Chapter 23: Eighth Rank Martial Technique

On the arena, the matches continued to be fiercely contested.

Those who could secure a top eight ranking in the clan competition were mostly well-known among the younger generation of the Du family. The excitement of each match also caused the onlookers to cheer loudly.

However, at this moment, many people's attention was not on the ongoing matches but on the ones to come.

The results of the next three matches were quickly decided. As expected, Du Qing easily won, while the other two victors struggled greatly.

Originally, according to the schedule, Du Fei and Du Qing would not face each other until after two more matches.

However, the other two victorious young members of the Du family only had the strength of the Sixth Level of Body Tempering. They were very clear that they had no chance of winning and thus decided not to embarrass themselves by stepping onto the stage, choosing instead to abandon the competition.

Thus, the clan competition was down to the final match!

At this point, the atmosphere in the square became even more intense. The final match between these two controversial figures seemed to be the highlight of the Du family's clan competition!

"Thus, the final match of the clan competition begins! The victor will be the chief of this Du family clan competition and will be promoted to a core member of the Du family!" In the VIP seats, even Du Xuanfeng's expression was somewhat solemn. After taking a deep breath, he loudly announced.

As his voice fell, the boiling atmosphere in the arena instantly quieted down. Whether guests or members of the Du family, all eyes were now fixed on the two people in the rest area.

"What? Are you sure you won't concede now? If you concede now, you'll still have a chance to seek revenge in the future! But if you're defeated on the arena, you'll never have a chance to rise again!" Du Qing turned his head to look at Du Fei, his smile half-mocking.

"I'll return those words to you verbatim!" Du Fei's lips twitched slightly as he touched his nose, then replied with a faint smile.

"Stubborn to the death!" Du Qing muttered, then his gaze fell on Xiao Ai, and he leered, his voice audible only to the three of them, "After Du Fei is defeated, you will be mine!"

With a laugh, Du Qing slapped the table beside him and instantly flew onto the arena. This fierce action earned a round of applause from the crowd.

"Idiot..." Du Fei rolled his eyes, sighed slightly, and then, unlike Du Qing, he slowly walked to the edge of the arena and climbed up clumsily.

The contrast between the two was immediately apparent.

Seeing this, Du Qing only laughed lightly, his eyes full of disdain.

Du Fei, however, seemed not to notice, standing there with a strange expression on his face.

"Both of you are inner disciples of the Du family. Although injuries are inevitable during the competition, please stop when you've made your point!" After a brief speech, Du Xuanfeng clapped his hands and shouted, "Begin!"

"Is this the final match? Third Elder, do you think Du Fei or your grandson will win?" Du Zhen Tian smiled and turned to Du Zhen Feng beside him.

Hearing this, Du Zhen Feng pursed his lips but had to answer, "Du Fei is indeed talented, but Qing has been at the Seventh Level of Body Tempering for a year. From any perspective, he has a greater chance of winning."

"Indeed... And if I'm not mistaken, Third Elder, you personally taught Du Qing the Eighth Rank Martial Technique, the Great Sorrow Hand? In contrast, Du Fei hasn't even visited the Martial Arts Pavilion much, let alone been taught. I think if Du Qing uses the Great Sorrow Hand, Du Fei will have little chance of winning," Du Zhen Tian clapped his hands, his expression calm.

"He actually knows! This old man!" Du Zhen Feng was slightly shocked but only nodded without comment, then narrowed his eyes and focused on the arena.

"Du Fei, don't think you're anything special just because you've advanced to the Seventh Level of Body Tempering. In front of me, you're still trash!"

True Breath surged through his body, and feeling the powerful aura, Du Qing grinned, then suddenly shifted his body, his foot lightly touching the ground as he lunged at Du Fei. As he lunged, his right hand curled, and several streams of air flowed from his fingertips, forming chilling glows!

When he was less than half a meter from Du Fei, Du Qing's body suddenly stiffened, and in an almost impossible instant, he moved from Du Fei's left to his right, his right hand forming a claw and striking down from the air!

"Ninth Rank Martial Technique! Wolf Tooth Claw!"

