The Master of All-Heavens Systems

Chapter 96: Nothing Special

"Such arrogance!"Hearing Xiao Feng's challenge, "If anyone disagrees, come and fight!", the Grand Elder snorted heavily. "Such an arrogant fellow, stirring up discord among the family disciples, should be severely punished!""Mutual competition and improvement, how can that be called discord? Grand Elder, you are exaggerating."Xiao Zhan chuckled and glanced at the Grand Elder before continuing, "Besides, didn't the Grand Elder suspect him of cheating? Isn't he proving his strength now? Surely, actual combat cannot be faked, can it?"At this point, Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Feng standing proudly below the platform, a flash of admiration in his eyes, secretly praising, "This Xiao Feng is steady and calm, an excellent material to be molded!"Xiao Feng's challenge also made the family disciples below the platform tense up.In the family's coming-of-age test, challenging others with the phrase "If anyone disagrees, come and fight!" was unprecedented. For a moment, the family disciples looked at each other, eager to try but unsure if the family head would permit it."I allow it!"Seeing that Xiao Feng wanted to prove himself, Xiao Zhan naturally had to give him this opportunity and immediately agreed.Standing on the platform, Xiao Zhan looked around at the crowd and said loudly, "From now on, during the coming-of-age test, we will add a new rule: Anyone who is dissatisfied with another's results can issue a challenge.""I disagree! I want to challenge him!"As soon as Xiao Zhan's words fell, Xiao Ning, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately jumped out.In Xiao Ning's eyes, Xiao Feng was nothing but a waste. A waste that he had always stepped on to showcase his own superiority. Xiao Ning never believed that Xiao Feng could break through; he simply couldn't believe that Xiao Feng had reached the eighth stage of Dou Qi.With the family head allowing challenges, how could Xiao Ning hold back? He immediately challenged Xiao Feng."Xiao Feng, you waste! I'll expose your true nature!"Xiao Ning leaped out, standing before Xiao Feng, pointing at him and shouting angrily, "Xiao Feng, I will show you that true strength is not achieved through cheating.""Want to fight? Then fight! What's with all the nonsense?"Xiao Feng sneered, beckoning Xiao Ning with a finger, "Come on! Watch me take you down in one move!""Bastard!"Xiao Ning was clearly enraged by Xiao Feng's dismissive gesture. With a furious roar, Xiao Ning leaped forward, his hand forming a knife, and chopped down towards Xiao Feng.This was the Mountain Splitting Palm, a mid-level Huang-tier battle technique, requiring at least a fifth-stage Dou Qi to learn!At the level below Dou Zhe, there weren't many combat techniques available. After all, this stage mainly focused on laying a solid foundation to quickly advance to the Dou Zhe stage.Therefore, the battle techniques at this stage were simple and direct, each move purely an explosion of Dou Qi, a straightforward combat style."Whoosh..."Xiao Ning's palm strike, fueled by his full seven-stage Dou Qi, brought forth a fierce wind, even making Xiao Feng's hair flutter. But Xiao Feng's expression remained unchanged.No surprise, no tension, no panic.Facing the oncoming palm strike, Xiao Feng's face was calm, and he softly uttered a few words, "Nothing special!"In an instant, Xiao Feng moved.His right hand clenched into a fist, gathered at his waist, a faint glow of Dou Qi lighting up on his fist, making it seem as if his entire arm was covered in a weak luminescence.With a step forward, his right fist shot out from his waist like a dragon breaking free from its shackles, a dragon soaring into the deep."Boom!"A heavy explosion sounded.The dragon-like fist, carrying a decisive force, shattering all obstacles, roared forward. The immense power directly dispersed Xiao Ning's "Mountain Splitting Palm," and the remaining force continued, heavily striking Xiao Ning's chest."Ah..."With a scream, Xiao Ning was sent flying several meters away, landing heavily on the ground."Ah...""How is this possible?""Defeated in one move?"Seeing Xiao Feng defeat Xiao Ning with one strike, the entire training ground was in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.Raising their eyes to the proud figure standing ahead, at this moment, all the Xiao family disciples felt a storm brewing in their hearts.While test results could be accused of cheating, this strike that defeated Xiao Ning, who had a seven-stage Dou Qi, was solid evidence of Xiao Feng's strength.Xiao Feng truly had an eighth-stage Dou Qi!It was hard to believe, yet they had to believe it."Scoundrel! How dare you hit so hard?"Seeing Xiao Feng strike Xiao Ning down with one blow, the Grand Elder couldn't remain seated any longer. With an angry roar, the Grand Elder leapt off the platform, sending a palm strike towards Xiao Feng."Stop!"Xiao Zhan, both shocked and furious, immediately rushed forward, but caught off guard, he couldn't intercept in time.The Grand Elder's palm strike, with its immense power, seemed like a mountain crushing down.With the strength of a Grand Dou Shi, a furious strike was immensely terrifying.No one believed that Xiao Feng could survive this strike. With his eighth-stage Dou Qi, he had no way to withstand an attack from a Grand Dou Shi; it was impossible for him to survive."Grand Elder, you're despicable!"Xiao Zhan, filled with rage and hatred, roared as a fierce lion manifested above his head, a violent force gathering in his hand.The Grand Elder had gone too far. Such a promising talent as Xiao Feng was about to be destroyed by his hands. How could Xiao Zhan endure this?"Eh?"Just as Xiao Zhan was about to strike back at the Grand Elder, he suddenly noticed something unusual.When the Grand Elder's palm strike came down, Xiao Feng's face remained calm, as if this terrifying strike couldn't cause him any panic.As if he had everything under control, Xiao Feng moved just as the Grand Elder's strike was about to hit, at the moment when the Grand Elder's force was spent and he couldn't change his move.Crouching down, tucking his body, and kicking off with his feet, Xiao Feng rolled away like a spinning top.Xiao Feng's evasion, whether in timing, direction, or speed, was impeccable, as if he had practiced it countless times.In fact, he had. In the "Taixu Fantasy Realm," Xiao Feng had battled almost every family member. Especially against several Grand Dou Shi level experts, Xiao Feng had fought them dozens of times.Although he lost every time, his experience in dealing with them was now quite rich."Boom!"The Grand Elder's palm strike landed heavily, causing a violent tremor that shook the entire training ground. The Grand Dou Shi's power terrified all the family disciples.However, the strike missed.Covered in dust, Xiao Feng looked rather disheveled. But at this moment, no one cared about his appearance. They were shocked by the fact that he had dodged the Grand Elder's strike."Good boy!"Xiao Zhan secretly praised, stepping forward to block Xiao Feng, as the furious lion roared to the heavens."Grand Elder, how dare you!"Blinding golden light burst forth, as Xiao Zhan, filled with rage, threw a punch. The golden light flashed, transforming into a roaring lion, crashing towards the Grand Elder."Boom!"A tremendous shockwave erupted, sending the Grand Elder flying with a muffled grunt.
