Chapter 334: Chapter 333: Defeating Huang Yu!

Early in the morning on the third day, Du Gang arrived at the martial arts competition ground. It wasn’t that he was worried about being late; rather, he wanted to arrive early to see if Jiang Tianxin was coming for him.

However, upon reaching the venue, there was still no sign of Jiang Tianxin, and the one standing in the ring was still his follower.

This was indeed the marriage proposal martial contest of Jiuyang Villa, yet the promoter himself was absent, instead having his followers stand in for him.

However, the people of Jiuyang Villa didn’t dare to say too much.

The reason was that the God King from the Jiang family who had come this time possessed a very strong power, much stronger than Zhang Youwei!

Anyone with discerning eyes knew that if Jiang Tianxin’s follower came out on top and didn’t marry Zhang Xinyi in the end, Jiuyang Villa would lose all its prestige.

Given the attitudes demonstrated by Jiang Tianxin and his follower, it was clear that they came here not for Zhang Xinyi.

In the competition ground, there were ten contestants who had advanced to the third day, including Du Gang, Jiang Tianxin’s follower, Huang Yu, and seven top-160 contestants.

Red Fire Kid, whom Du Gang met on the first day, didn’t appear. The fellow was quite naive about the things between men and women. He only came here because of the bustling crowd.

Now, there were people everywhere on the platform, and the fellow had long forgotten there was a martial arts contest going on here.

And the remaining seven, after glancing at Huang Yu and Jiang Tianxin’s follower, voluntarily announced their decision to drop out of the competition.

Both Huang Yu and Jiang Tianxin were beyond their ability to compete. Rather than embarrass themselves, they might as well withdraw early.

Thus, only the three of them were left in the ring.

Huang Yu looked at Du Gang and began to laugh, “Brother Du, I didn’t expect we would meet again here, in this way!”

Du Gang nodded and chuckled, “Brother Huang, I have been fond of Miss Zhang Xinyi for a long time. In this competition, it seems we need to determine who is better!”

Huang Yu looked at Du Gang in surprise. He thought that Du Gang might want to have a talk with him and then opt for a tactical withdrawal, but surprisingly, he said such words.

“In that case, let’s exchange blows later!”

Finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Tianxin’s follower.

This follower, known as Broken Sword, was cold and silent, watching the two of them with detached eyes.

Seeing his inaction, Huang Yu probably understood that this man was waiting for a winner to emerge from their fight before making his move.

So he turned to Du Gang and smiled, “Brother Du, since we are not sure about him, shall we determine the victor between us first?!”

Du Gang nodded, “Sure!”

Soon, they both lightly stepped onto the ring and positioned themselves on either side.

And at the bottom of the stage, Broken Sword, who had been immobile, seemed to have garnered some interest. He walked to the front of their stage with his fists folded and started watching them compete.

Huang Yu casually took out a palm guard and slowly put it on, “Brother Du, my nickname is Qiankun Palm. I’m good at using palm strikes. Be careful!”

Du Gang slightly nodded and didn’t pull out his weapon.

Honestly, it had been a long time since he last summoned the Ancient God Spear after leaving the Ancient City.

The main reason was that he hadn’t encountered a worthy opponent. If the opponent’s strength was too weak, then there was no need, and if it was too strong, he could only run for his life, so he hadn’t had a chance to use it.

When facing Huang Yu, there was no need to summon any weapon. Their cultivation levels alone had a gap of over a hundred. While it seemed small, the actual difference was immense!

“Who is this guy, daring to fight against Huang Yu?!”

“I don’t know. I was wondering earlier if he might be a Human Ranking master, but I don’t recall seeing him on the Human Ranking list?!”

“Could he be the monstrous genius sent by a certain power?”

“How could he be? What are you thinking? A monstrous genius would not appear here casually!”

“Right, the possibility of a monstrous genius is small, but he could be a ‘Kirin Child’ representing a certain power!”

“He should be one of those less well-known guys…”

On the stage, Huang Yu looked at unarmed Du Gang, frowning slightly, “Brother Du, aren’t you going to…”

Du Gang coughed once, saying, “Brother Huang, forgive me. I’ve mastered everything with my own body!”

