Chapter 97: The Overbearing Wei Xinghai
"Wei Hong, you've finally come back." Wei Ning's face lit up with surprise and delight as soon as Wei Hong stepped into the fourth courtyard.
Wei Hong's footsteps came to a halt, but upon seeing the injuries on Wei Ning's face, his expression turned slightly solemn, and he furrowed his brow, asking: "What happened?"
Wei Ning's face revealed a hint of bitter smile, and he said dejectedly: "Comparing martial arts with others, it's just that my cultivation is too weak, I have no one to blame but myself."
Wei Hong also slightly shook his head and said: "Losing is not shameful, next time, we'll find our form again, but whatever you do, don't lose your confidence."
Upon hearing Wei Hong's words, Wei Ning didn't have any other reaction and instead said something else: "Wei Hong, recently Wei Xinghai has been inquiring about you everywhere. It seems he obtained a secret manual, the Wu Yue Shenquan fist, and has even achieved great success with it."
Wei Hong smiled faintly and said indifferently: "Last time I was able to defeat him, this time, he is still not my opponent."
He said a few more words to Wei Ning, and they agreed to meet up later for dinner. He then entered his own room, only to find that Xiao Ye was not there. Wei Hong didn't think much of it, simply took a shower, changed into some fresh clothes, and felt somewhat revitalized.
After completing the task, they all had to return to the Merit Hall, return the task wooden sign, and Wei Hong was about to go to the Merit Hall, while also wanting to see if there were any other tasks. When he arrived at the Merit Hall, he found that there were quite a few people, and the newly released tasks hanging on the wall caught Wei Hong's attention as he carefully examined them.
"Recently, Wei Xinghai has been really arrogant, actually challenging the top ten masters of the Wei family one after another."
"Haha, now the top ten of the Wei family are all squeezed out, you know, those who can make it to this round of the Great Wei Clan Competition aren't weaklings."
"Haha, our Wei family is getting stronger and stronger, it's naturally the best."
Wei Hong heard the words of the young men in the Gongde Hall and also secretly smiled. It seems that this kind of competition is still more encouraged by the family, but it's just unknown what the family thinks? After all, when the time comes for the sect's grand comparison, not all the young people can go to participate.
Just then, a surprised voice came from outside the door.
"Everyone, hurry to the martial arts arena! Wei Xinghai has actually challenged Wei Lin!"
"What? Wei Xinghai is indeed arrogant. Wei Lin is a top eight expert in the family after all."
Hearing the gossip outside, and seeing everyone in the Gongde Hall rushing towards the martial arena, Wei Hong also walked towards the martial arena with nothing better to do.
As he looked out at the crowd, he saw a young man in green standing on the martial arts stage, and Wei Xinghai's face revealed a hint of confidence and a slightly mocking gaze towards his opponent.
Feeling Wei Xinghai's momentum slightly strengthened, Wei Hong didn't mind. Genius, always progressing every moment, as if sensing Wei Hong's gaze, Wei Xinghai looked at Wei Hong on the martial arts stage with a hint of a sneer on his face.
"Hmph, I was going to look for you anyway. Now that you're here, it saves me the trouble." Wei Xinghai let out a cold snort as he saw Wei Hong, then shifted his gaze towards Wei Lin.
"You shouldn't have come to challenge me, don't think that just because you've challenged a few people, you're invincible." Wei Lin's face revealed a hint of mockery as he gazed at Wei Xinghai with a calm tone.
"In ten moves, I will defeat you." Wei Xinghai heard Wei Lin's words and a hint of cruelty flashed across his face as he said in a gloomy tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly threw a punch at Wei Lin, and with one move, Wei Xinghai was exceptionally fierce and didn't test the waters.
"I don't know whether he's dead or alive." Wei Lin's mouth curled up in a cold smile, and with that, he also punched Wei Xinghai to the ground.
The two men collided violently, each taking a few steps back. The first move was evenly matched, but at this moment, Wei Lin's face also showed a hint of solemnity, and it was clear that he had not expected that Wei Xinghai, although his cultivation was not weaker than his own, would have such great strength.
"Five Peaks Seal."
Wei Xinghai let out a light shout, and with a gentle slap of his palm, his hand was like a great mountain, heavily pressing down on Wei Lin, as if he wanted to crush him directly.
Iron Sand Fist.
Feeling Wei Lin's terrifying blow, Wei Lin's face finally didn't have the initial victory in hand. With a light drink, he suddenly stomped on the ground, like a long arrow rushing towards Wei Xinghai. At the same time, his double fists collided with Wei Xinghai's palm.
"Broken."
Wei Xinghai saw that Wei Lin actually dared to launch a preemptive attack, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He let out a light shout, and at this moment, he only saw Wei Hong's palm change once again, and a loud crash suddenly rang out.
BOOM!!
The fierce collision caused everyone to subconsciously narrow their eyes, and at this time, only to see that Wei Xinghai was moving differently, while Wei Lin's mouth corner overflowed with fresh blood. It was very clear that in this one move, Wei Xinghai had the upper hand.
"Not bad, kid. I underestimated you. From now on, I won't hold back." Wei Lin's face revealed a hint of gloominess as he spoke in a low tone.
Upon hearing Wei Lin's words, the crowd below suddenly realized that it was no wonder Wei Lin couldn't beat Wei Xinghai - he hadn't used his full strength.
"Bring out your full strength! Just now I didn't use my full strength either." Wei Xinghai's mouth corner revealed a hint of cold smile, and he said lightly.
"Wow!!"
The crowd below was in an uproar, and upon hearing Wei Xinghai's words, what did this represent? It proved that even if Wei Lin were to attack with all his might, he may not necessarily be able to defeat Wei Xinghai. Could it be that every single one of them who came out this time was a freakishly talented individual?
Hearing Wei Xinghai's words, Wei Lin no longer spoke much at this time, a flash of anger in his eyes, and he took the lead in attacking.
"Fist swallowing mountains and rivers."
At this moment, Wei Lin's entire body burst out with the strength of a 9th-grade warrior, extremely powerful. With one punch, like thunder, he directly attacked Wei Xinghai. This punch was Wei Lin's strongest move, and it had even forced back a martial artist of a higher level before.
"Five Peaks Seal."
Wei Xinghai's face also turned solemn at this moment, and he directly sent out both palms, intending to break Wei Lin's fist with his palm.
Wei Lin's heart flashed a cold smile as he saw Wei Xinghai dare to fight back, this punch had the power of thirty tigers, and Wei Xinghai wanted to block it, which was simply a fool's dream.
However, immediately afterwards, a look of shock appeared on Wei Lin's face. The punch that was supposed to be the decisive blow was easily deflected by Wei Xinghai's double palms, which then continued their momentum and slammed into Wei Lin's chest.
"Hmm"
Wei Lin was like a kite with its string cut off, and directly flew out of the arena.
Below, many young people looked at Wei Xinghai with a hint of shock on their faces. As the eighth master of the Wei family, Wei Lin's reputation was extremely high. Now, Wei Xinghai had directly defeated Wei Lin, so from now on, Wei Xinghai was also one of the top eight masters.
"It's really unthinkable that Wei Lin would lose like this."
"It's normal for me to lose, but Wei Lin has been arrogant and self-conceited over the past year, thinking that his position was stable, now he's lost face."
"In any case, Wei Xinghai's strength is indeed quite strong."
Wei Hong stood below, listening to the discussions of the crowd, and also nodded secretly. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Wei Xinghai suddenly looked at him directly and said loudly: "Wei Hong, dare you come on stage and fight with me?"
