#1223 - Chapter 1223 I Lost

Winter Elder couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped in to stop it.

“Fine, then let's see if this Ye Kong has the ability. When he suffers a crushing defeat, he'll be a laughingstock!” Spring Elder huffed and left.

Such a massive commotion rudely awakened Ye Kong from his cave. “What's going on? Are the five major sects attacking the Tai Chu Academy?”

Then, Ye Kong listened carefully for a moment and realized they were shouting his name.

I'm done for! Ye Kong quickly put on his clothes and walked outside. The scene before him made his jaw drop.

Banners with his name on them were spread across every corner of the Tai Chu Academy, creating a spectacle even grander than any previous competition! What couldn't be ignored was that today's opponents, the twelve elders, were standing on both sides of the platform, their noses practically crooked with anger.

Having lived for so many years, he had never seen such a display.

Seeing Ye Kong come out, a large group of enthusiastic spectators ran towards him, surrounding him completely. There were even reporters sent from the upper realm to interview him.

“Ye Kong, do you have absolute confidence in winning today's battle against the twelve elders?”

“I, I'll do my best.” Ye Kong was a little nervous and really wanted to escape this place of conflict immediately.

“As for taking the position of the 'Di' ranked elder, you must be certain of victory. Do you have anything to say to the twelve elders?”

“Elders, please have mercy.” After Ye Kong finished speaking, he desperately tried to break free from the crowd. After being jostled by someone, he fell to the ground. At that moment, Ye Kong suddenly got up, his body stiff at a thirty-degree angle, and then slowly stood up.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred. A girl was pushed over and fell. In a moment of urgency, Ye Kong immediately turned over and caught the girl with one hand, but he lost his balance and fell straight to the ground, landing face-first.

The girl was still in shock, but she was fine, lying on top of Ye Kong and not suffering any injuries.

This embarrassing appearance caused several elders on the platform to sneer.

This farce finally came to an end. Ye Kong patted off the dirt and walked towards the stage, limping slightly. He didn't know who had stepped on his foot when he fell earlier.

It wasn't a big deal; he estimated he would recover in two or three days.

However, in the eyes of others, Ye Kong's unique entrance was truly unbearable to watch.

Truly laughable!

“If Ye Kong, in such a disgraceful state, becomes an elder, it will be a laughingstock for the other sects!”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“Alright, stop talking.” Elder Xia interjected, “When the time comes, we'll see who loses and embarrasses themselves. There's no need to waste words here.”

First, there was a series of introductions of the twelve elders, which made the people from other sects marvel at the heroic deeds of these elders on the stage.

When it came to Ye Kong, there was only one sentence: “Ye Kong, a new disciple of the Tai Chu Academy.”

Ye Kong cupped his fist, “Please, Spring Elder, make your move first.”

Spring Elder didn't stand on ceremony and directly smashed a Heaven-Covering Palm towards Ye Kong.

Ye Kong immediately dodged, remembering the contents of the manual.

Spring Elder's spiritual power was deep and heavy. It was not advisable to resist head-on. Remember to try to avoid it as much as possible and attack his back, using agility to win.

Spring Elder reacted even faster. When Ye Kong dodged the first palm, the second and third palms followed one after another. Then, chaotic palms came out, and the sound of the wind whistled in front of him, the light of spiritual power dazzling.

When his vision was blocked, Ye Kong forcibly took a palm. The palm struck his true body, and Ye Kong couldn't support himself, taking a few steps back, covering his chest, and kneeling on one knee.

Spring Elder retracted his palm, gathering spiritual power in his palm, wanting to temper Ye Kong fiercely.

Ye Kong seized the opportunity, leaped up, jumped directly behind Spring Elder, and struck Spring Elder's back heavily with a palm.

This palm used 70% of Ye Kong's spiritual power, all concentrated in one palm, and even the surrounding air suddenly moved. As soon as the palm came out, Ye Kong also touched his wound and squatted half-down on the ground again.

The effect of this palm was surprisingly good. Spring Elder didn't expect it at all. He suffered a blow to his back, his spiritual power quickly convulsed in his body, his true energy overflowed chaotically, and he knelt to the ground unsteadily.

However, he was filled with anger and got up directly, joining his palms together and firing, pointing directly at Ye Kong.

Unexpectedly, when he urged all his spiritual power, he felt that his whole body's spiritual power was solidified and broken. The spiritual power in his palm was also exhausted and difficult to release, only splitting a little air out of thin air.

But it was difficult to resist the fact that he was unable to fight back.

Ye Kong covered his chest and stood still, smiling at Spring Elder, “Spring Elder, I accept your concession!”

Spring Elder was anxious, “Ye Kong, you, you…” but he was helpless and retreated with his hands behind his back.

Elder Xia then stepped onto the stage. Seeing Ye Kong's strange trick just now, he knew that there must be an expert behind him giving guidance, so he didn't say much and attacked directly.

Elder Xia was Spring Elder's fellow disciple, and the two had been different since they started cultivating, just like their personalities. Their techniques were also completely different.

For Spring Elder, Elder Wang suggested that he should be genuine and not take shortcuts.

Be meticulous, recognize strange tricks, and do your best to overcome them.

Elder Xia still made the first move, and Ye Kong broke through them one by one. In less than three moves, Ye Kong recognized Elder Xia's weakness and began to attack from the weak point.

Although he was Spring Elder's senior brother, his strength was less than a quarter of Spring Elder's. Ye Kong still exerted force on his fingertips, pouring out spiritual power and turning it into a sword, stabbing straight forward.

Elder Xia transformed a shield to resist.

Ye Kong continued to exert force. Gradually, Elder Xia's spiritual power was exhausted, the protective shield gradually disappeared, and Elder Xia retracted his hand to break the sword. The two spiritual powers collided in the air, becoming bigger and bigger, more and more eye-catching. Finally, with a bang, they exploded, knocking both of them back two steps.

Ye Kong quickly teleported, and a real sword was directly placed on Elder Xia's throat.

Elder Xia stood still and smiled, “I have been defeated.”
