  While doing so, he blatantly stared at Fang Qing'er, as if his gaze was going to penetrate her clothes and see everything underneath. Fang Qing'er had always been a rather headstrong person, but Xiang Shaoyun's gaze still made her feel unwell as if bugs were crawling all over her body. She glared at Xiang Shaoyun, her eyes filled with a sharp glint as she tried to force Xiang Shaoyun to remove his gaze. But it was completely useless.

  "Girl, not bad. Hey, do you want to be my maidservant?" Xiang Shaoyun continued his provocations. His words were driving the Gateflag Academy youths nuts.

  "Bastard, do you think nobody in the Gateflag Academy can do anything to you?"

  "Don't stop me! I'll go kill him right this moment!"

  "He is courting death. Does he think he is a match for Senior Sister Fang? Hah, he thinks too highly of himself."

  "Calm down, he's just trying to provoke us. Don't fall for it. Maybe he has some unknown trump cards."

  "Trump card my ass. I'll kill him right where he stands!"

  Finally, a young man from Gateflag Academy could no longer hold in his anger, and he rushed out to meet Xiang Shaoyun. He was an eighth-stage Astral Realm cultivator. That was why Luo Lin didn't bother to stop him. He wanted to see clearly if this kid was only pretending to be weak.

  This newcomer was far stronger than La Liufeng. And he also wasn't as hot-headed. He planned to first land on the other plank before starting his attack. Xiang Shaoyun seemed to know what he was trying to do. Thus, he kicked the water, causing the opposite plank to shift its position.

  That messed with the newcomer's preplanned landing position, causing his face to fall. But he was still a decently capable person. He slashed the water with his sword and borrowed the impact to do a somersault in the air before landing on the plank.

  This time, it was the Gateflag Academy people's turn to shout. "Well done!"

  Right this moment, Xiang Shaoyun glided across the water on his plank as if it was a surfboard.

  "Watch out!" the Gateflag Academy people shouted.

  Alas, it was too late. Xiang Shaoyun was too fast, and he arrived almost as soon as his opponent landed on the plank. His palm shot out toward his opponent.

  Cloud Splitting Palm!

  Bang!

  His opponent wasn't given any chance to react. He was immediately struck and was sent flying into the river. By this point, all the Gateflag Academy people had unsightly expressions. Some of them were even shouting, "Shameless! That is no fight, that is a sneak attack!"

  Although the Martial Hall Palace also felt that Xiang Shaoyun was too shameless, they still felt very good seeing the Gateflag Academy suffering defeat. He had completely vented their anger.

  "Lin Yuan, go. Do not make any mistakes," Luo Lin said.

  A youngster standing not far behind him stepped forth and said, "Be at ease, vice principal. I will treat him well."

  He then jumped off the ship. Midair, he drew his massive saber and swung it toward Xiang Shaoyun.

  "Die!" Lin Yuan's way of dealing with Xiang Shaoyun was to either not attack at all or attack with everything he had. He would not repeat the mistakes his two fellow apprentices had done earlier by underestimating their opponent.

  Chapter 115: The Boss Is Undefeated

  Lin Yuan's heavy attack was suffused with a large amount of astral energy that flooded the space above Xiang Shaoyun with green radiance, not giving Xiang Shaoyun any chance of surviving the attack. Everyone was curious if Xiang Shaoyun could survive such an attack that was crushing down on him like a mountain.

  The Martial Hall Palace disciples grew anxious when they saw the attack. They stared at the ongoing battle with their eyes wide, praying that Xiang Shaoyun would survive. Facing the incoming saber, Xiang Shaoyun's eyes turned sharp as well. He shouted and drew his Golden Wolf Sword before meeting the saber with his sword.

  Cling! Clank!

  A series of sparks were created in the air, and the impact created numerous ripples on the river’s surface. After his attack was blocked, Lin Yuan did not continue attacking. Rather, he did a somersault midair and landed on the other plank. Upon landing on the plank, he controlled the plank and glided across the water toward Xiang Shaoyun.

  Sky Blinding Woods!

  Lin Yuan was indeed worthy of being one of the top three young geniuses of the Gateflag Academy. The moment he attacked, he unleashed an earth-shattering might. He swung his saber, sending out a boundless saber energy that proceeded to form an entire forest large enough to block out the sunlight, not allowing even a ray of sunlight to pass.

