Li Hao, the strongest person in the sixteen-year-old group, was easily defeated by his peers. Xia Yuanba gritted his teeth in anger, hating his low profound strength. Not to mention saving face for Li Hao and Xinyue Xuanfu, he didn't even have the qualifications to challenge Xuan Yu. But he never expected that Xuan Yu would point the spearhead at him. Looking at Xuan Yu's fingertips, Xia Yuanba's eyes widened and he was stunned.
Moreover, this Xuanyu actually called him "Big Head Senior Brother"!
All eyes were focused on Xia Yuanba. All the elders of the New Moon Xuanfu frowned, and the disciples were also stunned. None of them expected that the challenger chosen by Xuanyu would be Xia Yuanba, who was only fifteen years old and came here purely to watch the fun! However, with Xia Yuanba's amazing body shape, people who didn't know him would never have thought that he was only fifteen years old! It was normal to think he was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Sikong Han said, "This is Xia Yuanba, a disciple of our mansion. However, you cannot call him Senior Brother. Although he is too strong, he is only fifteen years old and the youngest in our mansion."
"Fifteen...years old?" Many people from the Qixuan Sect spit out the tea in their mouths. Xuan Yu also stared.
"Yuan Ba, since this disciple of Xuan Xin Sect wants to spar with you, then you should accept the challenge calmly." Si Kong Han turned around and said, "You are still young, and it is not shameful to lose. Just do your best."
“Yes, Elder.” Xia Yuanba nodded and stood up. His huge body, nearly two meters and three meters tall, stood up, which immediately startled many people in the hall. Yun Che patted him and whispered, “Be careful, don’t get hurt.”
"Hehe, don't worry. Although my profound strength is not good, my body is still very resistant to attacks." Xia Yuanba patted his chest confidently and walked to the center of the main hall. He stood in front of Xuan Yu and said, "My name is Xia Yuanba, from the first class of Xuanzhi Mansion. I am fifteen years old this year. Please give me your guidance."
Xuan Yu obviously wanted to challenge someone older than him to show off his power. He didn't expect that the "giant" who looked over 18 years old was only 15 years old! A 16-year-old fighting a 15-year-old, even if he won, it would be basically not glorious. He casually probed the opponent's profound strength, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched... Only the sixth level of the initial profound realm! Choosing such an opponent is really a loss of his own value!
"This idiot! I knew something would happen if he came to this banquet! If outsiders thought that a mere sixth-level beginner in the Profound Realm could become an elite disciple of the Xuanzhi Mansion, wouldn't that make people laugh! Humph, it's really embarrassing!"
A low curse filled with mockery and disdain slowly entered Yun Che’s ears. Yun Che side-glanced and glanced at Murong Ye indifferently, then retracted his gaze and focused his attention on Xia Yuanba.
Murong Ye, who had just shut up, suddenly felt cold all over and shivered violently. He turned around in a hurry and looked around, his heart pounding... Just at that moment, he felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an extremely cold ice cave, and as if he saw a pair of terrifying venomous snake eyes staring at him. But he looked around for a long time and didn't find anything unusual. The terrifying feeling of that moment slowly disappeared. Murong Ye touched the cold sweat on his forehead that had oozed out at some point, thinking that he was just being suspicious.
"Drink! Split mountains and crack rocks!"
Xia Yuanba took the initiative, clenched his fists, and leaped up with his huge body, smashing down fiercely. His body plus the invisible sense of oppression really had some of the aura of "splitting mountains and splitting rocks".
"You have the nerve to show off such a rubbish skill? If Xuan Yu lets him defeat him in three moves, he'll never be able to face people again!" An elderly disciple of Xuanxin Sect sneered.
Facing Xia Yuanba's powerful attack, Xuan Yu did not dodge or evade, nor did he even try to use his profound skills. He simply raised his right arm horizontally and blocked Xia Yuanba's extremely powerful blow without any fancy moves, with a hint of disdainful smile on his face...
With a dull thud, Xia Yuanba's fists slammed fiercely into Xuan Yu's arms. Xuan Yu's arms sank slightly, and then suddenly, like a poisonous snake awakened by the blow, he turned his arms upwards and directly clamped Xia Yuanba's two thick arms in his arms at the same time, and his profound strength suddenly burst out.
Snap!!
“Ugh!!”
“Yuan Ba!” Yun Che stood up all of a sudden.
As Xia Yuanba screamed, his two arms were dislocated in an instant. Xuan Yu swung out with one arm, and actually threw Xia Yuanba's body weighing more than 350 kilograms directly to the height of more than one meter.
Originally, the "competition" had ended here, and Xia Yuanba was defeated in one encounter, and this was an outcome that no one was surprised by. With his powerful background, profound skills, and profound techniques, Xuan Yu could win in two encounters even when facing an opponent who was only one level lower than him, not to mention Xia Yuanba, who was only at the sixth level of the Elementary Profound Realm. However, just as Xia Yuanba's body floated in the air and was about to fall heavily to the ground, Xuan Yu's mouth suddenly frowned, and purple light flashed on his right fist.
Yun Che immediately realized Xuan Yu’s intention and shouted: “Stop!!”
But Xuan Yu would not pay attention to his words. He mercilessly struck Xia Yuanba's body with his Purple Cloud Palm as it was about to fall to the ground.
The sound of at least three broken ribs could be clearly heard.
“Yuan Ba!!!!”
Yun Che could no longer care about anything else. He jumped to Xia Yuanba's side and held up his fallen body. After Xia Yuanba landed, his face had turned pale, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his face was twisted violently due to severe pain. Xia Yuanba looked strong, but his protective profound strength was too weak after all. How could he withstand Xuan Yu's heavy blow?
