A punch was all it took to defeat a Yin Grade Class Four martial artist in the ring.
It did not seem difficult because the Yang Grade powerhouses in the square were capable of doing the same.
However, what if it was not a Yang Grade powerhouse who did it, but a Yin Grade cultivator?
The fact that someone defeated his peer with one punch was truly shocking.
Nonetheless, the shock was only a beginning for the crowd.
Ou Yangming turned and smiled brightly as he said, "You're the second one."
The person Ou Yangming was looking at was a Yin Grade Class Five cultivator, who was around 30 years old. The man scoffed and shouted furiously, "You're very presumptuous!" Before his voice died away, he made a move first.
Ou Yangming's control of the Spiritual Fist was quite on point, by which he could release the spiritual pressure to a specific person.
Therefore, while the second challenger did not sense anything abnormal, he was not shaken up at all when he witnessed a Yin Grade Class Four martial artist being beaten off the ring without being able to resist. As such, when Ou Yangming stated that the man would be the second person to be defeated, the man promptly decided to make the first move so that he would not be taken out so easily.
Ou Yangming curled his lips and fixed his gaze on the man. He instantly released enormous mental power, which turned into a huge pressure that was directed at his opponent.
The man who punched stared at Ou Yangming with his bright eyes, and he was feeling endless joy.
He could not end the fight quickly if Ou Yangming dodged him, but the young fellow stood still like a fool. Yes, Ou Yangming did not even change his posture to block the punch.
If the second challenger managed to punch the young fellow, he would certainly be victorious through one punch. He became fiercer when he thought about that, and his fist force grew more violent.
Nevertheless, it was then when his view turned black as a massive and irresistible fear occupied his heart.
Without any delay, the man's consciousness fell into absolute darkness.
His initially overbearing punch did not become soft and powerless, but it changed according to the situation and lagged.
Ou Yangming shifted his body sideways and evaded the punch effortlessly.
"Bam..."
On the other hand, the man fell hard to the ground and stopped moving.
The third challenger's eyeballs almost bulged as he stared at Ou Yangming dumbfoundedly and in fear. At this moment, the handsome teen looked as frightening as a devil to him.
Ou Yangming looked up and gathered his mighty spiritual pressure again to charge at the last challenger.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when the last man yelled, "Ah!" Next, the man turned around and jumped off the stage at the speed of light, then he pushed aside the people in the crowd and scurried away.
Ou Yangming shook his head. He thought the man was courageous for getting up to the stage at the first moment, but it turned out that the man was so easily terrified. Ou Yangming had only released some spiritual pressure and did not even get to say a word, but the man had already vanished out of his sight.
The young fellow looked at the crowd.
Other than the clashes between Zuoqiu Hongyuan and his opponent, no other sound was heard.
The crowd looked at Ou Yangming differently. Not to mention Yin Grade martial artists, even the Yang Grade powerhouses became alert.
They were puzzled because the three Yin Grade martial artists seemed muddle-headed when they were defeated.
Forget about the first challenger who was taken out by one punch; the soft punch seemed as though it could not even kill an ant, but it was still a hit, after all.
It was from the second challenger onward that the situation on the ring became rather mysterious.
Ou Yangming shifted sideways to dodge the second man, who was a Yin Grade martial artist, but the man simply passed out after throwing a punch even though he made the first move.
Nobody saw how Ou Yangming attacked, hence the crowd even suspected if the second martial artist suddenly experienced a disease's attack, which was why he collapsed to the ground. Despite that, the situation for the third martial artist was the most exaggerated one.
Although Ou Yangming did not make a move against the second martial artist, he shifted his body to dodge the man's attack.
When he faced the third martial artist, he only lifted his head.
Yes. By lifting his head, the third Yin Grade martial artist somehow turned to escape as if he was possessed.
The entire process was odd and mysterious, and the crowd was horrified the more they thought about it.
If Ou Yangming had openly defeated the martial artists with punches and kicks, perhaps the crowd would admire him, but they did not have goosebumps at the moment.
Ou Yangming's path to his victory exceeded their expectations, and it was definitely challenging their withstandable limit. In the square, the imperial guard who went up to the ring earlier gasped and shrunk his neck. A fellow worker, who was next to him, suggested softly, "Captain, why don't you remove your military suit later during the duty rotation and go up there to teach him a lesson?"
The guard was infuriated. When he turned to look, he saw that it was a working partner with whom he was not acquainted.
He could already sense the strange looks on him without needing to turn around, but even if he had the guts to, he would not go up to the ring anymore.
