"A duel?"
Seeing Ye Qiu about to duel with the Great Success Abbot, Zhi Cheng was secretly pleased because the abbot intended to judge right from wrong by winning or losing. He thought to himself, "The abbot is using such an unreliable thod to determine right and wrong, it seems he's still on my side.
The strength of the Great Success Abbot, how could a re Ye Qiu compare to it? Ye Qiu is definitely going to lose this ti!"
Xi Bing was also very pleased. He said nothing, rely giving Zhi Cheng a look, clearly implying that Ye Qiu was dood.
The Great Success Abbot did not intend to waste any more ti. He gestured to Ye Qiu with a welcoming hand and said with a smile, "In that case, let's begin!"
"Gladly." Ye Qiu also cupped his hands in respect!
All the surrounding Shaolin disciples widened their eyes, staring intently at both Ye Qiu and the Great Success Abbot!
The Great Success Abbot taking action himself, this was much rarer than the Eighteen Arhats!
Such an opportunity was definitely not to be missed!
Almost all the Shaolin disciples present wanted to see who was stronger—the terrifyingly powerful Ye Qiu or the long-hidden Great Success Abbot!
Just as everyone was filled with anticipation, Ye Qiu and the Great Success Abbot both made their moves!
Whoosh—whoosh—
Accompanied by gusts of strong wind, the two simultaneously struck out with a palm!
Bam!
Almost instantly, Ye Qiu's and the Great Success Abbot's palms collided. The force wasn't great, nor was it as dramatic as when fighting the Eighteen Arhats!
However, this did not an they weren't using their full strength.
On the contrary, to express their respect for each other, they were using all their strength.
They rely restrained their power!
Everything appeared so simple and sincere!
After the collision of their palms, the victor was imdiately decided.
"This lad's strength really is astonishing!" the Great Success Monk muttered to himself, stepping back two steps.
Ye Qiu, on the other hand, stood unwavering like a mountain.
Seeing this scene, all the Shaolin disciples' faces froze!
No one had expected this result!
Before this, they had neither spoken nor speculated, but almost everyone believed that the Great Success Abbot would not lose!
But now, with the result being the Great Success Abbot retreating two steps, it was clear he had lost to Ye Qiu!
This left all the present Shaolin disciples utterly shocked beyond asure.
"This can't be, it can't be!"
"It shouldn't be like this..."
Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing were both stunned, standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for the mont, their eyes showing hints of panic.
At first, when they heard the Great Success Abbot was to duel with Ye Qiu, they all thought the Great Success Abbot trusted them and only wanted to settle the matter smoothly by doing so.
After all, with the Great Success Abbot having been in seclusion for so long, his strength was unfathomable, and theoretically, it was impossible for him to lose to Ye Qiu.
But now, the Great Success Abbot actually lost to Ye Qiu just like that.
However, just when everyone thought Ye Qiu had won, Ye Qiu smiled, cupped his hands respectfully towards the Great Success Abbot and said, "The Great Success Abbot truly lives up to his reputation, his strength is formidable, and I lost this battle."
I lost.
These three words were not Ye Qiu being polite with the Great Success Abbot; he genuinely lost. During their clash, Ye Qiu clearly felt the Great Success Abbot's power was stronger and more robust.
But at the last critical mont, the Great Success Abbot controlled his power, even deliberately retreating two steps.
Ye Qiu more or less guessed the Great Success Abbot's intention, likely wanting to test whether he was honest.
However, even if the Great Success Abbot did not have such thoughts and was rely giving Ye Qiu so face, Ye Qiu would admit his loss without hesitation.
He did not feel ashad about this.
He did not feel it was disgraceful.
After all, the Great Success Abbot had been in seclusion for so long, and it had been a very long ti since he stepped into Half-Step Divinity Transformation, perhaps even possessing the Buddhist Sect's inheritance. Losing to him was naturally normal.
Ye Qiu never considered himself invincible.
He would always firmly rember one phrase: There's always soone better, always another sky!
Ye Qiu's words left the surrounding Shaolin disciples bewildered again, all looking at Ye Qiu in confusion.
"Hahaha!" At this mont, the Great Success Abbot suddenly laughed heartily, saying joyfully, "Ye Qiu, as expected of the Huaxia Demon King, the god of Huaxia's army, the protector of Huaxia people; your titles truly live up to their nas. I thought with all your titles, you'd love your face too much to admit losing to , but you admitted it so straightforwardly."
"This shows that your growth to this point was not without reason, it was inevitable, I am impressed!"
Hearing the Great Success Abbot say this, the surrounding Shaolin disciples finally understood.
It turned out the Great Success Abbot was testing Ye Qiu's character!
However, Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing's expressions were not good. Their faces were gloomy to the extre as they finally realized that the Great Success Abbot had never trusted them from the very beginning!
"You two!" Almost simultaneously, the Great Success Abbot's gaze locked onto Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing, his face stern and imposing as he said, "You two have really disappointed . You've been at the Shaolin Temple for so long, yet your hearts are still tainted by the secular world.
Today, I must punish you both. You are to copy the Daluo Heart Scripture five hundred tis each, and you can only stop once you finish.
I give you a year. If you don't complete it, then leave the Shaolin Temple. Additionally, Zhi Cheng, you are no longer suited to be the manager of the Outer Courtyard with your current mindset, so I relieve you of your duties temporarily."
Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing both hung their heads, faces darkened, no longer speaking.
At this point, they knew clearly that saying anything was futile, and could only bury their resentnt towards Ye Qiu deep in their hearts.
The Great Success Abbot ignored Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing further, but turned to Monk Duren with a smile, eyes filled with even more respect than when he looked at Ye Qiu earlier.
Before, when Zhao Chunxue and Zhi Cheng were arguing, he really didn't know who was right or wrong. Even though he knew Ye Qiu was the Huaxia Demon King, he couldn't be sure of the outco.
However, at that mont, Monk Duren suddenly had a jade pendant in his hand, held in his palm, unseen by Ye Qiu but caught by the Great Success Abbot's eyes.
The Great Success Abbot finally realized that Monk Duren was no ordinary person, he was a descendant of the hidden Shao Family!
By this point, the Great Success Abbot naturally had clarity in his mind.
Both the Huaxia Demon King and the Shao Family's descendant appearing together, how could these two possibly do anything excessive?
Clearly, it was Zhi Cheng and Xi Bing causing trouble!
"If the three benefactors are willing to oblige, please follow to the Inner Courtyard, the three of us can have a discussion." Under the shocked gazes all around, the Great Success Abbot said to the three of Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu and Monk Duren exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
