Final Round

When they saw it was Zhang Yunhao, many people in the audience started to mock him. Since the Patriarch and the elders were present, no one dared to shout anything aloud, but they were all inwardly sneering at Zhang Yunhao's overestimation of his own abilities, believing he would be defeated immediately.

Zhang Yunyi was even more certain as he said, "Three moves, at most three moves and he'll be defeated. He's just a useless person who doesn't know his limits."

"Falling to the ground means losing..."

On the stage, the referee announced the rules and then shouted, "Begin!"

The young man in blue motioned contemptuously, "Come on!"

Without any wasted words, Zhang Yunhao simultaneously exerted force with both legs, lunging out like a true leopard. A gust of wind swirled around him, and then a fierce Leopard Fist, carrying the sound of wind and thunder, shot directly towards the young man in blue's chest.

The young man in blue didn't expect Zhang Yunhao's charge to be so terrifying. Startled, he hastily crossed his arms in front of him for defense.

With a heavy BOOM, the young man in blue fell off the stage like a kite with a broken string, retreating repeatedly until he crashed into the first row of spectators before stopping. His arms, which had blocked Zhang Yunhao's punch, were bruised and red, still trembling!

"How is this possible?"

The crowd was stunned. Everyone had expected the fight to end quickly, but no one had anticipated Zhang Yunhao would be the victor. Even less expected was that he would knock the young man in blue off the stage with a single punch. Zhang Yunyi's expression was as if he had seen a ghost!

"Thank you for the match."

Zhang Yunhao ignored the reactions around him, cupped his fists, and walked off the stage back to his seat. Outwardly calm, he was inwardly quite pleased!

The young man in blue's face turned from green to white, and soon, filled with shame, he fled, clearly too embarrassed to stay.

The other contestants also looked at Zhang Yunhao in surprise. They could naturally see that while the young man in blue had been careless, Zhang Yunhao's strength was genuinely impressive.

Zhang Yuntang thought of something and walked up to Zhang Yunhao, speaking sinisterly, "Zhang Yunhao, you're quite cunning. To hide your strength, you deliberately pretended to be useless. Now you're coming out to fight me for a spot?"

Zhang Yunhao offered no explanation, merely saying, "That spot is mine."

Zhang Yuntang snorted, "Dream on. Don't think you're so great just because you hid some strength. You don't have enough resources, no good techniques. What gives you the right to fight me? You'll soon know what despair is!"

Zhang Yunhao smiled and said with great certainty, "A dog, no matter how much it eats, will never be a match for a fierce tiger!"

"You... Zhang Yunhao, if you don't want to live, I'll grant your wish. I will beat you to death on the stage and step over your corpse to join the Heavenly Fist Sect!"

Zhang Yuntang gritted his teeth in anger, his killing intent surging like never before. Before, he had wanted to kill Zhang Yunhao as easily as crushing an ant, without much malice. But now, seeing Zhang Yunhao so 'scheming' to snatch the spot from him, his killing intent boiled over.

At the same time, Liang Dong, from the Heavenly Fist Sect, who was known for his Frost Fist, nodded in praise. "The disciples your Zhang Family cultivates are indeed excellent. That young man's Five Forms Fist just now was full of spirit and form, truly outstanding."

"Not at all, not at all."

The Patriarch and the Great Elder responded with smiles, though their expressions held a hint of awkwardness, as everyone knew the real situation.

The Great Elder's fist clenched secretly. He and his son had thought of the same thing. This brat was so 'scheming.' He should have killed him back then.

However, in front of everyone, the Great Elder couldn't do anything. Moreover, he didn't need to do anything, because he had already done what needed to be done!

Besides, the Great Elder had confidence in his son. All these elaborate schemes were to ensure he wouldn't be eliminated, as battles were unpredictable.

"Zhang Yunhao could hide for so long, there must be someone colluding with him. After this matter is over, I will find them all and kill them!"

A fierce glint flashed in the Great Elder's eyes. For his son's future, he had risked everything, even agreeing to the Patriarch's harsh demands. Otherwise, why would the Patriarch have turned a blind eye for so long?

At the same time, the Great Elder had used up one of his most important favors. After paying such a price, anyone who dared to obstruct him would die!

Lei Nu, the Silver Constable sitting nearby, saw Zhang Yunhao's performance and nodded, smiling at Nangong Ru behind him, "Little Ru, the young man you fancied has both strength and cunning, doesn't he?"

Nangong Ru said, "He's a talent, but he hasn't yet realized how cruel this world is. Today, I'll let him understand, and then repay his kindness."

Lei Nu nodded and said, "Don't worry, this boy saved you. I won't let anything happen to him, and I'll give him an even better future!"

Then, the competition continued, and four spots were quickly decided. Afterwards, Zhang Yunhao went onto the stage again. This time, his opponent did not dare to be careless, but under Zhang Yunhao's fierce offense, he only lasted for more than ten seconds before being defeated.

Last time, it could still be attributed to the opponent's carelessness, but this time, it completely showcased Zhang Yunhao's strength, making everyone realize that he was truly qualified to compete for a spot in the Heavenly Fist Sect!

This left everyone with complex emotions. Those like Zhang Yunyi were naturally grinding their teeth, feeling like clowns, utterly humiliated. However, many people began to secretly cheer for Zhang Yunhao in their hearts.

With the Great Elder's domineering and predetermined spots, most of the Zhang Family members were angry but dared not speak. Now that Zhang Yunhao had emerged to compete with Zhang Yuntang for a spot, everyone naturally sided with him, hoping he would slap the Great Elder hard and foil his schemes!

If they weren't afraid of the Great Elder's retaliation, some people would have already been loudly cheering for Zhang Yunhao!

Finally, Zhang Yunhao and Zhang Yuntang faced each other!

"Brat, I'll let you know what despair is now! Witness the advanced martial art my father obtained, the Surging Waves Fist! Surging Tides!"

Zhang Yuntang's face was filled with killing intent. Without any extra words, he threw a punch like a raging sea wave towards Zhang Yunhao.

"Leopard Fist!"

Zhang Yunhao did not dodge. True Qi condensed on his fist, colliding directly with the opponent's fierce attack. He wanted to know the gap in their power at this moment.

With a heavy BOOM, a circular wave of energy appeared where their fists met. Zhang Yuntang remained motionless, but Zhang Yunhao retreated a step, his right hand's muscles vibrating rapidly to neutralize the opponent's force.

Although at a disadvantage, Zhang Yunhao's eyes were filled with ecstasy. Just one step back! This meant there was almost no gap between his strength and Zhang Yuntang's!

Of course, purely in terms of the amount of True Qi, Zhang Yunhao was still quite a distance from Zhang Yuntang. However, the quality of his True Qi was higher. After all, his True Qi was cultivated from an immortal-level martial art. Equivalent True Qi was at least two to three times stronger, or even more, than others'.

Therefore, such a miracle had occurred.

Yes, it was a miracle. It must be known that Zhang Yuntang had broken through a full two years before Zhang Yunhao. Moreover, he was the Great Elder's son, so he certainly didn't lack elixirs, and his cultivation was not low. Zhang Yunhao had only broken through seven days ago, and he was already almost on par. What else could this be if not a miracle?
