Chapter 613

Qi Qi Xuancheng's face turned iron-green, yet he had no choice but to admit Lin Lin Jingyu's strength.

Without a word, he picked up his sword, turned, and leaped down from the arena.

"Does any senior brother wish to offer instruction?" Lin Lin Jingyu smiled, looking at the few who had previously tried to kill him.

The few fell silent.

Medicine King Peak was mostly alchemists; their martial arts talent was not strong. Though they possessed great cultivation base in Marrow Cleansing, it was all piled up by elixirs. Individually, none of them were Lin Lin Jingyu's match.

"Detestable! If only Yan Yan Guiyun were here!" Many from Ziyang Sect clenched their fists.

Qi Qi Xuancheng and Zhang Zhang Hanzhou, these two geniuses who had begun to assault the Heavenly Yuan realm, had both been defeated. Few dared claim they could surely defeat Lin Lin Jingyu if they stepped onto the stage.

For a moment, the entire Ziyang Sect seemed suppressed by Lin Lin Jingyu; no one dared to emerge.

Lin Lin Jingyu sneered, then suddenly looked at Xu Yang: "Brother Xu, may you come up and spar a few moves? Let me, Lin, witness the mysteries of the Golden Jin Gang Qi."

He had not heard Xu Yang's name before, but he knew Li Li Lingdu's son, Li Li Chuyang, was a very arrogant and very strong person.

Yet just now, from afar, he had seen Li Li Chuyang knocked flying by a single punch from Xu Yang and forced to admit defeat on the spot.

"Swish!"

In an instant, Xu Yang seemed to hear the sound of gazes turning.

Across the entire training ground, everyone's gaze fell squarely upon Xu Yang.

Qi Qi Xuancheng had already been defeated; Xu Yang stepping up would be of no help. But since Lin Lin Jingyu had specifically challenged him to witness the Golden Jin Gang Qi, Xu Yang could not refuse.

Do not think the Elders, Peak Masters, and Sect Master above acted indifferent; that was merely them not showing it, unwilling to descend before the juniors. If Xu Yang showed cowardice at this moment, it would be the entire Ziyang Sect's face that was lost.

Let alone the possibility of injury; even the possibility of death would require him to go up.

"A good show is about to begin!"

Song Song Yushao and Elder Liu Liu Qingyuan both showed expressions of schadenfreude. Although Xu Yang would not die, injury was inevitable.

Some others also wore faces full of schadenfreude.

"You will accompany Lin Lin Jingyu in sparring a few moves," Elder Elder Huoyun spoke.

He understood Xu Yang's nature too well; even if Xu Yang could win, he might not fight such a meaningless match, let alone now when he could not win.

If he did not speak first, Xu Yang would most likely directly refuse to spar with Lin Lin Jingyu.

Although there was danger, if Xu Yang dared not step onto the arena under these circumstances, even with Zhang Zhang Jingyuan's good temper, he would be held accountable afterward.

"Disciple obeys!" Xu Yang cupped his hands.

Du Chuan and the others looked at Xu Yang with faces full of sympathy, knowing Xu Yang was in trouble and would likely have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month.

"Try not to clash fists with him; his fists are very heavy and very hard," Qi Qi Xuancheng, his face pale, warned.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. He and Li Li Chuyang had sung the same tune, giving Li Li Chuyang the chance to challenge Xu Yang, and both were under Elder Liu Liu Qingyuan's gate. By all rights, he should not be warning Xu Yang.

"Their fist power is peerless and fierce, but speed is their weakness. With your strength, if you can suppress them in speed, there may be a chance to win," Zhang Zhang Hanzhou also spoke.

Although he had not fought Lin Lin Jingyu, both Lin Lin Jingyu and Huang Xiao used the Bai Hu Shatters Gold Fist. He had fought Huang Xiao for dozens of moves and understood the Bai Hu Shatters Gold Fist better than Qi Qi Xuancheng.

His main problem was insufficient strength; he could not break through Huang Xiao's defense. Otherwise, the winner would have been him.

Xu Yang nodded lightly.

"Admit defeat after a few exchanges!" Ye Ye Qiuling whispered, clearly not believing Xu Yang could defeat Lin Lin Jingyu.

Although Zhang Zhang Hanzhou knew the weakness of the Bai Hu Shatters Gold Fist, actual combat was not just about talking.

Since he was forced onto the arena anyway, admitting defeat after fending off a few moves would preserve the Sect's face while keeping himself uninjured.

Xu Yang looked at Ye Ye Qiuling in surprise, not expecting her to teach him this. He shook his head lightly.

Ye Ye Qiuling paused. What did the head shake mean? Was he determined to fight to the death without yielding? Or did he think Zhang Zhang Hanzhou's method could defeat Lin Lin Jingyu?

Her red lips parted slightly; she wanted to ask Xu Yang what the head shake meant, but Xu Yang was already striding toward the arena.

Across the entire training ground, basically everyone's gaze was fixed on Xu Yang. While worried, they were also full of hope, hoping Xu Yang could defeat Lin Lin Jingyu and restore some honor to Ziyang Sect.

"Brother Zhang, earlier I observed from afar that this youth bears the Golden Jin Gang Qi. I do not know which cultivation method he practices. To my knowledge, Ziyang Sect has no cultivation method for the Golden Jin Gang Qi," said the Valley Master of Huang Feng Valley.

Even he was curious about which cultivation method Xu Yang practiced.

Zhang Zhang Jingyuan shook his head: "Xu Yang's cultivation method for the Golden Jin Gang Qi did not originate from Ziyang Sect, but came from another opportunity. As for which one, I do not know either."

