I Am a Genius

As mystical light flared, Ning Ye's figure vanished. Xuanyuan Long let out a roar, the edge of his fist technique shifting as he unexpectedly struck at Longbrow instead.

Longbrow had not expected that even referees could get hit, and instinctively counterattacked.

With his Immaculate Realm cultivation, the instant his thought arrived, his divine ability was already unleashed. With a boom, Xuanyuan Long was sent flying.

Fortunately, Longbrow withdrew his hand in time and had not used his full strength. Even so, Xuanyuan Long slammed heavily into the stone wall, making the entire platform tremble. The sheer force of the impact was evident.

Xuanyuan Long glared furiously at Longbrow. The two stared at each other and shouted in unison, "Why did you attack me?"

The moment the words left their mouths, they froze.

They were all cultivators; a single sentence was enough for them to understand what had happened.

Turning to look again, they saw Ning Ye emerge from the other side. "My apologies. Senior Brother Xuanyuan was simply too powerful, so Ning Ye had no choice but to resort to this measure."

Longbrow snapped, "What kind of method is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

Ning Ye replied, "A secret art of Langya Pavilion—the Skill of Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees."

Longbrow said angrily, "Do you take this old man for a fool? Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees can redirect attacks, but it can only redirect the attacks of those whose cultivation and strength surpass one's own by a limited margin. Given the gap between you and Xuanyuan Long, could you possibly redirect his attack so easily?"

Ning Ye sneered. "I never said I redirected it. You saw it yourself—he attacked you with his own hand. What I redirected was not his power, but merely his attention."
