He Yunxiao's behavior has forced many to re-evaluate his status as a playboy.

Although his reputation is still terrible and he still acts arrogantly, the difference is that the good-for-nothing playboy now has a special skill, and it is the most needed skill in a family of military generals - martial arts talent!

With this, he can keep his marquis title and ensure the He family's lineage continues for another thirty years!

Although He Yunxiao was also willing to help the He family expand and continue its lineage, he was now in pain all over after being brutally beaten by Chu Fan, and he didn't want to continue anything.

The strength of a ninth-rank cultivator is not on the same level as that of an eighth-rank cultivator.

Moreover, Chu Fan's strength is not that of an ordinary ninth-rank cultivator, but rather that of a protagonist.

The protagonist is generally assumed to be able to fight beyond their level, such as an eighth-rank fighting a ninth-rank, or a ninth-rank fighting a grandmaster.

So, Lao Tzu is actually fighting against someone at the Grandmaster level right now!

Bang bang bang!

They exchanged ten more moves!

He Yunxiao finally reached his limit. He was caught off guard and Chu Fan punched him in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground.

The crowd, who had been holding their breath, finally erupted in cheers!

"Well done!"

"Chu Fan is too strong!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let He Yunxiao hear you..."

"Have some backbone! What's wrong with hearing that? Can't we even shout a few words after winning?"

Although no one wanted to admit it, they had wanted to see the arrogant He Yunxiao get beaten up for a long time.

He Yunxiao fell to the ground; he had intended to remain lying down.

As long as I keep lying down, it'll be over; as long as I keep lying down, I won't get beaten up.

Until he saw two people.

Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun had already come down from the viewing platform and were now standing on the edge of the dueling platform, not far from him.

Name: Jiang Wuyou

Relationship: confidant

Special skills: Dance and music

Personality: Generous, gentle

Favorability: 91

Success reward: Increased poison resistance

Name: Du Yinyun

Relationship: Friends

Favorability: 77

He Yunxiao used his hands to support himself and propped himself up.

Du Yinyun's favorability rating towards Chu Fan is 69.

It's still too high!

Such a high level of favorability is going to kill you, Sister Du.

The Soul-Devouring Pill overdraws lifespan to rapidly repair He Yunxiao's injured body.

He Yunxiao felt his strength returning, so he slowly and unsteadily stood up.

The defeated man shouted arrogantly at Chu Fan's departing figure, "Young Master Chu's expenses today are on me, He! Chu Fan, ninth rank? Is that all? Come and fight me again after you've eaten your fill!"

Chu Fan turned around, stared into He Yunxiao's eyes, and asked, "Why is that?"

Why?

He Yunxiao subconsciously glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao behind Chu Fan.

Chu Fan's originally calm state of mind was immediately thrown into chaos.

A fist slammed into He Yunxiao's abdomen without any fancy moves.

He, the loser who had just gotten back on his feet, fell again.

Du Yinyun's favorability rating has increased from 77 to 79.

Du Yinyun's favorability towards Chu Fan decreased from 69 to 58.

He Yunxiao got up again.

"Chu Fan, it's not over yet!"

Chu Fan coldly punched He Yunxiao.

This time, He Yunxiao collapsed, looking like a piece of rotten flesh.

The onlookers' unrestrained laughter decreased, but more people began to doubt He Yunxiao's intelligence.

"Do you think He Yunxiao has been beaten senseless?"

"Well, we can't win anyway, so why bother going back and forth?"

"I originally thought that this young master He could carry the banner of Marquis Wuqing for another thirty years, but I didn't expect him to be mentally unstable. The title of Marquis Wuqing will be completely gone once He Yuanhao dies."

Jiang Wuyou stood to the side, pacing back and forth, her heart aching at the sight.

She had long wanted to rush to that man's side, support him, and say words of heartache, reproach, and comfort. But when she saw He Yunxiao's gaze turn towards her several times, but mostly towards Du Yinyun, she suppressed the urge to rush over.

He turned his head to look at Du Yinyun's eyes, which were gradually becoming moist.

Jiang Wuyou gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay in place.

She was a smart girl; she knew He Yunxiao had designs on Du Yinyun. Rather than ruin his plans, Jiang Wuyou ultimately chose to endure it.

Du Yinyun's favorability rating increased from 79 to 81.

[Du Yinyun's favorability has reached 80, the romance is successful, and the reward "Luck Boost" has been obtained.]

Du Yinyun's favorability towards Chu Fan decreased from 58 to 42.

He Yunxiao smiled bitterly, and with great effort, stood up one last time.

"Chu Fan, you should go practice your swordsmanship properly!"

Chu Fan didn't know what He Yunxiao meant by those words, but he decided to give his opponent the final respect.

So when He Yunxiao threw a punch, Chu Fan also threw a punch in response.

The two punches had completely different effects.

Chu Fan only swayed slightly, while He Yunxiao had already vomited blood and collapsed.

Du Yinyun's favorability rating has increased from 81 to 83.

Du Yinyun's favorability towards Chu Fan decreased from 42 to 20.

"Young Master He!"

Du Yinyun had long since lost her dignified image and recklessly rushed onto the stage. She knelt on the ground, letting He Yunxiao, who was completely exhausted, lean on her.

A tear rolled down her cheek, and a large teardrop dripped onto He Yunxiao's bleeding mouth.

Du Yinyun raised her face, her gaze towards Chu Fan icy and cold, devoid of any admiration.

"Young Master Chu, you have won!"