"You're afraid of my Reverse Fist, aren't you!" Du Fei sneered, his body suddenly leaning back, and at the same time, a faint, mist-like color appeared on his right leg!

Then, with a fierce kick, he aimed at Du Qing's hand claw.

"Lin Yun Step!"

"Bang..."

Kicking Du Qing's hand claw, Du Fei's right hand slammed into the ground, and without hesitation, he slid several meters to the side before standing up again.

On the other hand, Du Qing, not expecting Du Fei to use such a move, was unable to stop himself in time. Although he barely blocked Du Fei's leg strike, the impact still made his chest feel slightly stuffy.

"Lin Yun Step!" Du Qing, a well-informed person, was slightly surprised for a moment, then sneered, "Impressive, I underestimated you. You've actually learned two martial techniques!"

"But so what!"

Du Qing's expression turned cold, and his arm trembled, sending a powerful palm wind like a knife towards Du Fei.

"Eighth Rank Martial Technique! Great Sorrow Hand!"

Looking at the aggressive Du Qing, Du Fei only smiled coldly, his foot slightly bending. A moment later, he stomped his foot and his body retreated like a ghost!

"Eighth Rank Martial Technique, not just you!"

"Void Breaking Flash!"

As the last word fell, Du Fei's body suddenly became several times faster, and his originally retreating form turned into a fierce charge forward. In an almost impossible gap, he broke through Du Qing's palm strike and landed a fierce punch on Du Qing's chest!

"Eighth Rank Martial Technique! How is this possible!" Shock flashed in Du Qing's eyes, and then... "Pfft..."

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and Du Qing's body trembled, flying backward like a dead dog. He then landed with a "thud" at the edge of the arena... At this moment, the entire arena was silent!

"You lost!"

Cold eyes fell on the edge of the arena, and the disdain on the young man's face was evident.

In the extremely quiet square, only this slightly mocking, cold voice echoed in the air, and these words made Du Qing, who was struggling to get up, turn red and then white.

This utterly clean and decisive defeat was something the proud Du Qing could not accept!

"Good! Very good! This boy is a great talent!"

In the VIP seats, Du Zhen Tian was also surprised! To learn three martial techniques in half a month, including the most difficult Eighth Rank Martial Technique, Void Breaking Flash, through self-study! Such talent was rare in the world!

Even Du Han, hailed as the best of the younger generation of the Du family, seemed somewhat overshadowed by Du Fei.

"How is this possible... Void Breaking Flash! Even just the first flash, but..." Du Zhen Feng's mouth gaped open, revealing yellow teeth, as if he could fit an egg in his mouth.

On the other side, Du Qian, who had been cold, also showed a hint of surprise, muttering after a moment, "I deliberately chose the most difficult Eighth Rank Martial Technique... and he mastered it in half a month..."

"This Du Fei is truly heaven-defyingly strong!" Gong Sun Hong's face turned bright red, showing extreme surprise. After a moment, she suddenly turned to Du Han, "Big Brother Du Han! You said before that Du Fei's father had betrayed the Du family, so Du Fei isn't really part of your family! If I recruit him to the Gong Sun family, would that be a problem?"

Hearing this, Du Han was speechless, then he shook his head with a bitter smile.

He naturally knew the family's decision. If Du Fei did not perform outstandingly in the clan competition, he would likely be stripped of everything and expelled from the Du family.

But given Du Fei's current achievements, it was unlikely the elders would let him go.

Moreover, even he had not mastered the Void Breaking Flash, yet Du Fei had... If Du Fei stayed in the Du family, his own position would be...

Thinking of this, Du Han's facial muscles twitched, revealing a hint of unease.

On the other side, Lian Zhen's expression was already numb. He muttered to himself, "If I had known, I wouldn't have conflicted with him... It's just a woman... Just a woman... This boy must not be allowed to live!"

On the arena.

Du Fei's slightly calm gaze slowly shifted to the VIP seats, then he smiled faintly, "Is this still not enough to decide the winner?"

Hearing this, Du Xuanfeng's body trembled, and he recovered from his shock. After a moment, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Thus, the winner is..."

However, before he could finish, his expression suddenly changed!

"Du Qing! How dare you!"
