”I will assume that this is your first time here since I don’t recognize you, so give me a minute to explain to you the rules.” The judge said to him.

”One, you cannot use any treasures. Two, under any circumstances, if you leave the arena, it will be your loss. Anything else goes.”

”Hm? Since I cannot use my treasures, will there be weapons provided to me? I usually use a sword or dagger.” Yuan said.

”I don’t mind if he uses his treasures.” Long Yanjun suddenly said.

”Are you sure?” The judge asked him for confirmation.

”If that’s what he’s comfortable with, I don’t mind. It wouldn’t be fair to him if he cannot fight without his weapons.”

The judge nodded and said, ”Okay, you can use your treasure.”

”Wait, you’re going to be fighting me with your fists? But that wouldn’t be fair at all.” Yuan said.

Long Yanjun laughed and said, ”Don’t worry, my fists are my treasure. They won’t lose to even Heaven-grade treasures.”

”Even if you say that, it just doesn’t feel right fighting someone barehanded with a weapon. It’s okay, I will eventually have to learn how to fight without my weapons since I shouldn’t rely on them too much.” Yuan said, refusing to use his treasures.

”Are you sure?” Long Yanjun asked him, admiring his strong integrity.

”I am sure.” Yuan nodded.

”Good! Then I shall let you have the first strike!” Long Yanjun said to him before standing there in a defensive position. ”Go ahead. I won’t attack you unless you strike!”

Yuan nodded, but he didn’t immediately attack.

Instead, he pondered how he should fight Long Yanjun.

After a moment, he thought of something.

’I can simply use Qi Manifestation and use it as though it’s my weapon!’ He thought to himself.

”I’ll be striking now,” Yuan warned him since he was kind enough to give him the first strike.

”Go ahead.” Long Yanjun said with a confident smile on his face.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan used Qi Manifestation and covered his fist with thick spiritual energy.

”What! How can you use Qi Manifestation at that level?!” Long Yanjun was shocked when he saw what Yuan was trying to do.

The spectators were also shocked.

Both Yuan and Long Yanjun have their cultivation limited to the first level of Spirit Master, and although they have seen geniuses who can use Qi Manifestation before Spirit Grandmaster, they were always around the peak of Spirit Master.

This is their first time seeing someone use Qi Manifestation at the first level!

”Heavens! How does he have the spiritual energy to use Qi Manifestation at the first level? This guy is a monster!”

”Where on earth did he come from? There’s no way such a talented individual is a nobody!”

Meanwhile, Yuan used a movement technique to instantly close his distance with Long Yanjun.

”Fast!” Long Yanjun crossed his arms and prepared to block Yuan’s strike.

Boom!

”Fuck!”

Long Yanjun cursed out loud as he was sent flying out of the stage.

Before Long Yanjun left the stage, both his arms had been completely crushed by Yuan’s casual and even somewhat inexperienced punch, but after he left the stage, his injuries immediately healed, almost like his injury never happened in the first place.

Once he was outside the stage, Long Yanjun’s peak Spirit Lord cultivation base returned, allowing him to regain control over his own body.

”What a powerful punch!” He looked at his arms that were trembling from shock.

He then turned to look at Yuan and clasped his hands together, ”I had underestimated you. I’m sorry. It’s my loss.”

”He defeated Long Yanjun in a single strike?! Even though it was a free attack, it is still shocking! Long Yanjun has a 90 percent win rate with over a thousand victories and only a hundred losses!”

The spectators saw Yuan in a more serious light now.

”Do you wish to stay on the stage for another fight?” The judge asked him afterward.

”The fight ended too fast. I’d like to do another one.” Yuan said.

”Okay. Then who would like to fight this young man next?” The judge looked at the spectators.

Immediately, over a dozen people raised their hands.

”I want to fight him!”

”No, let me fight him!”

”Pick me! Pick me!”

The judge looked at Yuan and asked him, ”You can pick your fighter.”

”Pick me, young man! I also use the sword!” One of the fighters there said, and he was emitting the aura of a peak Spirit King.

”Really?”

”Yes! Really! Look!”

This individual then retrieved a red sword that was emitting a profound aura that could only be emitted by Divine-grade treasures.

”Okay! Let’s fight!” Yuan nodded with excitement.

Hearing Yuan’s words, this middle-aged man with the red sword jumped onto the stage.

”My name is Xing Chongzhi!” The middle-aged man introduced himself with his hands clasped.

”Yuan.”

”Then for this match, the both of you can use your treasures.” The judge said.

”Xing Chongzhi is fighting next? Although he only has a win rate of 70 percent, all of his losses don’t include the sword! When he wields his sword, his win rate is 100 percent!”

”This is going to be an interesting fight.”

”Do you think Yuan will win?” Wang Xiuying asked Xi Meili as they watched from the background.

”I have never seen his sword skills so I cannot say. However, Xing Chongzhi is a renowned sword expert who learned Sword Aura when he was only 700 years old. He’s definitely one of the best swordmasters in the Ancient Dragon City.”

”700 years? What is this Sword Aura, and why does it take so long to learn?” Wang Xiuying asked.

”Sword Aura isn’t something you can just learn, and you cannot learn it through normal means like other techniques because it’s not really a technique. One can even go their whole life without learning Sword Aura if they’re not talented enough or destined to.” Xi Meili said.

”Wow… That sounds quite incredible.” Wang Xiuying said as she looked at Yuan, wondering how he’ll defeat someone who knows such a powerful skill.
