The people in the square were all shocked by their own guesses.

The person Venerable Fenglei found was actually just an ordinary person? Was this some kind of joke?

Wouldn't that confirm Venerable Fenglei's reputation as a traitor to the human race?

Lin Wuyan's expression also became strange. Since his debut, he had experienced tens of thousands of battles.

In those tens of thousands of battles, he had faced all kinds of terrifying opponents, with different moves and endless tricks.

But until now, he had never seen an opponent who couldn't even get on the stage.

The atmosphere at the scene fell into a strange awkwardness. Yin Ruida couldn't help but blush. Should he help him up?

Just as Yin Ruida was thinking this, Qiao Yu, who was standing under the arena, moved.

Qiao Yu first walked backward, away from the arena. Just when everyone thought he was going to give up, he suddenly turned around and started running!

"Holy crap! He looks like he's going for a running start!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Sure enough, after running for a while, Qiao Yu stepped hard on the ground. The hard bluestone bricks cracked and formed a deep pit, and then he leaped up like a roc, landing heavily on the arena.

Compared to Lin Wuyan's light and graceful entrance, Qiao Yu's way of getting on stage seemed extremely clumsy, and even created a large pit in the arena.

Lin Wuyan was silent.

His master, Superior Wuji, was silent.

The crowd in the square was also silent.

If they said this guy wasn't an ordinary person… he couldn't even fly up to a five-meter-high arena. If they said this guy was an ordinary person… what ordinary person could jump five meters high with a running start and crack the stone ground?

Qiao Yu's unconventional way of getting on stage left everyone speechless.

They were beginning to feel unsure about Qiao Yu's background. What was this guy's deal? Was he hiding his cultivation level, or what?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Qiao Yu's words made them collectively break down.

"Aren't you challenging me? Come on, hurry up and fight. I have things to do after this."

Big brother! Don't you have any self-awareness? Look at the way you got on stage, and then look at Lin Wuyan, graceful as a cloud veiling the moon, floating like swirling snow in the wind.

The contrast between the two of you is obvious, yet you still have the courage to actively provoke him?

The crowd's mood at the moment was like seeing a young man riding a shared bicycle cursing a Rolls-Royce driver as a deadbeat—incomprehensible.

They could only say that it was like a butcher knife stabbing an ass, a real eye-opener!

At this time, the nine geniuses on the high platform were also interested in this scene.

"Young Master Kongxu, Lin Wuyan lost to you in the last round of the selection. You know him well. Tell me, who do you think will win this match?" Qi Qin, the Eight岐 Sacred Body, asked with great interest, stroking his blue-stubbled chin, not minding the excitement.

"Cough! Cough, cough, cough!"

Young Master Kongxu, Luo Tianqing, dressed in white robes, white shoes, and a white hat, coughed weakly a few times and said softly.

"Lin Wuyan's Wuji Emperor Axe is strong but lacks flexibility, so I found an opportunity to defeat him. If he could learn from his master and castrate himself, achieving a balance of strength and gentleness, then I would definitely not be his opponent."

"Oh? You mean you're more optimistic about Lin Wuyan?" Qi Qin's eyes lit up.

"Of course. Lin Wuyan is only slightly weaker than anyone here. If he really castrated himself and achieved Great Wuji, who here would be confident enough to say they could definitely beat him? Cough, cough, cough!" Luo Tianqing raised a handkerchief to his mouth and coughed again.

"Giggle, Young Master Kidney Deficiency, just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't~"

The Enchanting Buddha Seal, Mei'er, giggled. Everyone present suddenly felt a burst of heat in their bodies, and their eyes became a little dazed.

Yin Mei'er was wearing a monk's robe, with a shaved head. Her fair skin radiated a pinkish glow, with a rosy face and a pair of standard almond eyes with a hint of mistiness, like a pool of spring water.

Her delicate eyebrows and small lips were pursed in a smile, and beneath the thin monk's robe were a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs, petite and exquisite.

The monk's robe on Yin Mei'er didn't give off any sense of Buddhist abstinence. On the contrary, it had a bit of charm, filled with a heart-stopping contrast of temptation.

"It's Kongxu! Not Kidney Deficiency! Also, don't release your charm on me!" A sword hummed from Young Master Kongxu's body. The sound was crisp and clear, and the heat in his body instantly disappeared, replaced by a sense of clarity.

Several people retreated, and a look of fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at Yin Mei'er. Yin Mei'er's charm could actually affect all of them at the same time?

"If you don't want me to, then I won't, why be so fierce? We're going to fight side by side next~"

Yin Mei'er's exquisite body leaned against Young Master Kongxu, but Young Master Kongxu was unmoved, looking straight ahead at the arena where Qiao Yu and Lin Wuyan were.

"Tch~ Boring man."

