Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Hou Ziping’s Counterattack

Yang Wei’s palm was seized by Hou Ziping, and he was shocked, subconsciously trying to break free.

What he did not expect was that Hou Ziping’s fingers were like iron tongs, firmly clamping his palm. An immense force came through, making him feel as if his hand bones were about to split, causing unbearable pain.

"You... let go!"

Yang Wei was incredibly terrified and yelled out in frustration, while also throwing a punch towards Hou Ziping with his left hand.

Hou Ziping’s lips curled into a hint of a scornful cold smile as he too launched a punch.

"Bang!"

As their fists collided, contrary to what most spectators at the scene anticipated, Hou Ziping’s body only slightly swayed, but Yang Wei’s body was sent flying backwards.

As he was falling to the ground, still about a zhang high, Hou Ziping suddenly rushed forward and kicked him in mid-air.

"Ah!"

Hou Ziping’s kick, infused with True Essence Force, directly broke several of Yang Wei’s ribs, eliciting a pig-like scream from Yang Wei as his body flew up again.

This cycle repeated several times. Yang Wei had no strength to retaliate at all, being kicked until his muscles severed and bones broke, screaming repeatedly, until finally, when he landed, he had already passed out.

The disciples of the Inner Court surrounding the arena looked at Yang Wei who had fainted on the Practice Battle Arena, and then at Hou Ziping, who finally showed some excitement, finding it unbelievable.

Just three days ago, Hou Ziping had been nearly beaten to death by Yang Wei, who was arrogant and regarded as invincible among the disciples, ranked eighteenth in the combat strength list of the Inner Court. Now, however, the plot had dramatically reversed and that formidable Yang Wei was knocked unconscious by Hou Ziping in just a few moves.

Such a rapid change made the watching Inner Court disciples feel as though they were dreaming, yet the screams from Yang Wei reminded them that they were not dreaming, but this was reality.

It was just that this reality was hard to accept for the moment.

Yang Lin’s face was an ashen iron blue, his eyes flickered with alarming anger, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.

Yang Lin was furious, both angry at Hou Ziping for knocking his cousin unconscious and angry that his cousin had shown no resistance, losing to Hou Ziping, who wasn’t even on the list of power rankings of the Inner Court disciples, an utterly humiliating defeat.

Moreover, Yang Lin was also shocked and wary of Hou Ziping’s sudden increase in strength.

Yang Wei, being eighteenth in power among the Inner Court disciples, was not to be underestimated. Although Yang Lin was proud, he was not completely certain that he could defeat Yang Wei within just a few moves. However, now Hou Ziping had done it.

Doesn’t that mean that Hou Ziping now possesses the strength to challenge him?

At this thought, Yang Lin’s expression darkened even more, and he felt uneasy, his gaze towards Hou Ziping full of wariness.

Huang Miao was also shocked. She had considered all possibilities, even that Yang Wei might be defeated by Hou Ziping, but she never imagined that Yang Wei would lose so cleanly. Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it to be true.

Now, it seemed that Hou Ziping’s combat strength had completely crushed Yang Wei, even to the extent of challenging those ranked ahead of him on the Inner Court disciples’ strength list.

What baffled Huang Miao was that just three days ago, Hou Ziping had been severely injured by Yang Wei, barely clinging to life when carried back to his residence for recuperation. Yet now, not only had Hou Ziping fully recovered from his injuries, but he also seemed completely transformed, easily defeating Yang Wei. How could this be?

Huang Miao knew that something miraculous must have happened during these three days of Hou Ziping’s injury to cause such a drastic change.

"There seems to be a mysterious aura about Fang Bai, could Hou Ziping’s change be related to him?"

Huang Miao cast a thoughtful glance at Fang Bai, silently pondering.

After Yang Wei was defeated, the scene fell silent for a moment, followed by an uproar.

The two to three hundred Inner Court Disciples gathered at the Practice Battle Arena, at least nine out of ten had favored Yang Wei, hence placing their bets on his victory.

However, the few Inner Court Disciples who had bet on Hou Ziping primarily did so out of a speculative mentality, thinking, what if Hou Ziping actually won?

When Yang Wei was knocked out in the Practice Battle Arena by Hou Ziping, those who had bet on him were initially stunned, then some became frustrated and distraught, unable to refrain from ridiculing.

Meanwhile, those who had bet on Hou Ziping winning were all smiles, overjoyed. Some even stomped their feet in elation, regretting they hadn’t bet more on him.

That Hou Ziping would win was something Fang Bai had anticipated, so he still maintained a calm and nonchalant demeanor. His gaze shifted to Huang Miao, and he smiled lightly, "Senior Sister Huang, I apologize, I lucked out on the gamble!"

"Was it really just luck?"

Huang Miao squinted at Fang Bai, strongly feeling that the significant transformation in Hou Ziping had something to do with Fang Bai.

Fang Bai nonchalantly said, "Junior Brother Hou’s strength has indeed improved since the other day, but the main reason he could win so easily against Senior Brother Yang was that Senior Brother Yang had underestimated him. Otherwise, there would have been a fierce battle, and it’s hard to say who would have fallen. So I think Junior Brother Hou’s victory did include an element of luck. What do you think, Senior Sister Huang?"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Miao nodded and said, "That’s true, Junior Brother Yang was indeed complacent, but Junior Brother Hou’s progress is significant too. I’m very curious, how could Junior Brother Hou’s injuries heal so quickly in just a few days, and his strength also improved so much...Junior Brother Fang, do you know the reason?"

Before coming to the Practice Battle Arena, Fang Bai had already aligned his story with Hou Ziping. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother Hou told me that during his past training experiences, he fortuitously obtained a Healing Pill. Three days ago, when he was severely injured by Senior Brother Yang, he took that Healing Pill, and unexpectedly, his injuries healed in just a couple of days, and his strength also greatly improved, much to his surprise."

"So that’s how it was."

Huang Miao looked at Hou Ziping approaching them and cheerfully said, "Junior Brother Hou has been troubled for years by his stagnant Cultivation Level. Now, having such a fortunate opportunity is indeed a cause for celebration."

Some Inner Court Disciples nearby, upon hearing the conversation between Fang Bai and Huang Miao, now understood that Hou Ziping’s sudden increase in strength was due to such a fortunate event. Some envied him while others felt jealous.

Now that Hou Ziping had easily defeated Yang Wei, it proved that his strength was far superior to Yang Wei’s, creating the possibility for him to contend for a spot among the top ten in the Inner Court Disciples’ power rankings.

It could be anticipated that next, Hou Ziping would challenge the top ten elite fighters of the Inner Court Disciples. Perhaps soon, the rankings on the Bitao Martial Academy’s Inner Court Disciples’ power list might witness significant changes.

By this time, Hou Ziping had already approached Fang Bai, his face full of excitement and agitation.
