Chapter 52: Anyway, Thanks First
“Today, we will determine the winner of this competition!”
“Who will be the leader among the young generation of cultivators?”
“Will it be He Youzhou from the Tianyan Sect? Or Haotian from the Taiyi Sect?”
“On one side is He Youzhou, who has relied on luck and cultivation to overcome obstacles all the way!”
“On the other side is Haotian, the new generation genius recognized by the entire Taiyi Sect!”
“This will undoubtedly be a fierce battle!”
The referee on the ring did not give much introduction because he knew that the backgrounds of these two cultivators had already been introduced.
Whether it is the audience or other contestants, they just want to see the start of this match as soon as possible – and so does he.
“The match officially begins!” As usual, the referee announced the start of the match and then retreated.
In fact, he didn’t need to retreat to a safe distance so urgently, because even if he announced the start of the match, He Youzhou and Haotian didn’t make a move.
Haotian stood on the stage, looking at He Youzhou indifferently.
Any cultivator with a bit of skill could clearly see the surging momentum of heaven and earth behind Haotian.
Moreover, the spiritual energy that Haotian was now emitting shocked everyone.
This powerful spiritual energy far exceeded what Haotian had displayed in any previous match.
This meant that Haotian had been holding back his strength all along, hiding his true abilities.
“This pure and surging spiritual energy!!” The referee’s voice trembled as he saw this, “This is definitely not something a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator should have!”
“Contestant He Youzhou, contestant He Youzhou seems to be scared stiff!?” He quickly said after noticing He Youzhou’s reaction.
He Youzhou still hunched his back as usual, his whole body full of flaws.
And when he saw the spiritual energy emitted by Haotian, he didn’t react at all.
No one would think that this was a display of calmness, they would only think that he was scared.
After all, a normal Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, upon seeing such powerful spiritual energy from an opponent, would at least put on a serious expression.
“Although I don’t know how you managed to defeat Yu Buxiu before.” Haotian stared at He Youzhou, “But your methods will have no effect on me.”
He Youzhou looked at Haotian inexplicably, put down his own sword, and picked up the official sword given to him.
He just felt that Haotian was a bit neurotic.
Ah, no, this was showing off! This was pure, high-level showing off! It was something he wanted to learn!
Thinking of this, He Youzhou’s expression began to change subtly—that was undisguised envy.
“I’ll let you make three moves.” Haotian said indifferently.
“?” A question mark first appeared above He Youzhou’s head.
“!” But soon, this question mark straightened into an exclamation mark.
He looked suddenly enlightened, understanding what this young man named Haotian was doing.
However, what made He Youzhou unhappy was that the target of the showing off was himself.
“Three moves!? Haotian actually said he would let He Youzhou make three moves!?” The referee exclaimed, “This is simply an insult, how will contestant He Youzhou respond?”
Although the referee thought that Haotian’s strength would crush He Youzhou, the act of “letting three moves” in a match was quite disrespectful.
But he was very curious about what He Youzhou would do, would he be ashamed and angry? Or would he do something else?
Not only the referee, but even the audience was looking forward to He Youzhou’s choice.
Fortunately, Zhishi was not present, otherwise, the entire competition venue would have been turned upside down by her.
“Really?” He Youzhou tried to ask.
“I mean what I say, I won’t fight back before your three moves.” Haotian said flatly.
Although his tone sounded normal, it gave people a feeling that he was indifferent to everything.
It seemed as if there was no one in the world of the same level of cultivation who was worthy of being his opponent.
Haotian seemed to want to prove his words were not empty, so he stuck his sword into the ground and stood there with his arms crossed.
“Well, you said it yourself.” He Youzhou nodded.

Although it felt bad to be shown off, he couldn’t refuse the championship that the other party was giving him.
Alright, since this strangely named young man said so, he would reluctantly let him show off.
He Youzhou straightened his back slightly, his posture changing a bit from when he was competing before.
If he was full of flaws before, now he was flawless.
Haotian noticed this subtle change, “So you were hiding your strength.”
“But it doesn’t matter, no matter how much strength you hide, it won’t help.” He shook his head.
He Youzhou was hiding his strength, but wasn’t he also hiding his own strength?
As a cultivator who forcibly kept himself at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was no exaggeration to say that he could fight a hundred of the same level.
“Show me all your tricks, just like when you ambushed Yu Buxiu.” Haotian said expressionlessly.
“Although I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He Youzhou walked towards Haotian with his iron sword, unhurriedly, “But anyway, thank you first.”
The referee saw He Youzhou move and shouted excitedly, “He Youzhou is moving, he’s walking towards Haotian!”
“What is he planning to do? Did he really accept Haotian’s proposal to let him have three moves?” the referee said.
This referee was actually right, He Youzhou accepted the proposal.
There are many moves in swordsmanship, and making a move doesn’t necessarily mean a slash, it can also be a thrust.
The iron sword in his hand lightly lifted from bottom to top, the movement so casual that it made people doubt whether it was a feint.
But Haotian knew it was not a feint, and he realized he had misunderstood something.
The one who should be given three moves might be himself, not He Youzhou.
“Crack—” A crisp sound rang out, the protective armor inside Haotian’s clothes shattered, and the spiritual energy shield was easily broken into pieces by a single sword.
The next second, Haotian’s whole body flew out, thrown out of the ring, spitting blood all the way.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, leaving the spectators of the match bewildered.
An exciting match? Where was the exciting match? This match was less exciting than the elimination rounds!
If this match required tickets, probably all the spectators would be demanding refunds.
“He Youzhou… He Youzhou has knocked Haotian out of the ring with a single sword! This is a victory by the rules!” The referee, coming back to his senses, explained in a flustered manner.
“Haotian must have been careless, not expecting the opponent to win in this way!”
“What a pity! What a great pity!”
“The winner of the rookie competition is… He Youzhou of Tianyan Sect!”