Upon hearing this, Huang Yu said no more but quickly launched into his technique, “Be careful, Brother Du!”

Having said that, he quickly performed the Seven-Star Step. His body moved as if creating a clone, constantly leaping about within a circular field.

And with his movement, a Bagua Map of Qiankun slowly appeared below him.

This Bagua Map of Qiankun looked majestic, as if it flew from the ancient times and was as boundless as the sea!

“Here it comes! Huang Yu’s Qiankun Palm is notoriously tricky. Not only does it contain the essence of the Qiankun Dao, but it also harmonizes with the Bagua. Once he puts it into action, the attack is incessant, almost invincible among peers of the same level!”

Someone frowned below the stage, “Isn’t that guy called Du Gang simply watching?”

“Doesn’t he know that once the Qiankun Bagua Palm is put into action, its power is endless? Even if he has a cultivation of over a hundred, I’m afraid he will be at a disadvantage!”

“Yes, once a master of this level is at a disadvantage, it’s hard to turn the tide, even with incredible abilities. What is he thinking?!”

On the stage, Huang Yu’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Normally, his thoughts were similar to those of the spectators below.

However, strangely enough, directly opposite him, Du Gang still seemed calm and relaxed. It was as if he had this match completely figured out, wanting to draw out Huang’s full strength.

How could that be?

He remembered distinctly that just twenty days ago, when he had encountered Du Gang, Du’s cultivation was at its peak, not surpassing 150.

Now, although he couldn’t see his strength, it couldn’t be at 170 like him, could it?!

Even in a novel, no one would dare to write such a development?!

Even if he had reached 170, was he so sure he could defeat him?

And was he so confident that he would let him unleash his Qiankun Palm?!

Many thoughts swirled in his mind, but once he fully mastered the Qiankun Bagua Palm, Huang Yu focused, beginning to use the palm technique.

No matter what, he would go all out. Bring it on!

“Complete Qiankun Bagua Palm, sixty-four styles, come at me!”

Huang Yu was, after all, a man of honor. He shouted a warning before striking, as a heads-up for Du Gang.

Upon seeing the stab, Du Gang revealed a small smile.

Respect was reciprocal. Since Huang Yu showed him respect, he wouldn’t embarrass him too much.

So, he wasn’t in a hurry to attack. Instead, he began dodging.

With his power level of 180, even if Huang Yu’s Complete Qiankun Palm was invincible among his equals, he managed to exploit many loopholes and successfully dodged.

“He dodged it!”

Many gasped in shock as Du Gang appeared to be intimately familiar with the Qiankun Bagua Palm. He moved from side to side, each maneuver expertly evading an attack. It looked quite mysterious.

“This Du Gang is not simple at all!”

Even though they had already suspected it, the crowd was still amazed at this sight.

“Who knows which powerhouse had this Kirin Child up their sleeves and why they waited this long to let him loose?!”

“This isn’t normal, he’s at a power level of over 170 at his debut. This kind of prodigy is not something ordinary forces can nurture. At the very least, I think he’s from a high-ranking force.”

One attacked, the other defended, and they moved around the stage, chasing and retreating.

Seeing this, Huang Yu’s heart sank.

How could he not understand that Du Gang was far stronger than him? He hadn’t attacked him because he was giving him face.

Giving face…

Did I, Huang Yu, actually need someone else’s mercy one day?!

He felt a little sorrowful. He had tried very hard, but when measured against these top-level figures, he was slightly lacking.

Actually, it was quite impressive for Huang Yu, from a second-tier force, to rank 256th on the Human Ranking. His potential and power were unquestionable.

Unfortunately, he met Du Gang, a guy who refused to play by the rules.

I don’t believe it!

A raging fire ignited in Huang Yu’s heart at that moment!

There is this technique that I haven’t mastered. But now, I will use it!

“Step… Step… Step…”

Suddenly, Huang Yu ceased his attack and stood at one end of the stage.

Sensing he had paused, Du Gang did not make a move either, but retreated to his previous position.

