Su Yu looked at the young girl, then shook his head. âIâm not arrogant. Iâm just warning you. If you donât want an accident to occur, which will make it so that you never get to come out again, then you better not cause trouble for me after entering the testing grounds. Iâm saving your lives, after all!â
Upon hearing Su Yuâs brazen words the Shao familyâs juniors were infuriated.
âWell then, letâs see about that!â the young girl yelled back, while looking at Su Yu coldly. Since the Shao family had just been insulted in front of everybody, she and her family were obliged to attack Su Yu and subdue him.
âWaves Rise Without Wind!â the young girl yelled as she weaved hand signs, unexpectedly using a magical ability.
At that moment, a formless cold wind appeared and surrounded the young girlâs body. Then, as she tapped the ground with the tips of her feet, she started drifting erratically about, like dust in the wind. Her movement technique was extremely fast.
As she was doing this, Su Yu just stayed in his place, sweeping his gaze over the surroundings. He then pointed his finger suddenly in the direction of a palace that was just beside him.
Bang!
At that moment, a soft noise echoed out, followed by a muffled groan. In that instant, the young girl, who possessed an extremely fast movement technique, was spinning around at a very high speed, which had caused her to stumble and fall down.
As blood seeped out of the corners of her mouth, her pretty face became ice-cold. âThis still isnât over yet!â
She then yelled, âWind Controlling Finger!â
The young girl didnât retreat, but attacked instead. While wind revolved around her fingertip, her fingertip became as sharp as a needle.
All the while, the wind still continued whirling beneath her feet, causing her to flicker around like a ghost. In this way, she reached Su Yu in just the twinkling of an eye.
Her sharp fingertip was just a meter from Su Yu. However, the latter thrust his fist forward at this moment, igniting several wisps of flames inside his body, which immediately engulfed his fist.
Crack!
As a crisp sound echoed out, the young girlâs index finger was completely fractured. Then, the powerful strength spread to her whole arm through her finger, fracturing all of her arm bones!
The young girl screamed miserably, while her face turned pale and she stumbled backward continuously. However, things didnât end there, as the flame in Su Yuâs palm also spread to her body and started to burn her dress!
Although the woman revolved her Vital Energy quickly, trying to extinguish the flame, this particular flame was quite strange, so her Vital Energy could only obstruct it reluctantly, while half of her body continued to burn!
Upon seeing this, Shao Yuemingâs gaze became ice-cold. He waved his palm at the young girl, causing a Divine Master Realmâs power to engulf her and extinguish the flames.
Many spots on her body were burned until they had become scarlet, while half of her dress was also burned. Her chest, which was hidden by her clothes before, was now slightly shivering, as it was exposed and bathed in the sunlight now.
âAh!â the woman cried out sharply. She was ashamed and resentful, and she crouched down as she tried to cover her body.
As Su Yu took back his fist, the flames that were on it disappeared. He then said calmly, âItâs obvious that Iâm capable of causing you all to suffer an accident, and if anyone is unconvinced of this fact, he can step forward now.â
Everyone was astounded to hear him say such a thing. They were already shocked by the fact that he had managed to defeat a Level Two Fairy with just a single punch, so seeing him defeat even a Level Three Fairy with a single punch was mind-boggling!
Everyone looked at Su Yu in shock, while wagging their tongues about him...
âWhere did Madame Situ manage to find such an expert? His fighting prowess is probably at the peak of the Level Three Fairy Realm!â
âThe Situ family is really lucky. Such young experts usually have their own ways for getting a recommendation, so how could he still need to accept a mission of protecting the Situ familyâs juniors?â
As the Shao family had now lost two times in a row, it was utterly disgraced.
âWhat? No challengers?â Su Yu swept his gaze over the Shao familyâs remaining four Level Three Fairies, as well as the one Level Four Fairy and the callous young girl, who was at the Level Five Fairy Realm. It seemed to the Shao familyâs experts like his gaze was a provocation.
âI will face him!â a Level Three Fairy shouted, unwilling to accept it Su Yuâs bullying any longer.
âAh!â However, just when they had started fighting, that Level Three Fairy was sent flying by a single punch!
