"Kid, are you sure you want to come up and compete with him?" As soon as the middle-aged man in charge of the judges saw Zheng-Fu preparing to get on stage, he immediately asked.
"If I wasn't sure, then why would I be here?" Zheng-Fu replied with a grin.
Ah!!!
The judge's expression immediately changed upon hearing Zheng-Fu's answer. But when he realized that this had nothing to do with him, he didn't say anything else and simply explained the rules to Zheng-Fu.
"You understand the rules of the maneuver, right?" After explaining the maneuver rules, the middle-aged man asked Zheng-Fu again.
"I understand. All right, let's start the maneuver. It seems that the young man can't wait any longer. If we don't start soon, he might just break this maneuver arena," Zheng-Fu said, tilting his head to look at the green-skinned young man, who was fiercely staring at him.
"All right, then start maneuvering!"
The maneuver in this round caused the Enchanted Monster Tavern's guests to put down whatever they were doing and focus on the area because they wanted to know whether this young man from the Silver Body Clan was the same person as in the rumor.
"Do you think that kid is the same person as in the rumor?"
"I think there's an eighty percent chance it's him."
"And who do you think will win between them?"
"Hey! How am I supposed to know? If you want to know, watch for yourself!"
Huh…
Back in the maneuver arena...
"It's a good idea to use all the energy you have. Otherwise, you will definitely lose to me," Zheng-Fu said with a smile on his face as he looked at the green-skinned young man staring at him.
"Huh! For you, just using one hand is more than enough!" The green-skinned young man could sense that Zheng-Fu was only at the initial Immortal Soul stage, so he didn't think much of Zheng-Fu's words.
"Haha. That's fine. Since you're so confident, I won't say much more."
Flap!!!
As soon as Zheng-Fu finished speaking, his figure quickly vanished from where he was standing and reappeared in front of the green-skinned young man without him even realizing it, before casually slapping him with one palm.
Woooosh!!!
Thud!!!
Argh!!!
Screech!!!
When the green-skinned young man was struck by Zheng-Fu's palm on his chest, it caused him to spew a mouthful of blood and bounce back dozens of steps before he was able to regain his balance.
This attack shocked the young man greatly. He didn't expect that Zheng-Fu, with an energy level just at the initial Immortal Soul stage, would be able to move with such speed. Plus, the energy of his palm was incredibly strong. The young man knew at once that the palm strike just now was not all the energy Zheng-Fu possessed.
As for the surrounding audience, after witnessing Zheng-Fu's attack, they gasped in disbelief and were speechless, especially the middle-aged referee, who had assumed that Zheng-Fu would be defeated in the blink of an eye. But the complete opposite happened, with the other party being attacked instead.
"I thought he must be extraordinary. It's a pity that he keeps hiding his talents and not revealing them all. But now I know that he is best suited to participate in the maneuver in the capital," Chu-Jing-Chen said with a smile, downing his liquor.
Back on stage, after the green-skinned young man was slapped and forced to retreat, he had already realized how strong Zheng-Fu was. Therefore, he no longer thought to insult his opponent just because he could sense the energy released by the other party. He was now willing to compete.
"Not using just one hand anymore?" Zheng-Fu asked with a provocative smile.
"Huh! You're very good at hiding your strength. But if you only have energy, it won't be enough to defeat me." The green-skinned young man still refused to admit that he was weaker than Zheng-Fu.
"It's up to you. Talk is cheap; let's see the real thing."
[Winter Flame Flying Saber Skill: First Stance; Winter Flame of Scorching]
After holding back the Winter Flame Flying Saber skill for a long time, Zheng-Fu finally unleashed all three of them, along with the tactical skills that came with these three flying saber stances. This skill set was a Mystical Martial skill, and the sabers were also weapons at the Pristine level, which was higher than the Mystical level.
Great masters at the initial Divine Emperor stage could be killed by just these three flying sabers. And Zheng-Fu used them on this green-skinned young man because he knew the man in front of him was hiding something. Therefore, Zheng-Fu didn't underestimate his opponent, but he also didn't want to reveal his full strength.
