"Protective Qi!" Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly shouted, and an invisible protective barrier formed by Qi instantly enveloped his body.
This protective aura is the unique skill summoned by this master of internal energy transformation. It works on the same principle as the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt, meaning that when someone's fist or internal energy strikes you, this layer of energy absorbs and resists it!
"What? Protective Qi? What kind of martial art is this? I've never heard of it before?" someone below asked immediately upon hearing this.
"I've never heard of that either. Maybe this guy's read too many martial arts novels. Protective aura? Humph, what a joke!"
Those who didn't think highly of Liu Xiaoyuan made sarcastic remarks.
The heads of the four major families had some understanding of this protective aura, knowing that it was a skill similar to the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt techniques. However, this protective aura was formed from the Qi within the body and was extremely difficult to master.
Even the heads of the four major families cannot do it. Firstly, they do not have the cultivation method for this protective aura. Secondly, to cultivate this protective aura, one needs to be able to freely use the internal energy in the dantian to the point of doing as one pleases.
Therefore, when they heard Liu Xiaoyuan shout out the words "protective qi", all four of them were taken aback.
If Shao Yitian had truly mastered the art of protective qi, then Ye Zifan would undoubtedly lose.
If Ye Zifan loses, the Ye family will be the last thing to want, while the other three families will be happy to see it happen.
"I don't care what kind of protective aura you have or what, go to hell!" Ye Zifan roared angrily.
Ye Zifan was confident that the power of his punch was beyond what Liu Xiaoyuan's protective aura could withstand, so in Ye Zifan's eyes, he could already see Liu Xiaoyuan lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel!
Ye Zifan's idea was naturally the best it could be, but the reality surprised him greatly.
According to Ye Zifan's estimation, his internal energy should have already struck Liu Xiaoyuan, but Liu Xiaoyuan was still standing there as if nothing had happened, showing no signs of injury at all.
"What on earth is going on?" Ye Zifan was greatly surprised, but he didn't care about that now. He still threw a punch at Liu Xiaoyuan's chest.
But just as Ye Zifan's fist was about to strike Liu Xiaoyuan's chest, Ye Zifan felt as if his fist was being blocked by something, and he couldn't move forward even an inch.
"Could this be what he calls protective qi?" Ye Zifan was shocked, and an ominous premonition immediately welled up in his heart.
Just then, Liu Xiaoyuan kicked out without warning. Ye Zifan's eyes widened suddenly as he tried to dodge, but his fist seemed to be sucked in by something. He had to pull hard to free it.
In a duel between masters, every second counts; a slight difference can lead to a huge error. In that instant, Liu Xiaoyuan's kick landed squarely on Ye Zifan, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Although this kick didn't contain any internal energy, its force was enough to give Ye Zifan a hard time.
Ye Zifan fell heavily to the ground, then groaned and fainted!
Everyone present was astonished to see Ye Zifan defeated so easily, especially his fans. In their minds, Ye Zifan was a god of war, someone who could never be defeated. However, he was defeated by Liu Xiaoyuan with a single kick, which was hard for them to accept.
The happiest people in the room were Lu Siyao and Tang Xuan. They were overjoyed to see Liu Xiaoyuan win. Lu Siyao even jumped up and shouted, "Liu Xiaoyuan, you're the best!"
After Lu Siyao shouted, she immediately noticed many unfriendly eyes looking at her, and she couldn't help but restrain herself a bit.
Upon seeing Ye Zifan collapse to the ground, someone from the Ye family immediately went up to check on him. Only after seeing that Ye Zifan had simply fainted did the Ye family members breathe a sigh of relief.
"You went too far, didn't you?" An elder of the Ye family asked Liu Xiaoyuan, his eyes narrowed.
Ye Zifan's fans all looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with eyes that seemed to want to devour him, because Liu Xiaoyuan hitting their idol was like slapping them in the face.
Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and said, "I'm already showing mercy by not using my Transformation Qi! When Ye Zifan used his Transformation Qi on me, why didn't you stop him? Hmph, is this the magnanimity of your Ye family?"
One sentence left the other person speechless, stammering and unsure of what to say.
At this moment, the head of the Ye family stepped onto the stage.
Today's duel was not lost by Ye Zifan, but by the Ye family. Ye Chengxin was naturally furious.
However, instead of venting their anger, they had to swallow it all down. If the Ye family made things difficult for Liu Xiaoyuan in front of so many people, it would only make others laugh at the Ye family even more, saying that they couldn't accept defeat!
"Third Elder, take Zifan to get treatment!" Ye Chengxin said to the elder who had spoken earlier as he walked onto the training ground.
Since the patriarch had spoken, the third elder of the Ye family had no choice but to take Ye Zifan down for treatment.
"Brother Liu, thank you for showing mercy!" Although Ye Chengxin was furious, he still had to pretend to thank Liu Xiaoyuan, because Liu Xiaoyuan was right. If Liu Xiaoyuan had used his internal energy, Ye Zifan would not have just fainted, but would have become a cripple.
Therefore, although Ye Chengxin was angry, he still had to say something polite, and it was indeed because Liu Xiaoyuan had shown leniency.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Brother Ye, you don't need to say any more polite words. You just need to manage your Ye family members well from now on. I won't do this every time!"
"I have other things to do, goodbye!" After saying this, Liu Xiaoyuan walked down from the training ground and went to Lu Siyao and Lin Xin's side.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, you're amazing! You're so amazing!" Lu Siyao said excitedly.
Tang Xuan originally wanted to congratulate Liu Xiaoyuan, but seeing Lu Siyao's excited expression, she swallowed the words she was about to say.
Seeing that Tang Xuan seemed hesitant to speak, Liu Xiaoyuan quickly asked, "Tang Xuan, is something the matter?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's question, Tang Xuan quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing, congratulations, Xiaoyuan!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "There's nothing to congratulate about; it was expected."
"You two know each other?" Lu Siyao asked with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Yes, we were high school classmates."
"Really, what a coincidence! It's fate that we met here. My name is Lu Siyao, nice to meet you!" Lu Siyao extended her hand to greet Tang Xuan generously.
"Hello, my name is Tang Xuan!" Tang Xuan also extended her hand and shook hands with Lu Siyao in a generous manner.
