'What an arrogant tone! What a show-off!

'But why does it still feel so odd?' Bai Shixue wondered.

"Boom…"

On the other side, Zuoqiu Hongyuan leaped forward on the ring and gently tapped his opponent's body. The Yang Grade powerhouse, who had been fighting him for a long time, finally lost balance and slipped off the ring.

Zuoqiu Hongyuan stood up straight, and his towering body released a proud and an unparalleled aura.

He later turned around to stare at Ou Yangming, and he curled his lips strangely.

'Ring domination from a Yin Grade martial artist—how interesting! At the very least, there wasn't a ring defender like him in the past Myriad Treasure Meets.

'Although Supreme Great Ancestors won't participate in the battle, Yang Grade is publicly acknowledged as the lowest standard. Normally, one won't even think about dominating a ring unless one is at the peak of Yang Grade Rank Five.

'Having said that, a Yin Grade martial artist defied the universal opinion today by going up to a ring, and he instantly defeated three of his peers in the strangest ways.

'This is definitely a first.'

Zuoqiu Hongyuan's expression changed a little as he thought, 'If I'm not dominating a ring too, perhaps I'll also challenge him regardless of my status.'

※※※※

'That's the spirit of a man!' Wu Hanning's eyes lit up, and she nodded when she heard Ou Yangming shout, but she quickly thought, 'Why does it matter if that liar has the spirit of a man or not?'

Her face was covered, but she was blushing.

Normally, Wu Hanning would never be distracted because of her mighty mental power. Nonetheless, while she met countless powerhouses ever since she was born, Ou Yangming was the only person who could contend with her in terms of mental power.

She had not fallen in love; she just felt like she found someone of her kind.

After all, it was difficult to find someone like that among a sea of people, hence she genuinely hoped Ou Yangming could amaze everyone with a brilliant feat, and she would treat him with different respect.

Nevertheless, Wu Hanning did not know she was already regarding Ou Yangming with special respect when she was having that thought.

※※※※

Bai Shixue stopped and sighed helplessly.

If she made it before Ou Yangming made the announcement, she could still turn the situation around. By using her identity as the Yi Pavilion's young pavilion master, Bai Shixue could persuade the young fellow to leave the ring and stopped him from doing anything irrational.

However, Ou Yangming's voice spread far and wide, by which everyone heard him, so Bai Shixue would be opposing him if she stopped him. Not only would the Yi Pavilion lose their reputation, but Ou Yangming would also be embarrassed for the rest of his life.

Bai Shixue took a deep breath to suppress her anger and frustration, then she turned around and ordered seriously, "Elder Hu, go back and bring all our Vigor Medicine here!"

"All of them?" One of the Yang Grade powerhouses behind her asked in shock.

The Vigor Medicine was not an ordinary vulnerary; it was a unique medicine. It was extremely tough to modulate the drug, so even the Yi Pavilion had a low inventory of it.

Usually, the medicine was considered a precious item used for saving lives, thus it could not be used without any control.

Therefore, the Yang Grade powerhouse was in disbelief when the young pavilion instructed him to fetch all of the Vigor Medicine that they had.

Bai Shixue explained slowly, "Since Master Ou wants to do what a man should do, we should do our best to help him."

She spoke softly, but her voice carried an irrefutable and substantial power.

The two Yang Grade powerhouses looked at each other and thought, 'What do you mean by what a man should do? Are we not men just because we're not dominating a ring each?'

Despite that, they felt a chill when they looked at the tall rings and the crowd. 'Forget it if we're not men. If we dare to dominate a ring now, we'll surely be dragged to our deaths by the crazy crowd.

'For the sake of our lives, we'll take the insult.'

Following that, one of the Yang Grade powerhouses left while the other powerhouse stayed to protect Bai Shixue as they carefully made their way to a ring.

Whether it was Wu Hanning or Zuoqiu Hongyuan, nobody paid attention to them.

Even though Zuoqiu Hongyuan was the first person who dominated a ring, he was no longer in the limelight.

It was truly dumbfounding that he dominated a ring on the first day of the Myriad Treasure Meet. In fact, many people spoke of and respected him.

That said, everything became insignificant after a Yin Grade powerhouse made the same declaration.

People started discussing the younger, daring, and overconfident Ou Yangming.

Many Yang Grade powerhouses furrowed their eyebrows. They wanted to beat up the young fellow, but they were mindful of their statuses as they did not want to be called bullies.

It would be natural for them to defeat Ou Yangming to teach him a lesson, but it would be a regret of a lifetime if they made a mistake.

At this point, more Yin Grade martial artists looked at each other as they were eager to try.