The Valley Master of Huang Feng Valley ceased asking, his gaze falling on Xu Yang, who had already stepped onto the arena.

"Brother Xu, please offer instruction!" Lin Lin Jingyu cupped his hands.

Xu Yang's gaze was steady; he also cupped his hands: "Please!"

The entire training ground fell silent. Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed intently on the two, fearing to miss any detail.

However, after both finished cupping their hands, neither made a move.

Xu Yang stood like a mountain peak and a deep pool, standing still. He had come onto the stage unwillingly, so he had no desire to strike.

Lin Lin Jingyu was somewhat self-restrained, thinking Xu Yang would initiate the attack like Qi Qi Xuancheng, waiting to counter each move. He never expected Xu Yang would not move at all.

"Be careful!" Lin Lin Jingyu roared low. The Jin Gang Qi within his body surged into motion.

His robes billowed. Crimson Jin Gang Qi gushed out from his pores, vibrating the air and creating a roar.

The Jin Gang Qi was like a tide. Lin Lin Jingyu tapped his toe on the arena, took a large step forward, and his overwhelming aura swept out like a violent storm.

"Boom!"

The surging Jin Gang Qi roared, quickly gathering at the fist tip. The crimson, thick fist tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

Bai Hu Shatters Gold Fist!

The domineering fist pressure charged straight at Xu Yang with the momentum of a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking. Had not Yang Yang Yuanzhou protected the arena, the entire platform would have shattered. Xu Yang felt a pressure pressing down on him, his body sinking slightly.

"What a fist technique!" Xu Yang praised.

If such a fierce fist technique were in his hands, its power would be even more astonishing. Pity it was Huang Feng Valley's supreme art; he could not learn it.

Ripples visible to the naked eye swept across; in his ears, it was like thunder.

Xu Yang's gaze grew increasingly sharp. After suppressing the vast majority of his strength, he shuddered all over, shattering the fist pressure pressing on him. His entire body seemed to break free from bonds; his joints roared, and his blood and qi surged.

Golden Jin Gang Qi surged through him, crashing into his fist; Xu Yang moved as well.

He strode forward, his body vanishing instantly from the spot; a golden fist tore through the air, striking out like lightning.

"Boom!"

Like a muffled thunderclap exploding, fierce winds rose; two fist pressures had already clashed first, sending invisible spiritual pressure sweeping outward.

"Come then!" Lin Lin Jingyu let out a long roar.

He had thought Xu Yang dared not exchange fist blows with him; he never expected Xu Yang also favored such head-on, fierce combat, meeting his move with a move as sharp as a needle tip against a wheat awn.

He couldn't help but feel delighted at the sight of a worthy opponent, increasing the power in his fist by another fraction.

"Arrogant fool!" Qi Qi Xuancheng sneered coldly.

Just from Xu Yang's stance, he knew Xu Yang intended to exchange fist blows with Lin Lin Jingyu; he had clearly already warned Xu Yang to beware of Lin Lin Jingyu's fist, yet Xu Yang had not listened in the slightest, clashing head-on with Lin Lin Jingyu on the very first move.

Did Xu Yang think he was joking, or did he think he was exaggerating, failing to take Lin Lin Jingyu seriously?

"So reckless!" Zhang Zhang Hanzhou frowned as well.

He wielded a semi-spirit weapon yet still could not break the Bai Hu Shattering Gold Fist; for Xu Yang's flesh-and-blood body to hope to break the Bai Hu Shattering Gold Fist was simply a dream of a fool.

If the Bai Hu Shattering Gold Fist were so easily broken, he and Qi Qi Xuancheng would not have been slaughtered, stripped of their armor and scattered.

"Daring to exchange fist blows with Junior Brother Lin Lin Jingyu; simply seeking death," Huang Xiao sneered coldly.

The fists of the Huang Feng Valley are no joke; their fists are harder and sharper than semi-spirit weapons. Anyone daring to resist them bare-handed generally ends up with broken bones and snapped tendons.

Although his physical cultivation base had reached the minor success stage of body forging, he absolutely could not withstand Lin Lin Jingyu's fist.

Not only them, but many others shook their heads, silently sighing at Xu Yang's recklessness, mistaking Lin Lin Jingyu for Li Li Chuyang.

Had he fought a few rounds with Lin Lin Jingyu before admitting defeat, he would not have been injured; now, walking off the arena unharmed would be difficult; his injuries might even be heavier than Qi Qi Xuancheng's.

Amidst the disappointed expressions of everyone, two fists like meteors crashed together.

"Crash!"

The two fists collided like two great mountains; a visible shockwave raged outward, sweeping in all directions.

Below the arena, numerous disciples raised their protective Jin Gang Qi, anticipating the scene of Xu Yang's fist shattering, screaming as he was blasted backward.

Xu Yang lifted his eyelids slightly, calmly observing the genius of the Huang Feng Valley; the other's face was youthful, appearing no older than twenty, likely a Dragon-Ascending disciple from the same cohort as Xu Qing.

Of course, he still looked somewhat older than him.

He is forever eighteen!

Vigorous energy surged, sweeping outward like a terrifying storm, engulfing the entire arena and obscuring both figures, yet it dissipated quickly.

When their forms reappeared, both fist Jin Gang had nearly exploded and vanished, leaving bare fists continuing to collide.

Xu Yang was very satisfied with this result; he controlled the power he displayed to match Lin Lin Jingyu's exactly.

"Crash!"

Flesh and blood collided, producing another massive roar, like the clash of gold and iron.
