The exciting fight silenced the audience on stage, their eyes glued to the arena.

A loud roar was heard.

Xia Linyuan, holding a staff enveloped in golden light, leaned in from above.

Zhang Lingyu was in a sorry state, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Golden light transformed into a pair of golden hands, which steadily parried the attack. The shockwave generated by the two forces swept away all the dust in the arena!

The Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, Lingyu unleashed its golden light in time. Otherwise, I would have been seriously injured..."

'But the staff that Lingyu is using looks familiar...'

Chapter 53 Six Kings Spear

"Golden Light Curse!"

Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as the golden giant hand directly slapped Xia Linyuan back. His eyes scrutinized Xia Linyuan from head to toe, and he frowned as he asked, "Brother, how do you know the Taoist arts of my Longhu Mountain?"

Xia Linyuan planted his stick in the arena and stopped. He stood tall and looked directly at Zhang Lingyu: "My Golden Light Spell was taught to me by the Old Celestial Master."

Seeing Xia Linyuan's dignified appearance and clear eyes, Zhang Lingyu realized he didn't seem like a petty thief. Could the Golden Light Mantra really have been taught to him by their master? Thinking this, Zhang Lingyu tentatively asked, "Junior Brother?"

Xia Linyuan's lips twitched. So, he really was just going along with it.

In terms of seniority...

The Golden Light Mantra was meant to be passed down to my grandfather by the previous Celestial Master. My grandfather and the Celestial Master were of the same generation, but I am also my grandfather's grandson, so I should call Zhang Lingyu... Uncle-Master?

They're a generation younger. That won't do.

Overturn and start over.

The Golden Light Mantra was meant to be passed down to my grandfather by the previous Celestial Master. One was willing to steal it, and the other was willing to teach it. Although the attempt failed, it still counts as a partial line of inheritance, so I became his disciple.

The old Celestial Master passed on the Golden Light Mantra to me to make up for the regrets of the previous Celestial Master. Strictly speaking, I should also be considered a half-disciple of the previous Celestial Master...

Xia Linyuan's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhang Lingyu, word by word, "Uncle-Master."

Zhang Lingyu suddenly realized that it was a disciple of one of her senior brothers, and was about to say something.

Then Xia Linyuan said, "You should call me Martial Uncle."

Zhang Lingyu was stunned.

My master has been dead for so many years, where did this young master come from?

"You mean I should call you 'Master Uncle'?"

Xia Linyuan calculated it again to make sure there were no problems. He nodded.

Zhang Lingyu laughed in exasperation; they actually joked about his advisor. However, his good manners prevented him from getting angry on the spot. He would ask his master about the truth after the match.

Zhang Lingyu extended a hand, challenging, "In that case, let's begin the second round... Uncle-Master!"

Xia Linyuan did not move. Zhang Lingyu's golden light was much more solid than his half-baked golden light, and his skill in transforming was also very high.

Using the Ruyi Force would indeed be able to defeat Zhang Lingyu. However, using the Lü family's techniques in public seems inappropriate. Although no powerful figures are currently watching the Earthly Branch arena, the presence of many eyes and ears makes it safer to use the Peach Blossom Garden's techniques...

As Xia Linyuan thought to himself, he began to move, shifting his weight downwards and gripping the stick with both hands, one in front of the other, with one end of the stick pointing at Zhang Lingyu. Clearly, this was not a stick-fighting style.

The golden light wrapped around the white waxwood staff wriggled and extended out at one end, forming a pointed tip. A six-section spear, about four meters and thirty inches long, was now in hand.

Zhang Lingyu was slightly moved. "The method of transforming things."

Xia Linyuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Zhang Lingyu. 'A direct confrontation with golden light is no match, but breaking through from a single point is still possible...'

"Look at the gun!"

As Xia Linyuan spoke, he moved with lightning speed, wielding the Six Harmonies Spear as he spun upwards, his left hand twirling the spear while his right hand thrust it towards Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu dared not meet the attack head-on and retreated, as the golden hand behind him reached out to grab the spear shaft.

However, Xia Linyuan was very perceptive.

The Six Kings Spear is considered one of the most exquisite martial arts in Peach Garden. It is created by practicing the Six Harmony Spear to its extreme, combining the inner three harmonies (essence, energy, and spirit) with the outer three harmonies (waist, hands, and eyes) in a wonderful way!

The movements are concise and swift, and the marksmanship is rich, with offense and defense both occurring in an instant.

Xia Linyuan lowered his spear to a low stance, his movements and steps perfectly synchronized. Using the spear as a waist lock, he retracted his stance while gripping the shaft tightly with his left hand, then shifted into a crouching position and thrust the Six Harmonies Spear once more towards Zhang Lingyu.

The shot came suddenly, and Zhang Lingyu never expected to be able to retaliate in this way.

The only way to avoid it was to slightly turn one's body to the side.

The spear pierced Zhang Lingyu's golden light and grazed past the tip of his nose.

Xia Linyuan did not withdraw his spear stance, but instead moved his body along with the spear, getting close to Zhang Lingyu.

