Chapter 231: Chapter 237: Who Else Is Unconvinced?

A surge of formidable Inner Strength rushed out following Fang Yi’s fist.

Bai Kuang felt the full force of this Inner Strength as it struck his arms and fists.

Bai Kuang was at the ninth Human Level, he too possessed Inner Strength and was confident that his was stronger than Fang Yi’s. However, after the brief but intense clash, Bai Kuang felt a profound sense of helplessness.

Bai Kuang’s Inner Strength was overwhelmed by Fang Yi’s, pushed back as if two rivers were colliding head-on, with the outcome dependent on which river was more powerful and could engulf and push back the other.

At this moment, the Inner Strength exerted by Fang Yi was like that dominant river, unmatched in its ferocity, charging forward with boldness, unstoppable by anyone!

"This... this is not the strength of the seventh Human Level!" Bai Kuang raged furiously.

"You’re just realizing that now?" Fang Yi replied with a smile, his words tinged with mockery.

Bai Kuang let out a low growl of rage. If this wasn’t the strength of the seventh Human Level, then... it must be the eighth or perhaps the ninth...

At this moment, Bai Kuang’s face lost all color.

He had thought that ascending from the eighth to the ninth Human Level was an arduous task that few of his peers could achieve!

But... Fang Yi before him had gone from the seventh to the ninth Human Level!

What sort of strength was this?

Leaping across two levels, this could only be the work of a martial arts genius, a prodigy—no, even calling it monstrous wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

Bai Kuang’s face was filled with shock, but with his inherent arrogance, he did not want to lose to Fang Yi for a second time!

He refused to accept defeat!

Enraged to the extreme, Bai Kuang once again gathered all his True Qi into his right arm, his Inner Strength becoming even more formidable.

Yet, at this moment, Fang Yi across from him simply stated:

"It’s useless."

Those words struck Bai Kuang like thunder, leaving his mind reeling and blank.

Useless?

Bai Kuang had no time to ponder because Fang Yi gave him no time to think. Fang Yi’s arm vibrated with Inner Strength, and Bai Kuang, at the ninth Human Level, was violently shaken and expelled from the arena.

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.

No one discussed, no one shouted, and no one mocked Fang Yi anymore.

The whole hall was eerily quiet; they were all in shock.

If even the ninth Human Level Bai Kuang had lost, who else... who else could subdue Fang Yi?

At this time, the crowd realized that Fang Yi’s successive defeats that night had been nothing but a ploy, a ruse that had fooled them all.

They had thought that with Bai Kuang’s advancement to the ninth Human Level, coupled with Fang Yi’s cultivation mishap, Fang Yi’s defeat was certain.

Yet now, Fang Yi had used his strength to tell them that his previous show of weakness had been deliberate.

Everyone was shaken, the atmosphere deathly still; they could barely even take deep breaths.

Standing in the arena, Fang Yi looked down upon the crowd. After a brief pause, he slowly said, "If there is anyone else who remains unconvinced, come forth and challenge me. I shall satisfy your doubts."

The audience was dead silent, no one stepped up to the platform.

Even Bai Kuang at the ninth Human Level had been defeated, what could they do? What means did they have?

Fang Yi stood alone on the arena, casting a proud gaze all around, capturing the crowd’s expressions, then letting out a cold laugh, he said, "The prestigious Four Alliances, are there no more challengers? If no one dares to fight, then I’m afraid I’ll have to bestow upon you the title of weaklings."

These utterly defiant words spilled from Fang Yi’s mouth, causing every spectator’s complexion to change.

Fang Yi had his own reasons for acting this way. At this Five Alliances Conference in Moon City, he wanted to take this opportunity to root out all his enemies and then defeat them one by one.

At this moment, Fang Yi, with his attitude, was the best at drawing hostility, and this was also the best opportunity.

However, to Fang Yi’s disappointment, no one stepped forward. Although some were furious, they all knew their own limitations and dared not speak out against him.

Fang Yi sneered inwardly. Previously, these people were more enthusiastic than anyone, encouraging Bai Kuang to defeat him.

However, after Bai Kuang was defeated by Fang Yi, everyone, as if by prior agreement and strange tacit understanding, remained calm.

As the saying goes, weakness invites aggression, and horses that are too gentle are ridden. At this moment, Fang Yi was so dominant, who else would dare to challenge him?

Fang Yi wore a sneer, almost like a provocation. Even though he made such bold claims, no one dared to come up, which disappointed him—he had dug such a big pit yet no one was jumping in.

"Young man." Just then, an old man seated beside Elder Ye Yi stood up and said, "One must not be too arrogant in life! You’ve won, there’s no need for such arrogance. Young people should maintain humility."

Fang Yi replied coldly, "I’ve been very humble! But some among you have been pushing me step by step, so don’t blame me for being immodest."

The elder narrowed his eyes slightly and, with a cold expression, said, "Young man, unchecked arrogance can lead to a very ugly fall."

Fang Yi said proudly, "Are you not convinced? If you’re not, then come up and fight me. I will accompany you to the end."

"You!"

The elder pointed at Fang Yi, his face extremely unsightly, staring at Fang Yi with anger. He really wanted to rush out.

However, the old man knew he was no match for his opponent. Besides the disadvantage of old age against youth, he was deeply aware that he could not compete with Fang Yi. If he were to go up and be defeated, where would he put his old face?

What the elder had not anticipated was that Fang Yi would dare to talk back to him. With his seniority among the five major alliances, everyone would normally address him with respect.

But the young man in front of him was simply too arrogant.

Seeing that the elder had no response, Fang Yi said no more. He turned to look down at the crowd and said indifferently, "Since no one else is coming up to challenge, I will step down. So much for the so-called alliances!"

With that, Fang Yi stepped off the stage.

Every eye in the hall was on Fang Yi, yet no one dared challenge him. As Fang Yi walked through the crowd, everyone made way for him, fearing they would incur his wrath.

In this world, what matters is whose fist is bigger, for they hold the truth.

Having reached the ground level, Fang Yi sat down. Song Wuliang quickly came forward with a grin, saying, "Brother Fang, well done, truly well done. You’ve made us proud this time. Here, I toast to you."

"Yeah, Brother Yi, you were amazing just now. Genuine Eight Extremes Fist! I admire you!" Yao Bo also raised his cup.

"I toast to you too, Brother Yi," Yao Dong likewise lifted his cup.

The three of them were genuinely impressed by Fang Yi. Perhaps they had harbored some resentment before, but now they were all convinced.

Fang Yi did not refuse their toasts and drank with them.

For a time, these four became the focal point of the entire hall.

...

Su Ge’er raised a cup of wine with a light smile, "Here, Sister Jingjing, a toast to you."

Bai Jingjing said, "No need for such eagerness without cause, Su Ge’er, just speak your mind."

Su Ge’er laughed, "Sister Jingjing is really straightforward... But actually, I don’t have much to say, just what I mentioned earlier, about letting me have a sip of the soup, what do you think..."

"No chance," Bai Jingjing said coldly.

I haven’t even gotten a bite of the meat, and you want to drink the soup? It was natural that Bai Jingjing would not agree.

Subtly, even Bai Jingjing herself didn’t know that her behavior carried a hint of protectiveness, as if she was treating Fang Yi as her private possession, untouchable by others—this was her bottom line.
