Chapter 15: Wang Yue, Victory!

As soon as the outer sect steward's words fell, Wang Yue and Liu Yong stepped forward and walked to the center of the square.

Wang Yue had seen the fierce battle between Shen Chen and Liu Yong clearly. Now, Wang Yue had become Shen Chen's close brother, and Liu Yong was his enemy. The sight of each other made them even more hostile.

"Hmph! Kid, you actually dare to choose me as your opponent! I lost to your big brother Shen Chen, but do you think I'm easy to bully? Excellent! I'll teach you a lesson, and it will be a down payment for Shen Chen!" Liu Yong sneered.

"Is that so? Then bring out all your skills and try!" Wang Yue said calmly.

Just half a month ago, Wang Yue was just an ordinary outer sect disciple, and among the outer sect disciples, he was the lowest of the low.

At that time, Wang Yue was very inferior and timid, not daring to offend anyone. When Liu Yong and others came to snatch the Body Tempering Pills, Wang Yue didn't dare to resist and could only obediently hand them over.

However, since Wang Yue met Shen Chen and became his brother, his strength improved rapidly. Now, Wang Yue has broken through to the third level of the Blood Fusion Realm, which greatly boosted his confidence!

"Brother Chen could defeat Liu Yong, who is at the third level of the Blood Fusion Realm, when he was only at the first level. Now that I have also broken through to the third level, I don't believe I can't defeat Liu Yong!" Wang Yue thought to himself, a surge of ambition rising in his heart.

"Xuan Ying Li Kong Claw!" Liu Yong didn't say much. Three blood-colored rays suddenly appeared on his arms, and his hands bent like eagle claws. He directly used his strongest killing move and pounced at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue didn't dare to take it lightly and quickly used the Great Vigorous Fist to meet him.

Before Wang Yue and Liu Yong's battle, dozens of outer sect disciples had already fought with inner sect disciples. Only four of them defeated the inner sect disciples and entered the inner sect, while the rest all failed.

This made the outer sect disciples, who had initially harbored hope, fall back into despair. Therefore, the outer sect disciples present didn't have high hopes for Wang Yue.

"Although Senior Brother Liu Yong has only been in the inner sect for a short time, he has the backing of Senior Brother Lin Hai and has cultivated the mid-level human-grade technique 'Xuan Ying Li Kong Claw.' His strength is at least in the top five among the twenty inner sect disciples! Is Wang Yue crazy to choose Liu Yong as his opponent?"

"Exactly! Although Liu Yong's reputation isn't good, his ferocity is well-known! How many third-level Blood Fusion Realm outer sect disciples have been beaten to a pulp by Liu Yong? Wang Yue is in for a rough time!"

...

The outer sect disciples were all discussing.

Shen Chen stood among the outer sect disciples but didn't say anything. He just calmly watched Wang Yue and Liu Yong's battle.

Wang Yue is indeed Shen Chen's brother, but many times, Wang Yue has to face things on his own! Moreover, with the help of the mysterious mirror, the old man's memories, and energy, Shen Chen will eventually leave the Flowing Cloud Sect and Luo Yun City, stepping onto a larger and broader stage.

At that time, if Wang Yue can't keep up with Shen Chen, Shen Chen will have to part ways with him.

"Bang!" Wang Yue's fist collided with Liu Yong's Xuan Ying Li Kong Claw.

"Thud, thud, thud..." Wang Yue took three big steps back before he could barely stabilize himself.

On the other side, Liu Yong also took three big steps back, his face very grim.

Liu Yong never expected that in just half a month, Wang Yue had broken through from the first level to the third level of the Blood Fusion Realm, reaching a strength comparable to his own!

Moreover, Wang Yue's punch just now had a force of about 3,400 to 3,500 pounds, slightly stronger than Liu Yong's!

"How is this possible! It's only been half a month! No, I can't lose! I absolutely can't lose!" Liu Yong's face showed a serious expression, and his body quickly moved, no longer choosing to clash head-on with Wang Yue.

Wang Yue saw that Liu Yong was no longer clashing head-on but was choosing to engage in a prolonged battle, and immediately understood Liu Yong's intention.

Through the head-on clash just now, Wang Yue already knew that his strength was firmly above Liu Yong's. This put Wang Yue in a dominant position, and there was no need to chase after Liu Yong. Now, the one who was most anxious should be Liu Yong!

Sure enough, after Liu Yong engaged in a prolonged battle with Wang Yue for a while, seeing that Wang Yue wasn't being thrown off balance, he became anxious.

Although Qingmian Liáo Láng Lu Hao didn't explicitly say it, a battle usually lasted for the duration of an incense stick. According to tradition, if Liu Yong couldn't defeat Wang Yue within the time of an incense stick, the battle would end with Wang Yue's victory.

