Last week, the attempt to boost the rankings failed, and Xiao Mo, after much soul-searching, felt even more pain.
What will happen this week? Xiao Mo urgently seeks everyone's recommendation votes and member clicks! He calls out with a hoarse voice, urging all the heroes and heroines to support him, so that Wu Lian can stand on the new book chart!
***********
Having suffered a hidden loss, Li Yuntian did not dare to be careless. Relying on his agile movements, he circled around Yang Kai, attacking from above and below, looking for the right moment to strike. Soon, he had landed over a dozen palm strikes on Yang Kai.
Let you be petty, let you order me to go to the Contribution Hall early in the morning to suffer, Li Yuntian felt secretly pleased, striking with great force. Each time he hit Yang Kai, there was a thudding sound, which made Su Mu, standing not far away, feel a mix of excitement and dizziness, as if he himself had struck the blows, feeling extremely satisfied.
Both combatants were at the Body Tempering stage, just starting their cultivation, and their fighting techniques were still quite basic. Moreover, Yang Kai was intentionally testing his current physical condition, which gave Li Yuntian a significant advantage.
After a bout of tea time, Yang Kai had already made up his mind. His current body was much better than before. Having achieved his goal, Yang Kai did not intend to continue纠缠 with this junior brother.
Just as Li Yuntian was about to press his advantage, he suddenly saw the originally retreating Senior Brother Yang's expression become extremely excited, like a lecherous demon seeing a naked woman. The excited look made Li Yuntian's skin crawl.
But upon closer inspection, this excitement was different from that kind of excitement. It was a cruel and bloodthirsty excitement.
Li Yuntian felt a sense of foreboding and tried to create some distance, but Yang Kai took a step forward, blocking his path like a towering mountain.
Li Yuntian jumped high to escape Yang Kai's pursuit, but Yang Kai kicked out with great force, striking Li Yuntian's waist.
A惨 call rang out, and Li Yuntian flew out like a rag bag, landing several yards away. Before he could get up, Yang Kai darted forward, squatted on Li Yuntian, and rained punches down.
Cries of pain immediately filled the air.
This sparring session ended with Li Yuntian's surrender.
At first, when Li Yuntian was being pummeled by Yang Kai, he tried to resist, but Yang Kai's attacks were relentless, as if he was willing to take any injury to deal damage.
In no time, Li Yuntian could no longer hold out. He noticed something strange: his reactions to being hit were completely different from Yang Kai's.
The more he hit Yang Kai, the more excited Yang Kai became, while the more Yang Kai hit him, the more unbearable the pain became.
Who in this world gets excited from being hit? In the end, Li Yuntian even saw Yang Kai's skin turn red, with blood surging beneath and veins bulging, looking like a madman.
Li Yuntian thought Yang Kai had really gone mad. But after the sparring ended, this senior brother returned to normal, with a kind and friendly face, even pulling him up from the ground and smiling, saying "I yield," before leaving with a broom.
He was like two different people when fighting and not fighting!
Li Yuntian's whole body ached, having taken many punches from Yang Kai. How could he not be injured?
This time, he had really lost more than he gained, and Li Yuntian felt like crying.
Others had repeatedly declined, not wanting to spar with him, but he had insisted, using the herbs he had exchanged for 20 contribution points to challenge someone, only to end up being beaten, losing the herbs, and having to deduct contribution points.
This time, he had really lost big! Was he just asking for it? Li Yuntian was filled with regret.
Su Mu and the others were also stunned. When Li Yuntian and Yang Kai started fighting, they couldn't help but cheer, celebrating Li Yuntian's successful plan and the imminent sight of Yang Kai being beaten.
Su Mu had even planned to mock Yang Kai after he was beaten into a pig's head, to relieve his pent-up frustration. But when the fight began, everyone was shocked to see that Yang Kai and Li Yuntian were evenly matched.
For a moment, Su Mu felt a bit dizzy and asked suspiciously, "What realm is Li Yuntian in?"
"Seventh layer of Body Tempering, with some primordial energy already generated in his body, but he hasn't practiced any martial techniques yet," someone beside him answered.
"What about Yang Kai?" Su Mu asked again.
"Probably the fourth layer of Body Tempering?" The tone was uncertain.
The group looked at each other in shock. A three-layer difference in strength, yet they were evenly matched. This was truly astonishing. No wonder Zhao Hu was defeated in three moves yesterday. With Yang Kai's current strength, even if Zhao Hu used his full power, he wouldn't be a match.
However, how could this rumored pushover have such strong power? If he really had this strength, why had he always lost in the past? Yang Kai had been in the sect for over three years, and had been challenged by others almost immediately after joining. From then until yesterday, he had never won, a period of over two years.
The shock for Su Mu and the others was yet to come. They thought it was already a miracle that Yang Kai could hold his own against Li Yuntian, but they never expected him to win. When Yang Kai truly defeated Li Yuntian, the group fell silent, unable to believe their eyes.
A fourth-layer Body Tempering fighter defeating a seventh-layer Body Tempering fighter was unprecedented in the history of the Lingxiao Pavilion. Could it be that the stinky dried fish had finally turned over?
Just as Su Mu was lost in thought, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw Yang Kai holding a broom, smiling warmly at him, "Junior Brother Su, if there's such a good thing next time, remember to let me know."
"You knew all along?" Su Mu's mouth twitched.
Yang Kai chuckled, "Although Junior Brother Li was hiding behind the crowd yesterday, as a senior brother, I have a good memory."
"Truly sinister!" Su Mu gritted his teeth, realizing that they had all been duped by Yang Kai.
"Mutual," Yang Kai smiled, "Oh, by the way, I can still challenge tomorrow. I have one chance every day, right? Have fun, I'll find you all tomorrow."
The group's faces immediately turned cold. From Yang Kai's words, it seemed he had developed a taste for this. Looking at Li Yuntian's current state and comparing it to their own strength, everyone shuddered, "Young Master Su, what should we do?"
Su Mu was at a loss. After all, challenges were a custom in the sect. Which disciple hadn't been challenged? Although he had connections, he didn't dare to recklessly break the sect's rules.
"Don't worry, he's probably just trying to scare you. If he really dares to challenge you, I'll make him pay."
Hearing Su Mu's words, the group felt a bit more at ease.
Yang Kai had a sudden idea. Disciples of the Lingxiao Pavilion had one challenge opportunity per day. He had never used this right before and had forgotten about it. It was only after Li Yuntian reminded him that he remembered.
Challenging once a day, even if he only won two contribution points from a regular disciple, it still added up over a month.
Moreover, cultivation should not be done in isolation. Sparring with these senior and junior brothers every day, moving around, was indeed beneficial. It didn't take much time, and he could earn contribution points, so why not?
In the end, today's challenge was the most profitable. Not only did he gain two contribution points, but he also obtained ten rare Dujidumu herbs. It was a huge gain.
If someone could bring him ten herbs every day, that would be great! Yang Kai thought to himself.
Returning to the wooden house, he took out the incense burner, lit the incense, and continued his arduous cultivation.
