"Ling Haotian... actually... lost?"
The entire arena was silent; no one had anticipated such an outco. The gaze towards Li Yu’er was filled with deep shock.
Ling Haotian’s prowess was undeniable; even the Purple Robed Marquis, who stood out among hundreds of young elites, was defeated by his hands.
Yet, against Li Yu’er, he was powerless; the battle was decided in just two moves!
Although Ling Haotian still had the ability to fight, from the battle scene just now, it was clear that even if Ling Haotian persisted, he would still be the one to lose, without a shred of suspense.
Li Yu’er, despite having a normal constitution, not possessing any demon-like physique, had cultivated the Clumsy Fist to an extrely deep realm. His strength was at the peak of Early Lord Realm, matching Ling Haotian.
In such a situation, whoever had the stronger Cultivation Technique, more exquisite martial arts, more mysterious secret technique, more powerful divine skills, and richer combat experience had the greater chance of winning.
In this regard, Li Yu’er was clearly a notch above Ling Haotian; the two were not on the sa level at all.
The people of the Ling Family were all in despair; unable to deal with an unknown Li Yu’er, how could they defeat Ye Fan, save face, and retrieve the Emperor Weapon?
Being unable to defeat Li Yu’er made all this talk empty, with even the hope of entering the top ten elusive.
In addition to Li Yu’er, the successor of Emperor Wen, Wen TaDou’s attack thod was extrely bizarre and powerful; Ling Haotian was even less of a match for him.
Moreover, the two Young Masters of the Western Region’s Buddha Demon Sect, one with peerless Demon Technique and the other with profound Buddha knowledge, each possessing great Buddha Divine Skills – neither would be easy to deal with.
Ling Family Ancestor Ling Yunzhi remained unflustered, but a faint trace of disappointnt was visible in his gaze towards Ling Haotian. He had hoped to use Ling Haotian to defeat Ye Fan and reclaim everything that belonged to the Ling Family, but now it seed that hope was dim.
"I don’t believe it; I won’t lose..."
Ling Haotian’s face was ferocious as he slowly rose from the ground.
"Phoenix Tribulation Regeneration Technique!"
Ling Haotian operated the secret technique; his shattered arm grew anew. At this mont, he exuded a dangerous aura, resembling a Demon God erging into the world.
Li Yu’er faced him calmly, starkly contrasting with Ling Haotian, with no semblance of aura at all, like a completely ordinary person without any Cultivation, yet he could confront him without falling behind.
No matter how Ling Haotian’s aura increased, Li Yu’er remained like a lonely boat in the furious sea, seemingly hazardous but never capsizing.
"Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, Holy Light is invincible!"
Ling Haotian shouted as he struck a punch, the dazzling Holy Light dispelling all obstacles, using the Holy Light Technique of Xuandi Fist, its power shocking the heavens.
Ye Fan secretly furrowed his brow; Ling Haotian’s progress with the Holy Light Technique was significant compared to before. If he had such strength during the Immortal Academy sparring match, Ye Fan would undoubtedly have been defeated.
Li Yu’er made no defense and still struck straight forward with a punch, intertwining the two completely different Divine Powers of life and death, confronting Ling Haotian’s Holy Light Technique.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, Li Yu’er did not retreat a single step, his right sleeve completely turned to dust, revealing a sturdy arm with a bronze-like sheen.
Ling Haotian was thrown back once more, his right hand bizarrely twisted, clearly having a broken arm bone, his five fingers dripping blood steadily.
At this mont, Ling Haotian’s heart was both shocked and dejected; shocked that Li Yu’er’s strength was so formidable, surpassing him by more than one level.
Dejected because he couldn’t even defeat Li Yu’er; how could he challenge Ye Fan to wipe away the past disgrace? To reclaim everything that should have belonged to him?
"Haotian, co back; you are not his opponent!"
The Ling Family’s Saint looked as if he’d swallowed a dead child, his face looking grim to the extre.
Originally intending to use this competition among the younger generation of the Five Domains for Ling Haotian to decisively defeat Ye Fan, erasing the past disgrace, showcasing the Ling Family’s pride, and reclaiming everything that belonged to them.
Now, with Ye Fan yet to take action, just an unknown Li Yu’er on stage had defeated Ling Haotian, a result they couldn’t accept.
However—
Even if they couldn’t accept it, they had to; Ling Haotian was the hope of the whole Ling Family, and couldn’t afford to fall. They could only admit defeat, lest further battle would result in greater disgrace.
"No, I haven’t lost yet, I must win!"
Ling Haotian stubbornly stood on the battlefield once again, using Phoenix Tribulation Regeneration Technique, rejoining his broken arm bone.
"Co back!"
The Ling Family’s Saint’s face was ashen, saying coldly, "Are you still not ashad enough?"
"I..."
Ling Haotian felt extrely aggrieved, wanting desperately to use a Forbidden Secret Technique to tear Li Yu’er apart on stage.
But he also knew that while he had a Forbidden Secret Technique, the other surely did as well. Even if Li Yu’er didn’t have any or wouldn’t risk using a Forbidden Secret Technique, the elders overseeing the contest wouldn’t allow him to act as an assassin.
Thinking of this, Ling Haotian had to suppress his inner rage, coldly glaring at Li Yu’er, solemnly saying, "Don’t get too proud; in a real battle of life and death, you would be the one to die!"
Li Yu’er remained calm: "Your heart is filled with hatred and slaughter; how can your Cultivation ascend to the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man? If you can’t let go of the obsession in your heart, you’ll have no chance of defeating in this lifeti."
