Even with my strength, I only have a fifty percent chance of defeating him. It’s simply impossible to inflict any serious injury on him.
Wu De heard this and pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "If you encounter someone you can defeat, do so, but do not take his life. The Li Family and Liu Family have grown too close and may have already formed an alliance. Only the Yun Family and our Wu Family remain. If our relationship deteriorates too much, we will be picked off one by one. At that point, it will be difficult for our Wu Family to maintain a foothold in Dongyang County."
As for your brother, let that matter go. He is nothing but a waste, lacking any talent for martial arts. As long as he can preserve his life, he should enjoy a life of wealth and comfort.
Wu Yao nodded upon hearing this. In truth, he had no guarantee of victory against Yun Fan either. Claiming a fifty percent chance was merely an attempt to save face in front of his father, a slight exaggeration. In reality, if a true battle were to ensue, the likelihood of his defeat was quite high. After all, even he could not decipher Yun Fan's movements; Yun Fan was already in an invulnerable position. If he had some hidden trump card, Wu Yao would likely suffer a crushing defeat.
Yun Fan slowly descended from the arena and walked over to join the members of the Yun Family. His expression was remarkably calm, showing no signs of agitation.
Yun Yan displayed an excited expression, continuously praising Yun Fan like a devoted fan girl, filled with admiration.
With the conclusion of the fourth round of matches, only fifteen participants remained in the arena. Soon after, the fifth round began, and everyone started drawing lots again; those who drew blank slips would have a bye.
Yun Fan had slightly better luck and drew a blank slip, allowing him to advance smoothly into the next round without contest.
The battles officially commenced as Yun Tian stepped onto Arena One to face a Heavenly Talent from the Li Family. Li Ze had reached the True Essence Realm and showed no signs of backing down against Yun Tian.
Yun Tian unleashed his full strength, having reached the peak of True Essence Realm and was not far from the third layer of True Essence Realm himself. The two engaged in fierce combat atop the high platform.
After exchanging dozens of blows, Li Ze realized he was outmatched and lightly called out his surrender. He sustained no injuries and walked down from the arena with a smile on his face.
After winning, Yun Tian did not feel any excitement because he hadn’t decisively defeated his opponent or delivered a profound lesson to the Li Family.
The other matches in the arena began one after another as Liu Ru Yan faced off against Wu Yao, the top Heavenly Talent from the Wu Family. Since Liu Ru Yan had just entered the True Essence Realm and lacked substantial strength, she was easily pushed back by Wu Yao.
Li Chusheng faced Zhao Wei, the only Heavenly Talent of the Zhao Family, whose cultivation had reached the True Essence Realm. However, he was forcefully overwhelmed by Li Chusheng, and with a single punch, Zhao Wei was sent flying, his body shattering upon impact.
As he tumbled through the air, his cries of agony echoed around him. The members of the Zhao Family watched in disbelief and fury as their sole True Essence Realm Heavenly Talent was so easily defeated. Their anger surged, especially in the heart of the family’s only Xuan Yuan Realm patriarch, who was filled with rage upon witnessing his son’s downfall.
The patriarch's eyes were bloodshot as he glanced at the fierce expressions of the elders from the Li Family. He could only suppress the fury boiling within him. It was unthinkable to risk the lives of his entire clan for the sake of his son by attacking Li Chusheng.
He knew that if he charged forward, he would likely be annihilated by the elders of the Li Family, and his clan would face catastrophic consequences. With a heavy heart, he had no choice but to stifle his overwhelming resentment and carry his injured son away from the arena.
