Chapter 271: Chapter 129 Defeated by a Slap
Not only were both of them incredulous, but even the guards and the coachman at the door widened their eyes in disbelief.
“Charming others isn’t supposed to make them willing to give, is it? What on earth is this business of thinking on behalf of others?”
Ignoring the expressions of the people around her, Fu Yingying looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile, “Do you think this will do? If you really don’t want to compete, we don’t have to…”
“Uh… there’s nothing wrong with a little competition!”
Seeing her so cautious and worried that he would get angry, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that Fox Charm Destiny… probably wasn’t as bad as he had imagined…
Fu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fu Qingqing in front of her, “Third sister, I’m okay now. Since you want to compete, let’s begin!”
“You’re just setting yourself up to lose!”
Fu Qingqing turned her head to Su Yunzhe and snorted coldly, “Beat him mercilessly, show no mercy! Also, if you lose, don’t expect me to acknowledge you anymore…”
“Don’t worry!”
Su Yunzhe’s eyes flashed, “I will definitely not lose!”
After speaking, he took two steps closer to Zhang Xuan and looked at him with a hint of confusion, “Have we met before?”
He was at Heaven Mandate Hall when he dueled with Yan Sansan, and Zhang Xuan was also present then. Although they didn’t speak to each other, they had seen each other’s faces.
“Begin!”
Zhang Xuan didn’t feel like explaining.
“It seems you don’t know who I am, that’s why you dare to have such an attitude!”
Su Yunzhe snorted coldly, “Considering the effort you put into your practice, such a low level of cultivation at your age… How about this, just admit defeat, kneel and apologize, and we’ll let today’s matter go!”
“Admit defeat?” Zhang Xuan looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.
Su Yunzhe nodded, “That’s right! Let me tell you frankly, I am Su Yunzhe, who was once ranked second on the Galaxy Potential List. Before my breakthrough, I was able to battle against those at the pinnacle of the first level of the Galaxy Realm. Now that I’ve broken through, I can even fight against those in the double levels… Do you think you are worthy to be my opponent?”
Fu Qingqing frowned, “Why all the nonsense, get on with it!”
“Yes! Since Qingqing has spoken, I shall not hold back!”
Su Yunzhe nodded repeatedly, extending three fingers, “Three moves. Within three moves, I will make you kneel and apologize…”
After speaking, he reached into the air and a surge of massive strength descended.
This palm strike was indeed much stronger than what had been seen at Heaven Mandate Hall; the aura was commanding, the strength fierce. Before it landed, it formed a wall of energy about three meters in diameter.
“Enough talk!”
Zhang Xuan took a step forward, not exhibiting too much movement, just a casual wave of his hand.
Whoosh!
The surging wall of energy dissipated in the blink of an eye, and afterward, Su Yunzhe was hit in the face, flying horizontally and crashing into the carriage.
“What?”
“Was Su Yunzhe from the Galaxy Realm slapped flying by someone from the Dharma Form Realm?”
“How did he do that?”
The onlookers at the scene, one by one, opened their mouths wide and their eyes bulged with roundness.
What everyone thought would be a one-sided situation…turned out to be just that, only the direction was not what anyone expected…
Fu Qingqing was also stunned, her pretty face turning red with anger as she turned to Su Yunzhe, “You trash, didn’t you say that among those of the same age and level, almost no one could be your match? How is it that you can’t even defeat someone weaker than you…”
“I…”
Struggling to stand up, Su Yunzhe’s face alternated between red and white, then gritted his teeth, “I was just careless for a moment… Qingqing, rest assured, I will win this time!”
After speaking, he took a deep breath, and the power of the Galaxy Realm rolled through his meridians, producing a muffled rumbling like thunder.
“Brat, I let you off the hook just now, but I won’t be so courteous this time…”
Whoosh!
Before he could finish his sentence, he charged at Zhang Xuan, reaching out into the air and creating four shadow clones, employing his mightiest cultivation technique, the Five Extremes Palm.
Cultivated to its highest level, it could produce five palm shadows, making defense nearly impossible. Though not yet perfected to the extreme, it was already considered a Major Accomplishment.
Having reached such a cultivation realm during the contest with Yan Sansan, he was confident in attaining victory.
“Lie down!”
With that roar, before his words faded, another palm had inexplicably appeared on his face.
Bang!
He flew out again, crossing over ten meters and crashing hard to the ground.
“You…”
Su Yunzhe was filled with disbelief. Just as he tried to struggle to his feet, he saw Zhang Xuan had already approached, pressing down with his hand slightly, and an endless surge of strength fell like a wave, nearly shattering his bones.
