    Chapter 373

    The battle began.

    Feng Yuer formed a hand seal.

    A completely different elliptical shield, radiating a faint orange glow, enveloped her body.

    Compared to the pale cyan Wind Spirit Shield, Feng Yuer's shield clearly felt a level higher.

    Without pausing, she made another hand seal.

    A finger-thick short spike rose into the air, spinning once above her head before pointing directly at her opponent.

    Whoosh—

    The sharp whistle of air being torn apart echoed across the arena.

    In the blink of an eye, the spike had already reached the male disciple's shoulder.

    The male disciple remained calm.

    Protected by both his Wind Spirit Shield and a defensive artifact, he completely ignored Feng Yuer's spike.

    Instead, he concentrated on controlling his flying sword, sending it directly toward Feng Yuer.

    This was the most common style of combat among Qi Induction disciples.

    Each side simply attacked.

    Whoever broke the opponent's shield first...

    Won.

    Although the male disciple had already lost his composure after seeing Feng Yuer...

    He still wasn't willing to lose so quickly.

    Even if I lose...

    At least let me exchange a few moves with her first...


    ---

    However...

    The next moment completely exceeded his expectations.

    His flying sword struck Feng Yuer's orange shield...

    Yet the shield didn't even ripple.

    Meanwhile...

    Feng Yuer's short spike pierced straight through his Wind Spirit Shield.

    Without slowing down...

    It punched through his defensive artifact as well, leaving a clean hole.

    The artifact instantly lost its protective ability.

    Just before the spike reached his body...

    Feng Yuer casually curled her finger.

    The spike immediately stopped.

    Instead of stabbing forward...

    It suddenly swung sideways like a steel rod.

    Bang!

    The disciple was sent flying off the arena.

    Victory was decided in a single exchange.


    ---

    "Wow!"

    The audience immediately erupted into cheers.

    Many Qi Induction disciples couldn't help feeling discouraged.

    She was beautiful...

    Yet terrifyingly powerful.

    Who could possibly defeat someone like her?


    ---

    When it was time for the next challenger...

    Five people jumped onto the stage simultaneously.

    "Senior Brothers, please let me go first!"

    "No, I'll go first!"

    "Senior Brothers, let me test her strength for everyone first!"

    "That's inappropriate!"

    "You're the inappropriate one!"

    ...

    No one knew how they finally settled the matter.

    In the end...

    They simply lined up one after another.

    Then...

    Each of them was effortlessly knocked off the arena by Feng Yuer.


    ---

    Everyone gradually realized something.

    Feng Yuer wasn't merely beautiful.

    She was genuinely powerful.

    Moreover...

    The short spike in her hand was obviously no ordinary magic artifact.

    Those disciples who had secretly planned to "go easy" on her out of courtesy...

    Immediately realized how ridiculous that thought had been.

    They had overestimated themselves.

    Not only was Feng Yuer far more beautiful...

    Her spiritual root talent was also vastly superior.

    She truly was one of Heaven's favored children.


    ---

    Challengers continued climbing onto the stage.

    Yet one after another...

    They were swiftly defeated.

    Feng Yuer's combat style was astonishingly simple.

    One thrust shattered the opponent's shield.

    A sideways sweep immediately knocked them off the arena.

    Even the toughest opponent survived only three additional strikes.

    Despite the large number of Qi Induction disciples in the Feng lineage...

    Not one could match her.


    ---

    Soon...

    Nearly every Fourth Stage Qi Induction disciple had already fought.

    Fewer than ten remained.

    However...

    After witnessing Feng Yuer's overwhelming strength, they all hesitated.

    None wanted to become the next victim.

    Instead...

    They hoped someone else would first consume Feng Yuer's spiritual energy.

    Then perhaps...

    They could seize victory and become the Feng lineage's representative in the Senior Brother Token Competition.

    Just then...

    A short-haired youth suddenly leaped onto the arena.

    He landed directly opposite Feng Yuer.

    It was...

    Su Hao.


    ---

    The moment everyone saw him...

    An identical question appeared in countless minds.

    Who is he?

    The reason was simple.

    He looked too young.

    Although Su Hao had grown considerably over the past few years...

    His youthful features still clearly revealed that he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

    Most Qi Induction disciples competing today were already seventeen or eighteen.

    Some were even twenty.

    A middle-school-aged boy suddenly appearing among a group of older disciples naturally attracted everyone's attention.

    "Who is he?"

    "I've never seen him."

    "Probably one of the fifty-sixth generation disciples who entered the sect last year."

    "A newcomer actually wants to challenge Feng Yuer?"

    "He must've climbed onto the stage because of Junior Sister Feng Yuer."

    "Sigh..."

    "His Dao Heart has clearly been shaken by beauty."

