Chapter 98

"Kowtow, present tea, and pay respects."

Fang Zhiqing sat in the main seat.

After Huang Yu kowtowed, he picked up the tea, raised it above his head, and respectfully presented it to Fang Zhiqing.

Fang Zhiqing took the tea, sipped it, and then placed it on the table with a smile.

"The ceremony is complete."

"Alright, you can stand up now. From now on, you are my junior disciple and the successor of Leichi Peak." Fang Zhiqing picked up a jade token from beside her and handed it to Huang Yu, saying, "This is your symbol of identity. Drip blood to recognize the master."

"Wait, Peak Master, please wait a moment."

At this moment, Wang Xiaowei stepped forward.

"Wang Xiaowei, what do you have to say?" Fang Zhiqing frowned, quite dissatisfied with Wang Xiaowei's behavior.

"I am not convinced, Peak Master. With all due respect, why should a mere Human Infant Realm warrior become the successor of Leichi Peak? Why? In terms of cultivation and strength, how is he qualified?" Wang Xiaowei looked straight at Fang Zhiqing and said loudly.

"Enough." Fang Zhiqing slapped the table and stood up, shouting, "Wang Xiaowei, have you finished speaking?"

"Peak Master, you will make us feel disheartened." Wang Xiaowei was not afraid at all, looking straight at Fang Zhiqing.

"Shut up." Fang Zhiqing was truly angry. As the Peak Master of Leichi Peak, she had no authority in his eyes, which made her furious. A Peak Master making a decision should not be questioned by a mere inner disciple. Where was the dignity?

"Huang Yu, if you are a man, stand up and fight me. Don't back down." Wang Xiaowei ignored Fang Zhiqing and shouted at Huang Yu.

"Yes, stand up, stand up."

"Fight, fight."

A few outer disciples who were close to Wang Xiaowei also chimed in.

"Ridiculous." Fang Zhiqing was truly angry. At this moment, he was even trying to make her lose face. Fortunately, it was not a grand occasion, otherwise, the face of Leichi Peak would be completely lost. As a Peak Master, she could not even control a few disciples. Where was the dignity?

At this moment, Huang Yu stepped forward.

"Senior Sister, don't be angry. It's just a small person, not worth your anger. Let me handle it."

"You... Xiao Yu, you... don't overestimate yourself. You are only in the Human Infant Realm, and the gap between you and a Spirit Core Realm warrior is too great. You are not his match." Seeing Huang Yu like this, Fang Zhiqing was moved but also worried, shaking her head repeatedly.

"Ha ha, Senior Sister, there's no need to worry. Such a clown is not worth mentioning. Let them see how discerning you are and whether I am worthy of being the successor of Leichi Peak." Huang Yu laughed loudly, his spirit soaring, his aura rising, showing no sign of worry, extremely confident, as if the opponent was just a chicken or a dog.

"You... be careful then." Seeing Huang Yu's confident demeanor, Fang Zhiqing nodded. If she continued to stop him, it would be detrimental to his future cultivation. In this situation, she could not contradict him.

Seeing Fang Zhiqing's concern for Huang Yu and her complete disregard for him, Wang Xiaowei felt increasingly resentful and unwilling. He had been loyal to Leichi Peak for many years, and other major peaks had tried to recruit him, but he had never agreed. He never expected this outcome. His hatred for Huang Yu had reached its peak, and he wished to tear him to pieces.

He knew that with this choice, there was no turning back. Without Fang Zhiqing's recognition, he would only be hated by her. Whether he won or lost, he could not change her mind. But he could kill Huang Yu. By killing him, he might still change Fang Zhiqing's mind and become the successor of Leichi Peak.

With the thought of killing, Wang Xiaowei's aura rose sharply.

His long sword trembled, and a sword qi shot out, hitting the ground and sparking.

Although Huang Yu appeared completely relaxed, he was extremely alert. Wang Xiaowei was much stronger than the Wang Xiaowei he had killed, a perfected Spirit Core Realm warrior with an extraordinary sword. His aura and sword skills were formidable, which was why he could become the chief inner disciple of Leichi Peak. If it were not for Huang Yu, he would have been the best choice to be the successor of Leichi Peak.

He decided to strike first.

Huang Yu's eyes narrowed.

"Thunder Dragon's Fury, Thunder Dragon's Dance."

He swung his long sword, and sword qi condensed into thunder dragons, dancing wildly in the air, rushing toward Wang Xiaowei, ready to tear him apart.

Huang Yu's move amazed everyone.

"This Huang Yu is so powerful. This aura is definitely stronger than an average Spirit Core Realm warrior. No wonder he dared to accept the challenge."

"Good move." Wang Xiaowei was shocked. This kid was so strong. A mere Human Infant Realm warrior could unleash such a terrifying sword technique.

