The corner of Xiao Qin's mouth twitched.
Did they want him to challenge a group of people, or a group of people to challenge him?
Even though they weren't too strong, every single one of them was glaring at Zhang Xuan covetously, and their auras were like that of a dragon's … Didn't they come from a small place? Didn't they travel all the way here?
Why didn't they look tired at all? Instead, when they heard that there was going to be a competition, all of them were full of excitement, as if they had met a weak chicken?
"I am a Saint 1-dan pinnacle cultivator. Is there anyone who is on par with me?"
Xiao Qin said.
Since he wanted to test the other party's strength, it would be fairer to find someone of similar strength so that he could exert his full fighting prowess. Otherwise, suppressing his cultivation and knowledge would be an obvious form of bullying. Of course, the other party wouldn't be so shameless as to gang up on him.
"Saint 1-dan?"
Ruohuan gongzi frowned.
Most of the members of the Xuanxuan Faction were freshmen, and it had only been a few months since the start of the school term. No matter how fast their cultivation was, they could only reach Perfect Harmonization realm at the very most. As for those who had reached Saint realm … Un, there was one of them!
"Invite Senior Qiqi over!" Zhang Xuan turned around and instructed.
A young man ran out, and it did not take long for Luo Qiqi to arrive before him.
So far, other than the strongest member of the Xuanxuan Faction, Zhang Xuan, he was the only other person who was capable of such a feat.
"My apologies, but the only Saint 1-dan pinnacle cultivator in our Xuanxuan Faction is Senior Qiqi. Why don't you … have a duel with her?"
Ruohuan gongzi felt a little embarrassed.
While Luo Qiqi was also a member of the Xuanxuan Faction, she had received the personal guidance of Principal Zhang, so her cultivation and experience were far superior to theirs. Sending her out to face the Xuanxuan Faction was a little too much.
"Battle against girls?"
Xiao Qin frowned.
He was an unparalleled genius of the Combat Master Hall. Be it in terms of zhenqi, physical strength, speed, or reflexes, he was far superior to those of his generation. Yet, he was being looked down on by picking a random young lady to spar with him!
"What's wrong with being a girl?" Luo Qiqi harrumphed coldly before beckoning with her hand. "Make your move!"
"Since that's the case, I'll accept your offer! But don't worry, if you can't catch it, I will stop … "
Seeing the other party's insistence, Xiao Qin sighed and bowed in a gentlemanly manner. Then, with a flick of his palm, he infused zhenqi into his body, and an overwhelming aura surged into his body.
Hu!
Zhang Xuan took a step forward.
He was a Thousand-man Commander of the Martial Arts Hall, and he was most proficient in martial arts. Even though it was just a light step, it contained seven to eight transformations. His figure was fleeting, and it was as if he had created several identical shadows in an instant, making it difficult for others to tell which direction he was going to attack.
Martial Skill, Thousand Illusionary Steps!
Thousand Footsteps Phantasm was a technique created by a Primordial Spirit realm elder of the Combat Master Hall two thousand years ago. Once executed, one would be able to create a series of afterimages, making it difficult for one to discern which was which, thus making it easy for one to fall for it.
Although his opponent was a girl, he still used his full strength without holding anything back.
The motto of the Combat Master Hall was never to underestimate any opponent!
Huala!
Activating Thousand Footsteps Phantom, he used his fingers as a sword, and two of his fingers shot forward like a venomous snake.
This was also a Martial Technique called the Hidden Dragon Rises from the Sea. Its speed was fast and accurate, like a dragon or snake leaping about, impossible to guard against.
Even in the Combat Master Hall, there were few who could defeat him in the same cultivation realm.
"Not bad!"
With a light chuckle, the young lady before him made her move. She did not use any battle technique, nor did she make any excessive movements. All she did was spread open her palm and strike downward.
It was a simple palm strike!
However, for some reason, even though it seemed simple, Xiao Qin felt that his movement technique and moves were completely suppressed by the other party. It felt like no matter where he ran to, he would never be able to dodge her attack.
"What kind of move is this?"
Xiao Qin narrowed his eyes, and cold sweat trickled down his back.
The other party's move might have seemed simple, but she was actually able to see through all of his moves. No matter how he tried to change his moves, there would only be one outcome … he would be sent flying with a single slap.
"I can only face her head-on then …"
As expected of a genius of the Combat Master Hall. Knowing that it was impossible for him to dodge the attack, he could only continue using the same move. Thus, gritting his teeth, he raised his palms and faced the other party's attack head-on.
Since there was no way to dodge, he would just have to face her head-on!
Even though he was no match for those monsters from the Defense Hall, his zhenqi and physical body had still reached a balance. In a direct clash, he would not lose out to anyone in the same cultivation realm as him. Not to mention, his opponent was a young lady, and it was unlikely that she would excel in strength.
Hu!
Just as Xiao Qin was about to clash with the other party's palms, he suddenly realized that the other party's figure had already disappeared from his sight.
"This is bad …"
Xiao Qin's goosebumps rose, and cold sweat trickled down his back.
The move that the other party had forced him to face head-on was actually … a feint!
"AHHH!"
With a loud roar, Xiao Qin hurriedly retracted his attack and slapped it backward.
His movements were swift, but the other party was even faster. He felt a powerful force crushing down on his back, threatening to tear apart his internal organs before it even landed.
"I won't make it in time …"
Knowing that the other party had the upper hand, Xiao Qin would surely be severely injured by the time his palm struck, so he hurriedly drove his zhenqi to his back. At this point, he could only endure the attack head-on and think of a way to counterattack.
