1021: Chapter 1021: Glory of the Strong 1021: Chapter 1021: Glory of the Strong Liu Qingqing didn’t linger on the Stone Platform, after bowing to Ren Jingbo and other high-level mbers of the Martial Academy, she leapt down from the platform,
“Big sister, you were amazing!”
“Qingqing, well done!”
“You two siblings have really raised the prestige of our team!”
“Next, it’s our turn!”
By the ti Liu Qingqing returned to Fang Bai and the others, Liu Liehu, Fang Bai, Huang Miao, and Hou Ziping each gave her a high-five in congratulations.
Their recent venture into the mountains not only yielded abundant Cultivation Resources, but everyone had also made significant progress in strength.
After returning to the Martial Academy, each of them decided to challenge higher-ranked disciples in order to receive more Cultivation Resources each month and increase the chances of interacting with the upper echelons.
While Fang Bai didn’t care much for the chance to interact with the higher-ups, for Huang Miao, Hou Ziping, and the others, it was sothing they longed for.
Next, Hou Ziping and Huang Miao each stepped onto the Stone Platform to choose their opponents for the challenge.
Previously, Hou Ziping had defeated Yang Wei, who ranked eighteenth among the Inner Court disciples, quickly rising to fa in the Inner Court.
This ti, his target was Yang Lin, who ranked third in the Inner Court disciples’ combat power list.
Yang Lin, having been defeated by Fang Bai in the past, had been prudent for a while after recovering from his injuries.
However, he harbored deep resentnt towards Fang Bai and Hou Ziping.
Seeing the great gains made by Fang Bai’s and Hou Ziping’s team, he couldn’t help but burn with jealousy.
Yang Lin had planned to lie low for a while and seek revenge against Fang Bai and Hou Ziping when the opportunity arose, but he didn’t expect Hou Ziping to actually directly challenge him by na.
“I may not have beaten Fang Bai, but can’t I take you down?
If I don’t leave you crying for your father and mother, begging for rcy, I won’t carry the surna Yang!
Here on this Stone Platform, with all eyes on us and the high-level mbers of the Martial Academy watching, even if I beat you to the ground searching for your teeth, Fang Bai can’t help you!”
Yang Lin looked at Hou Ziping, who had confidently leapt onto the Stone Platform, and sneered inwardly.
Almost simultaneously as Hou Ziping jumped up, he too soared high, lightly landing on the platform.
“Junior Brother Hou, please.”
“Senior Brother Yang, please.”
As Elder Tie Xing from the Enforcent Hall announced, “Begin,” Yang Lin and Hou Ziping exchanged a bow and then both launched their attacks at the sa ti.
Both n had secretly amassed their True Essence Force, and now they circulated their Cultivation Techniques, Essence Energy wildly surging through the ridians within their bodies, propelling their figures forward in a fierce charge, like two cannonballs blasting out of their barrels, producing a sharp whistling sound as they collided violently in the center of the Stone Platform.
Before their mountain expedition, Hou Ziping was no match for Yang Lin, but after comprehending a set of Desolate Level Martial Arts Techniques in the Stone Forest, Hou Ziping’s understanding of the Martial Dao had reached a new plateau, and his strength had surged, already surpassing Yang Lin.
With their strengths not differing much, the duel was much more exciting and intense than Liu Liehu’s and Liu Qingqing’s earlier challenges, offering better entertainnt and occasionally drawing cheers from the disciples below the platform.
Hou Ziping’s strength was clearly superior to Yang Lin’s, resulting in a more offensive and less defensive battle.
Yang Lin, on the other hand, grew increasingly alard as the fight progressed, seeing Hou Ziping, once known in the Inner Court for being timid, now on the verge of an upset, filling him with shock, rage, and desperation.
Martial Artists must avoid being impatient and flustered during a duel, and Hou Ziping was delighted to see Yang Lin lose his footing.
Seizing the opportunity, he launched a fierce attack, forcing Yang Lin to retreat step by step, rendering him powerless to turn the tide.
The two tumbled and battled intensely for nearly a hundred moves before Yang Lin was kicked off the Stone Platform by Hou Ziping.
Although his injuries were not serious, he suffered a great loss of face.
After Hou Ziping, Huang Miao was about to take the stage, but Tu Hu leaped onto the Stone Platform first.
“Reporting to the Academy Head, during my recent venture into the mountains for cultivation training, I defeated Zhou Tong, who is ranked eighth among the Core Disciples.
Zhou Tong himself can testify, as can several cultivation teams.
Please, Headmaster, look into this matter.”
Upon reaching the Stone Platform, Tu Hu didn’t challenge anyone but loudly declared these few sentences.
These brief words prompted an uproar among the thousands of disciples present.
Tu Hu was the top fighter among the Inner Court Disciples, and Zhou Tong was ranked eighth among the Core Disciples.
Logically, there was a small realm difference between their strengths, with Zhou Tong possessing the combat power to instantly defeat Tu Hu.
Yet, Tu Hu suddenly announced that he had defeated Zhou Tong, confidently stating that both Zhou Tong and several cultivation teams could testify.
Moreover, from the look on Tu Hu’s face, he did not appear to be lying.
Could it be that during his recent venture into the mountains, Tu Hu had advanced an entire small realm, gained strength comparable to Zhou Tong’s, and even surpassed him in combat power?
Before long, Zhou Tong, who had been seriously injured by Tu Hu in the Bitao Mountain Range and had not yet recovered, was helped onto the Stone Platform by two Martial Academy Disciples, accompanied by mbers of several teams that had witnessed his duel with Tu Hu.
Upon reaching the platform, Zhou Tong and the others personally confird everything Tu Hu had just said was true.
The thousands of disciples at Bitao Martial Academy stirred once again, and everyone looked at Tu Hu with admiration and awe.
For the first ti, Tu Hu experienced what it felt like to be the center of attention and quickly grew fond of it.
This was the glory belonging to the powerful!
Without having to lift a finger, Tu Hu had taken Zhou Tong’s place, becoming the new number eight powerhouse on the Core Disciples’ combat rank list.
anwhile, Zhou Tong, after sustaining heavy injuries from Tu Hu during their mountain venture, had to return halfway without gaining any cultivation resources.
Furthermore, with Tu Hu entering the ranks of the Core Disciples, he had to face the temporary consequence of being removed from the Core Disciples.
“Now that Tu Hu has beco a Core Disciple, doesn’t that naturally make —the forr second-ranked fighter of the Inner Court—the top powerhouse of the Inner Court?
My challenge target now can only be the Core Disciples.”
Thinking this, Huang Miao watched as Tu Hu leaped delightedly from the Stone Platform and then she herself gracefully stepped onto it, declaring crisply, “Inner Court Disciple Huang Miao challenges Core Disciple Qi Dongsheng!”
The thousands of Martial Artists below the stage were again astonished at Huang Miao’s words, thinking that the mbers of this cultivation team seed to be as mad as hatters.
To this point, apart from Fang Bai, everyone else from her team had already defeated their opponents and achieved their goals.
Qi Dongsheng was clearly soone who loved to fight.
Hearing soone challenge him, he excitedly howled like a mber of the Wolf Clan, his figure turning into a blur as he appeared in front of Huang Miao on the Stone Platform.
“Co on, Junior Sister Huang, show what you’ve got!
Don’t let down!”
Qi Dongsheng beckoned to Huang Miao with a hook of his hand, grinning as he spoke.
To tell the truth, Huang Miao did not have much confidence in her battle with Qi Dongsheng.
She chose to challenge him to gauge just how much she still had to improve to reach the level of a Core Disciple.
