Chapter 44

The wind howled around, and Xu Wuzhou, with his tall and slender figure, stood there with his clothes fluttering, looking exceptionally spirited.

The young women in the audience felt that Xu Wuzhou was incredibly handsome at this moment, and many had forgotten his past reputation.

"Is it true that loving someone makes you particularly humble?"

Suddenly, a woman in the crowd said softly.

"What's wrong?"

Someone asked her.

"Look at him, enduring all kinds of insults and ridicule, even becoming a son-in-law by marriage. But he is clearly very powerful. Why does he still hide?

Because he loves so humbly, giving up his dignity and self for Qin Qingmou.

His silence and sudden rise are to prove that he is the best.

Otherwise, why would he care so much about the title of First Scholar?

Suddenly, I feel so heartbroken for him, and I really like him."

A group of women pondered, thinking about the various humiliations Xu Wuzhou had endured. One of them murmured, "This might be what he meant by 'If love could be controlled, it would not be love.' I envy Qin Qingmou so much.

If only I could be in her place!"

Qin Qingmou, standing nearby, also heard these comments. She looked at the stage with a complex expression: Are these women's guesses correct?

Is he really doing all this for me?

Xu Wuzhou, of course, had no idea that the young women below had already concocted a heart-wrenching love story for him. At this moment, he was intently watching Xie Linyuan.

Over these days, he had used up only a little over a hundred drops of the black bowl liquid to reach the mastery of a third-grade combat technique.

He originally thought that this would allow him to suppress the innate realm, but the innate realm was much stronger than he had imagined. He had unleashed nine consecutive strikes, each one equivalent to his full power, and the opponent had blocked every one.

"Again!"

Xu Wuzhou looked at Xie Linyuan, and the long sword in his hand burst with blood energy.

Xie Linyuan's face was dark; he could not imagine that Xu Wuzhou was so powerful.

Not only was his strength unlike that of someone in the acquired realm, but he had also mastered a third-grade combat technique.

"Do you think this can defeat me?

The innate realm is the innate realm; you can never defeat me!"

Xie Linyuan said coldly.

"Wrong! Defeating you is meaningless; what I want to do is kill you."

Xu Wuzhou laughed loudly and decisively attacked. The long sword unleashed explosive power, glowing as it slashed out, creating a series of sonic booms.

"You want to kill me? Dream on."

Xie Linyuan spoke, stepping back. As the long sword approached, he countered with his dagger, which was both cunning and fierce.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Power erupted continuously on the stone platform, causing it to crack. The two figures moved like ghosts, clashing and dodging in the surging energy.

In a short time, they had exchanged blows over a dozen times.

Xie Linyuan was shocked; during this period, he had held nothing back, displaying his strongest killing moves. If it were any other person in the acquired realm, they would have been killed long ago.

But Xu Wuzhou had endured.

Moreover, the power displayed by the opponent made his blood boil.

Sometimes, he was almost hit by the long sword, facing one crisis after another.

The battle on the platform grew more intense, with debris flying and dust rising, blocking much of the audience's view.

Qin Li stood in one place, clenching his fists, his heart racing with excitement.

"Good, good, good! He is actually so powerful!"

To be able to fight against the innate realm, this was unimaginable, making him one of the top-tier strong in Lin'an City.

Qin Yunjie, standing there with his mouth wide open, looked at Xu Wuzhou as if he had seen a ghost.

Even Qin Qingmou, with her beautiful eyes fixed on the figure on the platform, felt a mix of emotions.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Another clash, and both Xu Wuzhou and Xie Linyuan stepped back several paces, their feet stomping on the stone platform.

At this moment, the large stone platform, unable to withstand the pressure, collapsed with a loud boom, turning into a pile of rubble.

Xu Wuzhou and Xie Linyuan paid no attention to this, their eyes fixed only on each other.

"Xu Wuzhou, you can only fight me by relying on a third-grade combat technique, but the consumption of a third-grade combat technique is very high, right?"

Xie Linyuan said, looking at Xu Wuzhou.

"That's none of your concern!"

Xie Linyuan replied.

"Ha ha ha! You seem to be able to match the innate realm.

But you can't last long. How many more moves can you sustain with such consumption?

I can drag you to your death.

The acquired realm is always the acquired realm."

Xie Linyuan's tone was vicious.

"Enough talk!"

Xu Wuzhou did not respond further and continued his attack.

Damn it, who can't last long?

This is too much! The long sword, with its terrifying momentum, moved swiftly like lightning.

Xie Linyuan was right; using a third-grade combat technique with the strength of the acquired realm was extremely draining.

But was he afraid of the consumption?

"I'll see how long you can last. Today, I'll use your head as a chamber pot."

Xie Linyuan, filled with rage and killing intent, unleashed a spiral force from his dagger, aiming directly at Xu Wuzhou's vital points.

From a distance, Qin Yunjie, stunned by Xu Wuzhou's strength, could not help but ask Qin Li, "Xu Wuzhou... can he be his match?"

Qin Li shook his head and said, "Xie Linyuan is right; the Heaven-Cleaving Slash consumes too much blood energy.

Although he can use it to fight Xie Linyuan, he can't last long."

"Then, if the battle continues, won't he eventually lose?"

Qin Yunjie asked.

Qin Li nodded and was about to head towards the stone platform.

At this moment, the heads of the Mao and Li families stepped forward again and said, "Brother Qin, please stay here and watch the show. Don't go down there yourself."

"Bullying a junior, Li Wangfeng, you are truly accomplished."

Qin Li said coldly to the head of the Li family.

"A person who can fight the innate realm cannot be considered a junior.

But Brother Qin, you are truly cunning. I wonder why you insisted on marrying your daughter to a waste, perhaps you knew he was so powerful all along."

Li Wangfeng said.

I know nothing! Qin Li felt extremely aggrieved, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to beat up Xu Wuzhou. This kid clearly doesn't identify with the Qin family, or he wouldn't have kept it a secret from him.

"Ha ha! Brother Qin, your son-in-law is a genius, but he is too arrogant.

The innate realm is not something he can fight. He might really end up using his head as a chamber pot today."

Li Wangfeng laughed, looking at the battle. Everyone could see Xu Wuzhou's weakness, and this battle had no suspense.

In the arena, the two men's struggle grew even more intense, with a series of loud explosions.

The stone platform had already turned into a pile of rubble.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Xu Wuzhou used the Heaven-Cleaving Slash again, leaving bloody marks in the air, showing his overwhelming power.

At this moment, Xu Wuzhou's breathing was heavy, and his face was pale, as if he lacked blood energy.

"Can't hold on anymore, can you?"

Xie Linyuan's expression was vicious and cold, "How many more times can you use it?"

As he spoke, his attacks intensified.

Xie Linyuan was still cautious, fearing that Xu Wuzhou was feigning weakness.

Despite the fact that Xu Wuzhou's blood energy consumption was beyond his imagination, and he believed it was impossible for someone in the acquired realm to have such blood energy, he remained cautious.

Bang! The dagger stabbed directly at Xu Wuzhou, who sidestepped to avoid it.

This made Xie Linyuan's pupils constrict, his face twisted with viciousness. This kid had been attacking fiercely, but now he was dodging, indicating that he was truly at the end of his strength.

He can't let him escape; he must pin him down and kill him.

"Xu Wuzhou, it's about time. You can die now."

Xie Linyuan unleashed his full power, the dagger gleaming with a cold, sharp light, moving swiftly and carrying a terrifying sharpness, aiming directly at Xu Wuzhou's vital heart area.
