"Just a fluke! Just a fluke! How may I address you, Senior Sister?"
Li Yunjing still wore a smiling face, but thought to himself, "Trouble is coming."
"My family has a Martial Arts Arena. Defeat me and Iâll tell you my name!"
With a wave of her hand, the woman moved towards the outside.
She didnât seek Li Yunjingâs opinion at all!
This woman was too self-centered!
"Uh..."
Seeing this, Li Yunjing was speechless. What did this mean?
Had he encountered a battle maniac?
And a woman at that?
Why should I fight you?
This is so baffling!
Li Yunjing felt aggrieved in his heart; how could they target a newcomer like this?
"Hahaha! Interesting!"
Witnessing this scene, Fu Chao laughed heartily and was the first to rise from his seat. He walked over to Li Yunjing and said with a smile, "Letâs go! Thereâs no way you can avoid this fight today."
The others got up one after another, each giving Li Yunjing a meaningful look before heading outside.
They were happy to watch the spectacle!
It was a perfect opportunity to observe Li Yunjing and see if he really belonged in their circle!
If he wasnât qualified, even Yu Yunyiâs face wouldnât be enough to save him!
If he was a genius, of course, theyâd want to make friends with him. After all, having one more friend is having one more path.
Even a genius needs equally outstanding people to support them on their journey!
Even Yu Yunyi felt quite helpless about the situation. She sighed and gave Li Yunjing a meaningful look.
"What?"
Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi hadnât met many times, so he naturally didnât understand what Yu Yunyi meant!
Was she signaling him to go easy or to give her a thorough beating?
He just couldnât tell!
Womenâs thoughts were hard to guess!
Yu Yunyi seemed to notice Li Yunjingâs confusion. She initially wanted to say something.
But after reconsidering, she refrained from speaking and just followed everyone outside.
Yu Yunyi clearly didnât know what to do either, and since she couldnât stop it, she decided to let things take their course!
"Hey, Junior Brother Li, show us some real skills!"
Yang Wenzheng walked past Li Yunjing, smiling brightly.
"Iâll do my best!"
Li Yunjing now understood the situation.
If he didnât show some impressive techniques, these so-called geniuses wouldnât take him seriously!
Since that was the case, he decided to see just how formidable the inner sect prodigies really were!
With this thought, Li Yunjingâs heart ignited with determination, and he strode boldly after the imposing, cold-looking woman.
"Hoo-ha!"
Soon, nearly twenty people followed the woman to a martial arts arena in the Yu Familyâs backyard.
The cold wind howled, filled with killing intent!
The atmosphere evoked a sense of heroic departure and no return, reminiscent of ancient battles.
For the sake of his dignity, Li Yunjing decided to show some skill and battle with the inner sect prodigy!
This martial arts arena spanned over three thousand square meters, built entirely of gigantic stones and reinforced with inscribed spells, capable of withstanding expert strikes without being destroyed.
The arenaâs surface bore traces of numerous battles, indicating that Yu Yunyi had often sparred here.
"Iâll test your skills! Letâs see what youâre capable of, claiming to have defeated a Great Perfection Qi Cultivator!"
The womanâs aura transformed as she entered the arena, exuding killing intent like a Valkyrie. Silently and ghost-like, she lunged at Li Yunjing, throwing a punch directly at him.
The air exploded with a thunderous sound under the force of her punch!
"Bring it on!"
Li Yunjing sneered, his aura spreading out as well.
With his Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, he held nothing back and launched a punch of his own, imbued with the Sound of Breaking the Sky, meeting her punch head-on!
"Bang!"
As the two punches collided, Li Yunjing felt his whole arm go numb. His bones alternated between cold and hot as if they were broken. His feet involuntarily retreated two steps!
The ferocious woman didnât fare much better. She took a step back and violently shook her hand to alleviate the pain in her arm.
"Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer!"
Fu Chao, watching from the side, couldnât help but exclaim, clenching his fists tightly.
Li Yunjingâs cultivation astonished him.
Among all the geniuses present, his cultivation was the lowestâat the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer!
Unexpectedly, Li Yunjing, whom he had looked down on, had now caught up to him, giving Fu Chao an immediate sense of crisis.
Although he was an absolute genius, he didnât like to cultivate.
Normally, Fu Chao preferred to flirt with beautiful female cultivators, gather friends, hunt, and drink, avoiding cultivation altogether.
Thanks to his astonishing talent and abundant resources, he was guaranteed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Given that, why should he risk his life?
With his extraordinarily powerful elder brotherâs help after reaching the Golden Core Realm, he too might advance to the Golden Core Realm.
The path of life was already smooth.
He saw no need to force himself to do things he didnât want to do!
Fu Chao was an unusual genius who never fully realized his talent.
But now, with Li Yunjing reaching Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, for the first time, he felt at a loss and a sense of urgency.
He really didnât want to be surpassed by someone like Li Yunjing!
Li Yunjingâs rise gave Fu Chao the urge to go back and rigorously pursue cultivation.
Not only was Fu Chao shocked, but the others were also taken aback.
Everyone knew Li Yunjingâs background and was naturally curious about this newly risen figure, so they had investigated thoroughly.
Li Yunjingâs information was quite simple, and nearly everyone had a copy.
