Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 306 Imperial Family Martial Artist

It was truly rare that a Yang Grade powerhouse went up to a ring to challenge a Yin Grade martial artist.

The crowd knew there were cases where some geniuses, who were remarkably talented, had a profound family background, or had several strange encounters, joined higher-ranked challenges and became victorious. Nonetheless, there was a huge gap between Yin Grade and Yang Grade. Besides, it was quite surprising that Ou Yangming did not seem like a Yin Grade martial artist at all.

A Yang Grade powerhouse, who stimulated his potential and possessed a wonderful lost step technique, could not defeat Ou Yangming. At last, Yan Xishan gave his all to escape. Fortunately, he was fast to react because he would be the one being taken down if the fight continued.

In other words, Ou Yangming was powerful enough to be on par with most Yang Grade powerhouses or was even superior to them.

The crowd slowly fell silent. Earlier when Zuoqiu Hongyuan dominated a ring, the crowd was in high spirits as they swore to take him down. With that, many Yang Grade powerhouses from different regions eyed him and were eager to challenge him.

They knew they might not necessarily be a match for Zuoqiu Hongyuan, but they secretly looked forward to fighting him. Since Zuoqiu Hongyuan dominated a ring, he would be faced with endless challengers taking turns to tire him out.

Nobody believed that the genius from Huangsha County could persist for 10 days, but most Yang Grade powerhouses were just waiting for the right time to challenge him.

Nevertheless, nobody paid attention to Zuoqiu Hongyuan anymore.

The crowd was drawn by a Yin Grade martial artist, and they could not wait to get rid of him.

Whether it was Zuoqiu Hongyuan or Wu Hanning, they were both renowned gifted figures and had the cultivation bases at the peak of Yang Grade. Even if they ended up succeeding in dominating their respective rings, perhaps the crowd could cover up their dissatisfactions by praising them.

However, if a Yin Grade martial artist successfully dominated a ring...

Many Yang Grade powerhouses below the ring flushed such that their faces burned.

Far away, Wu Hanning curled her lips into a smile. She looked back and forth between Zuoqiu Hongyuan and Ou Yangming, and she especially found it funny when she noticed the gloomy look in the former’s eyes.

The fact that Zuoqiu Hongyuan suddenly dominated a ring proved that he wanted to take the opportunity to gain a reputation and to earn political deals for the Zuoqiu family. That said, he could not back out anymore because Ou Yangming—the little freakshowed up.

As such, the crowd no longer aimed at Zuoqiu Hongyuan, but Ou Yangming. Under these circumstances, even if Ou Yangming was defeated and Zuoqiu Hongyuan managed to defend his ring, the latter would not have the limelight.

Another middle-aged man slowly made his way up to the ring after a moment of silence.

He did not walk fast, but exclaims were heard when he appeared.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows, and he could tell from the crowd’s reaction that the person was famous, but he did not know much about the popular people in the capital. Perhaps the young fellow had heard of people like Wu Hongxi, who was renowned all over the world, but if the person was only a Yang Grade powerhouse...

Given that a person was not a Supreme Great Ancestor, who would pay attention to him or her?

Despite that, Ou Yangming did not notice or simply could not see through the scarf on Wu Hanning’s face.

Her face darkened at the moment as it took on a grave expression. The middle-aged man slowly approached Ou Yangming and put his hands behind his back. He nodded and remarked, “You’re not bad.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Thank you for the praise. How should I address you, senior?”

“I’m Wu Haohan,” the middle-aged man answered proudly. “An imperial family martial artist?” Ou Yangming’s face changed as he was surprised.

Wu Haohan nodded and said, “Ou Yangming, you’re very bold, but this isn’t a place for you, so please leave.”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and asked, ‘Why?”

“Because your cultivation base isn’t up to standard,” Wu Haohan responded without any hesitation, “You’re only a Yin Grade martial artist, so if you succeed in dominating a ring, can the Myriad Treasure Meet be held smoothly?”

“Please forgive me for being ill-informed, but when did the Myriad Treasure Meet set a rule where Yin Grade martial artists can’t dominate rings?” Ou Yangming chuckled.

They neither spoke loudly nor softly, so the crowd heard them clearly and burst out laughing. Despite that, the people had a strange look on their faces after they laughed.

It was true that there was no such rule in the Myriad Treasure Meet, but honestly, apart from a freak like Ou Yangming, no other Yin Grade martial artist would have the guts to do something as shocking as that. Even if the martial artists were extremely daring, how could they dominate a ring when many Yang Grade powerhouses were watching?

The rule did not have to be stressed at all.

Wu Haohan’s face turned dark. “Ou Yangming, are you saying that you won’t leave?”

“It’s easy if you want me to leave,” Ou Yangming said with a smile.

