At this moment, Xiao Yufan remained completely unaware that the Ancient Martial Arts Conference was in full swing. Elder Situ had not forcibly awakened him, as the enlightening experience was a tremendous opportunity for anyone.
Even if it meant missing the conference, Elder Situ didn’t want Xiao Yufan to miss this chance. Besides, given Xiao Yufan’s personality, it was unlikely he would truly miss the event.
As time slowly passed, the figures appearing on the stage grew increasingly formidable. From mid-level Condensed Power practitioners to peak Condensed Power experts, and finally, even those at the Half-Step Postnatal Realm couldn’t resist and chose to make their move.
“Hidden Gong Family, Gong Hao!”
Gong Hao had been watching from below, barely able to contain himself. But gradually, he grew more and more alarmed, realizing that his own strength wasn’t much to boast about…
“Gong Hao, huh? I’ve been waiting for you. I hope you don’t get kicked off, otherwise, how can I humiliate you? But as usual, the Gong family remains shameless. The opponent has already fought five matches, and you only just step up now!”
In a corner, Hong Zhong’s eyes sharpened as he spotted Gong Hao. This arrogant fellow had the deepest grudge with him, and naturally, Hong Zhong wouldn’t let him continue to show off.
“Half-Step Postnatal Realm, and you dare to fight someone who has already battled five matches? You’re really embarrassing the Hidden Gong Family. If you wanted to show off, why didn’t you step up earlier?”
As soon as Gong Hao appeared, he drew widespread dissatisfaction. The person on the stage had endured against five peak Condensed Power experts, earning everyone’s respect. Yet, this guy wanted to use him to establish his own reputation.
For a moment, the crowd’s angry voices filled the air. Although Gong Hao’s expression turned ugly, he quickly adjusted his emotions. As the saying goes, the victor is king, and the loser is a bandit. Even if he used this person to establish his reputation, so what? Not only that, he intended to overshadow even more people under his aura.
“This trash only knows how to take shortcuts. His Half-Step Postnatal Realm isn’t even stable yet. What does he have to boast about?”
Gong Luotian slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Gong Hao, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips. This guy really had disgraced the Hidden Gong Family. As he spoke, his gaze subtly shifted to several other directions, where a few young people stood, even he felt somewhat wary of them.
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd. No one had expected Gong Hao to strike first. Although his internal energy was somewhat unstable and not yet solidified, the power of the Half-Step Postnatal Realm was terrifying!
With a sweeping force, Gong Hao’s movements left no room for his opponent. Since he had already earned a bad reputation, he needed to win, and win spectacularly, otherwise, how could he intimidate others?
Although many people looked down on Gong Hao’s performance, they couldn’t deny that this guy was indeed strong. In just a few exchanges, his opponent already showed signs of fatigue.
But Gong Hao’s aggressive moves also ignited his opponent’s anger. Both of their auras expanded simultaneously, and those near the stage who hadn’t reached the Condensed Power level felt a cold breeze and instinctively stepped back.
“Even at your peak, you couldn’t contend with me. Now, it’s even more impossible!”
Feeling the pressure instantly, Gong Hao was startled. He had thought his opponent was at the end of his rope, but how could he still unleash such formidable strength? Still, this wasn’t enough to make him retreat…
“Shameless, talking is easier than singing!”
“Exactly! If this kid from the Hidden Yin Family hadn’t been so exhausted, he might not have been in such a sorry state. This guy from the Gong Family really knows how to boast!”
Hearing the voices from below, Gong Hao was on the verge of losing his temper. In his eyes, there was no such thing as righteousness. He only believed that strength was the ultimate capital. As long as he was strong enough, he would naturally stand above others.
In an instant, Gong Hao vented all his anger on his opponent. A surge of powerful internal energy erupted, and the person closest to Gong Hao bore the brunt of it, feeling a surge of blood in his chest and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
“I admit defeat!”
The opponent frowned, his voice filled with resentment. The rules of the Ancient Martial Arts Conference weren’t that losing meant being out of the top ten. Instead, it was based on points. After defeating five opponents before losing, he had already proven his strength.
But just as he was withdrawing his aura, he suddenly felt a chill down his back. Looking up, he met Gong Hao’s cold gaze. Even after admitting defeat, this guy still intended to attack.
