charmingly. It could be seen that the two of them were already at their limits. If Li Qingshan didn't receive it, he would lose. If he received it head-on, it would be even better. Even if he didn't die, he would be heavily injured, and he would definitely lose the third round.
Li Qingshan turned a deaf ear to these voices. He focused his gaze, sank his qi into his dantian, and reached out towards the huge cauldron that was whistling towards him.
The huge cauldron crashed into Li Qingshan, and there were gasps all around.
Li Qingshan felt a huge force coming from the huge cauldron. If he could transform into his demon form, this force would not be much, but with his human form, it was a bit difficult. He gritted his teeth, and his dantian's sea of qi started to spin. Streams of true qi rushed out and flowed towards his limbs and bones, turning into waves of soft, water-like force, which dissolved the impact of the huge cauldron.
Li Qingshan was pushed back more than ten steps by the huge cauldron. His feet dragged two deep tracks on the ground. He pushed with his right foot, and suddenly stopped his body. With a crack, the sole of his foot sank into the ground.
Li Qingshan held the huge cauldron firmly. He grinned and shouted, "Here you go!" He suddenly took a step forward, gathered all the strength in his body, swung his arms, and threw the huge cauldron.
The huge cauldron flew out with an even more ferocious force than when it came. The giant lumberman's eyes were filled with fear. He looked at Begonia, roared, and reached out with both hands, ready to die.
The moment his hands touched the huge cauldron, he knew that this force was not something he could withstand. His internal organs were about to be crushed, and he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
A strong wind blew in his face, but there was no impact. He opened his eyes, and the huge cauldron suddenly stopped in front of him, only a few feet away.
The giant lumberman blinked, as if wondering what was going on. He looked down, and saw a young man in black catching the huge cauldron in his hands.
The young man in black turned around, revealing a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. However, his face seemed to be made of ice, and there was a sense of coldness.
He said coldly, "Let's stop here. You've already lost."
The giant lumberman looked disappointed, but he looked at the young man in black gratefully. If it were not for this young man in black, he might not have been able to keep his life.
The young man in black threw the huge cauldron to Hwa Seung-zan. The cauldron flew into Hwa Seung-zan's hands, and returned to the size of a palm. He guided his True Qi and sent it into his hundred treasures pouch. He said to the young man in black who suddenly appeared, "Tieyi, why are you here?"
Han Qiongzhi waved and said, "Hey, brother!"
The young man in black did not seem to see them, and turned to look at Li Qingshan. He said coldly, "Not bad at body refinement."
"Well said!" Li Qingshan saw it very clearly. Just Now, after he threw the cauldron, the young man in black came out from the side. Like an agile black panther, he caught the cauldron even though he moved later. His body was so strong that even Li Qingshan was a little surprised. Could this be the legendary body refinement cultivator?
When the young man in black caught the cauldron, he did not take it forcefully. Instead, he gently pushed the cauldron, and used a skillful force to show off his extremely high martial arts skills.
Hwa Seung-zan seemed to be used to the young man's coldness. He introduced, "The first seat of the school of the Military, Han Tieyi. The person who said I'm the strongest under Foundation Building must have never seen him before."
Li Qingshan nodded slightly, agreeing with Hwa Seung-zan. Not only was Han Tieyi's body strong, his cultivation level was also at the tenth layer of the Qi Practitioner. Cultivating both at the same time, it would be hard for any Qi Practitioner to be his match. He cupped his hands and said, "Li Qingshan!"
Han Tieyi ignored him. He turned to the frowning Begonia and said, "How many spirit stones is this inhuman worth? I'll buy it! "
Hwa Seung-zan sighed softly, "Haitang, you've lost."
Begonia clenched and unclenched her fists, as if she was unwilling to accept this result. In the end, she sighed and said, "Fine, Li Qingshan, the grudge between you and the school is written off. You'd better not appear in front of me again."
