Mysterious Confidence, a Fated Showdown

The moment Chen Jie touched Liu Yi's palm, he sensed a surge of power, and his expression changed drastically.

It was too late to retract his fist and retreat; he could only Fate the energy within his body, pushing the force of his punch to its limit.

"Bang!"

The moment their fists and palms collided, a thunderous roar resounded.

The dazzling light that erupted at the point of impact was so intense it was blinding.

Chen Jie's eyes bulged out as he felt an overwhelming force crush the fist's energy and surge into his body through his arm.

"Ah!"

He had barely let out a short scream when he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ring and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His internal organs felt like they were being crushed, and his right arm was so badly ripped open by the force of the palm strike that blood kept dripping down.

Blood and foam clung to the corner of his mouth as he stared at Liu Yi in utter horror.

Originally, he intended to hone his skills by challenging experts at the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm, but who would have thought he would encounter such a formidable opponent?

However, in a direct confrontation, he was severely injured.

He had just been boasting that the other party couldn't do anything to him, but in the blink of an eye, he was thoroughly humiliated.

The arrogance that had arisen from winning first place on the Dao Image Realm Combat Power Rankings, dominating the arena, and even defeating a Spirit Transformation Realm expert, was utterly shattered by this attack.

His face was filled with disbelief, even though his previous life's Artifact Cultivation System was equivalent to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He couldn't possibly inflict serious injury on himself with a single move, but his opponent did just that.

Horrible! Extremely terrifying!

"You are no ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm, otherwise you wouldn't have such strength, severely injuring me with a single move."

However, once my strength has improved, I will definitely challenge you again, and I will avenge my defeat today.

Liu Yi chuckled lightly, "Those I defeat will never catch up with me. In the end, you probably won't even see my back."

"Snort!"

Chen Jie struggled to his feet, his confidence restored. "Just wait until I surpass you. In a few years, I'll be confident I can surpass you."

He is a transmigrator with cultivation experience from his previous life, so he will face no bottlenecks before returning to his peak.

If it weren't for the fact that something seemed wrong with this world, and Cultivation Resources were extremely scarce...

In addition, he wanted to solidify his foundation and improve his combat power; otherwise, he would have already broken through to the next realm.

Liu Yi saw how quickly Chen Jie regained his confidence, and even his arrogance.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether this confidence stemmed from being a time traveler, or whether he was simply born with a mysterious self-assurance.

"Then let's wait and see. I just hope you can maintain this confidence and not let your Dao heart collapse."

"I may lose, but I will never admit defeat! Sooner or later, I will surpass you." Chen Jie leaped off the stage and sped towards the Chen Household's headquarters.

He needs to heal his injuries quickly; only by recovering as soon as possible can he participate in the arena competition and win the qualification to enter the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.

Everyone present, especially the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators, gasped in shock, staring at the scene before them.

They had long anticipated Chen Jie's strength and knew they could never seriously injure him with a single blow.

"Am I seeing things? Chen Jie actually lost, and lost so badly, without any power to resist, defeated with a single palm strike."

"Being a whole realm apart, it's normal for Chen Jie to lose, but he lost too quickly."

"Hahaha, that's satisfying! Chen Jie has finally been defeated. I've been fed up with his arrogant and conceited attitude for a long time."

"However, this fellow Daoist's strength is also terrifyingly powerful."

It seems we're about to face another formidable opponent in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.

"The Immortal-Devil Secret Realm is so vast, you might not necessarily encounter it."

Besides, once we get there, everyone will be suppressed to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Who will win or lose then is still uncertain.

Chen Fan was shocked to see Chen Jie defeated with a single palm strike.

"Chen Jie lost just like that? Such a decisive defeat is truly unbelievable."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement. "Yes, perhaps it's not all a bad thing. At least it can curb his arrogance."

Otherwise, given his arrogant nature, if things continue like this, our Chen Household will soon be surrounded by enemies.

He paused, a hint of doubt creeping into his voice:

"The person just now seemed to have used the Shattered Sun Star-Splitting Palm, so the other party should also be a system host."

Chen Jie's luck is really bad; he just happened to run into a system host at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It's important to understand that those at the Spirit Transformation Realm are bound to a system are on completely different levels compared to those who aren't.

"It really does seem to be the Blazing Sun Star-Shattering Palm sold in the System Store." Chen Fan said, then flew rapidly towards the Chen Household's residence.

"Let's go check on Chen Jie's injuries first. Hopefully, it won't affect his participation in the arena matches, otherwise he'll miss the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm."

"Good!"

Chen Lin followed closely behind, and together they sped towards the Chen Household's residence.

Liu Yi stood on the arena, and no one else stepped forward to challenge him. In the end, he secured his entry into the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.

After surveying the entire arena, he flew straight away from the competition, intending to find a restaurant to feast and treat himself.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, only seven days remain in the arena competition.

At this moment, Liu Yi was casually watching the battle while munching on some melon seeds.

Suddenly, a message from Qian Duoduo popped up on Microchat: "Brother Yi, I'm out of seclusion! I'm going to duel Ye Liang right away. Thanks to your divine liquid, my strength has increased significantly this time."

Liu Yi replied, "Why don't you spend a day or two honing your cultivation?"

"No need, I've been polishing it for days. If I still lose after all this, I'll accept it!" Qian Duoduo replied confidently.

"Brother Yi, just you wait and see! Today I'll show you once again what it means to tear apart a holy son!"

"Then I wish you good luck in advance." Liu Yi perked up, glanced around, and stood quietly waiting for Qian Duoduo to arrive.

A moment later, Qian Duoduo arrived at the arena and landed directly next to Ye Liang:

"Holy Son, you've waited long enough. Let our duel begin."

Upon seeing Qian Duoduo appear, Ye Liang's eyes lit up immediately. "Hahaha, you've finally shown yourself. You've been hiding for so long, I really thought you were scared."

"Hmph, I, Qian Duoduo, have never been afraid of anyone." Qian Duoduo looked at Ye Liang, her tone full of confidence.

"This time I'll defeat you again, so you'll understand completely that my victory was no fluke, but based entirely on solid, hard-earned strength."

Ye Liang carefully examined Qian Duoduo, sensing the changes in his aura.

Although they didn't notice anything unusual, they figured that the other party must have mastered some kind of special technique to stay away from them for so long.

"Let's each choose a ring, defeat our opponents first, and then settle the score."

This way, one person doesn't have to defeat the other and take the ring before the other person enters the arena, which seems fairer.

"Good."

Qian Duoduo looked around and immediately leaped onto a fighting platform.

Ye Liang didn't hesitate either, and flew right after him to another arena.

Qian Duoduo's appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the system hosts.

Everyone instantly perked up, their eyes fixed intently on him, awaiting the start of his Suming duel with Ye Liang.
