"Ah, just comparing who is more embarrassed isn't very meaningful. How about this: the loser kneels and calls the other 'Grandpa' three times?" Chai Shi raised the stakes, looking confident that he would win.
"Not really," Ye Tian shook his head.
"Haha, are you scared?" Chai Shi laughed loudly upon hearing this and began addressing the crowd around him, "Are you scared? Do you see this? Isn't this Ye Tian, who has been making waves recently? Isn't he a genius? How could he be scared? Could it be that he's just a name without substance?"
The onlookers began to chatter; at such a moment, even if they were sure to lose, they couldn't back down first. Ye Tian's situation was truly shocking.
Among the crowd was the middle-aged disciple from the Hidden Martial Pavilion whom Ye Tian had encountered before. This person had harbored resentment towards Ye Tian due to a minor conflict and now stepped forward, pointing at Ye Tian, and said with righteous indignation, "You have truly disappointed my expectations; I look down on you now."
Upon hearing this, another wave of discussions erupted, as everyone seemed to think he had once guided Ye Tian.
"Who is this person?"
"Li Dongsheng from Azure Cloud Pavilion; his strength seems to be at Second Stage Martial Unification."
"Oh... so it's him. I didn't expect him to have ever guided Ye Tian; I really couldn't tell."
"Hey, who can make sense of the matters between these people? They're all in the same boat anyway."
Some individuals with decent strength but no reputation began to sour grapes, trying their best to act superior.
"Everyone quiet down. What I mean is that calling 'Grandpa' three times is meaningless; if we're going to play, let's play for real," Ye Tian said with a cold smile as he looked at Chai Shi.
Chai Shi's heart stirred, and his brows furrowed slightly. He knew that Ye Tian was going against him, and today's incident was likely to escalate.
However, since he dared to provoke, he naturally wasn't afraid. With a chuckle, he said, "For real? Hehe, how big of a splash can you make?"
"Isn't it just three rounds? We play best two out of three. I'm not interested in calling you grandpa, so how about the loser leaves the Cloud Sea Sect?" Ye Tianfeng said lightly.
The crowd immediately stirred. The thought of leaving the Cloud Sea Sect was something no one dared to consider. Although they had little fame here, returning home as a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect would be like returning in glory, a matter of great pride.
To be fair, if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't dare to accept such a bet without absolute confidence.
At this moment, Chai Shi's eyes twitched. He didn't expect Ye Tian to play such a high-stakes game. Leaving the Cloud Sea Sect was no trivial matter.
If someone were truly expelled from the Cloud Sea Sect, it wouldn't just ruin their reputation; it could also obliterate their future prospects.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Ye Tian raised an eyebrow and asked.
"What am I afraid of? Let's do it!" Chai Shi wasn't actually afraid, but he was feeling a bit hesitant.
"By the way, before we start, I need to clarify one thing," Ye Tian said as he turned his gaze to the disciple in his thirties.
"May I ask your name? Where does your disappointment with me stem from?"
Li Dongsheng opened his mouth but couldn't find the words. Initially, he thought Ye Tian wouldn't dare to take on Chai Shi's bet, so he tried to undermine Ye Tian to elevate himself. However, he never expected that Ye Tian not only wouldn't back down but would raise the stakes even higher. This was truly a difficult situation.
"Uh... what I meant to say is that Brother Ye is a young talent, and I've always..." He intended to say "admired," but felt it inappropriate at the last moment and stumbled over his words.
"Alright, I understand what you mean. Don't worry; one day I'll make you look up to me. When that time comes, you can just mention that we are from the same sect," Ye Tian said with a smile that seemed sincere but was actually quite ruthless.
"Hahaha..." Laughter erupted from the onlookers, while Li Dongsheng gritted his teeth and shrank back into the crowd.
"You still have some nonsense to get through; can we start now?" Chai Shi asked.
"Of course, as long as you are ready," Ye Tian said calmly.
"Then let's go!"
Chai Shi and Ye Tian each stepped forward, a gust of wind swirling around their feet.
The onlookers quickly retreated a distance of ten feet to give the two some space. For them, that distance was sufficient; after all, they were all above the Martial Unity Definition and not worried about being affected. It was also a good opportunity to show off their own strength, as if a group of experts were watching a match between two young novices.
Ye Tian sneered but remained silent, locking his gaze onto a fellow in the crowd who was looking up at the sky.
This person must be watching with an attitude of superiority, thinking he was better than everyone else. He would surely be embarrassed later.
At the same time, Chai Shi also focused on that individual. Both he and Ye Tian were proud individuals, and their thoughts aligned at this moment.
"First strike, begin!"
A bystander called out the signal.
Whoosh!
