Chapter 379

Suo Hao calmly walked to the platform, jumped on, and walked to the middle of the platform, waiting for the challenger.

He didn’t want to be modest with these young people; they all smiled on the surface, but in their hearts, they only thought about how to strike hard on the platform and win the final victory.

The “Senior Brother Token” was very attractive to them. Firstly, the Senior Brother Token represented the strongest disciple of a realm within the sect. Whether it was in the Qi Induction Realm or the Golden Core Realm, earning the title of the strongest was a symbol of talent and strength without any compromise, which definitely represented talent and strength. Secondly, it was said that the Senior Brother Token was a very special magic tool, made of special materials. Obtaining the Senior Brother Token had great benefits for cultivators.

Indeed, those who could win the final victory were not easy to deal with; they were very scheming.

From another perspective, these few were indeed cultivation geniuses!

However, it was meaningless.

The five disciples watched as Suo Hao silently jumped onto the platform, and couldn’t help but exchange glances, all seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

“This person is so arrogant and conceited! We were all thinking about how to arrange the order of challenging on the platform, but unexpectedly, he just jumped up there.”

However, it also suited their intentions. With someone taking the lead, the rest became simpler.

Clouds Covering Moon, Wind Under Moon, Wind Blowing Rain, Rain Hitting Dust, Dust Dissolving Mist! This was the sorting rule of the Yunzhong Valley, with mutual restraint.

(TN:

Yun=Cloud

Yue=Moon

Feng=Wind

Yu=Rain

Chen=Dust

Wu=Mist)

And now, Suo Hao, representing the Feng Lineage, took the initiative to step onto the platform, making the first battle clear.

The four people of Yun, Yu, Chne, and Wu all turned to look at Yue Shangzi.

Yue Shangzi smiled confidently, stepped onto the platform, and faced Suo Hao.

“It seems that I can easily win the first round!”

The onlookers below immediately cheered loudly. The thrilling moment they had been waiting for was about to come.

What was watching the platform for?

To watch what?

To fight! The more blood and the more intense, the better! It’s like watching a super action movie, where punches hit flesh and blood splatters, making people’s blood boil and awakening the violent factor within them.

At this moment, Feng Cheng was like he had taken hormones, shouting loudly, “Senior Brother is mighty! Master, look, Senior Brother was the first one to go up! Hurry, cheer for Senior Brother with me!”

Feng Ling increasingly felt that her second disciple’s brain was somewhat abnormal. Every time there was a fight, he would get excited as if he had drunk several jin of liquor.

After Suo Hao and Yue Shangzi exchanged greetings, Suo Hao said, “Are you ready?”

Yue Shangzi confidently replied, “Of course, let’s begin!”

With that, he made hand gestures, and a layer of silver-white shield surrounded him, about to release his magic tool with a gesture.

“Wind Bullet”!

“Beep—”

A bright light flashed and hit the shield of Yue Shangzi.

“Boom—”

The shield of Yue Shangzi shattered. Although the inner layer of protective magic tool blocked Suo Hao’s “Wind Bullet”, the powerful impact sent Yue Shangzi flying fiercely, falling outside the platform.

“Hiss—” The audience fell silent for a moment, followed by many gasps.

“What the hell! Is it fake?”

“How could Senior Brother Yue Shangzi lose like this? Did that attack really come from just one finger?”

“Idiot~ Why else would he be called Feng Yizhi?”

(TN: Yizhi=One Finger)

“What kind of magic tool is that?”

“That magic tool is called One Finger…”

Even Feng Ling, who was prepared, couldn’t help but almost curse. She didn’t expect Suo Hao to actually make it this far. You know, Suo Hao only started cultivating for a year…

Many disciples, after a year of cultivation, still didn’t know what magic was!

At this moment, Feng Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief and gradually calmed down. Seeing Feng Ling’s astonished expression, he couldn’t help but remind her, “Master, don’t be surprised, Senior Brother is a genius!”

Feng Ling smiled, cursing inwardly, “Genius my ass, he’s obviously a monster!”

Geniuses usually had their traces, but Suo Hao’s growth seemed inexplicable to her! However, when others asked, she still had to pretend to be normal: “You’re talking about Feng Wei, right? He’s a genius! All taught by me! That’s it!”