The green-skinned young man's face completely changed when he felt the intense energy from Zheng-Fu's three sabers. He realized that he could no longer conceal his energy. Otherwise, he would die from this stance.
But he couldn't reveal his true identity either. Therefore, the young man decided to use the two Mystical-level magic items he had brought with him. He poured all his energy into dealing with this skill. After taking this stance, he planned to immediately surrender.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of your poor flying sabers." After saying this, he took out a black jade and a purplish-golden bone, holding them as he activated the spells on these objects to create a shield.
"Huh! Do you really think two Mystical-level items can defend against my flying sabers? You're underestimating me, foreign brother," Zheng-Fu sneered at the green-skinned young man, who believed his two Mystical-level magic items could protect him.
[Winter Flame Flying Saber Skill: Second Stance; Winter Flame of Extinction]
Woooosh!!!
Zheng-Fu immediately employed the second stance with the second flying saber while also using the first flying saber for the first stance. The second stance was much more intense than the first. Although Zheng-Fu was not entirely familiar with these flying saber skills, controlling them was not too difficult for him.
Zing!!!
The two flying sabers charged toward the young man quickly and furiously before crashing into the energy barrier created by the young man's magic items.
Bang!!!
Clang!!!
The two flying sabers struck the energy barrier so hard that it couldn't withstand the impact.
The young man's face instantly turned pale when he saw that his defensive magic items couldn't block the two sabers for even a split second. There wasn't enough time for him to use any defensive skills. Faced with a life-and-death situation, the green-skinned young man quickly unsealed his body, reverting to his true demon form.
Roar!!!
Boooom!!!
The two flying sabers collided violently with the chest of the young man, now transformed into a demon, causing a loud thud that echoed throughout the Enchanted Monster Tavern. But nothing startled the crowd more than the young man's transformation.
"De… de… demon!"
"Is he from the Demon Tribe!?"
"Hurry up and surround him!"
"Hurry up and send someone to inform the City Governor!!!"
All the martial masters of the Monster Tribe inside the Enchanted Monster Tavern were immediately alert but not shocked. They quickly drew their weapons, ready to fight, as they were taught that the Demon Tribe could not coexist with them. When encountered, they were to be killed on sight.
As for the green-skinned young man, when he decided to reveal his identity, he had already accepted his fate. If he managed to survive, he knew he would not be able to return to the Demon Tribe, having failed his mission. So, his only option left was to fight.
"I never thought the Demon Tribe could infiltrate here undetected. It's really interesting. But that kid is even more intriguing," said a middle-aged man on the third floor, observing the events. He turned to look at Zheng-Fu with interest.
"That kid? Do you mean the young man who fought the Demon Tribe's people? How interesting could he be? From what I saw, he's just a normal young man with talent," another middle-aged man asked suspiciously after hearing his companion's words.
"Can't you see? This kid seemed to already know that the other party was from the Demon Tribe. And he's still concealing his true energy. But that's not all. What I suspect is that this child's strength might be on par with the Monster Emperor or Demon King," the first middle-aged man said with a satisfied grin.
"On par with the Monster Emperor and the Demon Tribe's current king? How could that be? He's still young. Are you trying to make me laugh?" The other middle-aged man seemed to disbelieve what his friend had said.
"Well, it's up to you. But I can tell you that even though I'm at the second level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage, I can't fully sense his energy level," the first middle-aged man said with a serious expression.
"Sigh... If you put it that way, then I'll have to believe you since my energy level is lower than yours. Our sect's disciple recruitment in the next few years would be extremely fortunate to have someone of his energy despite his young age," said the other middle-aged man, letting out a long sigh of relief, now feeling quite happy.
Back in the maneuver arena...
After the young man from the Demon Tribe had received both stance attacks, his body was covered with numerous wounds, and green blood gushed out everywhere. Additionally, the energy within his body was in turmoil.
"I told you to use all the energy you had from the start, but you didn't believe me," Zheng-Fu appeared in front of the young man without him even realizing it and spoke with a slight sneer.
Argh!!!
Yo… you… you!!!
