Zhao Xingmo and the two young men in charge of the examination were also rendered speechless by the sight before them.
They had seen with their own eyes how monstrous Zhang Xuan was. Even if Liu Chongxin had some talent, he was still far from matching up to Zhang Xuan.
Despite the huge gap between them, Zhang Xuan's body was still trembling uncontrollably, unable to retaliate at all … There was no way they would believe this to be real.
"It's a pity that Liu Chongxin snatched it away … If only I knew that he's so weak, I would have gone up!"
"I've lost this opportunity, and I'm not fated with the Tianchen Brew anymore …"
Contrary to their thoughts, the other young men were filled with regret upon seeing this sight.
According to what Pavilion Master Yue had said, Zhang Xuan was the strongest expert in his eyes. After all, five concentrated high-tier spirit stones was not a small sum …
They had thought that Zhang Xuan was an expert among experts, but who could have thought that he would be so weak?
Huala!
While everyone had different thoughts, Liu Chongxin, who was in the middle, roared and pounced toward Zhang Xuan.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if he had grown eight arms, and the howling of the wind filled the surroundings.
Saint intermediate-tier battle technique, Eight-Armed Ape!
This move was powerful and swift. It felt as if a torrential storm had descended upon one, making it impossible for one to guard against it.
It seemed like he had already 'seen' through Zhang Shi's true strength, and he was intending to end the battle swiftly.
"You …"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's sudden burst of strength, Zhang Shi's face paled in fright, and he subconsciously curled his body into a ball.
Since he was unable to withstand Zhang Xuan's attack, he decided to take it head-on with his back.
This was the most passive way of fighting, and he was already at his wit's end.
"Can someone like that be considered a genius?"
Pavilion Master Yue sneered coldly.
Song shi had sent a message over saying that he had suffered a setback in the hands of a person named Zhang Xuan, and he had even been crippled into a eunuch. He had thought that the other party would be a formidable opponent, but who could have thought that … the other party would be so weak!
It seemed like he wouldn't have to make a move at all. This time, he would be severely injured by Liu Chongxin.
"Ahhh …"
Shaking his head, Pavilion Master Yue picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, the curled up Zhang Xuan suddenly lost balance, and he staggered forward.
This time, by moving his head forward, it was equivalent to directly charging into the opponent's palm wind. It was completely an action of courting death!
However … Liu Chongxin's face warped in horror. He immediately tried to retreat, but it was already too late. The other party's head struck Liu Chongxin's chest, and his body stiffened. A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, he was sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground. His vision darkened, and he passed out.
"Uh …"
Zhang Xuan didn't think that he would be able to send a person flying just from his fall. Feeling giddy, he stood up and spun around twice on the spot with a look of disbelief on his face, "I … won?"
"This …"
He didn't know what was going on, but the people around him all widened their eyes.
"Liu Chongxin's Eight-Armed Ape is extremely ferocious, but in truth, it's just to hide the mingmen in front of his chest. It's like a crab that has powerful pincers, but once its spine is grabbed, it's basically a decoration! This guy panicked and fell down, and just happened to dodge the opponent's eight arms attack, and hit this flaw … What dog shit luck! "
"My luck is indeed good … However, the Tianchen Brew isn't something that can be drunk just because you are lucky. Strength is also required!"
…
Soon, the crowd came to their senses, and their faces were filled with disdain.
To think that this fellow would be able to win through sheer luck.
"I've won. These concentrated high-tier spirit stones are mine!"
Finally coming to a realization, Zhang Xuan excitedly stowed the concentrated high-tier spirit stones on the table into his storage ring before raising his wine cup and saying, "Everyone, I believe that you have all witnessed my strength, right? Since that's the case, allow me to enjoy this cup of fine wine!"
"Witnessed your strength?"
"How can he be so thick-skinned?"
"It's as if he wasn't the one who screamed earlier. To think that he would dare to act so arrogantly after winning by sheer luck …"
"I can't hold it in anymore! I want to have a duel with him!"
Hearing those words, a huge commotion broke out amidst the crowd.
Pah! Yun shi slammed his palm on the table, and he stood up once more.
"Liu Chongxin might have lost, but I haven't. Here are five concentrated high-tier spirit stones. If I lose, I'll give them to you. If I win, the wine is mine!"
Yun shi walked to the center of the room and narrowed his eyes.
If he had known that Zhang Xuan was so weak, he would have long charged at him instead of waiting until now.
"You still want to duel?" Zhang Xuan shook his head in horror. "Forget it. I've just fought a battle, and I've expended a lot of energy."
"Expended a lot of energy?"
Yun shi clenched his jaws tightly.
If there was anyone who had expended a lot of energy, it was Liu Chongxin who had expended a lot of energy, alright? You were the one who sent Zhang Xuan flying with your head, and you didn't use any zhenqi at all. How could you possibly have expended a lot of energy?
"That's right … Forget it!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand as he raised the Tianchen Brew once more, ready to gulp it down at any moment.
"How about this? I'll give you some time to rest. Here are ten concentrated high-tier spirit stones. If I lose, I'll give them to you. If I win, I'll take the Tianchen Brew!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was feeling a little guilty, Yun shi flicked his wrist and took out two jade boxes. With a flick of his finger, they flew over and landed on the table. "Are you afraid? For Pavilion Master Yue to praise him so highly, could he be a coward? "
"This …" Zhang Xuan lowered his head to take a look.
