Chapter Fourteen: The First Battle

  In just three days, the three days passed, and Dàoyuè still only cared about his own cultivation. He didn't even go to the academy once, and he had no interest in other people's matches. Knowing oneself and knowing others is a hundred victories, but strengthening oneself first is the most important thing.

  Today is the last day of the first round of the martial arts exam, and it's finally Ou Guan Yu's turn. He didn't come particularly early, anyway he was in the last group, there was no need to rush.

  When he arrived at the Spiritual Academy, the competition was almost over. Those who advanced successfully were naturally happy, while those who were eliminated could only frown and be disappointed.

  "Number 148 and Number 153, please go to the sixth arena. Number 150 and Number 151, please go to the eighth arena..."

  At this time, Shangguan Yu finally took the stage. His heart didn't have much turmoil, as if he was about to do something very ordinary. This is just the first round of competition, and indeed there's no need to be nervous. If you can't even pass the first round, how can you talk about the next few rounds?

  Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Jiancheng walked towards each other, their gazes intersecting across the short distance. Shangguan Jiancheng's face was filled with excitement, his eyes gleaming with pleasure. In contrast, Shangguan Yu's expression remained calm, but a hint of a smile lurked in the depths of his eyes.

  "Tsk, tsk, your luck is so bad that you're going to be eliminated by me in the first round. Should I say you're a waste or that you're unlucky?" Shangguan Jiancheng seemed to have seen the scene of him bullying Shangguan Yu, and felt the pleasure of stepping on Shangguan Yu's foot.

  "Some people are born stupid, I don't know if they were squeezed by the door or kicked by a donkey when they were young. And you, Shangguan Jiancheng, are one of the best among them! Take a good look at your own stage before speaking!" Shangguan Yu said, and then walked straight towards the eighth stage.

  He left, but a burst of laughter erupted around him. Duan Jiaolong was even more embarrassed, it turned out that he was at the sixth arena, while Duan Yu was at the eighth arena. Hearing the mocking sounds around him, Duan Jiaolong gritted his teeth, "Duan Yu, you wait for me!"

  Shangguan Yu stood facing a short, chubby man, someone he also knew. Ping Dong General's son, Chen Tao. Usually, he was also Shangguan Jiancheng's loyal subordinate, often coldly mocking him.

  "I thought it wouldn't be easy to advance in the first round, but I didn't expect to run into a waste like you. Sigh, there's no challenge at all, how did I end up meeting you?"

  Chen Tao deliberately put on a pretentious air, looking so ridiculous. Shangguan Yu was the first to burst out laughing, this little fatty's act was truly unconvincing.

  "I was going to let you off easy, but you're so ungrateful. You useless thing, today I'll beat you until you can't get up for half a month. But I'm not completely heartless, now kneel down and kowtow three times, and throw in a few dog barks, and I might let you off."

  "Don't even think about it, the truth will be revealed soon enough. Let's see who's really useless!"

  Shangguan Yu didn't bother arguing with Chen Tao anymore. If they kept this up, who knows how long they'd be at it?

  He directly rushed towards Chen Tao, throwing a punch. This punch didn't use much strength, just not wanting this fatty to keep nagging anymore.

  "This fatty seems to have a lot of nonsense, 'I knew it, you're just a waste with only the skill of sneak attacks. Let's see how I'll beat you up!'"

  The two men's fists met, a perfect match of needle and thread. Chen Tao was giving it his all, but Shangguan Yu seemed to be holding back. In their hearts, they both had a certain understanding of each other.

  In Chen Tao's view, this was so unbelievable. The cultivation of the peak of human extreme, how could it be only comparable to Shangguan Yu? This completely exceeded his imagination, how could a person who couldn't cultivate martial arts possibly compare to him?

  Shangguan Yu also had a psychological preparation in his heart. This Chen Tao was a bit worse than him, but he didn't plan to end this battle quickly.

  He has cultivated his perception for so long, now he naturally wants to take advantage of this opportunity to practice well. How can such a good opportunity be given up?

  Only to see a dramatic scene appeared on the stage, Chen Tao used all his skills to attack Shangguan Yu. But Shangguan Yu didn't fight back with him, he just kept dodging Chen Tao's attacks. One person was attacking with all his might, while the other was dodging with all his might. This was really not interesting at all, and others who were watching also found it boring.

  "Useless Fei Yu, apart from always hiding, what other skills do you have?" Chen Tao was also enraged, having been unable to hit Shangguan Fei Yu for so long, he was really furious.

  "Even I couldn't hit you, what qualifications do you have to yell randomly!" Shangguan Yu was also unwilling to show weakness. This fatty was really annoying to the extreme. However, after such a long time, he had finally gotten what he wanted. His perception ability was indeed strong, and he could often sense Chen Tao's attack direction in advance, which was why he could always dodge Chen Tao's attacks.

  Chen Tao was really angry, since he couldn't hit Shangguan Yu, he used a large-scale attack move. "This is what you forced me to do! Thousand armies and horses, trample the four directions!" This move also consumed a lot of Chen Tao's energy, and it was not something he would normally use.