Upon getting close, he tossed his spear high into the air and, taking advantage of Zhang Lingyu's lack of golden light, unleashed a set of Xingyi Quan.

Tiger Embraces Head, Drilling Fist and Chopping Fist, Stepping Forward with Drilling Fist, Stepping Forward with Crushing Fist. This directly shattered Zhang Lingyu's golden light, causing him to stagger. He turned around and performed a somersault, lifting Zhang Lingyu up again.

The serpentine step forward, delivering a powerful hammer blow, followed by a sweeping motion of the hand and palm. In an instant, the blow aimed directly at Zhang Lingyu's chest.

Xia Linyuan did not want to reveal more of his martial arts skills, so he could not let Zhang Lingyu use his lightning technique. He could only take this opportunity to defeat Zhang Lingyu completely.

Dragon Form - Azure Dragon Emerging from Water: Xia Linyuan stepped forward in a bow stance, raised his left palm in front of his chest, and threw out a flat fist with his right hand! It struck Zhang Lingyu's nose.

Zhang Lingyu leaned back, and Xia Linyuan switched to Crane Form, unleashing a Cannon Fist that struck Zhang Lingyu in the stomach, sending him flying backward....

Having finished everything, Xia Linyuan exhaled a deep breath. He reached out and retrieved the white candlesticks he had thrown into the sky, which were then enveloped in golden light and transformed into a spear.

Xia Linyuan moved with ghostly steps, his figure flashing, the tip of his spear pointing at Zhang Lingyu's throat, and said calmly, "Admit defeat..."

Zhang Lingyu was now bruised and battered, a far cry from his cool and aloof demeanor before the match.

Zhang Lingyu never expected Xia Linyuan to be so cunning. He magnified even the slightest disadvantage, leaving her completely unable to retaliate.

I thought it was a close match, but...

I also have Thunder Magic.....

Just as Zhang Lingyu was about to move, Xia Linyuan's spear tip moved even closer.

Seeing Zhang Lingyu's unwilling expression, Xia Linyuan said softly, "Master Zhang, you have already lost. If you were Quanxing, you would already be dead..."

Zhang Lingyu's expression froze.

Killed in action....

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu remained silent, Xia Linyuan looked up at the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain and asked, "Hello, may I announce the results now?"

The Taoist priest was taken aback. Although he knew that his junior brother had not yet shown his true skills, he was indeed unable to continue the competition now that a gun was at his neck.

According to the rules...

"I hereby declare! Zhang Lingyu versus Xia Linyuan."

Xia Linyuan wins!

"Ahhh! That's amazing, Yuan'er! I love you to death!" Zang Long cheered immediately.

However, most people shook their heads and sighed, because in their minds, no matter how strong a dark horse newcomer was, he could not be stronger than Zhang Lingyu, the disciple of the Celestial Master!

Most people bet their money on Zhang Lingyu.

They looked at the jubilant Zang Long and wished they could kick him off the stage.

Chapter 54 Failure

Xia Linyuan glanced at Zang Long from afar and nodded slightly at him.

Then he turned to Zhang Lingyu, reached out his hand, and asked softly, "Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Zhang Lingyu sat on the competition field, his nose still bleeding uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Xia Linyuan gently inserted a Qi Condensation Needle into a spot one inch above Zhang Lingyu's hairline. This spot is called the Shangxing acupoint, which is most effective in stopping nosebleeds.

A few seconds later, Zhang Lingyu's nosebleed stopped.

Zhang Lingyu looked up at Xia Linyuan and asked softly, "Why?"

Xia Linyuan countered, "What do you mean, why?"

Zhang Lingyu asked, puzzled, "You're much stronger than me, I admit that, so why did you have to win against me this way? What did I do to offend you?"

Xia Linyuan touched his nose. He couldn't very well say that he killed you instantly because he thought you were troublesome.

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly and pulled Zhang Lingyu up from the ground, even thoughtfully brushing the dust off his body. He said gently, "Because I think you are very strong and deserve my serious attention. Giving my all is, in my opinion, a sign of respect for you."

"What, you don't like it?"

Zhang Lingyu had nothing to say, swallowing her anger and saying dejectedly, "It's nothing, I really like it, it's just that I feel a little ashamed of my master's teachings for losing so easily."

Xia Linyuan shook his head and said, "No, your master would definitely like to see you lose."

Zhang Lingyu looked at Xia Linyuan, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

'Because he's your master, he asked me to ambush you...'

Xia Linyuan looked at Zhang Lingyu calmly. Zhang Lingyu's face was adorned with a red and purple mask; purple dominated his forehead and cheeks, red his eyebrows and eyes, and a bluish-purple hue on his nose—truly a loyal, brave, and filial person. As for the slight greenish tinge on his chin, it was almost negligible.

"Because failure is the mother of success, some people have bad luck in everything, while others have everything go smoothly. People in different situations cannot understand the suffering of others."

"You lost to me today, but for you, experiencing failure is also a form of self-cultivation. Today's failure is to make you a better person tomorrow."