The four of Yun, Yu, Chen, and Wu watched as Yue Shangzi went up on the platform, then watched him being blasted off, and for a moment, they all froze, unable to react.

“What the heck is this?”

So, who’s going up next?

Yu, Chen, and Wu all involuntarily looked at Yun Qingping, implying that as the head of the sect’s main lineage, it was his turn!

Yun Qingping also didn’t want to undermine the morale of his lineage. He took a deep breath, his brain rapidly spinning, and slowly climbed onto the platform, making hand gestures.

“Five Clouds Rising Sun Shield!”

“Tortoise Shell Bodyguard Plate!”

“Floating Clouds Thousand Miles Movement!”

Better activate the protective shield and footwork first.

Suo Hao asked, “Are you ready?”

Yun Qingping waved his hand and summoned his magic weapon, the Scattered Cloud Spear, floating by his side, and nodded, “I’m ready. Senior Brother Feng Yizhi, go ahead.”

Suo Hao raised his hand and slowly pointed at Yun Qingping. Suo Hao’s movements were too slow, leaving Yun Qingping unsure of where to dodge.

“Wind Bullet”!

“So fast!” Yun Qingping’s pupils contracted, unable to dodge!

“Boom—”

Yun Qingping was struck as if by a huge hammer, thrown backwards, falling below the platform. Then he quickly got up, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, murmuring, “Couldn’t… dodge, couldn’t… block!”

Yu Feier and Wu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Xin, and Chen Xin thought, he had to go up and give it a try, getting knocked off once in the morning and once in the evening. So he casually said, “Alright! I’ll go first!”

“Wind Bullet”!

“Boom—”

Then Chen Xin completed his mission, got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and swaggered towards his master.

There was no way to surrender, not in this lifetime. It involved the dignity of his lineage. Anyway, no one could dodge or block the Feng Yizhi’s Wind Bullet. Chen Xin wouldn’t lose face! In this kind of intra-sect competition, if he didn’t even have the courage to face resistance, then he might as well never lift his head again.

Before Wu Qiaoqiao could react, Yu Feier flipped onto the platform. After putting on a full set of protection, she said, “Senior Brother Feng Yizhi… be gentle!”

“Wind Bullet”!

“Boom!”

Yu Feier followed suit after the first three.

Then it was Wu Qiaoqiao’s turn. Wu Qiaoqiao looked pitifully at Senior Brother, “Senior… Senior Brother!”

“Wind Bullet”!

“Boom!”

Wu Qiaoqiao fell beneath the platform!

The spectators below were stunned, even the Golden Core cultivators couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spine: “The power of this Wind Bullet is a bit too strong! The heart of this Feng Yizhi is a bit too ruthless!”

“He’s so merciless in his attacks, how will he find Dao companions in the future?”

After a brief adjustment, these disciples quickly accepted the result, but something seemed off!

This wasn’t the fighting scene they wanted to see, with punches hitting flesh, blood splattering, magic tools flying, and spells exchanging!

If they could get a refund, they would definitely protest.

After sending everyone off the platform, Suo Hao stood still, waiting. Feng Ling had told him that there was no need for any formalities; the winning disciple could directly obtain the “Senior Brother Token” representing the Qi Induction Realm. For three years, they would be the big senior brothers of all Qi Induction disciples, symbolizing the glory of the sect.

Suo Hao didn’t wait long before the air distorted for a moment, and a small token slowly appeared in front of him, rotating slowly, emitting a faint yellow light.

“Wow—”

Almost everyone was excited, looking at the small token in front of Suo Hao, their eyes gleaming.

“The first Senior Brother Token has appeared!”

“So jealous, I want one too!”

“Does anyone know what the Senior Brother Token is used for?”

“I don’t know! The Senior Brothers who have obtained the token have never mentioned it, only saying that if you have the ability, it’s something worth fighting for.”

Suo Hao reached out and took the token emitting a yellow light in his hand. The light on the token slowly disappeared, revealing its original appearance.

With its yellow exterior and metallic texture, it seemed to be made of gold. On the front was the word “Token”, and on the back was engraved with the word “Senior Brother”.

Suo Hao examined the token in his hand, “So, what is the use of this Senior Brother Token? Is there no instruction manual?”

    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?"
