"Indeed!" Crown Prince Ye Qian widened his eyes in astonishment.
You boasted that you would challenge all three of us alone. I thought that you must have something up your sleeves, and at the very least, you would be able to remain undefeated. But in the end... you ended up bleeding from your nose. What in the world is this?
How is this a challenge? This is a one-sided beating!
"Could it be that I was careless and haven't gotten into the zone yet..."
Ye Qian tried to explain. However, before he could finish his words, Luo Zhao's fist had already landed on Hong Shi's nose, causing more blood to flow.
"Cough cough... Alright, I was wrong. He isn't a match for the three of them..."
Ye Qian nearly choked on his saliva as he shook his head.
Actually, Hong Shi's strength wasn't too weak. However, it was a different story when the three of them were working together. Two fists would find it hard to fend off four hands, not to mention, there were six of them.
In the blink of an eye, he had suffered several punches, and his head was covered in bruises.
Luo Xuan and Bi Jianghai, who were seated behind the table, were also on the verge of going insane.
They thought that Hong Shi would be able to display his prowess and obtain the slot. They didn't expect him to be pummeled so badly right from the start...
"Zhang Shi, what is going on..."
They hurriedly turned to look at Zhang Xuan, only to see that the other party's eyes were closed, as though he had fallen asleep...
The duo staggered.
You confidently asked Hong Shi to go up, but now that the duel has begun, you are sleeping peacefully. What are you up to?
You shouldn't be toying with others like this, right?
If not for the fact that he had come from the League of Nations with them, they would have really suspected that he was a spy...
"Zhang Shi, what should I do?"
The duo had gone berserk, and Hong Shi, who was being pummeled, couldn't take it anymore. He hurriedly sent a telepathic message over.
Before the duel, Zhang Shi had told him to fight first before giving him pointers. Even though Zhang Shi's head was swollen like a pig's, he didn't say a single word. Instead, he hurriedly turned his gaze over, and tears streamed down his face.
Didn't you say that you wanted to see the flaws in their moves so as to give me pointers?
Is there anyone who closes their eyes to watch others fight?
"It's over..."
For a moment, Hong Shi felt that there was nothing left to live for.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have believed this fellow's nonsense. Not only would he be beaten up, he would also lose the three slots … What the hell was this …
Just when Zhang Xuan thought that there was no hope left, that he would be pummeled half to death, he heard a faint voice by his ear.
"Advance half a foot, move three inches to the left, the seventh style of the Origin Returning Palm, bend, bend, the third style of the Dragon Capturing Palm …"
"Zhang Shi …"
Hearing the voice, Zhang Xuan's eyes immediately lit up. Turning his gaze over, he saw that the young man had opened his eyes at some point in time, and there was a brilliant gleam in his eyes.
"Alright!"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Hong Shi could not help but trust him. Gritting his teeth, his body flickered, and he did as the other party said, stepping forward.
…
"And here I thought that you would dare to challenge the three of us, but it seems like you're nothing much after all …"
Two consecutive punches left Hong Shi with a bloody nose and swollen face. At the same time, a confident look appeared on Feng shi's face, and it seemed as though the injuries on his body didn't hurt as much anymore.
"Don't talk so much. Beat him until he admits defeat first!"
Luo Zhao said excitedly.
He was already infuriated from being slapped in public. How could he let this opportunity slip by? With a loud roar, he charged forward, as though he had eight arms, leaving afterimages in his wake.
Spirit intermediate-tier battle technique, Eight Arms Divine Fist!
"Not bad. Since he's courting death, let's fulfill his wish!"
Chen Yue also roared as he sent a kick over.
Even though it wasn't a battle technique, the trajectory of the kick was extremely tricky, making it hard for one to guard against it.
Feng shi was attacking from the back, Luo Zhao was attacking from above, and Chen Yue was attacking from below. In an instant, the three of them had sealed off all three paths of escape.
Just as Hong Shi was about to be injured, as though he had predicted the other party's attack in advance, his feet suddenly slipped, and as though he had predicted the other party's attack, he appeared at an area where the three of them were unable to reach him.
Even though he had dodged, the attacks of the three didn't stop there.
Feng Yu was punched in the head by Luo Zhao, Luo Zhao was kicked in the crotch by Chen Yue, and Chen Yue was struck in the chest by Feng Yu.
Peng! Pah! Huala!
The trio's mouths twitched, and their vision darkened. They nearly fainted on the spot.
In order to teach Hong Shi a lesson, they had used their full strength. Never in their dreams did they expect that not only would their attacks miss, they would even injure one of their own.
"Damn it …"
Roaring furiously, Feng Yu recovered from his daze and struck down on Hong Shi. Just like before, before his palm could even reach Hong Shi, a massive foot was already growing larger and larger.
Peng!
Feng Yu's vision darkened, and he was sent flying. His head crashed into a table in the banquet hall, and half of his body was exposed.
"You're courting death …"
Not expecting that Feng shi would be on the verge of death in the blink of an eye, Luo Zhao flew into a rage and sent another punch over.
Hong Shi seemed to have seen through Luo Zhao's fist as well, and before the fist could even reach him, Hong Shi had already kicked out.
Peng!
He was kicked in the crotch once more.
"Wuuuuuuu …"
With a cry reminiscent of a rooster's, Luo Zhao curled up like a prawn and fell to the ground.
Even though he was a Transcendent Mortal 6-dan expert, he was still unable to withstand being kicked at his weakest spot twice. His heart was dripping with blood, and he felt as if … he had already lost consciousness …
"It's your turn now!"