Many people also noticed the situation on the stage, once again impressed by Gong Hao’s shamelessness. His actions were always so despicable!
But Gong Hao was also a smart man. He didn’t want to face this person’s retaliation in the future, so he naturally wanted to cripple him first. Letting a tiger return to the mountains would only lead to trouble…
“Junior from the Gong Family, how dare you attack!”
Below the stage, an elder from the Hidden Yin Family stood up, shouting angrily. Even though his strength was at the peak of the Innate Realm, he couldn’t possibly save the person from such a distance.
He could only hope that his shout would have some effect, but soon, the Yin Family elder realized that Gong Hao didn’t care about him at all.
Gritting his teeth, the Yin Family’s young man had no choice but to brace himself against Gong Hao’s attack. Since he had already withdrawn his aura, if he tried to resist, the only outcome would be severe injury.
“He’s already admitted defeat, and you still want to kill him? You’re worse than a dog!”
An angry voice suddenly rang out. In front of Gong Hao appeared a figure—it was Hong Zhong, who had been closely watching the situation. Seeing Hong Zhong step forward, Gong Hao’s brow furrowed.
At the same time, Situ Xuan and Gong Luotian slowly looked up, somewhat surprised to see Hong Zhong. Why had this guy’s strength increased so much…
“Hong Zhong, it seems the lesson from last time wasn’t enough for you!”
Seeing Hong Zhong, Gong Hao’s lips curled into a cold smile. Hong Zhong had the biggest grudge with him, so he harbored deep resentment towards this person. Facing him again, he didn’t hide his emotions at all…
“If you hadn’t had help last time, I would have crushed you like a dog. And obviously, I still can!”
Hong Zhong nodded to another person, who slightly cupped his fists and stepped down, casting a resentful glance at Gong Hao before leaving. Clearly, he was also angry.
And Hong Zhong’s voice rang out once more, “Crushing you like a dog.” After his seclusion, Hong Zhong had become even more arrogant than before…
Even if he missed the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, Master Situ still didn’t want Xiao Yufan to miss this chance. Moreover, considering Xiao Yufan’s personality, there was no way he would truly miss such an event.
At this moment, Xiao Yufan remained completely unaware that the Ancient Martial Arts Conference was in full swing. Elder Situ did not forcibly wake him, as the enlightening experience was a rare opportunity for anyone.
Even if it meant missing the conference, Elder Situ didn’t want Xiao Yufan to miss this chance. Besides, knowing Xiao Yufan’s personality, it was unlikely he would truly miss the event.
As time passed, the people appearing on the stage grew increasingly formidable, from mid-level Condensed Power to peak Condensed Power, and finally, some half-step Postnatal realm experts couldn’t hold back and chose to make their move.
“Hidden Gong Family, Gong Hao!”
Gong Hao had been watching from below, barely containing his eagerness. But gradually, he became more and more alarmed, realizing his strength wasn’t as impressive as he had thought…
“Gong Hao, I’ve been waiting for you. I hope you don’t get kicked off, or else how can I humiliate you? But the Gong family remains shameless as ever. The opponent has already fought five matches, and you only just stepped up!”
In a corner, Hong Zhong’s eyes sharpened as he saw Gong Hao’s figure. This arrogant fellow had the deepest grudge with him, and naturally, Hong Zhong wouldn’t let him show off.
“Half-step Postnatal realm, and you dare to fight someone who has already battled five matches? You’re truly disgracing the Hidden Gong Family. If you wanted to show off, why didn’t you step up earlier?”
As soon as Gong Hao appeared, he drew widespread dissatisfaction. The person on the stage had held their ground against five peak Condensed Power experts, earning much respect. Yet, Gong Hao sought to use this opportunity to establish his dominance.
Criticism echoed continuously. Though Gong Hao’s expression turned grim, he quickly adjusted his emotions. As the saying goes, the winner takes all. Even if he used this person to assert his dominance, so what? Not only that, he intended to overshadow more people under his aura.
“This trash only knows how to take shortcuts. His half-step Postnatal realm isn’t even stable. What does he have to boast about?”
Gong Luotian slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Gong Hao, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips. This guy had truly disgraced the Hidden Gong Family. As he spoke, his gaze subtly shifted to several other directions, where a few young people even he found somewhat intimidating.
