Chapter 232: Battle of Three Moves

"Hmph! The strength you just displayed is still not enough to rival my deceased brother, let alone defeat him

Luo Haotian’s face carried a chill, and his tone was thick with skepticism.

Chen Yu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, alertness arising in his heart.

Clearly,

Luo Haotian was not here to exchange pointers, but to cause trouble.

As for the death of Luo Haochen, his elder brother Luo Haotian harbored deep doubts, always suspecting there was more to the story.

Especially since,

The strength Chen Yu had just displayed was not enough to contend with Luo Haochen.

"Luo Haotian, given your status as a ‘Heavenly List’ genius and senior of the ‘No Demon Academy’, is this proposal for an exchange fair?”

Princess Ning’s delicate brows furrowed as she rose to speak.

As the host of this gathering, it was her prerogative to uphold justice.

Furthermore,

The glory of the Hunting King was a hallmark of the new generation in Yunlai County; and the hunting festival was organized by the Prince Manor.

"Rest assured, Princess Ning.”

Luo Haotian gave Princess Ning a fist salute, confidently saying,

"I will maintain my cultivation and Bloodline Power at a level similar to my brother Luo Haochen.”

"Just three moves from me to Chen Yu! That should be fair, right?”

Luo Haotian asserted righteously.

Three moves?

The gathered talents were all momentarily stunned but felt it was an acceptable challenge.

As the Hunting King, Chen Yu should have stepped over Luo Haochen’s corpse to seize the honor.

If

He couldn’t even handle three moves from Luo Haotian’s Postnatal Stage Cultivation and Bloodline Power, then it indeed cast doubt on the cause of Luo Haochen’s death.

"Three moves?”

Chen Yu didn’t immediately respond.

This Luo Haotian, as a genius of the Heavenly List and a descendant of an Ancient Clan, had a peak strength that definitely surpassed that of Elder Mao, his own Master.

This seemingly simple “exchange of three moves” proposed by Luo Haotian likely had ulterior motives.

"Chen Yu, as long as you can safely withstand my three moves, I, Luo Haotian, and the Luo Family will not pursue any responsibility for Haochen’s death.”

Luo Haotian said placidly.

"Fine!”

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes.

If Luo Haotian’s Cultivation and Bloodline Power were to be kept at the same level as his brother’s, Chen Yu truly had no fear.

Swoosh!

Luo Haotian skimmed a wave across the surface of the lake.

Immediately,

His figure astonishingly floated calmly on the water, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking and cruel cold smile.

Chen Yu’s pupils narrowed.

Luo Haotian’s movement technique was truly incredible, standing on the surface of the lake without the need to tread on the waves.

The exquisite application of True Qi between his feet and the water’s surface was nothing short of divinely subtle.

Moreover,

The fluctuations of True Qi emanating from his body were indeed controlled at the level of the Postnatal Peak, roughly equivalent to that of Luo Haochen on that day.

Splash~

Chen Yu slowly tread on the waves, keeping a distance from Luo Haotian on the surface of the lake.

At this moment,

Chen Yu acknowledged a certain gap between himself and this Heavenly List genius in the realms of True Qi control and movement technique.

"Take my first move.”

Luo Haotian’s expression was icy as a layer of scorching black energy surged around him, emitting a wildly raging and terrifying aura.

Chen Yu took a deep breath.

This Luo Haotian, with just the use of pure True Qi, could exert a pressure comparable to the Qi Transformation Innate level, far surpassing Pang Zhenzhen’s performance earlier.

Splash~ Whoosh!

The spray of water suddenly blossomed, and a scorching black shadow struck towards Chen Yu.

Such incredible speed!

Chen Yu’s heart pounded rapidly, he quickly gathered his power, greatly increasing his reaction speed.

He lifted his fist, black True Qi erupting with full force as his Copper Statue Technique operated to its limit, blasting towards a black shadow.

Whoosh!

The black shadow shifted its trajectory, vanishing like a specter.

In the very next instant,

Boom!

A fist radiating a profound and searing light, as if originating from a dark universe, came barreling down with oppressive heaviness towards the side of Chen Yu’s back.

"What a powerful punch!”

