Chapter 15: I Am My Brother-in-Law's Loyal Underling

Bai Chengliang attacked first, but Yang Yu was not flustered in the slightest; he calmly raised his hand to meet his fist technique.

Even though Yang Yu had just broken through, he was still one level lower in cultivation than Bai Chengliang.

Yet, the Taixu Divine Art gave Yang Yu sufficient confidence.

Under the support of such a god-tier cultivation method, his Profound Qi was purer and more powerful.

The basic quality of his physical body also far exceeded that of martial artists at the same level.

This gave his attacks and speed a natural advantage.

To use an analogy from Earth, a cultivation method is like a mobile phone's operating system.

Under the same hardware conditions, different operating systems yield different performance.

And for a martial artist, the stronger the cultivation method, the stronger their actual combat power.

The Bai Family's cultivation method was definitely not weak.

But compared to the Taixu Divine Art, it was still far behind...

Whoosh!

When Yang Yu struck with his palm, the palm wind arrived before the hand itself.

A powerful impact was clearly transmitted from Bai Chengliang's fist...

How is this possible?

He just broke through and is still a level lower than me.

Why can he unleash such an overbearing palm technique?

Although Bai Chengliang was very surprised, as a young master of the Bai Family, he was still full of pride and confidence.

It was impossible for him to dodge.

Going head-to-head, who is afraid of whom!

Slap!!

After a deafening boom, the fist and palm collided, emitting a deafening roar.

The fist wind and palm wind of both sides also slammed fiercely into each other, triggering a violent surge of Profound Qi.

Yang Yu pressed his legs down and managed to steady his stance.

Bai Chengliang, however, was shaken back more than ten steps.

That massive fist was also swollen, red, and throbbing with pain...

"Impossible! How could you possibly be my opponent?!"

Bai Chengliang's eyes widened, his face full of unwillingness.

Yang Yu gave a disdainful smile.

If I weren't your opponent, wouldn't the Taixu Divine Art be a waste of its awesomeness?

"Breaking Heaven Nine Styles—Mountain Crushing Style!"

Bai Chengliang's expression turned ruthless; he stomped his foot, and as he leaped into the air, he infused his fist with massive amounts of Profound Qi once again.

This time, it was even more vicious than the last!

The Breaking Heaven Nine Styles was a Martial Technique he had practiced hard for a long time, and the Mountain Crushing Style was his most proficient move among them.

Once this move was unleashed, Yang Yu would definitely not be able to block it!

Bang!

A moment later, a massive phantom image condensed upon Bai Chengliang's fist.

This phantom image was formed by condensed Profound Qi, clearly taking the shape of a giant fist.

The fist phantom was larger than his entire body, and it slammed straight down toward Yang Yu's position.

Bai Zhi was startled.

This was an extremely powerful Martial Technique.

Yang Yu had just broken through and didn't have much actual combat experience; it was too dangerous.

She was just about to forcibly interrupt this sparring match.

But she saw Yang Yu take the initiative to meet the phantom image...

Swish!!

Yang Yu raised both arms, and his Profound Qi gathered in his palms as if it were worthless.

He hadn't learned any decent Martial Techniques yet; these were just basic moves, simply pouring out his Profound Qi.

But as it happened, practicing the Taixu Divine Art meant his Profound Qi was not only stronger, but also more abundant!

Bang!!

The pure Profound Qi, like a bursting flood, slammed crazily into Bai Chengliang's fist shadow.

Because Yang Yu didn't use a Martial Technique, his Profound Qi didn't even have a specific form, let alone the ability to manifest a "phantom image."

Yet, both Bai Chengliang and Bai Zhi could feel that the Profound Qi erupting from Yang Yu's palms was too immense...

So immense it didn't seem like the Hua Xuan Realm!

The fist shadow was blasted into bubbles, leaving only some frantic ripples behind.

"Damn it, whose family wastes Profound Qi like this?!"