A gasp rose from the crowd. No one expected Gong Hao to strike first. Although his internal energy was somewhat unstable, the power of a half-step Postnatal realm was terrifying!
With a sweeping momentum, Gong Hao left no room for his opponent. Since he was already branded with infamy, he had to win decisively to intimidate others.
Though many looked down on Gong Hao’s actions, they couldn’t deny his strength. In just a few exchanges, his opponent began to show signs of fatigue.
But Gong Hao’s aggression also ignited his opponent’s fury. Both their auras expanded simultaneously, and those near the stage who hadn’t reached the Condensed Power level felt a cold breeze and instinctively stepped back.
“Even at your peak, you couldn’t contend with me. Now, it’s even more impossible!”
Feeling the sudden pressure, Gong Hao was startled. He had thought his opponent was at their limit, yet they still unleashed such formidable strength. But even so, it wasn’t enough to make him retreat…
“Shameless, your words are sweeter than your actions!”
“Exactly! If the Hidden Yin Family’s young man hadn’t been so exhausted, he might not have been in such a sorry state. The Gong family guy really knows how to boast!”
Hearing the voices from below, Gong Hao was on the verge of losing his temper. In his eyes, there was no such thing as righteousness. He only believed that strength was the ultimate capital. As long as he was powerful enough, he would naturally stand above others.
In an instant, Gong Hao channeled all his rage into his opponent. A surge of powerful internal energy erupted, and the person closest to Gong Hao bore the brunt, feeling a rush of blood in his chest, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
“I admit defeat!”
The man frowned, his voice filled with resentment. The rules of the Ancient Martial Arts Conference weren’t such that a loss meant disqualification from the top ten. Instead, it was based on points. After defeating five opponents before losing, he had already proven his strength.
But just as he withdrew his aura, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Looking up, he met Gong Hao’s icy gaze. Even after admitting defeat, Gong Hao still intended to strike.
Many noticed the situation on the stage, once again appalled by Gong Hao’s shamelessness. His actions were always despicable!
But Gong Hao was also a clever man. Not wanting to face retaliation from this person in the future, he naturally had to cripple him first. He wouldn’t let a tiger return to the mountains to become a threat…
“Junior of the Gong family, how dare you strike!”
Below the stage, an elder from the Hidden Yin Family stood up, shouting in anger. Even with his strength at the peak of the Innate realm, he couldn’t rescue the young man from such a distance.
He could only hope his shout would have some effect, but soon the Yin Family elder realized Gong Hao had no regard for him at all.
Gritting his teeth, the young man from the Yin Family had no choice but to brace himself against Gong Hao’s attack. Since he had already withdrawn his aura, the only outcome was severe injury.
“He’s already admitted defeat, yet you still want to kill him? You’re no better than a dog!”
An angry voice suddenly rang out. In front of Gong Hao appeared a figure—Hong Zhong, who had been closely watching the situation. Seeing Hong Zhong step forward, Gong Hao’s brow furrowed.
At the same time, Situ Xuan and Gong Luotian slowly looked up, somewhat startled by Hong Zhong’s appearance. Why had this guy’s strength increased so much…
“Hong Zhong, it seems the lesson from last time wasn’t enough for you!”
Seeing Hong Zhong, Gong Hao’s lips curled into a cold smile. Hong Zhong had the biggest grudge with him, so he harbored deep resentment. Facing him again, Gong Hao didn’t hide his emotions…
“If it weren’t for your helpers last time, I would have humiliated you like a dog. Of course, it’s still the same now!”
Hong Zhong nodded to another person, who gave a slight bow before stepping down, casting a resentful glance at Gong Hao as he left. Clearly, he was also filled with anger.
And Hong Zhong’s voice rang out once more: “Humiliating you is as easy as humiliating a dog.” After his seclusion, Hong Zhong had become even more arrogant than before…
“Hidden Palace Family, Gong Hao!”
Gong Hao had been watching from below and had long been unable to contain himself. Gradually, however, he became increasingly alarmed—his own strength really didn’t offer much to boast about…
“Gong Hao, I’ve been waiting for you all along. I hope you don’t get knocked down too quickly. Otherwise, how can I humiliate you properly? But the Palace family still has no shame. Others have already fought five matches, and you only come up now, damn it!”
