However, what he did not expect was that with just a small turn from Ouyang Shaohua, this powerful counterattack struck him heavily. Now, he was the only one who understood that this force was definitely the one he had just unleashed. But how could it have hit him instead? This left him utterly perplexed.
After all, he was just a disciple of the Axe Mountain Empire from Holl City’s Mixed Residential Area, with very little experience. He had no knowledge of the Yuli Huanfu Technique. Even Ouyang Changhai had never seen such a remarkable skill!
Seeing that Ouyang Shaohua did not take action while the Azure Robed Practitioner kept retreating, Situ Lei Ting's face filled with anger. He shouted, "You foolish monkey, go up there! Miss Ouyang won’t eat you; what are you afraid of? Hurry up, we have other matters to attend to."
The Azure Robed Practitioner wore a face full of frustration, unable to express his grievances. He could only muster his strength once more to attack Ouyang Shaohua and then immediately jumped away from her.
His actions drew cheers from the crowd.
Such behavior left everyone confused, and they could only jeer at him.
At that moment, even Liang Yuhua couldn’t help but kick the Azure Robed Practitioner and said, "Damn it, you dead monkey! Can't you just fight properly? You’ve completely embarrassed our big brother."
Zhong Kai laughed heartily and said, "In that case, let my brother experience Miss Ouyang's extraordinary martial arts."
As he spoke, one of his sisters stepped forward and approached Ouyang Shaohua. She was robust in build and appeared strong, yet her face remained delicate and not unattractive.
She cupped her fist towards Ouyang Shaohua and said, "Miss Ouyang, my name is Naqu. I am a younger brother of Zhong. I have come to learn your skills."
Naqu? Could it be that the Dragon Python Celestial Domain really has someone with the surname Na? Do Na Dong and Na Xi know about this? Just as she was taken aback, Naqu had already launched an attack with a punch aimed at Ouyang Shaohua's chest.
Many male monks couldn't help but cheer loudly, their voices lewd and inappropriate.
Ouyang Shaohua also broke into a cold sweat. This Naqu really had no decorum; daring to strike at my chest would make her realize my strength.
Feeling angry, Ouyang Shaohua began to counterattack. However, she cleverly met Naqu's attack with her palm, channeling both the counterforce and the attacking force back at Naqu. As a result, under Ouyang Shaohua's palm strike, Naqu was sent flying five zhang away. Naqu quickly turned around and rushed back again, launching another full-force attack at Ouyang Shaohua. Ouyang Shaohua also exerted all her strength and met her palm strike once more. With this blow, she sent Naqu flying over ten zhang away while severely injuring her internal organs. Blood flowed from Naqu's facial features as Zhong Kai hurriedly escorted her away.
At this moment, everyone in the banquet hall looked at Ouyang Shaohua with curiosity because she rarely took action during battles; yet when she did strike, she severely injured her opponent, earning everyone's respect.
Ouyang Changhai secretly praised her; indeed, she was a daughter of the Ouyang Family. Her first move stunned many people and truly brought honor to the Old Man.
At this time, Ouyang Shaotian realized just how formidable Ouyang Shaohua was! He might not even be her match since he had personally fought against the Azure Robed Practitioner and only had a slight advantage. He could never manage to escape immediately after landing a hit like she did.
Ouyang Shaotian secretly developed feelings for Ouyang Shaohua, as they had not been blood relatives for several generations and were merely from the same sect, making marriage entirely possible.
He understood deeply that a woman like Ouyang Shaohua, who was beautiful, dignified, reserved, and possessed exceptional combat power, was extremely rare in the Ouyang Family—one in ten thousand. She was also unique in Holl City and certainly not common in the Axe Mountain Empire; he could not let this opportunity slip away.
However, Ouyang Shaohua's stunning performance had already attracted the attention of various factions. Among them, Zhao Juhao from Luling Pavilion and Axe Mountain Hall held Ouyang Shaohua in high regard. He had once come across a rare book that discussed identifying special physiques, and he immediately recognized that Ouyang Shaohua possessed the True Phoenix Physique, which promised a bright future. This discovery thrilled him; it was the first time in ten years since he obtained the book that he had encountered a Special Physique, leading him to secretly decide to win her over at any cost.
Zhong Kai and Situ Lei Ting had long planned to disrupt the event today and would not concede defeat just because Ouyang Shaohua had won two matches. However, their subordinates' continuous losses were indeed embarrassing for them.
Situ Lei Ting then called out loudly, "Miss Ouyang should take a break. We will now officially commence the competition among peak disciples of the Breaking Heaven Realm. Let us witness the prowess of the Ouyang Family's Ancestral Sacred Artifact."
In comparing gang strengths, the first consideration was the number of Xuantian Realm Cultivators and their combat power, followed by the number of Breaking Heaven Realm disciples and their combat power. In this comparison, particular emphasis was placed on the combat power of peak Breaking Heaven Realm disciples; one peak disciple could contend with several mid-tier or even high-quality disciples.
Ouyang Shaohua was merely at the initial stage of the Breaking Heaven Realm, which explained why Situ Lei Ting suggested she take a break—his formal challenge was about to begin.