“I, I admit defeat…”
Knowing that he couldn’t withstand the full brunt if the strength fully descended, Su Yunzhe quickly shouted out.
Whoosh! The pressure dissipated as if it had never existed. Looking again at Zhang Xuan, he had already returned to Fu Yingying’s side, utterly calm as if he had never made a move.
“Worthless, absolutely worthless!”
Fu Qingqing couldn’t believe such a talent would give in so easily and admit defeat without even resisting. Her face flushed red with anger, full of disdain.
“Third sister, what about the bet we just made?”
Fu Yingying looked over with a beaming smile.
“I…”
Fu Qingqing turned her head toward Su Yunzhe, “Are you going to kneel and apologize right now? Do you really want me to be humiliated?”
“Yes!”
With an embarrassed face, Su Yunzhe still went in front of the two, his knees weakening as he knelt to the ground, “I’m sorry… it’s my fault for being blind. It has nothing to do with Qingqing!”
“Hmph!”
Once he finished apologizing, Fu Qingqing was too ashamed to stay any longer, flicked her sleeves, and strode into the mansion’s gates.
“Qingqing, Qingqing…”
With a complex expression, Su Yunzhe glanced at Zhang Xuan and the others, then hurriedly chased after her.
“This…”
Zhang Xuan shook his head, “Are you sure someone who can be captivated so easily still deserves the title ‘genius’? Can they continue to break through their limits and grow stronger?”
Practice is a process of continuously challenging oneself. Every genius is arrogant and proud, harboring an indomitable spirit within. Only with such a spirit can one constantly surpass oneself and keep moving forward.
This Su Yunzhe, who had been wilful and unbending during his duel with Yan Sansan, full of defiant pride, was now merely following orders, kneeling when told to kneel, doing what he was told, a complete lapdog…
Such people, even if initially talented, would grow progressively weaker with the passage of time, eventually becoming indistinguishable from the masses.
“I don’t know either…”
Fu Yingying shook her head, then looked over with admiring eyes, “But you’re right, I believe in your judgment!”
“Let’s go.”
Zhang Xuan had not expected this woman, after being charmed by him, would also become love-struck. Knowing further questions would be pointless, he no longer probed and strode towards the courtyard ahead.
Shortly, they entered a spacious grand hall and Zhang Xuan looked over to see Fu Qingqing and Su Yunzhe had already arrived. There were also five other young ladies, each with their unique charm and exceptional beauty.
In an instant, it felt like entering a land of women, alluring to the extreme.
With his Eye of Insight active, Zhang Xuan looked over the ladies.
Just as Fu Yingying had said, among them were four women who had achieved the Heart of Tranquil Water in the mastery of Fox Charm Destiny, and the remaining three were all at the pinnacle of the first level.
Seven sisters, each one stunningly beautiful, enchanting to the extent that two of them were on par with or even surpassed Fu Yingying in style and grace.
Originally, he had been confident in handling Fu Yingying, but upon seeing these girls, his confidence wavered.
“To gain the inheritance, my strength is only one part. More importantly, I must help Fu Yingying to swiftly comprehend the second realm!”
Everyone was about equally beautiful, some even with better presence. Without breaking through to the second level of Fox Charm Destiny, there would be no advantage.
And to break through, one must successfully charm others, preferably a genius…
Looking around.
As Fu Yingying had said, the other six sisters had brought along followers who were all geniuses. The eldest wasn’t more than thirty years old, and all of them had reached the Galaxy Realm. This included Fei Ling, previously first on the potential list, second-placed Su Yunzhe, and Yan Sansan, who had defeated them both.
Certainly, Yan Sansan had the highest talent among the crowd. If he could be charmed, Fu Yingying would surely break through immediately.
However, his presence here meant that he must have already been charmed by someone else and had lost his value.
Zhang Xuan looked towards the woman next to Yan Sansan.
She was one of the women who had reached the second realm of Fox Charm Destiny, dressed in green, lacking Fu Qingqing’s heavy makeup and not as scantily clothed as Fu Yingying, yet she exuded a refined elegance that complemented her lovely features.
No wonder she was able to captivate a proud and arrogant prodigy like Yan Sansan, who willingly followed her.
If Fu Yingying could charm her, not only would the issue of reaching the second realm be resolved, but their advantage in the struggle for the inheritance would also significantly increase.
Upon reaching the second realm of Fox Charm Destiny, he knew that to charm someone, you just had to make them devoted, regardless of gender.
Fu Yingying, already captivated by him, was willingly playing the lapdog. Asking her to go and charm other men clearly wouldn’t be appropriate.
“I must think of a way…”
Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