  From this, it was clear he possessed enough strength to face any peak Astral Realm cultivator. Those with cultivation levels lower than Lin Yuan’s would not dare to easily take on this attack of his.

  On the ship, Luo Lin nodded. He could almost see Xiang Shaoyun's defeat already. As for the Martial Hall Palace people, they all stared at the ongoing battle nervously, not willing to miss any detail of it.

  However, what they saw wasn't as exciting as they had expected. Facing the attack, Xiang Shaoyun's eyes grew in power as two lightning currents shot out of them. The trajectory of Lin Yuan's attack was bared before his eyes. Also shown to his eyes were the tiny openings in the attack.

  "Break!" Xiang Shaoyun crouched slightly before thrusting his sword forward.

  The sword was launched from an extremely tricky angle that made it hard for others to even see where the attack had come from.

  Clang!

  The stab wasn't aimed at Lin Yuan's vitals. Rather, it was aimed at the incoming saber and shifted its trajectory, causing the attack to instead strike the river.

  Bang!

  The attack created a spectacular wave of over 10 meters long that crushed forward. After the stab, Xiang Shaoyun followed up with a kick.

  Gale Winds Kick!

  This was a first-grade battle technique, but when used by Xiang Shaoyun, the attack moved at lightning speed and struck Lin Yuan before he could even react. Lin Yuan was strong but not strong enough for Xiang Shaoyun. Like the two before him, he fell into the river.

  "No! That is not possible!" Luo Lin cried out in shock.

  "Well done! Well done!" Tan Guanghua and Jie Shi shouted at the same time.

  They were aware that Xiang Shaoyun was an extraordinary person who even managed to obtain Elder Zhen Peng as his follower. But they had never expected that Xiang Shaoyun had actually been hiding so much strength. If they had sent him out in the start, things wouldn't have gotten so bad for them. Fortunately, it seemed like there was a chance to reverse their defeat after all.

  "My boss is amazing! My boss is undefeated!" Xia Liuhui started cheering in excitement, as if Xiang Shaoyun's victory was his own victory.

  "Shaoyun is great!" Lu Xiaoqing said, her eyes filled with emotions. At the same time, the bitterness in her heart deepened. What she saw only proved that the gap between her and Xiang Shaoyun had only grown. What should she do?

  Even Gong Qinyin was looking at Xiang Shaoyjn in a different light as she thought, Is master correct that my talent is incomparable to his?

  Once again, Xiang Shaoyun fixed his gaze on Fang Qing'er with a perverse light in his eyes. "Girl, come on down here. They are too useless. It doesn't matter how many of them come, the result will be the same."

  "I, Liao Hao, shall be your opponent!" offered the youth who had defeated Lu Yanchao earlier before Fang Qing'er could give a reply.

  "Senior Brother Liao, let me help you!" offered a different youth. Apart from the two, a third person also stepped forward and joined in without saying anything.

  "Hey, this is too shameless, Gateflag Academy," the youths of Martial Hall Palace started complaining resentfully.

  "He was the one who told us to send everyone we want," Luo Lin replied.

  Tan Guanghua and Jie Shi both remained silent. They focused on Xiang Shaoyun, trying to ascertain if he had any way out of this. This time, he would have to face three opponents at once. On top of that, he had to battle
on water. That would not be easy at all.

  "Oh? Finally, more of you are willing to come. Alright, time for you guys to piss off as well," Xiang Shaoyun roared; a trace of solemness covered his face, and his voice rumbled on like a fearsome thunderclap. At the same time, the projections of a dragon and a tiger appeared midair.

  When his three opponents sensed his terrifying presence, they were immediately assailed by a stifling sensation stopping all the attacks they were just about to launch. Xiang Shaoyun took this chance and attacked, swinging his Golden Wolf Sword around and causing blood to spray everywhere.

  "Ahhhh!"

  Splash! Splash! Splash!

  Three miserable wails rang out in the air as the three fell into the river. Everyone sank into silence once again. Their eyes were wide open in shock, as if their eyeballs were going to pop out soon. Nobody had expected that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to so easily defeat the three opponents before sending them into the river.

