Chapter 1010

Once his words fell, Qi Xiong stopped wasting time and immediately announced the start of the Four Sects Assembly.

Everyone took their seats one after another, and Qi Xiong specifically arranged for Ye Changqing to sit by his side.

"What's wrong, kid Changqing? You look so gloomy."

"It's nothing, Sect Master, you worry too much."

Hearing this, Ye Changqing smiled helplessly. Since he was already here, what else could he do? He might as well just watch the excitement.

Following Qi Xiong's announcement, the young talents below were all eager to show their skills.

The order of the matches had long been prepared through a lottery, with twenty arenas starting simultaneously, and various Dao Yi Sect Elders took their places in the arenas to serve as referees.

The rogue cultivators and the disciples of the major sects were all very excited.

Only the Dao Yi Sect disciples appeared uninterested. Look, while the other arenas were fighting fiercely, in one of the arenas, one side was a Dao Yi Sect disciple.

He walked onto the stage with an indifferent expression, looked at his opponent, and cupped his hands in a salute.

"Please offer your guidance."

His tone was listless. Hearing this, the young man opposite him frowned, feeling that this Dao Yi Sect disciple was being far too arrogant—to show such contempt before they had even exchanged blows?

Anger surged in his heart, and the young man immediately let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, although Senior Brother's strength is formidable, this Junior Brother is no pushover. Even if I am to be defeated, it should be after we have exchanged blows. Why must you show such contempt for me?"

Huh???

Hearing this, the Dao Yi Sect disciple was stunned, then explained.

"I didn't mean it that way, it's just..."

He truly had no intention of looking down on anyone; he simply couldn't muster any interest.

After all, what could the Four Sects Assembly bring him? It had no real significance.

However, the other party clearly didn't listen and had already taken the initiative to attack.

Seeing this, the Dao Yi Sect disciple also moved to block, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this kid wasn't using his full strength at all.

As they fought, it looked more like he was just going through the motions.

Even the Dao Yi Sect Elder on the side couldn't bear to watch anymore, his mouth twitching as he said.

"This little brat..."

In the end, after what seemed like a struggle between the two, the Dao Yi Sect disciple finally secured the victory, but in reality, it didn't need to be that troublesome at all.

Moreover, after winning, the disciple didn't show the slightest bit of joy; instead, he walked off the arena without looking back, returned to his seat, and simply lay flat.

"Sigh, why can't we just forfeit?"

He sighed helplessly. If he could have forfeited, he would have conceded long ago.

It wasn't just this disciple; in the subsequent battles, as long as a Dao Yi Sect disciple stepped onto the stage, nine out of ten showed absolutely no fighting spirit.

They gave the impression of being extremely lazy, completely out of the zone.

At this point, let alone the opponents, even Qi Xiong's face on the high platform turned dark.

"These little bastards, are they going to fight or not? They're so soft—their Blazing Fists look like damn Cotton Palms."

He couldn't help but curse. It was indeed going too far; the Blazing Fist, known for its ferocity, looked no different from a Cotton Palm when thrown. What kind of joke was this?

And the movement techniques they were using—if one didn't look closely, Qi Xiong would have thought they were grandmas crossing the street, just taking a stroll.

Yet, even so, the Dao Yi Sect disciples continued to win one after another, but such victories brought no joy to anyone.

"Go, tell these little bastards to fight properly for me."

Unable to bear it any longer, Qi Xiong directly ordered the deacon beside him to give the disciples a reminder. If they kept fighting like this, the Dao Yi Sect would lose all its face because of them.

Soon, the deacon conveyed Qi Xiong's meaning to the disciples.

Hearing Qi Xiong's order, the disciples looked bitter.

"No way, winning is enough, isn't it?"

"Alright, the Sect Master has spoken, let's just put on a show."

"Sigh, that's all we can do. What a hassle."

Qi Xiong's warning did have some effect, though it seemed a bit different from what he had imagined.

Another Dao Yi Sect disciple stepped onto the stage. Looking at his opponent, this time, the disciple finally looked a bit more presentable.

At least he wasn't looking lazy; he stood straight. Seeing this, the Elder in the arena couldn't help but nod secretly. That's more like it; this finally looked a bit like a Dao Yi Sect disciple.

"Offense taken."

"Senior Brother, please offer your guidance."

Both sides cupped their hands, and then, this Dao Yi Sect disciple took the initiative to attack.

This was probably the first time a Dao Yi Sect disciple had taken the initiative since the battles began.

Facing the attack, the opponent became extremely cautious, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

"Heaven-Breaking Palm."

In one step, he appeared before the young man, and the Dao Yi Sect disciple raised his hand, intending to strike with a palm.

Seeing this, the young man, who was full of experience, immediately assumed a defensive posture.

However, the next second, the expected Heaven-Breaking Palm did not land; instead, the young man felt a chill in his crotch, having taken a solid kick to the groin.

An indescribable electric sensation instantly swept through his entire body, and beads of cold sweat dripped wildly from his forehead.

With eyes full of disbelief, he looked at the Dao Yi Sect disciple and gritted his teeth.

"You... wasn't that the Heaven-Breaking Palm?"

"This is called 'all is fair in war'."

Once the words were spoken, the Dao Yi Sect disciple retracted his leg, and the young man collapsed, foaming at the mouth. The intense pain had clearly caused him to fall into a coma.

As for the Elder on the side, he was left dumbfounded. What the hell are you doing?

"Elder, how was that? A clean and decisive victory, right?"

Finally, the disciple's voice woke him up. Hearing this, the Elder opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

It was indeed clean and decisive, but did it really have to be like that?

Let alone the Elder, everyone present who saw this scene fell into a deep silence. The methods of this Dao Yi Sect disciple were truly a bit...

No one said it out loud, but everyone's thoughts were surprisingly consistent. ===== CHAPTER 1011 =====