Gugu!
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Qin thought that the other party's attack would surely be a devastating one. However, the aura behind him abruptly vanished, and all of the pressure and attacks vanished without a trace.
Turning around, he saw that the young lady had already retreated eight steps, and she was standing quietly on the spot, as if she had never launched an attack at all.
"You've lost!"
Luo Qiqi said calmly.
"Pu!"
Right after those words were spoken, Xiao Qin's face turned ghastly pale, and a spurt of blood spurted from his mouth. At this moment, he felt as if all of his strength had been sapped dry, and he found himself unable to stand still.
Even though the other party hadn't exchanged a single blow with him, she had managed to drive the zhenqi in his body, and the backlash from forcefully retracting his zhenqi twice was too much for him to bear.
Just through her eye of discernment and experience, she was able to severely injure him, nearly killing him on the spot. This young lady's comprehension of battle techniques and combat was truly fearsome!
They weren't even on the same level!
"I've lost!" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Qin suppressed the pain in his body and stood up with a dejected look on his face.
Initially, he didn't think much of the Master Teacher Academy, thinking that it was an exaggeration. However, only after crossing blows with them did he realize how fearsome they were.
If even a random young lady couldn't withstand his attacks, he really couldn't imagine how strong the others would be!
"Actually, your zhenqi, physical body, speed, and reaction aren't too bad. The main problem is that your battle techniques are too weak!"
Seeing the disappointment on Xiao Qin's face, Luo Qiqi consoled.
"My battle techniques are too weak?"
Hearing those words, Xiao Qin's lips twitched, and he felt as if he had suffered an even greater blow.
He was the most renowned genius of the Combat Master Hall's Martial Arts Division. Despite being at Saint 1-dan, he had already grasped four Saint realm battle techniques, making him a rare genius in the entire Combat Master Hall.
It could be said that, other than the Thousand Men Commanders, there was no one in the Martial Arts Division who could surpass him in terms of comprehension of battle techniques …
Under such circumstances, the other party actually said that his battle techniques were too weak. This was no different from a slap to his face!
"You don't believe me?" Luo Qiqi chuckled softly. "You can ask any of the students here and have them comment on what went wrong with your battle earlier!"
"Comment? Are they going to comment on me? "Shaking his head, Xiao Qin scanned the surroundings.
Most of the cultivators in the surroundings were beneath Perfect Harmonization realm, and there were even a few who were only at Consonant Spirit realm. If it had been in the past, he wouldn't have even spared a glance at them. To have them comment on him …
Would they be able to comprehend the profundity of his moves?
Would they be able to comprehend the profundity of his battle techniques?
Comment!
You must be joking!
"Why? Do you think that they aren't strong enough to see through the flaws in your battle techniques?" Luo Qiqi shook her head. "It's not that I want to discourage you, but given your current strength and comprehension of battle techniques, even if you were to suppress your cultivation, you wouldn't be able to last more than two moves against any one of them!"
"Any one of them? Please don't be too full of yourself! "Xiao Qin's complexion turned awful.
No matter what, he was an expert of the Combat Master Hall. For him to be unable to last more than two moves against a random person who hadn't even reached Perfect Harmonization realm yet … this was blatant disdain!
"Senior Luo Qiqi is right, your cultivation is indeed very weak."
"You aren't a match for us if you suppress your cultivation!"
"We aren't lying to you, your comprehension of battle techniques is simply too weak …"
Seeing the indignant look on Xiao Qin's face, the crowd hurriedly tried to console him.
They had thought that they would be able to find some kind of expert to satisfy their curiosity, but who could have thought that the other party would be so weak? In truth, they were quite disappointed.
Since they were here to challenge him, why didn't they send a few slightly stronger ones instead?
Given how weak the fellow's comprehension of battle techniques was, wasn't he just asking for a beating?
Sigh, he was simply too weak!
Everyone felt a wave of melancholy wash over them.
"You all … Fine, I thought that I would be bullying you all by suppressing my cultivation, but since that's the case, come at me then!"
Seeing how the crowd sighed and looked at him as though he was a weakling, Xiao Qin was on the verge of exploding. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he swallowed a recovery pill and recovered from his injuries. Roaring furiously, he suppressed his aura to Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle.
"I have already suppressed my cultivation. Is there anyone who wishes to challenge me?"
Ruohuan Feng glanced at the crowd coldly.
"Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle? Most of the cultivators here are at the same cultivation realm, so feel free to pick anyone you like … "
Seeing that Xiao Qin still wanted to challenge him, Ruohuan gongzi shook his head and turned to look at the crowd.
"Alright!"
Seeing how the manager of the Xuanxuan Faction was so confident, allowing him to pick anyone he liked, Xiao Qin felt as though he had been slapped on his face once more. Gritting his teeth furiously, he casually pointed to an unremarkable-looking person who seemed to be in his early twenties. His face was fair and clean, and he seemed to be a little shy.
"You wish to challenge me?" Upon being pointed out, the person walked out, seemingly having been struck by a fortune packet.
"Yes!"
Xiao Qin flung his hands.
"I can fight you, but you are injured at the moment. If I were to fight you like that, it would be a little too much …"
After a moment of hesitation, a brilliant idea flashed across the eyes of the fair young man. With a serious look on his face, he said, "I will tie my hands together so that I won't have to use my hands to fight you … This way, it will be fair!"
