“Zhao Yang, I only approached Li Yunshan after hearing you talk about him. I didn’t expect him to look down on me so much, thinking he was above it all and not even bothering to speak to me. He’s not at all the humble and polite person you described.” Long Xiao Wu feared that Zhao Yang would show mercy due to their past friendship.
He knew Zhao Yang was that kind of person; he would go to great lengths against enemies, and for friends, he would never stand idly by in any situation.
Li Yunshan felt a surge of anger at Zhao Yang's disdain. He was handsome and possessed a Single Attribute Spiritual Root, someone who should be favored wherever he went. Yet, he had endured scorn since childhood. Unwilling to accept this, he had come to the Inner Courtyard and earned his rightful glory as a genius. In just two years, he had become one of the top ten Inner Courtyard Disciples. No one could match him except for the Nine Great Offerings. The memories of his past still pained him deeply; from then on, he would rather look down on others than be looked down upon himself.
At that moment, disregarding his master’s warning not to kill Zhao Yang yet, Li Yunshan gathered True Qi into his right hand. Locking onto Zhao Yang with his Divine Sense, he feared he might escape. A yellow light sliced through the air with a whooshing sound as a massive yellow fist struck toward Zhao Yang's chest, aiming to pierce through him.
Boom!
Ji Wudao and Fire Wuyan on the platform nearly couldn’t hold back from intervening, but what shocked them was that Zhao Yang remained completely still!
In typical duels among experts, saying “I’ll let you have three moves” means allowing three attacks while only defending and dodging with superior agility. However, Zhao Yang’s version of letting was simply standing there and allowing his opponent to strike!
Everyone was stunned, glancing at each other in confusion about what had just happened.
After a moment, Zhao Yang asked casually, “Did you attack?”
“Holy crap!”
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
“There must be steel plates underneath! Or maybe Brother Li didn’t eat today?” someone questioned.
Li Yunshan was equally astonished. His Mountain-Splitting Fist had defeated countless Foundation Stage Disciples and had nearly killed some opponents. Yet Zhao Yang seemed completely unaffected and appeared not to have used any True Qi for defense!
“Could it be that he spent all night reading in the Scripture Repository and forgot how to activate his True Qi shield?” Fire Wuyan speculated while picking his nose.
“Unclear,” Ji Wuyou shook his head.
Li Yunshan refused to believe this was possible. His True Qi surged violently as the Foundation Stage within his Qi Sea trembled intensely. The surface of his Foundation Stage looked like a mirror with only a couple of tiny cracks—an Imperfect Foundation! The True Qi generated by an Imperfect Foundation was stronger in both purity and quantity compared to an Ordinary Foundation. A powerful force surged into his arm as Li Yunshan swung it around with great strength, shouting as he aimed for the side of Zhao Yang's head.
Boom!
With a sound like a mountain striking the earth, dull and heavy, Zhao Yang slightly furrowed his brow and tilted his head to the side. He brushed off the dust from his head, still keeping his eyes closed, and said, "It's a bit itchy, keep going, put in more effort!"
"Wow!" Scholar Xiu, who was watching from the sidelines, pinched his own face, feeling as if he might be dreaming. Many times when he had been beaten up, he dreamed of Zhao Yang coming to rescue them, the heroic Zhao Yang in his dreams defeating everyone.
Li Yunshan panicked and took a few steps back, shouting, "I don't believe it! I don't believe a single person's body can be this strong! I will kill you!"
Li Yunshan was deeply emotional and agitated, feeling severely impacted. As a genius disciple of the Earth Spiritual Root, he was exceptionally skilled in harnessing the power of the earth. Therefore, he intended to unleash his strongest technique using this power. He drew a strange pattern on his right hand, which emitted an overwhelming aura. Li Yunshan had gathered all his energy into his right palm, and a powerful wave spread out from him like seismic waves.
With a loud shout, Li Yunshan slammed his hand covered in mysterious symbols onto the ground of the challenge platform.
Boom! Several loud rumbles echoed as a spear wrapped in yellow rock and dark energy broke through countless layers of soil and emerged slowly from the hard rock surface of the challenge platform into Li Yunshan's hand. Everyone looked on in shock because the aura of this spear was overwhelmingly powerful; despite its decayed appearance, it radiated an extremely sinister force as if it could pierce through all obstacles and penetrate enemies!
"Zhao Yang, that is the Earthshatter Spear, known as the most aggressive attack in the history of Earth Spiritual Root cultivation. It is said to be able to penetrate anything; even with some defenses in place, it can cross realms to kill opponents. Although he is merely imitating that kind of divine might at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it can still pierce through your body. You should counterattack!" Fire Wuyan reminded.
Li Yunshan's face turned pale; clearly, he had exhausted all his True Qi to unleash this overwhelming attack that was beyond his current realm's control.
At this moment, Zhao Yang also sensed this astonishing aura and opened his eyes.
"If you have the ability, then don't dodge!" Li Yunshan shouted hoarsely in fear that Zhao Yang would evade him as he thrust the Earthshatter Spear toward Zhao Yang's forehead.
Zhao Yang watched as this earth-shattering spear approached him with an air-shaking force that left everyone stunned. His right hand, which had initially been prepared to take the hit, slowly lowered after hearing Li Yunshan's words.
A pressure emanated from Zhao Yang as if a demon king had descended upon the world. Mysterious crimson-gold characters appeared on his face and arms as he activated a fragment of the Imperial Scripture's Body Refinement technique that he had just learned. His body was already impervious to blades and bullets due to the transformative power of Supreme Ultimate Nine Turns Golden Elixir found in Sun Wukong's blood; it had undergone a qualitative change. His body was no longer ordinary; even Body Refinement cultivators could not compare! Then he received the unparalleled Imperial Scripture Body Refinement fragment, and an overwhelming aura surged from him that could topple all cultivators of the same realm around him.
With a fierce roar cutting through the air, just two inches away from Zhao Yang's forehead, the Earthshatter Spear began to decay and rot before disintegrating into dust upon reaching him, forming a small mound of earth without even touching Zhao Yang's skin!
"What terrifying vitality!" Ji Wudao in the stands showed an expression of horror; just moments ago, it seemed he saw a sea of blood emanating from Zhao Yang—a multitude of lives fading away amidst countless bones buried under war flames and flowing blood.
Zhao Yang looked at Li Yunshan with pity in his eyes; he had completely shattered Li Yunshan's self-esteem. However, this did not quell the anger within him—he moved!
Smack!
With a swift slap, Zhao Yang appeared in Li Yunshan's place, while Li Yunshan was sent flying like a piece of paper, his teeth scattering everywhere.
"This slap is for Long Xiao Wu; how dare you touch my brother!"
Smack!
"This slap is for myself; traitors who forget their gratitude deserve to be killed!"
Smack!
"This slap is also for myself; how dare you interrupt me while I'm speaking? If I don't hit you, I'll feel uneasy!"
Smack!
"This slap is for you; you were once a good person, but now you pretend to be a ghost. With a bit of skill, you've turned your back on people. You've learned some crooked ways to absorb others' cultivation, completely unaware of your own insignificance. You even dare to kill your guide—where is your conscience? What I taught you was how to navigate the world smoothly, not to flatter the powerful or take thieves as teachers. You truly disgrace the title of being someone's child!"
Zhao Yang spoke these words with dignity and strength, each slap echoing loudly, his words resonating even more!