“Brother Du, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful…”

Huang Yu chuckled bitterly, shaking his head. “But, I am not ready to concede defeat so easily.”

“I have a move that I haven’t fully mastered. Its attacking power is very strong, but I want to try it. Brother Du, if you can dodge or block it, that would conclude this round!”

People below the stage understood that Huang Yu was out of options and could only pray that his strongest attack would be enough to decide the bout.

Du nodded, “You can use your move, Brother Huang. I will be here to receive it!”

Seeing him agree, Huang Yu inhaled deeply and after a while, slowly exhaled.

“If that’s the case, Brother Du, be careful!”

Everyone saw him alter his original stance transforms gradually. He moved his body freely, striking a very harmonious pose.

This pose gave anyone who looked at it a very comfortable feeling, as if seeing the path of Dao before their eyes.

Then, just when everyone had such feelings, a wind blew!

A gentle breeze slowly approached, the air around Huang Yu started to ripple with a powerful momentum.

As this momentum continued to rise, the divine power within him also gradually dispersed.

“My God, this powerful aura, it’s simply terrifying!”

“Forty thousand combat power!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise, “What is he trying to do?”

“Fifty thousand combat power!”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the aura around Huang Yu surged like a wolf smoke, rising up, as if materialized, it was very alarming.

“Sixty thousand combat power!”

Many were astounded, “Huang Yu is indeed deserving of his reputation, having sixty thousand combat power…”

Even before the crowd could recover from their shock, a sudden occurrence happened on the platform again.

With a roar from Huang Yu, his whole body seemed to expand out of thin air, a surging momentum emerged.

“Boom!”

The original sixty thousand combat power, at this moment, doubled, reaching one hundred and twenty thousand!

“How is this possible!”

Many were shocked, their eyes almost popping out, “How can his combat power reach one hundred and twenty thousand, am I seeing things?!”

“Ignorant!”

Someone scoffed, then quickly said solemnly, “For ordinary people, peak combat power is already quite rare, but for top talents, this is not the limit, there can be one hundred and sixty thousand, or even one hundred and eighty thousand!”

“And in between, there are methods to enhance one’s strength, which are secret techniques!”

“Secret techniques that can double one’s combat power, this is the gap between us and the top talents!”

“Huang Yu, I remember, his secret technique is White Rainbow Transformation Technique from White Rainbow Manor, which can maximize to four times the combat power!”

“Of course, currently he seems to have only cultivated to three times…”

As this voice fell, Huang Yu’s aura on the platform surged once again, swirling like a tornado, blue smoke curling up, shooting into the sky.

“One hundred and eighty thousand combat power!”

“Incredible!!”

“With such combat power, he must be invincible in the Human Ranking, right?!”

“Too terrifying, I didn’t expect Huang Yu to have such strength, it’s unimaginable!”

Down the platform, the faces of most people changed drastically, with expressions of shock etched on their faces.

Only a few, like Du Gang and Broken Sword, showed no change on their faces, evidently, they were not surprised by Huang Yu’s strength.

“The White Rainbow Transformation Technique of my White Rainbow Manor consists of four levels, each level can double the combat power, up to four times. And I have already cultivated to the level of triple combat power. I’m a little away from the fourth level, however, if forced, it’s not impossible…”

“However, there will be some price to pay, but today, I’m willing to pay this price. Brother Du, are you ready?!”

Under the platform, everyone was shocked, they couldn’t believe that Huang Yu could still double his power, it was incredible!

At this moment, not just them, even people far away on the platform were attracted by this astonishing aura.

“Who on earth is fighting, this powerful aura is so terrifying!”

“Too terrifying, isn’t there a demon fighting?!”

Many people have never really seen a demon fight, but the aura released by Huang Yu has surpassed their imaginations, they instinctively thought this was a demon’s battle, and immediately, shadows started to move, all heading towards the direction of the martial arts contest.

“This aura, looking at the direction, is from the Jiuyang Villa’s battle ground, I didn’t expect that there are masters there too, let’s go check it out!”

Many people, even the top one hundred strong contenders of the Human Ranking, were also attracted by this aura and headed there.

