Chapter 37

As a master of the Yuanwu Realm, Chu Yuanba discovered that although Chu Feng was also using a third-stage martial technique, it was far more profound than Xu Tianyi’s technique.

According to his experience, such a martial technique was extremely difficult to cultivate, yet Chu Feng had clearly reached the pinnacle of its cultivation. Therefore, in addition to his shock, he was even more curious about what this martial technique was.

"Grandfather, if I’m not mistaken, the technique Chu Feng used is the most difficult to cultivate among the inner sect techniques of our Azure Dragon Sect, the Illusory Palm," Chu Wei said solemnly.

"What? It’s the most difficult technique to cultivate in the entire inner sect? I didn’t expect this kid to be so powerful!" Chu Yuanba drew a sharp breath.

"It’s not just that, Grandfather. During this inner sect assessment, a fierce person appeared who fought alone against forty ferocious beasts and killed all of them before any of the disciples arrived, taking the first place reward."

"And we speculate that this fierce person is likely Chu Feng," Chu Wei continued.

Hearing Chu Wei’s words, Chu Yuanba’s expression changed again, and he was so surprised that he couldn’t speak. He then turned his gaze to Chu Feng, but his expression had already changed completely.

At this moment, he had an idea that perhaps Chu Feng could really restore the Chu family’s honor.

Before this, he had never thought that the Chu family’s honor would one day depend on this child, after all, Chu Feng was not of the Chu family’s bloodline. But now, Chu Feng was his only hope.

"Swish, swish."

Chu Feng and Xu Tianyi were locked in battle, fighting fiercely. To outsiders, they seemed evenly matched, but Xu Tianyi, who was in the thick of it, was feeling frustrated.

With his strength, using this martial technique not only failed to suppress Chu Feng, but it only resulted in a stalemate.

After several rounds, he was already panting, but Chu Feng’s expression remained unchanged, as if he didn’t know the meaning of fatigue.

"No, this kid is stalling, trying to exhaust my energy." Xu Tianyi felt something was off and thought to himself, "It seems I must end this quickly."

With this thought, Xu Tianyi didn’t hesitate. His technique changed, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, completely altering his presence.

When he attacked again, Chu Feng could feel the battle platform trembling violently, and Xu Tianyi’s fists were covered in a layer of silver, like steel, carrying an aura of invincibility as they came at him head-on.

"Fourth-stage martial technique!"

Seeing the power Xu Tianyi unleashed, everyone’s faces changed. Even Chu Yuanba, whose expression had just calmed, showed a change in his demeanor.

A fourth-stage martial technique was not something ordinary disciples could cultivate. Among so many forces and people in the entire arena, no one could master a fourth-stage martial technique, not even Chu Yuanba.

The reason was simple: those who could cultivate a fourth-stage martial technique were definitely the sect’s key disciples, whose future achievements would not be limited to these small places.

Moreover, not only was it difficult to obtain a fourth-stage martial technique, but the cultivation difficulty was also extremely high. Many people, even if they obtained a fourth-stage martial technique, could not grasp its profound meanings. However, Xu Tianyi, at his age, mastering a fourth-stage martial technique, naturally caused shock.

Although he had not fully unleashed the power of the fourth-stage martial technique, being able to grasp it to this extent already made him a prodigy.

Chu Feng was doomed to lose, this was the consensus of many people. However, they also felt that Chu Feng’s loss was not unjust, not because he was too weak, but because his opponent was too strong.

After all, Chu Feng was still young, and being able to force Xu Tianyi to this extent with his Sixth Rank Spirit Martial strength already demonstrated his talent. If he were the same age as Xu Tianyi, the outcome might still be uncertain.

Therefore, even though everyone felt that Chu Feng was bound to lose, no one had the heart to mock him, because in their hearts, Chu Feng was also a genius.

"Whoosh~"

But at this moment, Chu Feng’s technique also changed. He retracted the palm shadows and instead produced a series of afterimages, dodging Xu Tianyi’s attacks like the wind.

"Zzzzz~"

Then, his body spun, and a whirlwind arose, with flashes of lightning appearing. This momentum was not weaker but stronger than Xu Tianyi’s.

"This is..."

"Heavens, this is a fourth-stage martial technique. Chu Feng actually knows a fourth-stage martial technique."

If Xu Tianyi’s earlier performance had shocked people, then Chu Feng’s current display had driven them to madness.

At the age of fifteen, with Sixth Rank Spirit Martial strength, and mastering a fourth-stage martial technique, this was simply heaven-defying.

However, the most unbelievable part was yet to come...

"Zzzzz"

Chu Feng suddenly delivered a whip kick, accompanied by flashes of lightning, sweeping horizontally towards Xu Tianyi.

"Damn it." Xu Tianyi didn’t dare to hesitate and hurriedly blocked, as he could feel how powerful Chu Feng’s whip kick was.

"Whoosh" But what he didn’t expect was that Chu Feng would swiftly retract his whip kick, change the angle, and kick out again, aiming for his waist.

"Bang"

Everything happened too quickly. Before Xu Tianyi could react, Chu Feng’s kick had already struck his waist with a loud "crack," sending him flying to the side and falling off the battle platform.

"Xu Tianyi" Seeing this, Xu Qiang and others were greatly alarmed and hurriedly went to support him.

"Don’t move," Xu Tianyi shouted in pain, "It’s broken, my waist is broken."

"What?"

"Phew~"

The entire arena was in shock. Xu Tianyi, a disciple of a first-rate sect and a Seventh Rank Spirit Martial youth, had lost, and he had lost to a youth at least two years younger and only at the Sixth Rank Spirit Martial level.

"Clap, clap, clap~~~"

Suddenly, the audience stood up, and thunderous applause filled the air. Some people even cheered, shouting Chu Feng’s name.

People could not control their emotions. A fifteen-year-old youth, with Sixth Rank Spirit Martial strength, mastering a fourth-stage martial technique, and defeating a Seventh Rank Spirit Martial opponent, this was not just a genius; this was a prodigy.

This battle was truly spectacular. Although the final confrontation was just a flash, it still left people feeling exhilarated and excited.

"The Chu family has produced such a prodigy. It seems we must cultivate a good relationship with the Chu family in the future."

Some people had already made up their minds to strengthen their ties with the Chu family, not for any other reason, but because the Chu family had produced a prodigy like Chu Feng.

With such a figure, the rise of the Chu family was just a matter of time. By then, even if they wanted to curry favor, they might not be able to.

Therefore, many people saw the current opportunity and felt that if they could build a good relationship with the Chu family now, they might have a powerful ally in the future.