    "His future cultivation path will surely be difficult."


    ---

    Even Feng Yan looked surprised.

    He turned toward Feng Ling.

    "Little Feng Ling."

    "Why aren't you stopping my little brother?"

    Feng Ling silently corrected him in her heart.

    He's my disciple... not yours.

    Outwardly, however, she merely sighed.

    "I already advised him."

    "If he insists on going..."

    "Let him."

    "If he doesn't suffer a setback now..."

    "He'll never learn to restrain himself."

    Feng Yan nodded seriously.

    "Indeed."

    "The kid should experience a defeat."

    "Otherwise, once he leaves the sect, reality will teach him an even harsher lesson."


    ---

    Apart from Feng Cheng...

    No one believed Su Hao had any chance of winning.

    Most people eagerly waited to see how Feng Yuer would send this overconfident junior flying off the arena.

    Even Feng Ling and Feng Yan had already begun planning how they would lecture Su Hao afterward.

    Only Feng Cheng remained incomparably excited.

    He shouted at the top of his lungs,

    "Senior Brother Feng Wei!"

    "You can do it!"

    "Defeat the little fairy!"

    "Become the strongest Qi Induction disciple!"

    The surrounding spectators quietly took several steps away from Feng Cheng.

    They were worried others might mistake them for his companions.


    ---

    After stepping onto the arena...

    Su Hao politely cupped his fists.

    Just like Feng Yuer before him, he said,

    "I am Feng Wei."

    "I have come to seek Senior Sister's guidance."

    "Please forgive any offense."

    As soon as he finished speaking...

    His fingers formed several seals.

    A pale cyan Wind Spirit Shield immediately enveloped his body.

    Feng Yuer raised an eyebrow.

    She clearly remembered those exact same words.

    Looking at the handsome young Junior Brother before her...

    She couldn't help revealing a faint smile.

    "Junior Brother."

    "Be careful."

    She formed another hand seal.

    Pointing lightly forward—

    Whoosh!

    The short spike shot toward Su Hao like a meteor.

    In the blink of an eye...

    It had already reached him.


    ---

    Just as everyone expected Su Hao to be blasted off the arena...

    His body suddenly shifted slightly sideways.

    The spike flew harmlessly past him.

    "...?"

    Most Qi Induction disciples hadn't even seen what happened.

    Everything occurred too quickly.

    Their first thought was...

    She missed.

    Their second thought was...

    Feng Yuer held back.

    The first explanation was acceptable.

    The second...

    Immediately caused countless disciples to panic.

    If Feng Yuer had shown mercy...

    Didn't that mean she was treating this little Junior Brother differently?

    She hadn't shown mercy against anyone else.

    Yet she suddenly softened toward this younger boy?

    "...Oh no."

    "Does Feng Yuer actually like younger men?"

    At that moment...

    The dreams of countless young disciples shattered.


    ---

    Of course...

    The higher-level cultivators watching nearby had all seen the truth clearly.

    Almost every senior present had observed both the trajectory of the spike...

    And Su Hao's movement.

    Their brows gradually furrowed.

    Was that a movement technique?

    No...

    Why couldn't I sense any spiritual fluctuations?


    ---

    Feng Yan exclaimed in surprise,

    "Little Feng Ling!"

    "My little brother is pretty fast!"

    "He actually dodged it!"

    Feng Ling smiled.

    "Feng Wei practiced mortal martial arts before entering the sect."

    "And he was extremely skilled."

    "His movements are naturally agile."

    "I was wondering why he dared challenge Feng Yuer."

    "I almost forgot he still had this advantage."

    Feng Yan nodded in understanding.

    "So that's it."

    Meanwhile...

    Feng Cheng clenched both fists excitedly.

    His neck had already turned red.

    "I knew it!"

    "Senior Brother is the strongest!"


    ---

    Seeing her attack miss...

    Feng Yuer was slightly surprised.

    But she remained completely calm.

    Missed once?

    Then attack again.

    She lightly curled her finger.

    The short spike instantly changed direction.

    This time...

    It flew even faster.

    Its shrill whistle became almost ear-piercing.


    ---

    Su Hao calmly rotated his wrist.

    His fingers completed three hand seals.

    Wind Light Body Technique.

    A faint glow flashed around him.

    Strong winds instantly gathered beneath his feet.

    With a slight shift of his body...

    He once again avoided the incoming spike.

    "...?"

    The Qi Induction disciples widened their eyes.

    They still couldn't understand what had happened.

    "It must be because Feng Yuer is holding back!"

    Some still stubbornly believed.


    ---

    However...

    Several experienced cultivators had already seen the truth.

    Feng Hua—

    known throughout the sect as Wind Flying Star—

    quietly uttered two words.

    "Predictive movement."
