Chapter 72

Saying this, he bent his legs and flicked, his whole person unfolding like a gust of wind, fighting with Zhang Yong.

"The martial arts of the Lie Feng Hall, named Shocking Wind Palm, is the same as the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist, and it also takes the fierce route..."

Xu Yang watched intently, not letting go of any detail.

During the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent, he might encounter Lie Feng Hall disciples. Observing now, it would be easier to deal with them when he encountered them during the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent.

Zhang Yong and Ji Jincheng were evenly matched. They fought for dozens of moves, and Zhang Yong barely won a move, winning the first game.

He didn't make a fatal move, just point-to-point.

Next, Qi Refining Small Completion fought three more games. The Lie Feng Hall won two games, and the Weiyuan Hall only won one. However, adding the game Zhang Yong won, it could be considered a draw.

Lin Cheng and Ji Yun kept talking and laughing, and seemed not to care about the outcome, and there didn't seem to be any discord.

At this time, on the Lie Feng Hall side, Yang Jun leaped into the field.

On the Weiyuan Hall side, only Zhang Hong was left who hadn't fought.

He was about to go on stage, but Yang Jun's gaze suddenly looked at Xu Yang here, and he said loudly: "Xu Yang, you bullied me when I hadn't reached Qi Refining in the past. Now that I have reached Qi Refining Small Completion, do you dare to come up and fight me?"

The disciples of the Weiyuan Hall were all stunned. This Yang Jun of the Lie Feng Hall actually challenged Xu Yang directly. Did the two have a grievance?

Everyone had a strange expression, and they didn't speak tacitly, but looked at Xu Yang. Even Ji Yun and Lin Cheng looked at him.

Xu Yang stood up, first cupped his hands to Ji Yun and Lin Cheng, and then looked at Yang Jun: "If you are representing the Lie Feng Hall to spar with the Weiyuan Hall disciples today, then it is inconvenient for me to go on stage."

"If you are fighting me for past grievances, then I will accompany you to the end."

If you are fighting me because of past grievances, then I will accompany you to the end."

"I invited you to the arena not only to represent the Fierce Wind Hall and exchange pointers with the disciples of the Mighty Far Hall, but also because of our past grievances," Yang Jun said coldly.

He would never forget the scene that day when both he and his mother were knocked down by Xu Yang.

"If this is about grievances, then life or death doesn't matter; we shall rely on our own means," Xu Yang said in a deep voice.

"As if I'm afraid of you!" Yang Jun dismissed it.

Xu Yang nodded, then looked at Lin Cheng and Ji Yun, cupping his hands and saying, "Yang Jun wishes to settle our grievances with me. I ask for Master and Senior Ji's permission."

Lin Cheng shook his head with a smile: "My Mighty Far Hall never interferes in the grievances between disciples. Since there is enmity between you, decide how to handle it yourselves. What do you think, Brother Ji?"

He was blooming with joy inside; this fellow Xu Yang was too cautious, making it hard to even get him to fight once.

Originally, he had intended to arrange for Xu Yang to fight in the Small Success of Qi Refining to temper his temperament, but he hadn't expected Xu Yang to reach Great Success. Fearing that Xu Yang's cultivation base hadn't stabilized, he hadn't asked him to fight.

With Yang Jun inviting the fight and Xu Yang guaranteed to win, how could he not agree?

Ji Yun nodded: "Since there is a grudge, then settle it yourselves. This match will not count as an exchange of pointers."

Xu Yang cupped his hands to the two men again, then turned to look at Yang Jun and said, "Make your move, otherwise you won't have a chance."

"Arrogant!" Yang Jun was furious.

Taking a step forward, he unleashed the Fierce Wind Hall's Startling Wind Palm, the fierce palm wind striking the air and causing a boom.

Compared to before, Yang Jun had made great progress; in terms of spirit and energy, he could be considered a qualified martial artist.

He struck out with a palm, like a crashing wave, aiming straight for the Shanzhong acupoint on Xu Yang's chest.

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged. His dormant aura erupted, and the true qi of his Great Success in Qi Refining suddenly gathered in his palm, which he then swiped out as if swatting a fly.

"Boom!"

The air let out a dull roar, and the wild wind Yang Jun had brought with him instantly dissipated, revealing his expression of shock and horror.

"Great Success in Qi Refining!" he couldn't help but shriek.

With Xu Yang making this move, his cultivation could no longer be hidden, and Yang Jun's face turned green.

Xu Yang had spouted a bunch of nonsense, and he had thought Xu Yang was afraid; who would have thought it wasn't fear at all, but a trap he had dug for him to jump into.

"Stop!" Ji Yun shouted.

"Shameless!" several Fierce Wind Hall disciples also shouted.

Fighting a Great Success in Qi Refining with a Small Success—how could one fight? Even when Kong Yu was at the Small Success of Qi Refining, he would never have dared to fight a master at the Great Success level.

"Bang!"

The two palms collided, and energy surged in all directions.