After sending two experts of the same cultivation realm flying with two kicks, Hong Shi's confidence soared. He took two steps forward before abruptly retreating and sending a slap over.
Pah!
A slap sounded, and Chen Yue staggered from the impact. Fresh blood spurted from his mouth, and just like Luo Zhao, he spat out three to four teeth.
He had gone easy on Zhang Xuan previously, but now that he was in the midst of a battle, Zhang Xuan exerted all of his strength to slap Chen Yue's face. If not for Chen Yue's superior cultivation, his head would have exploded by now.
As the battle raged on, the entire banquet hall fell silent. Everyone's eyes were popping out of their sockets, and they felt as if their heads were about to explode.
Wasn't Hong shi the one who was barely holding on after being pummeled to the point of disorientation?
They thought that it wouldn't be long before he admitted defeat. Who could have thought that … in the blink of an eye, his cultivation technique would suddenly become so formidable?
To think that three Transcendent Mortal 6-dan experts wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow from Zhang Xuan. If he was already so formidable … how could he have been beaten so badly?
"He saw through his opponent's moves and predicted their movements in advance. That's why he was able to render Feng shi and the others helpless!"
Wu Zhen, who was gripping his wine cup tightly, said grimly.
Initially, he didn't have much interest in such a small duel. Who could have thought that Hong Shi would be so incredible?
In just a few moves, he was able to see through the other party's intentions and coordination, and even make the most accurate counterattack.
This was no longer just a matter of strength but eye of discernment!
How sharp must one's eye of discernment and analytical ability be to make such a judgment in just ten breaths?
Even he wouldn't be able to do it!
"Probably, only those monsters in the academy are capable of such a feat …"
A few figures surfaced in Wu Zhen's mind.
Even though he was known as a genius in a small place like Huanyu Empire, he didn't stand out at all in the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy. In fact … he didn't have much of a reputation!
Putting everything else aside, even Luo Qiqi, who had come with him, had an incredible talent in combat, something that he could not compare to.
Initially, Wu Zhen didn't think much of Hong Shi for reaching 5-star at such a young age. However, who could have thought that the other party's adaptability in combat would be on par with Luo Qiqi and the other monsters in the academy!
Are you for real?
"That's not right. If Hong Shi had such capability, his name would have surely shaken the entire Huanyu Empire, and Luo Zhao and the others would be fearful of him. How could he have been beaten black and blue before making his move?"
Wu Zhen's eyebrows shot up.
Previously, when Hong shi was being ganged up on by the three of them, his movements were filled with flaws. If he had any talent for combat, he should have shown it right from the start. It wasn't possible for him to make a sudden change in his fighting prowess.
"Could it be …"
Frowning, Wu Zhen hurriedly turned to the side, and his gaze fell on the young man who had suggested for Hong Shi to fight.
The young man's mouth opened and closed. Clearly, he was sending a telepathic message to Hong Shi.
"Telepathic message? As I expected! "
Previously, it was clear that Hong Shi didn't want to fight with the three of them at the same time. It was this fellow who had urged for him to do so. Since he dared to do so, he must be confident of winning. Thus, Wu Zhen's suspicions fell on him.
"Using telepathic message to guide a 5-star master teacher in a battle, and he even managed to reverse the situation? How did he do it? "
The more Wu Zhen thought about it, the more astonished he became.
There was a huge gap of two realms between Transcendent Mortal 4-dan and Transcendent Mortal 6-dan.
Logically speaking, it should have been impossible for Wu Zhen to understand the battle between Feng shi and the others … Yet, not only did he manage to do so, he even neutralized their joint attack, allowing Hong Shi to display his prowess. His eye of discernment … was truly frightening.
"We'll know whether it's his guidance or not after a test!"
After a moment of shock, Wu Zhen suddenly recalled something, and his lips curled up.
"Zhang Shi!"
His voice was so loud that it reverberated throughout the entire room.
"Hmm?"
Taken aback, Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned his head around.
He didn't expect Senior Wu, whom even the crown prince respected deeply, to call out to him.
Peng peng!
Ahhh!
Turning around, the sound of fists and kicks sinking into flesh and cries of agony sounded.
Hurriedly turning around, he saw that Hong Shi had lost his guidance and was being pummeled by the group once more.
"Move a chi to the right, turn around, Dragon Capturing Palm, eighth move …"
Wu Zhen sent another telepathic message.
Hu hu hu!
Hearing his words, Hong Shi gained the upper hand once more, suppressing the trio to the point where they couldn't catch their breath. With two consecutive punches, Luo Zhao and Chen Yue's vision went dark.
"Zhang Shi!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was in the midst of his conversation, Wu Shi's shout sounded once more.
"Sigh!"
Zhang Xuan turned around.
Peng peng!
Ahhh!
Hong Shi cried out in agony once more.
"The heck!"
Seeing that he was being pummeled without guidance, Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned around and sent a telepathic message over. "Leaping lightly, retreating seven steps …"
"Zhang Shi!"
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, Wu Zhen had already interrupted him.
"What are you trying to do?"
Zhang Xuan was on the verge of collapse.
"I … was just casually shouting. You can continue!"
Wu Zhen waved his hands casually.
"…" Zhang Xuan.
The heck, is this fellow really a genius from the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy?
How can he be so shameless?
While Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, Hong Shi was tearing up. "Zhang Shi, can't you focus a little more? You can't play like this. I'll die if you continue like this …"