Yun Che glared at Xuan Yu and said with a sullen face, “The competition is only for learning from each other, so stop when you are satisfied. The winner was clearly decided just now, why did you still use such a heavy hand!?”
"Hey!" Xuan Yu sneered disdainfully, "There's nothing wrong with sparring, but swords have no eyes, and fists and feet are hard to stop. This is a truth that everyone knows. It's not uncommon for people to lose their lives due to difficulty in stopping during sparring, and getting injured is nothing more than normal. How could I know that the elite disciples of your New Moon Xuan Mansion are so weak that they break bones and spit blood after just one or two moves? Instead of blaming yourselves for being useless, you blame me?"
"Haha, Brother Xuanyu is absolutely right."
"When we brothers spar with each other, it's common to break legs and feet. This is what we call real sparring. This New Moon Profound Palace can't even withstand a little injury. No wonder it has always been so useless. Tsk tsk..."
"In my opinion, Brother Xuanyu has already shown mercy. If Brother Xuanyu really used all his strength, would that kid still be alive with his sixth-level protective profound energy?"
There were bursts of harsh sounds coming from the Seven Sects. The elders from the New Moon Profound Palace also shook their heads and sighed, helpless. Yun Che laughed in anger and helped Xia Yuanba to the nearest Lan Xueruo: "Senior Sister Xueruo, could you please help me take care of Yuanba?"
“Okay!” Lan Xueruo quickly walked down, took out a vermilion-white pill and put it into Xia Yuanba’s mouth. When she looked up, she found that Yun Che had stood up and walked towards Xuanyu.
“Swords and knives have no eyes, and fists and feet are hard to stop.” Yun Che stood in front of Xuan Yu, his face had become extremely calm. He stared at the man who dared to maliciously injure Xia Yuanba in front of him, and said lightly: “Remember what you said... Next, I will be your opponent! Yun Che, Xuanzhifu Class 1, 16 years old!”
"Who is this young man? He is only sixteen years old, but he has already reached the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. Moreover, his profound strength is even stronger than Li Hao's. How come I have never seen him before?" The elders of the New Moon Xuan Mansion looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Don't think too much. He is indeed a disciple of our Xuanzhi Mansion. He just joined at noon today. He is the grandson of my old friend." Sikong Han explained to the other elders, but there was a worry between his brows. Yun Che's profound energy aura is indeed a little stronger than Li Hao's, but it is only a little bit. Basically, they are on par. Li Hao was defeated and seriously injured by Xuan Yu. Yun Che could not have a second ending. At most, he could hold on for a few more rounds. If he was injured just after joining Xuan Mansion, he would really feel ashamed of Xiao Lie. However, in this situation, those who were challenged had to fight, and those who took the initiative to stand up could not be stopped at all. He could only watch and pray that Yun Che would not be seriously injured.
“Brother-in-law… be careful! He… he is too powerful…” Xia Yuanba covered his chest and said in a painful voice.
Yun Che’s words made Xuan Yu stunned for a moment, and then he laughed wildly as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: “Ahahahahaha, are you warning me? Threatening me? Trying to give me a taste of my own medicine? Hahaha… Hahahaha! With you? Hahahaha…”
Xuan Yu's laughter was unbridled and harsh, but no one thought he was arrogant. He laughed for a long time before he said with contempt, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there would be someone who could be on par with Li Hao in the 16-year-old section of Xinyue Xuanfu. This level is still very impressive in Xinyue City, but it's a pity that you met me today. Since you have the courage to challenge me, how about I give you a preferential treatment?"
Xuan Yu slowly stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Yun Che: “Five moves! As long as you can fight with me for more than five moves, you will win this competition. How about that?”
"Hahahaha, Junior Brother Xuanyu, you really think too highly of him." A burst of laughter came from the Xuanxin Sect.
Qin Wuyou, the chairman of the banquet, who had remained silent since the start of the "sparring", was finally a little moved at this moment. He silently looked at Yun Che's eyes, which remained calm despite Xuan Yu's various laughter and ridicules, and sighed in his heart: This little guy is not simple.
“Have you finished your nonsense?” Yun Che asked coldly.
“Oh! Your name is... Ang, Yun Che, right? Don’t just stand there. If you want to start, just come over anytime. At least that way you can still make a move. If I make a move first, you might not get a chance to make a move.” Xuan Yu crossed his arms and said with a smile.
“Heh,” Yun Che also laughed. Without saying anything more, he suddenly moved forward, stretched out his left hand, and grabbed Xuan Yu’s neck.
“What? You don’t even have a profound skill?” Xuan Yu’s smile became even more mocking, his eyes half-closed, until Yun Che’s left arm was less than two feet away from his face, then his right hand stretched out like lightning, suddenly grabbed Yun Che’s left wrist, and then accurately grabbed the left hand that Yun Che stretched out in his palm...
A hint of sinister smile flashed across Xuan Yu’s lips. Just as he was about to surge his profound energy and directly break Yun Che’s wrist, the palm that had clearly grasped Yun Che’s wrist felt empty… His five fingers passed through Yun Che’s wrist, grabbing nothing! At this moment, Yun Che’s figure also disappeared like mist…
At the same time, a whistling gust of wind came from his right side. He was so confused that he had no time to react...
"PIA!!"
An extremely loud slapping sound resounded throughout all corners of the main hall. Everyone heard it clearly, as if it was slapping them on the face. Xuan Yu was hit so hard that he flew into the air, spinning in mid-air for a full 1,440 degrees before falling heavily.
Yun Che used all his strength to deliver this slap without compromise. He wiped the back of his red right hand on his clothes with disgust and said calmly, “First move.”