"That a Postnatal stage could unleash such might!”

In the field of vision, where the fistlight passed, the surface of the lake split, the surrounding water evaporated instantly, shrouded in a misty vapor.

Chen Yu felt a surge of dark flame energy infiltrating his body first.

All the hairs on his body stood on end.

The opponent before him, whether it was in Cultivation, movement technique, or realm, far surpassed himself.

The situation was greatly disadvantageous to him.

Chen Yu’s previous punch had already been executed halfway; even if he reflexively retracted it to counter, he would still fall into a defensive position.

"Brother Haotian, you must pull your punches.”

In the pavilion far away, the graceful and classical white-robed lady sighed softly.

Luo Qiuman naturally understood that Luo Haotian intended to use these three moves to harshly teach Chen Yu a lesson, to reveal his “true colors.”

Furthermore,

Chen Yu had fallen into Luo Haotian’s “trap.”

With the same Cultivation and Bloodline Power, the advantage Luo Haotian had in terms of realm level and mastery of his Cultivation Technique could render his combat strength nearly double that of Luo Haochen!

Just then,

Woohoo!

A thunderous roar, like the sound of spring thunder, swept over the entire scene, causing Luo Qiuman’s heart to tremble.

On the lake,

The area where Chen Yu and Luo Haotian were, the water churned, and the twisted evil wind sound waves engulfed Luo Haotian.

Luo Haotian’s form, his attack, halted momentarily!

The many spectators present all wore expressions of disbelief.

The might of Chen Yu’s Sound Wave Secret Technique was so ferocious; it actually had such a noticeable effect on Luo Haotian, who was at the Innate Peak.

Although this was under the premise that Luo Haotian could only exhibit Postnatal Peak Cultivation.

A trace of surprise appeared between Luo Haotian’s brows.

It turned out,

After Chen Yu’s punch was half-executed and he realized countering Luo Haotian’s blow while exposed would put him at a disadvantage,

He simply abandoned punching.

In the moment of turning back, he brewed a strike of the “Copper Lion Roar.”

This time, the “Copper Lion Roar” was twice as mighty as the one used against Pang Zhenzhen, far exceeding Luo Haotian’s expectations.

At this moment.

Luo Haotian’s blood surged throughout his body, and with a sway of his figure, the punch that had the advantage suddenly halted for a half breath.

Half a breath of time.

Not only did it buy Chen Yu a moment to breathe, but Luo Haochen’s momentum was also weakened.

If right now.

Chen Yu launched a counter-punch, he could turn the tables.

But.

Chen Yu did not want to just turn the tables.

Whoosh!

The moment after executing “Copper Lion Roar,” he transformed into a blur of deep copper brilliance, with black malevolent wind swirling around him, and he slammed fiercely into Luo Haotian.

Boom!

Like a colossal copper statue weighing ten thousand jin, Chen Yu collided with Luo Haotian, with waves churning and evil winds violently sweeping ten zhang in all directions.

"What!”

The many talents present were rendered speechless in astonishment.

Bang!

Luo Haotian staggered back on the lake’s surface, and a trace of shock shown through his pupils.

In the moment that “Copper Lion Roar” weakened Luo Haochen’s offensive and his shape flickered, revealing a flaw, Chen Yu did not hesitate to charge at him.

Not only did he regain the advantage, but he also seized the opportunity to exploit the opponent’s gap.

The heart accumulating power, the black True Qi, and the Copper Statue Gang Body—all three forces combined to send Luo Haotian flying five or six zhang.

"Kid, you’re really ruthless!”

Luo Haotian steadied his blood and his face was ashen.

Had he not reacted swiftly in that split second, he likely would have been hit so hard by this lad that he would have vomited blood.

Even so.

His arm and shoulder still felt burning pain, nearly resulting in a minor injury.

On the other side.

Chen Yu felt a tyrannically scorching, overbearing flame power infiltrating his body.

Fortunately, his physical defense was strong enough, and within a few heartbeats, he had neutralized the flame power, remaining unharmed.

"As a big brother, you’re only slightly better than your younger brother, even when at the same level of cultivation.”

Chen Yu twisted his neck and wore a mocking smile.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Haotian’s rage surged, and he was infuriated.