If she insisted that it was Han Tieyi who interrupted the competition, she could drag it to the third round. However, she was not the kind of woman who would pester endlessly. Moreover, based on Li Qingshan's performance Just Now, even if he dragged it to the third round, it would still be difficult for him to win. Instead, it would be better for her to admit defeat. However, that Dao Accumulation Pill really made her heart ache. She hated Li Qingshan so much that she gnashed her teeth.
Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Let's hope the heavens do as they wish!" With a few thousand spirit stones in his account and the Dao Accumulation Pill in his hands, he would probably be able to knock on the door leading to the realm of Daemon General! As for whether or not he would appear in front of her, it was not up to her to decide.
"Good lad, well done!" Han Qiongzhi came over and patted Li Qingshan's shoulder.
The contempt in the eyes of the legalism disciples completely disappeared. Just based on the strength of the cauldron tossing alone, there were not many among them who were a match for him. To be praised by the bone-chilling Han Tieyi was extremely rare. No wonder Hwa Seung-zan valued him so much.
Even Wu Gen could not help but admit that this country bumpkin truly was extraordinary. He glanced at Qian Rongzhi with mixed emotions, but all he saw was her smile. She did not show any great joy at all. Her demeanour particularly tempted him.
Some people were happy, while others were worried. As Begonia admitted defeat, the entire building was in an uproar.
They had thought that they would definitely win the bet, but they had actually lost. Furthermore, they had lost so thoroughly that they did not even get to the third round.
"This won't do. This is a trap. Refund the spirit stones!" someone shouted.
This immediately won a lot of responses, and they loudly shouted for the door to refund the spirit stones. Many Qi warriors had thrown out hundreds of spirit stones. For many Qi warriors, that was their entire fortune. How could they bear to see all of it vanish in the blink of an eye?
"Does anyone doubt my notarization?" The smile on Hwa Seung-zan's face disappeared. He raised his head and looked around. Wherever his gaze swept past, the clamoring immediately subsided.
…
"Brother Tian, we lost."
"Forget it. It's just a thousand spirit stones. It's nothing." The white-robed young man pretended not to care, but his heart felt like it was bleeding. He had not brought many spirit stones with him when he came to the Hundred Schools of Thought. Now, almost half of them were gone. He muttered, "Li Qingshan!" and stormed off with a wave of his sleeve.
"How many spirit stones?" Han Tieyi asked Begonia again. He was determined to get that mutant.
"Since you, Tieyi, want him, how can I accept your spirit stones? Take him away!" Begonia threw out a contract.
The giant lumberman stared at the thin piece of paper. He almost couldn't help but reach out to grab it. However, even if he grabbed it and tore it up, it would not have any effect.
Hwa Seung-zan said, "My bet is off. Consider it as me buying this mutant."
Li Qingshan thought to himself, "This Brother Hua is really rich. He didn't want a few thousand spirit stones just like that. It shows that his relationship with Han Tieyi is not ordinary."
Begonia glared at Hwa Seung-zan and said, "I said I'm giving it to Tieyi, so I'm giving it to Tieyi. Even if you want your bet, I won't give it to you."
Han Tieyi took the contract. His expression was still cold. He didn't thank Hwa Seung-zan or Begonia. He just waved his hand and the contract immediately turned into powder.
He even said to the giant lumberman, "You're free now. Come to the Hundred Schools of Thought the day after tomorrow and join the School of Military." It was a command, cold and unquestionable.
He looked at Li Qingshan and then at Hwa Seung-zan. He didn't say anything and walked away.
Hwa Seung-zan touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "At least he gave me some face. He didn't steal my disciple."
That was giving him face? Li Qingshan realized that it was not that Han Tieyi didn't give him face. Just Now, he was born with a dead face and didn't give a damn about anyone. He also noticed that Han Tieyi's stride length and frequency were always the same. There was no difference at all. It was as precise and monotonous as a clock. Was this the demeanor of a disciple of the School of Military?
Maybe the School of Military was a good choice.