In Situ Lei Ting's heart, he was also quite taken by Ouyang Shaohua's beauty and naturally harbored intentions towards her. However, he planned to act on those intentions only after thoroughly defeating the Ouyang Family.
On the surface, although there had been a significant increase in Senior Cultivators from the Ouyang Family recently, Situ Lei Ting and Zhong Kai's combined forces still outnumbered them. Thus, they decided to seize this opportunity to severely cripple the Ouyang Family; otherwise, once the family began to grow stronger again, they would lose their foothold and be left wandering.
Seeing Situ Lei Ting propose a duel among peak Breaking Heaven Realm disciples, Ouyang Changhai immediately agreed. The Ouyang Family would represent one side while Situ Lei Ting and Zhong Kai would represent the other side—an open challenge had begun.
Ouyang Feixue stayed by Ouyang Shaohua's side, introducing every disciple present in detail. Through these introductions from Ouyang Feixue, Ouyang Shaohua learned about the local powers and the main strengths of Situ Lei Ting and Zhong Kai's factions. She also realized that Ouyang Feixue was a fiercely combative woman who inherently desired to fight—a true warrior at heart.
Ouyang Shaohua thought to herself that this was another Jin Xi! Surely Ouyang Feixue would strive even harder to cultivate her combat power in the future. She also understood that Ouyang Feixue did not approve of her husband; she was merely a pawn in a family transaction. Her husband's family had significant trade dealings with the Ouyang Family, and since they needed something from them at that time, that man particularly liked Ouyang Feixue. Thus, Ouyang Changhai made a decisive move to marry off young Ouyang Feixue.
Fortunately, since their marriage, that man had followed Ouyang Feixue into life at the Ouyang Family and gradually accepted his identity as a disciple. However, his cultivation progress remained minimal, which frustrated Ouyang Feixue greatly.
Because of this situation, Ouyang Changhai felt indebted to Ouyang Feixue and treated her with great affection.
Now, having lost hope in her marriage, Ouyang Feixue was not satisfied with her current state; she was determined to strengthen herself. Seeing how capable Ouyang Shaohua was in battle made her want to get closer to her in hopes of learning something from her. This young girl was indeed quite perceptive.
The strength of Situ Lei Ting and Zhong Kai remained closely matched against the Ouyang Family during their confrontations; victories were hard-fought on both sides. This left both Situ Lei Ting and Zhong Kai feeling very frustrated.
Eventually, they entered into a confrontation among Xuantian Realm Cultivators. This would truly determine who was strongest among them.
Ouyang Shaohua truly understood the meaning behind the fist.
Even if you are hosting a banquet, as a guest, I can challenge you. Moreover, I can rightfully duel with you and even aim to put you under my foot.
While pondering this, Zhao Juhao approached Ouyang Shaohua and politely asked, "Miss Ouyang, I have something I would like you to help me appraise."
Ouyang Feixue found it very strange. Zhao Juhao was a representative disciple of Leap Ridge Pavilion Major Power from the Mixed Residential Area, and generally, he would not involve himself in local power struggles. But now he suddenly came to find Ouyang Shaohua. Could it be because of her beauty?
Ouyang Shaohua was already aware of Zhao Juhao's identity, so she stood up and smiled, saying, "Disciple Zhao, my skills are lacking, and my knowledge is limited; I fear I may not meet your expectations."
Zhao Juhao smiled slightly and said, "You are the only one who can help me." As he spoke, he took out a thick red wooden stick that was about two feet long but shimmered with Azure Light.
He handed the stick directly to Ouyang Shaohua. As soon as she grasped it, the stick began to heat up on its own. Ouyang Feixue, curious as well, took the stick from her sister's hands, astonished that it could generate heat by itself.
Zhao Juhao smiled without speaking and took the stick back. Others were unaware that this stick was a rare treasure! It was specifically designed to test different physical traits; the stick would exhibit varying temperatures based on who held it. Zhao Juhao wanted to confirm Ouyang Shaohua's physical constitution by having her hold the stick. After she did so and it heated up, Zhao Juhao became even more convinced of his thoughts.
He then began to speak to Ouyang Shaohua: "Miss Ouyang, we at Leap Ridge Pavilion have decided to hold a Mixed Residential Area Martial Arts Tournament in ten days. We are inviting all talented disciples to participate in the competition. The rewards are quite generous. Today, I would like to invite both Miss Ouyang to join the Tournament and cheer for it."
"Tournament?" This was the first time Ouyang Shaohua had heard of such an event, so she turned to ask Ouyang Feixue.
Ouyang Feixue immediately responded with excitement: "Thank you, Disciple Zhao! We will definitely attend." Then she explained to Ouyang Shaohua: "Leap Ridge Pavilion holds a Mixed Residential Area Martial Arts Tournament every five years for all disciples. The competition is divided by martial types, ranks, and realms. The first place receives rewards. Then there is a competition among the first-place winners vying for championships in the Minor Ancestor Realm, Great Dao Realm, Breaking Heaven Realm, and Mysterious Heaven Realm. Each champion receives substantial rewards. This is the biggest event in our Mixed Residential Area. I must perform well this time."