Hong Zhong, from a corner of the arena, saw Gong Hao’s shadow and his eyes immediately turned sharp. This arrogant fellow had the deepest grudge with him, so naturally, he wouldn’t let this guy show off without opposition!
At this moment, Xiao Yufan remained completely unaware that the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly was in full swing. Elder Situ did not forcibly wake him, as the profound enlightenment he was experiencing was a rare opportunity for anyone.
Even if it meant missing the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly, Elder Situ did not want Xiao Yufan to miss this chance. Besides, given Xiao Yufan’s character, it was unlikely he would truly miss the event.
As time slowly passed, the figures appearing on the stage grew increasingly formidable. From mid-stage Condensed Power practitioners to peak-stage Condensed Power experts, and finally, even those half-step into the Postnatal Realm could no longer hold back and chose to make their move.
“Hidden Gong Family, Gong Hao!”
Gong Hao had been watching from below, unable to contain his eagerness. However, as time went on, he became increasingly alarmed, realizing that his own strength was not as impressive as he had thought…
“Gong Hao, I’ve been waiting for you. I hope you don’t get kicked off, or else how can I humiliate you? But as usual, the Gong family is shameless. The opponent has already fought five matches, and you only just stepped up!”
In a corner, Hong Zhong’s eyes sharpened as he caught sight of Gong Hao. This arrogant fellow had the deepest grudge with him, and naturally, Hong Zhong wouldn’t let him continue to show off.
“Half-step into the Postnatal Realm, and you dare to fight someone who has already battled five matches? You’re truly embarrassing the Hidden Gong Family. If you wanted to show off, why didn’t you step up earlier?”
As soon as Gong Hao appeared, he drew the ire of many. The person on the stage had managed to hold their ground against five peak-stage Condensed Power experts, earning the respect of many. Yet, this guy wanted to use them to establish his own reputation.
The sound of scolding filled the air. Although Gong Hao’s expression turned ugly, he quickly adjusted his emotions. As the saying goes, the winner takes all. Even if he used this person to establish his reputation, so what? Not only that, he intended to overshadow even more people under his own glory.
“This trash only knows how to take shortcuts. His half-step into the Postnatal Realm isn’t even stable. What does he have to boast about?”
Gong Luotian slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Gong Hao, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips. This guy had truly disgraced the Hidden Gong Family. As he spoke, his gaze subtly shifted to a few other directions, where several young people stood, even he felt somewhat wary of them.
A wave of exclamations erupted from the audience. No one had expected Gong Hao to strike first. Although his internal energy was somewhat unstable and not yet solidified, the power of a half-step into the Postnatal Realm was terrifying!
With a sweeping momentum, Gong Hao’s movements left no room for the opponent. Since he had already earned a bad reputation, he needed to win, and win beautifully, to truly intimidate others.
Although many looked down on Gong Hao’s actions, they couldn’t deny that this guy was indeed strong. In just a few exchanges, the opponent was already showing signs of fatigue.
However, Gong Hao’s aggressive tactics also ignited the opponent’s anger. Both of their auras expanded simultaneously, and those near the stage who hadn’t reached the Condensed Power stage felt a cold breeze and instinctively stepped back.
“Even at your peak, you couldn’t stand against me. Now, it’s even more impossible!”
Feeling the pressure, Gong Hao was startled. He had thought the opponent was at their limit, but how could they still unleash such formidable strength? Still, this wasn’t enough to make him retreat…
“Shameless! You talk better than you sing!”
“Exactly! If the young master from the Hidden Yin Family hadn’t been so exhausted, he might not have been in such a sorry state. This guy from the Gong Family really knows how to boast!”
Hearing the voices from below, Gong Hao was on the verge of losing his temper. In his eyes, there was no such thing as morality. He only believed that strength was the ultimate capital. As long as he was strong enough, he would naturally stand above others.
In an instant, Gong Hao channeled all his anger into his opponent. A surge of powerful internal energy erupted, and the person closest to Gong Hao bore the brunt, feeling a surge of blood in his chest, with a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
“I admit defeat!”
The opponent frowned, his voice filled with resentment. The rules of the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly weren’t such that losing meant being out of the top ten; instead, it was based on points. After defeating five opponents before losing, he had already proven his strength.
