Xie Hong Chen was confident in his strength and thought that could end the fight swiftly, but he wanted to humiliate Yang Feng in front of everyone to prove himself better. So he decided to let Yang Feng attack him first.
But before he could voice out his thoughts, he saw Yang Feng standing with one hand behind his back and heard him saying," I don't want to humiliate you with too much of a crushing defeat so I will only use one hand."
When Xie Hong Chen heard him saying that, he was filled with anger,' how dare this brat underestimate me.' while shouting,"arrogant."
"Whether I am arrogant or am stating a truth, you just need to find out yourself." Yang Feng replied with bored look on his face.
Hearing his words coupled with his bored expression set Xie Hong Chen off and with a war cry he used his Qi to propel himself towards Yang Feng.
Xie Hong Chen was already picturing sending Yang Feng flying to the ground with a single brutal punch to the annoying face of his. But just as he reached Yang Feng and was about to punch him, he suddenly felt pain in his jaw and stomach, and felt a change in scenery around him with his back colliding with something hard.
Although he was not able to understand what happened, this didn't mean that no one was. The crowd saw Xie Hong Chen rush towards yang feng with great speed and getting ready to punch Yang Feng to the face.
But the next moment Xie Hong Chen was sent flying backwards with much greater speed and Yang Feng standing in the same place with his right hand clinched into a fist.
They were shocked as this indicated that Yang Feng in 1st stage S&R realm could defeat someone in 5th stage S&R realm with a single attack. What was even more incredible was that he didn't even you any type of technique, only a punch strengthened by his Qi.
Xie Hong Chen slowly stood up, feeling pain allover and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yang Feng changed and were filled with fear. He never expected this to happen, nor that Yang Feng was so strong. By all accounts he should be stronger than Yang Feng because of his higher cultivation, but he wasn't.
He had initially thought that he would challenge him, beat him easily and be praised by everyone as a true genius. But reality gave him bitch slap, shattering his hopes.
"Not going to attack anymore?", as Yang Feng asked Xie Hong Chen, although a little afraid Xie Hong Chen grew angry at his opponent's expressionless face and again rushed towards him, this time using his movement technique and attacked using his offensive Martial Technique. He covered his palm in his Qi and attacked him with a palm.
Yang Feng also used his Qi in the attack but he didn't use any type of technique, just a simple punch strengthened by his Qi. The result was again the same as before, but this time Xie Hong Chen was thrown back with even greater momentum.
After seeing the fear in Hong Chen's eyes. Yang Feng was reminded why he didn't like the guy. He had never liked the guy, he was a coward, disloyal, cunning and seeked power and fame not caring about how it is obtained, he only prayed on the weak and do anything he could to please the strong. In the novel, he collided with the people of 'free and unfettered spirit temple' during the invasion of Tong Xuan Realm on the small world to gain power and fame, by abusing his fellow disciples.
As Xie Hong Chen didn't say anything nor did he attack him again, Yang Feng sprinted towards him and started attacking him, but not too severely as he was still in the sect. After beating him for a minute, he made him unconscious, winning the duel.
He then turned around and immediately left the place, not wanting to be surrounded by the audience, who looked like they wanted to do the exact same thing. The news of him swiftly beating Xie Hong Chen spread the wildfire. The others were shocked when they were told about the details of the duel, which increased his already famous name even more famous.
Xie Hong Chen was an elite disciple of the High Heaven Pavilion and was a prime candidate to be accepted as a disciple by an elder, so he had considerable strength, and for Yang Feng to send him flying in a single strike, spoke volumes of Yang Feng's strength.
The winner of the sensational duel on the other hand didn't think too much of it and continued his stroll around the sect. After looking around, Yang Feng arrived at the mission hall and busied himself with looking at the missions on the board.
After some thinking he had decided to go on a mission while looking for the mystic demon tomb in the surroundings of the sect. He then casually grabbed a mission that required some materials from a 3rd tier monster beast and after going through the protocol for accepting the mission, left the sect.
As he was descending the mountain he thought of the places where he could find the tomb and how does he make the most use of the things in it.
He was not aware that as he was descending, he was being watched by two figures from inside the sect.

"Yang Feng, Son of my disciple, I will wait to see if you are really as amazing and worthy as your father said in the letter. *Sigh* I just hope you will not walk the wrong path.", said the first figure standing on a mountain peak overlooking the whole sect.

"Hmm, this little one has some talent, he might be able to fight the geniuses in that place as well.", said the second figure that looked at yang feng through his divine sense. 'though that feeling...it felt like looking at something of a grand status, but that 'thing' is being suppressed by it's surroundings.' the figure thought.
"Hah, well time will tell what your destiny is. I hope you don't disappoint me brat."
