An Unfair Contest! The Two Martial Arts Schools Join Forces Against Them! Zheng Mengyang, Qin Shuqin!

This late-stage Body Tempering Realm disciple was named Yang Feng, and Su Mo had some impression of him.

It was said that when he had first come to train at Guande Martial Arts School, he had already been at the peak of the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Only recently had he broken through to the late stage.

By sending out Yang Feng, Second Senior Sister Ao Lingyu naturally intended to suppress Changchun Martial Arts School's momentum. After all, this was Guande Martial Arts School's home ground.

Yang Feng, a late-stage Body Tempering Realm cultivator, surpassed Changchun Martial Arts School's peak middle-stage Body Tempering Realm disciple in both strength and realm. After only a brief exchange, that disciple from Changchun Martial Arts School could only admit defeat helplessly.

Changchun Martial Arts School's master, Zhou Changchun, was not surprised by this.

Qiufeng Martial Arts School finally made its move as well. Its master, Zeng Qiufeng, likewise sent out a late-stage Body Tempering Realm disciple—one of the school's elite disciples.

On Guande Martial Arts School's side, the victorious Yang Feng did not step down to rest. Clearly, the battle he had just fought had barely drained him.

The battle began again. Both were in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, their force qi tearing through the air as Yang Feng and the Qiufeng Martial Arts School disciple fought in a deadlock, neither able to gain the upper hand. In the end, Yang Feng of Guande Martial Arts School relied on an unusual move to stagger his opponent backward, narrowly and arduously claiming victory.

Yang Feng did not dare be complacent after winning. He chose to step down and rest, having already secured two consecutive victories.

Senior Brother Liu Feiliang and Second Senior Sister Ao Lingyu were very pleased with Yang Feng's performance. As he stepped down to rest, they sent Ye Zongsheng into the ring.

Ye Zongsheng's cultivation was not weak either; he was in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

"Ye Zongsheng has it rough."

Su Mo watched and kept shaking his head. Other than the five great geniuses and Yang Feng, Guande Martial Arts School practically had no other particularly powerful disciples.

Ye Zongsheng had entered the ring to buy Yang Feng time to rest and recover.

Yet even so, the martial arts school higher-ups still did not send Su Mo into the ring.

Changchun Martial Arts School cared nothing for that and directly sent out a late-stage Body Tempering Realm disciple.

This made Liu Feiliang and Ao Lingyu frown slightly.

Luo Lianbo sighed softly. Ye Zongsheng was bound to lose.

Lin Yutong, meanwhile, remained utterly quiet.

Sure enough, after just three simple moves, Ye Zongsheng was nearly unable to fend off the attacks and was swiftly knocked out of the ring.

Helplessly, Yang Feng could only take the stage again, because Qiufeng Martial Arts School had no intention whatsoever of sending out another disciple.

By now, it was already obvious: Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School were joining forces to target Guande Martial Arts School.

So long as a Guande Martial Arts School disciple entered the ring, the two schools would take turns targeting them and knocking them out. But once a disciple from either Changchun Martial Arts School or Qiufeng Martial Arts School was on the stage, the other side would hold its forces in check.

"Despicable and shameless!"

This conduct made Second Senior Sister Ao Lingyu curse outright. If Meridian Opening Realm Martial Artists had been allowed to participate in this martial tournament, she would absolutely have taken the stage. What Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School were doing was simply bullying them beyond all measure.

"Junior Sister Ao, calm down."

Although Senior Brother Liu Feiliang was also exceedingly furious, he remained extremely calm and did not act on impulse.

In the arena, Yang Feng faced the late-stage Body Tempering Realm disciple sent out by Changchun Martial Arts School. Though this disciple was quite strong, Yang Feng was still a notch superior. Relying on the Bone Forging Black Dragon Leg, he narrowly defeated his opponent in a single strike.

With that, Yang Feng achieved three consecutive victories.

But the expenditure had been too great, and he could only step down to rest.

Because Qiufeng Martial Arts School directly sent an elite disciple into the ring.

An elite disciple whose cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Clearly, Qiufeng Martial Arts School was beginning to turn up the pressure.

"An elite disciple is already at the peak of the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm?"

Among Guande Martial Arts School's disciples, Jin Guangqing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze somewhat grave. This elite disciple from Qiufeng Martial Arts School was at the same cultivation level as him—the peak of the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Though they were in the same realm, there could still be gaps in strength.

And beneath the stage, Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School still had several elite disciples who had yet to take the field.

"Cao Xuanchu and Mo Chengjun haven't taken the stage yet. When they do, I'll deal with them."

