"Boom!"

A person flew backward as well, shooting into a side courtyard.

"Junior brothers, what are you two doing?"

A young man emerged from the house in the courtyard. He wore white robes and was tall and slender, looking about fourteen or fifteen. Though he wasn't the protagonist, he had an outstanding air about him and could be called as handsome as jade.

Yu Feng looked at Bai Yixin and Shi Qingfeng in puzzlement as they barged in with a crowd behind them.

Bai Yixin had fought his way in with Shi Qingfeng, drawing a crowd of disciples eager to watch the spectacle.

"That brute actually dares to come looking for Senior Brother Yu Feng. He really doesn't know when to quit," someone in the crowd sneered.

Among the disciples of the recent generations, there were quite a few formidable figures, and Yu Feng was one of them. He was renowned, and though he had only fought a handful of duels, the geniuses he had defeated were all among the strongest. His reputation carried tremendous weight.

Among the disciples of these recent generations, few could overshadow him.

"Yu Feng in white, peerless in bearing. Once he enters the rain, he becomes invincible. He can summon thunder and lightning from the Nine Heavens to smite his enemies. Golden runes fill the sky—he once cleaved through more than a dozen powerful opponents who surrounded him."

Someone recounted some of his achievements, and the crowd was instantly filled with awe.

"Everyone, what happened here?" Yu Feng asked.

"What happened? Your people bullied my little brother, so I came to beat you up—and let you know who's boss in the Genius Camp!" Bai Yixin cracked his neck and said.

"Haha, then let me have a lesson from you, Junior Brother." Yu Feng smiled, thinking that this new disciple had come looking for trouble only because he didn't know how formidable Yu Feng was.

"Heh."

Another arrogant fool.

"Boom!"

The ground was suddenly blasted with a deep footprint. Bai Yixin became a streak of lightning and charged straight at Yu Feng, punching him in the face.

"What?!"

Yu Feng's heart lurched. His composure vanished as he watched the fist hurtling toward him, growing larger by the instant. He could only hastily cross his arms in front of himself.

"Thump!!!"

A deafening crash rang out. Rags of cloth scattered, and the faint sound of cracking bones followed as the once-calm figure was sent flying straight into the house behind him.

"That's it?"

Bai Yixin looked disdainful. He swept his gaze over the speechless crowd and coldly spat out two words.

Suddenly, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and crystalline light from runes shone inside the house.

A torrent suddenly blasted out from the hole Yu Feng had made when he crashed into the house, shooting toward Bai Yixin in an attempt to kill him.

"Pathetic trick."

Bai Yixin casually shattered the torrent, which could have split mountains and cracked boulders, with a single punch. He watched Yu Feng emerge step by step from the hole, his face dark with anger, and spoke.

"Put some effort into it, kid. Don't tell me that's all you've got?"

"Slanting Wind and Drizzle Slashes Stars and Moon!"

Yu Feng's black hair hung loose. He was no longer the carefree, sunny youth he had been before. He shouted fiercely.

The raindrops thickened in the sky, all transforming into blades in an instant. They howled and flashed with dazzling light as they swept toward Bai Yixin, blotting out the sky.

"Chi," "chi"...

Every raindrop was as sharp as fine gold. They pierced a nearby mountaintop until it was riddled with holes. The bamboo, trees, and flowers were shattered, while the boulders became honeycombed, pocked with holes everywhere.

At the same time, Yu Feng unleashed a bolt of lightning that shot upward, piercing through the curtain of rain.

With a "boom," countless flashes of lightning exploded, dancing across the flooded ground. Golden serpents blazed as they darted about at terrific speed, utterly frenzied.

Where there was water, there was lightning. The two were linked together, creating a terrifying sight. The stronger the water's power, the more intensely the lightning intertwined. One was the medium, the other divine power; when the two met, it was a dazzling collision.

"Senior Brother Yu Feng is angry! We need to get farther away!" Many in the crowd were horrified and hurriedly retreated.

Some weren't quick enough. One was struck by lightning, his whole body charred black and his life nearly snuffed out.

"So you lose your temper when you're embarrassed. You're nothing special." Bai Yixin's expression didn't change in the slightest. He even had time to point out the flaws in Yu Feng's technique.

Dense blades of rain stabbed at every part of Bai Yixin's body, but not one landed a meaningful blow. At most, they left a few white spots on his skin, and even those faded away within seconds.

Then the surging golden lightning wrapped around him, but it did little damage either.

Countless runes burst out from Bai Yixin's body. He shuddered, swept up the flashing lightning, and transformed into a golden thunderball as he charged toward Yu Feng.

He didn't use any fancy move. Just a simple punch, carrying the lightning buff from Yu Feng himself, slammed directly into Yu Feng's face.

"Ah!"

The onlookers, dodging the scattered lightning, suddenly heard a scream. Not knowing what had happened, they turned to look and saw Yu Feng sent flying into the sky by Bai Yixin's punch, blood spraying and teeth flying everywhere.

"Is that Yu Feng? How is that possible?"

Bai Yixin followed one punch with another, batting Yu Feng around like a shuttlecock. He beat Yu Feng until his face was a bloody mess, breaking bones throughout his body.

"Arrgh..."

At last, Yu Feng crashed to the ground. His cries no longer sounded human, but like the wails of a wounded beast. A mouthful of teeth sprayed out, every last one of them knocked loose.

"Hiss! That's too brutal!" Seeing Yu Feng's miserable state, the crowd couldn't bear to watch. They didn't dare criticize Bai Yixin, afraid that the madman would beat them up too.

That guy really dared to do it!

He'd just fought his way in like this!

Anyone who dared to make a move got punched!

"Enough!"

A loud shout rang out as an old man flew over, his face stern. It was the same elder who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the mountain gate.

"You used too much force," the elder said to Bai Yixin.

"That's right! Elder, you have to punish him severely!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Heh. I'll remember you." Bai Yixin shot the person who had spoken a cold look, then turned to the elder.

"He sent people to pick a fight with me first, and you should have seen that he was the one who struck hard first. I only punched him a few times. At worst, he's got some flesh wounds. He's got a wealthy family behind him; a few days of rest will set him right. This was a perfectly normal spar."

The elder's gaze was piercing. He stared at Bai Yixin for a while, then suddenly laughed heartily.

"So you're as ferocious as they say. This time, you're in the right. You—and all of you—go back and behave yourselves!"

No one dared linger. They soon dispersed, leaving behind a ruined courtyard and Yu Feng, who was no longer recognizable.

"Wow, Brother Bai, I was scared half to death just now." Shi Qingfeng was still shaken by what had happened.

"What's there to be afraid of? We're in the right. Besides, geniuses get special privileges. As long as I'm good enough, the elders will naturally turn a blind eye." Bai Yixin smiled.
