Qin Huaichuan was handsome and tall. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were sharp. His cultivation level was two levels higher than Chu Li's. If they were to compete in palm techniques, Chu Li had no chance of winning.
What was worse was that Qin Huaichuan possessed extraordinary martial arts that could block Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror. Even if he could use the Nature Restoration Manifestation, he might not win.
Qin Huaichuan gave a fist salute and smiled. "I'm also a newcomer in the Divine Weapon Hall. I'm slightly inferior to Junior Sister Sun and Junior Sister Mo. I'd like to experience the glory of the top outer mountain disciple. Junior Brother Zhao, you won't reject the challenge, right?"
Chu Li glanced at the people around him.
They looked like they were waiting for a good show. When they saw his hesitation, they smiled sarcastically. Most of them were direct disciples, but there were also outer mountain disciples like Duan Qi.
Everyone was hostile toward him.
The direct disciples were cautious and instinctively hostile. They felt that outsiders had invaded their territory and the outer mountain disciples were in their way because he was in their way.
If he was the second place, the outer mountain disciples would not hate him. Instead, they would flatter him and unite against outsiders. After all, the outer mountain disciples were the minority in Great Light Peak.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. This was human nature. It was really disappointing.
"Junior Brother Zhao, are you really not accepting my challenge?" Qin Huaichuan smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I'm only third place. I can't compare to Junior Sister Sun and Junior Sister Mo. Junior Brother Zhao, you're the champion. Do you not dare to fight me?"
Chu Li remained silent.
Although he did not know what martial arts Qin Huaichuan cultivated, it was not ordinary. He should not be underestimated. It was hard to predict the outcome.
He then smiled. So what if he won or lost? Even if everyone challenged him today, he would fight them one by one. He would beat them until they were convinced that he was the champion!
With a heroic spirit, he said, "Alright, I accept!"
"Palm techniques?" Elder Yang asked.
Qin Huaichuan smiled. "Thank you, Elder Yang. We'll challenge palm techniques and won't cause trouble for you."
"It's good that you know!" Elder Yang scoffed. "Let's begin."
As the supervisor of the challenge, he would also be implicated if there were any incidents of internal strife.
Qin Huaichuan looked at Chu Li and smiled. "Junior Brother Zhao, please!"
"Please!" Chu Li scoffed.
Qin Huaichuan abruptly thrust his palm forward. His body movement technique was as fast as lightning as he instantly appeared behind Chu Li.
Chu Li flipped his body and struck out with his palm. It was as if a flower was slowly blooming in the air.
Qin Huaichuan dodged the attack and launched another palm attack. Chu Li followed suit and another flower bloomed in the air. The two of them were entangled and it was difficult to determine the victor for the time being.
Qin Huaichuan's body movement technique was extraordinarily fast and was not inferior to Chu Li's.
Chu Li's Divine Light Body had reached an extremely high level, which allowed his body movement technique to be even faster. Even though his cultivation level was not as high as Qin Huaichuan's, his Light-body Technique was still able to match Qin Huaichuan's and he would not be at a disadvantage.
"This is the Soaring Eagle Palm," whispered Song Donglin.
Sun Li Hua lightly nodded her head and said, "Junior Brother Zhao doesn't look too good."
Mo Cuicui snorted and said, "It's good that you lost."
Song Donglin smiled. "It doesn't matter even if he loses. He's still in first place. His most powerful move is his Light Blade. No one can withstand it."
Sun Lihua said, "Junior Martial Brother Qin's palm technique is exquisite. It's far stronger than when we fought. It seems like he held back."
"Perhaps Junior Brother Qin suddenly had an epiphany that allowed him to improve by leaps and bounds. That's why he's not convinced of Junior Brother Zhao's superiority," Song Donglin said.
Sun Lihua nodded.
Mo Cuicui softly scoffed and shook her head to herself. Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Sun were really naive!
"Bam bam!" Both of them hit each other with their palms.
Chu Li only felt that his inner energy was pure and profound. It entered his body and wreaked havoc.
