Inside the Three Pure Ones Temple, Qin Hao, dressed in a purple robe, slowly walked out.
In a purple robe facing them, the Heavenly Master descended from the mountain.
That oppressive feeling surged up in an instant.
Zhou Yuanpeng looked at Qin Hao and, for some reason, he subconsciously took a step back.
The fight hadn't even started, and he was already somewhat afraid.
Watching the live chat, the audience was asking if he was scared.
If Zhou Yuanpeng said he wasn't afraid, that would be a lie.
Before coming to Qingyun Mountain, he was full of confidence.
He thought that the Heavenly Master was just as portrayed online—not much different from an ordinary person in actual combat.
That's why he dared to come to Qingyun Mountain to challenge the Heavenly Master alone.
But now, after seeing the Heavenly Master, Zhou Yuanpeng suddenly felt like things were not as simple as he thought!
This Heavenly Master was not quite what he had imagined.
Not to mention anything else, just take that roar from a moment ago.
Voice like thunder, deterring hundreds!
Is that something an ordinary person could shout out?
But from this point of view, this Heavenly Master was extraordinary.
Zhou Yuanpeng felt a bit intimidated.
Qin Hao approached Zhou Yuanpeng.
He first glanced at the plaque next to Zhou Yuanpeng with the words "Challenge the Heavenly Master" written on it.
Then, he looked at the professional livestream team of five or six people beside Zhou Yuanpeng.
Qin Hao pretty much understood.
He thought to himself.
What challenger?
Turns out it's a streamer!
What, you want to use the challenge to the Qingyun Mountain's Heavenly Master to boost your own popularity and gain followers?
In Qin Hao's ear, a system notification sounded.
"Ding! Mission issued, detection of someone challenging the Heavenly Master. Maintain the dignity of the Heavenly Master by defeating the challenger with thunderous means, and receive the reward [Wind and Rain Summoning Technique]!"
The system task was released.
Qin Hao opened his mouth and said, "This layman, you and I have no enmity. Why do you block my path and cause a scene here?"
Zhou Yuanpeng took a deep breath and said, "I have long heard that Qingyun Mountain is the foremost mountain of the Xuanmen Sect, and Qingyun Mountain's Heavenly Master is unparalleled in National Martial Arts, with extraordinary skills. I have practiced martial arts since childhood, learning Sanda and mixed martial arts. Today, my visit to Qingyun Mountain is simply to exchange pointers on National Martial Arts with the Heavenly Master! To see whether free boxing is powerful or if National Martial Arts are stronger!"
Inside the live broadcast room, the number of online viewers had already broken through the ten million mark.
More than ten million people were watching the live broadcast.
Zhou Yuanpeng himself had also gained several million more followers in his live stream.
This round, he had made a killing.
Many viewers were also curious.
The Internet is abuzz with how formidable the Purple Robed Heavenly Master is.
They just wanted to see how strong this Qingyun Mountain's Heavenly Master really was!
And if Dragon Country's National Martial Arts truly had any substance.
However, what Qin Hao said next directly led Zhou Yuanpeng and the tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room to disappointment.
Qin Hao calmly stated, "I'm sorry, this layman, if you have come for a martial arts bout, then please leave. Qingyun Mountain is a place for Xuanmen Sect's tranquil cultivation, neither a martial arts school nor a venue for challenges.
As for this National Martial Arts you speak of, I have never heard of it, nor do I know it at all. If you insist on an exchange, after you go down the mountain, head south. There, in Shaolin Temple, there are many Martial Monks you can exchange pointers with."
What?
The Heavenly Master doesn't know National Martial Arts?
Upon hearing these words from Qin Hao.
Every viewer in the live broadcast room never expected this.
Wasn't it always spread online that Qingyun Mountain's Purple Robed Heavenly Master was very powerful?
A one-man army, easily thrashing several grown men as if they were picking up chickens.
The comment sections were rife with the notion of the Heavenly Master's unparalleled National Martial Arts.
But at this moment, the bona fide Heavenly Master of Qingyun Mountain was declaring in front of everyone that he did not know National Martial Arts.
It was a slap in the face!
Zhou Yuanpeng was also stunned.
This…
Was the Heavenly Master this straightforward?
