16 Defeated!

The moment Liu Liqi come on the stage, the crowd quieten down. They want to see just what kind of battle could that freshman show them.

Liu Liqi looks around 18 years old. He's tall and musculin. When the crowd saw the sight of Luo Qu confronting Liu Liqi, it looks like a kid was being bullied instead of a battle.

Shortly after introduction, Liu Liqi quickly drove his Qi. A sharp aura emitted from his body. Releasing his Qi, it quickly enveloped Luo Qu's body.

Upon sensing that his opponent's Qi surrounded him, Luo Qu forcefully moves back a few steps before dodging to the side. Dashing toward the opponent, he quickly throws a punch skill at Liu Liqi. However, upon seeing the skill coming directly to him, Liu Liqi didn't even dodge it.

He smiles slightly and takes the punch head on.

The freshmen were astounded. The punch has landed directly on Liu Liqi chest but it didn't even leave a scratch. It was just like the punch was passing through the wind.

Luo Qu was astonished but he also had a smile on his face. That was his strongest punch but it did nothing to his opponent. This only serves to make him even more determined to break through to the next realm.

The two friends of Tian Feng watches the battle cheerfully. Although they are geniuses in their respective city but in the end, they're a bunch of kids.

Amongst the group of freshmen, they were probably the youngest. Even that Luo Qu is probably 12 years old.

Except for Tian Feng who's around 30 years old if he counted his previous life, everyone else is so young. That was why although he had a feeling for Li'er, he didn't say anything because she was still a kid.

He knew that Da Jing also has taken a liking in Li'er but he didn't mind much since Da Jing is even younger than him.

Luo Qu throws a few more punches. Finally, Liu Liqi used one of his fingers to push him off the stage while puking out a mouthful of blood.

The battle has ended with Liu Liqi as the winner. It was to be expected.

Luo Qu gets up and walks toward the stage "Luo Qu thanks senior for going easy on me."

After which, he left with a smile on his face. Da Jing and Tian Feng stare at him until he gone out of their sight. They didn't know what Luo Qu was thinking.

Da Jing shot a glance at Tian Feng before going up to the stage. He introduces himself similar to Luo Qu since he doesn't know anyone here as well.

His battle is also the same. Utterly defeated. But, he felt more determined. At this point, Da Jing thought that perhaps this was what Luo Qu had felt.

Eventually, it's Tian Feng's turn. This competition was supposed to be for the senior duel each other. However, it had turned out to be a place to get a feel of a Mortal Realm Cultivator. Although each battle ended rather fast, it still took some time. But, those senior didn't seem to mind this and compete with him to go first. They also want to watch this kind of battle.

Tian Feng went up and introduce himself to Liu Liqi. He then starts to circulate his Qi while lifting his finger. He knows that he's not the opponent's match so he went with what he thought as his strongest skill right from the start.

He shoots his Qi Bullet toward the man but he was astounded to see that Liu Liqi was still standing there with a smile on his face.

The bullet landed on Liu Liqi chest but nothing happened, not even a sound. The Qi Bullet was disappeared just like that. The skill that he had used to injured countless participants before was ineffective at all.

Tian Feng was even more troubled. How come this skill suddenly become so weak?

But Liu Liqi didn't think the same, inside he was also shocked. To think that a freshman would be able to force him to use more than 30% of his strength just to neutralize his attack.

Earlier, when he looks at the bullet coming, he thought that it would be weak. However, when it was about to reach him, he felt a sense of danger and quickly concentrate his qi to neutralize the attack.

Tian Feng clenches his fist and punches out his first level Divine Punch but it's even weaker than the piercing bullet.

However, everyone else was looking at him with interest. It was just yesterday evening that he got the skill but within one night, he has already reached the first level. What a genius!

Knowing that he would lose anyway, he stops his attack and said "Senior, I can't compare to you in a strength contest. Let's compete in speed instead. How about that?"

"Alright! I'll see what you have to show me."

Utilizing his Wind Movement Technique to the maximum speed, Tian Feng instantly appears behind his opponent. Liu Liqi was once again get startled for a moment by this kid. However, he quickly recovered and instantly moved away.

In the eyes of the freshmen, both of them were moving like a blurry shadow. If any ordinary people are watching, they wouldn't be able to see anything at all.

The elders were also amazed by Tian Feng's movement technique. However, Liu Liqi still managed to outspeed him after a few rounds of chasing.

Using his opponent tactic, Liu Liqi appears behind Tian Feng and hits him lightly. However, after his attack landed on Tian Feng, he discovered that the kid's body is quite strong. If he wants to injure him, he would have to use at least 40% of his strength.

