Chapter 598
There was an uproar all around, and everyone looked curiously at the man who spoke up to challenge Han Feng.
"Senior Brother Sun?"
On the stage, Xu Yang and Lu Ren both widened their eyes; the one who wanted to challenge Han Feng was none other than Sun Tao.
They never expected it would be Sun Tao.
"Senior Brother Sun, what's going on?" Lu Ren frowned and looked at Xu Yang.
To dare to challenge Han Feng, Sun Tao's cultivation must be at least at Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing, but how is this possible? Sun Tao only broke through to Marrow Cleansing a few months ago; how could he have reached Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing so quickly? It looks like his talent is much better than his own.
"I don't know either!"
Xu Yang shook his head, but his heart stirred.
Sun Tao's talent would have required at least a few years of grinding before it was possible to cleanse the marrow, but he accidentally picked a strange spiritual herb in the Yunling Mountain Range and took it, breaking into the Marrow Cleansing Realm overnight, and his body's anomalies lasted for many days before disappearing.
Reaching Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing so quickly, I'm afraid it has to do with that strange spiritual herb.
"Brother Sun is likely a late bloomer!" Jiang Fan smiled.
When they were in the Outer Sect, they lived in the same courtyard, and naturally, he and Sun Tao had a good relationship.
"What is your name?" Yang Yuanzhou looked in surprise at this unknown disciple; the other party's aura was deep, and his cultivation had almost reached Major Success in Marrow Cleansing.
Sun Tao was the center of attention, and his heart was so excited that he wanted to let out a long whistle. From today on, he, Sun Tao, would no longer be a nobody in the Profound Sun Sect.
"Disciple's name is Sun Tao, a disciple of the Li Huo Peak." Sun Tao cupped his hands.
Yang Yuanzhou was bewildered, and many disciples of the Li Huo Peak were also bewildered; they didn't know Sun Tao at all.
"Whose disciple is this?" asked Yue Zhong, the peak master of Li Huo Peak.
Then he discovered that the four great elders of Li Huo Peak were all bewildered; none of them knew this disciple named Sun Tao.
In an instant, he understood that this disciple named Sun Tao should have broken through to Marrow Cleansing in the Outer Sect, and although he entered the Li Huo Peak, no elder looked favorably upon him, so he didn't have a master.
Over here, no one else came out to challenge, and Xu Yang and the others had already retreated from the stage, giving up the stage.
It wasn't that Xiong Kun had to fight everyone who wanted to challenge him one by one, but rather to let everyone who wanted to challenge him fight each other, and choose the strongest one to fight Xiong Kun.
"Senior Brother Sun is truly astonishing!" Xu Yang cupped his hands with a smile.
Regardless of whether Sun Tao's challenge to Han Feng is successful, he has made a name for himself today. Everyone knows that a piece of trash whom no elder was willing to accept as a disciple has made a stunning appearance at the Ten Elites ranking challenge.
Lu Ren and Jiang Fan, the two people who knew Sun Tao, also walked over and offered their congratulations to Sun Tao.
Sun Tao was somewhat excited and responded with a smile.
"It wasn't satisfying enough last time. If you can satisfy me in a while, it's not impossible for me to let the Wanbao Pavilion sponsor you again."
Li Chuyang suddenly walked over and spoke to Xu Yang with a face full of fighting spirit.
A brief collision of two moves in the Heavenly Wind Valley resulted in a draw with Xu Yang, which he regarded as a great humiliation. Today is the opportunity to defeat Xu Yang in a fair and square manner.
Xu Yang glanced at Tao Huaijin, the shopkeeper of the Wanbao Pavilion on the viewing stand not far away, and said expressionlessly: "No need!"
"Are you afraid?"
Li Chuyang snorted coldly: "Why aren't you arrogant anymore? But it's useless; you can't hide today."
Xu Yang heard this and was too lazy to explain; what he meant was that he would no longer have any involvement with the Wanbao Pavilion.
"Li Chuyang, using power to oppress others is not a skill. Without Li Lingdu, you are nothing. If you want to fight, I will accompany you." Jiang Fan said coldly.
Li Chuyang's gaze was aggressive: "I will naturally have a battle with you."
He wants to fight Xu Yang, and even more so, he wants to fight Jiang Fan.
Time passed, and the group of people challenging Xiong Kun soon had a result; it was Xie Zhan who won.
However, he had already fought three matches and was currently meditating to adjust his breath.
"Han Feng, Sun Tao, get on the stage!"
Yang Yuanzhou shouted on the stage, starting the challenge between Sun Tao and Han Feng.
"Senior Brother Sun, may you have a successful start!" Xu Yang cupped his hands with a smile.
"I accept Junior Brother's auspicious words."
Sun Tao laughed loudly, spread his arms, and like a large bird taking flight, landed lightly on the stage.
"Please!" Han Feng also landed on the stage, his whole body erupting with fighting spirit.