  Shangguan Yu also knew that this move couldn't be dodged, so he simply didn't dodge it. Since they had already verified everything, then let this match end here!

  Chen Tao's move looked beautiful, but actually had no attacking power. However, it caught Gao Yun off guard and disrupted his rhythm. Chen Tao seized the opportunity to strike Gao Yun with the Chen family fist.

  Chen Family Fist, big and powerful, without any complicated moves. This fist technique is very suitable for this fat guy to use, but unfortunately his strength is too small. "The last move of Chen Family Fist, Fist Shatters Mountains and Rivers!"

  Shangguan Yu did not dodge, and the two fists collided again. This time, both of them were full-force punches, with no reservations, and this blow would also decide the success or failure of the two.

  Chen Tao was all smiles, he really didn't think that Shangguan Yu wouldn't dodge. Who's fist technique is more powerful than his? Chen Tao had been practicing the Chen family fist since childhood, and this punch was the most powerful move, wasn't Shangguan Yu asking for death? He had already predicted Shangguan Yu's defeat, saw Shangguan Yu's hands covered in blood, and heard the sound of Shangguan Yu's bones breaking.

  Shangguan Jiancheng had arrived early, his opponent was also a personal extreme martial artist, but compared to him, it's really not worth mentioning. With his Bingjing cultivation, he defeated the opponent in three moves. He looked at Shangguan Yu who kept dodging and hiding, with a disdainful cold smile on his face. When he saw the two people's fists clashing, he even excitedly applauded.

  Wu Ziming didn't smile, because he understood Shangguan Yu. He and Shangguan Yu had been fighting since childhood, and in the past when they were evenly matched, Wu Ziming had never won against Shangguan Yu. Now that his martial arts skills had improved, he naturally thought he was stronger than Shangguan Yu, but Chen Tao estimated that he wasn't as good as Shangguan Yu.

  Crack

  Right after that, only a mournful cry was heard. To everyone's surprise, Shangguan Yu was standing perfectly fine in the middle of the arena. But Chen Tao was curled up with his hands covering his face and wailing, "I'm dying from pain, I'm dying from pain!"

  The bone wasn't broken, but the blood flowing out was real. Chen Tao was really confused, how could he be the one who got hurt? How could his cultivation, which had reached an extreme realm, not compare to that of a useless Fei Wu? It must have been a dream, but the intense pain from his injury reminded him that all of this was real.

  "How is this possible? How can trash be more powerful than Chen Tao?"

  "Really? I must have seen it wrong! How can a waste from our college be so fierce?"

  "Absolutely impossible, a waste like Chen Tao can defeat the strongest human, this world is too crazy!"

  All the students present were in an uproar, they really couldn't believe that a waste material like him could win this match. Shangguan Yu was the first of the three evils of Tongling Academy, known as a waste material. Not being able to cultivate martial arts was something everyone knew, but what happened now overturned their understanding.

  Not only were the students confused, but even the instructors of the academy didn't understand. King Li Feng also looked at Shangguan Yu with curiosity, as he hadn't sensed any fluctuations in his aura. But Chen Tao, son of General Pingdong, was indeed a true peak cultivator, and this result was truly beyond his expectations.

  The result this time is indeed surprising, but Shangguan Yu's precise dodging earlier was even more astonishing. If he could accurately dodge his opponent's attacks every time, he would be invincible from the start. It's also unknown what secrets Shangguan Yu has, and many people have become curious about this waste.

  As for Shangguan Yu's performance, Zhuge Yuan was not surprised at all, and everything was within his expectations. Another person who was not surprised was Wu Ziming, who also had some understanding of Shangguan Yu.

  "Does this count as a win for me?" Shangguan Yu didn't plan on making things difficult for Chen Tao, who was just a minor character and not worth continuing to bother with.

  "You win, you win." Chen Tao still had his hands clenched, the intense pain making him tremble constantly. All of this was caused by Shangguan Yu, and he was eager to go back and treat his wounds, never wanting to see Shangguan Yu again.

  The one who least wanted to see this scene was Shangguan Jiancheng. He originally wanted to see Shangguan Yu's miserable appearance, but he didn't expect it to end up like this. He hated Chen Tao's uselessness, which really disappointed his expectations. Looking at Shangguan Yu's complacent appearance, at least he thought Shangguan Yu was complacent, he really wanted to go up and kick him a few times.

  "You wait for me, this time in the martial arts test you mustn't run into me, otherwise I will make you regret being born!"

  Shangguan Yu seemed to have heard Shangguan Jiancheng's words, and glanced over. He smiled slightly, gave Shangguan Jiancheng a provocative look, and then turned around and left.

  "The first round of the martial arts competition has ended, and tomorrow we will continue with the second round! To those students who advanced to the next round, I hope you will continue to work hard in the subsequent matches. We have also seen many talented students, even if you can't get into the top ten this time, the college will focus on cultivating you in the future. And to those students who were eliminated, don't be discouraged, there will be many more opportunities in the future..." Vice President Li Heng started his long-winded nonsense again.