After taking out three Yin Grade martial artists without any effort, even the most ignorant person knew something was weird about Ou Yangming. Without enough confidence, nobody dared to challenge him anymore.

Even so, given that there were plenty of people in the square, it was inevitable for formidable and confident geniuses to be present.

They trusted themselves even more.

All of a sudden, a figure soared into the sky and jumped onto Ou Yangming's ring nimbly.

It was a young man, who was about 20 years old. He held a longsword and cupped his hands at Ou Yangming. "I'm Yan Junchi from Feiya County, and I'm specially here to learn from you!"

The fact that the man disclosed his background right away proved that he was sure of himself.

Ou Yangming nodded at the man. He could tell from the person's overflowing aura that he was a powerhouse at the peak of Yin Grade.

Despite that, due to his abilities, he no longer needed Yin Grade cultivators to delay the time.

"I'm Ou Yangming from Changlong County. Brother Yan, please go ahead."

Yan Junchi took a step back and expressed, "I'd like to have a taste of your skills with weapons, Brother Ou, and I hope you'll fulfill my wish."

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, and he could not help but laugh. On the other hand, many people below the ring were regretful but it was too late.

Yes. The three challengers earlier did not carry any weapons on them. Judging from the way Ou Yangming fought with bare hands, the other people thought, 'Is it because his peculiar trick can't be applied on a weapon?'

The more powerful a skill, the more it would be restricted by a corresponding limitation.

When the crowd looked at Ou Yangming, they became more certain that his odd trick could not be replicated on a weapon.

Ou Yangming glanced and turned around, then he casually picked up a military saber from the weapons rack at the corner of the ring. "Brother Yan, please."

Yan Junchi's face changed, and he asked, "Brother Ou, don't you have a personal weapon?"

'I do have one, and it's a magic tool! But it's not with me now," Ou Yangming wondered and laughed.

Yan Junchi scoffed and put aside his custom-made longsword. He made his way to the weapons rack and picked a treasure sword, which was for public use. "Brother Ou, I won't take advantage of you."

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and nodded without saying a word.

Far away, on two different platforms, Wu Hanning and Zuoqiu Hongyuan said to themselves, 'What a fool!'

"Brother Ou, please excuse me for the offense," Yan Junchi uttered. Subsequently, he flashed and employed a body technique to move around Ou Yangming.

The man had an incredibly fast body technique. Once he executed the technique smoothly, he shuttled on the ring like an agile black panther.

Below the ring, the well-informed people were astounded. Moreover, some Yang Grade powerhouses even nodded and thought, 'The young man's body technique is quite profound. Sure enough, he was taught by a famous person.'

Despite having performed the body technique well, Yan Junchi was careful each time he got close to Ou Yangming. Whenever Ou Yangming turned to look at him, he swiftly changed his direction like a startled swan. No matter what, he avoided going head-on against his opponent.

Yan Junchi was greatly pressured because he witnessed Ou Yangming's bizarre techniques earlier.

Ou Yangming had a faint smile on his face. As he kept an eye on Yan Junchi's body technique, he looked glad.

He had many martial arts experiences, but he had not learned many body techniques.

While he saw several body techniques from the Ni family's inheritance, Yan Junchi's profound body technique was one of a kind.

After a brief moment, Ou Yangming concluded that the body technique was truly a lost art, and it was not inferior to the Suicidal Throat-locking Spear.

However, due to Yan Junchi's inadequacy in terms of his cultivation base, he could not fully display the body technique's wonders.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming managed to perceive it by analogy and gained something from it.

He was unwilling to defeat an opponent like Yan Junchi in one move.

That being said, though Ou Yangming was willing to drag the fight, Yan Junchi was unwilling to do the same. The latter attacked from the former's blind spots' several times, but he failed to accomplish anything.

It was because Ou Yangming always turned around the instant he attacked, and he was frightened by the young fellow's hollow eyes, which resembled a starry sky.

Yan Junchi could not delay the fight without an end because the body technique was an unusually huge burden for him.

As Yan Junchi sensed his essential Qi slowly leaving his body, he roared and performed the body technique to the extreme, then he leaned forward and attacked.

A fierce sword-light accompanied the marvelous body technique, so much so that it covered almost half of the ring.

Ou Yangming sighed and thought, 'This fella couldn't wait any longer.'

He looked at Yan Junchi with reluctance, then he oppressed him with massive mental power.

Yan Junchi was highly spirited when he advanced, by which his energy, essence, and spirit rose to the peak.

It was then when an irresistible pressure dawned on him from above as though Mount Taishan fell on him.

Without any room to resist, Yan Junchi showed the whites of his eyes and staggered. On top of that, the man lost his target when he extended the longsword forward, then he thudded into the ground.
