"What did you say?"
Hearing those words, the combat masters behind Zhuo Qingfeng immediately flew into a rage.
Even Wu Tianqiong, Shen Pingchao, and the others were dumbfounded.
To think that such powerful combat masters would be thrashed and mocked … Even though they were witnessing it with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but feel as if they were dreaming.
"I was wondering how formidable combat masters would be, but it seems like they are only so-so!"
Holding his spear in one hand and the other behind his back, Zheng Yang said nonchalantly.
He had long heard of the combat master occupation, and he had thought that it would be a formidable one. However, he was still a little disappointed to see it for himself.
"How arrogant!"
Seeing how this fellow who had popped out of nowhere was so brazen and arrogant, Wu Xu stepped forward and bellowed, "Do you dare to have a duel with me?"
At this moment, Wu Xu had already reached Half-Saint. Even though he was only at primary stage, his cultivation was still as vast as a river. Most Half-Saint pinnacle cultivators would find it hard to stand against him.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Zheng Yang raised his spear as if it had come to life.
"Very well, I will suppress my cultivation and have a duel with you!"
Wu Xu nodded and took out his sword. A ray of sword qi swam around him like a snake.
Over the past three months, not only had his cultivation advanced, his comprehension of swordsmanship had also deepened significantly. Compared to back when he was at the Scarlet Firefly Fruit Valley, he was far stronger than before.
"There's no need for that. It's just a Half-Saint primary stage cultivator … Watch me defeat him with a single spear strike!"
With a light chuckle, Zheng Yang took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to have shortened by half. With a single step, he arrived before Wu Xu and thrust his spear forward.
"You are courting death!"
Seeing how the other party was intending to clash with him head-on, Wu Xu's face darkened.
No matter what, he was a Half-Saint combat master, and he was invincible among those of the same cultivation realm. If his cultivation was weak, it would be difficult for him to defeat him through trickery. Facing him head-on was no different from courting death!
Harrumphing coldly, Wu Xu's sword pierced straight toward the other party's spear.
At the same time, zhenqi gushed forth from his body as if a dam had burst.
Since the other party dared to clash with him head-on, he would make the other party understand how laughable his actions were.
Peng!
The long sword and the long spear collided.
Just as Wu Xu was thinking that the other party would not be able to withstand his powerful zhenqi and be crushed on the spot, he suddenly felt an even more powerful surge of energy gushing toward him.
The river of True Qi in his body seemed to have encountered a tsunami. They were not on the same level at all.
Deng deng deng deng!
With a reddened face, Wu Xu staggered back eight steps. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Just in terms of zhenqi and physical strength, he is actually stronger than Wu Xu, who is a realm higher than him... How in the world did that fellow cultivate?"
Zhuo Qingfeng and the others also widened their eyes in shock.
Combat masters, be it in terms of physical body or zhenqi cultivation, were the cream of the crop amongst their peers … Yet, this sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man was actually able to force Wu Xu back despite his cultivation realm … Wasn't this a little too fearsome?
"Let's continue!"
After repelling Wu Xu, Zheng Yang let out a long roar and charged forward once more.
At the same time, Zhang Xuan tapped his spear lightly, sealing off all possible routes of retreat for Wu Xu.
"What a fast spear technique, what a profound battle technique …"
Zhuo Qingfeng narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
If the other party had only relied on brute force, there would have been nothing for him to be afraid of. After all, strength wasn't the key to victory in a battle. Take the duel earlier in the day for example. None of the students from Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy possessed powerful physical strength, but none of his combat masters were a match for them.
Brute force could be made up for with battle technique, and by finding the other party's weakness, he would be able to defeat him.
He had thought that Wu Xu would stand a chance, but who could have known that the other party's comprehension of combat and control over his moves would be just as formidable?
It was clear that the other party had seen through the flaws in Wu Xu's moves, so he swiftly sealed off the area around him. This way, no matter how powerful his battle technique was, he wouldn't be able to execute it.
Brute force and deep comprehension of battle techniques … Where in the world did this fellow come from?
This was too fearsome!
Peng peng peng peng!
While Zhang Xuan's thoughts were running wild, Wu Xu was already in a perilous situation. He was forced to retreat several steps, and eventually, unable to withstand the pressure any longer, his sword flew out of his hand. It flipped several times in the air before stabbing into the ground a dozen meters away.
At the same time, he staggered and fell to the ground. The young man's spear was pressed against his neck, and a bone-chilling sensation seemed as if it would pierce through his throat at any moment.
"I have lost …"
Wu Xu's body stiffened.
He had thought that there would be very few people who would be a match for him after his breakthrough to Half-Saint, but who could have thought that he would be defeated so easily by a Chrysalis realm primary stage young man?
"Formidable … I'll have a duel with you!"
Seeing that his good friend had lost so thoroughly, Lu Cheng couldn't hold himself back any longer and stepped forward.
"Lu Cheng, you aren't a match for me!"
Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head.
With his eye of discernment, he could easily tell how fearsome the young man was.
Zhenqi, strength, speed, comprehension of battle techniques, and comprehension of battle techniques … There wasn't a single flaw in the other party's performance.
Even though Lu Cheng had achieved a breakthrough to Half-Saint long ago, making him the strongest of his group, he was still a far cry from matching up to the other party.
"Leader …" Lu Cheng panicked.
