Chapter 195: Not Acting Anymore

Qin Changfeng took out a blood crystal and placed it into the wooden box containing blood crystals with extreme elegance: "This blood crystal is worth one thousand Gushing Spring coins! Brother Lin, I'll pay your challenge fee for you!"

Lin Yi laughed: "I'm just afraid that you'll win all the Gushing Spring coins and blood crystals in one battle, and I won't even have the chance to get on the ring."

Qi Wangshu verified it and made a gesture of invitation to Qin Changfeng.

"Fuzhou, Qin Changfeng."

After getting on the ring, Qin Changfeng cupped his hands and bowed, also wanting to use this to make a name for himself.

Li Youyi stood up, returned the bow, and said in a full voice: "Brother Qin can use magic weapons!"

"Any magic weapon will do?"

"Of course! I, Li, dare to set up a ring on the street, so I have the confidence to take on all challenges, and I will definitely win."

"What spirit! But you are a mortal body; if I defeat you with a magic weapon, it would be too bullying."

Qin Changfeng didn't really underestimate Li Youyi; in an instant, the magic Qi in his body surged rapidly, spraying out from his pores like silk. His spirit and energy were released, and a two-zhang-tall combat intent condensed behind him, erupting with bright rosy light.

"Mountain-Moving Running Stream Palm!"

The seven-zhang-square ring was too narrow for a martial cultivator in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas; almost with one step, he was before him.

The palm print pushed horizontally, and the magic Qi on Qin Changfeng's right arm surged like a running stream, as if he were moving the entire space.

Li Youyi's expression was grave, as if facing a formidable enemy, and he hurriedly performed his movement technique to dodge, looking as if he didn't dare to take it head-on.

"Where are you going, Brother Youyi? Go down!"

Qin Changfeng laughed, his wide sleeves bulging, and his left palm print struck down from above in a mysterious and peerless way, while his combat intent completely locked onto Li Youyi.

With no other choice, Li Youyi had to fight him head-on.

"Boom!"

The two stood on equal footing, retreating rapidly.

"Such strong power, it really isn't that simple; he should be a Nine Springs Supreme Person."

Qin Changfeng's expression became grave; he used his movement speed to the fullest, one person becoming six, his figure filling the ring. Strips of palm-technique torrents shuttled in all directions, trapping Li Youyi in the center.

Li Youyi flashed his steps, took three of his palms head-on, and seized the opportunity.

His right hand's two fingers struck out like a sword, like flowing light.

"Mercy Navigation Opening Light!"

"Whoosh!"

A beam of finger energy as thick as a wine cup flew out straight, piercing through Qin Changfeng's combat intent and protective magic Qi, knocking him flying off the ring.

Next, the fifth combat intent Li Youyi wanted to cultivate was this move, and he decided to polish it well.

Even if Qin Changfeng wore a magic weapon battle suit, he was still lightly injured, barely drawing magic Qi to strike the ground to land in a standing posture, his face turning slightly pale.

He stared fixedly at Li Youyi on the ring, unable to accept that a dignified Pure Immortal Body would be defeated so quickly by a mortal.

"Qin Changfeng of Fuzhou, defeated after six moves."

Qi Wangshu announced.

Li Youyi stood with his hands behind his back, his spine straight as a spear, looking down: "Brother Qin, you shouldn't have underestimated the enemy; if you had used a combat weapon, I definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat you so easily."

"I want to challenge again."

Qin Changfeng was unconvinced and unwilling, secretly hating himself for underestimating the enemy too much.

Fortunately, it wasn't a life-and-death duel, so there was a chance to start over.

Qi Wangshu said: "Challenges need to be queued; three more people have just paid the challenge fee. By the way, let me remind everyone, our Young Master Li only sets up the ring for two hours today, and his time is very tight."

More than a dozen martial cultivators left quickly, preparing to invite the top experts from their clans.

"This person is very strong, don't underestimate the enemy. That finger technique of his is extremely unexpected and powerful; be careful how you deal with it."

Qin Changfeng grabbed Lin Yi's wrist and warned him, then went to pay the second challenge fee.

Lin Yi understood Qin Changfeng's strength; even if he underestimated the enemy, being able to knock him off the ring in six moves meant this Li Youyi was definitely extraordinary.

Therefore, after getting on the ring, he didn't hide anything, took out a high-grade magic weapon battle sword containing scriptures, and asked: "Brother Youyi, what magic weapon are you using?"

"My finger technique has already been cultivated to perfection, and it's no exaggeration to say it's peerless in the world; it's enough to cross realms and fight against superiors, so why do I need to use a magic weapon?"

Li Youyi stood with one hand behind his back, his demeanor leisurely, pointing out the mountains and rivers: "Forgive me for being blunt, in the same realm, physique is not the key to determining combat power. What's more important is personal martial arts attainment, combat wisdom, magic Qi application, state of mind, spirit..."

As a Pure Immortal Body martial cultivator, how could Lin Yi believe this set of his? He interrupted: "Let's start!"

Li Youyi sighed and shook his head: "Come on!"