âCount me in, too!... Ah!â
âMe too...â
âAh! I still didnât finish my speech!â
The crowd then witnessed all of the Shao familyâs Level Three Fairies, who each stepped forward and challenged Su Yu before being sent flying by just a single punch! Su Yuâs oppressive might made the crowd realize just how powerful Su Yu really was.
Upon seeing this scene, Madame Situâs eyes flickered, and it was clear that she was greatly delighted. That great sir really had found a devilish genius for them!
He was obviously just a Level One Fairy, yet he could still crush all of the Shao familyâs Level Three Fairies so easily. In fact, his fighting prowess had probably already reached the Level Four Fairy Realm.
The gazes of the Shao familyâs juniors all changed. At first, they had felt insulted and shocked, but now, they were afraid.
Now, none of them dared to step forward, and only the Level Three Fairy young girl was left. As she looked in fear at Su Yu, she stumbled backward unceasingly.
This Su Yu was too powerful! All she could think of at the moment was that she didnât want her clothes to be burned by him, thus forcing her to carry such a humiliation for the rest of her life.
âAre those the Shao familyâs most talented descendants? Shao Familyâs Master, you really should worry more about your familyâs juniors and leave the Situ family alone,â Su Yu said calmly as he looked at Shao Yueming.
Shao Yuemingâs expression became gloomy after he witnessed his juniors being sent flying away, one after another.
The Shao familyâs two remaining people were the Shao familyâs young master, as well as the branch familyâs young girl. These two were the only people who still hadnât challenged him.
âI will fight you.â A seventeen-year-old youngster clasped his hands behind his back as he walked forward. He wore an ice-cold look and didnât seem to have been affected by his familyâs defeat at all. Instead, his gaze was filled with great confidence.
âYoung Master Shao!â Madame Situ squinted her eyes, while expectation appeared within them. After all, this was a good opportunity for her to probe both the Shao familyâs current young masterâs cultivation, as well as Su Yuâs true power.
Expectation also appeared on the faces of all of the familyâ members.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shao Yueming then raised his eyebrows, and said âLingjian, donât be rash. It is still not time for you to fight.â He said this was because he didnât want the people to see through his childâs true power before the test, as it would be quite harmful to him during the test if this should happen.
Shao Lingjian clasped his hands together as he said, âI know what Iâm doing. I will make just a single move. Then, I will give up, regardless of the outcome.â He was aware of what was at stake here, so he didnât want to fight for too long because of that fact.
He looked calmly at Su Yu, then said, âBoth of us need just one move.â
Many families watched them with rapt attention. There were many rumors about Shao Lingjianâs power, and the people had only witnessed him actually fighting a few times.
It was rumored that he had once defeated someone who had just advanced into the Level Five Fairy Realm. It was even said that he had once fought a Level Six Fairy and had matched him point by point! His true power was always a riddle!
Su Yu spoke carefreely as he yelled, âMake a move!â
Shao Lingjian, who had clasped his hands behind his back, took a step forward, and as his clothes fluttered, he slowly extended his right hand. At that moment, a sound that was as loud as a clap of thunder echoed forth from his arm bones. Itâs echo rang out more than forty-nine times.
âHundred Bones Demonic Tempering Technique?â Madame Situ asked as she stared at him fixedly.
Her expression became slightly grave. Then, a faint sign of hatred appeared on her face as she said, âMy husband went on an expedition with Shao Yueming in the past, and in the end, my husband died inexplicably, while the latter succeeded in bringing back with him a high grade legendary cultivation technique, the Hundred Bones Demonic Tempering Technique.â
It was rumored that this cultivation technique was passed down from ancient times, and even though it was incomplete, it was still an extremely powerful body tempering demonic technique. After one managed to cultivate it successfully, his bonesâ density would increase drastically, which would then cause his bodyâs power to also increase.
Shao Yueming was just an ordinary candidate for the young master position before, but after he had gotten that technique, he had managed to snatch the young masterâs position. He even defeated many familiesâ masters. This was all due to the Hundred Bones Demonic Tempering Technique.
The death of Situ Familyâs Master was obviously related to this Hundred Bones Demonic Tempering Technique, as well as being related to Shao Yueming.
âIf you block my punch head-on, your arm bones will surely break apart into forty-nine pieces. So, you had better prepare yourself for that,â Shao Lingjian said.