Xu Yang remained unmoved, but Yang Jun felt a mountain-toppling true qi surge from Xu Yang's hand, sending him flying backward faster than he had come, his arm emitting an unbearable cracking sound.

Just as he was about to crash to the ground, a large hand reached out horizontally to support his back, stopping his backward momentum.

It was Kong Yu who had acted, his large hand steadily supporting Yang Jun.

Yang Jun landed, but one hand was already hanging limply at his side, unable to be lifted; the intense pain twisted his expression.

"Well, do you still want to continue?"

Xu Yang did not pursue, nor did he use lethal force in such a setting.

Yang Jun's face flushed red; he hadn't reached Great Success in Qi Refining yet, so how could he fight?

"Bullying the small with the big—is this the character of the Mighty Far Hall's disciples?" Ji Yun said in a deep voice.

Xu Yang turned back to look at him: "Is Hall Master Ji a bit forgetful? This wasn't an exchange of pointers between us; it was Yang Jun who came to seek revenge. Since it's revenge, we naturally rely on our own means.

You said earlier you wouldn't interfere, but now that your disciple has lost, you break your word. Your character as a Hall Master isn't much better."

"You... how bold!"

Ji Yun was furious, a terrifying aura like a crashing wave erupting from his body; he hadn't expected Xu Yang to dare to mock him so bluntly.

And in front of all the disciples of the Mighty Far Hall and the Fierce Wind Hall, which made him lose even more face.

"Brother Ji, you are using your status as a senior to pressure my disciple; isn't that also bullying the small with the big? Have you forgotten that he also has a master?" Lin Cheng's indifferent voice rang out.

Ji Yun's expression changed slightly, knowing he was the one who had erred first; if this spread, he would be the only one to lose face.

He immediately suppressed his anger and said: "I was a bit too agitated. Since Xu Yang is also at the Great Success of Qi Refining, who among you will ask him for a few pointers?"

His gaze swept toward the Fierce Wind Hall disciples, his intent to teach a lesson undisguised.

Kong Yu stepped forward and said: "Let this disciple ask Brother Xu for pointers. Brother Xu, please enlighten me."

"Junior Brother Xu Yang only reached Great Success in Qi Refining last night, and his cultivation hasn't stabilized. If Brother Kong wants to exchange pointers, let me accompany you," Sun Tao walked over.

Kong Yu had reached Great Success in Qi Refining more than half a month ago and had Grade A-minus bone structure; if Xu Yang faced him, he would surely lose.

Moreover, Xu Yang had mocked Ji Yun, and Kong Yu would likely use lethal force. As Lin Cheng's direct disciple, he naturally had to stand up at this moment.

Kong Yu looked at Ji Yun.

Forcing someone whose cultivation hadn't stabilized to fight Kong Yu would also ruin his reputation if it got out. Ji Yun immediately said: "Since that's the case, you can exchange a few moves with your Senior Brother Sun.

When there is an opportunity, come and ask Xu Yang for pointers again."

The implication was that this matter was not over!

Kong Yu turned to Sun Tao and cupped his hands: "Brother Sun, please enlighten me!"

"Be careful!" Sun Tao's face was solemn.

No one dared to underestimate a genius who reached Great Success in Qi Refining in half a year. As he finished speaking, his body suddenly rushed out, his fist tearing through the air as he struck.

With the fierce wind, the air emitted a sharp, shrill whistle.

For this punch, Sun Tao had already unleashed the Exploding Bear Strength of the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist, his momentum extremely strong.

At the same time, Kong Yu's body also vanished from where he stood, swinging his palm out, intending to test a move against Sun Tao head-on.

"Bang!"

Fist and palm collided, and a series of crisp cracking sounds erupted from Kong Yu's body, though he only took one step back.

Looking at Sun Tao, he had actually retreated three or four steps, and with every step he took, a deep footprint was left on the ground.

The Mighty Far Hall disciples all showed expressions of shock; Sun Tao had reached Great Success in Qi Refining two months ago, much earlier than Kong Yu, yet he was the one being suppressed.

"Your physical body tempering is a bit lacking."

Kong Yu looked at Sun Tao with a smile, not pursuing his advantage, appearing quite conceited.

"Brother Kong's physical body is astonishing. Let's test our internal cultivation."

A sharp light flickered in Sun Tao's eyes as he pulled his legs from the soil, his true qi surging throughout his body.

"Good!"

Kong Yu let out a long shout, his own true qi also surging, and he rushed over to trade blows with Sun Tao.

After dozens of moves, Sun Tao's face was pale, his arms trembling, and he could barely continue.

Kong Yu cupped his hands and retreated to the side, not continuing the attack, clearly remembering the agreement.

"It seems my disciple is still a cut above." A smile appeared on Ji Yun's face again.

Lin Cheng was expressionless: "Grade A-minus bone structure—even if you taught a dog with that kind of talent, it could reach this level."

Ji Yun's face turned black immediately.
