Zifeng's body was shrouded in a purple aura. His enormous body was filled with an oppressive aura.
He stared straight at Ye Xingchen, the corners of his mouth curling up into an almost imperceptible sneer.
Many members of the Shi family were gathered in the training field. Some were training their physique while others were battling. When they heard Zifeng's invitation to Ye Xingchen, their interest was piqued and they swarmed over.
"Dong!" "Dong!" "…"
The earth trembled as giant stone golems walked over.
Ye Xingchen was not in the mood to compete. He smiled, "Brother Zifeng, I think we should forget about it."
"Are you afraid?" Zifeng raised an eyebrow.
"Perhaps." Ye Xingchen was not angered.
The Shi family members were straightforward people. When they heard that Ye Xingchen was afraid, they began to discuss among themselves.
"Sigh, I heard that the elder asked Ye Xingchen to represent the Shi family. I thought he was a Heaven's Favorite, but it seems like he is afraid."
"That's very normal. Leader Violet Wind is the most outstanding genius of our clan in the past several thousand years. If it wasn't for the fact that he's over a hundred years old, an outsider like Ye Xingchen wouldn't even have a chance in this competition."
"Sigh, I wonder what the elder is thinking. This person doesn't even have the courage to fight. How can he represent us?"
The Shi family members discussed among themselves. Their words were filled with doubts about Ye Xingchen.
Zifeng said, "Brother Ye, don't be in such a hurry to reject me. We will compete in strength. You won't get hurt."
"Alright. Since Brother Zifeng has invited me twice, let's have a match." Ye Xingchen stepped onto the stage.
"Please." Zifeng gestured for Ye Xingchen to go first.
Ye Xingchen did not stand on ceremony. He walked to the stone block at the corner of the training field.
The training field was a few thousand zhang wide. In the northeast corner, there was a row of stone blocks. The lightest weight was 10,000 jin, 30,000 jin, 50,000 jin, 100,000 jin, 500,000 jin.
The Shi family members looked over, trying to guess which stone block Ye Xingchen would choose.
Ye Xingchen did not put on a show. He walked straight to the last stone block, which weighed five million kilograms.
This stone block was the same weight as the one Zifeng had thrown.
"He chose a stone block. Is he confident or arrogant?" A Shi family member murmured.
"Brother Ye, please act within your limits. Don't hurt yourself," Violetwind said.
Although he wasn't happy with Ye Xingchen, he didn't want him to get hurt. After all, before the elder changed his mind, Ye Xingchen had to represent the Stone Clan in battle. If he got hurt, the elder would blame him, and he couldn't afford to bear the consequences.
I can still lift a stone block. "Ye Xingchen laughed. Although he was unhappy with Ye Xingchen, he did not want him to get hurt. Before the elder changed his mind, Ye Xingchen still had to represent the Shi family.
"Hehe, Brother Zifeng, don't worry. I'm not that strong. I can still lift a stone block." Ye Xingchen laughed.
"I hope you won't regret it." He threw a few words and took a few steps back.
Ye Xingchen did not use his True Force. Instead, he used his physical strength to grab the stone block and lift it over his head.
Behind him, the Shi family members were dumbfounded. Even the air froze.
They did not expect that the skinny Ye Xingchen could lift a stone block with his physical strength. It was unbelievable. It was beyond their imagination.
In their memories, humans were born with weak physical bodies. They could not be compared to the Shi family. But today, they were awakened. The physical strength of humans could be compared to the Shi family, or even stronger than the Shi family.
"Unbelievable!"
"Too strong. The elder was right. Young Master Ye can definitely represent the Shi family and get into the top three."
"Yeah, I feel like he is even stronger than Leader Zifeng."
The Shi family members were amazed. They looked at Ye Xingchen with respect. The Shi family members were simple. They would not beat around the bush. They wanted to be direct and respected the strong. Ye Xingchen's strength far surpassed theirs. Naturally, they respected him.
Zifeng's expression was ugly. Hearing the words of his family members, his purple face almost turned green.
