You were put to guard a shabby mountain gate, yet all your disciples became Immortal Emperors.

Just as Linzhou was happily accepting the system reward, the second match of the quarterfinals had already begun on the other side of the arena.

It was Shi Yi fighting against a disciple of Qingyun Peak.

That disciple was Li Mu's confidant. Before going on stage, everyone saw him swallow a pill, and then his aura surged and his eyes turned red.

"It's the banned drug, the Bloodlust Pill!"

"Damn, Elder Li Mu is getting cocky? He's going to go all out!"

However, it didn't work.

Shi Yi didn't even look at him directly.

He didn't even flinch as the opponent's attacks rained down on him like a storm.

He didn't even draw the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword.

Only when the other party's drug effects wore off and they were panting heavily did Shi Yi slowly raise his hand.

a slap.

"Snapped!"

The disciple was spun around like a top, completing a 720-degree spin in the air before falling face-down off the stage and losing consciousness.

The entire audience: "..."

I'm numb, completely numb.

Those two guys from Xiaoqiongshan are basically here to blew up the fishpond!

Immediately afterwards, the semi-finals began.

When the elder in charge announced, "Xiao Fan from Xiaoqiong Mountain versus Shi Yi from Xiaoqiong Mountain," everyone was stunned.

civil war?

What's the point of fighting now?!

Just when everyone thought they were about to witness a spectacular duel between fellow disciples, Xiao Fan stepped onto the stage and bowed to Sect Master Ling Xiaozi on the main stage.

"I hereby inform the Sect Master that this disciple... concedes defeat."

Wow!

The audience erupted in cheers again!

"What? You're admitting defeat?"

"What the hell? Has Xiao Fan gone mad? He possesses a different kind of fire; his chances of winning are very high!"

"What... what is this?"

Only Linzhou, with his legs crossed, leisurely fanned himself with a tattered palm-leaf fan, was overjoyed.

"Look at our company culture! Do they even know what teamwork is? Do they even know what it means to help others achieve their goals?"

"That Xiao Fan, he's really broadened his horizons!"

Xiao Fan stepped off the stage, came to Shi Yi's side, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Junior brother, your stage is now in your hands."

Shi Yi's lips moved, but he didn't say anything; he just nodded vigorously.

The finalists are now confirmed!

Xiaoqiongshan, Shi Yi!

Battle!

Cangyan Sect, Shi Hao!

The battle of destiny is about to begin!

The atmosphere in the entire square was instantly ignited to its peak!

Shi Hao slowly walked onto the arena. He was dressed in fine clothes and had a handsome face, but his effeminate and arrogant demeanor made people very uncomfortable.

He looked at Shi Yi as if he were looking at an ant that he could crush at will.

"My dear brother, I never expected you to be so lucky to still be alive."

Shi Hao's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of malicious mockery.

"That's fine too, saves me the trouble of making another trip. Today, right here, in front of the entire sect, I will personally send you on your way!"

boom!

A terrifying pressure erupted from Shi Hao's body!

A dazzling golden light shone from his chest!

Golden rays of light flowed, forming a majestic phantom of a Qilin behind him!

"It's the Supreme Bone! Is this the legendary power of a born supreme being?"

"This is terrifying! Just this oppressive aura alone is making it hard for me to breathe!"

Below the stage, countless disciples turned pale, and some were even forced to retreat repeatedly by the oppressive aura.

However, Shi Yi remained expressionless.

He walked step by step toward the arena.

Boom!

The first step was to expose a crack in the solid bluestone arena.

Boom!

The second step was that the cracks widened, and the entire arena trembled slightly.

Boom!

third step!

His every step was incredibly heavy, and his voice was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart!

With each step he took, an ancient, desolate, and domineering aura awakened within him!

Behind him, an extremely blurry phantom slowly emerged.

That was... an ancient ancestral dragon!

Although it was just an outline, the dragon's majestic aura, which seemed to rule the world and look down on all things, caused the phantom of the Qilin behind Shi Hao to let out an uneasy growl!

"What...what is this?!"

Shi Hao's smug expression froze.

He was shocked to discover that the supreme bone he was so proud of in his chest was actually... trembling!

