"What is that Tang Yi doing? He’s just standing there, not moving at all. Is he trying to get himself killed?"
"I have a feeling this fight is going to be over in an instant. Yuh Jili is definitely going to beat Tang Yi to a pulp."
"Just as I thought, completely useless! Tang Yi is all show and no substance. His results must have been fake!"
"Wrong! How is Tang Yi even good-looking? He’s neither good-looking nor useful. He’s nothing compared to the handsome, dashing, and distinguished Yuh Jili."
"Tang Yi is such a disappointment. He’s just too weak..."
"I can’t bear to watch. This is such an unfair fight."
"I can already picture it. In the next second, Yuh Jili will have beaten Tang Yi to his knees, begging for mercy."
"Sigh. I was so excited to watch this sparring match, but it turned out to be completely one-sided."
On the field, Tang Yi stood rooted to the spot, not moving an inch. Everyone in the crowd shook their heads helplessly, certain that Tang Yi was about to get a brutal beating in the next second.
However...
With a BAM, someone was sent flying, but... it wasn’t Tang Yi.
Yuh Jili had charged ferociously toward Tang Yi. He seemed to have used some kind of Martial Technique, and as he threw a punch at Tang Yi, it let out a series of whistling sounds, looking incredibly fierce.
But Tang Yi merely extended a finger and flicked it lightly against Yuh Jili’s fist. It was like flicking away a fly—no, even lighter than that. Yuh Jili’s ferocious punch was met with a Heavy Strike, and his body was instantly sent flying backward!
"What!"
"WHOA!"
The crowd erupted in stunned gasps. They had all completely misjudged the situation.
They rubbed their eyes and looked again, only to confirm that Yuh Jili had truly been sent flying over ten meters by Tang Yi’s simple flick! They hadn’t been mistaken.
"This..."
Everyone was stunned.
The number one genius of the East District was sent flying in a single exchange?
Tang Yi didn’t even use a single move—just a light flick—and Yuh Jili couldn’t Resist it?
Could it be any more ridiculous? ’This has to be a dream, right?’
No matter how weak Yuh Jili might seem, he was still a Battle Spirit Level Martial Artist. He could even hold his own against a Battle King for a few moves. But now he was sent flying by a simple flick from Tang Yi? How was that possible!
Everyone watching this scene was in utter disbelief. Whether it was the people on the high platform, the West Mansion Disciples in the stands, or the examinees from the four major districts gathered around, they were all too shocked to speak.
Just then, Yuh Jili struggled back to his feet. His face was first filled with surprise, but then he saw the shocked and confused looks all around him. Yuh Jili’s face flushed Red, and a hint of anger appeared. He whipped his head around, his gaze fixed on Tang Yi, looking as if it could shoot fire.
’Humiliating, this is absolutely humiliating!’
’I was actually sent flying!’
’And by a two-fingered flick, no less!’
Yuh Jili hadn’t clearly seen what Tang Yi had just done. All he saw was Tang Yi extending his fingers for what seemed like a light flick. Then, he felt a massive force erupt from his fist, sending his body flying backward involuntarily.
’Tang Yi must have pulled some kind of trick. He must have used some method to send me flying. This can’t be his real strength!’
Unwilling to accept defeat, Yuh Jili came up with an excuse for himself.
Then, he shot a glance at Tang Yi, gritted his teeth, and charged toward him once more.
’A trick like that might work on me, Yuh Jili, once, but it will never succeed a second time!’ Yuh Jili roared in his heart.
However, the second time he rushed in front of Tang Yi, just as he was about to strike, Tang Yi once again extended two fingers, bent them slightly, and made a ’flicking’ motion.
Yuh Jili was prepared this time. The last time, he had been flicked on the fist while executing a Martial Technique, which was why he was sent flying.
This time, the moment he saw Tang Yi extend his fingers, Yuh Jili quickly halted his momentum and took two steps back.
He put some distance between himself and Tang Yi. No matter how powerful or strange Tang Yi’s Techniques were, he couldn’t possibly send him flying from several meters away, right?
However, reality once again defied Yuh Jili’s expectations.
Tang Yi was seen softly uttering a few words: "Mountain-Toppling Bull Strike!"
"BAM!"
Immediately, another muffled thud was heard.
Yuh Jili felt another great force strike his chest, and his body was once again sent flying backward.
They were several meters apart. The moment Tang Yi made a move, Yuh Jili had already created distance, yet he was still sent flying!
Staring at Tang Yi’s bright, sunny smile, Yuh Jili’s face was a mask of disbelief. His heart was filled with extreme unwillingness and frustration, but there was nothing he could do.
"PFFT!"
This time, Yuh Jili flew even farther, a full twenty to thirty meters, landing almost where the spectating examinees were gathered.
After hitting the ground, his head lolled to one side, his eyelids grew heavy, and he passed out.
In truth, Tang Yi hadn’t been ruthless. Although it looked like Yuh Jili was sent flying over ten meters once, then twice, he hadn’t actually sustained much damage. If Tang Yi had been serious, Yuh Jili would have been dead after the first exchange. How could he possibly have gotten up to charge at Tang Yi a second time?
As for why Yuh Jili fainted the second time, perhaps after being struck by Tang Yi in quick succession, he was so infuriated that he simply passed out from rage.
"WHOA!"
The watching crowd erupted in another wave of astonished cries.
Shock, disbelief, impossibility—these expressions were perfectly written on everyone’s faces.
Aside from the people from the North District and some from Dui Palace, everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.
The top examinee from the East District, Yuh Jili, the one who had obtained over sixty Demon Beast Crystals, had just been sent flying twice in a row by Tang Yi. And each time, it had been done with such ease, as if it took no effort at all!
In Tang Yi’s hands, Yuh Jili seemed to have no Resistance power whatsoever!
Moreover, the second time, Tang Yi and Yuh Jili were several meters apart. They hadn’t touched at all, not even in the slightest, yet Yuh Jili was still sent flying!
Was Yuh Jili an actor? Was he just putting on a show?
But that was completely impossible!
"Th-th-this... How is this possible? In a sparring match with Tang Yi, Yuh Jili couldn’t even take a single move? He was sent flying before he could even get close?"
On the high platform, the head of the East District, Yane Bohou, was too shocked to speak. His face was ashen, his expression as ugly as it could be.
"Heh heh, Elder Yane, didn’t I warn you? Sometimes, one shouldn’t be too self-righteous, or they’ll surely meet a miserable end. And here we are... heh heh!" said Lu Qiming, the head of the North District, with a smug tone.
Lu Qiming was extremely satisfied with Tang Yi’s performance. It had earned him a great deal of face.
"This is the strength of this year’s number one in the House Entrance Examination. Now, I trust no one will question his abilities, right?" Murong Liu of Dui Palace also stood up and said to the astonished crowd, his face full of smiles.
At the same time, Murong Liu was also extremely shocked by Tang Yi’s strength. When he had opened the Six Spirits Gate for Tang Yi, he never would have imagined that such an ordinary-looking kid could possess such power.
Back then, Murong Liu had assumed that Tang Yi was just riding on the Wang Family’s coattails, and that was why Wang Bi’Er had asked him to help Tang Yi open the Six Spirits Gate. He never expected that Tang Yi wasn’t just relying on the Wang Family—he had True, tangible skill!
