Although Liao Qingyang was inherently proud, he realized after the bout with Li Feng that this opponent was not weak.

Compared to the Wudang's newcomer Luo Qingyun, Liao Qingyang became famous quite early, making a name for himself ten years ago, even entering the top ten of the national martial arts tournament. If it weren't for his opponent in that match being a rare genius of that year, resulting in both of them suffering mutual destruction,

he wouldn't have stopped at the semifinals.

With rich combat experience and ten years of honing his skills, Liao Qingyang was by no means comparable to a fledgling rookie. The flaw exposed by Li Feng was also caught by Liao Qingyang.

Ha.

Intentionally exposing a flaw to me.

Interesting.

Liao Qingyang sneered inwardly but didn't let the opportunity pass, deciding to see what other cards Li Feng had.

Liao Qingyang's thoughts flashed, and he moved laterally with his footwork, suddenly unleashing the Tai Chi, which primarily uses Power Control. The power was seamlessly integrated between releasing and withholding, giving a sense of fluidity that prompted some elders from the surrounding sects in the audience to praise loudly.

"Liao Qingyang from Wudang seems to have advanced again."

"In the national martial arts tournament ten years ago, Liao Qingyang fought to mutual destruction with a genius from Kunlun, a battle that left many in awe and lamentation."

"Indeed, if they hadn't met in the quarterfinals, both of them might have had the potential to contend for the top three. Later, that Kunlun kid was directly recruited into the Ancient Martial World, yet Liao Qingyang rejected the offer and returned to Wudang, disappearing for ten years."

"Hmm, I wonder what Liao Qingyang was thinking; that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

On the ring, Liao Qingyang's swift transition from defense to attack momentarily stunned Li Feng.

This Liao Qingyang is indeed not average; although the flaw was intentionally exposed by Li Feng, Liao Qingyang's counterattack came fiercely and overwhelmingly, akin to a stormy sea that left no room for resistance.

Li Feng let out a slight hum, seeing Liao Qingyang's aggressive assault coming without retreating. Although the platform was large, the fight was not for territory but for momentum.

If he retreated, he would fall into Liao Qingyang's incessant offensive. Wudang's Tai Chi emphasizes smooth and continuous flow.

Once the opponent has the initiative, it's not easy to regain the upper hand. Previously, he had unsealed the Eight Extraordinary Meridians at the Xiang Family, but it took considerable effort to reseal them later.

After all, the War God Power within him was overwhelmingly malevolent, not only intimidating enemies but also harming his own internal organs. Unless Li Feng could control the tyrannical War God Power within, letting it roam freely would be more than his meridians could bear.

The War God Power, in particular, was supremely aggressive, involuntarily accelerating blood flow. In the short term, Li Feng could suppress it, but if it went out of control, he might lose consciousness and become a fierce beast.

If the opponent gained the initiative, he would have to release it again.

That would be unfavorable.

Fortunately, Li Feng had purposefully exposed a flaw and was not unprepared. When Liao Qingyang sensed Li Feng's counterattack, a slight smile appeared on his lips, as expected.

Li Feng was still a bit naive.

Dare to expose a flaw but still want to control the situation, did you think I, Liao Qingyang, was a nonentity?

Tai Chi is not just about defense.

True Tai Chi integrates offense and defense, redirecting the opponent's force to amplify one's own power.

During his decade at Wudang, he wasn't just recuperating but also refining his state of mind; now he's long since crossed into that realm.

Beyond the realm of Grandmasters.

It is called Xuan.

Liao Qingyang adhered to Li Feng's arm, preventing Li Feng from releasing his power, while simultaneously using Li Feng's power against him.

Li Feng only felt a strong force pushing him from the front, like a mountain and a tsunami, making it impossible to resist.

Li Feng suddenly found himself in a tough situation; though he knew Tai Chi's Power Control, he was not as specialized as Liao Qingyang, who was Wudang's foremost expert in Tai Chi.

Unable to immediately dissipate the power surging towards him, he could only tap with his toes and fly back. Liao Qingyang curled his lips and tapped his toes.

Li Feng landed, stumbling backward, but Liao Qingyang immediately followed up.

An invisible, circular force enveloped him again, giving Li Feng a stifling feeling.

Li Feng was frustrated with being unable to exert power and constantly suppressed by the opponent, forcibly suppressing the urge to unseal.

Gripping his back teeth, Li Feng channeled strength to his back, his spine suddenly arched like a bow, lunging fiercely toward Liao Qingyang.

Li Feng planned to use force to break technique.

Seeing this, Liao Qingyang was delighted, wondering if Li Feng was out of tricks. Ha.

Thinking inwardly, Liao Qingyang formed a circle with his arms, and an invisible airflow swirled before him, forming a vortex that resembled a Tai Chi Diagram, instantly drawing Li Feng in.

"Tai Chi gives birth to Two Forms, Two Forms give birth to Four Phenomena, and Four Phenomena give birth to Eight Diagrams."

The Tai Chi Diagram before Liao Qingyang seemed to carry a powerful pulling force, causing Li Feng to be sucked into it.

"It's over."

Liao Qingyang suddenly moved his hands like twin dragons emerging from the sea, striking the absorbed Li Feng, causing him to fly backward instantly.

"A true Tai Chi Diagram."

"Indeed, Wudang's foremost student lives up to the reputation."

Many exclaimed in admiration.

"What?"

Xiao Xi's face changed slightly. Li Feng was completely manipulated by Liao Qingyang, this was too strong.

"Senior Brother, this Liao Qingyang is really formidable." Huang Shuyao also took a deep breath; although she didn't get along with Li Feng, she knew how powerful Li Feng was.

In the previous selection match, he had a draw with Hua Wushuang. Though her senior brother didn't use full power in that match, it was still impressive.

Besides, her master had also said, Li Feng was not a grandmaster, yet akin to a grandmaster.

He said this because to be a grandmaster is not purely about strength but also about understanding and insight, like her senior brother. Though known externally as a half-step grandmaster, his insight was sufficient, just lacking experience.

This half-step grandmaster label was humble.

"Yes, I've heard of Liao Qingyang from Wudang. Ten years ago, he was a martial arts prodigy, Wudang's top student, who had the strength to take the crown, but that same year, there was another prodigy too. They met in the quarterfinals, ending in mutual destruction."

"Afterward, Liao Qingyang retreated to Wudang for a decade, with no news. Who would've thought he'd show up at the national martial arts tournament today?"

As Hua Wushuang spoke, his eyes sparkled with inspiration, clearly stirred by a fighting spirit.

In literature, there is no first; in martial arts, there is no second.

Being the senior disciple of the Xingyi Sect, he had reached the grandmaster's insight but still lacked practical combat experience. He saw Li Feng as a worthy opponent because of his strength, but now another challenger, Liao Qingyang, emerged.

This martial arts tournament was indeed the right one to attend.

Elsewhere, Wang Jinkun chuckled secretly, Ha, dared to spoil my plans and act defiant, a mere freeloader clinging to a woman's arm, coming to the national martial arts tournament.

How does Liao Qingyang's taste feel?

Liao Qingyang entered the national martial arts tournament with a special slot; for most participants, this was a secret, but not for Wang Jinkun.

His family was the main sponsor of this tournament, and participants stayed at their hotel,

If he couldn't even gather this intel, that would be a real failure.