He ignored them and his palms suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. It was as if two more lotuses had bloomed in the air.
"Bam!" Qin Huaichuan was sent flying. He clutched his abdomen and stared at Chu Li in disbelief.
"Oh no!" Song Donglin exclaimed.
Sun Lihua frowned.
When they saw Qin Huaichuan clutching his abdomen, they knew that something was wrong.
That spot was too sensitive. Once the Dantian was hit, it would be damaged and his cultivation level destroyed. That would be troublesome. It would be equivalent to destroying one's martial arts and killing one another!
Mo Cuicui smiled sweetly.
Everyone noticed that Qin Huaichuan's cultivation level was rapidly disappearing. The glow on his body dimmed in the blink of an eye.
Elder Yang flashed in front of Qin Huaichuan and quickly poked his body a few times. Then, he took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qin Huaichuan said bitterly, "Elder Yang, my cultivation level has been destroyed!"
Elder Yang said in a low voice, "You're still young. Don't worry!"
"You'll have to start from scratch!" Qin Huaichuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Seeing how calm he was, Elder Yang nodded to himself and said gently, "You have a good aptitude. You'll be able to recover in a year. You'll be able to catch up to them in no time!"
Chu Li frowned and stared at Qin Huaichuan. He took a deep breath and shook his head.
He finally understood Altar Leader Mo's tactics.
Qin Huaichuan was not here to destroy his cultivation level. He was here to frame him. Chu Li's palm attack was insignificant. It would not hurt his Dantian or destroy his cultivation level.
That palm attack was initially aimed at his chest. Qin Huaichuan's chest turned into his abdomen at the critical moment and hit his Dantian.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Chu Li withdrew his palm energy. When Qin Huaichuan clutched his abdomen, he secretly used his palm energy and injured himself. His cultivation level was now gone.
No one would have thought that Qin Huaichuan would do that.
Chu Li knew that a Miracle Cure Pill was not difficult for a powerful person like Altar Leader Mo. With Altar Leader Mo's help, recovering his cultivation level would be a piece of cake.
One Miracle Cure Pill was enough to break the rules.
Everyone stared at him. Some of them were pitying him while some were gloating over his misfortune.
Zhao Dahe was done for breaking the rule of not killing each other!
Elder Yang let go of Qin Huaichuan and went to Chu Li. He sized him up and sighed. "Zhao Dahe, you …"
Chu Li asked, "Elder Yang, how will I be punished?"
"The torture chamber will take care of it." Elder Yang shook his head. "Fortunately, his martial arts was only crippled. His life is not in danger."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I've caused trouble for you, Elder Yang."
Elder Yang said helplessly, "Who would have thought that this would happen? You were too heavy-handed!"
"I made a mistake." Chu Li shook his head. "It's my first time meeting Senior Brother Qin. I have no grudge against him. Why did I have to kill him?"
"Yes, that's right." Elder Yang nodded. "I'll plead for you."
"Thank you, Elder Yang." Chu Li fist saluted.
Elder Yang sighed and waved his hand. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qin Huaichuan.
Qin Huaichuan sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes to channel. He was trying to recover his lost cultivation level.
A moment later, two young women dressed in purple stepped forward and asked, "Which one of you is Zhao Dahe?"
They were a few years older than Chu Li. They were about twenty-four or twenty-five years old and looked more graceful than a young girl. Of course, it was difficult to tell the age of a woman with profound inner energy.
"I am." Chu Li raised his hand.
"Let's go." The two young women in purple waved. "Follow us to the torture chamber."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded happily and walked towards them.
Sun Lihua stepped forward. "Junior Brother Zhao."
Song Donglin sighed. "Junior Brother Zhao, take care."
Mo Cuicui stepped forward and smiled at him.
Chu Li scoffed. "Altar Leader Mo is really good. I'm impressed!"
"Now you know how powerful I am?" Mo Cuicui scoffed. "However, you've broken the rules. No matter what, you'll be punished!"
