    Chapter 379

    Su Hao calmly walked toward the arena, leaped onto it, and strode to the center, quietly waiting for the first challenger.

    He had no intention of exchanging empty pleasantries with these young cultivators. On the surface, they smiled politely, but deep down, each of them was thinking about how to defeat the others and claim the final victory.

    The Senior Brother Token held tremendous appeal.

    First, it represented the title of the strongest disciple within one's realm in the sect. Whether in the Qi Induction Realm or the Golden Core Realm, earning that title was undeniable proof of one's talent and strength.

    Second, rumor had it that the Senior Brother Token itself was a unique Artifact forged from rare materials. Possessing it brought great benefits to cultivators.

    Anyone capable of reaching this stage was no ordinary disciple.

    Every one of them was a true cultivation genius.

    Unfortunately for them...

    None of that mattered to Su Hao.


    ---

    The other five contestants watched as Su Hao silently stepped onto the arena and couldn't help exchanging glances.

    Each saw the same surprise in the others' eyes.

    "He's so arrogant."

    "We were still discussing who should challenge first, and he simply walked onto the stage himself."

    Still, this suited them perfectly.

    Since someone had taken the initiative, the order of battle became much simpler.

    The traditional order among the six lineages was:

    Cloud conceals Moon.

    Moon restrains Wind.

    Wind scatters Rain.

    Rain suppresses Dust.

    Dust disperses Mist.

    This was the cycle of mutual restraint followed within Yunzhong Valley.

    Since Su Hao represented the Feng (Wind) Lineage, his first opponent naturally came from the Yue (Moon) Lineage.

    The disciples from the Yun, Yu, Chen, and Wu lineages all turned toward Yue Shangzhi.

    Yue Shangzhi smiled confidently before stepping onto the arena.

    "Looks like I'll have an easy first victory."


    ---

    The crowd erupted into cheers.

    Everyone had been waiting for this moment.

    Why watch the tournament?

    To watch exciting battles, of course.

    The fiercer the fight, the better.

    The spectators wanted to see Artifacts clashing, Techniques colliding, and cultivators exchanging blows until the battle reached its climax.


    ---

    Off to one side, Feng Cheng had become so excited that he looked as though he'd taken a stimulant.

    "Senior Brother is amazing!"

    "Master! Look! Senior Brother was the first one on stage!"

    "Hurry! Cheer for Senior Brother with me!"

    Feng Ling increasingly suspected something was wrong with her second disciple's brain.

    Whenever there was a fight, he became more excited than anyone else.


    ---

    After exchanging greetings, Su Hao asked calmly,

    "Are you ready?"

    Yue Shangzhi smiled confidently.

    "Of course."

    "Let's begin."

    He immediately formed several hand seals.

    A silver-white defensive shield enveloped his body.

    At the same time, he prepared to activate his Artifact.

    Su Hao simply raised one finger.

    Wind Bullet.

    Whoosh—

    A brilliant flash streaked across the arena.

    Boom!

    Yue Shangzhi's shield exploded.

    Although the defensive Artifact beneath it blocked part of the attack, the terrifying impact still blasted him straight off the arena.

    Silence.

    Then—

    "Hiss—!"

    Countless gasps echoed throughout the crowd.

    "What the hell?"

    "Was that real?"

    "Senior Brother Yue Shangzhi lost in one move?"

    "That attack came from a single finger?"

    "Idiot! Why do you think he's called Feng Yizhi?"

    (Yizhi means "One Finger.")

    "What kind of Artifact was that?"

    "What Artifact? That's clearly just one finger..."


    ---

    Even Feng Ling, who had mentally prepared herself, almost swore aloud.

    She never imagined Su Hao would actually dominate the competition to this extent.

    After all...

    He had only cultivated for a single year.

    Many disciples still couldn't even use Techniques properly after a year.


    ---

    Feng Cheng let out a long sigh of relief before proudly reminding Feng Ling,

    "Master, don't be surprised."

    "Senior Brother is a genius."

    Feng Ling forced a smile.

    "A genius?"

    "He's a monster!"

    Geniuses at least followed some understandable pattern.

    Su Hao's growth completely defied reason.

    Of course, if someone asked...

    She would still proudly answer,

    "Feng Wei?"

    "Yes."

    "My disciple."

    "I taught him."


    ---

    Meanwhile, the remaining four contestants stared blankly at Yue Shangzhi lying below the arena.

    Their minds had gone completely blank.