The two moved simultaneously, their palm energy surging fiercely as they clashed against each other.
However, instead of exploding as everyone expected, the two waves of palm energy veered outward and directly struck a spectator who was looking up with an arrogant demeanor.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, the man was knocked back several feet. If he hadn't quickly adjusted his Vital Shield, he would have likely suffered broken ribs on the spot.
The scheme succeeded, and Ye Tian and Chai Shi truly entered the zone. In their minds, the previous strike was of no consequence, as they both believed they could easily defeat each other in the upcoming duel.
Moreover, as proud representatives of the new generation, neither wanted their confrontation to become a spectacle for others to watch.
"This is a duel, not a circus. If you want to participate, you better adopt a serious attitude," Chai Shi said as he surveyed the crowd.
"Furthermore, this duel prohibits commentary. If anyone really can't hold back, feel free to join in—whether it's one person, ten, or everyone. I, Ye Tian, will accommodate!"
After both had expressed their intentions, they began to prepare for a genuine face-off against each other. The onlookers fell silent, none daring to speak up. It wasn't that they lacked strength; rather, they simply didn't have the courage for such a high-stakes gamble.
Often, a person isn't lacking in ability but rather in resolve.
Perhaps among the dozen or so people present, there were those with greater achievements and reputations than Ye Tian and Chai Shi.
Of course, this was merely a possibility. Those who are pitiful must have their reasons; despite being Martial Unity Experts and some having mastered Profound-Grade Martial Arts, they remained trapped in the fate of ordinary disciples for decades.
This was the result of their unwillingness to strive for more.
"You call the start," Ye Tian casually pointed at someone. The person was momentarily stunned by Ye Tian's aura before shouting, "Second strike, begin!"
Boom!
This time, neither Ye Tian nor Chai Shi activated their energy but instead clashed their palms directly.
The sound echoed like thunder as a massive shockwave surged outward. At the point of contact between their palms, golden light flickered continuously, overpowering the conical energy that Chai Shi had transmitted from his arm to his palm.
Zzzz!
The arena was silent, and one could even hear the tearing sound produced by the clash of two air currents.
Bang!
With another loud noise, the two figures separated.
Ye Tian stepped back five paces, while Chai Shi did not move an inch!
"What... what is happening?"
"How is this possible? Ye Tian clearly had the upper hand!"
"It seems this kid Ye Tian has bitten off more than he can chew; he's going to face defeat today."
"Spiral Force is no joke; it specializes in breaking various defensive martial arts, not to mention a simple exchange of blows."
The crowd murmured among themselves, while Chai Shi sneered continuously.
Ye Tian frowned deeply; he had lost this round. Just now, he had used his spiritual energy combined with Martial Origin Power to execute Thunder Palm, but unexpectedly, it was easily countered by Chai Shi. Even now, his arm still felt a strange pain from an unusual force.
"How's that? Is Spiral Force still useful?" Chai Shi, having heard enough of the onlookers' admiration, began to mock Ye Tian.
"Heh heh, don't get too cocky just yet." Although Ye Tian had lost this round, he had grasped Chai Shi's strength and tactics. It must be said that Spiral Force was indeed extraordinary; its peculiar method of exerting force could easily break through any defensive martial arts of the same level.
However, defensive martial arts are only for defense and not for attack. If Spiral Force were to encounter a powerful and explosive martial art, the outcome might be quite different.
"You've won this time, but next round, you better give it your all." Ye Tian did not hide his actions as he rubbed his arm; the pain from the spiritual energy had completely vanished.
"Ha ha, do I really need to go all out against you?" Chai Shi was extremely pleased, but he did not underestimate his opponent. He thought to himself that he must exert all his strength this time.
"I must win and make him roll out of the Cloud Sea Sect!" Chai Shi secretly vowed that if he could succeed, his status in the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters' camp would definitely rise significantly. When the two of them came to power in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a ladder to ascend.
"Heh heh." Ye Tian sneered and didn't say much more, directly taking his stance.
"Come on!"
This time, before the audience could shout "start," Chai Shi had already launched his attack. He was too excited; just thinking about the tremendous change this victory would bring him made him want to laugh out loud.
"Ye Tian, you will lose to me!"
Whoosh!
A massive Spiral Force gathered between Chai Shi's arms and surged directly towards Ye Tian.
At that moment, Chai Shi believed victory was certain, but when he saw the cold smile at the corner of Ye Tian's mouth, an inexplicable sense of unease surged within him.
Bang!
A powerful force also erupted from Ye Tian's arms, but this energy roared like thunder from the heavens, resembling waves crashing in a vast ocean, overwhelming in momentum!
Seeing this, Chai Shi's expression instantly turned bleak. He knew that he was likely finished!