Hmm?
Ling Haotian trembled all over, silently gazing at Li Yu’er for a mont, then took a deep breath before stepping down from the Life and Death Battle Arena.
The two defeats were a huge blow to Ling Haotian’s mind in proving Dao, sending him crashing from Heaven to Hell, and the invincible belief he had just built crumbled completely.
From this mont on, Ling Haotian was disconnected from the strongest of the young generation. A heart filled with hatred and killing shackled his cultivation.
Just as Li Yu’er said, if Ling Haotian cannot abandon his obsessions and murderous intent, he will never be able to ascend to the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man; the Lord Realm will be his highest achievent in this life, with no further breakthroughs possible.
This Heavenly Pride, Ling Haotian, actually lost to a virtually unknown Li Yu’er, which ca as a great surprise to everyone.
"Ling Haotian actually lost, truly unbelievable."
"That young man looks very ordinary, and he didn’t even use a Holy Embryo."
"His moves seed straightforward, his martial arts very basic, even sowhat clumsy, yet he defeated the strongest successor of the Di Clan, Ling Haotian, it’s simply incredible."
Many people were discussing, speculating about the mysterious background of this seemingly ordinary youth.
At this mont, the Old Emperor of the Yuehua Dynasty slowly stepped forward, wearing a dragon robe and a Purple Gold Dragon Crown, seeming majestic despite his old age, not to be underestimated by anyone.
"This young talent must have inherited from Elder Zhuo Shan. This Clumsy Fist, even with ordinary physique, can be cultivated to its peak, having been lost for tens of thousands of years, yet reappears in the world again."
The Old Emperor’s eyes shot two dragon-shaped Divine Lights, seemingly able to see through Li Yu’er.
"The Old Emperor’s eyes are like torches, the Dharma Eye is accurate, I have indeed received the inheritance from Elder Zhuo Shan!"
Li Yu’er said respectfully.
Except for those living fossil-level elders from Holy Lands and the Di Clan, almost no one in the younger generation knew who Elder Zhuo Shan was.
Seeing everyone’s puzzled expressions, the Old Emperor explained the origins of Elder Zhuo Shan and the Clumsy Fist to them, allowing Ye Fan to gain so understanding of Li Yu’er’s Clumsy Fist.
Clumsy Fist, great skill seems clumsy, a heavy sword without a sharp edge; although it seems like there’s no sophisticated martial arts, every move of the Clumsy Fist is refined to the extre, the pinnacle of Fist Technique.
Previously, ordinary people had also cultivated Clumsy Fist, but they rely adopted its form without being able to unleash its true power.
Li Yu’er received the authentic inheritance of Clumsy Fist, and while he possesses a very ordinary physique, he is perfectly suited to cultivate Clumsy Fist.
His Clumsy Fist has now reached the realm of preliminary mastery, and with dedicated cultivation, he is bound to revive the supre might of Clumsy Fist in the future.
Elder Zhuo Shan, despite having only an ordinary physique, was extraordinarily talented, creating the exceptional martial art, Clumsy Fist, which can rival Emperor-level Martial Techniques.
"What’s so great about Clumsy Fist? I don’t believe it’s that strong!"
Gu Xiao from the Gu Family camp said with disdain.
"You go up and defeat him, restore face for our Di Clan!"
The Ancient Emperor’s progeny Gu Xian glanced at Gu Xiao, speaking lightly.
He didn’t ntion Ling Haotian’s defeat at all, instead elevating this sparring to a contest between the Di Clan and ordinary successors.
To him, Ling Haotian was nothing special; Ling Family’s Xuandi Fist wasn’t a match for the Clumsy Fist.
If Gu Xiao could defeat the Clumsy Fist successor Li Yu’er, not only would it restore the Di Clan’s honor, but it would also elevate the prestige of the Gu Family.
As an Emperor’s son, Gu Xian has a high vision, in his eyes only strong people deserve respect, the defeated have no qualification.
Receiving the guidance from the little ancestor, Gu Xiao sneered, stepping onto the battle stage, addressing Li Yu’er: "Are you very strong? Let weigh if you’re worthy or not."
Saying this, Gu Xiao transford into a Flowing Light, charging straight ahead, throwing a punch, lethal right from the start, without any nonsense.
"Boom!"
Gu Xiao threw a punch, Punch Ray like Serpent Dragon, seemingly tearing through the void, instantly covering the front, causing Heaven and Earth to collapse.
Swish!
Sensing the opponent’s strength, Li Yu’er dared not be careless, exercising Clumsy Fist to the extre, a seemingly ordinary punch containing two completely different forces of life and death, countering fiercely.
The Life and Death Battle Arena trembled, the two burst forth like two shining suns, emitting countless rays of brilliance, incredibly dazzling, making it hard to keep eyes open.
"What did I just see?"
"When did Gu Family’s strongest successor beco this strong?"
Gu Xiao’s explosive combat power caused astonished cries from everyone, no one expected that in just a month’s ti, Gu Xiao’s power had improved so dramatically.
To be aware, a month ago, he was defeated and captured by Ye Fan, and during the auction, the Gu Family spent an extravagant amount to redeem him.
In just a month, Gu Xiao’s strength had drastically changed, a trendous improvent from a month ago, how could it not be shocking?
"Could it be so sort of Forbidden Secret Technique from the Gu Family that forced growth, exploiting his potential?"
For a mont, everyone was guessing.