  They felt like they were dreaming. More importantly, the presence Xiang Shaoyun emanated during that moment gave them an urge to kneel before him. That was something they found hard to believe.

  "Splendid!" Tan Guanghua called out gleefully.

  By his side, Jie Shi was filled with joy as well. Words could no longer portray his current joy. As for Ye Tianlong who had always disliked Xiang Shaoyun, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had just swallowed a fly.

  That damnable power of presence! Ye Tianlong cursed inwardly.

  Wu Mingyang from the Wu Clan also similarly hated Xiang Shaoyun. Even though Xiang Shaoyun was currently winning glory for the Martial Hall Palace, it only served to increase his desire to see Xiang Shaoyun dead.

  If I can't think of a way to kill him, in the future, the Wu Clan will suffer, Wu Mingyang thought gloomily.

  "Trash! You are all useless!" Luo Lin was fuming.

  He had never expected that this kid would be so powerful, capable of using the power of presence only those at the Transformation Realm and above could use. There was even a chance that this kid was in fact a Transformation Realm cultivator. He was confused as to why the Martial Hall Palace hadn’t sent this kid out in the first place. Was this some sort of trick? Were they planning to let their opponent taste joy before desperation?

  Chapter 116: I'll Blush

  Naturally, Tan Guanghua and Jie Shi were unaware of the conclusion Luo Lin had reached. In fact, they were currently filled with regret. An extraordinary youth like Xiang Shaoyun was right there, but they had sent three other disciples out only to be humiliated. Were they blind? If Xiang Shaoyun had not insisted on challenging the Gateflag Academy, this confrontation would have ended with their complete defeat. Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun was now standing there trampling his opponents, defeating several Gateflag Academy disciples in a row, and filling their hearts with satisfaction.

  "Girl, are you coming or not? Do you want me to go up there instead?" Xiang Shaoyun started heckling again.

  Fang Qing'er nodded before lightly stepping on the floor, gracefully fluttering off the ship and landing on the river. Instead of standing on a plank, she directly stood steadily on the water. This was also an ability only available to those at the Transformation Realm and above.

  Fang Qing'er was not even a regular first-stage Transformation Realm cultivator. She was already in the second stage. Xiang Shaoyun was able to see that much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to so easily defeat Mo Zhu and Chen Xin.

  "After comprehending the power of presence, it won't be hard for you to break through into the Transformation Realm in the future. Unfortunately, you are showing off too much. Do you want to join the Gateflag Academy? I will grant you a chance to be my follower," Fang Qing'er offered nonchalantly.

  Her charm was indeed enough to captivate numerous young men. But Xiang Shaoyun was no ordinary young man. He had a heart of steel, and he was also a person with a wide worldly experience. Fang Qing'er was not enough to captivate his mind.

  "Haha, I offered to make you my maidservant, and you offered to make me your follower. Why don’t we make a bet? If I lose, I will be your follower and will obey all your commands. If you lose, you shall be my maidservant. What do you think?" Xiang Shaoyun laughed heartily.

  Everyone was filled with doubt when they heard this, Is Xiang Shaoyun even stronger than Fang Qing'er?

  "Qing'er, ignore his provocation. He is only trying to disturb your mind. He won't be your match. Just get it over with," Luo Lin said. No matter how he looked at it, Xiang Shaoyun was a mere seventh-stage Astral Realm cultivator. He refused to believe Fang Qing'er would suffer defeat here.

  Fang Qing'er stared at Xiang Shaoyun and said solemnly, "If you lose, be my servant."

  Having said that, she dashed toward Xiang Shaoyun. Stepping on water, her lithe figure moved like a water fairy, and her palm shot out toward Xiang Shaoyun's chest with lightning speed. With her astonishingly fast attack, one ought to acknowledge that she was worthy of her identity as a Transformation Realm cultivator.

  Even though Xiang Shaoyun had stayed vigilant all the while, the attack still nearly hit him. He quickly slanted his body to the side to barely dodge the attack. Even so, the cloth on his chest was still ripped apart.

  "What an unruly girl. You're actually ripping my clothes off in public? I will let you know that I am not a loose person," Xiang Shaoyun replied seriously.

