Chapter 211: Yin Huiliang Vs Hu Jianyu
One of them possessed a robust physique, his muscles glistening under the bright arena lights. His serious expression was accentuated by clenched teeth and tightly gripped fists. Confidence and power emanated from him as he flexed his muscles while holding a giant greatsword in his right hand, poised to strike down his opponent.
In contrast, the other young man appeared smaller and less imposing, but he possessed a handsome face framed by long, flowing black hair cascading down his back. His composed demeanor and focused gaze hinted at concealed strength. He held a green fan in his left hand, which he slowly opened while obscuring his mouth behind it, a smirk evident on his face.
It was clear that the man was underestimating his opponent.
"Kyaa, Hu Jianyu, we love you!!"
"Hu Jianyu, marry me; I want to have your babies!!"
Many women in the crowd were swooning over Hu Jianyu, showering him with adoration and declarations of love. Observing this, the man with the greatsword in his hand glared at Hu Jianyu with anger in his eyes.
"Hu Jianyu, today I will be the one to teach you a lesson," the man with the greatsword in his hand declared, pure hatred burning in his eyes.
"Hahaha! Another individual thinking they can challenge me," Hu Jianyu chuckled, his smirk widening behind his fan.
"Yin Huiliang, you're still at the Meridian Opening 8th Stage, daring to challenge me, who has already reached the Meridian Opening 9th Stage? You must be delusional," Hu Jianyu sneered, his arrogance evident in his voice.
Yin Huiliang remained calm, his eyes focused and determined. "Meridian opening stage or not, I will defeat you and teach you a lesson for what you did!"
"Yin Huiliang, it's not my fault that your girlfriend broke up with you. Don't take out your frustrations on me; it's not my fault that she wanted to be with me," Hu Jianyu retorted, his smirk transforming into a full-blown grin. "But I must say that woman had excellent taste. She clearly knew what she was missing out on."
"Y-Youu!!!!"
Yin Huiliang, with fury in his eyes, lunged forward, but suddenly an Elder appeared between them, extending his hands to separate them.
"Enough!" the Elder commanded, his voice filled with authority. "No fighting before the battle officially begins."
"Remember, the purpose of this battle is not to harm each other but to test your skills. Keep your focus on the goal," the elder advised.
Yin Huiliang reluctantly stepped back, his anger still evident in his clenched fists.
"Both participants, present your discipline tokens."
The Elder requested each participant's disciple token, and after taking them, he deducted the necessary points for the fight and returned them to Yin Huiliang and Hu Jianyu.
"As per the agreement between both participants, 2,000 points are deducted from each of your disciple tokens. The winner takes it all," the Elder explained.
"What, 2,000 points!"
"No way, I don't even have that many points!"
As the other disciples witnessed the points being deducted from Yin Huiliang and Hu Jianyu's discipline tokens, they gasped in disbelief. Some expressed their astonishment, questioning how it was even possible to accumulate such a large number of points.
Meanwhile, Su Bingxin glanced at Yin Yun and asked with a curious expression, "Is 2,000 points that hard to obtain?" Yin Yun smiled and shook her head.
"For some people, yes. It requires immense dedication and hard work. Only a few individuals in the outer area have that many points."
"You'll be surprised once you see the prices of books on the second floor of the Sect Library. Points are essential for everything in the sect, so it's crucial to have a substantial amount," Yin Yun added with a playful glint in her eyes.
'So I'll need to earn a significant number of points if I want to access the valuable resources in the Sect Library,' Chen Tian thought to himself.
'Well, when that old man returns and starts teaching Su Bingxin his sword skills, I'll take that time to accept as many missions in the sect as I can possibly complete,' Chen Tian mused. If he hunted down beasts, he could achieve two goals at once: earning points and advancing his cultivation.
Moving away from the stage, the Elder announced, "Both participants should now prepare for the fight."
Yin Huiliang took a deep breath and tightened his grip on his sword. He had been eagerly awaiting this moment, determined not only to win but to humble Hu Jianyu in the process.
Hu Jianyu smiled and continued to observe Yin Huiliang with a mix of amusement and confidence, further fueling Yin Huiliang's anger.
As the battle unfolded, it became apparent that Yin Huiliang was relying on his strength and power, while Hu Jianyu was relying on agility and speed.
Both had different combat approaches, but it was evident that Hu Jianyu's strategy was proving more effective. With each dodge and counterattack, he was gradually wearing down Yin Huiliang's defenses. The crowd sensed a shift in momentum and began cheering louder for Hu Jianyu, who appeared unstoppable.
Despite Yin Huiliang's brute force, it was increasingly clear that agility and speed were the keys to victory in this intense battle.
"Brother Hu Jianyu is not only handsome but also exceptionally talented."
"Yes, if I could be his dao partner, I'd consider myself incredibly fortunate," a female spectator remarked to her friend.
Many women in the crowd shared the sentiment. They admired Hu Jianyu's skill and were captivated by his charm. Every move he made was graceful and precise, leaving his opponents in awe. It was no surprise that he had become the favored prince of the women.
However, the men on the sidelines didn't share the same sentiment. They watched the battle with stern expressions, feeling envy and resentment towards Hu Jianyu, wishing for Yin Huiliang to humiliate him.
Chen Tian observed it all with a smirk in his heart. The desire for a capable husband who could provide and protect was a primal instinct ingrained in human nature.
As the battle continued, Chen Tian couldn't help but notice something different about Hu Jianyu.
'That guy still isn't revealing his true strength,' Chen Tian thought to himself. He sensed that Hu Jianyu was stronger than he initially appeared.
That's why Chen Tian used Chaos Insight on both Hu Jianyu and Yin Huiliang.
*****
☆ Name: Hu Jianyu
☆ Cultivation Level: 10th Stage Meridian Opening
☆ Law: Wind: 30%
******
☆ Name: Yin Huiliang
☆ Cultivation Level: 8th Stage Meridian Opening
☆ Law: Earth: 27%
'So, Hu Jianyu is already at the Peak
Not only did Hu Jianyu have a high cultivation level, but his wind law was also at 30%.
This meant that Hu Jianyu had a strong foundation in wind elemental cultivation. It will be hard for Yin Huiliang to win against Hu Jianyu in a battle.
"Humph, if that is the best you can do, then you are truly a disappointment," Hu Jianyu sneered, his confidence evident in his voice.
His swift movements and precise dodges only fueled Yin Huiliang's frustration further.
It was clear that Hu Jianyu's superior cultivation and skills were a formidable challenge for Yin Huiliang to overcome.
As the battle continued, it became increasingly apparent that victory would not come easily for Yin Huiliang.
"Ahhh!! Hu Jianyu, you fucking coward, stop dodging and fight if you dare!" Yin Huiliang shouted angrily, frustrated by Hu Jianyu's dodging of all his attacks.
"Hahaha, then don't blame me for making you eat dirt," Hu Jianyu taunted.