No wonder Fang Zhiqing had taken him as a disciple and made him the successor of Leichi Peak. He indeed had the skills.

However, the gap in realms was insurmountable. He was at the peak of the Spirit Core Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

The gap between the Human Infant Realm and the Thunder Tribulation Realm was too great.

"One-Character Thunder Sword, kill."

Wang Xiaowei shouted, and his long sword shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Fast.

Fast.

Fast.

It was so fast that it was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

The air was torn apart.

A sound like tearing fabric.

"Kill."

Purple dragons danced wildly, and a terrifying lightning sword struck.

"Boom."

Terrorizing qi spread out, the wind blew, and tables and chairs were thrown and shattered by the terrifying qi.

No one expected these two to be so powerful.

Fang Zhiqing was also surprised. She knew Wang Xiaowei's strength very well. He could reach the Thunder Tribulation Realm within a year. Without Huang Yu's existence, Wang Xiaowei would have been the best choice to be the successor of Leichi Peak. However, because of Huang Yu and his Thunder Saint Body, which was irreplaceable, the best constitution for lightning attributes, a legendary constitution.

His growth speed was astonishing.

Although she knew Huang Yu was strong, she did not expect him to be so powerful, able to match Wang Xiaowei.

It was completely unexpected.

After all, he was only in the Human Infant Realm, and the gap was significant.

Could the Thunder Saint Body really be that terrifying?

However, regardless, Leichi Peak was truly rising.

After one strike.

Huang Yu retreated several steps.

Wang Xiaowei only swayed slightly.

The gap in strength was evident.

Huang Yu was only in the Human Infant Realm. Although he could temporarily resist, he lacked the strength to sustain it without powerful true essence to support him.

Huang Yu was clear about his own strength. His Thunder Dragon Technique was powerful, and the Purple Extreme Sword enhanced it, allowing him to fight Wang Xiaowei to a draw. However, he was at a disadvantage. His true essence was not as deep as Wang Xiaowei's, which was a fatal weakness.

He could not drag it out.

He had to end it quickly.

A purple light flashed in Huang Yu's eyes.

"Mountain-like Sword Momentum, crush everything."

Terrorizing sword momentum instantly crushed down, like a towering mountain, ready to crush everything, suppressing and overwhelming.

"Sword Momentum, it's actually Sword Momentum?"

"Terrifying."

"How is this possible?"

"Damn, Sword Momentum, how is this possible? How could he cultivate Sword Momentum?" Wang Xiaowei was unsettled. Sword Momentum, the opponent had cultivated Sword Momentum. Despite being only in the Human Infant Realm, he had cultivated such terrifying Sword Momentum, which immediately put immense pressure on Wang Xiaowei, completely suppressing his strength.

"Break, break it." Wang Xiaowei refused to accept defeat, shouting in his heart.

His eyes widened, and his veins bulged.

His long sword drew a shining sword light, like a purple moon.

"Thunder Meteor, Crescent Moon."

"Kill."

This crescent moon was terrifying, extremely terrifying. He had used all his strength to break through the sword momentum, shattering everything.

"Sword Momentum, so what? Break it. I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I won't lose." Wang Xiaowei shouted madly.

"Crack, crack."

Huang Yu's feet broke the ground.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Thunder Meteor, Crescent Moon.

What a terrifying move, what a terrifying sword intent!

The sword momentum was broken.

His strongest move, his strongest sword momentum, his trump card, was broken.

Huang Yu could not hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face turned pale, and he swayed.

Wang Xiaowei was not much better. This move had exhausted all his strength.

"Not dead, not dead, why not dead?" Wang Xiaowei went mad, seeing Huang Yu still alive.

This sword, even a Thunder Tribulation Realm warrior would be severely injured. How could a mere Human Infant Realm warrior survive?

"Why are you not dead? I will kill you, kill you."

His eyes turned red, and Wang Xiaowei, like a madman, swung his sword wildly, his steps chaotic but incredibly fast, rushing toward Huang Yu.

"Damn."

At this moment, his strength was also exhausted. Seeing Wang Xiaowei rushing over, Huang Yu cursed.

Right, sword qi, he still had sword qi.

Golden sword qi.

Although he had not fully mastered it.

But at this moment, he could not afford to be picky.

He had to try.

"Golden sword qi, break it."

He opened his mouth, and a golden sword qi shot out.

It seemed slow but was actually fast.

The golden sword qi was not large, only the size of a thumb.

With a golden tail, it shot toward Wang Xiaowei.

In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Wang Xiaowei.

Retreat, Wang Xiaowei sensed the danger, the terror, and knew he had to retreat.

But it was too late.

Could the golden sword qi, left by Gui Wutian, be so easily avoided?

The sword qi entered his body.

A small hole, the size of a thumb, appeared in Wang Xiaowei's chest.

Blood spurted out.

Wang Xiaowei, defeated!
