Within the live streaming room, tens of millions of viewers watched as Qin Hao slapped out the Hand Palm Thunder with a backhand.
The thunderous strike cleaved a huge hanging signboard through the air.
The audience was dumbfounded.
This...
Is this something a human could do?
Millions of viewers erupted.
"Damn it! Thunder Spell, man!"
"Sick! That was awesome, is this what a Heavenly Master does?"
"It turns out those in purple robes are truly badass! Just said he didn't know National Martial Arts, but then pulled off a Thunder Spell in a reverse move, absurd!"
"When the Heavenly Master said he didn't know National Martial Arts earlier, I was mocking him. Now it seems, damn, the clown was me."
"What the Heavenly Master meant was: in the year 9022, who the hell still practices National Martial Arts? We all practice Thunder Spells!"
"Come on, kid, let's spar! Let me see if your freestyle fighting is stronger, or if my poor Thunder Spell is superior!"
"Here's a joke, the Heavenly Master is shallow in learning and only knows the Thunder Spell! Laughing so hard, my mom asked me why I'm kneeling while watching the live stream!"
"Brother Peng, just saying, maybe we should run while the Heavenly Master hasn't made a move yet. If we really start fighting and get struck by that Thunder Spell, we won't end up much better than that signboard!"
"Yes! The Heavenly Master is so revered and respected, you should just surrender quickly. He won't blame you, why walk into your own demise?"
"Host, don't feed them a free kill! They've got a Thunder Spell up their sleeve, what do you have? Who gave you the confidence? Liang Jingru?"
"Brother Peng, how about this, I'll count down three, two, one, and we'll all kneel for the Heavenly Master. What's more important than staying alive?"
The streaming room's audience was in panic.
They thought it was going to be a close-range brawl, freestyle fighting versus National Martial Arts!
But now it looked like a mere mortal challenging a Cultivator.
Freestyle fighting versus Thunder Spell.
How the hell is this going to work?
Going up there is just asking for it, isn't it?
No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than a Thunder Spell?
You're talking tough now, but wait until in a second, when they slap down a bolt of lightning on you. Have you seen the signboard that was just carved with the challenge to the Heavenly Master?
That will be your fate!
The streaming room's audience was still trying to persuade him.
Brother Peng, it's time to back down!
Qin Hao looked at Zhou Yuanpeng without saying a word.
Then, he raised his hand, and wind and thunder gathered in his palm.
Qin Hao said, "Layman, let's get this straight beforehand, it was you who actively sought out poor me for a challenge. After our sparring, your medical expenses are not something poor me or Qingyun Mountain will bear!"
Qin Hao made it clear beforehand.
He didn't know what shape Zhou Yuanpeng would be in after he struck down with his Hand Palm Thunder.
No matter how serious or light the injuries, it was Zhou Yuanpeng who had actively come to the mountain to issue the challenge.
So obviously, Qin Hao would not be responsible for the medical costs.
There were many witnesses here, so it had to be made clear beforehand.
With that said, Qin Hao released the Five Thunders from his palm and struck out at Zhou Yuanpeng.
Zhou Yuanpeng instantly felt a terrifying oppressive force, even though he was still ten meters away.
The next second, without another word, Zhou Yuanpeng's knees went soft, and he directly knelt down.
"Heavenly Master, spare me, I was wrong! The disciple acted recklessly out of impulse and offended the Heavenly Master. Starting today, I am willing to do menial chores for a year at Qingyun Mountain to atone for my sins! If that's not enough, shall I kowtow to you?"
Zhou Yuanpeng had originally harbored a glimmer of hope.
But the moment the Thunder Spell really struck down from the Heavenly Master's palm.
Zhou Yuanpeng's legs turned to jelly.
He kneeled on the spot.
What freestyle fighting?
What Sanda expert, boxing champion.
In the face of the Thunder Spell, they were nothing but little brothers.
At this moment, Zhou Yuanpeng didn't care about how many viewers were watching his live stream.
A truly strong man knows when to bow and when to stand tall, just being alive is enough.
