At that moment, Li Shuanglong's expression turned cold. He realized that he was likely about to hit a wall. The previous move was based on the principles of Tai Chi, rooted in both the stance and his own Polar Palm technique, which also stemmed from Tai Chi. However, Xiao Yefeng's skilled posture indicated that he had already lost in his area of expertise.
In the audience, many who were well-versed in Ancient Martial Arts surrounded Mei Mo'er, including Nangong Yu, who glared angrily, and Huangfu Ying, who stood beside the principal. They all admired Xiao Yefeng's recent display of skill. Hua Ao finally recalled that this man was the one who had confronted Huangfu Rui and opposed Abel. At this moment, Hua Ao was already calculating how to distance himself from his foolish association with Lu Qingming.
As the saying goes, a wealthy man's son does not sit in a low hall. Hua Ao was a master of disguise and had come to understand that Xiao Yefeng was no ordinary Ancient Warrior. During the last aristocratic banquet, he had learned that Xiao was a reserve member of the Metaphysics Society, and it was likely that he had now become a full member. The power of the Metaphysics Society was something the Hua Family could not afford to provoke; Hua Ao certainly could not afford to offend him.
Meanwhile, all the students were watching the two on stage—Li Shuanglong and Xiao Yefeng—who had been sidelined and was beginning to lose face. Taking advantage of Xiao Yefeng's turned back, Li Shuanglong executed a similar stance and pivoted his body, using Polar Palm as leverage. His palms struck down like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, an aggressive attack aimed directly at Xiao Yefeng's vital points.
Indeed, the intensity of Yang energy and the strength of internal breath could not fully determine a person's abilities. This unexpected move caught Xiao Yefeng off guard. However, he stepped back, arched his back, crouched low, and stepped back with his right foot. This change disrupted Li Shuanglong's attack posture, and Xiao Yefeng's kick landed squarely on Li Shuanglong's knee.
With a crack, Xiao Yefeng held back just enough not to shatter his kneecap; however, the sound of bone cracking reached Li Shuanglong's ears. In an instant, all his techniques vanished as he collapsed to the ground due to the excruciating pain in his knee.
The crowd erupted in discussion at this sight; no one expected that within just a few exchanges, Li Shuanglong—who had been invincible on campus—would be knocked down so easily.
Just then, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Look! President Li seems to be preparing for a counterattack."
At that moment, the two men were two meters apart when Xiao Yefeng suddenly rolled away at high speed to dodge a glimmering light. Many in the audience missed it due to its swiftness; they only saw Xiao Yefeng leap into the air like in an action movie, swiftly flipping and retreating to create distance between them.
Li Shuanglong struggled to stand up again. On his right arm's sleeve of his loose training outfit was an invisible opening through which a needle as fine as an embroidery needle shot out—a Flying Needle. If it weren't for Xiao Yefeng's timely evasion, he would have been struck just now.
However, this unexpected Flying Needle had leveled the playing field. The Mechanism Sect was indeed formidable; just this one mechanism could kill an unguarded True Spirit Realm practitioner.
"Too bad you revealed yourself too soon; it'll be difficult for you to ambush me next time!" Xiao Yefeng remarked.
"It doesn't matter; I have at least a dozen more Flying Needles on me. I don't believe you can dodge them all!" Li Shuanglong gritted his teeth as he spoke; standing was already a challenge with his fractured kneecap.
At this moment, only Lu Qingming felt regret, wishing that the previous needle had hit its target. The others were ashamed of Li Shuanglong's tactics, but due to the circumstances, they could not voice their objections. After all, no one had seen that the Flying Needle had been launched by Li Shuanglong.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng was not planning to delay any longer. Yes, he could dodge, but leaving someone who could strike with hidden weapons at any moment was not a good idea. So Xiao Yefeng charged forward, his right fist gathering a trace of Qi behind him, aiming for a decisive blow to lock onto Li Shuanglong's spinal meridians and incapacitate him.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the two combatants, fully aware that this was the crucial moment—how would the injured Li President retaliate, and how would the previously unknown Xiao Yefeng secure victory?
Unexpectedly, Li Shuanglong gritted his teeth and unleashed his Polar Palm in the form of the Four Symbols Fierce Tiger Unleashed! The tiger-shaped palm targeted Xiao Yefeng's throat and heart, clearly intending to fight for his life. The two exchanged blows in mid-air, with Li Shuanglong gradually being pushed back while Xiao Yefeng deftly dodged. Each time Li Shuanglong attacked, a Flying Needle would shoot out from his wrist.
Just as Xiao Yefeng evaded a needle aimed directly at him, he finally seized an opportunity. His right hand transformed into a dragon claw and struck fiercely at the back of Li Shuanglong's neck. In an instant, Xiao Yefeng grasped his spine, sealing off his meridians and rendering Li Shuanglong's limbs immobile, akin to paralysis. With a swift motion, Xiao Yefeng tossed the powerless Li Shuanglong onto the stage.
