Chapter 8

Si Xueyi's punch displayed a peerless elegance, stunning everyone, even Gu Yuxin, who was the least willing to acknowledge him, was momentarily dumbfounded.

Gu Yuxin swallowed hard, is this guy even human?

The power of that punch was terrifying!

After all, his cultivation was only at the True Essence Realm, while his opponent, Tang Guanyu, was two realms higher.

The wind howled, and the roars of tigers and dragons echoed simultaneously, as if the shadows of a true dragon and a white tiger appeared on either side of Si Xueyi.

How is this possible?

Tang Guanyu's face turned pale, his eyes filled with fear.

Si Xueyi was only at the True Essence Realm, to break through the bottleneck to the True Spirit Realm, and then break through again to reach the True Soul Realm, like him.

To be able to unleash such a terrifying punch at the True Essence Realm, he simply couldn't comprehend it.

The punch was extremely formidable, and even before it was fully released, its power shattered all of his momentum.

The vast Enlightenment Platform seemed small in comparison, and he felt utterly isolated and helpless.

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape.

Under the overwhelming pressure, Tang Guanyu's true essence within him became chaotic and could not gather, his right hand, which held the sword, trembled uncontrollably.

When the punch finally landed, the roars of the tiger and dragon erupted simultaneously, the light from the punch's glow illuminated the heavens and earth.

A deafening explosion followed.

The Enlightenment Platform shook violently, and when the light dissipated, Tang Guanyu was on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Cough, cough!

He kept coughing, spitting out blood with each cough, his clothes were torn and ragged, and his body was covered in wounds.

It was terrible, too terrible!

The Enlightenment Platform fell silent, everyone was shocked by the scene.

Tang Guanyu's Heavenly Water Spear Technique had not even grazed Si Xueyi, let alone injured him.

When Si Xueyi made his move, Tang Guanyu couldn't even block a single punch.

He was a disciple of the Tian Rank at the Canglan Academy!

"How strange, it's just the same Tiger and Dragon Fist, the same move, how can it be so incredibly powerful?"

"It's different. If you look closely, you'll see that sometimes it's the tiger's roar, and sometimes it's the dragon's cry, alternating between the two. Si Xueyi changes them back and forth, combining them with his movements, making it unpredictable."

"The most important thing is, whether it's the tiger's roar or the dragon's cry, he can almost perfectly display them. It's impressive; I've never seen anyone's Tiger and Dragon Fist have such power."

Many inner and outer disciples were baffled, stunned beyond words.

However, some of the Tian Rank disciples saw through the trick and quickly realized that the Tiger and Dragon Fist was not simple, their gazes toward Si Xueyi became much more serious.

As for the many elders of the Canglan Academy, they remained silent, but their shock was even greater than that of the direct disciples.

They saw clearly that Si Xueyi's Tiger and Dragon Fist had almost reached the legendary realm of transformation.

In the final punch, the dragon's cry and the tiger's roar rose simultaneously, and the moment the punch was unleashed, the power of the dragon and tiger completely shattered Tang Guanyu's sword momentum.

"Dean... this guy, is he a monster?"

An elder's voice trembled as he looked at the Dean of the Canglan Academy, his eyes full of shock.

The other elders did not speak, but they shared the same sentiment.

The Heavenly Water Spear Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, but once mastered, its power can reach the peak of Mystic-level martial arts, even surpassing the limits of Mystic-level martial arts.

Tang Guanyu, at just seventeen years old, could cultivate it to perfection, and he could be called a genius.

Yet, such a genius still lost to Si Xueyi, which was hard to believe.

He was one of the youngest Tian Rank disciples!

"Tang Guanyu, how do I look now?"

Si Xueyi stood with his hands behind his back, a handsome smile on his lips, extremely provocative.

Everyone was speechless, this guy was too much, killing and then crushing the spirit.

These words were what Tang Guanyu had said to him before, and now that he had won, he immediately returned them.

"Just so-so." Tang Guanyu knelt on one knee, his face pale, his expression stubborn.

Si Xueyi smiled, "Yes, just so-so, just one punch made you kneel, hehe."

"You!"

Tang Guanyu was instantly furious, "I was just careless."

He tried to struggle to his feet, but another mouthful of blood spewed out, and the sight of him left many direct disciples sighing.

"Do you seem a bit unsatisfied?"

Si Xueyi smiled and said softly.

"Why should I be satisfied?"

Tang Guanyu said in a deep voice, "At the Canglan Academy, who isn't a weapon expert? You defeated me with a fist technique, does that make sense? With this, you want to climb the Mystic Dragon Tower? I doubt anyone will be convinced."

As soon as he said this, murmurs arose from all sides, many people whispering to each other.

There was some truth to his words; at the Canglan Academy, those who entered the Tian Rank were all weapon experts.