But just as he was withdrawing his aura, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Looking up, he met Gong Hao’s cold gaze. Even after admitting defeat, this guy still intended to strike.
Many also noticed the situation on the stage and were once again astounded by Gong Hao’s shamelessness. His actions were always so despicable!
But Gong Hao was also a clever man. He didn’t want to risk being retaliated against in the future, so he naturally chose to cripple this person first. He wouldn’t make the mistake of letting a tiger return to the mountains…
“Junior from the Gong Family, how dare you strike!”
From below the stage, an elder from the Hidden Yin Family stood up, shouting in anger. Even though his strength was at the peak of the Innate Realm, he couldn’t possibly save the person from such a distance.
All he could hope was that his shout would have some effect, but soon the Yin Family elder realized that Gong Hao didn’t care in the slightest.
Gritting his teeth, the young man from the Yin Family had no choice but to brace himself against Gong Hao’s attack. Since he had already withdrawn his aura, if he tried to resist, the only outcome would be severe injury.
“He’s already admitted defeat, yet you still want to kill him? You’re worse than a dog!”
An angry voice suddenly rang out. In front of Gong Hao appeared a figure—it was Hong Zhong, who had been closely watching the situation. Seeing Hong Zhong step forward, Gong Hao’s brow furrowed.
At the same time, Situ Xuan and Gong Luotian also slowly looked up, somewhat surprised to see Hong Zhong. Why had this guy’s strength increased so much…
“Hong Zhong, it seems the lesson you received last time wasn’t enough!”
Seeing Hong Zhong, Gong Hao’s lips curled into a cold smile. Hong Zhong had the biggest grudge with him, so he harbored deep resentment towards this person. Now, face to face again, he didn’t hide his emotions…
“If it weren’t for your helpers last time, I would have crushed you like a dog. And now, it’s still the same!”
Hong Zhong nodded to another person, who gave a slight bow before stepping down, casting a resentful glance at Gong Hao as he left. Clearly, he was also filled with anger.
And Hong Zhong’s voice rang out once more—crushing you like a dog. After his seclusion, Hong Zhong had become even more arrogant than before…
As soon as Gong Hao appeared, many people expressed their dissatisfaction. The fighter currently on stage had persisted against five opponents at the peak of Qi Condensation, naturally earning much respect. Yet this guy wanted to use him to establish his dominance.
Immediately, a chorus of angry voices filled the air. Gong Hao’s face darkened slightly, but soon he regained his composure. After all, success justifies everything—what difference did it make if he used this person to elevate his reputation? Moreover, he intended to suppress even more people beneath his glory.
“This good-for-nothing, always scheming and taking shortcuts! Without even stabilizing his half-step Post-Heaven realm, what does he have to boast about?”
Gong Luotian slowly opened his previously closed eyes, glancing at Gong Hao, his lips involuntarily twitching. This fellow had truly disgraced the Hidden Palace family. As he thought this, his gaze subtly shifted toward several other directions where a few young men resided—individuals even he found intimidating.
A gasp of astonishment rose from the crowd below. No one had expected Gong Hao to strike first. Although his inner energy was somewhat shallow, not yet stabilized, his half-step Post-Heaven realm power was terrifyingly strong!
With a momentum capable of sweeping away thousands of soldiers, Gong Hao left no room for his opponent. Since he had already borne the criticism, he had to win—and win impressively. Otherwise, how could he intimidate others?
Although many people looked down upon Gong Hao’s behavior, they couldn’t deny his strength. Within just a few exchanges, his opponent had already shown signs of fatigue.
But Gong Hao’s aggressive attacks only ignited his opponent’s fury. Both fighters’ auras surged simultaneously. Around the arena, those whose cultivation levels had not yet reached the Qi Condensation stage felt a chilling wind and instinctively stepped back.
“Even at your peak, you couldn’t defeat me. Now, it’s even less possible!”
Instantly feeling the pressure, Gong Hao was startled. He had thought his opponent was already at his limit, so how could he suddenly unleash such formidable strength? Still, this alone wouldn’t make Gong Hao retreat…
“What a shameless bastard! Talking big like that!”
“Yeah, yeah! If this young man from the Hidden Yin family hadn’t been so drained, he wouldn’t necessarily be in such a predicament. This Palace family fellow is truly overestimating himself!”
