Back to maneuver arena number ten…

After Zheng-Fu defeated his first opponent, the other maneuver pairs continued to take turns in the arena until it was Zheng-Fu's turn again. However, his opponent surrendered, so Zheng-Fu won without having to fight. The reason for the surrender was that the opponent had a lower energy level than Zheng-Fu's first maneuver pair, so he didn't see the point in trying.

"Why do I only encounter low-ranked opponents? Sigh! I intended to use this opportunity to cultivate and adjust the Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill. But seeing this, I'm so bored!" Zheng-Fu was unspeakably frustrated. He had deliberately joined this maneuver to face strong opponents. However, all his past opponents and those he was about to face were weak. He hadn't even had a chance to use more than seven parts of his energy in any fight.

"Or should I have everyone come up to the arena at the same time? Ah! That sounds interesting. But if I do that and beat everyone, I'll become the center of attention. Sigh! I want this round of the maneuver to end soon. By the third round, I should meet someone really strong!"

One shichen passed…

Zheng-Fu's battle was finally halfway through. The remaining opponents were all ranked two hundred and above. Zheng-Fu had high hopes for these disciples.

"Your name is Zheng-Fu, right? Your battles seem a bit boring. I suspect your opponents weren't very challenging, were they? In the next round, I'll wipe that tired look off your face and turn it into one of despair instead because I'll be the one to defeat you!" While Zheng-Fu was waiting for the next pairing, a young man walked up and taunted him.

Ah!

"If you can do that, I'll be very grateful. But I think someone at the ninth level of the Heavenly Root stage like you shouldn't be able to defeat me. Even Guang-Hong, at the first level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage, couldn't. So why are you so confident?" Zheng-Fu turned to look at the young man and replied with an irritated smile.

"You!"

Huh!

"Even though my energy level hasn't reached the Heavenly Foundation Building stage, I've defeated cultivators at its first level with ease. So, defeating you won't be difficult. But never mind—there's no point in saying this now. Just wait for the maneuver arena!"

Although the young man was startled by Zheng-Fu's words, he tried to act normal because he didn't want to lose face. After finishing his statement, he immediately walked away, knowing he might not be able to control his emotions if he stayed longer.

"Take it easy. I'll wait until then!" Zheng-Fu didn't want to argue with someone who was all talk. He was tired of dealing with countless arrogant outer disciples throughout the day.

Whirr!!!

Ah!

"The next round of the maneuver has been matched. Who's my opponent? Huh!!! Isn't it that boastful guy from earlier?" At that moment, Zheng-Fu's identification badge vibrated, indicating his next opponent. It turned out to be the same young man who had spoken to him earlier.

The young man also received the notification. Realizing that Zheng-Fu was his opponent, he smiled smugly before turning away to wait for the maneuver to begin after the current pair finished their battle.

In a dark corner near the maneuver arena area…

"Report, Master! The target has been confirmed. It's definitely this kid who caused the Heaven Command Stone to emit a deep red glow. His energy level has also risen shockingly since he first joined the Heaven Command Sect!" the young man reported through a communication jade to someone.

"Very good! Your next mission is to bring this kid to our organization by any means. But be cautious—don't let the academy elders catch you. If you're caught, you know what the punishment will be!" a male voice responded from the communication jade, giving further instructions.

"Yes, sir, Master! I'll do my best and ensure no mistakes!" The young man replied politely before storing the communication jade in his dimensional ring and returning to arena number ten.

Back to maneuver arena number ten…

"Next pair, Outer Disciple Zheng-Fu and Outer Disciple Mou-Chen. You two, get in the arena!"

Thump! Thump!

After the referee announced their names, both Zheng-Fu and his opponent jumped onto the arena simultaneously.

"We meet again! I already told you that you'd lose to me. But if you surrender and agree to follow me, I'll make sure your life is filled with good things!" As soon as he entered the arena, the young man spoke with arrogance and confidence.

"Ah! I believe I've already said this—if you think you can do it, then try!" Zheng-Fu replied casually. However, he felt something unusual about the young man, as though he were a different person than before.

"I gave you a chance, but since you've chosen the path of death, I, Mou-Chen, will deliver it!"

[Release the Savage Body Seal]

Woooom!!!

