Xiao Ruohan's eyes widened in disbelief, never expecting such an outcome.
Caught completely off guard, she was sent flying backward by the impact.
Before even hitting the ground, she coughed up several mouthfuls of blood mid-air.
What was even harder for her to accept was that her dantian was injured, causing her qi and blood cultivation to plummet wildly.
The bones in the arm she used to strike were instantly shattered into several pieces.
"How can she be this strong!"
"Has she been hiding her true strength all along, deliberately luring me in?"
"My final stored-up move, 'Fierce Dragon's Roar,' I didn't even get a chance to use it!"
"Why did it end like this!"
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse!..."
Before losing consciousness, Xiao Ruohan, filled with bitter frustration, spat out another mouthful of blood.
She felt like an egg that had actively thrown itself against a massive steel hammer.
In the end, she couldn't even use the move she was most proud of.
Before Xiao Ruohan hit the ground, the referee swiftly caught her.
But sensing Xiao Ruohan's qi and blood rapidly declining, the referee knew he was still a step too late.
"She's finished!"
He originally thought he would be saving Liu Weiwei at the critical moment.
Never imagined it would end with a complete role reversal for himself.
Who could have predicted this?
"Sigh! My bonus is definitely all gone now."
Down below, Chen Feng stared in shock, his eyes wide.
A voice in his mind reminded him of what had just transpired.
[Congratulations on achieving the Master Instructor accomplishment.]
[Third disciple, Liu Weiwei, has comprehended the Tenth Form of the Crippled Kick: Heaven and Earth Reborn.]
[Reward to Master: 500 points of Qi and Blood.]
[Reward to Master: Tenth Form of the Crippled Kick, 'Unity of Heaven and Man' realm.]
At this moment, Chen Feng's qi and blood value finally surpassed the Grandmaster threshold, reaching three thousand six hundred points.
He had become a generation's Grandmaster.
"Yay! Junior Sister won!"
"Great news, Master! Junior Sister Weiwei is victorious!"
Jin Youxi jumped excitedly on the spot.
She cheered loudly without a care for her image.
Even happier than when she won her own match.
The audience at the scene was still utterly bewildered.
"What just happened? How did an ordinary-looking kick win so suddenly?"
"The White-Haired Dragon Maiden had the upper hand just now, how did she lose so abruptly?"
"I suspect she threw the match. She must have bet on herself to lose."
"Did the One-Kick girl use some kind of cheat?"
...
Even more bewildered than the audience were Duan Yan'er and Duan Changtian.
Just moments ago, Xiao Ruohan had the overwhelming advantage and was about to win.
Liu Weiwei clearly had reached her limit and was about to collapse.
The outcome was far too sudden.
With just one plain and unadorned kick from Liu Weiwei, Xiao Ruohan was sent flying.
Duan Yan'er found it hard to accept.
Glancing over, she saw Jin Youxi in the distance making a face at her.
Furious, she gritted her teeth until they made a grating sound.
Duan Changtian also cursed under his breath.
"Why does everything go wrong whenever we encounter this Chen Feng?"
At this moment, aside from Chen Feng and Liu Weiwei, no one knew exactly what had happened.
"Weiwei, like you, has truly had an enlightenment this time."
Jin Youxi's small mouth fell open in astonishment.
"You mean Weiwei also awakened the Tenth Form?"
The speaker might have been unintentional, but the listener was intentional.
Zhao Bing, who had been silent all along.
His heart was now in turmoil.
"Enlightenment!"
"So this is the true enlightenment!"
"I thought I had attained enlightenment before, but now I see I'm still far from it."
Previously, every time Zhao Bing gained an insight, his realm would improve significantly.
He always felt he was getting closer to the true essence of swordsmanship.
Only at this moment did he understand.
He was still far, far away.
It turned out both his senior sisters had already been able to comprehend new techniques.
His time with the Master was still too short.
His insights were still insufficient.