Ou Yangming patted his sleeves and asked, "Where are the relatives and friends of this dear brother? Please help him off the ring."
Two middle-aged men below the ring hesitated before they jumped up to the ring to carry their unconscious partner. Throughout the process, they dared not look at ou Yangming at all. Following that, Ou Yangming looked around him and made an announcement. His voice spread far and echoed in the square...
"Young Lady- Oh no! Oh no!" A young maidservant hurried into a room and shouted anxiously.
Bai Shixue turned to look in shock. The maidservant was a trusted person who had been serving her for years, where they experienced many things and saw much of life together. Hence, Bai Shixue found it weird that the maidservant was being so short-tempered.
That said, she did not think that she trained the maidservant poorly. She figured that the little maidservant must have seen something out of the ordinary outside.
Despite that, everyone's outlook was different; what was considered a great event for the maidservant might be something insignificant for Bai Shixue.
Bai Shixue waved her hand gently and asked lazily, "Little girl, have you become flighty again?"
The little maidservant stopped and was reminded of the young lady's teachings, so she forced herself to calm down and said, "Young Lady, you ordered me to notify you right away if I have news about Master Ou."
"Oh, Master Ou Yangming?" Bai Shixue became slightly interested, thus she asked with a smile, "What happened to Master Ou?"
"Young Lady, I just received news that he smithed another piece of equipment!" The young maidservant immediately answered."He smithed another one?" Bai Shixue blinked her beautiful eyes. Her charming look caused the maidservant's heart to beat fast as well.
"Yes, Master Ou was extremely fast this time, and..." The maidservant replied to Bai Shixue after she curbed his thought, then she paused for a while and added softly, "According to my informant, he didn't complete the layering of five attributes!"
"What does that mean?" Bai Shixue kept a smile on her face and fully unleashed her potential as a good student. The young maidservant responded, "I don't know if my informant gave me the right information; he said Master Ou layered six attributes!"
"He layered six... Attributes?" Bai Shixue asked slowly, and she seemed to be in a daze.
It was the layering of six attributes, which was something that even Master Jin Shengjie could not guarantee that he would succeed.
Though there was only a layer's difference between five layers and six layers, the difficulties and success rates between them were Heaven and Earth apart.
Since the patron requested for the layering of five attributes, under normal circumstances, nobody would attempt another layering after five attributes were layered. However, Ou Yangming accomplished something unexpected again.
Bai Shixue gritted her teeth, and her eyes became brighter.
"Hehe, a piece of equipment layered with six attributes. Not bad. No wonder you panicked just now." She laughed out loud."Little girl, I'll forgive you this time, but don't make a fuss about nothing again."
"Young Lady, I wasn't panicking because of this." The maidservant shook her head and pouted her adorable lips."Master Ou's being unmindful of his duty!"
"What do you mean?" Bai Shixue was surprised. The little maidservant was displeased."I heard Duanmu Liang from the Journey Chamber of Commerce requested Master Ou to continue smithing other pieces of equipment, but Master Ou turned down the job."
Bai Shixue narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked curiously, "Why did he turn it down?"
"Because he wanted to dominate a ring!"
"Dominate a ring? Dominate... What did you say?" Bai Shixue finally widened her eyes."He's going to... Dominate a ring?"
"Yes!" The maidservant continued, "Being a Yin Grade martial artist, who's also an Advanced Blacksmith, instead of smithing pieces of equipment to earn Prestige Points for us, he wants to dominate a ring as Zuoqiu Hongyuan and Her Royal Highness did. Isn't he reversing the order... Hey? Young Lady, Young Lady..."
While the little maidservant spoke enthusiastically, her vision went blurry as the young lady disappeared. Upon noticing this, the maidservant screamed out loud.
Her young lady, who was the Yi Pavilion's young pavilion master, had flashed outside nimbly.
It was natural that the young pavilion master had to be guarded if she went out, so two Yang Grade powerhouses followed her calmly. With that, the three of them headed to the square at an average speed.
Bai Shixue's face darkened as she cursed, "That young fella doesn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!
'It's true that he was acknowledged by the great ancestor and became our pavilion's lead contestant, but... Do you know what ring domination is?
'One can earn substantial prestige through ring domination, but the risk that comes with it is incredibly high. 'You're courting death by dominating a ring 10 days in advance!
'I'm not too late—I hope I'm not too late... '
Even if the Yi Pavilion would lose some image, Bai Shixue was determined to persuade Ou Yangming.
Just as she hurried to the square as fast as she could, she heard a familiar voice.
"This ring is mine!"
