Chapter 9: Absolute Crush

“Emperor Xia, Prince Hun Tian has just come out of the Holy Demon Forest and doesn’t understand the rules. I hope Emperor Xia won’t take offense,” Wu You hurriedly bowed and said.

He then turned to Hun Tian, “Hurry up and apologize to Emperor Xia!”

Wu You’s palms were already sweating profusely, terrified that Emperor Xia might take offense and eliminate him on the spot.

Hun Tian could claim that these princes were useless, but he absolutely could not say it in front of Emperor Xia. That would be disrespectful to the sage! Even if Emperor Xia acted directly, outsiders wouldn’t dare blame him, and might even say that the Holy Demon Empire was poorly educated.

Seeing Wu You so anxious, Hun Tian realized he had spoken arrogantly and quickly knelt down to apologize to Emperor Xia.

“I spoke out of turn, please don’t hold it against me, Emperor Xia.”

“Since he is ignorant of the rules, then teach him well. If this happens again, I will personally consult the Demon Emperor about it.”

Emperor Xia’s words not only cut down Hun Tian’s arrogance but also conveyed that he didn’t even regard him that highly; only the Demon Emperor deserved his attention.

This was a perfect way to assert his authority without losing face.

“Father, I want to sign an agreement with Hun Tian. As long as this battle doesn’t leave the barrier, no one is allowed to interfere!”

Qin Bei disregarded Hun Tian’s arrogance. In the arrogance department, Qin Bei would never be outdone!

Emperor Xia froze for a moment, looking into Qin Bei’s eyes as if he were putting together the pieces of a puzzle, though a bit of worry crept in.

Although Qin Bei wasn’t the favorite, he was still his son, and now he had extraordinary talent. Emperor Xia was beginning to show concern for Qin Bei; if anything went amiss during the duel, it would be a big loss.

“Father, I’m confident.” Seeing the worry in Emperor Xia’s eyes, Qin Bei spoke with assurance.

“Good! I agree!” Emperor Xia waved his hand, and the matter was settled just like that.

He didn’t even care what Hun Tian and the others were thinking—this was the home advantage at its finest!

Wu You retreated with an ugly expression, leaving only Qin Bei and Hun Tian inside the barrier.

“I admire your courage, but while courage is admirable, your decision is foolish, because it means I can decide your fate at will! Really stupid!”

Hun Tian felt quite choked up. This agreement had taken effect without his consent—anyone would be furious!

But knowing he had absolute confidence in defeating Qin Bei made him feel better.

“Since it’s a battle between those of the same realm, then you should first rise to the Foundation Establishment realm,” Hun Tian said.

With so many experts present, it would be quite simple for Qin Bei, a Body Refinement Realm cultivator, to temporarily possess the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“No need; it’s just the Foundation Establishment Realm. My Body Refinement Realm is enough to deal with it. There’s no need to advance my cultivation,” Qin Bei said calmly.

At that moment, he showed everyone what true arrogance looked like!

No matter how strong your demon and divine forms may be, I still won’t give you the time of day—I’m even challenging you across two major realms!

This kind of aura isn’t something everyone can muster.

“Has Xiao Bei gone mad? He can’t even win at the same level, and now he wants to fight across realms? This…”

“Since even father hasn’t opposed it, let’s wait and see. If it really goes south, I’ll step in,” said Qin Zhen.

Though there was a so-called agreement, this was the Great Xia’s territory; they certainly wouldn’t sit idly by while Qin Bei found himself facing yet another disaster like with Qin Zhen.

“Hmph! Arrogant! If that’s the case, then I’ll suppress my realm to the Ninth Level of Body Refinement!”

Hun Tian was a proud person who couldn’t stand others flaunting like that in front of him.

Whether he suppressed his cultivation or Qin Bei elevated his, the advantage was still in his favor.

“Enough with the chatter, let’s get started!”

Qin Bei was eager to test his strength!

Hun Tian suppressed his cultivation to the Ninth Level of Body Refinement and didn’t even use the Divine and Demonic Body against Qin Bei.

Even so, Hun Tian’s physical strength was beyond what ordinary cultivators could rival.

There aren’t too many flashy moves in Body Refinement battles, as many martial techniques just can’t be used—but they can use strength-enhancing techniques at the most.

Bang!

With the first punch, the two exchanged blows to test each other.

As everyone expected, Qin Bei didn’t fly back; instead, Hun Tian was the one who was pushed back several steps by Qin Bei.

Many princes and the Wu Nation delegation were astounded by this outcome.

“That punch probably packed a force of around 100,000 jin! Xiao Bei actually managed to gain a slight advantage! It seems that Xiao Bei really did get a great opportunity!”

“With no powerful training body backing him, being a Ninth Level character in the Body Refinement Realm and having such force means that if Xiao Bei’s talent improves further, he might actually be able to catch up with Qin Chen!”

“True, but Qin Chen broke through the Body Refinement Realm after reaching 200,000 jin. Xiao Bei seems to have a similar ambition.”

Now the princes realized why Qin Bei had the confidence to face Hun Tian.

“But even so, that’s not enough. Hun Tian hasn’t even unleashed his Divine and Demonic Body yet.”

As the princes worried, Hun Tian’s gaze on the field turned sharp as he looked at Qin Bei.

At just twenty years old, reaching the Ninth Level of Body Refinement and possessing such power was unexpected.

“It seems I underestimated you, but that’s all!”

In the next moment, Hun Tian roared, unleashing demonic energy as the Divine and Demonic Body returned.

His figure was still three meters tall, exuding tremendous pressure.

“Even though it’s just the Ninth Level of Body Refinement, now that I’m using the Divine and Demonic Body, my strength has reached 150,000 jin. Combined with this Demon Splitting Fist, this attack will exceed 200,000 jin! Game over!”

Hun Tian declared as he charged the Demon Splitting Fist.

“Weak chicken!”

Qin Bei shook his head, carelessly voicing something no one else understood.

The next moment, Qin Bei flashed forward, appearing right in front of Hun Tian.

Now that he knew his opponent’s strength, Qin Bei held nothing back. While he liked to keep a card up his sleeve, he wouldn’t act mediocre either!

“Demon Splitting Fist!” Hun Tian bellowed as he launched his punch.

The two fists, one large and one small, collided in an instant, creating a boom as colossal power erupted around them.

“Get ready to intervene; there’s no way Xiao Bei is taking this punch. We can’t let him get hurt like this again,” Qin Zhen said to his brother Qin Si beside him.

Qin Si nodded, poised to catch Qin Bei.

Boom!

However, the situation in the arena left everyone jaw-dropped.

Hun Tian, already using his Divine Body, was incredibly powerful.

Yet in the moment of collision, it was Hun Tian, in his divine state, that flew backward!

“What… did Xiao Bei just do?”

“Nothing much; he just threw a perfectly ordinary punch and didn’t even use any martial skills or supernatural powers.”

“Oh, right! Earlier, Xiao Bei said something about a weak chicken that I didn’t get. Could that be a spell for some kind of ability?”

“Yeah, that seems likely. When this is over, I need to ask Xiao Bei to teach me!”