Under normal situations, or even when facing peers of the same level, he would not lose his cool because of this.

The key issue was.

That with high realm, high cultivation, and high bloodline advantages, his attack was almost reversed by this lad, he was put at a disadvantage, and he lost face in front of all the talents.

"Kid, I’ll admit I underestimated you and was a bit careless. But during that strike, I didn’t even use my Bloodline Power.”

A sneer skimmed across the lake’s surface.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Haotian passed through several blurry afterimages and moved close to Chen Yu.

Thump thump! Thump thump thump!

Chen Yu’s heart prepared to unleash its power, entering a state ready to explode.

In an instant.

His strength, speed, including his reaction speed, increased dramatically, and his Spiritual Sense locked onto Luo Haotian.

Whizz!

Amidst the scorching black flow around Luo Haotian’s body, another layer of incandescent fierce light emerged, akin to Luo Haochen’s Bloodline Power, but even more pure and overbearing.

"Ancient Bloodline!”

Around the lake, a murmur arose from the various pavilions.

Many people began to worry covertly for Chen Yu, the Hunting King.

"Ha ha ha

A hearty laugh echoed across the lake.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu, like a black panther, suddenly increased his speed, not falling behind Luo Haotian.

Even in terms of absolute speed, he had a slight advantage.

"This guy

Luo Haotian felt a chill in his heart, not expecting Chen Yu to burst forth with such speed.

Whooom.

During Chen Yu’s full-force burst, he took the initiative to meet him, releasing a black python wrapped in a dark glow, with malevolent wind and blood patterns intertwined.

Vaguely, a hint of blood scale pattern emerged on his arm.

In this moment.

Chen Yu used his “Dragon Scale Bloodline” in a small area, combined with his heart’s explosive technique, amplifying his strength nearly one or two times his usual power.

Roar!

The transformed black python, released from his fist, was ferocious and emitted an ancient beast’s pressure, clashing with Luo Haotian.

Boom!

As the two exchanged blows, waves several zhang high surged, magnificent in momentum, with water splashing even into the nearby pavilions.

Thud!

With a muffled groan, Luo Haotian was sent flying nearly ten zhang.

"How can this be!”

Luo Haotian’s inner roar joined with the astonished cries of the crowd.

"How did Luo Haotian get sent flying again?”

The many geniuses of the academy were dumbfounded.

Even the classically elegant girl in white robes, “Luo Qiuman,” had her cherry lips slightly parted, in disbelief.

But reality was indeed laid out before them.

Luo Haotian was sent flying directly by Chen Yu for the second time.

The difference was.

The first time with his body, and this time with his fist.

"Such formidable strength! Could it be that this person has transformed from a legendary Holy Beast.”

Inside the main pavilion, Princess Ning couldn’t help but exclaim.

A discerning person could see that Chen Yu’s second move overwhelmed Luo Haotian because of his sudden rise in explosive strength, which was terrifying.

The heart’s explosion, coupled with the momentary enhancement by the Dragon Scale Bloodline, created a formidable strength that even exceeded Chen Yu’s own imagination.

"What just happened!”

Luo Haotian forcefully suppressed a surge of stagnant blood within him, his face full of astonishment.

"The Bloodline Power that emerged from this lad for a moment actually imposed a deterring pressure on my Bai Chi Bloodline, only allowing me to utilize seventy to eighty percent of the Bloodline Power

Luo Haotian’s inner turmoil was indescribable.

Just now.

Had it not been for his body being secretly protected by Innate True Qi, he would probably have had a few ribs broken.

However, this detail of “cheating” was hardly noticeable by outsiders.

"Sir, regarding our agreement of three moves, only the last one remains. For the first two moves, it seems you were sent flying both times.”

Chen Yu’s face was filled with ridicule.

What does it matter if your Cultivation Realm is slightly higher than mine?

Similarly in the Postnatal Stage, Chen Yu ignored these differences with absolute strength and explosive power.

"Kid, don’t be too arrogant. I haven’t used my real trump card yet.”

Luo Haotian’s face alternated between red and green.

"Oh!”

"So, you’re saying that sending you flying a third time might present a little difficulty