"Boom!"

After eight moves, Li Youyi performed the Chan Sect's Twelve Scattered Hands "Mercy Navigation Opening Light" again, the finger energy striking out like a sneak attack, breaking through Lin Yi's protective magic Qi at a tricky angle and knocking him off the ring.

"Lin Yi of Fuzhou, defeated after nine moves." Qi Wangshu announced.

Li Youyi looked toward the Immortal Forest suspended in mid-air, his tone regretful: "Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi, in a ring battle, your state of mind is far from as calm as mine; you only want to win Gushing Spring coins, you're not here for Martial Dao exchange at all. With this state of mind, how could you be my opponent."

Lin Yi said coldly: "When Brother Youyi was teaching me, why didn't you look at your cuffs?"

Li Youyi raised his arm and looked at the cuff that had been cut by the sword, his expression changing slightly: "You..."

"Just three inches more, and that hand of yours would be gone!"

Lin Yi snorted and immediately went to pay the second challenge fee, believing he already knew how to defeat Li Youyi.

Qi Xiao, sitting on the chair, nodded slightly; being able to defeat Qin Changfeng and Lin Yi within ten moves meant Li Youyi had the level. But Qin and Lin were not Nine Springs Supreme People, and Qi Xiao had the confidence to defeat them within ten moves in the same realm.

What exactly was the First Successor planning?

Hidden Eleven sat on the second floor of a restaurant not far away, his face full of smiles: "Is earning money this easy? There are actually so many fools in the world, rushing to be sparring partners, rushing to send money."

Li Youyi was worried that the Hidden Ember would appear again, that Yang Qingxi would cause trouble, and that someone would snatch the Gushing Spring coins. That was why he had Hidden Eleven hide nearby.

These Gushing Spring coins and blood crystals were obtained by exchanging all the low-grade magic weapons on his body, and they could not be lost.

"Qi Qian, defeated after four moves."

"Li Jiuzhong, defeated after five moves."

"Si Jiabai, defeated after six moves."

Qin Changfeng had been observing the clashes on the ring, pondering carefully, and now it was finally his turn again.

"Whoosh!"

Walking into the ring, he put on a pair of high-grade magic weapon gloves cast from extremely dense metal, each weighing eight hundred jin. As he walked toward Li Youyi step by step, his combat intent condensed behind him, and his whole person climbed to his peak state.

"Brother Youyi, this time I won't underestimate the enemy! I know you are very strong and your martial arts attainment is extremely high, but I am not weak either." Qin Changfeng said.

The duel began.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Li Youyi didn't collide with him head-on, adopting the advantage of speed to clash with him.

By the eighth move, he performed Mercy Navigation Opening Light, knocking him off the ring with one finger.

"Qin Changfeng, defeated after nine moves."

In order to let them continue to pay the challenge fee, Li Youyi commented on each person in the tone of Martial Dao exchange: "The power is very strong, the fist and palm techniques are practiced to perfection, but unfortunately the movement speed is too slow; top experts shouldn't have such shortcomings."

His normal Martial Dao comments sounded extremely harsh to the defeated.

It wasn't as satisfying as mockery and ridicule.

Just a little bit, just a little bit...

Qin Changfeng trembled all over, his eyes scanning the pointing and whispering of the young martial cultivators around him, and he said indignantly: "A clash at the level of the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas, and he built a ring only seven zhang square; of course it's easy to fall off. Right, the ring is too small! Change to a larger venue, and he won't be able to do anything to me."

"Not only is the ring small, but the ground is also very slippery." Li Jiuzhong, who had been knocked off the ring earlier, said gloomily.

Zuoqiu Baiyuan sneered: "It snowed in the morning, so the ground is naturally slippery. Why did you guys slip down, and Young Master Li is growing on it?"

"Don't fight if you can't afford to lose!" Qi Wangshu shrugged and spread his hands.

"Fight, keep fighting, I don't believe it; I can't even take ten moves from him."

Li Jiuzhong paid the challenge fee again.

Qin Changfeng followed closely, wanting to find back the face he had lost no matter what today.

And he had already found the reason; it was his state of mind, he shouldn't have held a winning state of mind.

If he only held the state of mind of supporting ten moves, holding on for ten moves, and winning ten thousand Gushing Spring coins, wouldn't that be easy?

People who have lost their minds from losing have no rationality.

The news spread very quickly, and more and more martial cultivators in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas gathered from the East, South, West, and North cities to under the ring.

Even from the Immortal Forest, some Pure Immortal Body Fourth Realm Five Seas martial cultivators walked out one after another, men and women alike, preparing to show their skills.

Most of them followed the top experts in their clans, or were here to join in the fun of the Qianlong Lantern Festival, or to assist in fighting, or to make friends with geniuses of the same generation.

"Still quite capable! I just asked around, this Li Youyi has fought nearly twenty matches, and all of them defeated his opponents within ten moves." Luo Zhan was a young martial cultivator in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas from the Thunder Sect.

