Chapter 567 - Tyrannical Strength Ding! Whoosh! Ding! Shi Lang continued his assault on Wu Zao relentlessly, but Wu Zao would always manage to block or deflect the attack. However, Wu Zao was also unable to close their distance, much less reach Shi Lang to attack him. "Ha!" Shi Lang suddenly took a large step forward while thrusting his spear, taking Wu Zao by surprise. "Not bad!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦 Wu Zao twisted his body in an odd manner, barely dodging the strike. After dodging, Wu Zao grabbed Shi Lang's spear with his bare hands, before pulling Shi Lang towards him. 'What incredible strength!' Shi Lang struggled to retrieve his spear, but he also didn't want to let go of his spear— he couldn't, or that would spell the end for him. However, that meant Wu Zao could finally reach him. Seeing that Shi Lang didn't let go of his spear, Wu Zao immediately stepped forward and swung his fan at Shi Lang, who used his other hand to block the fan. However, Shi Lang didn't temper his body like Hong Xiuquan had, so his arm was immediately bruised by the strike. Shi Lang endured the pain and used this chance to kick Wu Zao in the stomach, breaking his hold on the spear. The spectators cheered after realizing what had happened. "Looks like it will be Shi Lang's loss." Wang Ming said after assessing the situation. After getting hit in the arm by Wu Zao, Shi Lang could no longer hold his spear properly, and against someone like Wu Zao, that was akin to being crippled. And just like Wang Ming had predicted, the fight ended shortly after with Wu Zao becoming the victor. After the match, Shi Lang had his arm checked out, and the doctors told him that his bones were fractured, which wasn't too surprising considering that he got hit by Wu Zao's fan without any protection. While the doctors treated Shi Lang for his injuries, the fourth round started between Li Jinxi and Xi Murong. Li Jinxi was a cold beauty with short black hair while Xi Murong was a young man with long black hair. As for their weapons, Li Jinxi wielded a greatsword that was twice her size while Xi Murong had a small dagger in his grasp. "Wow, what a matchup." Wang Ming mumbled in a dazed voice. "Yuan, who do you think will win?" He suddenly asked. "Uhh… I'm not sure, but I can feel an unfathomable aura coming from that young lady." Yuan said after a moment of silence. "Well, believe it or not, Li Jinxi is actually the strongest disciple in the entire faction. She has a special body that gives her tyrannical strength. As for Xi Murong… Although he's very talented, he cannot compare to Li Jinxi. This is going to be a one-sided fight." Wang Ming said. "A special body? Like a physique in Cultivation Online?" Yuan asked. "Yes, something like that." Yuan became silent. This is his first time meeting someone in the real world that has a physique. Once the contestants were in their position, the announcer started the match. However, neither Li Jinxi nor Xi Murong moved a single inch after the battle started, both of them silently staring at each other. "Why aren't they moving?" Yuan asked after waiting for an entire minute. "Because the first one to move loses. Xi Murong may be quick on his feet, but he cannot defeat Li Jinxi with speed alone, and a single hit from her will spell the end for him. As for Li Jinxi… I guess she just wants to see what Xi Murong intends on doing." Wang Ming said. After many minutes of silence, Li Jinxi spoke in a nonchalant voice, "How boring. I guess you haven't managed to grow out of your cowardness, Xi Murong." "Sh—" Right as Xi Murong opened his mouth to speak, Li Jinxi suddenly dashed at him, forcing Xi Murong to close his mouth to focus on her. Once she was in range, Li Jinxi swung her large sword at Xi Murong, who quickly turned his body to dodge the incoming attack. However, Li Jinxi suddenly changed her sword's trajectory midway through her attack, hitting Xi Murong in his sides and sending him flying off the stage like a broken ragdoll. "Heavens! Did you see how she moved that sword midway?! What kind of movement was that?!" The spectators were shocked by Li Jinxi's display of tremendous strength. "I can only imagine someone with her physique being able to execute such a ridiculous attack." Senior Wang said with a smile on her face. "Her sword isn't light either. It requires a tremendous amount of raw strength to change the sword's trajectory after swinging it in such a manner." Senior Li agreed. And he continued, "You should see how she trains. It's almost barbaric." After throwing Xi Murong off the stage with a single strike, Li Jinxi casually walked off the stage, and she would look at Yuan while doing so, her gaze seemingly filled with anticipation. Meanwhile, the doctors rushed to check Xi Murong's condition. "My lord… Every single bone in his left side is broken." The doctors began sweating profusely after realizing the extent of Xi Murong's injuries. "Li Jinxi went easy on him, as she could've easily torn his body in half with her monstrous strength," said another. The doctors quickly placed Xi Murong on a stretcher before taking him to a hospital that was located inside the Jaded Garden. Meanwhile, the Li Family apologized to the Xi Family for Li Jinxi's actions. "I'm sorry. Li Jinxi isn't very good at holding back… And she doesn't learn no matter how many times we tell you to do so…" Senior Li sighed. "Don't worry about it. This happens every time she fights someone," said Senior Xi. "Well, they say pain is weakness leaving the body. Xi Murong was too reserved today. It was an embarrassment to watch… He also needs to be scolded afterward," said the head of the Xi Family, Xi Murong's father.