âBreak open!â Shao Lingjian then shouted, while he walked over and extended his other hand toward Su Yuâs head. At that moment, a faint friction sound echoed in the air around his arm.
Su Yu felt a slight sense of danger coming from it at that moment, so he didnât take Shao Lingjian lightly. After Su Yuâs body had gone through numerous destructions and rebirths while in the reverse time flow, as well as the tempering of Disastrous Lightning and Disastrous Flame, its power reached the Level Four Fairy Realm. Moreover, it was at such a level even when he wasnât using the First Dragonâs Body!
As such, it would be difficult for anyone under the Level Four Fairy Realm to block even a single punch from him. However, Shao Lingjianâs Hundred Bones Demonic Tempering Technique was no small matter, so Su Yu knew that he must deal with him cautiously. At that moment, his armâs internal blood energy channel became golden, while his armâs power rose drastically.
Bang!
He then thrust his fist forward and faced his opponentâs fist head-on. At that moment, Shao Lingjianâs calloused facial expression changed slightly, his calm gaze becoming slightly grave.
Thump! Thump!
He stumbled back two steps, while his left hand, which was now behind his back, had already taken back by him at some unknown time. He was no longer composed and confident at all like he had been before he had attacked Su Yu.
As for Su Yu, he also fell back two steps, as he was slightly startled. He had already used his whole bodyâs power, having reached the Level Five Fairy Realm. Yet, he only managed to fight Shao Lingjian into a draw!
However, since pure physical power was Su Yuâs most basic power, if he managed to cultivate the Buddhist Saintâs Eight Characters Technique and then used it, even the young girl, who was at Level Five Fairy Realm, would be forced to dodge it!
Everyoneâs gazes became grave after they witnessed such a scene. Shao Lingjian was obviously powerful, but the mysterious bamboo-hatted genius shocked them all even more!
After all, he was just a Level One Fairy, yet he possessed a fleshly body that rivaled a Level Five Fairyâs. Everyone had to wonder... What did this mean? Clearly, it meant that he was powerful to an outrageous degree!
Shao Yuemingâs face became gloomy, and he finally began to take Su Yu seriously. As Shao Lingjian took a deep look at Su Yu, he retreated slowly. However, he still continued to fight.
âCan I give it a try?â the Level Five Fairy young girl, whose name was Shao Li, spoke coldly as she looked at Su Yu.
Shao Yueming waved his hand at her in refusal and shouted, âCome back!â
Shao Lingjianâs attack already seemed like an act of bullying, and if another Level Five Fairy fought him, he was worried that everyone would just laugh at them. Even if Shao Li won, the Shao family would just get a bad name as being shameless sore losers. If she lost, the people would only mock them even more! Either way, it would be inappropriate for her to fight!
âLad... Who are you?â Shao Yueming couldnât believe that a junior with such an amazing power would run for the Situ family as a mere guard.
He was baffled by this matter. Not only him, but all the people here were also baffled by it.
With the outstanding capability that he had just displayed, he shouldnât be just a nobody. He was someone all of the families would try to recruit to protect their family members in the test, just like what the Situ family had done. He wondered... Did the Situ family manage to find him by mere good luck?
On the Shangguan familyâs side
Shock appeared in Shangguan Yunqueâs eyes. âFather, that bamboo-hatted man with the Situ family is outrageously powerful. I assumed that we only were the only ones who invited a Level Five Fairy to help. I didnât expect that the Situ family would also have such a young expert on their side!â
The Shangguan Familyâs Master nodded when he heard him, then looked at the bamboo-hatted man and said, âItâs really unexpected. Even if this genius doesnât manage to join the Red Blood Palace, the Situ family will surely recruit him and train him meticulously, which means that he will surely attain great achievements in the future.â
He then added, âYunque, you should look for an opportunity later on to chat with him. See whether heâs willing to join our Shangguan family.â The Shangguan Familyâs Master clearly appreciated the bamboo-hatted man a great deal.
Shangguan Yunque wore an embarrassed look as he said, âFather, it isnât good to steal other peopleâs treasures away from them! Besides, the Situ family isnât faring well these days, so why are we still bullying them?â
