Xiaosheng stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter given to him by his mother.

Amidst the cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

The Evening Light Residual Radiance Thousand Illusions Palm.

A martial art passed down by the Great Sun Holy Sect, it is listed alongside the Central Heaven Divine Palm as one of the Seven Great Sun Techniques.

It is a rare martial art in the Great Sun Holy Sect known for its intricate techniques.

Xiaosheng had immersed himself in this martial art for many years and had deeply grasped its essence.

Even many of his senior fellow disciples who were more powerful than him did not have as deep an understanding of this martial art.

Under Xiaosheng's aura, the puppet seemed to come alive, vividly performing the intricate techniques of this martial art.

"Even when manipulating a puppet, it's like this. What would it be like if Xiaosheng himself were to use it?"

The Guangcheng Mountain disciples watching the battle all felt a bitter taste in their mouths, and their palms began to sweat.

Yan Zhege did not look at the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet but focused on Xiaosheng's hands that were manipulating the puppet.

Facing the fierce enemy, Mr. Dong's puppet did not hesitate and slashed out with a single strike!

In the eyes of the onlookers, the originally stiff puppet seemed to transform into a majestic dragon, soaring into the sky, breaking through the myriad illusions created by the evening light.

A green glow burst forth, like a true dragon shaking off its scales, dominating the heavens and earth.

All the illusions were shattered, like fleeting dreams.

Although Mr. Dong's wooden weapon was a sword, Yan Zhege used it as a sword, not bound by its form, and the Sword Technique of the Hidden Green Dragon was still performed to perfection, neutralizing Xiaosheng's Evening Light Residual Radiance Thousand Illusions Palm.

The Guangcheng Mountain disciples immediately cheered in unison.

However, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Xiaosheng's mouth.

"Do you think I am like Chao Yuanlong, a clumsy ox with only a few brute strengths?"

As he spoke, Xiaosheng's manipulation of the puppet became even more intricate, fully displaying the various exquisite techniques of the Evening Light Residual Radiance Thousand Illusions Palm.

Under the aura, the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet was enveloped in a faint glow, like the residual light of the setting sun, once again enveloping Mr. Dong.

This time, the illusions were not only beautiful and unpredictable, with countless changes, but also filled with a sense of despair.

The sun sets and the earth is about to enter the darkness of night, with only the last ray of twilight remaining on the horizon.

No matter how people try to retain it, no matter how reluctant they are, it is all in vain.

What is to come will inevitably come!

At this moment, the deeper martial art essence of the Evening Light Residual Radiance Thousand Illusions Palm was fully displayed by Xiaosheng.

The twilight glow of the setting sun was like a cage of despair, enveloping Mr. Dong's puppet.

Yan Zhege's Hidden Green Dragon sword technique soared into the sky, majestic and unique.

But at this moment, he could only watch the sun set, unable to change the natural course of events.

The green sword glow instantly dimmed, the sunlight became hazy, and the onlookers saw only the sudden darkness that swallowed both puppets.

Xiaosheng laughed, "What is destined to fall will inevitably fall."

"Recalling and mourning is just in vain!"

He shook his aura, and the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet's palms struck at the vital points of Mr. Dong's puppet's chest and abdomen!

"Ha ha..." Yan Zhege watched this scene, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, Mr. Dong's puppet's body suddenly twisted, and his wrist flicked!

The blade of the wooden sword retracted, and the puppet's body curled up.

Originally sharp and piercing, it suddenly became unremarkable.

It was like sheathing a sword, or like a true dragon soaring in the sky, diving into the clouds.

The Hidden Green Dragon, the Cloud Dragon Concealed Sword Technique!

Xiaosheng's smile vanished, and a sense of unease immediately rose in his heart.

Uncomfortable, uneasy, like a thorn in his back!

Yan Zhege manipulated Mr. Dong's puppet to use the Concealed Sword Technique, and in that instant, Xiaosheng felt as if his opponent had disappeared from before him.

He was clearly still there, but his sure strike missed!

"Trivial tricks, clownish antics!" Xiaosheng roared, his rough voice even sounding somewhat shrill.

He manipulated the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet, forcibly stopping his palm strike, holding it back, and carefully sensing the presence of his opponent.

Just as he caught a faint trace, Mr. Dong's body suddenly expanded!

Like a cloud mass struck by a thunderbolt, a fierce sword edge burst forth, aiming directly at the Great Sun Holy Man.

Like a dragon diving into the clouds and suddenly thrusting its head out!

Similar to the feigned retreat and sudden attack in secular battle arts, catching the enemy off guard.

Xiaosheng sneered, and his held-back palm strike also burst forth, meeting Yan Zhege's attack head-on.

"This time, I've got you!"

But as he thought this, he was startled to see that Yan Zhege's originally sky-piercing sword technique suddenly retracted and disappeared without a trace!

Another Concealed Sword Technique!

The Cloud Dragon Concealed Sword Technique, blending reality and illusion, combining movement and stillness, like a dragon hiding its head in the clouds, invisible and without warning!

Xiaosheng's Evening Light Residual Radiance Thousand Illusions Palm completely missed!

And in the next moment, a blazing green sword glow lit up, sweeping across the sky, tearing through the night, and bringing light back to the earth!

"The sun sets, but it will rise again. Clouds may temporarily obscure the view, but they will eventually dissipate, and the sky will be clear again."

Yan Zhege said with a gentle laugh, using the sword technique with a knife, Mr. Dong's blade pointed directly at the Great Sun Holy Man's chest!

Xiaosheng's pupils contracted, but it was already too late to manipulate the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet to dodge.

Invisible currents of air with a metallic sheen flowed over the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet.

The aura defense was pushed to the limit, forcing it to block Mr. Dong's strike.

But on Mr. Dong's blade, a sharp green glow flickered, also with a metallic sheen.

At this moment, the wooden sword seemed to transform into a real steel longsword, forcefully breaking through the opponent's aura defense and piercing into the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet's chest!

"Hmph!"

Xiaosheng coldly snorted, slapped his hand, and the aura on the Great Sun Holy Man's puppet suddenly surged!

The Great Sun Holy Man's puppet first shattered, and the wooden sword that had pierced into it also broke.

This force extended to Mr. Dong's puppet, causing its body to shatter as well!

Yan Zhege was not upset, withdrew his hand, and placed both hands behind his back, watching Xiaosheng with a carefree demeanor.

Xiaosheng's gaze was fixed on Yan Zhege, his eyes narrowed to slits, a venomous look in them.

His beard, with his heavy breathing, kept trembling.

Although he did not lose as completely as Chao Yuanlong, who lost everything, including his underwear, Xiaosheng was now feeling both angry and embarrassed, his face burning.

The method of the competition was his choice, but in the end, he was the one who broke the rules first, as if slapping himself in the face.

The seemingly even match, where both sides were destroyed, had already been lost by him before that.

Yan Zhege glanced at Xiaosheng, shrugged, and said, "Actually, I agree with you. People shouldn't live in the past."

"Standing firm in the present and looking to the future is the right way."

Xiaosheng, of course, understood the meaning behind Yan Zhege's words.

Xiaosheng stared at Yan Zhege and slowly nodded, "Yan Zhege, you are good."

"I admit I underestimated you before, but it doesn't matter. We will see, in the days to come!"

With that, Xiaosheng said no more and turned to leave.

Yan Zhege chuckled, "The more time passes, the less you will think so."