After all, their strength was more or less the same, only slightly better.

Anyone who could force Huang Yu to this extent, his opponent must be extraordinary!

“I’ve heard that Jiang Tianxin, the demon from the Jiang Family, also signed up for the martial arts contest. Is he the one fighting?!”

“Don’t know, it’s very possible, this is going to be a good show!”

Many people mistakenly thought that Jiang Tianxin was fighting, but in fact, Jiang Tianxin hadn’t even shown up at the scene.

At the moment, he was sitting in a courtyard surrounded by a prohibition, which was not a product of the Jiuyang Villa, but something he brought himself.

He sat on the rooftop of the courtyard, overlooking the distant martial arts contest platform, saying casually, “Let’s see if this Du Gang can withstand it. If he can, he is indeed qualified to make me take a trip!”

Surrounded by him were some young talents, basically all from noble families, all of them highly capable.

When others, affected by the force, arrived at the scene, they were baffled by the two men on the stage.

“Who are the two on the stage?”

“One seems to be Huang Yu, the strong man who ranked 256th in the previous Human Ranking…”

“I’ve never seen the other one before, He wasn’t on the Human Ranking either, Could it be, Jiang Tianxin?!”

“No, Jiang Tianxin’s followers are still below the stage, the one above is called Du Gang!”

The people who had been watching the battle here could not help but inform the new spectators.

After hearing these people’s descriptions, the newcomers knew that the man fighting with Huang Yu on the stage was called Du Gang, an unknown fellow.

Moreover, what was most unacceptable to the crowd was that Du Gang seemed to be gaining the upper hand, forcing Huang Yu to unleash his power.

“White Rainbow Transformation Technique—Fourth Layer!”

With a roar, Huang Yu’s momentum surged once again.

Momentum visible to the naked eye spread wildly, creating a terrifying wave of energy.

“240,000 combat power, Huang Yu did it!”

A strong man staring at Huang Yu exclaimed at this moment.

“This strength, if compared to before the appearance of the genius, could already rank in the top hundred of the Human Ranking!”

“Can Du Gang withstand it?”

The crowd was anxiously waiting, no longer daring to judge arbitrarily, after all, the two on the stage were beyond their reach.

“Kill!”

With a fierce shout, Huang Yu, his face vein-popped and blood vessels bulging, struck out a palm at Du Gang like a cannon.

This palm, like a cannonball, shot out with lightning speed.

And on the other side, Du Gang was startled and didn’t move.

Finally, when the astonishing palm print was about to hit him, he raised his hand and gently touched it.

“Boom!”

“Rumble!”

A violent explosion sounded, like the furious roar of a giant dragon, the stage in the field instantly burst, with sand and stones flying around.

Under the influence of these fragments, people around him could no longer see the situation in the field.

“What happened?!”

People didn’t know, they did not know who won, but whoever won would reach a new height!

Finally, as the sand and stones in front gradually dispersed, people saw the situation on the stage.

“This…”

Everyone was stunned.

They could only see Huang Yu on the stage, continually bleeding because of the premature erupting of a secret technique he couldn’t control, and opposite him.

Du Gang stood there untouched.

“Brother Du, this time, you have won. I, Huang, admit defeat!”

Huang Yu gave a wry smile, shaking his head, wiping away the traces of blood from his mouth, and stepped down the stage slowly.

“Du Gang!”

At this moment, countless people were murmuring, whispering this name.

This was the first time they had heard this name, but it shocked them indescribably.

“It’s just not known, which family and which force this Du Gang actually belongs to!”

On the stage, Du Gang slowly turned his gaze to Broken Sword, this follower of Jiang Tianxin.

“Aren’t you coming up? If you don’t come, I’ll win!”

Broken Sword looked at Du Gang seriously. His strength seemed to be not much different from that of Huang Yu. If even Huang Yu lost, how could he win?

Just at this moment, a voice descended from the sky.

“Du Gang, your strength is quite good, let me, Jiang Tianxin, meet you and see if you are as powerful as those old fellows said!”

Ps: Typed with a mobile phone all day, slow and tired. I hope to return to normal tomorrow.
