Chapter 3: A Single Move Defeat.

"Huh, someone wants to challenge for the position of Guard Captain, quite bold."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers who were about to disperse immediately stopped in their tracks, it seemed there was going to be more entertainment.

More than a dozen young disciples of the Du family also turned to stay on the stage, exchanging glances and smiling. Since someone wanted to seek punishment, they naturally would not be polite.

Du Qi was also quite surprised, slightly raising his head and his gaze landing on the black-robed figure. He had noticed this person's performance on the stage earlier; this person should have formally practiced martial arts, but his martial veins were not high, and his cultivation was only at the Second Level of the Later Heaven stage. However, among these twenty people, he was absolutely one of the top.

"Do you really want to challenge for the position of Guard Captain? Having ambition is a good thing, but the position of Guard Captain is not easy to challenge."

Du Qi seemed to have taken some interest in the black-robed figure. The youngest disciples in the front courtyard were now all at the Fourth Level of the Later Heaven stage, approaching the Fifth Level. Although this person was one of the top among them, to fight evenly or defeat those younger disciples would be a miracle.

The black-robed figure trembled slightly under Du Qi's无形气势, not daring to look directly, but thinking of the benefits of becoming the Du family's Guard Captain, and having a distant relative in the Du family, he was not afraid of offending this deputy commander. He gritted his teeth and said to Du Qi again, "Is what the Du family said not to be taken seriously? I must at least be given a chance to try."

"Challenge the Guard Captain."

"The Du family cannot go back on its word, right?"

Some troublemakers in the crowd also started to cheer at the wrong time. For the onlookers, more entertainment was always better.

Du Qi's gaze swept over the crowd around the stage, then looked at the black-robed figure, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "If so, which Du family young master or miss do you want to challenge?"

The black-robed figure swallowed his saliva, his gaze slowly scanning the dozen or so young men and women who had been eyeing him like tigers. Finally, he suddenly turned, his gaze directly landing on a purple-robed young man in the crowd. "He should also be a young master of the Du family, right?"

"Du Shaofu."

Following the black-robed figure's pointer, everyone's gaze finally landed on the purple-robed young man. The Du family members' expressions became peculiar; who else could this guy be but Du Shaofu? No one knew when this fool had arrived, and he usually never showed up at such events.

The densely packed onlookers around the stage also turned their attention to Du Shaofu, only then realizing that the Du family's fool of a young master was right there, and no one had noticed him.

Du Qi, looking at Du Shaofu who had arrived at some point, also had a slight twitch on his face, then frowned and said to the black-robed figure, "Yes, that is Young Master Du Shaofu, naturally a young master of our Du family."

"Then there's no mistake. I want to challenge this young master of the Du family today. If I win, I should be able to become the Guard Captain, right?"

The black-robed figure chuckled, his gaze smiling at Du Shaofu. He was very familiar with the Du family's situation and had just seen the famous Du Shaofu in the crowd. This was like divine assistance, and he could not let it go.

Although challenging a fool was a bit despicable, thinking of the benefits of becoming the Guard Captain, even if he was called despicable, he would accept it. Being the Guard Captain was the most important thing.

"What..."

"Challenging Du Shaofu, that fool... This guy is too despicable."

All the Du family members present immediately had their eyes light up. Who didn't know that Du Shaofu was unable to cultivate and was a fool? Seeing his somewhat dazed appearance, he was undoubtedly a genuine fool.

"Black-robed figure challenging Du Shaofu, this guy is really despicable, but the Du family is in a bind, with no way to speak out."

"The Du family people are afraid, right? Just let Black-robed figure become the Guard Captain."

"Black-robed figure, good job, take down the Du family's young master, ha ha..."

The densely packed onlookers also had their gazes become peculiar. The fool of a young master was well-known throughout the entire Stone City.

The troublemakers in the crowd hid in the corners and started to cheer again. They didn't dare to openly provoke the Du family.

"This fool, coming out today is a disaster for the entire Du family."

"What can we do now?"

The Du family members all cursed inwardly. Du Shaofu, no matter what, was still a young master of the Du family. If he was knocked down by a guard in one move, the Du family's face would be greatly lost.

Losing the benefits was a small matter, but the Du family's reputation could not be tarnished.

Du Qi's face twitched. Who would have thought this person would despicably challenge Du Shaofu? He was in charge of the guard recruitment today. If the Du family's reputation was affected in any way, he would be in trouble as the deputy commander.

"Who called me? Is someone looking for me?"

Du Shaofu, who had been watching the commotion on the stage, was about to leave when he suddenly heard his name being called. Everyone's gaze was on him, and he followed their gazes to the stage.