The other party had already come to their doorstep and humiliated them. If they didn't teach the other party a lesson, how could they face the world in the future?
"Let me do it myself …"
Shaking his head, Zhuo Qingfeng stepped forward and looked at Zheng Yang.
"I won't bully you. I'll suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours!"
Hu la!
After saying those words, Zhuo Qingfeng's aura began to shrink, lowering from Saint 2-dan to Chrysalis realm primary stage.
Even though his cultivation had been suppressed, his comprehension of battle techniques, combat experience, and reflexes were still the same. It could be said that even at Chrysalis realm primary stage, his fighting prowess was far more fearsome than the Half-Saint Lu Cheng.
"Let's begin!"
Zheng Yang nodded. Without any hesitation, he raised his spear, and in an instant, it was as if he had become one with the spear.
This was the highest realm of Spear-Man Union — Spear-Man as One!
With a grim expression, Zhuo Qingfeng whipped out a sword and pointed it at Zhang Xuan.
Hu!
Knowing that the other party was formidable, Zhuo Qingfeng made the first move.
His footsteps were extremely complex, as if he was using some kind of unique movement technique. Even though he was already right before Zhang Xuan, if he were to attack, he would realize that he was standing too far away from Zhuo Qingfeng.
"It's a kind of formation … Combat Master Zhuo has fused his movement technique with the formation, and the process of him advancing forward is also the process of setting up the formation!"
Wu Tianqiong narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
Even though combat masters didn't comprehend their supporting occupations, they were still able to utilize their supporting occupations in battle to raise their fighting prowess.
Take the move that Zhuo Qingfeng was executing for example.
By fusing his movement technique with the formation, he would be able to confuse his opponent, thus making it impossible for him to accurately determine where he was heading.
"This move is indeed fearsome. Even I am unable to deal with it, so I can only avoid it for the time being. Let's see how that young man deals with it …"
Shen Pingchao nodded in agreement.
Combat Master Zhuo's move was extremely bizarre. Even without suppressing his cultivation, it would still be difficult for him to fathom it. If the other party, a Chrysalis realm cultivator, were to make a mistake, he would be defeated on the spot.
"Humph!"
Seeing through Zhuo Qingfeng's intentions, Zheng Yang harrumphed coldly. Instead of dodging, he abruptly thrust his spear toward the ground.
Huala!
A brilliant surge of spear qi burst forth, and a massive fissure of several dozen meters long immediately appeared on the ground.
At the same time, he flicked his spear upward, sending rocks flying in the air.
"Using rocks to break a formation? Incredible! "
Upon seeing this sight, Wu Tianqiong's eyes lit up in agitation.
He was still wondering how the other party would deal with it when he saw this move, and his heart immediately leaped in agitation.
Zhuo Qingfeng had used his legs to set up a formation, making his movements difficult to discern, making him even more fearsome than phantoms. Instead of attacking, the other party stabbed his spear toward the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise into the air.
Regardless of what kind of formation or leg technique it was, as long as the dust could fall onto the ground, it would be real. If it couldn't, it would be fake!
In other words, the other party had managed to overcome his leg technique in a single move.
Hula!
Amidst the exclamation, the young man had already determined Combat Master Zhuo's position. His spear pierced through the air, heading straight for Zhuo Qingfeng.
"Humph!"
Seeing how the other party was able to overcome his leg technique so swiftly, Zhuo Qingfeng's face darkened. He raised his sword and thrust it forward.
Ding ding ding!
The sword qi collided with the spear tip.
Zhuo Qingfeng felt a stifling sensation in his chest, and he was forced to retreat several steps in shock.
Despite being at the same cultivation realm, the strength of his zhenqi was actually far beneath that of the other party.
This was especially so for the purity of his zhenqi. The difference was like the difference between clouds and mud.
To be able to groom a seventeen-year-old young man to such an extent, just how formidable must his teacher be?
Hua hua hua!
Zhuo Qingfeng brandished his sword several times before he managed to neutralize the momentum of the other party's attack. Then, he charged forward once more. However, the other party seemed to have noticed the flaws in his attacks, and his spear was relentless.
After eight consecutive spear strikes, Zhuo Qingfeng's face had already turned pale, and his breathing had already become ragged.
The other party's zhenqi was simply too powerful, such that he was unable to withstand it at all.
If not for his Saint 2-dan cultivation, granting him superior reflexes and agility, he would have been severely injured by now.
"Stop! There's no need to continue fighting anymore … I'm not a match for you!"
Zhuo Qingfeng leaped backward and left the battlefield. He waved his hand to the young man before him.
As much as he hated to admit it, there was no denying the fact. Even if he were to make a move himself, he wouldn't be a match for the young man before him.
Be it in terms of comprehension of battle techniques, combat experience, or even strength, the other party was more than twice as strong as he was.
If such an expert were to enter the Combat Master Hall, he would at least become a Thousand Men Commander or even … a Vice Commander!
To think that there would be such a genius here!
"You are a student of Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy as well? May I know who your teacher is? Are you interested in joining our Combat Master Hall? "
Zhuo Qingfeng couldn't help but ask.
"I am not a student of Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy …"
Keeping his spear, Zheng Yang placed his hands behind his back and gazed at Zhuo Qingfeng impassively. "However, my teacher is Zhang Xuan!"