[Savage Body Armor Aura Skill]

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, Mou-Chen's energy level surged from the ninth level of the Heavenly Root stage to the late third level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage. It was evident that his true energy level was far beyond what it initially seemed.

"Is it possible to increase energy levels in the blink of an eye? No! This isn't an energy boost—it's a release of sealed energy!" Zheng-Fu observed in amazement as his opponent's energy level rose dramatically.

"That's right! Now you understand if my words were true or not!" Mou-Chen smiled smugly, clearly proud of the transformation.

"Hmm! So, you've been hiding your true energy all along. Is this your ultimate power? If this is your peak, I still don't think you can defeat me." Although Zheng-Fu was surprised by Mou-Chen's sudden change, he remained confident. After all, this energy level was equivalent to a cultivator at the fourth level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage, and Zheng-Fu was not afraid.

Huh!

"Even if I explained to you, it would be a waste of time. Let's test whether my energy level is just this!" Mou-Chen finally decided to show Zheng-Fu his true level of strength and energy.

Yaaaaaaaaaah!!!

[Savage Wave Wrecking Earth Stance Skill]

Whoooooooosh!!!

Groan!!!

Boooooooom!!!

The savage energy wave released by the young man was extremely intense. It could also attack over a wide range as well. More importantly, it was so fast that Zheng-Fu could not use his stance to defend in time. Luckily, he jumped to a higher place, thus escaping Mou-Chen's savage wave.

"What a harsh stance! If I couldn't dodge just now, I'd probably get hurt!" Zheng-Fu felt a chill run down his spine after he managed to dodge the young man's attack. He had not expected it to be this intense and fast.

Ha ha ha!!!

"How is it!? Are you starting to understand? But I'll tell you—it's not over yet!"

[Savage Wave Wrecking Earth Stance Skill]

Groooooan!!!

Huh!

"It's strong and fast, but it can't hurt me anyway!"

[Immortal Golden Bell Qi Armor Skill]

Whoooooooosh!!!

Bong!!!

At first, Zheng-Fu struggled to counter the young man's swift attacks. But now, he would not let it happen again. He then used his strongest defensive stance against the young man's savage wave.

"Think you can block it? You have good skills too! But how long can that yellow bell withstand my attacks?" The young man was not worried at all because he still had plenty of energy left to release more savage waves.

[Savage Wave Wrecking Earth Stance Skill]

Groooooan!!!

Boooooooom!!!

Boooooooom!!!

Zheng-Fu's battle with Mou-Chen caught the attention of the outer disciples surrounding arena number ten, as well as those in other arenas. The fight was so intense that it rivaled the battles of medium-rank inner disciples. Although Zheng-Fu had not yet used an attack skill, his defense skill was captivating.

"Look at the fight in arena number ten! They're battling fiercely. By the way, how did Mou-Chen become so powerful!?"

"That's right! I trained with him before, but his energy level wasn't this high. Did he hold back his energy before?"

"But Zheng-Fu is amazing too! Even though he's only defending, his defensive skill is incredible. I can feel the powerful energy from that golden bell!"

"Hmm! What kind of skill is that? I've never seen a defensive skill like that before!"

"That's right! What skill is it?"

In addition to the outer and inner disciples nearby, even those further away were drawn to Zheng-Fu's maneuver. Many people hiding in the shadows were also watching him with interest. What especially caught their attention was the defensive skill Zheng-Fu used.

[Savage Wave Wrecking Earth Stance Skill]

Groooooan!!!

Boooooooom!!!

Boooooooom!!!

Ha ha ha!!!

"How is it? Will you give up or not? If you still won't surrender, then I'll increase the attack energy even more!" the young man said with a very satisfied laugh. In truth, his task was to convince Zheng-Fu to join the organization, but if Zheng-Fu refused, he was to kill him. However, the young man had decided to kill Zheng-Fu from the beginning, believing that Zheng-Fu would later become a thorn in his side.

"Huh! It's just a dog's poop wave. Even if you release more than this, you can't do anything to me!"

"How dare you! Did you dare call my Savage Wave Wrecking Earth Stance Skill a dog poop's wave!? What a foul mouth! Fine! This time, I won't hold back anymore!"

[Release the Savage Body Seal; Second Step]

Boooooooom!!!

Huh?

"This energy is beyond the threshold!!!"