Hearing the jeers from the crowd below once again, Gong Hao nearly exploded with rage. To him, morality meant nothing—he only believed that power was the only currency. As long as he was strong enough, he could stand above others.
In an instant, Gong Hao unleashed all his fury upon his opponent. A powerful surge of inner energy erupted forth. The opponent, standing close, felt his heart churn violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
“I’ve lost!”
The man furrowed his brows, his voice filled with resentment. The Ancient Martial Arts Tournament’s rules did not mean that losing a match would disqualify someone from the top ten. Instead, rankings were determined by accumulated points. Having defeated five opponents before losing, he had already proven his strength.
However, just as he was retracting his aura, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation from behind. Looking up, he met Gong Hao’s cold, sinister gaze. After surrendering, this man still dared to attack him.
Many spectators also noticed the unfolding situation, once again astounded by Gong Hao’s audacity. His actions never failed to provoke widespread disdain!
However, Gong Hao was no fool. He didn’t want to face retaliation from this opponent one day, so naturally, he wanted to eliminate the threat first—he would never allow a tiger to return to the mountains only to grow stronger later…
“Junior of the Palace family, how dare you strike again!”
At this moment, Xiao Yufan remained completely unaware that the Ancient Martial Arts Conference was in full swing. Elder Situ did not forcibly wake him, as the process of enlightenment was a rare opportunity for everyone.
Even if it meant missing the conference, Elder Situ didn’t want Xiao Yufan to miss this chance. Besides, given Xiao Yufan’s nature, it was unlikely he would truly miss the event.
As time slowly passed, the figures appearing on the stage grew increasingly formidable. From mid-level Condensed Power practitioners to those at the peak, and finally, some half-step Postnatal Realm experts could no longer hold back and chose to make their move.
“Hidden Gong Family, Gong Hao!”
Gong Hao had been watching from below, unable to contain himself any longer. However, as time went on, he grew more and more apprehensive, realizing that his own strength wasn’t something to boast about…
“Gong Hao, huh? I’ve been waiting for you. I hope you don’t get kicked off the stage, or else how can I humiliate you? But the Gong family is still as shameless as ever. The opponent has already fought five matches, and you only just stepped up!”
In a corner, Hong Zhong’s eyes sharpened as he caught sight of Gong Hao. This arrogant fellow had the deepest grudge with him, and naturally, Hong Zhong wouldn’t let him continue to show off.
“Half-step Postnatal Realm, and you dare to fight someone who has already battled five matches? You’re truly embarrassing the Hidden Gong Family. If you wanted to show off, why didn’t you step up earlier?”
As soon as Gong Hao appeared, he drew the ire of many. The person on the stage had managed to hold their ground against five peak Condensed Power experts, earning the respect of many. Yet, this guy wanted to use them to establish his own reputation.
The sound of condemnation filled the air. Although Gong Hao’s expression turned ugly, he quickly adjusted his emotions. As the saying goes, the winner takes all. Even if he used this person to establish his reputation, so what? Not only that, but he would also suppress more people under his halo.
“This trash only knows how to take shortcuts. His half-step Postnatal Realm isn’t even stable yet. What does he have to boast about?”
Gong Luotian slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Gong Hao, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips. This guy had truly disgraced the Hidden Gong Family. As he spoke, his gaze subtly shifted to several other directions, where a few young people stood, even he felt a sense of caution.
A gasp of surprise rose from the crowd. No one had expected Gong Hao to strike first. Although his internal energy was somewhat unstable and not yet solidified, the power of a half-step Postnatal Realm was terrifying!
With a sweeping force, Gong Hao’s movements left no room for his opponent. Since he had already earned a bad reputation, he needed to win, and win decisively, to intimidate others.
Although many looked down on Gong Hao’s performance, they couldn’t deny that this guy was indeed strong. In just a few exchanges, his opponent was already showing signs of fatigue.

Feeling the pressure, Gong Hao was startled. He had thought his opponent was at the end of their strength, but how could they still unleash such formidable power? Still, this wasn’t enough to make him retreat…
“Shameless! You talk better than you sing!”
“Yeah, if this kid from the Hidden Yin Family hadn’t been so exhausted, he might not have been in such a sorry state. This guy from the Gong Family really knows how to boast!”
