Chapter 18: Teasing

Below the Battle Stage, both the new and old students could feel a bit of a chill, but they simply loved watching this kind of tit-for-tat confrontation; this was what made it exciting.

“Qin Yefeng’s strength is too great. Only someone at the Xiantian Realm can put up a fight against him,” an Instructor on the Chief Seats said slowly, looking at the two confronting each other on the stage.

“That’s right. This Liu Ying is considered an outstanding individual in the Holy Sun Academy. Using him to test Qin Yefeng couldn’t be more appropriate,” another Instructor couldn’t help but add.

“But as far as I know, Liu Ying is at the Peak of the Early Xiantian Realm and is about to break through to the Mid Xiantian Realm. He has honed those High-grade Martial Arts Techniques and Movement Techniques to a certain degree. Plus, he is older than Qin Yefeng and has richer practical combat experience. He should be the one to achieve victory.”

This Instructor on the Chief Seats knew Liu Ying, after all, so his words naturally leaned in his favor.

The White-haired Elder merely smiled faintly upon hearing this and said slowly, “Although that fellow Liu Ying is strong, Qin Yefeng is equally not to be underestimated. Just you wait and see!”

Although the White-haired Elder also acknowledged Liu Ying’s strength, he still had a lot of confidence in Qin Yefeng, who was different from ordinary people, believing that he could achieve the final victory.

“In that case, I will wait and see,” this Instructor also chuckled softly.

And in the row below the Chief Seats, Qin Xue also heard the White-haired Elder’s words. A vicious look appeared on her face, and a mocking arc lifted the corners of her mouth as she thought to herself, “Idiotic nonsense!”

Meanwhile, above the Chief Seats, in the central position sat the Vice Dean of the Holy Sun Academy. Staring at the two on the stage, he finally straightened his body, no longer looking so listless, and a hint of interest slowly surfaced at the corner of his mouth.

“It seems the good show is about to begin.”

The White-haired Elder also nodded and then stood up. After his gaze swept around, it paused on the bodies of Qin Yefeng and Liu Ying for a moment.

“The battle for the Seeded Spot, the Challenge and Defend the Arena begins now!” The White-haired Elder gently waved his arm down.

Boom!

Just as the White-haired Elder’s voice fell, two tyrannical bursts of Spiritual Power surged out!

Almost at the exact same time, they erupted on the Battle Stage, stirring up gusts of hurricane-force winds.

Both of them stared coldly at each other. The vigorous Spiritual Power covering their bodies intertwined at this moment, carrying boundless fighting intent.

Swish!

Two figures violently shot forward at this very moment. A black shadow, as if piercing through the resistance of the air, charged straight ahead.

A green shadow on the stage continuously shifted its position as it dashed out. In just a few breaths, the two were about to collide head-on.

The impact of these two figures was like two strong, savage war bulls furiously crashing into each other without yielding an inch.

Thud!

At the instant of the collision, the Spiritual Qi on the stage rampaged and swept out, directly cracking a tiny fissure on the hard bluestone slab.

Under the fierce contact, the figures of the two were each knocked back three steps.

With every step Qin Yefeng and Liu Ying took, they left a shallow white mark on the stage.

“Although Liu Ying suppressed his Cultivation to the Houtian Realm, the purity of his Spiritual Power is definitely not something Qin Yefeng can compare to,” an Instructor of the Holy Sun Academy said.

“But in this first clash between Qin Yefeng and Liu Ying, they definitely fought to a draw,” the White-haired Elder countered.

On the Battle Stage.

“You do have some strength.” Liu Ying licked his lips with his tongue, his gaze fixed on Qin Yefeng as if looking at prey.

Immediately after, his eyes turned cold. He stomped his feet on the ground, and green Spiritual Power instantly permeated his body.

The green Spiritual Power coiled around Liu Ying’s body like a green venomous snake. With every step he took as he charged forward, it was as if he was gliding across the ground, leaving a bright smear of green Spiritual Power behind him.

His extreme speed, resembling a bolt of green lightning, drew waves of uproar from below the stage.

“That is… the Spirit Snake Steps of the previous Seeded Contestant Liu Yan. That’s a Low-grade Heaven-level Movement Spiritual Art. How could Liu Ying have learned it?”

Looking at Liu Ying, whose legs were gliding across the ground like a green snake, the White-haired Elder also secretly felt that things were not looking good.

This ghostly green shadow arrived behind Qin Yefeng almost instantly, under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

A palm strike surging with thick Spiritual Power was thrust out. Within the center of the palm, the bright green Spiritual Power instantly dissolved into smoke like venom melting in water, extremely sinister and vicious.

Sizzle!

Just as Liu Ying’s attack was about to reach Qin Yefeng’s back, his figure flashed indifferently, and then that vicious palm landed ruthlessly on Qin Yefeng’s back.

But at this moment, Liu Ying’s offensive seemed illusory, passing directly through his body.

“Phantom Image?”

After his palm strike missed, Liu Ying’s pupils rotated like a snake’s, and then he didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

Immediately after, straightening his body and taking advantage of the explosive momentum, his leg whipped out like the tail of a giant python, sending fierce winds howling!

Boom!

A muffled sound rang out from behind Liu Ying.

Qin Yefeng had appeared behind Liu Ying at some unknown point.

A fist brimming with Golden Flame violently struck out, forcefully clashing against Liu Ying’s sweeping whip kick.

Liu Ying was blasted back a step by the impact.

“Oh, your strength is quite good too,” Liu Ying sneered.

As he spoke, he stomped his legs on the ground. The green Spiritual Power rebounded from the earth like a spider’s web, actually launching him into the air.

High in the air, he raised a fist brimming with green Spiritual Power and ruthlessly smashed it toward Qin Yefeng.

That vigorous Spiritual Power carrying green venom, mixed with fierce winds, enveloped Qin Yefeng like a cloud of green smoke.

Facing Liu Ying’s intense offensive, Qin Yefeng’s figure flipped, tumbling away in the air like soaring clouds.

Just as the green smoke was about to envelop him, the figure within left behind afterimages, dodging away as if impossible to catch.

Seeing Qin Yefeng evade his attack like a swimming fish, Liu Ying said disdainfully, “So your Movement Technique is also quite good.”

Liu Ying’s eyes lit up slightly. With his discernment, he could naturally see clearly that the Movement Technique Qin Yefeng displayed had definitely reached the Mastery Realm.

The White-haired Elder was equally slightly surprised by Qin Yefeng’s Movement Technique.

Because although this Movement Technique was relatively common, those who could reach mastery in it were truly few and far between.

Liu Ying’s powerful offensive bit over like a venomous snake, while Qin Yefeng continuously dodged by relying on the Soaring Cloud Movement Technique he had painstakingly practiced in the Black Water Marsh.

He completely evaded all of Liu Ying’s incoming sinister attacks.

At this moment, Qin Yefeng seemed to be teasing Liu Ying.

The two on the Battle Stage pushed their speed to the absolute limit. This was fine for those powerful students.

But those Junior Students participating in the Holy Sun Academy could only see two blurry figures, one red and one green, rampaging across the stage like two gusts of fierce wind.