Just saying he didn't know National Martial Arts outright?
What was his trip here even for?
What happened to the challenge against the Heavenly Master?
Just because you say you don't know, you send me on my way?
Zhou Yuanpeng was not content with this outcome.
It wasn't easy for him to have brought this plaque up the mountain!
The plaque, made of solid wood, was not light in weight.
Even Zhou Yuanpeng, who had trained, found carrying it up the mountain exhausting.
Now you're telling me you don't know, and I have to carry the plaque back down myself?
For a moment, Zhou Yuanpeng felt like a fool.
No way, since he had come all this way.
Zhou Yuanpeng had to compete in something.
Otherwise, what a loss it would be?
Zhou Yuanpeng said, "The Heavenly Master is too modest. Rest assured, we are just exchanging pointers normally, just stopping at the first touch!
Besides, I've come a long way here, the Heavenly Master can't just let me go back empty-handed now, can you? Please be sure to offer me some advice, how about it?"
Zhou Yuanpeng was persistent.
Qin Hao sighed.
Ah…
Why wouldn't this kid take his advice?
Qin Hao had already given him a lot of face.
He'd even said he didn't know National Martial Arts and suggested he leave the way he came.
Qin Hao had given him an easy out.
Yet, he still insisted on an exchange.
At this moment, with so many people watching him.
Under the public eye, Qin Hao felt somewhat pressured.
In the end, he nodded, "Alright, since you're adamant about competing, let's exchange a few pointers. However, I must make it clear beforehand, I really do not know National Martial Arts or martial skills. If we are to compare, let's compare something else."
Zhou Yuanpeng was overjoyed and immediately said, "Fine! We'll do as the Heavenly Master suggests. Whatever you can do, we'll compete in that! Heavenly Master, what can you do?"
Zhou Yuanpeng had absolute confidence in himself.
As long as it wasn't about memorizing Taoist scriptures, he was confident he could win in everything else.
Now it was time to see what the Heavenly Master wanted to compete in.
Qin Hao thought for a moment.
Then he just extended one hand.
His True Yuan circulated within his body.
His hand began to gather wind and thunder.
At that moment, it seemed as if a storm of wind and thunder rolled within his palm.
"Boom!"
Qin Hao's hand emitted the sound of surging thunders.
Then, Qin Hao looked towards the huge plaque beside Zhou Yuanpeng that challenged the Heavenly Master.
He lifted his hand, striking from the air. His palm condensed the Five Thunders and unleashed a forceful strike.
The golden thunder transformed into a Qi Sword, slashing straight through, lightning flashed across, and the wooden plaque that Zhou Yuanpeng brought to challenge the Heavenly Master at the mountain gate was split in two on the spot.
The thunder raced across the surface of the plaque.
Everyone present could even smell the scorched scent of wood being struck by thunder.
Qin Hao finished these actions.
He returned his hand to his side, then lightly said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, I am modest in my studies and have only cultivated my spiritual powers for a few years. I only know some rudimentary Thunder Spell, layman, since you came to challenge, let's compare our abilities in Thunder Spell!"
Qin Hao's voice spread through the air.
His palm held the condensed Five Thunders, ready to be unleashed.
Next time, his target would not be just a plaque, but Zhou Yuanpeng, who was standing there blocking the mountain gate!
Qin Hao: Kid, you're looking for a one-on-one challenge with me? Come take a taste of my Hand Palm Thunder!
…
Zhou Yuanpeng, watching Qin Hao's palm generate thunder and split the plaque beside him, was dumbfounded.
What the hell…
Hand Palm Thunder?
Is this a human?
Fu*k!
Zhou Yuanpeng instantly felt, he must have been out of his mind to come to Qingyun Mountain and challenge a Heavenly Master.
Is this something mortals like him could challenge?
If he could do it over, Zhou Yuanpeng would want to slap himself a hundred times.
Wasn't being alive good enough?
And here he was, pressuring someone to take him on in a duel.
Purely seeking death!
In Zhou Yuanpeng's live broadcast room, after witnessing the Heavenly Master generate thunder in his palm and effortlessly cleave the plaque,
The tens of millions of people in the live room were in an uproar.
"Holy crap! The Heavenly Master is so badass!"