Sun Tao was often with Xu Yang, so he naturally had seen Sun Tao, but no matter what, he never thought that the one challenging him today would be this person he had never valued.
The two didn't have too much nonsense; after a simple cupped-hand salute, they began to exchange blows.
Both of them had weapons, and they were both swords, but it seemed they wanted to compare fist and foot techniques first, so they tacitly didn't use their weapons.
"Be careful!"
Sun Tao's whole body's Gang Qi was like a tide. Facing Han Feng, the genius who had won first place in the Outer Sect competition, he actually took the initiative to attack.
Overbearing fist Gang Qi condensed on his hands, emitting a dazzling red light. He saw him stomp hard on the stage with his toes, and his body flew out, carrying the aura of a strong attack, rushing straight at Han Feng.
"Wind-Breaking Fist!" Xu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.
What Sun Tao was using was exactly the Wind-Breaking Fist he had exchanged from him, obtained from the Qingfeng Ridge.
In nearly two years, Sun Tao had also cultivated the Wind-Breaking Fist to the Major Success Realm.
The fist, fast as a meteor, tore through the air, emitting a harsh, sharp whistle. The air rippled visibly to the naked eye. Before the fist arrived, the agitated fist wind had already made Han Feng's body-protecting Gang Qi shake somewhat.
In an instant, Han Feng's expression became solemn. The momentum of this punch was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"This person was originally unknown; how could he become so fierce?"
Han Feng took a big step forward and also threw a punch, colliding head-on with Sun Tao.
"Bang!"
The two fists collided, emitting a dull, loud sound. The two fist Gang Qis collided, and the torn force rotated and swept away. The entire stage was shaking, booming and ringing. The Gang Qi on both their bodies surged violently, and they both let out a muffled grunt at the same time.
Sun Tao couldn't help but retreat, red light flashing on his body, and he retreated three steps before stopping his momentum.
Han Feng retreated even more, taking five steps in total before stopping, his face flushed.
"Colliding head-on, Han Feng is actually at a disadvantage?"
Everyone revealed a look of surprise; none of them expected this result.
"Senior Brother Sun has such a vigorous and pure Gang Qi!" Xu Yang's eyes were burning.
Sun Tao's Gang Qi was actually even purer and more vigorous than Han Feng's.
"Satisfying!"
Sun Tao let out a long whistle, his momentum rising greatly. He flashed forward and exerted the Wind-Breaking Fist to the extreme, one punch faster than the next, his power becoming more and more fierce.
After more than a dozen moves, Han Feng was actually forced to the edge of the stage by him, as if he couldn't parry his punches.
Those familiar with Sun Tao were shocked by his combat power. After a fierce battle, he seemed to have stimulated his potential, and his power had been increasing.
"Retreat for me!"
Brilliant light flashed in Han Feng's eyes; he knew that if this continued, he would inevitably be blasted off the stage by Sun Tao.
Finding an opportunity, he drew the long sword from his waist, and a crimson sword light swept away, forcing Sun Tao to retreat to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
The next moment, Sun Tao also drew his matching sword.
Drizzling Wind-Startling Sword!
Another cultivation method exchanged from Xu Yang was displayed, and sword Qi like a tide covered Han Feng.
"Boom boom……"
After exchanging dozens of moves again, and after shattering Han Feng's body-protecting Gang Qi several times, Han Feng had to admit the fact that he was not Sun Tao's opponent. Continuing to fight would only be a struggle for a while longer; defeat was a matter of time.
If he suffered serious injuries, he might really fall out of the Ten Elites List. By preserving his strength, he could still go and compete with Xiong Kun and Xie Zhan for the tenth position.
"I admit defeat!"
Thinking of this, Han Feng admitted defeat.
Sun Tao's surging Gang Qi calmed down, and he retreated to the side, cupping his hands, somewhat excitedly saying: "I accept the win."
At this moment, he felt as if he were in a dream; he didn't expect that he could really reach this step and defeat Han Feng, the ninth of the Ten Elites.
You must know that the former Han Feng was a genius he could hardly look up to.
Wow!
Under the stage, all the Inner Sect disciples were in an uproar. The famous genius Han Feng, the genius who won first place in the Outer Sect competition, was actually defeated by a nobody.
Before today, ninety-nine percent of them had never heard the name Sun Tao.
"What exactly was the spiritual herb that Senior Brother Sun took?" Xu Yang was secretly shocked in his heart.
He discovered that Sun Tao's changes seemed to have not ended yet, or rather, he hadn't finished absorbing the medicinal effect of that spiritual herb.
"Han Feng actually lost!"
Lu Ren revealed an incredible look; he himself didn't have the confidence to defeat Han Feng, and he didn't expect that Sun Tao, who had always been inferior to him, had actually done it, and won quite easily.
"Not good!" Xiong Kun's face changed greatly.
