Chapter 437: Defeating The Opponent With One Punch

“Chu Chuan is going to lose, but he’s quite formidable. It’s just that he seems a bit impulsive,” said Bai Qiong beside Fang Jin.

Jiang Hao heard this but didn’t think it was untrue.

Chu Chuan had to accept defeat with dignity if he wanted to become stronger. Only setbacks could teach him how to become a stronger individual.

In the brutal world of cultivation, it was the best way for him to become stronger. As long as he didn’t stray from the path, he would definitely shine in the future.

In the arena, Tao Yun felt a bit uneasy.

“Are you crazy?” She struck with her palm and injured Chu Chuan. She hoped it would make him lose before any more damage.

Continuing the fight like this wouldn’t be good.

However, Chu Chuan stood up once again from the ground.

His lifeblood continued to burn. He attacked once more.

Tao Yun tiptoed lightly and then kicked.

With a loud thud, Chu Chuan fell to the ground again.

Tao Yun thought he wouldn’t be able to get up this time.

However, Chu Chuan stood up again. Once again, he started his assault.

Tao Yun was uncertain and finally decided to fight alongside Chu Chuan.

Their fists and feet clashed. They seemed evenly matched.

Then, she found an opening. She struck Chu Chuan with her palm, but she was hit in the shoulder. It made her take a few steps back.

‘Would this be enough?’ Tao Yun thought.

Even though he had already suffered many injuries, Chu Chuan still stood up.

Tao Yun frowned and attacked again.

Chu Chuan fell to the ground yet again.

This time, some bones in his body were broken from the impact.

‘Surely, he can’t get up now…’ Tao Yun thought.

However, Chu Chuan struggled to get up. He looked at Tao Yun with an indomitable spirit.

Then, he roared in anger, and his strength began to surge.

He had made a slight advancement in his cultivation.

Using this momentum, he launched another attack.

However, Tao Yun’s attack severely injured Chu Chuan, and he fell to the ground once again.

“This time I didn’t hold back. You… surprised me,” Tao Yun said.

If he had the same time and resources as her, he would have defeated her.

Chu Chuan looked at Tao Yun from the ground. His eyes burned with shame.

He was still too weak.

He felt like a mad, powerless beast going on a rampage.

The gap in strength was too wide. Senior Brother Jiang had told him as much, but he wasn’t willing to believe it.

“Well done,” said the spirit beast as it landed beside Chu Chuan with Xiao Li. “A friend once told me that all difficulties you face in life are there to help you hone your skills to reach your potential. You should thank them for being the stepping stones to your success. I make friends with sincerity. But these little children don’t show me any respect at all, even when they know you’re my friend. Xiao Li, let’s teach them a lesson.”

Xiao Li looked at Tao Yun and her group. “You all should fight me together. Only we can beat up our junior brother. No one else is allowed to do that.”

Chu Chuan looked at the spirit beast with excitement. He was grateful that Xiao Li had said those words.

Jiang Hao watched from a distance. He felt helpless.

‘Who taught Xiao Li to be so brazen?’

“The people from the Heavenly Note Sect are really arrogant,” Yu Sha said as he arrived at the arena. “I’ll take you on alone. If you can defeat me, you win. I’ll even give you all the spirit stones I have. If you lose, I won’t take your spirit stones, but the next time you see me, you better lower your head and bow. Also, I’ll be suppressing my cultivation to match yours. If you’re unwilling, just take back your words. There’s no shame in acknowledging your weakness. Do you still take pride in the fact that you achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm at a young age? Are you still proud?”

Xiao Li puffed up her cheeks. “Who’s talking big now? If you keep provoking me, I’ll get angry and hit you.”

“Then you better give it your all. I’m not Tao Yun. I won’t hold back. I’ll make you see how big the gap between us is with just one strike.” Yu Sha sneered.

The spirit beast and Chu Chuan stepped back.

Tao Yun also stepped back.

In the arena, only Xiao Li and Yu Sha remained.

Fang Jin looked at Xiao Li and frowned. “How… who’s that little girl?” “She’s a bit strange,” Han Xiao said.

But he was more concerned about Chu Chuan. His recent burst of power had caught his attention.

It seemed like he had really missed a promising talent.

But there were so many talents out there and missing one shouldn’t matter much.

It was just that he had misjudged this particular child. It bothered him.

Maybe his surge in power was just for a fleeting moment. He might not amount to much in the future.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise rang out.

Bai Qiong exclaimed, “How is this possible?!”

Han Xiao was puzzled and looked over in astonishment.

What he saw left him shocked. Yu Sha lay on the ground. His teeth had been knocked out.

He couldn’t even get up.

The girl who had struck him seemed a bit flustered.

“I… I didn’t know he was so fragile.” Xiao Li turned to the spirit beast for help.

She was anxious.

Fighting outside with such abandon would get them in trouble.

Her mother had scolded her before. She knew Senior Brother Jiang would scold her this time.

Tao Yun and the others were stunned. They wondered if Yu Sha had let his guard down, after all.

Yu Sha, on the other hand, was astonished. He didn’t even know what had happened.

‘This is the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?’

It was impossible! That punch had beat someone in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But there was no change in the formation. It meant that the attack was truly of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Yu Sha lowered his head in shame. He didn’t even want to get up from the ground.

Jiang Hao watched Yu Sha and shook his head. In truth, Xiao Li had not fought fairly.

But there was no fairness in the world.

However, when he saw Xiao Li receiving many spirit stones, he was stunned.

That child had kept his word and handed over all the spirit stones he had.

‘So, you can earn spirit stones like this?’ Jiang Hao was somewhat tempted, but he held a senior’s status here.

If he were to engage in combat with the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, he would undoubtedly be mocked.

It was better to keep a low profile.

At night, Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye followed Chi Tian.

They wanted to see if they could find more people from The End of All Things.

But the more they followed, the more familiar Jiang Hao felt with his surroundings.

They had followed him to the area where the team from the Heavenly Note Sect was staying.

“What does he want to do here?” Jiang Hao was puzzled until he saw the other person entering Chu Chuan’s room. Then, he understood.

“It seems that The End of All Things has targeted your junior brother,” Hong Yuye said with a soft laugh.

Jiang Hao hadn’t expected The End of All Things to come looking for Chu Chuan. He had expected them to find Lin Zhi instead.

However, in the Bright Moon Sect, Chu Chuan’s status was somewhat infamous. Besides, he had been pinned down today, so it was indeed worth trying to win him over.

The question was how he intended to win him over.

A moment later, Hong Yuye and Jiang Hao silently entered Chu Chuan’s room too.

Chi Tian was dressed in a black robe, and his face was not properly visible.

When he entered, the formation began to cover the room. It was apparently done to prevent any accidents.

“Who are you?” Chu Chuan, who was sitting at the table, looked toward the door.

Chi Tian stood there and gazed at Chu Chuan, but he didn’t speak.

Chu Chuan struggled to get up, but he remained alert. He seemed ready to flee at any moment.

“Don’t worry. I am not your enemy,” Chi Tian said.

“Not my enemy?” Chu Chuan stared at the person who had suddenly appeared..

“Then, are you a friend?”