Amidst the loud cheering and peculiar gazes, the black-robed figure's gaze secretly scanned the Du family crowd, seeing his distant relative among them, and his courage grew.

"Young Master of the Du family, please come to the stage for a match."

The black-robed figure, looking at Du Shaofu below the stage, bowed and said loudly, but his eyes did not show the same respect as the other Du family members, instead, there was a hint of mockery.

"Do you want to challenge me?"

Du Shaofu was taken aback, then slightly raised his head, his clear eyes flickering, looking at the black-robed figure on the stage, and smiled slightly. "That's not good. Why don't you challenge the weakest of my cousins first and see if you have a chance?"

"Huh, this fool is actually speaking today. Is he really a fool or just pretending?"

"This guy doesn't seem too foolish."

"This fool is actually speaking today."

Hearing Du Shaofu's words, some of the Du family members' gazes became surprised.

The black-robed figure, looking at Du Shaofu, hearing the cheers around him, grew bolder. He knew from his distant relative that this young master, who could not cultivate, had no status in the clan. Offending him was nothing to fear. He looked at Du Shaofu and laughed loudly, "Is the great young master of the Du family afraid to fight me? If so, can I directly become the Guard Captain?"

"The Du family's young master is afraid to go on the stage."

"The great Du family is just like this."

The cheering voices around grew more brazen, and some chaos appeared in the crowd.

"Young Master of the Du family, are you really afraid to fight? If so, just let me become the Guard Captain, ha ha." The black-robed figure laughed, becoming more confident. Being able to make a Du family young master so embarrassed in front of him, he was probably the first in Stone City. This was a great moment for him.

"Since you insist, I will grant your wish."

A calm voice came from Du Shaofu's mouth. In the midst of many peculiar and complex gazes, Du Shaofu's foot touched the ground, and two streams of green energy burst out from around his heels. He leaped up and appeared in front of the black-robed figure on the stage amidst the astonished gasps of the crowd, causing the stage to shake.

"Impossible, how could..."

Seeing Du Shaofu suddenly appear in front of him, the black-robed figure's face turned shocked and呆滞. Was this Du family young master, who was said to be both useless and foolish, really like that?

Du Shaofu appeared in front of the black-robed figure, his expression unchanged, standing with his hands behind his back, his purple robe slightly moving, his clear eyes looking at the stunned black-robed figure and said lightly, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

"Impossible, I must be seeing things."

The black-robed figure, hearing this, finally came to his senses. He must have been seeing things just now. Was he afraid of a fool? He gritted his teeth, his body slightly sinking, his fingers clenched into a fist, and a strong wind blew from his fist. Three blurry, semi-transparent fist shadows enveloped Du Shaofu.

In a short moment, the three blurry fist shadows appeared in front of Du Shaofu, converging into one point, and a punch aimed at Du Shaofu's chest.

"Break!"

Suddenly, as the fist reached Du Shaofu's chest, a loud shout came from Du Shaofu's mouth. The shout was like a dragon's roar, like an elephant's cry, and a lightning-like light flashed in his clear eyes. His purple robe fluttered, and the stage trembled again. Cracks spread out from where Du Shaofu's feet were.

"Crack!"

All the gazes were still stunned by the sudden shout, including the black-robed figure himself. With a low,闷沉的闷响, a sound of bones breaking could be heard. The crowd saw a tall figure fly off the stage like a broken kite, landing heavily below the stage.

On the stage, Du Shaofu still stood with his hands behind his back, the wind making his purple robe flutter, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

"Spit!"

The black-robed figure, after being thrown off the stage, struggled to stand up, holding his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood. It seemed his ribs were broken. He looked at the slender, tall purple-robed young man on the stage, his eyes full of shock.

Few people saw clearly, but everyone saw that the Du family's fool of a young master did not even make a move. With just a shout, the black-robed figure was thrown off the stage. The skill was so amazing that it was hard to believe even when seen with their own eyes.

The cheering around the stage suddenly stopped, and the onlookers were stunned, their jaws hanging open. For those who had been cheering and mocking, it was like a slap in the face. Was this really a young master who could not cultivate and was a fool?

The faces of the Du family members who had been speaking out of turn were now red with embarrassment.

"I'll leave now. You continue."

On the stage, Du Shaofu did not look at the black-robed figure below the stage again. He looked at Du Qi, who was nearby, and said, "I'll go back now," then shook his purple robe and walked away calmly.

"Boom!"

As Du Shaofu left, the stage trembled, and from where he had stood, cracks spread out, and the center of the stage collapsed, forming a large hole. The crowd around the stage stepped back.

"Swallow..."

The onlookers around the stage looked at each other in shock, many of them swallowing hard.