Tian Feng had a feeling that his body is somewhat stronger now. Although it's not strong enough, it's still stronger than most freshmen. When he took the attack earlier, he felt that although the attack is heavy, he could still endure it.

But, if he were to know that Liu Liqi was just hitting him lightly, he wouldn't think that his body is strong anymore. He was running out of skills to use and he was about to admit defeat when he thought of his soul.

He wants to have another go to sense the other party soul strength. Although he didn't have any soul attack skill, having cultivated God Soul Stutra, his control over his soul increased tremendously. However, as soon as he sensed it, he hopelessly admits defeat.

The other party soul was not as strong as him in term of pure energy. However, he felt a dangerous feeling coming from Liu Liqi's soul. The moment he released his soul energy to sense the other party soul's strength, the other party soul instantly put up his guard.

There's actually a layer of unknown energy protecting the soul. Tian Feng felt that without any soul martial skills, he wouldn't even be able to touch the other party soul. Not to mention injure it.

Liu Liqi was equally shocked when he sensed the kid's soul. It was stronger than his but it seems like Tian Feng could not use it to attack. As Liu Liqi was still in the Mortal Realm, he didn't focus on cultivating his soul yet. Thus, the energy that his soul could harness is still limited. Only through utilizing martial technique, could he protect his soul.

It was not that he neglected the cultivation of his soul but as a Mortal Realm cultivator, it was extremely hard to cultivate his soul. Besides, his body is not strong enough.

However, upon sensing the kid's soul, doubts raised up within his mind. As far as he knows, due to the sheer difficulty to cultivate soul before reaching Spiritual Realm, cultivator would prefer to spend time trying to break through to Spiritual Realm instead. But, how can the kid before him have such a strong soul? Could it be he was naturally born with it?

There had been cases of someone born with an extraordinary soul's strength. But, while it's not nonexistent, it was still extremely rare.

This thought only stays in his mind for a short moment, before it was being rejected. Rumours have it that although those people were born with an extraordinary soul, they can't actively use it without cultivating it first.

But, looking at the kid, it seems like he can control it to some extent so it could not be a natural born soul. Liu Liqi couldn't think of a better reason so he pushed it to the back of his mind and left the stage too.

Tian Feng also left the stage. He was walking back to where his friends were standing. He was intending to watch all the following battles. However, as soon as he stepped down from the stage, his friend also run toward him.

Li'er walked to him and asked worriedly. "Tian Feng, are you alright?"

Upon hearing that Li'er was worried about him, he felt warm in his heart. Smiling radiantly, he said. "I'm alright. How could I be not alright?"

After which, the three of them continue to watch the battles until the sunset. Tian Feng has seen and realized many things. His emotion has changed too much within a span of one day. In the morning, he felt invincible but in the afternoon, he felt incredibly weak. But, after watching the seniors battles, he felt that his tiny bit of strength is not even worth mentioning at all.

Tian Feng was determined to become stronger. The academy achieves their purpose. The reason they want the freshmen to watch the battle was for this. To induce the desire to become stronger.

On the way back, Tian Feng has thought of many things. He realized that there are still many things he's not aware of in this world. Everything has changed so much that he can barely make use of his knowledge from another world.

They have dinner together before going back to their own rooms. Although no one said it, everyone felt it. They felt the need to become stronger. Any sane person would feel the same. Given a choice, who would want to be weaker?

Tian Feng locked his door as he entered his room. It was his lifetime habit to lock the door of his room especially when he was inside. He simply hates disturbance and wants privacy.

Sat down on his bed, he started to contemplate about the previous battle. There was only one conclusion; In that battle, he lost in everything. Be it strength, technique and even his soul, they were all inferior.

A legend said that the cultivation in this world has a total of ten realms. At this point, he was at the bottommost of this world. The feeling of being the weakest existence is anything but good. He was only a peak Qi cultivator.

In the first realm, one would be able to exert strength up to 10240 Jin which is 5120 Kilograms, roughly 5 tons. However, after one reached the Mortal realm, one's strength would be doubled.

If now he could only lift 5 tons now, once he has broken through, he would be able to lift 10 tons. Such is the gap between the two realms. Not to mention the bloodline enhancement, just this gap alone is almost impossible to close.

Sigh...

Tian Feng was about to start cultivating when he remembers that he still has one more skill to learn.

The Lightning Palm Strike!

He quickly took it out and began to study seriously. His wit has recovered a lot after all these years.

After what seemed like an eternity, Tian Feng stood up and execute the first level of Lightning Palm Strike. Whenever he was concentrated on his training, he would lose track of time. Sometimes he doesn't even know what's going on around him.

Raising his hand, Tian Feng circulated his Qi according to the manual. Small sparks of lightning were shrouding his fist as he punches into the air. As he saw the speck of lightning, he thought of electricity.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.