The audience erupted into waves of applause and cheers. The Mechanism Sect proved to be formidable; in an era where Ancient Martial Arts had declined and Feng Shui Techniques could not be showcased publicly, this ancient sect had emerged once again with methods to counter Extraordinary Persons. Xiao Yefeng had even spotted a miniature mechanism launcher affixed to Li Shuanglong's arm during their confrontation—impressive indeed!
As Xiao Yefeng basked in the crowd's adulation, Nie Wenyuan rushed over to help Li Shuanglong up. The two exchanged glances as Nie Wenyuan supported him. At that moment, Li Shuanglong extended his hand and said, "Indeed, Boss Xiao is stronger."
Xiao Yefeng could only extend his hand to accept the congratulations. Just then, a warning from Zitong flashed in his mind. He quickly realized that Li Shuanglong suddenly bent down and pulled his shoulders inward rapidly. With a faint click of a mechanism, a colorless ice needle shot directly toward Xiao Yefeng's abdomen. Since Nie Wenyuan was supporting him at that moment, Li Shuanglong's bowing posture naturally lowered the trajectory of the attack. He aimed not for a vital spot but simply sought to hit.
The Crossbow with Tensioned Bowstring! One of the Mechanism Sect’s renowned devices—fast, powerful, and extremely discreet. The ice needle was colorless and non-reflective; given its proximity, Xiao Yefeng had no choice but to reveal his strength. His right palm erupted with a surge of Golden Cyan Inspiration as faint blue scales appeared on his skin. Using his palm as a shield, he deflected the ice needle which then ricocheted into the audience after leaving a white mark.
Lu Qingming found himself in the path of the Flying Needle and felt a sharp pain akin to a mosquito bite; it was itchy and numbing. Instantly igniting with rage from within, Lu Qingming knew exactly what it was as he pulled out a bottle of dark liquid from his pocket and gulped it down. He shot an angry glare at the three on stage before grabbing a coat to cover himself and bolting out of the venue.
Seeing their plan exposed, Li Shuanglong and Nie Wenyuan left in disgrace while Xiao Yefeng allowed them to depart without interference. After exchanging pleasantries with the host for a moment, he walked off stage. Just as he took his seat, Mei Mo'er, Liu Yiyi, and Nangong Yu surrounded him, asking why he had suddenly activated his Qi at the end of the match. Xiao Yefeng sighed in relief; they had only sensed the glow of Qi and hadn’t seen his transformed Gene Warrior arm.
Xiao Yefeng showed them his right hand which bore a purplish-red mark—evidence of the ice needle’s impact. Liu Yiyi didn’t understand these things well, but surprisingly Nangong Yu immediately pieced together everything that had just happened.
At that moment, Nangong Yu said, "Big Brother! That was a Crossbow with Tensioned Bowstring! Did Li Shuanglong set you up in the end?"
"What! Let's go, I'm going to find that Li Shuanglong. If I don't break his legs today, I won't be Mei!" Mei Mo'er immediately erupted in anger upon hearing this, grabbing Nangong Yu and preparing to leave, but Xiao Yefeng quickly held her back.
Xiao Yefeng then said, "No need. Without a Master of Hidden Strength skilled in medicine to help, that guy won't be able to move for seven days. Even if he needs to relieve himself, he'll have to find someone to take care of him!"
Just as they were contemplating what to do next, Huangfu Ying walked over with a smile. Seeing that Xiao Yefeng was fine, Huangfu Ying chuckled and said, "It seems my worries were unnecessary!" He opened his palm to reveal a needle no longer than three inches, with a faint black hue glimmering on its surface.
Nangong Yu reached out to take the needle and sniffed it at the tip of his nose. Frowning, he immediately said, "Seven Steps Drift?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Mo'er snatched the needle from Nangong Yu's hand. Mimicking his gesture, she lightly sniffed it and frowned again. "I didn't expect those two bastards still planned to harm Brother Xiao. The Tang Sect's secret drug Seven Steps Drift, the Mechanism Sect's Crossbow with Tensioned Bowstring, and Sleeve Dart! Yu, you're coming with me to break Nie Wenyuan's legs. Did you hear me?"
With a helpless expression, Nangong Yu could only nod and say, "Alright, alright!"
At this moment, Huangfu Ying looked at everyone and said, "The ball is basically over; now it's just the last bit of craziness from the singles. This isn't something we can control anymore. How about I host a feast? Is anyone interested?"
For some reason, Huangfu Ying decided to treat everyone, and Liu Yiyi did not refuse. She looked at Xiao Yefeng, who was also worried about what Mei Mo'er might do next. So he directly replied, "Sure! I'm a bit hungry too; let's go!"
Thus, Xiao Yefeng drove with Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er while Huangfu Ying got into Nangong Yu's car. The five of them left the academy directly from the backstage. Hua Ao, who had been prepared to leave as well, could only watch Xiao Yefeng and the others depart without moving for a long time. He understood Huangfu Ying's intentions; they were all from families in the medical industry. The Hua Family had long been ready to collaborate with the Mei Family and Liu Family. However, now that Huangfu Ying had intervened unexpectedly, it seemed some plans could not proceed as originally intended.