His streaming room's audience watched as Zhou Yuanpeng abruptly kneeled down.
Kneeling on the spot.
The viewers were stunned.
"Brother Peng, that was... you kneeled way too quickly!"
"I originally thought the host could really stick it out, but when it's time to chicken out, you chicken out!"
"Heavenly Master: 'You were so arrogant coming up the mountain, now look how pathetic you are! Kid, weren't you wild just now? I liked your unrestrained attitude better!'"
"Come on everyone, stop laughing at the host. If you were standing opposite the Heavenly Master, you'd be kneeling even faster!"
"Yeah, what's the big deal about kowtowing to a Cultivator? It's not humiliating!"
"Exactly, if they knew Thunder Spell and came to my house, not only would I kowtow, but my mom and dad would join me!"
"Hahaha, my mom asked me why I'm kowtowing while watching the live stream, then after watching, she joined me in kowtowing!"
Qin Hao looked at Zhou Yuanpeng who was already kneeling.
After that, he glanced at the live stream team members beside Zhou Yuanpeng.
The members of the live stream team, upon catching the Heavenly Master's gaze,
Plonk!
Collectively knelt down too.
No kidding!
They were the ones who came with Zhou Yuanpeng to create trouble on the mountain.
Do you think the Heavenly Master wouldn't slap them too?
So, it's better to kneel and talk.
Zhou Yuanpeng was now kneeling without a fight, begging for mercy.
In Qin Hao's ears, the system's notification sound was also heard.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, defeating the challenger, and obtaining the reward [Wind and Rain Summoning]!"
Then, Qin Hao retracted the Thunder Element from his palm.
Looking at Zhou Yuanpeng, he said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, since the layman has admitted his mistake, we'll let today's events come to an end. However, the layman just said he wishes to do menial work for a year on Qingyun Mountain. Starting today, you and your team will clean the Mountain Gate every morning and evening, once at each time. After a year, you can leave the mountain."
Qin Hao spoke unhurriedly.
His words brooked no objection.
You came to the mountain to challenge us; Qingyun Mountain is not a place you can just come and go from as you please.
Since you've come, you must leave something behind!
You dared to block my Mountain Gate; how can you leave unscathed?
All those who blocked the way, each must do menial work on Qingyun Mountain for a year to leave.
Qin Hao stated: The Heavenly Master is a petty person, no one can act tough in front of me and leave without consequences!
Listening to Qin Hao's words, Zhou Yuanpeng didn't have much to say.
The five or six staff members from Zhou Yuanpeng's live stream team turned the color of pig liver.
Ah, this...
Do we have to stay on the mountain for a year too?
Damn it!
They indicated that working on the mountain for a year was Zhou Yuanpeng's statement!
They didn't say it.
Talk about being wronged.
But right now, looking at Qin Hao, even if they felt aggrieved, they didn't dare to voice it.
If they dared to speak up, who knows, maybe in the next second, Qin Hao would slap them in the face.
Choose between doing menial work on the mountain for a year or spending a year recuperating in the hospital.
...
Qin Hao arranged for Zhou Yuanpeng and others very clearly.
After dealing with Zhou Yuanpeng,
Qin Hao looked towards the live stream camera of Zhou Yuanpeng's team.
He didn't know how many people were watching the live stream.
Qin Hao spoke up, "During the recent Qingyun Mountain's Heavenly Master's inauguration ceremony, I heard about the popularity of photos of many Taoist priests on the internet. Netizens seem to be quite interested in the Purple Robed Heavenly Master.
Well then, from this moment on, I officially announce that Qingyun Mountain will accept various challenges and dojo storms from the people below the mountain. If anyone wishes to spar with poor me, feel free to come up the mountain and try your luck!
However, I suggest it's best to come after 1:30 pm, because it's nap time for us on Qingyun Mountain at noon! Thank you all for your support! Go on, disperse!"
Having said this, Qin Hao turned around and walked towards the inner gate, heading back to the Heavenly Master Mansion on the rear mountain.