Hearing the voices from below, Gong Hao was on the verge of losing his temper. In his eyes, there was no such thing as righteousness. He only believed that strength was the ultimate capital. As long as he was strong enough, he would naturally stand above others.
In an instant, Gong Hao vented all his anger on his opponent. A surge of powerful internal energy erupted, and the person closest to Gong Hao bore the brunt of it, feeling a rush of blood in his chest, with a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
“I admit defeat!”
The opponent frowned, his voice filled with resentment. The rules of the Ancient Martial Arts Conference weren’t such that losing meant being disqualified from the top ten. Instead, it was based on points. After defeating five opponents before losing, he had already proven his strength.
But just as he was withdrawing his aura, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Looking up, he met Gong Hao’s cold gaze. Even after admitting defeat, this guy still intended to strike.
Many also noticed the situation on the stage, once again struck by Gong Hao’s shamelessness. His actions were always so despicable!
But Gong Hao was also a clever man. He didn’t want to be retaliated against in the future, so he naturally had to act first and cripple this person. He wouldn’t make the mistake of letting a tiger return to the mountains…
“Junior of the Gong Family, how dare you strike!”
Below the stage, an elder from the Hidden Yin Family stood up, shouting in anger. Even though his strength was at the peak of the Innate Realm, he couldn’t possibly save that person from such a distance.
All he could hope was that his shout would have some effect. But soon, the elder from the Yin Family realized that Gong Hao didn’t show the slightest concern for him.
Gritting his teeth, the young man from the Yin Family had no choice but to brace himself against Gong Hao’s attack. Since he had already withdrawn his aura, if he tried to resist, the only outcome would be severe injury.
“He’s already admitted defeat, and you still want to kill him? You’re nothing but a dog!”
An angry voice suddenly rang out. In front of Gong Hao appeared a figure—it was Hong Zhong, who had been closely watching the situation. Seeing Hong Zhong step forward, Gong Hao’s brow furrowed slightly.
At the same time, Situ Xuan and Gong Luotian also slowly looked up, somewhat surprised to see Hong Zhong. Why had this guy’s strength increased so much…
“Hong Zhong, it seems the lesson from last time wasn’t enough for you!”
Seeing Hong Zhong, a cold smile appeared on Gong Hao’s lips. Hong Zhong had the biggest grudge with him, so he harbored deep resentment towards this person. Facing him again, he didn’t hide his emotions…
“If it weren’t for your helpers last time, I would have crushed you like a dog. Of course, it’s still the same now!”
Hong Zhong nodded to another person, who slightly cupped his fists before stepping down, casting a resentful glance at Gong Hao as he left. Clearly, he was also filled with anger.
And Hong Zhong’s voice rang out once more: “Crushing you like a dog.” After his seclusion, Hong Zhong had become even more arrogant than before…
Right now, he could only hope that his shout would have some effect. But soon, the Yin family elder realized that Gong Hao showed absolutely no concern for him.
Gritting his teeth, the young Yin family member could only brace himself against Gong Hao’s attack. Since he had already withdrawn his aura, resisting directly could only result in serious injury.
“He’s already surrendered, yet you still want to kill him! What a despicable creature!”
A furious voice suddenly rang out. Before Gong Hao stood a figure—Hong Zhong, who had been closely watching the match all along. Seeing Hong Zhong step forward, Gong Hao’s brows furrowed slightly.
At the same time, Situ Xuan and Gong Luotian slowly raised their heads, looking at Hong Zhong with visible surprise. How had this fellow’s strength increased so significantly…
“Hong Zhong, it seems you haven’t learned your lesson from last time!”
Seeing Hong Zhong’s figure, a cold smirk appeared on Gong Hao’s lips. Back then, Hong Zhong had the biggest grudge with him, so he harbored deep resentment toward this person. Facing each other again, he showed no restraint in expressing his emotions.
“If it wasn’t for your backup last time, I would have humiliated you like a dog. And clearly, that’s still the case!”
Hong Zhong nodded toward another person beside him. The latter slightly bowed and then stepped down, casting a resentful glare at Gong Hao before leaving. Evidently, he was also furious.
Hong Zhong’s voice followed soon after—”I would humiliate you like a dog.” After his recent retreat for cultivation, Hong Zhong had become even more arrogant than before…
