I Break through Crazily

Fan Wei knew Fang Tian’s attack was far from simple. Rumor had it that Fang Tian was using a Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique, so Fan Wei couldn’t afford to be careless. With a quick hand sign, he unleashed his Fan Family’s strongest Martial Technique, the Four Harmonies Heaven-Destroying Palm.

The Four Harmonies Heaven-Destroying Palm was a Profound Tier Middle Grade Martial Technique.

When executed, it emitted a four-colored light and was accompanied by a powerful blast of air that surged toward the enemy. Its might was immense.

Although the Four Harmonies Heaven-Destroying Palm was only Profound Tier Middle Grade, a full tier lower than Fang Tian’s Martial Technique, its power was not to be underestimated.

Even Profound Tier Martial Techniques varied in quality. Although Fang Tian’s technique was of a higher level, its power wasn’t necessarily greater than Fan Wei’s. It all depended on the practitioner. Whoever had greater mastery, whoever could execute their technique to perfection, would be the one to unleash its true, ultimate power.

Therefore, who would win this clash was still anyone’s guess.

Whether the Profound Tier Middle Grade or the Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique was superior would come down to who performed better.

The spectators clenched their fists and held their breath, watching the match with rapt attention.

It was, without a doubt, a spectacular match.

Even though the two had only exchanged two moves so far, compared to a flurry of dazzling, flashy attacks, the audience preferred this kind of all-out clash that could decide the winner in a single blow.

After all, you could tell who was stronger at a single glance. They couldn’t understand those overly flashy fights anyway...

...

"Four Harmonies Heaven-Destroying Palm!"

Fan Wei roared, holding his palm upright with his index finger pressed to its center, and surged toward Fang Tian to meet him head-on.

At that same moment, Fang Tian’s kick came hurtling forward with ferocious speed.

The two closed the distance at incredible speed, about to create a violent explosion of energy.

BOOM!

An intense blast of energy erupted from Fan Wei’s palm. Red, yellow, blue, and green light flashed in succession, projecting an extraordinary momentum.

By contrast, Fang Tian’s kick remained as plain as ever, with no dazzling effects. It looked like nothing more than an ordinary kick.

Yet, it was these two visually disparate attacks that collided at that instant, erupting with a tremendous roar.

WHOOSH!

At the point of impact, intense currents of energy gushed outward as piercing, grating sounds echoed through the air. Both techniques were incredibly powerful. For a moment, neither gave way; their energies intertwined, fiercely struggling for dominance.

It felt like only a second, yet also like an eternity. Finally...

CRACK.

BOOM!

"Aaargh!"

The sound of a bone snapping rang out, followed by a bloodcurdling scream as a figure, covered in blood, was sent flying.

Judging by the sound, someone’s bone had been broken.

And that person was...

Fan Wei!

Fan Wei was sent flying more than ten meters, tumbling off the tournament stage. The webbing between his thumb and index finger was torn open, and his right fist was a mass of wounds. His entire right arm hung limp and slightly bent, as if it were boneless, while blood streamed down from it.

After landing offstage, Fan Wei cast one last, resentful glance back at the stage before losing consciousness.

In the end, Fang Tian’s strength was simply a cut above.

’No, it should be said the Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique was superior. After all, both fighters were at the level of a Three-star Battle Grandmaster.’

"Fang Tian wins!"

The referee came over to check Fan Wei’s injuries before announcing the result of the match.

An uproar erupted.

"No, impossible! I don’t believe it."

"Even Fan Wei lost... Who in our Fengyue City can possibly defeat that Fang Tian now?"

"Are the candidates from Wind Rain City really this strong? After beating Fan Wei, they’re probably going to be insufferable."

"It’s over, it’s over! Even Fan Wei lost. It looks like none of our Fengyue City candidates are a match for this Fang Tian. And I heard that Fang Tian is the weakest among the candidates they’ve sent out!"

"Has our Fengyue City fallen so low? We can’t even beat a single person from the neighboring Wind Rain City."

"SOB... I’m so heartbroken. Even though the match has nothing to do with me, I just wanted to see the Fengyue City candidates win just once."

"Me too. This is so frustrating. To be completely dominated with no way to fight back."

"SOB... If heaven gave me a chance to be reborn, I’d train hard in the martial arts from childhood and beat those people from Wind Rain City to a pulp."

"WAAAAH... It’s nothing, I’m just going to cry for a bit. If I don’t, I’ll feel awful keeping it all in."

"..."

The spectators stared at the result in shock. Their spirits plummeted as they were plunged into a sea of despair.

Men and women alike embraced each other, many breaking down in tears.

They were both angry and filled with a suffocating sense of helplessness.

Fengyue City, once their source of pride, had now brought them nothing but endless pain.

Lost.

Even the man once recognized as the number one of Fengyue City’s younger generation had lost.

Even their most hopeful Young Master Fan Wei had lost.

Had their Fengyue City really fallen this far?

So many had gone up one after another, yet they couldn’t even defeat the very first person their opponent sent out!

It was so infuriating, and so heartbreaking.

But they had nowhere to vent their feelings!

The candidates from Fengyue City, influenced by the crowd’s despair, lowered their once-proud heads, utterly dejected.

Their rivals had come to humiliate them on their own turf, and they were powerless to resist. What right did they have to hold their heads high?

How could they dare think themselves superior any longer?

The Fengyue City candidates were all filled with regret. ’If only we had trained a little harder,’ they thought. ’Things might have been different.’

’Then we would be strong enough to represent Fengyue City and teach those people from Wind Rain City a lesson.’

But alas, there was no cure for regret. They were simply not as skilled as their opponents, and that was the reality.

「On the high platform.」

The leaders of the various Noble Families had grim expressions, their faces as sour as could be. They all clenched their fists, wishing they could storm the stage themselves. But this was a competition for the younger generation. If men of their age were to get into a brawl with juniors, they would become the laughingstock of the entire city.

"So that’s Fengyue City’s number one talent? He doesn’t look like much to me."

"Heh, and here I thought Fengyue City might have some impressive figures. They can’t even beat a single one of us. What a bunch of trash."

"Keep barking, you dogs of Fengyue City! You were running your mouths so much earlier. What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?"

"I only ranked eighteenth in Wind Rain City’s qualifiers, but I bet I could go up there and crush these Fengyue City losers myself. We don’t even need Fang Tian for this."

"Truly pathetic..."

"To think that trash we could deal with using a single finger is even worthy of competing with us."

"..."

In stark contrast to the heartbroken people of Fengyue City, the candidates from Wind Rain City were arrogant and haughty, their faces alight with smug satisfaction.

Every one of them looked upon the people of Fengyue City with expressions of disdain, ridicule, and utter contempt.

The people of Fengyue City heard the taunts from the Wind Rain City candidates, but they were powerless to retort.

’If you can’t beat them, what is there to say?’

And so, in the face of the Wind Rain City candidates’ disdainful remarks, the people of Fengyue City could only respond with a heavy, defeated silence.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly plummeted, and a dead silence fell over the entire crowd.

If not for the sight of the packed crowd, one might have thought the venue was completely empty.
