"What did you say? For us all to come at you at once? You think that’s unfair to us?"
Liu Tao stared at Tang Yi as if he were an idiot.
If what Tang Yi had just said was a joke, then Liu Tao thought it was the funniest one in the world.
’Has this pretty boy gone stupid? Who does he think he is? The reincarnation of a War God?’
"That’s right. Let your brothers in. I intend to challenge all of you by myself," Tang Yi said flatly, as if it were the simplest thing imaginable.
"Heh. Have the examinees from the North District really fallen this far? All talk and no substance," Liu Tao sneered contemptuously.
"Saying he’ll challenge all of us by himself? Are you insane? HAHAHAHA."
"It’s questionable if you can even beat Brother Tao, yet you want to challenge all of us? That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard."
"Kid, do you have any idea what Level Brother Tao is? Or Brother Six? And you want to challenge all of us? Our Brother Tao could kill you with a single finger."
"Hey, you should talk some sense into your friend. I think he’s lost his mind."
"Talk sense into him? He’s a lost cause! HAHAHAHA!"
"HAHAHAHA!"
Upon hearing Tang Yi’s declaration that he would challenge all of them, the group of examinees who had come with Brother Tao immediately erupted in jeers and laughter. Not a single one of them believed Tang Yi had the strength to take them all on.
Some of the examinees even told Mu Xianling and the others to talk some sense into Tang Yi and stop him from being so foolish.
However, Mu Xianling and the others said nothing. Instead, they just stared back at them as if *they* were the idiots.
This left the examinees with Brother Tao utterly baffled.
’It turns out it’s not just the pretty boy inside the Qi Shield who’s an idiot. Everyone who came with him is an idiot, too...’
Of course, that was exactly what Mu Xianling’s group was thinking as well. In short, both sides thought the other group was full of idiots.
But as for who the real idiots were, they would find out once the fight began...
"You don’t believe I can challenge all of you?" Tang Yi said slowly to Liu Tao.
"Of course I don’t believe you. Who do you think you are?" Liu Tao said contemptuously, thinking Tang Yi was not only stupid but also arrogant beyond measure.
"Fine. Then I’ll make you believe."
As Tang Yi spoke, he took a single step. Though they were ten meters apart, he instantly appeared behind Liu Tao and slapped him on the forehead.
After the slap, his figure flashed again, and he was back in his original spot.
The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, taking less than the time for a single breath...
"You... you... you..."
Liu Tao clutched his slapped forehead with one hand and pointed at Tang Yi with the other. He stammered for a long time but couldn’t form a coherent sentence.
"Me what? Do you believe me now?" Tang Yi smiled.
"You!! That’s impossible! How are you so fast? What kind of Demon Technique did you use?!" Liu Tao exclaimed in disbelief.
He was completely stunned from the slap to his forehead!
Feeling the red mark on his forehead, the fiery sting told Liu Tao this wasn’t a dream. It was real. He had really just been slapped on the forehead by Tang Yi!
And what’s more, the other guy obviously hadn’t used any real force. It was just a light tap, as if he were merely toying with him.
’If he had put power into that slap, my head might have been smashed open like a watermelon...’
The whole sequence—from Tang Yi taking a step to slapping Liu Tao’s forehead—was simply too fast. Liu Tao didn’t even have time to react. Even if he had wanted to, he couldn’t have!
Too fast!
So fast that Liu Tao’s eyes couldn’t follow Tang Yi’s movements at all. He could only see a series of illusions!
This...
’Is this a level of power a person should even possess?’
’What in the world is going on?’
Liu Tao was scared witless by Tang Yi’s move.
"Did... did something just happen?"
"I think I saw a figure flash by and then slap Brother Tao..."
"What kind of eyesight do you guys have? I didn’t see anything..."
It wasn’t just Liu Tao who was dumbfounded; all the examinees who came with him were dumbfounded too.
’What the hell?’
’What just happened?’
All they saw was Tang Yi blur for an instant and then reappear. The next thing they knew, Liu Tao was clutching his forehead and staring wide-eyed. And on his forehead was a red patch with a large Hand Seal on it...
"Why is it impossible? Sure, you can think of it as a Demon Technique. The fact is, I can do it, can’t I? So, let me ask you now, do you still think I don’t have the strength to challenge all of you?" Tang Yi scoffed.
’Sometimes, Tang Yi really didn’t want to play the wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’d honestly tell people he was strong, but they would never believe him! They just had to offer up their faces to be slapped. What could he do about it?’
’He hadn’t wanted to fight these people in the first place; it was beneath his status. After all, he was a Battle King. How could he keep bullying a bunch of Battle Spirits? If he was going to bully someone, it should be other Battle Kings. But these people just had to shove their faces in front of him, looking like they wouldn’t be satisfied until he slapped them. It would be rude not to oblige, right?’
’What choice did that leave Tang Yi?’
(Silently striking a pose...)
"Hmph!"
Liu Tao snorted coldly, thoroughly unconvinced. He believed that Tang Yi had only managed to slap him by using some underhanded techniques and that it wasn’t a display of Tang Yi’s true ability.
’Besides, I haven’t even attacked yet. If I had, Tang Yi definitely wouldn’t have been able to Resist.’
Therefore, Liu Tao didn’t believe Tang Yi was stronger than him.
"That was nothing but a petty trick! I am a One-star Battle Spirit! I placed fifth out of several thousand examinees in Fuyue City! My strength is undeniable. Compared to me, you are but a firefly’s glow, while I am the brilliant moon. How can a firefly dare to compete with the moon’s radiance?" Liu Tao declared arrogantly.
As he spoke, he attacked, thrusting a clawed hand toward Tang Yi.
"Formless Cyan Lotus Hand!"
SWOOSH!
Liu Tao’s five fingers glowed red as a powerful gust of wind swept forward, looking incredibly ferocious.
"Heh."
Facing this strange, demonic claw attack, Tang Yi was completely unconcerned. He gave a cold laugh and stood rooted to the spot. When Liu Tao’s claw arrived, he simply waved his hand gently, not even bothering to use a Martial Technique.
Instantly, Liu Tao’s attack was swatted aside by Tang Yi, and Liu Tao’s body was sent flying by the momentum.
With a miserable cry, Liu Tao crashed to the ground.
He tilted his head back and, with a PTUI, spat out a mouthful of blood.
With all his boosted Full Attributes, on top of his Battle King Cultivation, Tang Yi’s Power was immense. How could someone like Liu Tao possibly withstand it?
The fact that he only coughed up a mouthful of blood and wasn’t killed outright was a stroke of incredible luck.
Of course, this was only because Tang Yi had held back. Just now, he had used less than one percent of his strength...
"Impossible!"
Liu Tao sat up and exclaimed in shock.
He couldn’t believe that Tang Yi was this strong!
’When did such an unparalleled genius appear in the North District?’
If Tang Yi’s high Speed earlier when he slapped Liu Tao could be dismissed as some kind of Demon Technique, then Resisting Liu Tao’s Martial Technique just now was a display of genuine, undeniable strength.
You have to remember, Liu Tao was a One-star Battle Spirit!
And the technique he had just used was an Earth Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique!