"Bang!"
Ye Xingchen threw the stone block in his hand, and the five million jin stone block turned into a meteor and smashed into a mountain not far away. The thousand-meter-tall mountain collapsed in an instant; it could be seen just how much force Ye Xingchen had used to throw it.
"Brother Zifeng, the competition is over." Ye Xingchen turned around and said dangerously.
"Hehe …"
Zifeng was a little embarrassed. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Brother Ye is a physique refiner?"
According to what he knew, there were physique refiners in the human race. They could cultivate the Indestructible Golden Body and reach the state of being indestructible.
"Physique refiner?"
Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "Not really. I mainly cultivate Qi. Physique refinement is just a casual exercise."
A casual exercise?!
Zifeng almost fainted. How could he be so strong just by a casual exercise? How was the Shi family going to live?
He did not believe Ye Xingchen's words. He thought that Ye Xingchen said it on purpose.
"Brother Ye, the path of strength is just a small path. I see that Brother Ye has already broken through to the eighth Nirvana. In a month's time, it will be the competition for the Heavenly Spring. Why don't we have a duel and let me give you some pointers?"
Zifeng lost face in the competition of strength. He wanted to regain it by giving pointers to Ye Xingchen.
"Duel …"
Ye Xingchen hesitated. He lived and ate in the Shi family. The Shi family provided him with Chalcedony and all kinds of spirit medicines to improve his cultivation. If he defeated the genius of the Shi family now, wouldn't he be biting the hand that fed him?
After giving it some thought, Ye Xingchen rejected the offer.
"Brother Ye thinks it's unfair. Don't worry, I will seal my cultivation and suppress it to the same level as you," Zifeng said.
After Zifeng's persuasion, Ye Xingchen agreed.
"When we fight later, I'll hold back and leave Zi Feng some face," Ye Xingchen thought to himself. In the fight later, he would at most use half of his battle strength.
"Buzz!"
Zifeng's body glowed with purple light. A chain visible to the naked eye coiled around Zifeng's body. As the chain sealed him, his aura weakened. He fell from the lower Void-breaking Realm to the Level Eight Nirvana Realm.
"Alright, Brother Ye, please wait for a moment. I will ask my clansmen to raise the fighting platform," Zifeng said.
"Bang!"
The sky shook. A huge fighting platform rose into the air.
"Brother Ye, please!" Zifeng said.
Ye Xingchen leaped into the air and landed on the stage.
Zifeng's body shrank rapidly until he was only about three meters tall. He jumped onto the fighting platform, causing it to tremble.
"Brother Ye, please give it your all in the duel," Zifeng said.
"Give it my all …" Ye Xingchen was conflicted. He was afraid that he would kill Zifeng with a single punch.
"Let me try!" Ye Xingchen said.
"Bring it on!" Zifeng was in high spirits. His eyes were blazing. Purple lightning coiled around his body. He looked like a god descending to the mortal world.
"Leader Zifeng's Purple Thunder Mysterious Code has made another breakthrough."
"With Leader Zifeng's current combat strength, he can even fight against a Void-breaking Realm expert."
Below the fighting platform, the members of the Shi family discussed.
"Bang!"
Ye Xingchen took a step forward. His fist broke through the air. Indestructible fist will burst out. With a fist radiance that could shatter everything, he punched at Zifeng.
He was fast. Like a beam of light, his domineering fist will arrived in front of Zifeng in an instant.
Zi Feng's expression changed, and he hurriedly attacked, unleashing all sorts of martial skills and mystic arts. However, they were all shattered by a golden fist, and in the end, this golden fist sent him flying out of the battle platform with a single punch.
"So weak. I only used thirty percent of my combat strength." Ye Xingchen stood on the fighting platform. He looked at his fist and doubted his own strength.
"Bang!"
Zifeng rushed out of the rubble. His face was covered in dust. He felt dizzy. He felt like he was dreaming. He was sent flying by a punch.
He looked at his hands and began to doubt his life.
