Fang Yu grunted, absorbing the full brunt of the attack with minimal movement.
Even his feet and body remained completely still.
Instead, it was Eastern Gate Orchid, who delivered the strike, whose palms collided with Fang Yu's, causing her to stagger back several steps, with blood spilling from the corners of her mouth.
[Eastern Gate Orchid: 402/1101.]
Eastern Gate Orchid clearly did not expect this outcome; her White Lotus Palm technique, relentless if not advancing.
Being blocked directly in a head-on clash declared her inferior in skill.
She looked at Fang Yu in shock, unable to comprehend how anyone could withstand her full-strength blow.
Yet, the fact was right before her eyes, this Red Bull masked man had indeed absorbed her White Lotus Palm attack unflinchingly.
"What... What kind of palm technique is this?"
This question, not only was Eastern Gate Orchid curious, but also Hei Ao among the spectators were eager to know.
Fang Yu just smirked.
"Ordinary palm technique."
Eastern Gate Orchid, wiping away the blood from her mouth, gave Fang Yu a resentful glare.
"I remember you. Next time we meet, I will defeat you!"
Without waiting for Fang Yu to retort fiercely, she directly jumped off the arena.
As Eastern Gate Orchid turned, a longsword flew towards her.
She quickly caught it and realized it was her own sword.
Eastern Gate Orchid snorted coldly, catching Hei Ao's mocking expression, gritted her teeth and walked away.
"Eastern Gate Orchid... lost?"
"That Eastern Gate Orchid from the White Lotus Sect actually lost??"
"How could that be! What kind of background does this guy have to defeat Eastern Gate Orchid!"
"It seems Red Bull is affiliated with Hei Long; he was avenging him."
"Such strong power, defeating Eastern Gate Orchid seemingly without much effort, he looked quite at ease."
"It must be an act, defeating Eastern Gate Orchid doesn't mean he has won the champion of the arena yet. He has to face more challengers after this, he certainly can't show any weakness."
The crowd was buzzing, evidently struggling to accept this result.
But the outcome was decided, and they had to acknowledge Fang Yu's victory.
Hei Ao shouted excitedly from below.
Though he had lost, Fang Yu had won, and the ranking reward was still his.
However, as he realized later, he sensed a growing gap in strength between himself and Fang Yu.
"This kid... How did he train? It seems like his strength has suddenly surged tremendously."
He had been diligent in his practice within the Hei Family, utilizing all the resources available. Since their last meeting, he had devoted himself entirely to cultivation, achieving a breakthrough.
Zuo Lv should also be about the same, having just broken through not long ago.
But Diao Deyi on the arena was different.
He seemed to have stabilized in his new realm for quite some time now, his power very firm and... strong!
Zuo Lv, now playing roles of support cheerfully, seemed rather relaxed.
It mainly stemmed from a well-aimed goal; the reward for rank ten wasn't coveted by many, and fewer still were those stronger than her. Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
Challenging people like Eastern Gate Orchid, she hadn't encountered even one, securing the reward should be nearly certain.
"Unexpectedly, there are hidden experts like you among the challengers."
[Soul Stealing Hammer] He Bashan also turned his gaze at this moment, his words akin to an endorsement from a powerful figure, instantly silencing many below.
An expert even [Soul Stealing Hammer] He Bashan praised was certainly no pushover.
But compared to those defenders with stable ranks, Fang Yu, who just entered the scene and just had a head-on battle with the White Lotus Sect's Eastern Gate Orchid consuming considerable stamina, seemed more likely to be successfully challenged.
Many thought so, and therefore, challengers quickly stepped onto the arena to challenge Fang Yu.
"Please enlighten me."
[Ren Feiang: 810/810.]
An 800 health martial artist, not even worth his attention.
With a slight movement, he transformed into a blur charging forward.
Ren Feiang clearly did not expect Fang Yu, as a renowned expert and strongman, to disregard martial virtue.
Before he could react, he had already been struck by Fang Yu in the chest.
A white powder exploded upon impact, and Ren Feiang felt an unstoppable strange force slam into his chest, throwing him off the arena instantly, crashing to the ground heavily.
This palm's power prevented him from getting up for a while, and by the time he could stand, he could only regretfully watch Fang Yu, who was saluting with his fist and then turning to leave.
Unable to bear this humiliation, he confidently climbed the stage, only to be knocked down in an instant by Fang Yu's thunderous strike.
This terrifying strange force, with one move sending someone off the arena?
Even the previous Eastern Gate Orchid wasn't this ruthless.
With all challengers below the arena subdued by Fang Yu, even Hei Ao was a bit dizzy.
What's going on, how did this guy suddenly become so powerful?
Just now, he thought Fang Yu had just managed to wear down Eastern Gate Orchid's stamina and barely succeeded with a slightly stronger strength.
Now it seemed, that wasn't the case.
This guy appeared to be hiding his strength and truly powerful.
Something's wrong! Very wrong!
As if confirming Hei Ao's suspicion, several more went up onto the stage, but none could even touch Fang Yu, swiftly defeated by his thunderous might.
In terms of efficiency, he was even faster than [Soul Stealing Hammer] He Bashan next door.
