Chapter Eighteen: A Contest of Skills

  "Shi Tiancheng, you really don't put me in your eyes, do you?" A figure emerged from the shadows and threw a punch directly at Shi Tiancheng's head. This one punch was at least seventy oxen strong, comparable to Shi Tiancheng's own strength. Naturally, Shi Tiancheng didn't dare to take it head-on, so he quickly flipped his body and dodged Shi Congyu's fist.

  Shi Cong Yu Hu stood beside Xuan Yuan, a pair of eyes already shining brightly, nodding repeatedly:

  "Alright, alright, Xuan Yuan little brother, you indeed kept your promise. A mere Shi Zhengfeng, dead is just dead, nothing much, as long as you can enter my Yuehua Gate, it's worth more than a hundred Shi Zhengfengs." The muscles on Shi Cong's body bulged out, his voice extremely coarse, and he burst into loud laughter, making Shi Tiancheng's face look extremely ugly.

  "Shi Cong Yu, we all came out of Shi Village together, and you're treating your own village brother like this for the sake of an outsider?" Shi Tian Cheng coldly rebuked.

  "Ha! This young master Xuan Yuan has already announced the names of my sister and me, but Shi Zhengfeng won't even give me this bit of face. Why should I care about his life or death? Humph, young master Xuan Yuan, let's go! My Moon Flower Gate is a place where strength speaks for itself, and with your strength, you're already on par with us." Shi Congyu burst out laughing and grabbed Xuan Yuan's hand, heading straight forward. Shi Tiancheng didn't dare to stop them, after all, they were the ones in the wrong this time.

  "Thanks for the help from the Big Brother of Yu Da." Xuan Yuan smiled, blew a whistle: "Lonely Star, let's go."

  In the Moon Palace, countless people, as well as those who were originally gloating in the desolate city of Moon Barren, were stunned. This small child, who was originally just a lowly commoner, had transformed into someone who could sit on an equal footing with Stone Tiancheng and Stone Congwei, making them feel unbelievable.

  Shi Tiancheng's eyes flashed with a hint of malice, without even looking at Shi Zhengfeng's corpse, he turned around and left, apparently to report the incident.

  Moon Absolute's face turned pale. How did she end up with such a pervert? If she were to enter Moon Flower Gate, wouldn't she have to be on guard against his secret plots in the future?

  Yuè Róng was extremely shocked, never expecting things to develop to this extent. Xuán Yuān had no intention of killing her, otherwise she would have been killed that day. However, Yuè Róng felt deeply humiliated and found it hard to swallow this insult.

  In the center of Moonlit City.

  On a high platform built with giant stones, at the highest position, sat a man and a woman. The man was naturally Mo Huadong's senior brother, Yue Teng. Beside Yue Teng, Shi Tiancheng was telling him about what had just happened, causing Yue Teng to frown repeatedly. The woman was Mo Huadong's second sister, Yan Ziyun. Beside Yan Ziyun stood Liu Piaoxue.

  Under the high platform, it was packed with people.

  On the high platform, apart from the inner disciples of the Moon Flower Gate, there were less than ten people participating in the competition, it was clear that these days had already taken a toll on many of them.

  These people lined up in a row, striking themselves one by one. A giant stone about three meters high and two meters wide was in front of them. One person stepped forward, punching the giant stone with a loud crash, causing it to emit a burst of light that quickly faded away.

  "With the strength of nine oxen, having the opportunity to enter the realm of Dou Shi, can be accepted as an outer door disciple." Yue Teng saw this scene and opened his mouth, only to see that person excitedly kneeling and bowing towards him:

  "Thank you, senior brother."

  Then he was taken away by the people of the Moon Pavilion.

  Next, another person stepped forward, punching out a massive stone that emitted an even more piercing light than before, swirling around for a while before fading away.

  "The strength of eighteen cows is pretty good and has great potential to enter the realm of Dou Shi. Go and get the necessities for the inner disciples." Yue Teng spoke again.

  Shi followed Yu onto the high platform, where Xuan Yuan gazed out at the crowd, taking in Yue Teng and Yan Ziyun, as well as dozens of Moon Flower Gate's inner disciples standing on either side. He spotted Liu Piaoxue from that day smiling at him, and Xuan Yuan smiled back in response.

  "Xuanyuan little brother, this is a testing stone monument that can test one's strength and potential. Next, you go up and just punch with all your might." Shi Congyu instructed.

  Xuanyuan nodded.

  It's almost Xuan Yuan's turn soon.

  "Look quickly, this person is said to be personally selected by the Great Master himself from outside, extremely formidable, and may have already reached the Dou Shi realm."

  "I don't know what level of cultivation he has reached."

  Hearing these people's whispers, Shi Congwei whispered:

  "This time if Second Sister doesn't accept a disciple, she'll probably be suppressed by Eldest Brother forever."

