Chapter 10

As the signal was heard, Zhou Kai's face turned cold. A dazzling glow surged from his body. It was clear that he won't hold back.

"Mo Fan, I will show you how huge the gap between us!"

Spiritual energy rippled across Zhou Kai's body. He sneered at Mo Fan and took a step forward and quickly appeared in front of the latter. Zhou Kai's fist which was filled with devastating force was moving towards Mo Fan.

In the face of Zhou Kai's extremely powerful attack, to everyone's surprise, Mo Fan didn't show any signs of dodging.

Many people shook his head at this sight. It looks like Mo Fan was overestimating himself. He couldn't even react to Zhou Kai's speed.

Looks like the winner would be decided soon.

"Mo Fan is courting death"

Some people who was beaten by Mo Fan sneered. They were delighted by this turn of events.

Just as the blow was about to hit Mo Fan's chest, Mo Fan finally made his move.

He stretched his right palm and threw it at Zhou Kai's fist.

"Dragon Elephant Palm!"

Thump!

A heavy sound echoed in the practice field.

To everyone's surprise, this collision didn't end with Zhou Kai's complete victory. Mo Fan unexpectedly endured his blow and only took two steps-back. On the other hand, Zhou Kai took a step back and was surprised.

He used his full strength earlier, and yet Mo Fan managed to block it!

"How can this be!?"

The unimaginable scene caused not only the crowd but also the Yang Zhangtian and the others.

How could a mere 8th-stage Qi Refining Realm blocked a 7th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm attack head on? And even pushed back the attacker!

Even Ancestor Huang who had been watching the show calmly changed his complexion.

From what he felt, Mo Fan's palm had enough power to be on par with a peak Foundation Establishment Realm!

"A 7th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm is not that strong after all. Or maybe, you're that weak?"

Mo Fan mocked Zhou Kai.

"You!"

Zhou Kai stared at Mo Fan with a fierce look.

Soon, they continued brawled and exchanged blows.

As they fight, a weak glow emerged on Mo Fan's body and the the surrounding Qi began to surge.

Everyone was shocked by the sight. It was a scene that was familiar to all culrivators. In the middle of the fight, Mo Fan brokethrough to 9th-stage Qi Refining Realm!

Hisss!

The crowd was alarmed.

"Hahahaha! More!"

Mo Fan laughed wildly with an excited look on his face.

The cultivation technique he cultivated was named Heavenly Demon Scripture. It was a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique that he learned from the old book.

One of the traits of this technique was the user would get stronger faster the more he fight. It would also refine the body using pure spiritual energy and make the body stronger.

The reason why Mo Fan reached 8th-stage from the 4th-stage was because he had been fighting nonstop in the mountains.

Also, this technique made his spiritual energy much purer than other people. This was why he could fight against Zhou Kai head on.

It's no wonder he dared to challenge Zhou Kai!

"You... What kind of heavenly treasure did you eat to make your body this hard?"

Zhou Kai frowned.

Qing Yun was happy and excited by Mo Fan's strength. On the other hand, Xu Mei was shocked. She never thought the once trash Mo Fan was actually so strong!

"Do you think such heavenly treasure exist?"

Mo Fan sneered.

"Hmph. So what if you reach the 9th stage? In the end you're still a Qi Refining practitioner!"

Zhou Kai snorted.

He covered his right palm with spiritual energy and extended it forward.

"Mountain Breaking Fist!"

A heavy pressure was suppressing the arena.

"Hahaha! Eat this, Vajra Fist!"

Mo Fan laughed in response to Zhou Kai's incoming fist.

Dark aura was covering Mo Fan's hand. Compared to Zhou Kai's attack, the force behind Mo Fan's fist was much stronger and ferocious.

Bang!

Their attacks met.

This time, Zhou Kai's was the one who lost in the exchange!

"Kuh! How is this possible!?"

Zhou Kai's cried out in surprise. The might of Mo Fan's attack was tyrranical than him!

This discovery caused Zhou Kai's complexion to turn pale.

"You...!!"

He had been hailed as the number one genius, how could he lose to a trash!?

"I refuse to believe it!"

Fury flashed in Zhou Kai's eyes. He took out a red pill from his space ring and ate it.

His spirit power doubled. He executed Mountain Breaking Fist once again, but this time it's power was far stronger than before.

"Die, Mo Fan!"

The fist filled with so much energy caused the disciples to be awed.

"Hmph! Eating a berserk pill won't change anything"

Faced with Zhou Kai's desperate attack, Mo Fan kept his composure calm and covered his fists with a dark aura before meeting his attack.

"Vajra Demon Fist!"

Bang!

Their attacks collided and Zhou Kai's body was thrown outside the stage.

On the other hand, Mo Fan fell into his knees and was coughing up blood. However, he was still standing in the arena.

An absolute silence dominated the arena. No one could imagine that Zhou Kai, the number one genius in the younger generation lost to the number one trash in the sect!

"Winner, Mo Fan!"

The audiences went into an uproar as they heard the announcent.

