Chapter 550: Heaven and Earth Power
Upon hearing that, Yu Haotian also furrowed his brows. He wanted to fight Ye Liuyun, but he also didn't want to disturb his breakthrough.
Just as he was hesitating whether to leave, Ye Liuyun proactively came out of the Xuan Kong Shi.
Yu Haotian looked at Ye Liuyun and discovered that his current cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Gang, advancing toward the peak state of the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Gang.
Ye Liuyun was indeed cultivating!
"You cultivate first; I'll come find you later!"
Deep down, Yu Haotian actually hoped Ye Liuyun's cultivation would improve a bit, so that fighting him would be satisfying. If Ye Liuyun's cultivation were too low, he would have to restrain his own power to fight him, which would definitely not be enjoyable.
"I'll recommend someone to you—how about it? I guarantee you won't be disappointed!"
Ye Liuyun also seized upon Yu Haotian's desire for battle.
"Besides you, who else could fight me?" Yu Haotian indeed became interested. However, he didn't really believe anyone truly qualified to fight him.
"That person's strength is definitely above mine; I guarantee I won't let you down!" Ye Liuyun said firmly.
"Oh? In this martial arts competition, is there someone stronger than you? Who is it?" Seeing his sincerity, Yu Haotian couldn't help but be half‑believing, half‑doubting.
"Mo Tianheng! His strength is absolutely not limited to what he has shown. I've crossed hands with him before; I know him well!"
Ye Liuyun's reason for recommending Mo Tianheng was also to use Yu Haotian's hand to test Mo Tianheng's strength.
Yu Haotian recalled Mo Tianheng's battles and also felt that Mo Tianheng was indeed seemingly concealing himself on purpose.
"Alright, I'll go find him. But after you break through, we still have to fight!"
"Good! I promise you!" Ye Liuyun said, then directly returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate.
And Yu Haotian turned and left to look for Mo Tianheng.
He believed Ye Liuyun wouldn't go back on his word. Anyway, he couldn't fight Ye Liuyun right now, so it was better to first try Mo Tianheng.
After entering this Secret Realm, Mo Tianheng had kept a low profile; after seizing some Tokens and letting his fortune faintly glow gold, he stopped.
Then he dug a Cave, cultivated inside, and waited for the competition to end.
He didn't ask for much—just to guarantee a place in the top hundred so he could receive the inheritance. At this stage, he still needed time to grow; it was inadvisable to be too conspicuous, lest he attract others' attention.
Yu Haotian walked around a few times before discovering that Mo Tianheng was hiding in the Cave.
"This guy really is a weirdo, so low‑key!"
He also hadn't expected that this Mo Tianheng would be just like him—not too keen on seizing fortune.
"Come out!"
Yu Haotian threw a powerful punch that nearly collapsed the Cave, forcing Mo Tianheng to reveal himself.
Upon seeing it was the first day's proud Yu Haotian, Mo Tianheng couldn't help but frown. But then he relaxed again.
He immediately took out his Token and tossed it to Yu Haotian. "Take it if you want! I haven't offended you, so there's no need to fight to the death."
Yu Haotian blinked, but then he threw the Token back at him.
"Let's fight thirty rounds! Regardless of win or loss, I'll leave right away."
Now it was Mo Tianheng's turn to be stunned. "He didn't come to seize the Token!" But then he realized he had encountered a warmonger!
He merely gave a faint smile: "Do you keep your word? Only thirty moves?"
"I will certainly not go back on my word!"
Actually he thought thirty moves were too many; at most three moves would be enough to defeat Mo Tianheng.
"Alright, make your move!"
Mo Tianheng also nodded in agreement! Since there was no malice, just a martial arts fanatic, he might as well indulge Yu Haotian.
"Catch this! First move, Frenzied Battle Victory Heaven!"
Seeing his agreement, Yu Haotian immediately threw a punch, fearing he might change his mind.
This punch, he only released seventy percent of his bloodline power. Because he sensed Mo Tianheng's aura wasn't strong, fearing he might kill him in one blow, so this punch was still for probing.
Who would have thought, Mo Tianheng merely waved his hand lightly, and a mighty Heaven and Earth Power dissipated the punch before it even reached him, not even stirring a breeze—as if the punch had never been thrown.
"Indeed he has some skill! No wonder Ye Liuyun recommended him!"
Thinking this, Yu Haotian held back no longer, fully unleashing his bloodline power and throwing punch after punch at Mo Tianheng.
Mo Tianheng remained calm as ever, each time using Heaven and Earth Power to easily neutralize his attacks.
This way of fighting also left Yu Haotian feeling vexed.
It was like using a big iron hammer to smash cotton—each time he felt nothing, getting no feedback of force.
After more than ten moves, Yu Haotian also secretly marveled. To wield Heaven and Earth Power to such an extent—truly a master!
Now, in his heart he regarded Mo Tianheng as a strong expert. Consequently, his bloodline power grew fiercer with each strike, and his attacks became increasingly brutal.
With each punch he threw, even the void trembled.
Meanwhile, Mo Tianheng's face always bore a light smile, his movements light and airy—just a flick of his sleeve, a push of his palm, and he would completely nullify the attacks, either dispersing them with Heaven and Earth Power or redirecting them with Heaven and Earth Power.
In short, after more than twenty moves, Yu Haotian hadn't even managed to hit the corner of Mo Tianheng's robe.
"This won't work—I can't hit him at all!"
Thinking this, Yu Haotian's figure suddenly darted forward, appearing before Mo Tianheng and engaging in close‑quarters combat.
Mo Tianheng, however, remained unruffled, mainly deflecting and blocking, completely unloading his force.
Each of Yu Haotian's punches was a full‑burst explosion of his Frenzied Battle bloodline, and the heavier he struck, the more the air rang with explosive booms.
Yet he simply couldn't hit Mo Tianheng; each time Mo Tianheng dissolved his blows with an even gentler method.
"So the saying 'softness overcomes hardness' probably is just this!" Yu Haotian also gained something, having grasped a few things from Mo Tianheng's techniques.
Looking again at Mo Tianheng, from start to finish he remained composed and at ease, graceful and self‑possessed—more like a grand master guiding disciples.
"Thirty moves have passed!"
As they were still fighting, Mo Tianheng suddenly spoke. Then he pushed with both hands, a gentle Heaven and Earth Power directly shoving Yu Haotian back more than ten zhang.
Yu Haotian stood there dazed. Astonished by Mo Tianheng's mastery of Heaven and Earth Power, which had reached the point of perfection.
Such a gentle force, yet it could push him out more than ten zhang, and yet it caused him no injury.
He is utterly convinced now!
"You're stronger than me! But fighting you is not satisfying!"
