Xiaohu was an orphan. His parents abandoned him when he was young.
He didn't even know the reason.
If it wasn't for the Heavenly Sword Sect who found Xiaohu in the ruins and brought him back...
He would probably have died a long time ago.
Although his aptitude was poor and wasn't suitable for cultivation...
The Heavenly Sword Sect felt that he was pitiful, so they still kept him and let him do some work.
Gradually, he became an unremarkable little disciple who guarded Thinking Cliff.
It was a beautiful job to guard Thinking Cliff.
It was because almost no one came there, and he could cultivate quietly.
However, that was indeed an undesirable job for Xiaohu.
It was because no one taught him there, and he couldn't practice any cultivation techniques because his aptitude was too poor.
One day, a handsome senior was brought there, bringing a little atmosphere to Thinking Cliff.
From that day on, Xiaohu's daily pleasure became watching his senior practice.
However, his senior's cultivation method was strange.
Sit-ups, running, frog jumps.
All of them were the training methods of mortals.
Xiaohu felt a little disappointed at first.
He thought that he could secretly learn a move or two so that he could practice it when he was bored.
Who knew that it was only these things?
Until one day, a world-shaking movement came from the Thinking Cliff when Xiaohu was guarding the door with a lack of interest.
Xiaohu turned pale with fright. He quickly went in and found a corner to peek at the situation.
He only saw that the senior who came to the Thinking Cliff had suddenly become bald.
The senior was standing proudly at the edge of the cliff with a finger pointing up.
"Could this disturbance be caused by senior?"
That matter stirred up a storm in Xiaohu's heart.
He had also heard of this senior's matter.
His aptitude was extremely poor, and he wasn't suitable for Qi-Refining Technique. He could only refine his body.
And now, this person with "extremely poor aptitude" could move mountains and rivers with one finger and change the world with two!
Just because he did those sit-ups every day?
That matter had caused a great shock to Xiaohu's heart.
"Does that mean that I can do it too if the senior could do it?"
He could no longer control the thought when it appeared in his mind.
Huangfu Longdou had been training in the Thinking Cliff every day ever since that day.
As for Xiaohu, he had been secretly training outside the Training Cliff.
Day after day, Xiaohu felt that he hadn't improved at all and wanted to give up.
The news that Huangfu Longdou had turned the situation in the unrecognized registered disciple competition spread once again.
The thought of giving up was dispelled once again in him.
"It must be that I haven't trained enough!"
Xiaohu blamed himself for the failure regarding the difference in the results of training.
After a day, the martial arts arena was once again bustling with activity.
As for Xiaohu, he could only stay here and watch over the Thinking Cliff.
The admiration for Huangfu Longdou and the desire for strong cultivation made Xiaohu struggle.
He made a bold decision in the end.
He wanted to sneak over to the martial arts arena to take a look.
It was enough even if he could only take a look.
He wanted to know how strong Senior Huangfu's Body-Refining Technique was!
...
Lin Yu had arrived in front of Huangfu Longdou in the blink of an eye.
That one-foot-long iron fan was wrapped in a layer of visible blue Qi energy, which made the crowd wonder.
The blue Qi energy wasn't just for show. It was the embodiment of the Qi-Refining Realm's cultivation to the upper level.
Similarly, Lin Yu had never told anyone about it.
Therefore, the elders at the scene were also shocked.
Lin Yu had planned to hide this trump card until the crucial moment of the unrecognized registered disciple competition, which would surprise Lan Yun'er.
He did not expect that he would reveal his trump card in advance.
It was only because of this bald man in front of him.
Huangfu Longdou!
A cry of surprise came from the entrance of the arena at that moment.
"Senior Huangfu, be careful!"
Who else could it be if it wasn't the disciple with pockmarks on his face, Xiaohu?
Huangfu Longdou subconsciously turned his head and saw Xiaohu's worried face when he heard this familiar voice.
'Why aren't you on guard? That opponent is already charging over!'
However, Huangfu Longdou smiled at Xiaohu.
A loud sound of metal colliding resounded through the sky in the next moment!
No one realized what was wrong and only stared at the arena filled with rubble and dust.
Almost everyone had the same question in their hearts.
"Did Lin Yu's move hit on Huangfu Longdou just now?"
Only Xiaohu had a different question in his heart.
He saw with his eyes that Lin Yu's iron ruler had hit Huangfu Longdou's chest.
But...
Why did the iron ruler make a sound of metal colliding when it struck a body of flesh and blood?
Could it be that Senior Huangfu's Body-Refining Technique had already reached the realm of lightning speed?
Did he use his weapon to block this move at such a speed in that critical moment that even Xiaohucould not see clearly with his naked eyes?
Just as his emotions were complicated and he was making wild guesses...
The dust on the martial arts arena gradually dissipated, and two figures gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision.
One stood up, and the other knelt.
Everyone knew that the outcome of this battle would probably be decided with just one move.
...
"Lin Yu was ambushing. He should have lost on the spot according to the rules."
"But he was able to defeat Huangfu Longdou. It's not simple either."
"That's right. That's right. However, why does it seem like there's something wrong with the positions of these two people?"
The disciples below the stage had already begun to discuss in low voices.
One of the sharp-eyed disciples seemed to feel that something was amiss.
With one kneeling and one standing, logically speaking, it should be Lin Yu standing while Huangfu Longdou was half-kneeling.
Why was Huangfu Longdou still standing at his original position?
It was as if Huangfu Longdou hadn't moved at all...
A terrifying thought emerged in that disciple's mind.
Could it be that Lin Yu had lost?
Did he lose under the circumstances of a sneak attack?
...
A moment later, the smoke and dust had dissipated.
Two figures were visible to everyone.
The person standing was Huangfu Longdou!
Lin Yu, on the other hand, was half-kneeling in the martial arts arena. His expression was gloomy.
No, it wasn't just his expression.
His right arm, which was holding the iron fan, was already bleeding profusely!
No one could see what Huangfu Longdou had just done. Even the elders on the main seats couldn't see clearly.
They only saw that Huangfu Longdou had taken that move with his chest.
They couldn't see clearly what method Huangfu Longdou had used to block it.
Chen Xuanfeng secretly exclaimed.
"This brat's speed is so fast that even I can't see it?"
He cleared his throat the next moment and said,
"Elder, announce the result."
The hosting elder, who was supposed to announce the result, was stunned on the spot.
He finally reacted upon hearing Chen Xuanfeng's reminder.
"Lin Yu's sneak attack violated the rules and was directly judged to be the one who lost!"
"Huangfu Long won this match!"
The entire venue was in an uproar!