“What conditions do you have?” Wu Haohan was displeased.

Ou Yangming shrugged and smirked. “Don’t you just have to defeat me?”

The crowd was stunned at first, but they soon laughed out loud.

Wu Haohan eventually looked grim, and he noted, “I’m persuading you out of a good intention because I take pity on a talented person like you, yet you treat this as a game.”

Ou Yangming shook his head and replied to the man, “Senior, I dare not fool around at all.”

“Fine, since you’re not willing to leave, I’ll get rid of you.” Wu Haohan scoffed, then he fixed his gaze on the young fellow and uttered, “Watch out!”

Everyone else paid full attention to them. Wu Haohan was a well-known Yang Grade powerhouse from the imperial family, and he was much more notable than Yan Xishan and his son. In particular, his fame spread far and wide in the capital.

Even though Ou Yangming was strange, the odds would be against him rather than in his favor if he was facing a top-notch figure like Wu Haohan.

In actuality, based on Wu Haohan’s status, he ought to challenge Zuoqiu Hongyuan. Having said that, it was also his duty to maintain the honor of the imperial family and the Myriad Treasure Meet by driving a Yin Grade martial artist off the ring.

Wu Haohan took a steady step forward to get to Ou Yangming

His aura grew more intense each time he took a step. Although he did not have an unpredictable body technique like the Yan family’s, he was able to create unparalleled pressure.

Perhaps an ordinary Yin Grade martial artist could not withstand the surging pressure at all.

However, Ou Yangming possessed great mental power, hence the pressure could not affect him at all.

With just a few steps, Wu Haohan’s momentum rose to the peak. A look of shock flashed in his eyes because he could tell that Ou Yangming was not flustered at all, and the young fellow seemed unconcerned even when he released some pressure on purpose.

Wu Haohan scoffed and punched at Ou Yangming’s chest.

As compared to Yan Xishan’s incredible speed, Wu Haohan was on the other end of the extreme.

His punch was solid and steady.

The instant the fist force gushed in the air, the entire space seemed to be greatly affected.

It was worth noting that the small punch contained unmatched power as though the powers of hundreds or thousands of fists were gathered, making it irresistible.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. Instead of feeling taken aback, he was delighted.

When heroes of the world came together, sure enough, everyone had their unique strengths.

He benefited well from the body technique shown by Yan Xishan and his son, but he was also equally surprised by Wu Haohan.

The fist technique was no longer confined to one’s martial art ability because Ou Yangming vaguely sensed some mental power in it.

It was the Spiritual Fist-Wu Haohan’s fist resembled the Spiritual Fist.

Following that, Ou Yangming got into a low stance and punched as well. Even so, he suppressed his mental power on purpose, where he did not release the fearsome pressure, which was similar to a Supreme Great Ancestor’s.

“Boom...”

Ou Yangming groaned and flew backward when the fists clashed, but he was elated.

Wu Haohan’s fist force was violent, but Ou Yangming was unusually skilled, thus he managed to take the hit even if he had to borrow force. Nonetheless, what truly made the young fellow overjoyed was the mental power in his opponent’s fist force.

Needless to say, the mental power was weak and could not be mentioned on equal terms with Wu Hanning’s.

Nevertheless, after Wu Haohan’s mental power and fist force merged, the effect increased by a few times. That being said, the level of mental power impact could not harm Ou Yangming at all, so he gained a foothold after moving a few steps back.

Wu Haohan was dumbfounded and in confusion.

The fist technique was passed down to him as the imperial family’s secret technique. Other than carrying formidable power, the impact from his mental power would result in a wonderful effect.

In past generations, countless people had been taken out by the punch.

On the contrary, Ou Yangming was safe after having taken a hit, so Wu Haohan felt suspicious.

Wu Haohan immediately curbed his thought and attacked again. His fist force was not complicated because all he did was consecutively punch a few times. Each time the man punched, a node seemed to have been added in the void. As the fist forces increased, the nodes connected and formed a giant airtight net.

Ou Yangming was like a fish in the net. He seemed to be jumping cheerfully, but he was trapped in the net and could not get away anymore.

Many Yang Grade powerhouses sighed a breath of relief and smiled.

‘The Yin Grade fella is finally going to be captured,’ they thought. After witnessing the mightiness of the imperial family’s fist technique from Wu Haohan, then also wondered, ‘It’s clear that Wu Haohan is outstanding, but what about Wu Hanningthe imperial family’s God-favored daughter, who’s also known as a rare sight? How frightening will her abilities be?’ “Hah...”

All of a sudden, Wu Haohan let out a deafening roar. He withdrew his fist and counterattacked with the net that was formed from multiple forces. It was then when Ou Yangming shifted abruptly, and he seemed to be boneless. By adopting an odd step technique, he forcibly made his way out of the net.