Lu Wensheng was the brother of the Thunder Sect successor Lu Cangsheng, a Pure Immortal Body in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas. When he was a teenager, the elders of the sect once thought his talent was higher than Lu Cangsheng's.

Unfortunately, in just a few years, his brother rose rapidly, leaving him far behind.

Lu Wensheng said: "Could it be that he isn't in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas?"

"Shouldn't be; Zuoqiu Ting dared to write this evaluation, which is equivalent to using his own reputation as a guarantee. And that kid's magic Qi is indeed only Third-Order Qi." Luo Zhan said.

The Thunder Sect teenagers and girls who came with Lu Wensheng and Luo Zhan to see the world were enough to be seven or eight people, and someone said: "But it's just defeating some rabble; the strength of the disciples of the thousand-sect sect is the strongest in the same realm."

"The Peerless Number One in the Same Realm... it's ridiculous to hear; Southern Border martial cultivators are too arrogant. Senior Brother Wensheng, do you have the confidence to defeat him?"

Lu Wensheng had already finished watching Li Youyi's two battles: "Very strong, and still hiding his strength; he hasn't used his combat intent yet, he should be on par with me."

"What, he's only Third-Order Qi? Senior Brother Wensheng, you are Fourth-Order Qi, and your Thunder Law attainment is extremely high." Those Thunder Sect disciples couldn't accept this result.

Lu Wensheng laughed: "You are just like those martial cultivators who blindly got on the ring to challenge; you only saw his magic Qi attainment. I dare to conclude that this person's physical body cultivation has reached a considerable level."

"Won by physical strength? Then setting the cultivation strength at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas is very unfair, isn't it?" A Thunder Sect disciple said.

Luo Zhan said: "There's nothing unfair about it, but all the outstanding talents of thousand-sect sects, and even many million-level forces, who isn't cultivating magic Qi while cultivating their physical body? Like the Senior Brother, he has already cultivated into a Dao Body."

Lu Wensheng nodded: "Those characters on the First and Second Grades, none of them are not strong in physical body, filling all shortcomings. It's just that the Golden Bone is hard to cultivate, the Golden Spring is hard to find, and not many have cultivated into a Dao Body. Junior Brother Luo, do you want to try first?"

"Haha, exactly my intention; I'll definitely be able to hold on for ten moves, I'll come to force him to reveal his true ability."

Luo Zhan walked quickly toward the ring, paid one thousand Gushing Spring coins, and also gave Lu Wensheng's challenge fee.

Qi Xiao glanced at him, felt the unique aura on the Thunder Sect disciple, and looked at the man in the distance who looked a bit like Lu Cangsheng, pondering for a moment, a smile floating on the corner of his mouth.

With his cultivation, how could he not see that Li Youyi hadn't used his full strength.

But since the Thunder Sect disciples had arrived, they should be able to force out Li Youyi's true combat power, and Qi Xiao actually felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

Li Youyi fought nine more matches, defeating Qin Changfeng for the fifth time.

This crushing defeat completely broke Qin Changfeng's spirit; falling to the ground, he didn't stand up for a long time, his eyes empty.

Li Youyi really couldn't bear to point him out anymore, and said directly, sighing: "Brother Qin, you are not my match for ten moves, don't waste money anymore, you've already given a lot! I, Li Youyi, the Peerless Number One in the Same Realm, are really not someone you ordinary martial cultivators can take ten moves from."

"Is this not acting anymore?" Qi Xiao, sitting on the chair, raised his eyebrows.

The next challenger, Luo Zhan, looked disdainfully at Qin Changfeng lying in the snow: "This is the level of the imperial court martial cultivators? If there were a forest of knives under the ring... hehe..."

"Roar!"

Qin Changfeng couldn't take this stimulation, howled, first gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at Luo Zhan, then looked at Li Youyi on the ring, and then rushed out of the crowd like a madman.

And his companion Lin Yi, after losing four matches, left silently.

Luo Zhan wore a purple-patterned lightning magic weapon battle suit, walked onto the ring step by step, and with every breath, strands of electric arcs shuttled through the space within seven zhang.

He said: "I heard that challengers can use magic weapons of any grade?"

Li Youyi saw that he was a Thunder Sect disciple and knew that his true big client and hunting target had finally appeared.

In terms of wealth, it had to be people from thousand-sect sects.

Imperial court martial cultivators, although they also had money, it depended on the person. If he could catch a top-tier official's child like Jiang Ning, he could earn a lot of money several times.

Li Youyi laughed: "If you can take out a hundred-character scripture magic weapon, I will definitely acknowledge it."

"Can Thunder Law Black Ice be used?" Luo Zhan asked.

Li Youyi said: "Of course! But I can guarantee that within seven zhang, even if you take out Thunder Law Black Ice, you won't be able to strike it out. Your hands will definitely break first!"

"Haha, just joking, it's just a ring battle, not a life-and-death struggle."

Luo Zhan pinched a finger seal, a lightning bolt like a long snake appeared in his palm, spreading into an arc, a full ten zhang long, and reported his name: "Thunder Sect Luo Zhan, here to learn the high moves of Young Master Li."