    "What just happened?"

    After a moment, Yu Feier, Chen Xin, and Wu Qiaoqiao all turned toward Yun Qingping.

    Since he represented the main Yun Lineage...

    It was his turn.


    ---

    Yun Qingping silently cursed inwardly.

    Still, he couldn't lose face for the Yun Lineage.

    Taking a deep breath, he stepped onto the arena while rapidly forming hand seals.

    Five Clouds Rising Sun Shield!

    Black Tortoise Guard Plate!

    Floating Clouds, Thousand Li!

    He activated his defensive Techniques and movement Technique first.

    Only then did he nod.

    "I'm ready."

    "Senior Brother Feng Yizhi, please."

    Su Hao slowly raised a finger.

    His movement was incredibly slow.

    So slow that Yun Qingping couldn't even decide where he should dodge.

    Then—

    Wind Bullet.

    "So fast!"

    Yun Qingping's pupils shrank.

    He couldn't dodge.

    Nor could he react.

    Boom!

    The impact struck like a giant hammer.

    He was blasted straight off the arena.

    After struggling back to his feet, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

    "I..."

    "I couldn't dodge it..."

    "I couldn't block it..."


    ---

    Yu Feier and Wu Qiaoqiao both looked toward Chen Xin.

    Chen Xin sighed helplessly.

    "Fine."

    "I'll go."

    Since everyone else had already been blasted off, there was nothing embarrassing about losing too.

    He stepped onto the arena.

    Wind Bullet.

    Boom!

    Chen Xin completed his mission just as quickly.

    After climbing to his feet, he casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before swaggering back toward his master.

    There was no point surrendering.

    This was about the honor of his lineage.

    Since nobody could dodge Feng Yizhi's Wind Bullet anyway, losing didn't make him look weak.


    ---

    Before Wu Qiaoqiao could react, Yu Feier gracefully flipped onto the arena.

    After activating every defensive Technique and Artifact she possessed, she smiled sweetly.

    "Senior Brother Feng Yizhi..."

    "Please... be gentle."

    Wind Bullet.

    Boom!

    She followed the previous three straight off the arena.


    ---

    Now only Wu Qiaoqiao remained.

    The little girl looked at Su Hao pitifully.

    "S-Senior Brother..."

    Su Hao calmly raised a finger.

    Wind Bullet.

    Boom!

    Wu Qiaoqiao also disappeared beneath the arena.


    ---

    The spectators stood frozen.

    Even many Golden Core cultivators couldn't help drawing in a cold breath.

    "The power of that Wind Bullet..."

    "...is terrifying."

    "And this Feng Yizhi..."

    "...is merciless."

    Someone sighed.

    "With such ruthless attacks..."

    "...how is he ever supposed to find a Dao Companion?"


    ---

    After recovering from their shock, everyone gradually accepted reality.

    Still...

    Something felt wrong.

    This wasn't the kind of battle they'd wanted to watch.

    Where were the flying Artifacts?

    Where were the exchanges of Techniques?

    Where was the back-and-forth struggle?

    Every match had ended with exactly one move.

    If ticket refunds had existed...

    Many spectators would probably have demanded one.


    ---

    After defeating all five challengers, Su Hao quietly remained standing in the center of the arena.

    Feng Ling had already told him that no further ceremony was necessary.

    Once all challengers had been defeated, the winner would automatically receive the Senior Brother Token of the Qi Induction Realm.

    For the next three years, that person would be acknowledged as the senior-most disciple of everyone in the Qi Induction Realm.


    ---

    He didn't wait long.

    The space above the arena rippled slightly.

    A small token slowly materialized before him, rotating gently while emitting a faint golden glow.

    The crowd immediately erupted.

    "The Senior Brother Token has appeared!"

    "I'm so jealous!"

    "I want one too!"

    "Does anyone know what it actually does?"

    "No idea."

    "The previous holders never explained it."

    "They only said that if you're capable enough to obtain it..."

    "...it's absolutely worth fighting for."


    ---

    Su Hao reached out and caught the glowing token.

    The golden light gradually faded, revealing its true appearance.

    It was about the size of a palm, yellow-gold in color, and had a metallic texture.

    One side bore the character "Senior."

    The other side bore the character "Brother."

    Turning it over in his hand, Su Hao examined it carefully before muttering to himself,

    "So..."

    "What exactly is the purpose of this Senior Brother Token?"

    "...Couldn't they at least include an instruction manual?"