It was a fear that came from the depths of one's blood!

It's as if a servant has met the emperor!

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Shi Hao roared inwardly, unable to accept this fact.

"This is a supreme bone! How could it be afraid of a piece of trash!"

The referee announced loudly, "The final match begins!"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Hao made his move!

He wanted to use the most ruthless method to tear apart this piece of trash in front of him that made him feel uneasy!

Neither of them used any fancy spells.

The battle between barbarians is the most primal and violent physical clash!

boom! boom! boom!

The dull thuds of punches landing echoed across the square!

Blood splattered, bones creaked!

Everyone was stunned!

This is no battle between cultivators; it's clearly a life-or-death struggle between two ancient ferocious beasts!

Shi Hao became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed!

He discovered that Shi Yi's physical strength was far beyond his imagination!

How could this be merely the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm?

Every punch he threw felt like it hit solid iron, making his arm go numb!

In contrast, Shi Yi acted as if nothing had happened, and his attacks became increasingly fierce!

"My dear brother, stop struggling!"

While launching a fierce attack, Shi Hao also tried to break Shi Yi's resolve with words.

"Your bones are very useful in my body!"

"It made me the most honored prince of the Stone Kingdom, the chief disciple of the Azure Flame Sect's outer sect, and the future Holy Son, allowing me to enjoy endless glory!"

"You should be thanking me, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in Shi Yi's icy eyes.

He stopped attacking, letting Shi Hao punch him in the chest.

"cough!"

Shi Yi took a step back, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

But he smiled.

That smile was cold and cruel.

"That bone is dirty now, it's been used by you."

"I don't want it anymore."

He raised his head and spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice not loud, but it carried throughout the entire square.

"Today, I'm here... to have my bones dissected!"

boom!

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

That's so awesome!

This is true revenge!

"court death!"

Shi Hao was completely enraged!

He held nothing back, pouring all his spiritual power into the Supreme Bone!

"Supreme Bone - Hand of Heaven!"

A gigantic golden hand, capable of blotting out the sky, appeared out of nowhere in the sky and slammed down on Shi Yi with terrifying power to suppress everything!

The entire world is groaning!

The disciples below the stage were already terrified!

"Damn it! How are we going to block this?"

"Shi Yi is dead!"

In this desperate situation, the Undying Dragon Bone Scripture within Shi Yi's body was running wildly to its limit!

The newly formed Ancestral Dragon Emperor Bone on his chest burst forth with boundless light!

"roar--!"

A loud and high-pitched dragon roar seemed to come from the primordial era, shattering the sky!

Shi Yi slowly raised his right fist, his posture simple and unpretentious.

He remembered his master's lazy teachings.

He roared out each word loudly at the giant golden hand that descended from the sky!

"What my master taught me... a serious punch!"

(Actually, only the posture and slogans were taught, from the One-Punch Man manga.)

A punch is thrown!

There were no spectacular special effects.

Only the purest, most primal, and most domineering power!

A blurry dragon-shaped fist shadow rose against the sky!

Boom!!!

The dragon-shaped fist shadow collided fiercely with the hand of heaven!

No stalemate!

Just one second!

That once invincible golden giant hand, like a punctured balloon, shattered inch by inch, turning into countless points of light!

The dragon-shaped fist shadow continued its momentum, tearing through the air and slamming heavily into Shi Hao's chest!

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound, so clear it sent chills down everyone's spine, echoed throughout the entire venue!

"puff--!"

Shi Hao was sent flying backwards like a tattered sack, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs while still in mid-air.

His chest was deeply sunken.

The Primordial Supreme Bone that once brought him unparalleled glory is now covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

The entire venue was deathly silent.

On the viewing platform, Elder Liu Cangye, the leader of the Cangyan Sect, suddenly stood up. He was an old man in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and at this moment his face was ferocious, and his killing intent was overwhelming.

"You brat! How dare you destroy the foundation of my sect's future holy son! You're courting death!"

A terrifying pressure belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator instantly enveloped the entire arena, crushing towards the heavily injured and fallen Shi Yi!

Liu Cangye, intending to bully the weak, crippled Shi Yi on the spot!
