Extraordinary Demon King Soldier Chapter 704 - 702: Heroes Cherish Heroes

"Lost? Lost? What's going on here?"

Zhao Chunxue was dumbfounded.

Brother Hei and a group of pickpockets were all stunned as well.

According to Zhao Chunxue, the result should be that whoever gets closer to the pit wins. But now, Monk Duren is standing right at the edge, clearly he won.

How did he lose?

Everyone was bewildered.

At that mont, Monk Duren smiled faintly and spoke, "You heard right, I indeed lost this battle. That young brother wasn't wrong. Logically, whoever gets closer to the pit should win.

However, you all overlooked one thing. I used the Eighteen Arhat Palm technique, which consists of only eighteen strikes.

Brother Ye Qiu competed with , and with his strength, he could definitely have made eighteen strikes in the sa ti. But he only made seventeen and a half strikes. He didn't use the last one.

The location he's standing at now, although a bit distant from the pit, is actually because he needed to adjust his stance to deliver his palm strikes.

Put simply, Brother Ye Qiu held back on the last strike to show so respect. In other words, I lost by one strike because if he had used his final strike, I would have undoubtedly lost."

"Brother Ye Qiu, what incredible skills you have. I am truly impressed," Monk Duren clasped his fists towards Ye Qiu again.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would be utterly shocked.

Even so geniuses from the Hidden Clan would be no exception!

Because Monk Duren is no ordinary person!

He may seem like a monk, but he's indeed the heir of the Shao Family from the Hidden Clan!

The most outstanding genius of the younger generation in the Shao Family!

Even many elders in the Shao Family have to be highly respectful to Monk Duren!

And now, this genius, a top expert, is continually clasping his fists for Ye Qiu, highly recognizing Ye Qiu's strength.

How could this not be shocking?

If there were people from other Hidden Clans present in today's battle, Ye Qiu's fa would surely spread quickly!

And Ouyang Xuan, who once ambushed Ye Qiu, mocked him, and set a one-year agreent with him, would definitely find his past provocations laughable if he saw today's scene.

Ye Qiu didn't know Monk Duren's real identity, and he didn't care. Although Monk Duren's arrival was sowhat unexpected and a bit rash, it didn't make Ye Qiu angry.

During the fight, Ye Qiu clearly sensed a righteous aura from him.

This was enough to prove that Monk Duren had no ill intentions towards Ye Qiu.

Moreover, this battle, although very short, made Ye Qiu feel extrely satisfied, and he acknowledged Monk Duren as well.

Ye Qiu smiled, clasped his fists towards Monk Duren, and said with a smile, "You're being modest. This battle was at most a draw."

"Brother, this battle was definitely the most satisfying I've ever experienced in my life. Your strength truly exceeded my expectations, and this battle gave so new insights. However, there are so things I don't quite understand. Why don't we find a place to exchange knowledge? It could help us both enhance our skills," Monk Duren looked at Ye Qiu with eager anticipation.

The ultimate goal of his outing this ti was to improve his skills. After all, his strength hadn't improved for nearly a year, and the battle with Ye Qiu did provide Monk Duren with so new insights.

Monk Duren also noticed that Ye Qiu's techniques had flaws, but they also had many strengths, giving Monk Duren hope to overco his own shortcomings.

"Hahaha!" Ye Qiu clearly had the sa idea, laughing twice, he said, "In that case, let's go to that small mountain over there and talk."

He pointed to a small mountain not far away.

"Great, great!"

Monk Duren wasted no ti, disappearing in a flash towards the small mountain.

"Are you guys planning to go check it out?"

Ye Qiu turned to Brother Hei and the group of pickpockets, his gaze no longer as cold as before. Initially, he thought of teaching this group a lesson and then calling the police.

But now, having t Monk Duren, Ye Qiu lost interest in dealing with them. He was very keen to exchange knowledge with Monk Duren.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm leaving, I'm leaving..."

Brother Hei, terrified out of his wits, could barely stand, apologized repeatedly, and quickly led his n away in a panicked escape.

Zhao Chunxue squatted by the roadside.

He felt utterly dejected.

Being a little narrow-minded, he hadn't forgotten being kicked away by Monk Duren and naturally hoped Ye Qiu would give Monk Duren a good lesson.

But what was the result? It left Zhao Chunxue feeling very aggrieved.

Ye Qiu and Monk Duren fought for so long, and surprisingly they ended up befriending each other!

And now they were off to discuss life!

"Damn it, I, Zhao Chunxue, a disciple of the elder, was completely ignored. Ye Qiu, I curse you, I curse you!"

Zhao Chunxue mumbled as he picked up a stick to draw circles in the dirt.

He waited there the entire night.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu and Monk Duren ca down from the mountain, chatting and laughing.

Throughout the night, they discussed many things. Ye Qiu shared his combat experiences without reservation, and Monk Duren was equally forthcoming, impressive Ye Qiu with his insights, particularly those about Half-Step Divinity Transformation, focusing on control of power.

This allowed Ye Qiu to learn a lot. As Monk Duren had been at the Half-Step Divinity Transformation stage for quite so ti, many of his experiences were unknown to Ye Qiu, helping him avoid many detours in the future.

In just one night, their relationship developed to the point where they seed like lifelong friends who had known each other for decades.

They shared a camaraderie of mutual admiration and appreciation.

Soon, they found Zhao Chunxue, squatting and drawing circles, muttering curses. Ye Qiu kicked Zhao Chunxue, sending him flying, saying lightly, "Stop cursing, we're setting off. Earlier, Brother Duren and I discussed and decided to go to Shaolin Temple, thinking it might be very beneficial."

Then Ye Qiu ignored Zhao Chunxue, imdiately heading towards Shaolin Temple with Monk Duren, chatting and laughing about their cultivation insights.

"Damn, you heartless scoundrel, you jerk, stop right there, stop there!"

Zhao Chunxue jumped up furiously, cursing incessantly as he chased after them.