In the future, he must listen more to the Master's teachings.
And attain true enlightenment in the martial path sooner.
Liu Weiwei walked down from the arena, happily looking at her Master.
Jin Youxi went up and hugged Liu Weiwei, saying:
"Junior Sister, tell me quickly, what technique did you comprehend?"
Liu Weiwei also said happily:
"The move I comprehended is called Heaven and Earth Reborn.
"It combines the previous nine forms, removing the intent to kill, creating a new technique.
"It's not for killing enemies, but for resistance purely for the sake of protection."
Then, a sly voice sounded from behind Chen Feng.
"Senior Sister, I've attained enlightenment!"
"Removing the intent to kill is equivalent to removing a distracting thought, making the martial technique purer and thus more powerful!"
"As expected of Senior Sister, entering the school earlier, you've comprehended more.
"This junior has learned!"
Chen Feng wiped a cold sweat from his brow.
He felt that among the people present, he, the Master, had comprehended the least.
Relying entirely on his disciples to carry him.
The next day.
It was also the final day of the national tournament finals.
All three disciples had their matches almost simultaneously.
Chen Feng didn't know whose to attend.
After much thought, he decided to attend Jin Youxi's match.
Because Weiwei was more understanding and definitely wouldn't mind such things.
As for Zhao Bing, being a man, he surely wouldn't dwell on this issue.
Only Jin Youxi, the eldest senior sister, would definitely feel terrible if she found out he wasn't there watching her final.
The match was brief and decisive.
On the arena, Jin Youxi struck a beautiful pose.
Her 'Unity of Heaven and Man' realm Buddha's Palm was an instant knockout from the start.
With equal cultivation levels, the gap in their realm was simply too vast.
If her opponent had reached the 'Peak Perfection' realm, they might have been able to exchange a few rounds with Jin Youxi.
But in reality, among those with Advanced Warrior cultivation, almost no one could comprehend a martial technique to the 'Peak Perfection' realm.
After her match ended, seeing that her Master had attended her final and not gone to Weiwei or her junior brother's, Jin Youxi felt sweetness in her heart.
Walking off the arena, she said coyly:
Master, I knew you dote on me the most, but you shouldn't be too biased.
"Something as important as the finals, how could you only attend mine?
"Junior Sister Weiwei and Scarface Junior Brother also need your care."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Then he lectured:
"What Scarface Junior Brother! His name is Zhao Bing!"
The other two matches also went smoothly.
Liu Weiwei's final opponent was a genius from the Zhang family.
However, their opponent's Qiankun Great Shift basically couldn't do anything to her Crippled Kick.
The realm of their other martial skills was even more thoroughly crushed by Liu Weiwei.
Zhao Bing's match was also easy.
His opponent remained highly vigilant the entire time.
As soon as he heard Zhao Bing say, "Master, I've attained enlightenment!"
He would immediately surrender, saving himself from being pierced to death by a sword.
Fortunately, until his defeat, he never heard Zhao Bing's ultimate move line.
He lost with dignity!
The national tournament thus concluded.
Liu Weiwei, Warrior-level champion.
Jin Youxi, Advanced Warrior champion.
Zhao Bing, Top-Level Warrior champion.
[Congratulations on achieving the Master Instructor accomplishment.]
[Second disciple has obtained first place nationally.]
[Reward to Master: 300 points of Qi and Blood.]
...
In the end, the three disciples directly added nine hundred points of qi and blood to Chen Feng.
His qi and blood value skyrocketed to four thousand five hundred points.
Instantly reaching the mid-stage of Martial Grandmaster.
And that wasn't all.
The moment Liu Weiwei won the championship.
Chen Feng received another system prompt.
[Third disciple has triggered the Master Instructor accomplishment six times.]
[Acquired qualification for imparting a second martial art via empowerment.]
[Host, please select one of your own martial arts to bestow upon the disciple.]
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