Zhang Xuan lowered his head to take a look. It was hard to tell whether it was because he had too many concentrated high-tier spirit stones or because he had listened to Yun shi's words, but he hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath. Gritting his teeth, he seemed to have made a huge decision.
"Fine, I'll have a battle with you. However, the prerequisite is that you have to suppress your cultivation to the same level as me!"
"No problem. Unlike Liu Shi, I want to use a weapon!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had agreed to it, Yun shi's lips crept up. With a flick of his wrist, a meteor hammer appeared in his grasp.
Saint intermediate-tier artifact, the Violetgold Meteor Hammer!
"You want to use a weapon?" Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Are you certain that you want to use it?"
"Of course!"
Yun shi replied with a smile.
"Alright then!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan walked to the center of the room and asked, "Is this meteor hammer your weapon?"
"That's right!"
Yun shi replied proudly.
This was a weapon that he had obtained by a stroke of luck, and it had never failed him. Even though Zhang Xuan had managed to defeat Liu Chongxin through trickery, at the cost of ten concentrated high-tier spirit stones, he dared not let down his guard. Thus, he took out his weapon.
With this weapon in hand, even a Quasi Leaving Aperture realm expert would not have to fear him, let alone a mere Primordial Spirit realm intermediate stage cultivator.
"I have a weapon as well, but it seems to be a little heavy. I might not be able to control my strength well in a battle!"
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before looking at Yun shi hesitantly.
"Heavy weapon? You want to compete with me in terms of weapon weight? Hahaha … Don't worry, I like heavy weapons the most.
Hearing those words, Yun shi nearly fainted from laughter.
Is there something wrong with this fellow's head?
What I use is a meteor hammer … Compared to my weight …
With a single strike, be it a sword, saber, or spear, they would only be able to defend passively!
Compared to my weight …
He had lived for many years and fought in countless battles, but this was the first time he had seen a weapon that was heavier than his.
"Since that's the case, let's begin then!"
Zhang Xuan nodded reluctantly.
"Take out your weapon and let me take a look!"
Yun shi burst into laughter. With a flick of his wrist, the meteor hammer floated into the air, and the metal chains on it fluttered even though there was no wind. It felt as if it would strike out at any moment and crush Zhang Xuan into meat paste.
"I have already taken it out …"
But before Yun shi could finish his words, the young man before him suddenly shrugged.
Yun shi was taken aback.
The other party was completely empty-handed. Why would he take out his weapon?
"Be careful of your head!"
Just as Yun shi was perplexed by the situation, a master teacher by the side suddenly shouted.
"My head?"
Taken aback, Yun shi hurriedly raised his head, and what he saw caused his eyes to narrow in astonishment.
Unbeknownst to him, a massive cauldron had appeared above him, and as soon as it saw him, 'hu!', it charged right toward him.
"I …"
Exclaiming in shock, Yun shi tried to dodge to the side, only to realize that the cauldron was simply too powerful. It had already frozen the surrounding space.
Padah!
With a resounding explosion, a huge depression appeared in the ground. Yun shi's vision darkened, and he was smashed to the ground. His legs were protruding from the feet of the cauldron, and they were twitching non-stop.
"My weapon … is really heavy!"
Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang Xuan walked back to the table and put away the ten concentrated high-tier spirit stones. Then, with a wave of his hand, he stowed Jin Yuan Ding into his storage ring before turning to Yun shi, who was convulsing and spurting blood on the ground. With a calm voice, he said, "Using a weapon … You have lost!"
"Pu!"
Yun shi spurted blood even more violently than before.
"This … This is cheating!"
"He's from the Qingyuan Empire, so how could he have such a powerful cauldron?"
"That fellow is probably at least at the Leaving Aperture realm …"
"The first time was due to luck, and the second time, he relied on his cauldron. That fellow sure is shameless!"
…
A huge commotion broke out in the surroundings.
Under normal circumstances, it should have been a duel between the two of them, and both of them should have displayed their cultivation. Yet, this fellow actually used a powerful weapon to crush the other party to such a state …
This was way too unconventional!
But …
Yun shi was the one who had challenged Zhang Xuan to a duel of weapons, and before the duel, the other party had made it clear that his weapon was extremely heavy …
Even though he had made it clear beforehand, the other party still ended up being careless …
Just that … everyone wanted to see your cultivation, but you used a weapon to suppress me …
Where is your dignity?
"Two consecutive victories are more than enough to prove my strength! If there are no objections, I'll be the strongest among you all, and I won't stand on ceremony with this cup of wine! "
After putting away the concentrated high-tier spirit stones that Yun shi had lost, Zhang Xuan picked up the cup of wine and swirled it around in satisfaction. In an instant, the aroma of wine permeated the surroundings.
"Prove your strength?"
Seeing how gleeful Zhang Xuan was, the faces of the crowd flushed crimson.
The first time was due to luck, and the second time, he used a weapon …
What 'strongest'?
Experts were forged through fighting, not through shamelessness and self-promotion!
"Zhang Shi, I'm unconvinced by your strength … Do you dare to have a duel with me?"
Another master teacher stood up and emanated his aura, causing the entire hall to freeze in place.
Half-Leaving Aperture realm expert!
The true experts of the younger generation finally couldn't stand it any longer, and they were about to make a move.
