Chapter Seven - Battlefield

- Ouch! -

Junior Zhou’s bitter howl echoed throughout the mountains.

Elder Feng raised his eyebrows to the highest level, astonished by Xu Yi’s ability. He then stomped his feet and moved quickly towards Junior Zhou, causing a dent in the ground where he stood. In the glimpse of an eye, he stretched out his hand and moved it towards Xu Yi.

Some of the messy hairs around Zhou’s shoulder were cut off due to the quickness of Elder Feng’s movements.

The hatred imbedded in Xu Yi’s brain was so deep that he wouldn’t let this opportunity to kill Junior Zhou go. So, instead of dodging the incoming attack, on the contrary, he stretched his hand out, waiting for Elder Feng’s palm.

“Never overestimate yourself and bite off more than you can chew!” Elder Feng thought to himself, as he was confident that Xu Yi was too young to fight with him.

- Boom! -

A thunder like sound broke the silence when their two palms collided. Xu Yi stood his ground, only to find his feet sinking half an inch into the soil. While Elder Feng seemed stable and at ease. Without any doubt, Elder Feng had the upper hand in this first round.

At least Xu Yi wasn’t pushed backwards, he steadily stood his ground. Elder Feng couldn’t help but wonder how much potential this young man possessed, as he originally expected to find this young man falling down or hurriedly retreating. Xu Yi seized this moment, when Elder Feng was pondering, as he rushed towards Junior Zhou, nipping off his left arm.

Startled and out of sheer rage, Elder Feng tore down his clothing and threw himself at Xu Yi, like a provoked lion.

Xu Yi quickly retreated several steps, successfully avoiding the incoming attack.

Unlike Xu Yi, Junior Zhou was raised in an affluent condition, where there were countless herbs for him to cultivate Wu Dao. That was to say, he had taken shortcuts to reach the peak state of a forged body. In reality, he had never been in so much pain before. He eventually blacked out, as he couldn’t bear the immense pain of his arm being torn off and the wound on his shoulder, where the sword’s blade was still imbedded.

Elder Feng swiftly sealed up several acupoints on Junior Zhou’s body, in order to stop the bleeding. He then made him lie in a comfortable place.

“The peak state of a forged body! You were skinny with slacken bones two years ago. How could you cultivate to this state? Yes, it’s true that you have started cultivating Wu Dao in recent years, but for your age, it should already be too late. That’s why we’ve simply scorned you. We never thought that you could ever achieve anything in Wu Dao. But now, You surprise me just like a bolt from the blue. How could you reach the peak state within only TWO years? Even those peerless geniuses, who are raised up in prominent families, are slower in cultivating to this point. This is both crazy and terrifying!” Elder Feng thought hard to persuade himself into believing what was happening right in front of him.

Junior Zhou was at the later stage of a forged body, so his skin was extremely tough and hard to penetrate. But Xu Yi had the ability to rip Zhou’s skin and even break off his arm, effortlessly as nipping a flower from the ground. No matter how unbelievable it seemed, there was only one explanation for this phenomenon – Xu Yi had already reached the peak state of a forged body.

Everyone in this world, from ordinary pedlars to respected celebrities, they all regarded the cultivation of Wu Dao as the most privileged road of life.