Yin Mei'er stretched lazily like a little fox, and then looked towards the arena as well.

In fact, she was also very curious, what courage did Qiao Yu, who had to take a running start to get on the stage, have to actively provoke Lin Wuyan?

Facing Qiao Yu's provocation, Lin Wuyan grinned.

"Good! Very good! Since I became famous, I haven't seen someone as arrogant as you in a long time! Qiao Yu, is it? You're qualified to have me remember your name!"

"But... it ends here! Defeating you will only take one axe!"

Lin Wuyan picked up the dark red giant axe, and his terrifying strength of the fifth level of the demigod realm was instantly revealed.

As a young generation, being able to reach the fifth level of the demigod realm was already a remarkable achievement.

"Wuji Emperor Axe, first stance, Severing Wave!"

Lin Wuyan spun around, and then the dark red axe in his hand swung out in a beautiful arc, slashing at Qiao Yu from left to right.

Qiao Yu just stood there, stunned, as if he had been frightened.

Lin Wuyan frowned. Something was wrong. It was a trap!

How could a normal person just stand there and let him chop? There must be something fishy!

Lin Wuyan suddenly retracted his strength, not daring to continue chopping with the axe. Then the axe shadow changed, and he turned into a stream of light, flashing around Qiao Yu.

This scene caused an uproar in the square.

"Heavens, Lin Wuyan is so fast! My eyes can only capture his afterimages!"

"How could Qiao Yu possibly react at such a speed? Look at him, he's completely still. He must be scared silly, right?"

"Nonsense, he had to take a running start just to get on the stage. How could he possibly keep up with Lin Wuyan's speed?"

In the arena, Lin Wuyan felt more and more that something was wrong, because no matter which angle he looked at it from, Qiao Yu was full of flaws.

It was as if he could kill Qiao Yu by attacking from any angle.

But precisely because of this, Lin Wuyan was even more afraid to attack. How could a normal person be full of flaws? This was clearly a trap to lure him in!

Lin Wuyan understood!

Although he looked down on Qiao Yu, that didn't mean he would underestimate his enemy. A lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, and even if his opponent was just an ordinary person, Lin Wuyan would still treat him with all his attention!

But no matter how he looked for an angle, Qiao Yu just stood there motionless, like a statue.

Using immobility to respond to all changes?

Lin Wuyan was awe-stricken!

At this moment, Lin Wuyan finally saw Qiao Yu move! Qiao Yu raised his hand!

"Hmph, finally can't help but make a move?" Lin Wuyan sneered inwardly, preparing to counter the move.

But then he saw Qiao Yu yawn!

Lin Wuyan was completely stunned! Then he heard Qiao Yu's impatient voice.

"I said, if you're going to fight, then hurry up and fight. What the hell are you doing, jumping around me like a flea?"

"An inciting tactic? What a low-level trick." Lin Wuyan sneered and instantly understood.

Want to use an inciting tactic to trick him? He wasn't stupid!

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes. Who was using an inciting tactic on you? If he hadn't lost his cultivation and couldn't fly, he would have killed you with one slash.

Qiao Yu lost his patience and took the initiative to walk towards Lin Wuyan.

Seeing this, Lin Wuyan revealed a cold smile. Moved? Moving meant it was your death!

"Wuji Emperor Axe, second stance, Splitting Mountain!"

Lin Wuyan jumped up and appeared above Qiao Yu's head, then slammed his axe down on Qiao Yu's head.

After observing for so long, he firmly believed that this was the best opportunity for this battle.

At such a close distance, he firmly believed that Qiao Yu couldn't possibly dodge this axe, and taking his axe head-on at close range was no different from courting death.

Not only did Lin Wuyan not intend to retract his strength, but he also suddenly accelerated, wanting to split Qiao Yu in half with this axe!

The crowd also stretched their necks, wanting to see how Qiao Yu would deal with this axe.

There was only a muffled bang!

Qiao Yu actually clapped his hands together, directly clamping Lin Wuyan's Wuji Emperor Axe between his hands.

Then there was a series of cracking sounds. Countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared on his Wuji Emperor Axe, and then it instantly shattered into pieces, leaving only a bare axe handle in his hand.

The crowd in the square instantly petrified.

They had heard of catching a blade with bare hands, but this was the first time they had seen someone catch a giant axe with bare hands and smash the axe with a slap. What kind of physical body was that? A transformed ancient beast?

Looking at the axe handle in his hand, a hint of confusion that shouldn't be there at his age appeared on Lin Wuyan's face.

"You're too slow in a fight. High-end combat often only requires the simplest attack methods. Watch carefully, I'll only teach you once."

Qiao Yu clenched his fist and then punched out, sending Lin Wuyan flying out with the axe handle.

Lin Wuyan's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, spraying blood wildly!