Bai Chengliang was greatly shocked.

Yang Yu swept forward, flashing over.

Although Bai Chengliang saw Yang Yu's trajectory, he couldn't react in time.

Yang Yu's right palm was like a blade, aiming straight for Bai Chengliang's ribs...

Bai Chengliang barely managed to twist his body, but Yang Yu had already changed his move, his other arm transforming into an elbow strike that slammed fiercely into Bai Chengliang's back.

Crack!

Bai Chengliang immediately fell face-first into the dirt, sprawled on the ground.

Before he could get up, Yang Yu restrained his arms from behind and stepped on his backside, pinning him down firmly.

"Ahhh! Let go!"

Bai Chengliang's face turned red with embarrassment.

He was a young master of the Bai Family; although not a peerless monster like his sister, he was still countless times stronger than the average person.

Yet, he had actually lost to a Yang Yu who bore the reputation of a good-for-nothing?

Driven by shame and anger, Bai Chengliang launched another move, wanting to continue the fight.

"Enough!"

Bai Zhi let out a cold shout, her fair palm suddenly raised, and she sent Bai Chengliang flying with a strike through the air.

Bai Chengliang landed covered in mud and said, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Bai Zhi scolded, "You lost. Perhaps there were factors of underestimating the enemy, but a loss is a loss. If that had been a life-or-death battle just now, you would already be dead."

"I... lost." Bai Chengliang bit his lip, ultimately not refuting her.

Once he calmed down, he realized that when his back was struck just now, if Yang Yu had intended to kill, his life would truly have been in danger.

It was just that he had been defeated by someone of a lower realm, and he was very unwilling to accept it.

"Losing to Yang Yu is nothing to be ashamed of."

Bai Zhi said earnestly.

"Sister, you don't need to comfort me," Bai Chengliang muttered. "I can afford to lose. Since he beat me, I acknowledge him as my brother-in-law."

Bai Zhi said, "I didn't stop your fight just to let you realize that there is always someone better. Yang Yu fighting you, I presume, was not to gain your approval."

Bai Chengliang was unconvinced: "What is so impressive about him? Although he won, it won't be long before I definitely surpass him."

Bai Zhi countered, "You should have heard that Yang Yu previously had no cultivation at all."

Bai Chengliang curled his lip and said, "He was just pretending to be a good-for-nothing, right? He is clearly so strong..."

Bai Zhi said, "No, he wasn't pretending. He truly didn't even reach Body Tempering before, but he went from having no cultivation to the second layer of the Hua Xuan Realm in less than three days."

"What?!" Bai Chengliang's eyes widened. "Sister, you aren't joking, are you?"

Bai Zhi said solemnly:

"Why would I lie to you? Regardless of the past, his talent now is above anyone in the Bai Family. To put it bluntly, if you can't beat him today, the gap between you and him will only grow larger in the future."

"Huu... huu..."

Bai Chengliang's breathing was a bit rapid, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Yang Yu had completely changed.

He hadn't liked Yang Yu before simply because he didn't want his sister to marry the wrong person.

If it had been Wang Yu or Zhang Yu, as long as they were a good-for-nothing, Bai Chengliang would have disliked them all the same.

But now, his mindset was different.

Yang Yu reached the second layer of the Hua Xuan Realm in three days.

This could no longer be described as a genius; he was a monster, a god!

Moreover, Yang Yu was truly willing to give; he had casually gifted that mysterious pill to his sister.

If such a person wasn't worthy of his sister, who could be?

It was worth being happy that his sister's man was so outstanding!

"Brother-in-law, you are truly amazing, extraordinary." Bai Chengliang changed his attitude on the spot, grabbed Yang Yu's hand, and looked at him sincerely. "I was wrong just now. From now on, I am your loyal little brother. Tonight, I will treat you to drinks at the flower house as an apology."

"Drink... what?"

Yang Yu was startled. Was this something that could be said in front of Bai Zhi?
