C13 Sparring

Skycloud Academy, Fallen Maple Forest.

A gentle breeze blew past, blowing down countless maple leaves. It was like the ripples on the surface of a water surface, causing the maple leaves to move as if they were the blazing clouds in the evening sun.

Yang Junyi and Gong Xiuwei were ten meters apart as they looked at each other. As their gazes met, it was as if two sharp swords were clashing against each other, and a shocking fighting spirit surged. A formless pressure instantly enveloped the entire forest, and at this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"Please!"

The two of them clasped their hands and bowed.

In the next moment, the battle qi on both of their bodies revolved at the same time. Suddenly, a gale arose, as if a boulder had been dropped into a tranquil lake, setting off shocking waves. The strong waves of air spread outwards with the two of them as the center. The maple tree shook, and red leaves fell from the tree. The entire forest was dyed red, as if a sea of fire was boiling and burning.

Pow!

It was like the roar of a lion.

Yang Junyi exerted force into his legs, leaving a clear footprint on the ground. His entire body was like an arrow, piercing through the void. On the other side, Gong Xiuwei was also not willing to be outdone. Like a tiger king patrolling the forest, he charged forward with an unparalleled domineering aura.

The broadsword in his hand was pulled out and with the momentum from his speed, he smashed down towards Gong Xiuwei's face.

"Rip ~ ~ ~"

Gong Xiuwei did not care about the sound of the wind breaking as the broadsword drew in a mysterious arc. With a chuckle, he stepped forward to face the incoming attack.

"Watch closely, Mountain Crash!"

An orange streak of light exploded into the sky like a golden beam of light, transforming into a brilliant battle armor.

Dong!

The clashing of the sword armor was like a deafening drum of war.

A battle qi burst forth from Gong Xiuwei's feet. His body was like an ancient mammoth, breaking through the barrier of heaven and earth. Yang Junyi felt the blood in his chest surge upwards as the heaven and earth started to spin.

Suddenly, a sense of alarm arose in Yang Junyi's heart, as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake. All of the hairs on his body stood on end, and almost subconsciously, the protection of his shield instantly condensed.

Almost at the same moment when Yang Junyi had disappeared, a fierce fist light akin to a flood dragon rolling over the mountains and stirring the moon flashed across the air. A hint of surprise flashed across Gong Xiuwei's face. In order to kill Yang Junyi, he had not shown the slightest mercy at all.

From the instant when he failed to cover up Yang Junyi's concussion to the last thunderbolt attack, Gong Xiuwei displayed his peak strength — the strength of a bronze rank 9 cultivator!

However, such an attack was easily evaded by Yang Junyi.

"What speed is this?" Gong Xiuwei's heart surged with monstrous waves, unable to calm down for a long time. He looked at Yang Junyi with eyes filled with disbelief.

Just now, Yang Junyi's explosive speed was comparable to that of a Stage Nine Wind Cultivator. It could even be said that his speed was a level higher.

Movement techniques?

Or what?

"Earth Spear Thrust!"

Not giving Gong Xiuwei much time to be surprised, Yang Junyi, who had already regained his consciousness, instantly unleashed his battle skill. Several earthen spikes blossomed from the ground, like a hedgehog spreading its tail, brimming with a sense of danger and coldness.

Even though his heart was pounding like a tidal wave, Gong Xiuwei did not hesitate at all. His feet shifted continuously and his body danced like a butterfly, easily dodging all of the earth spikes. With a slight move of his hands, a few thick earth spikes suddenly appeared from under Yang Junyi's feet as his battle qi boiled.

Since they were both earth elementalists, their attacks were almost the same. This meant that the battle between the two of them was not gaudy at all. To Yang Junyi, whose strength was lower than Gong Xiuwei, this was an extremely aggrieved matter.

In terms of defensive power, even ten of Yang Junyi's strikes were unable to break through Gong Xiuwei's shield, whereas Gong Xiuwei only needed one or two punches to break through Yang Junyi's shield.

In terms of attack, Yang Junyi's Earthen Spear Thrust was only half the distance that Gong Xiuwei had used it. Gong Xiuwei had yet to enter Yang Junyi's attack range. Yang Junyi had already been attacked.

This was too much!

The long-ranged attacks were unable to hit him, and the close-ranged attacks could not break his defenses. Yang Junyi could only desperately dodge the speed amplification effect that was brought about by "Gravity Subversion".

Compared to Yang Junyi vomiting blood, Gong Xiu felt even more aggrieved.

Who would have imagined that a seventh phase earth element cultivator would be faster than a ninth phase wind cultivator?

After fighting for a long time, other than the first time that he took the initiative to get close to Yang Junyi, he was unable to even touch Yang Junyi's figure. This kind of feeling was as if he had been holding in his anger for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't even let out a fart, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

As a result of this, Gong Xiuwei, who was known as the Earth Element's number one expert among the ten great experts of the academy, started acting like a scoundrel in his heart, "Damn, you can run, can't you?"

His speed is comparable to a wind element cultivator, right?

I don't believe that I can't hit you. Let me see how long you can run for!

Brother doesn't believe that a Stage Seven Bronze Cultivator like you has as much battle qi as me, a Stage Nine Cultivator?

A sinister smile emerged on Gong Xiuwei's face, "When the battle qi in your body runs out, I'll knead you however I want. When that time comes, I'll see how you die!"

A bad premonition suddenly emerged within Yang Junyi's heart. As he stared at Gong Xiuwei's mischievous smile, Yang Junyi instantly guessed his intentions.

Yang Junyi's face was flushed red as he pointed angrily at his mother, "Damn it, are you trying to be shameless!?"

Pah pah pah!

Yang Junyi, who had lost his fighting spirit, was like an unarmed farmer facing a fully equipped cavalry soldier. He could only take a beating while he was still alive.

With his eyes, he could clearly see Gong Xiuwei's every move, but his body's reaction speed was unable to keep up with his pace.

Yang Junyi could only watch helplessly as Gong Xiuwei's fist, which was as big as a claypot, continued to land on his body.

Two hours later, Gong Xiuwei, with a glowing face and an extremely happy mood, left the Fallen Maple Forest in satisfaction. Only Yang Junyi was left, his face swollen like a pig's head as he moaned on the ground.

"The f * cking Gong Xiuwei doesn't have the slightest demeanor of an expert. Aiyo, my face."

Lightly stroking the injury on his face, Yang Junyi cursed, "How dare he use such a despicable method like the Dragging Character Formula when he couldn't even hit someone. How dare he be so cruel to a handsome guy who had lost his battle qi?"

"Damn, didn't you say you were looking for trouble with me? This is clearly a naked person!"

Yang Junyi's heart was filled with resentment.