The martial arts taught by the Canglan Academy were mainly focused on various weapons, and fist techniques were not highly regarded.

The elders liked Tang Guanyu because of his talent in spear techniques.

Seeing this, Tang Guanyu's confidence grew, and he sneered, "What are you, just a brute? In terms of spear technique talent, you're not even worthy to carry my shoes."

"Is that so? Want to climb the Mystic Dragon Tower? Afraid of being laughed at?"

Si Xueyi muttered, "Actually, in the final punch, I used some techniques from spear techniques."

"Huh."

Tang Guanyu's eyes flashed with a mocking look, and he coldly laughed, "You're also worthy to talk about spear techniques? I'm only seventeen, and I've cultivated the Heavenly Water Spear Technique to perfection. Si Xueyi, what do you have to compare with me!"

"You're right, just a brute, not worthy to climb the Seven Extremes Tower!"

"Winning with a fist technique is a deviation. If you have the skills, win Tang Guanyu in spear techniques."

"Brother Tang is a spear technique genius!"

Those who were dissatisfied with Si Xueyi immediately stood up to support Tang Guanyu.

It didn't make much sense, but they really didn't want Si Xueyi to get the Mystic Dragon Tower slot, so they spoke up in support.

"Win is win, lose is lose. Being defeated by a fist technique is even more embarrassing. Why insist on comparing spear technique talent!"

At a critical moment, Feng Yueyu spoke up.

The surrounding voices immediately quieted down, and everyone looked at Feng Yueyu in surprise. Senior Sister Feng was actually speaking up for Si Xueyi?

Si Xueyi winked at Feng Yueyu and then smiled, "The Heavenly Water Spear Technique, I actually know it."

Tang Guanyu immediately sneered, "Don't pretend here. Even if you know it, you can barely enter the beginner stage. How can you compare with me?"

Si Xueyi's face showed a playful look, and he smiled, "If my Heavenly Water Spear Technique is not worse than yours, what then?"

"I won't say another word." Tang Guanyu said firmly, "If you can't perform it, you'll give up the Mystic Dragon Tower slot. The Canglan Academy doesn't need a brute."

Si Xueyi smiled lazily, "I don't really care if you're convinced or not, but if you insist on sticking out your face, I don't mind giving it a good slap."

Tang Guanyu sneered, "Then show me!"

Spear technique talent was Tang Guanyu's last pride, and he didn't believe that the person in front of him could surpass him.

He knew better than anyone how difficult the Heavenly Water Spear Technique was.

A person who was still at the Later Heaven Realm three days ago couldn't possibly cultivate it to perfection, let alone even enter the beginner stage.

"Fine."

Si Xueyi didn't say much more. He turned and looked around the Enlightenment Platform, then smiled and walked toward an inner rank disciple holding a spear.

"This spear is quite good."

Si Xueyi stared at the spear and smiled.

The inner rank disciple said proudly, "Of course it's good. This spear is a Mystic-level middle-grade treasure, and even Tian Rank disciples only use Mystic-level upper-grade ones."

Si Xueyi smiled, "Great, it's mine now."

The man immediately realized he had been tricked and became anxious, but Si Xueyi didn't care and immediately tried to take it.

He wanted to get angry, but when he saw Si Xueyi smiling at him, he immediately backed down.

"Let him borrow it. If there's any damage, I'll give you a new one."

Feng Yueyu walked over, and with her words, the dispute was instantly resolved.

Si Xueyi smiled, "Senior Sister is generous."

Feng Yueyu's beautiful eyes showed surprise. She paused for a moment before saying, "Si Xueyi, you don't need to compete with him in the Heavenly Water Spear Technique. Winning is winning."

Si Xueyi's handsome face showed a carefree smile, and he raised his eyes, "Senior Sister, don't you believe me? I really know the Heavenly Water Spear Technique."

His eyes were clear and deep, charming, and his smile made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze, incredibly beautiful.

Feng Yueyu was unmoved, even a bit angry.

She had given him the Heavenly Water Spear Technique three days ago, and she knew better than anyone that it was impossible to cultivate it to perfection in just three days.

"Si Xueyi, stop fooling around. Don't pay attention to his nagging. Stabilize your cultivation first, and come back to challenge the tower another day." Feng Yueyu said angrily.

Si Xueyi clearly had a stroke of luck and no longer needed to worry about being forced out, so there was no need to challenge the tower now.

Si Xueyi smiled helplessly, "Not going to the Mystic Dragon Tower, I will really die. I never lie, why doesn't Senior Sister believe me?"

Feng Yueyu's face darkened, her chest rising slightly. She had good intentions, why didn't he understand?

"How about this, let's make a bet?" Si Xueyi smiled, "If I win, you let me kiss you."

