"You're dreaming!" Chang Wei roared. "Ye Qiu, you brat, don't push your luck. If you really push me too far, you won't have a good life either."
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow; "Oh? What do you want?"
"I……"
"Third Elder, let me speak," He Jieyu hurriedly stopped Chang Wei.
Immediately, He Jieyu raised her eyes and stared at Ye Qiu, saying very seriously, "Young Master Ye, I'm sorry I can't grant your request, but the Soul-Seizing Sword is very important to me. It's connected to my primordial spirit. If there's a problem with the Soul-Seizing Sword, my primordial spirit will also collapse. Please return the sword to me, Young Master Ye. Consider it a great favor I owe you, okay?"
"So, the Soul-Seizing Sword is your natal weapon?" Ye Qiu asked in surprise.
“That’s right, exactly.” He Jieyu didn’t hide anything.
"Jieyu, you're so foolish, how could you..."
Chang Wei hesitated, not understanding why He Jieyu would tell Ye Qiu such a secret.
To everyone's surprise, after learning that the Soul-Seizing Sword was He Jieyu's natal weapon, Ye Qiu immediately returned it to He Jieyu, very decisively.
He Jieyu held the sword, her face full of disbelief. She hadn't expected Ye Qiu to return the sword so easily.
Chang Wei was also stunned, and couldn't help but ask, "Kid, what trick are you trying to pull this time?"
"It's none of your business," Ye Qiu said calmly. "One thing at a time. He Jieyu is a good person, quite different from you. I can make things difficult for you, but I won't make things difficult for her."
"Ha, your attempts to sow discord are utterly clumsy," Chang Wei sneered. "Don't think that just because you returned the Soul-Seizing Sword, He Jieyu will be grateful to you. To us, Ye Qiu, you will always be our enemy."
"Third Elder, let's keep things separate. His willingness to return my soul-capturing treasure is indeed a great favor to me."
Because if he doesn't return it to me, I don't dare to do anything to him, since it was taken from me in the duel.
"So, Young Master Ye, if you ever need my help in the future, I will do my best to assist you," He Jieyu said solemnly.
"So what? He Jieyu, don't forget who you are." Chang Wei was extremely dissatisfied with He Jieyu's attitude.
He Jieyu remained silent, but her gaze was exceptionally firm.
"Alright, all three of you from Tongcheng Academy have been defeated. You can leave now. Don't interfere with my continued battle," Ye Qiu said calmly.
“That makes sense, please.” Tian Gao also spoke up.
"OK."
He Jieyu bowed with her sword in hand, then turned and walked off the stage.
We'll see.
Chang Wei snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and stepped off the stage.
“Young Master Ye, you can continue. You can decide who to choose next.” Tian Gao returned to his seat.
Ye Qiu's gaze swept across the area, landing directly on Zhou Kang of the Divine Fist Sect.
Zhou Kang is the grandson of the sect leader of the Divine Fist Sect, and his cultivation is extremely powerful.
Ye Qiu estimated that his cultivation level was even higher than that of He Jieyu and others.
"Zhou something, come up here."
Ye Qiu spoke calmly.
Zhou Kang's pupils contracted: "You choose me?"
"What? I can't choose you?"
"Choosing me will be the biggest mistake you've ever made."
Zhou Kang stood up, took a step, and instantly appeared on the arena.
Such agility was unpredictable and astonishing to many.
Zhou Si, the sect leader of the Divine Fist Sect, became nervous as soon as his grandson stepped onto the stage.
"Grandson, keep going, beat him."
Zhou Si made no attempt to hide his encouragement for Zhou Kang.
“Grandfather, I will.”
Zhou Kang was very confident.
"Don't forget that thing," Zhou Si reminded him.
"Um."
Zhou Kang nodded slightly.
As for what it was, no one else present except the grandfather and grandson knew.
However, Ye Qiu had a premonition that it was probably not a good thing.
After Zhou Kang stepped onto the arena, Ye Qiu calmly said, "I am very surprised that someone from your Divine Fist Sect has reached this level. If you had met me earlier, you would have been eliminated regardless of whether you were pursuing literature or martial arts."
"What? You've already offended Tongcheng Academy, and now you want to offend my Divine Fist Sect too? Can your flesh and blood withstand that?" Zhou Kang sneered.
"When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. A true man stands between heaven and earth, and should hate evil as if it were his enemy. He should know what to do and what not to do. What is there to fear?"
Ye Qiu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.
"Don't try to talk to me in fancy terms. I only believe in fists. Only fists can prove the truth. Prepare for a fight."
Zhou Kang clenched his fists, his blood boiling, as if a volcano were erupting.
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, immediately recognizing that Zhou Kang's physical strength was exceptionally high, far beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
Moreover, Zhou Kang cultivates the Golden Dao Method, which has a very high compatibility with people with strong physical bodies. When combined with extraordinary techniques, he is almost invincible within the same realm, and his opponents cannot harm him at all.
This is also the source of Zhou Kang's confidence. Even though he had just witnessed Ye Qiu defeat three members of Tongcheng Academy, including Luo Qianqiu and his two companions, he was fearless and confident that he could fight Ye Qiu.
But what he didn't know was that Ye Qiu's physical strength was equally formidable, far surpassing his own.
“This week, Zhou Kang once suppressed a descendant of an ancient ferocious beast all by himself with pure physical strength. It is said that the beast’s strength exceeded 200,000 jin. Zhou Kang’s ability to suppress it means that his strength is probably around 300,000 jin.”
"Hiss, is it that scary?"
"Zhou Kang of the Divine Fist Sect is usually low-key, but his combat strength is definitely not weak. Not only is his physical body strong, but his cultivation is also heaven-defying. He has long reached the Divine Seal Realm, and his Golden Dao Technique is extremely powerful."
"Ye Shen has met his match."
Those who knew the situation began to speak up.
Even Wu Daofeng and the others couldn't help but become serious.
"You can begin now. I'll give you three moves."
On the stage, Ye Qiu spoke indifferently.
"Give me three moves? Haha, kid, don't be so arrogant. If you're so capable, defeat me in one move. Otherwise, don't spout such nonsense and make a fool of yourself." Zhou Kang sneered.
"Defeat you in one move? I don't think that's too difficult."
"Then give it a try. If you can do it, I, Zhou Kang, will follow your lead from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do." Zhou Kang sneered.
He naturally didn't believe that Ye Qiu could defeat him in one move.
At this moment, the momentum of both of them began to rise sharply.
boom.
Finally, Zhou Kang made his move, like a tiger descending a mountain, his eyes sharp, his fist striking Ye Qiu with astonishing force.
His punches were like a tidal wave, sweeping across half the arena.
Such a high-intensity attack, capable of blocking any movement or positioning, is intended to force Ye Qiu to confront it head-on.
"Not weak, but not good enough."
Ye Qiu smiled slightly, then suddenly raised his fist and threw a punch. He didn't use any magic power, but relied on pure physical strength to fight Zhou Kang. He didn't have Zhou Kang's imposing aura, but he looked as steady as a mountain.
Boom!
The two fists collided, causing the arena to shake violently, and dazzling light and runes flashed around them.
That's the protective array of the arena being triggered, protecting the arena.
Before anyone could even register their shock, a figure was sent flying backward...
