From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Liang Feng stepped to the side at the last moment.

Years of being attentive to details, taking care of his parents and others around him, had enabled him to be much more aware of details than others.

He took a step forward and got to the left side of Zhan Lao.

Pulling his fist back, Liang Feng directed all his Qi to it.

It gave out a faint white glow, and before Zhan Lao could turn and hack his sword at Liang Feng, Liang Feng unleashed his punch at Zhan Lao's waist.

Thud.

Zhan Lao felt his innards being stirred from Liang Feng's strike.

"Argh." He let out a cry in pain.

The pain nearly made Zhan Lao swipe his sword aimlessly.

His arms thrashed around, trying to get Liang Feng away from him.

Liang Feng wasn't one to be greedy, so he leaped away from Zhan Lao and waited for the next opportunity.

With Liang Feng away from him, Zhan Lao turned the blade of his sword downward and plunged it into the ground to support himself.

He held his left hand to his waist as he tried to stabilize his Qi.

Liang Feng saw this and lunged at Zhan Lao, with his eyes set on Zhan Lao's waist.

"Despicable!" Zhan Lao shouted at Liang Feng, and he unleashed a cross strike at Liang Feng's approaching figure.

He was afraid that another punch at his waist in the same spot by Liang Feng would cause serious damage.

Liang Feng was expecting this, and he leaped to the left side, dodging the X Qi wave that was coming at him.

Without any hesitation, he stepped onto the ground with force.

Crack.

The tile on the ground cracked as Liang Feng lunged at Zhan Lao's left side again.

Zhan Lao quickly turned the blade of his sword towards his waist.

Thud.

Liang Feng feinted a punch at his waist and delivered a left hook at Zhan Lao's head.

The impact gave out a muted thud and sent Zhan Lao spiraling across the ground.

"Stop! I declare the winner to be Liang Feng from the Physique Peak."

When the judge saw that Zhan Lao was unconscious from the punch, he immediately stopped the match and declared Liang Feng as the winner.

The crowd erupted at the result.

"What? I should've bet more on them!"

"Come, let's see if we can still bet on the other two matches."

"Yes, better not to miss out on this chance of a lifetime."

The disciples who hadn't bet on Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong, and Lin Xuan Qi earlier grew anxious and wanted to join in the winnings.

Those that had bet meager amounts wanted to increase their bets.

"No. I'm not accepting anymore bets!" The senior disciple playing bookie rejected all their bets.

He rubbed his temple as he furiously calculated how much he had to pay out if he lost all the matches.

"It can't be. The first match must have been pure luck. Zhan Lao has been stuck in Qi Concentration Level for so long, and that must be because he is weak."

The bookie said repeatedly to himself.

Ignoring all the commotions, Liang Feng, with a huge smile, walked back and joined Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi.

Shao Xue Cong was all smiles, and Lin Xuan Qi placed his hand on Liang Feng's shoulder.

They turned and looked at Lin Fan the next moment.

Liang Feng had done as Lin Fan told him during training, and it worked out well for him.

Satisfied with his performance, Lin Fan nodded and gave Liang Feng a thumbs-up.

Liang Feng smiled and bowed to Lin Fan.

"Next match, Shao Xue Cong versus Liu Xian!"

The judge held up his hands and announced the next match.

Shao Xue Cong stepped into the ring.

"Xue Cong, just do what senior master brother Lin Fan has taught you."

"I know you will win solely with your determination alone."

Liang Feng and Lin Xuan Qi gave her encouraging words, and she nodded at them.

Then she turned around and faced her opponent.

Her opponent was around her age, with delicate and fair skin.

A huge difference from Shao Xue Cong's tanned skin and skin covered with scars.

Her time working hard in the fields had taken a toll on her body.

Her opponent, Liu Xian, felt uncomfortable when she saw Shao Xue Cong's intense stare at her.

This made Liu Xian nervous, and she touched her chest.

When she felt the red crystal hanging from a necklace there, she immediately felt safe.

"Let the match begin!"

After the judge briefed them on the rules, he flagged his hand down and got out of the way of the competitors.

Shao Xue Cong didn't wait and lunged at Liu Xian.

She aimed for Liu Xian's right shoulder and punched at it.

Thud.

It hit and Liu Xian dropped her sword.

The next moment, Shao Xue Cong went in with a left hook at Liu Xian's head.

Thud.

The red crystal glowed, and a red glowing sphere engulfed Liu Xian's body.

It stopped Shao Xue Cong's punch and caused her to take a few steps back.

Shao Xue Cong felt pain in her knuckles, and she took a quick glance at her hand.

Her knuckles were bruised, and blood seeped out of the bruises.

She directed her Qi, and the bruises and wound healed a little.

Whoosh!

Liu Xian had picked up her sword and unleashed a Twirling Wind Strike at Shao Xue Cong.

Turning her body to the side, Shao Xue Cong dodged the Twirling Wind Strike in the nick of time.

Parts of her robes were ripped apart by the twirling wind when it caught her robe.

Shao Xue Cong then rolled on the ground and kicked at Liu Xian's legs, trying to bring her down onto the ground.

The red glowing sphere appeared again, and it blocked Shao Xue Cong's kick.

Stab.

Liu Xian turned her sword downward and plunged it down onto Shao Xue Cong's leg.