If Wang Yue won, Liu Yong would have to return to the outer sect, which was not the outcome Liu Yong wanted.

"Eagle Soaring in the Sky!" Liu Yong suddenly leaped up, his body rising like an eagle, his claws hooked, shining with a faint green aura, blood-colored rays shooting up, and he fiercely clawed at Wang Yue's head from above!

A decisive move! One of the three strongest killing moves of the Xuan Ying Li Kong Claw, which can only be used by those at the fourth level of the Blood Fusion Realm or higher!

To learn this move, Liu Yong paid a great price, willingly becoming Senior Brother Lin Hai's servant for ten years, in exchange for Lin Hai's help in teaching him and allowing him to勉强 use "Eagle Soaring in the Sky"!

Liu Yong originally intended to use this move to deal with Shen Chen, to brutally humiliate him and avenge the humiliation he suffered last time!

"Wow! It's Eagle Soaring in the Sky! Heaven! Isn't it said that only those at the fourth level of the Blood Fusion Realm or higher can use this killing move? Senior Brother Liu Yong's talent is indeed strong!"

"This move, Eagle Soaring in the Sky, even a fourth-level Blood Fusion Realm warrior might not be able to withstand! Wang Yue is definitely going to lose this time!"

...

A few knowledgeable outer sect disciples immediately started discussing again.

Shen Chen's expression also changed slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he was still somewhat worried.

Indeed, Wang Yue has innate strength and can easily crush third-level Blood Fusion Realm warriors with the Great Vigorous Fist. However, if he were to face a fourth-level Blood Fusion Realm warrior, the outcome would likely be a crushing defeat for Wang Yue.

"Wang Yue, you must hold on!" Shen Chen thought to himself.

At the same time, Wang Yue also noticed Liu Yong's unusual move.

Although Wang Yue didn't recognize the move Liu Yong used, he could clearly sense the powerful killing force contained in it!

"It seems Liu Yong is making a last-ditch effort! This attack must have cost him a lot of blood energy, and he must be at the end of his strength. As long as I can withstand this attack, I will win! I'll give it my all!" Wang Yue's expression turned resolute, and a determined look flashed across his face.

A faint blood-colored aura suddenly shone from Wang Yue's body, and three blood-colored rays suddenly brightened. The muscles on Wang Yue's arms bulged high, and even a few drops of blood seeped through his skin, clearly showing that Wang Yue was also making a last-ditch effort, fully unleashing the blood energy in his body!

"Strength to Carry the World!" Wang Yue roared, his eyes bloodshot, his entire body seeming to be possessed, as he glared at Liu Yong, who was coming down from above, and fiercely swung his right fist without holding back.

With a loud "Boom!" the two figures were thrown like stones, crashing heavily onto the square paved with blue bricks.

"Hisss..." Both the outer and inner sect disciples present drew a deep breath.

It was intense! It was daring! Knowing that he couldn't match the strength, he still dared to face the challenge. This fighting spirit is not something everyone can possess!

Shen Chen nodded in approval, completely satisfied with Wang Yue's performance. Regardless of the outcome, and regardless of the future, such a brother will definitely stand higher and go further!

After a full three breaths, Wang Yue and Liu Yong, who were lying on the ground, couldn't get up. Their clothes had been torn into shreds by the intense blood energy, and their bodies were covered with deep, bone-visible wounds.

Now, with both sides injured, what mattered was no longer the techniques or the strength, but the willpower!

Liu Yong tried to stand up again and again, but he had no strength left.

On the other side, Wang Yue's injuries were even more severe, and he was almost about to faint. However, the spirit of not giving up and not backing down kept him going.

"I can't lose! I can't let Brother Chen down! I have to stand up, I have to enter the inner sect with Brother Chen!" Wang Yue gritted his teeth, supporting his heavily injured body bit by bit.

"Ah..." Wang Yue roared, howling to the sky, and wobbled to his feet, though he seemed to be about to fall at any moment, his body exuded a resolute and indomitable aura.

"Wang Yue wins!" the outer sect steward said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Shen Chen quickly ran forward and supported Wang Yue.

"Brother Chen, I didn't let you down, right..." Wang Yue forced a smile through his blood-covered face, then his head tilted to the side, and he fainted.

Upon hearing the announcement from the outer sect steward, Liu Yong, who had been struggling, immediately lost all his energy and collapsed like a pile of mud.

No one noticed that not far from the Purple Cloud Hall, a young man in a white robe with six golden cloud patterns on his sleeves coldly snorted, called Liu Yong a "waste," and then turned and left.