Feng Yueyu coldly laughed, "Do you want to die?"

"You don't believe me anyway, why not bet?" Si Xueyi smiled.

Feng Yueyu's expression changed, "What if you lose?"

Si Xueyi looked at the silver-haired, cute Duanmu Xi and smiled, "Then let Duanmu Xi kiss me."

Feng Yueyu was instantly furious, her face cold, and she said coldly, "You pervert, dreaming of something so nice."

To everyone's surprise, Duanmu Xi's face turned red, and she shyly lowered her head, saying, "Senior Sister, I can..."

Her face was flushed, and she sounded particularly shy.

Si Xueyi laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's settled then."

After saying that, without waiting for Feng Yueyu to react, he took the borrowed spear and walked toward Tang Guanyu.

"Senior Brother Qin, go for it!"

Duanmu Xi clenched her small fists.

Feng Yueyu turned and glared at her, angry, "You brat, you're too indulgent with him. This guy is a pervert and a troublemaker."

"Hehe, but Senior Sister, Senior Brother is really handsome." Duanmu Xi said admiringly, her eyes sparkling.

Feng Yueyu said coldly, "This man, besides being handsome, is good for nothing."

Despite her words, Feng Yueyu's gaze remained on Si Xueyi.

On the Enlightenment Platform, everyone, whether elders or students of different levels, looked at Si Xueyi in amazement. Was he really going to perform the Heavenly Water Spear Technique?

This was impossible!

The Heavenly Water Spear Technique was extremely difficult to cultivate, and three days ago, Si Xueyi was still at the Later Heaven Realm, with no chance to cultivate it.

At most, he had only three days to cultivate.

"This guy is crazy. How could he possibly master the Heavenly Water Spear Technique in just three days, let alone to perfection?"

Gu Yuxin said in shock.

Not just him, everyone thought the same.

"He must just be pretending." Gu Yuxin couldn't accept it and could only comfort himself this way.

Tang Guanyu's face also changed. He didn't believe the other party could master the Heavenly Water Spear Technique, but now it seemed the other party was serious.

For some reason, he felt a strange sense of tension.

If Si Xueyi really knew the Heavenly Water Spear Technique, his last pride would be shattered.

"Scared?"

Si Xueyi stared at the other party and smiled.

"Scared? I'm scared of you? In terms of spear technique talent, you're not even worthy to carry my shoes. I'm not afraid of you!" Tang Guanyu was instantly angry, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat.

Si Xueyi's lips curled in disdain, and he smiled, "You have the nerve to talk about talent in front of me? As you wish, I'll show you what a true genius is!"

As he spoke, Si Xueyi swung the spear in his hand, a rare treasure.

"First spear, Endless Cloud Sea."

On the Enlightenment Platform, Si Xueyi's wrist flicked, and forty-nine spear shadows bloomed.

So fast!

Everyone was shocked, their faces changing dramatically.

Before they could recover from their shock, Si Xueyi flicked his wrist, and the shadows were instantly scattered, revealing a cloud sea that seemed real.

Amidst the swirling clouds, the handsome Si Xueyi looked like a celestial being wandering through the cloud sea.

"This..."

Everyone on the Enlightenment Platform, including the elders, was so surprised that their jaws almost dropped, their hearts pounding wildly.

"Peak Perfection!"

"Head, this... how is this possible!"

Not only did Si Xueyi know this spear technique, but he had cultivated it to the peak of perfection. All the elders found it hard to accept this scene.

Second spear, Heavenly Water Asking the Moon.

The clouds dispersed, and the spear in Si Xueyi's hand glowed, as if he had transformed into the moon rising high.

Again, peak perfection!

But it wasn't over. Si Xueyi turned his head and smiled, and the third spear, Heavenly Heart Picking the Moon.

The remaining spear momentum below gathered into a circle under the tip of the spear, and the cloud on the ground was gently lifted.

Bang!

A full moon was lifted by Si Xueyi and struck out, causing the entire Enlightenment Platform to shake violently.

Fourth spear, Fog Rising, Clouds Deepening!

Fifth spear, Heavenly Water Vast!

Sixth spear, Heavenly Heart Leisurely!

Seventh spear, Above the White Clouds!

...

As the Heavenly Water Spear Technique was performed, Si Xueyi's spear momentum surged uncontrollably, and everyone was stunned.

Buzz!

When the final spear was completed, a resounding sound echoed through the heavens and earth, and a sharp aura rose from Si Xueyi, reverberating through the clouds.

In his white clothes and black hair, with bright eyes and white teeth, the young man was incredibly handsome.

His elegance stunned everyone, leaving a strong impression, their hearts pounding wildly.

Si Xueyi stared at the limp Tang Guanyu and smiled, "I was the main character nine hundred years ago. Comparing talent with me? You're not even worth a mention."