A black-clad young man beside Jin Guangqing spoke softly. He had delicate features and a lean build. His cultivation was equal to Jin Guangqing's, yet his aura was three parts stronger.

This black-clad young man was Zheng Mengyang, one of Guande Martial Arts School's five great geniuses.

"No. You will most likely be unable to handle the two of them. Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue aren't here. You deal with Cao Xuanchu; leave Mo Chengjun to me."

Beside Jin Guangqing and Zheng Mengyang stood a tall woman with an elegant bearing.

She wore a long, white martial robe. Her posture was straight and graceful, her legs long and slender, and she possessed an air of scholarly refinement and intelligence. This woman was Qin Shuqin.

Like Jin Guangqing and Zheng Mengyang, she was one of Guande Martial Arts School's five great geniuses.

Faced with the geniuses of Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School, they did not dare let down their guard.

Jin Guangqing stood to the side, a strange look in his eyes. You've picked the strongest ones already, so what am I supposed to do?

Zheng Mengyang and Qin Shuqin naturally meant for Jin Guangqing to handle the elite disciples from those two martial arts schools.

Next, as Qiufeng Martial Arts School's elite disciple stepped into the ring—

Changchun Martial Arts School made no move, once again placing the pressure on Guande Martial Arts School. Yang Feng had won and stepped down to rest, so another disciple had to take his place.

"Senior Brother, let Su Mo take the stage."

Luo Lianbo spoke up, hoping Eldest Senior Brother would let Su Mo take the field. Even if Su Mo could not win, he could at least wear down this elite disciple from Qiufeng Martial Arts School.

Liu Feiliang glanced at the quiet Lin Yutong. Seeing that she said nothing, he slowly shook his head. "Junior Brother Luo, no rush. Wait a little longer."

Then Liu Feiliang sent Sha Pengxiao into the ring.

This left Luo Lianbo helpless.

Clearly, Eldest Senior Brother and the others still did not think highly of Su Mo.

Su Mo, however, remained calm, his attention fixed on the battle in the arena. Sha Pengxiao's appearance, bluntly put, was merely to buy Yang Feng more time to rest and recover.

Sha Pengxiao was slightly stronger than Ye Zongsheng, but not by much. In the end, under the assault of this elite disciple from Qiufeng Martial Arts School, he too was defeated and conceded after only a few moves.

There was no helping it. The gap in strength was simply too vast.

Sha Pengxiao was only at the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, while this elite disciple of Qiufeng Martial Arts School, though he had only recently broken through to the peak late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, was still a genuine Martial Artist at the peak late stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Defeating Sha Pengxiao was only natural.

With Sha Pengxiao's defeat, Yang Feng took the field again, while Changchun Martial Arts School stayed put and chose to play dead.

This infuriated Second Senior Sister Ao Lingyu beyond measure.

Yet there was nothing she could do.

For the next match, she would send out one of the martial arts school's geniuses.

Very soon, battle was on the verge of erupting in the arena. Yang Feng faced this elite disciple from Qiufeng Martial Arts School. Though Yang Feng's combat strength was considered outstanding within the Body Tempering Realm, his opponent's cultivation was higher, and unlike Yang Feng, he had not endured round after round of attrition, even if Yang Feng had rested and recovered somewhat.

Still, he was ultimately no match for the elite disciple at full strength.

Thus, after several dozen moves, Yang Feng suffered a regretful defeat.

Yang Feng had been confident that without the earlier losses, if he had faced this elite disciple from Qiufeng Martial Arts School directly, he would have had an excellent chance of winning. But alas...

With Yang Feng's defeat—

"Jin Guangqing, you go!"

Second Senior Sister Ao Lingyu could no longer hold herself back and directly sent out Jin Guangqing, one of Guande Martial Arts School's five great geniuses.

Jin Guangqing's entrance set off cheers from the crowd below. Anyone with eyes could see that Guande Martial Arts School had been singled out this time. One careless misstep, and they would suffer a crushing defeat, their reputation plunging.

"Go, Jin Guangqing!"

"Jin Guangqing will win!"

Seeing Jin Guangqing take the field, the senior brothers and sisters of Guande Martial Arts School were greatly invigorated. They shouted encouragement after encouragement, cheering him on. Now that their martial arts school's genius had stepped out, what did Qiufeng Martial Arts School and Changchun Martial Arts School have to answer with?

The martial arts school's disciples had immense faith in and admiration for their five great geniuses, believing that they would not lose.

"Jin Guangqing?"

Su Mo knew of him. He was said to be one of Guande Martial Arts School's five great geniuses, his strength having reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. He practiced the Thunder Forging Body Fist, and his raw power was exceptionally formidable.

Su Mo continued waiting, wondering when it would be his turn to take the field...
