As Fan Xinglou's number one disciple and a prodigious talent nurtured by her from a young age, Wu Xiaofei's strength was truly astonishing.
Fan Xinglou had once evaluated Wu Xiaofei in front of her disciples, saying, "That lad is undoubtedly a prodigy. Whether it's martial arts or Seisenjutsu, he absorbs them like a sponge, leaving no drop behind. His loyalty to my teachings is unwavering, and he would never defy me. If we talk about disciples inheriting their master's techniques, that lad is undoubtedly the best in that regard."
As a result, Wu Xiaofei's martial skills surpassed those of Zhao Hufeng, and his Seisenjutsu capabilities exceeded Cecily's. He was truly a multi-talented individual.
Now, with a seemingly simple palm strike, Wu Xiaofei unleashed an aura that felt like it could topple mountains and overturn seas. Fan Xinglou, who had blocked this strike, saw the ground beneath her feet slightly crumble, creating a gap of about one centimeter.
Shortly after, Wu Xiaofei's hands, elbows, legs, knees, and even his head seemed to transform into weapons. He swung them fiercely, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind and terrifying force. Amid the howling winds, his attacks relentlessly targeted Fan Xinglou.
"Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam!"
A constant barrage of physical impacts echoed as their bodies collided. Fan Xinglou skillfully moved, retreating while using her two delicate arms to deflect the incoming attacks.
She deflected punches aimed at her face.
She dislocated incoming palm strikes.
She evaded knee strikes to her abdomen.
She stepped on and redirected leg whips aimed at her.
With extraordinary agility and skill, Fan Xinglou managed to counter all of Wu Xiaofei's attacks.
The dense Prana continuously swirled around both of them, creating an intense collision, and disrupting the atmosphere.
Fan Xinglou and Wu Xiaofei moved through the area, exchanging fierce blows, all while Prana-infused strikes danced around them. The thick gusts and roaring air currents enveloped them, creating a ferocious battlefield.
The intensity of this battle rivaled the final showdown in the "Phoenix Festa" between Fang Li and Amagiri Ayato.
Cecily and Zhao Hufeng were left completely awestruck.
"Amazing…" Zhao Hufeng couldn't help but exclaim, part in admiration, part in frustration. "I could never keep up with that level of battle, could I?"
Cecily, on the other hand, observed some subtle maneuvers between Fan Xinglou and Wu Xiaofei during their intense sparring. In the brief gaps between their duels, Wu Xiaofei would occasionally form a hand seal, causing Mana to gather around him.
During these moments, Fan Xinglou's surroundings underwent subtle changes.
Sometimes, the ground beneath her suddenly trembled, causing a slight shift in her balance.
At other times, the air around her became heavier, causing a brief hesitation in her movements.
Occasionally, flying debris suddenly attacked her, making her evasive maneuvers more rushed.
At other times, the dense gusts unexpectedly vibrated, making her blocks more challenging.
"Seisenjutsu?" Cecily was genuinely surprised. "He's using Seisenjutsu so quickly without relying on talismans? That many Seisenjutsu, in the midst of combat?"
While Wu Xiaofei's Seisenjutsu, employed on the fly during their battle, might not have been as powerful as Cecily's proud Lightning System Seisenjutsu, it effectively disrupted his opponent and brought significant changes to the fight. As a result, Fan Xinglou was thoroughly suppressed.
"Master is being suppressed?" Cecily and Zhao Hufeng seemed genuinely shocked.
However, Fang Li couldn't help but sneer.
If Wu Xiaofei could use Seisenjutsu like this, then could it be that Fan Xinglou couldn't?
However, Fan Xinglou chose not to use it, which was why she was being suppressed. Moreover, it seemed that this intense battle might have been intentionally set up by Fan Xinglou.
Otherwise, with Fan Xinglou's abilities, she could simply use Teleportation to evade Wu Xiaofei's attacks instead of engaging in direct combat.
As Fan Xinglou had said, this battle was merely a test of Wu Xiaofei's progress, which was why she was only on the defensive and not attacking. However, Fan Xinglou's expression lacked enthusiasm, making her appear disinterested in the fight.
In theory, Wu Xiaofei's performance was remarkable, and Fan Xinglou should have been excited about it. At least in Fang Li's view, Wu Xiaofei's current strength was no less than that of Amagiri Ayato.
In fact, in terms of close combat abilities, Wu Xiaofei might even surpass Amagiri Ayato. If Seisenjutsu was added to the equation, Wu Xiaofei would be superior.
Of course, Amagiri Ayato possessed the Ser-Versta while Wu Xiaofei didn't have the Ogre Lux. Therefore, if the two were to fight, it might be a fifty-fifty situation.
However, Fang Li had also noticed something crucial. Wu Xiaofei had a fatal weakness. It was this very weakness that led to Fan Xinglou's current performance.
With this realization, Fang Li suddenly smiled.
"Hū—!"
In the midst of the battle, Wu Xiaofei delivered a palm strike carrying concealed power, like a Flood Dragon rising from the sea, aiming straight for Fan Xinglou's chest.
"Hmm?"
Fan Xinglou had intended to block this fist but suddenly felt something unusual, causing her to pause. In that instant, a sudden change occurred.
A figure abruptly inserted itself between Fan Xinglou and Wu Xiaofei, shielding Fan Xinglou. Without hesitation, a hand infused with Prana extended to meet Wu Xiaofei's incoming fist.
"Pā—!"
Accompanied by a crisp sound, Wu Xiaofei's powerful strike was absorbed by the sudden intervention. The power he carried was neutralized by the defensive power generated from the circulating Prana.
This unexpected turn of events left Wu Xiaofei bewildered.
"Junior Brother?"
Cecily and Zhao Hufeng exclaimed.
Yes, the one who had intervened so suddenly was Fang Li.
Watching Wu Xiaofei, frozen in the posture of his attack, Fang Li's eyes glinted as he didn't turn around but spoke directly to Fan Xinglou.
"Master, may I take over this practice match?"
With this single statement, Cecily and Zhao Hufeng were also left in astonishment.
Fan Xinglou, however, upon seeing Fang Li's back, her uninterested expression vanished entirely. She was now wearing a joyful smile as she responded without hesitation.
"I permit it," She said, her voice brimming with delight.
Following this, Fan Xinglou turned her gaze to Wu Xiaofei, saying, "Xiaofei, perform well; I'm looking forward to it."
For the first time since the match began, Wu Xiaofei's expression showed a slight fluctuation.
Then, he spoke, "Yes, Master."