  Xuanyuan immediately understood the crux of the matter and was afraid that this was a test of the abilities of these two people by the Moon Flower Gate.

  Only to see that the young man brought back by Yue Teng, his body shook violently, and he suddenly punched out a fist, smashing it onto the testing stone stele. A loud rumbling sound echoed, as a brilliant light shot up into the sky, causing everyone present to be momentarily blinded. The light rotated at an altitude of ten meters before finally dissipating.

  Yuè Téng Jí was very satisfied, nodded his head and smiled:

  "Good, very good, sixty-four oxen's strength, not bad."

  The peak of a general warrior is the power of nine oxen, the peak of a warrior is the power of thirty-six oxen, and the peak of a martial artist is the power of ninety-nine oxen. If one breaks through to the realm of a martial spirit, then they must be measured by dragons. The power of one flying dragon is the symbol of entering the realm of a martial spirit.

  "If it weren't for Master Yuè Téng's guidance, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today." He looked rather handsome and spoke with an air of pride. After flattering Yuè Téng with a sentence, he withdrew with a swagger.

  Yan Ziyun was extremely beautiful, and with just one glance, her charm was boundless. However, at this moment, her mood wasn't great. She hadn't expected that Yue Teng's hand would reach so far as to stretch into Hongri City, even cultivating the son of the city lord. This was the only place where she had miscalculated.

  Shi patted Xuan Yuan's shoulder with his feather fan and said:

  "Xuanyuan little brother, it's all up to you now."

  Xuanyuan nodded and walked forward, immediately causing a commotion among countless people.

  "It was him, so young yet he killed Shi Zhengfeng and could even withstand a punch from Shi Tiancheng."

  "What's more, compared to this kind of genius who can enter the Dou Ling level, he would also pale in comparison."

  "Just a lowly-born commoner, how can I compare with the Hong Manor!"

  Xuanyuan was deaf to these comments, and his heart moved:

  "The greedy old man said to keep a low profile..."

  Xuanyuan took a step forward, his waist twisting, and he withdrew all his aura inward, using the 'Heavenly Dragon's Body Exploration' to strike the testing stone stele with pure power.

  A burst of energy shot up into the air, just over a meter high, and after swirling around for a while, it dissipated.

  Shi burst out laughing:

  "Good, Xuan Yuan little brother, I didn't expect you to have the strength of fifty-four oxen, and your potential is limitless! A warrior at the Dou Shi boundary actually has the strength of fifty-four oxen, unheard of!"

  At this moment, Yan Ziyun's beautiful face broke into a brilliant smile, and she glanced at Yue Teng, whose expression had turned gloomy, before standing up from her seat with a gentle smile.

  "Alright, very good, from Yu, this is the young master Xuan Yuan you told me about, a great seedling! Eldest senior brother, I'll take my leave!" Yan Ziyun walked up to Xuan Yuan and patted his head, she was in a very good mood.

  Yuè Téng's face was indifferent, he had already learned about Xuanyuan from Shí Tiānchéng, as if everything was under his control:

  "According to the decision of our sect, let's have a trial with the strongest disciple we've received, and then decide the positions between you and me."

  Yan Zi Yun said in a cold tone:

  "Master, isn't that a bit too much? Xuan Yuan has only 54 oxen of strength and is still in the Warrior Realm. How can he be compared to Master?"

  Yuè Téng burst out laughing and said:

  "So you've already admitted that Xuan Yuan is inferior to his junior brother. Second sister, yield!"

  Yan Ziyun smiled and said:

  "It's better than natural, wait until we return to the sect and then compare again, it won't be late. At that time, let the sect leader and all the elders witness it personally, this is fair!"

  "Jokes, are you saying that everything should be handed over to the elders and let them take charge? Second sister, you're a woman after all, too indecisive." Yue Teng counterattacked. Xuan Yuan felt extremely strange about him, as his aura was at the level of 54 oxen, which only some people with special physiques possessed. If such a person were to return to the sect, he would lose his advantage, and naturally couldn't let Yan Ziyun have her way.

  Yan Ziyun was about to speak when Xuan Yuan opened his mouth.

  "Less nonsense, let's compare if you dare." Xuan Yuan's words directly startled Yan Ziyun and Shi Congyu, as the two people were a full ten cows apart in terms of strength, and the opponent had already entered the realm of Dou Shi, refining their bones. In a decisive battle, Xuan Yuan would be at a great disadvantage.

  Yuè Téng didn't expect that this Xuān Yuán would actually come to send himself to his death, and laughed:

  "Alright, Xuan Yuan junior brother, Master will grant your wish. Take good care of your junior brother."

  Yan Ziyun's face changed color, she knew that at this moment, it was too late to say anything. How could this Xuan Yuan Shi Di be so impulsive? He was indeed a young man, full of youthful vigor!