"Brother Mo Fan!"

Qing Yun ran into Mo Fan's side happily and hugged him.

"Mo Fan..."

On the other hand, Xu Mei was looking at them with a bitter face. At this moment, she felt deep regret for the first time in her life. If she didn't leave Mo Fan, will she still kept her purity and be the one who was standing next to him now?

...

"Hahaha! Great! What an amazing fight!"

Yang Zhangtian laughed happily.

"Impossible!"

Sect Master Long opened his eyes wide in surprise. He was so sure Zhou Kai would win against Mo Fan, and yet the result was beyond his imagination.

"Hehehe. Old man Long, you better keep your promise and accept your lost"

Sect Master Liu mocked. She doesn't care about losing the bet as long as Sect Master Long was not the final winner.

"I guess, I won the bet"

Gu Xianyu chuckled.

"To think he actually won..."

Ancestor Huang was also shocked by this result. A faint glow emerged on his eyes. It had been a long time since the last time he saw such an outstanding disciple.

"Tsk! Fellow daoist Gu, your eyes is really sharp"

Sect Master Long said in agony. His face was quite miserable.

"Here. I lost the bet, so this Sky Serpent Halberd is yours"

He reluctantly handed over the halberd to Gu Xianyu.

"I also accept my lost. Fellow daoist Gu really deserves to be the winner. Can you tell us how can you judge him so perfectly?

Sect Master Liu also handed over her Nether Stone with a smile.

"Many thanks, fellow daoists. I'm just lucky. Hahaha, even I didn't expect the disciple I chose randomly would win"

Gu Xianyu took the items happily and laughed.

"Fellow daoist Gu is so modest. Even I couldn't see anything special with that kid"

Ancestor Huang said.

"Hahaha, it's all about fate. Who knows, fate might find yourself next time?"

Gu Xianyu smiled mysteriously.

Then, he turned his gaze at Yang Zhangtian.

"Sect Master Yang, I will give these items to you"

Gu Xianyu handed the items he just won.

"This..."

Not only Yang Zhangtian, but the others were shocked as well. The worth of these two items could even create a war if any one of them were found outside.

And yet, Gu Xianyu gave it away without batting an eye.

"Please accept it. Fate has allowed us to meet and it's also your fate to keep this things"

Gu Xianyu said.

"Fellow daoist Yang, I don't know how you met with fellow daoist Gu, however it's not good to refuse other people good will"

Ancestor Huang said.

"I... Very well. I shall accept these gifts"

Yang Zhangtian accepted the treasures with trembling hands. It must be known that although Demon Beast Sect used to be an ancient sect, there was only one Heaven-Rank weapon left.

And it was left behind by the predecessor.

He was elated by this sudden gifts.

"Also, as promised. Since you showed me something interesting, I will upgrade your guardian formation"

Gu Xianyu took out a token from his space ring. He then threw it into the sky. The token began to shine for a moment. After a while, it returned to his hand.

"Here, please drop your blood. You can control the formation with this token. Now your sect can detect anyone below 7th-stage Ascension Realm. It can also defend against 5th-stage Ascension Realm or below as long as you have enough spirit stones"

Gu Xianyu threw the token to Yang Zhangtian as he explained.

Yang Zhangtian was shocked by his words. He quickly dropped his blood. After doing so, a lot of informations regarding the formation entered his mind.

He was deeply shocked by the profound knowledge and looked at Gu Xianyu with respect.

"Many thanks for you gifts, Senior Gu. The Demon Beast Sect will never forget about this gratitude"

Yang Zhangtian cupped his hands and said with respect.

Sect Master Long and the others were surprised by his sudden action. They knew how arrogant Yang Zhangtian when they were young. He only respect the strong.

Even to Ancestor Huang who was a 9th-stage Transcending Tribulation Realm, he never called him senior.

Then, it could only mean that Gu Xianyu was an Ascension Realm senior!"

"Fellow daoist Gu... No, senior Gu, you are...?"

Sect Master Liu asked hesitantly.

"Just a wandering cultivator looking for interesting things"

Gu Xianyu said vaguely.

"The fate here had already ended. It's about time for me to take my leave. Fellow daoists, may we meet again if fate allow us"

Gu Xianyu cupped his hand and flew into the horizon.

"Old Yang, you bastard! Why didn't you tell me he was an Ascension Realm senior!"

Sect Master Long said dejectedly.

If he knew Gu Xianyu was an Ascension Realm senior, he would curry favor with him.

"That's right, Sect Master Yang! Aren't we friends? Why are you keeping such a secret to yourself?"

Sect Master Liu said resentfully.

The disciples behind them were also shocked by the sudden turn of events. Especially the young man behind Sect Master Long. If his master didn't stop him in time, he might offended an Ascension Realm senior!

His legs turned into jelly and he fell into his butts.

"Hey! You should know my position as well! What if I offend him? Won't my sect gone if I made a mistake?"

Yang Zhangtian sneered.

Ancestor Huang kept silent and was looking at the direction where Gu Xianyu left with a meaningful look.