At the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, he had killed a Great Perfection Qi Cultivator!
Li Yunjingâs cultivation was clear to see!
And yet now, this person had advanced further!
Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer!
What kind of cultivation speed was this?
Li Yunjing had only entered the sect for half a year!
When joining, his personal information showed Qi Cultivation First Layer.
Advancement of a layer per month?
Is this even human?
"Shenxiao Dao Sect" had been established for many years, and the fastest cultivation speed was long forgotten.
But to these true disciples and inner sect geniuses, Li Yunjingâs speed was definitely the fastest theyâd ever seen amongst their peers!
This prompted much whispering and discussion from those observing the battle.
At this moment, Li Yunjing had no time to consider what others thought, nor could he bother to hide his cultivation or the shock it caused.
The force from the womanâs punch traveled through his arm and into his body, making it almost impossible to breathe from the pain.
"This must be a famed punching technique!"
This thought flashed through Li Yunjingâs mind.
"Senior Sister is indeed formidable! No wonder youâre an inner sect expert!"
Pressing down his discomfort, Li Yunjing finally spoke.
"Youâre not so bad yourself! You managed to block my attack! Now try my leg technique!"
The womanâs eyes seemed even brighter during the battle. As she spoke, she swiftly lifted her leg and launched an unexpected high roundhouse kick at Li Yunjing.
The black boots embroidered with plum blossoms aimed straight for Li Yunjingâs temples!
This blow, if landed, would be fatal!
"What a ruthless woman!"
Li Yunjingâs face changed, his smile vanished. He reached out and used his mana-powered martial art, "Twenty-four Ways of Grappling," quickly aiming for the womanâs ankle.
"Bang!"
But the womanâs attack was so dominant and powerful that Li Yunjingâs grappling technique failed. The sheer force from her "Golden Lotus Small Foot" repelled his palm.
"Think you can catch me? You lack the strength!"
The woman sneered, her knee twisted, and her jade-like leg continued to assault Li Yunjingâs waist.
A combination kick targeted at Li Yunjing!
"Bam!"
Li Yunjing, now on high alert, raised an arm to block, taking a step back.
The womanâs strength was immense, enough to shatter boulders with a kick. Li Yunjing didnât dare face it head-on and continuously retreated to dissipate her power.
"Letâs see how many moves you can evade!"
After several failed kicks, the woman was slightly surprised. She quickly switched tactics, chopping down with a "Splitting Palm," creating explosive sounds as the air cracked, showcasing immense power!
"Damn! This womanâs martial skills are formidable? She hasnât used any divine techniques, magic, or magical artifacts. This is just sparring, so I canât use those either; it would be a disgrace in front of the geniuses."
Despite the womanâs fierce assault, Li Yunjingâs mind remained clear. He accurately judged her movements and swiftly dodged to the side!
In terms of martial skills, Li Yunjing was proficient, having spent more time mingling in the martial world than in cultivation. He had countless experiences of overcoming strength with skill.
While the womanâs strength was superior, Li Yunjing utilized his sharp judgement and agile movements to avoid being struck again.
"Great moves!"
The woman praised, her momentum unwavering as she relentlessly delivered over a dozen consecutive palm strikes, each filled with killing intent, producing powerful auras.
Mana swirled through the womanâs palms, causing strong winds in the arena, with chilly gusts turning into wind blades that constantly targeted and attacked Li Yunjing.
At this point, pure martial power was insufficient against Li Yunjing, prompting the woman to resort to magic techniques.
Wind blades moved invisibly and with exceptional speed, making Li Yunjingâs head spin. Even with the "Wind-Catching and Shadow-Stealing Skill," he couldnât dodge them all.
The wind blades were like knives, with incredible lethality.
Li Yunjing didnât dare be careless, quickly using the "Stone Armor Skill," encasing his body in a thick layer of stone armor, covering even his eyes without leaving any gaps.
Now, Li Yunjing used his Divine Sense to locate the woman, employing the "Water and Fire United" technique.
Onlookers saw Li Yunjingâs arms each manifesting a mana-formed water snake and a fire snake, continually attacking the Valkyrie.
"Impressive! This is a composite spell! Iâve never seen it before!"
An inner sect disciple couldnât help but admire.
"I see traces of the âBlazing Fire Palmâ and the âInverted Sea Technique.â Li Yunjing must have fused these spells himself."
Xu Xun chuckled, though no one noticed the seriousness in his eyes.
It was clearâLi Yunjing was a genius!
Leng Yuqianâs cultivation wasnât low, already at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer as an inner sect disciple, capable of overpowering any loose cultivator at Great Perfection Qi Cultivation Realm.
Now, though the two didnât fight to the death, from the demonstrated techniques, it was clear Li Yunjing could face someone like Leng Yuqian head-on.
This made Xu Xun regard Li Yunjing with even more seriousness, acutely feeling that this person might pose a threat to him in the future.
This feeling made Xu Xun shake his head and laugh at himself. Could Li Yunjing really threaten him?
Xu Xun was proud and reluctant to admit this thought.
Xu Xunâs appreciation caused all the geniuses to once again focus their gaze on Li Yunjing.
His praise stirred up murmurs among the onlookers.
Many friends whispered to each other, discussing and analyzing Li Yunjingâs strength.