  At first, Fang Qing'er was unaffected by his words. Just as she was about to follow up with another attack, she heard his final sentence and was so infuriated she almost fell into the river from her anger.

  "If you insist, we can get a room. I will let you rip my clothes to your heart's content there. I'm too shy to do it in public like this. In fact, I'll blush!" Xiang Shaoyun said bashfully as he pulled some distance from her. This time, not only Fang Qing'er was infuriated, even the people on both ships were commenting on Xiang Shaoyun’s shamelessness.

  "I hope your actual strength is comparable to the prowess of your mouth," Fang Qing'er said as she stamped the water. She spun in midair and sent kick after kick toward Xiang Shaoyun. Her attacks crashed forward with an imposing momentum, creating numerous ripples in the water.

  Such continuous attacks weren't something ordinary Astral Realm cultivators should be able to stop. With Fang Qing'er attacking at full power, Xiang Shaoyun could no longer stay as calm. His eyes focused, and he steadied his footing before repeatedly punching the air before him.

  Bang! Bang!

  Punches and kicks met again and again, causing muffled sounds to ring out repeatedly as two different astral energies spread throughout the battlefield. The impact forced Xiang Shaoyun to step backward repeatedly; his figure swayed on the plank, as if he was going to fall into the river soon.

  "Time for your defeat!" Fang Qing'er bellowed and released her presence, which then pressed down upon Xiang Shaoyun. Even as she did so, she did not stop sending kick after kick.

  Attacking with physical attacks and presence at the same time was an ability unique to Transformation Realm cultivators. Facing a two pronged attack, Xiang Shaoyun still maintained his calm. After all, Fang Qing'er's presence was completely ineffective against him. He was only busy thinking of a proper way to completely overwhelm the girl.

  No matter how fast Fang Qing'er kicked, Xiang Shaoyun's fist would be there. Even facing the strength of a second-stage Transformation Realm cultivator head on, he still appeared relaxed. Everyone started to suspect that Xiang Shaoyun was already a Transformation Realm cultivator.

  "How is that possible? How is that possible? That kid is obviously only a seventh-stage Astral Realm cultivator. How can he block Qing'er's attack?" Luo Lin was incomparably shocked.

  On the other hand, Tan Guanghua and Jie Shi were already bursting with joy. Xiang Shaoyun was a super dark horse surpassing all expectations.

  After a series of failed attacks, Fang Qing'er finally retreated and pulled open a gap between her and Xiang Shaoyun. She stared at him with her unblinkin
g eyes, her heart no longer calm.

  "Keep it coming, girl. You are quite strong. In fact, I was nearly sent off the plank earlier," Xiang Shaoyun said. If he hadn't undergone the cleansing of lightning, granting him a valiant body, he would not have a combat prowess comparable to that of a Transformation Realm cultivator. That was his ultimate trump card, his true strength.

  "Your combat power is indeed surprising, but you are still not my opponent," Fang Qing'er praised before she unleashed her next round of attacks. This time, she did not fight Xiang Shaoyun in melee range. Rather, she palmed at the empty air repeatedly, creating numerous waves on the river. The waves then combined to form a massive tidal wave that roiled forth toward Xiang Shaoyun.

  The massive amount of water blocked Xiang Shaoyun's vision. At the same time, a massive power was hidden within the wave, making it an attack difficult for Xiang Shaoyun to block.

  Xiang Shaoyun controlled his plank and moved farther away before his palm shot out and dispersed the wave crashing down at him. The wave was completely dispersed, but Fang Qing'er was nowhere to be seen.

  "Time for you to lose!" Fang Qing'er had unknowingly appeared behind Xiang Shaoyun, her slender sword slashing down toward Xiang Shaoyun. It turned out the wave attack was merely a distraction. This was her actual attack.

  "Shit!" Xiang Shaoyun also understood he had been tricked.

  Chapter 117: Surrender, Girl

  If this was on land, Xiang Shaoyun would have many methods at his disposal to dodge the attack coming from behind him. But here on a floating plank, he was completely helpless. But that did not mean he would be defeated just like this. Just as Fang Qing'er's sword was about to strike him, lightning energy surged out of his body to form a lightning barrier that protected his entire body. He had actually given shape to his energy and formed a barrier!

  Clang!
