Chapter 499: One Finger [1st Update]
"Hahaha!" The man laughed heartily, his eyes filled with disdain and ridicule as he looked at Li Xiaoyao.
"Sect Leader Jiang, this is the guest Elder you've invited? So arrogant at such a young age, if the Xuan Sect really has him, I'm afraid it will decline prematurely."
Li Xiaoyao flicked his sleeve and said, "I'll give you a chance, show me everything you've learned. If you can make me rise from this chair, then you win. At the same time, I'll give up my spot in the Human Realm."
"Presumptuous!" A cold light flashed in the man's eyes as he turned to Jiang Lichun and said, "Sect Leader Jiang..."
Jiang Lichun waved his hand, interrupting him, "This is a matter between you two, settle it yourselves."
"Good, since Sect Leader Jiang says so, I'll not hold back." The man clenched his fists and shook the air violently, glaring at Li Xiaoyao like a wolf and said, "Punches and kicks do not have eyes, are you sure you want to fight me?"
"Come on." Li Xiaoyao said lightly, but to outsiders, this attitude seemed a bit too conceited.
"Elder Li." Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but gently remind, "Elder Wu's cultivation level has reached the Second Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm."
Li Xiaoyao glanced at her and smiled, "Just Second Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Countless cultivators of that level have died by my hand, no need to worry."
Ye Qingcheng shook her head slightly, annoyed in her heart.
This Li Xiaoyao, still too young after all, so impulsive in his actions.
The last time the two met, Li Xiaoyao was only at the First Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm. It's been barely more than twenty days since their last meeting and Ye Qingcheng didn't believe that he could have made another breakthrough in such a short period.
Liu Chengxiang also frowned, and his chief disciple quietly asked, "Master, isn't Uncle Li a bit too overconfident?"
They had all interfaced with Li Xiaoyao before and knew that he did have a strong cultivation level, but even if he was strong, compared to Guest Elder Wu of the Second Rank in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, there was still a significant gap.
Shaking his head, Liu Chengxiang said, "Don't mind him. If he wants to show off, let him."
Li Xiaoyao didn't care how outsiders viewed him; everything he showed was genuine and natural.
This Elder Wu did have a powerful cultivation level at the Second Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, indeed not weak, but in Li Xiaoyao's view, he was quite ordinary.
Moreover, a number of cultivators from the Spirit Cultivation Realm had indeed died by his hand. A mere Elder Wu of the Second Rank was truly not a concern for him.
Elder Wu stepped into the center of the hall and said, "Elder Li, please enlighten me."
"You're not worthy of my instruction with your status, just attack." Li Xiaoyao's remark left everyone even more speechless.
Elder Wu's eyes were filled with a cold gleam as he said, "Elder Li is very confident."
Impatient to see him not attacking, Li Xiaoyao said, "Are you going to attack or not? My time is precious, I don't have time to waste with you."
"Since you're courting death, I'll not be polite any longer." With a chilling gaze, Elder Wu twisted his foot against the ground, producing a "bang" as he shot towards Li Xiaoyao like an arrow loosed from a bow, his fist carrying an irresistible force and thundering towards Li Xiaoyao's head.
"It's the Exploding Fist!"
"The Ninth Rank martial technique Exploding Fist, Elder Wu is truly enraged!"
Elder Wu was extremely confident that he could blast Li Xiaoyao into pulp with one punch. The punch contained at least three thousand pounds of force; not to mention Li Xiaoyao, even a cultivator of similar cultivation level would only have the option to dodge.
Li Xiaoyao simply looked faintly and then slowly raised a finger, gently pointing it towards Elder Wu's fist.
This scene drew sneers from the crowd.
"This kid is really too arrogant. I wouldn't dare to say that I could catch Elder Wu's punch myself."
"Foolish," Liu Chengxiang shook his head and said coldly.
Ye Qingcheng's delicate features returned to their usual indifference. She had already warned Li Xiaoyao, and he clearly hadn't taken her warning to heart. If that was the case, whether Li Xiaoyao lived or died, what did it have to do with her?
Among those present, aside from Jiang Lichun's nonchalant expression, the others either shook their heads and sighed or sneered and mocked. No one believed that Li Xiaoyao could gain the upper hand in such a situation.
"Bang!"
Elder Wu's fist collided with Li Xiaoyao's finger, and a power that struck fear into everyone's hearts erupted from the contact. In the next instant, Elder Wu's body was flung back at a speed several times faster than the punch he'd thrown, flying out of the hall in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Elder Wu flew out of the hall, crashing down the steps. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if every limb was shattered, with acute pain spreading throughout his body.
"Blurgh!" He couldn't hold back the blood any longer, vomiting mouthfuls of it.
"Elder Wu... has lost!"
The crowd gaped at the astonishing reversal, struggling to believe their eyes.
Elder Wu's punch had at least the force of three thousand pounds, yet Li Xiaoyao had countered it with just one finger, not only catching the punch but also sending Elder Wu flying and severely injuring him.
This strength was simply inconceivable.
"Master!"
A young man rushed down to assist the still-vomiting Elder Wu.
"Master, are you alright?" The anxiety was clear on the young man's face.
"Your master... No... No... Blurgh—" Spitting out blood with every word, his face deathly pale as if he were at death's door.
"Master, Master," the young man called out a few times, then raised his head and glared fiercely at Li Xiaoyao, who sat unshakably in the hall, and said, "How dare you harm my master!"
Li Xiaoyao flicked his finger, sending a Pill Medicine flying before the young man's eyes, and then came Li Xiaoyao's voice, "Take the Pill Medicine. You'll recover after a few days of rest."
The young man was taken aback, probably not expecting Li Xiaoyao to lend a helping hand, especially since he had just been yelling at him moments ago.
After hesitating for a few seconds, the young man grabbed the Pill Medicine, "Thank you."
Having fed the Pill Medicine to Elder Wu, his blood and qi quickly stabilized, and some color returned to his pale face.
Elder Wu struggled to stand up and looked at Li Xiaoyao with a complex expression in his eyes.
He had been so hostile towards Li Xiaoyao because he wanted to take this position from him, but it now seemed there was no hope.
Li Xiaoyao's strength was beyond his expectations, a power that could probably kill him with ease.
No wonder Li Xiaoyao had said before that with his status, he was not qualified for Li Xiaoyao's guidance. Now it seemed that was indeed the case.
"Elder Li, I concede," Elder Wu said, bowing his head slightly, enunciating each word.
Li Xiaoyao still wore that calm expression, but others' perception of him underwent a radical change.
With a single finger, he had seriously injured Elder Wu. Just how advanced was Li Xiaoyao's Cultivation Level?
The most shocked was Ye Qingcheng. She clearly remembered that the last time they met, Li Xiaoyao's Cultivation Level was only at the first rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
And now, he was able to easily injure Elder Wu, who was at the second rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm. So, what exactly was his current Cultivation Level?
