The Way of The Dao

"This skill is called The Invincible Step!"

Feng Xuan glared disdainfully at Long Zhu, observing his futile attempts at resistance as he was trapped in his martial skill.

"First Step!"

Then, Feng Xuan moved his right foot forward, taking a step towards Long Zhu and causing great energies to burst throughout the arena!

Everyone witnessed that Feng Xuan seemed to grow another meter taller!

"Argh!" Long Zhu roared as he finally pulled out a sword and swung it around him, cutting through the layers of pressure hovering above him.

But it was useless; every time Long Zhu slashed with his sword, the pressure layers quickly gathered together and the pressure steadily increased.

"I told you, it's useless." Feng Xuan smiled arrogantly upon seeing Long Zhu's resistance.

"Second Step!"

Feng Xuan took another step forward with his left foot, when this time, he grew three more meters tall, with his body becoming large as a horrible pressure locked Long Zhu in!

Long Zhu could not resist and spat out a mouthful of blood!

His legs shook and he was unable to stand, falling to his knees. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as he glared fiercely at Feng Xuan, feeling helpless.

"Patriarch Feng's son has really reached this height." The city lord commented as he felt Feng Xuan's power. He was sure that he could not come out unscathed from this terrible ability!

"That's my son!" Feng Rao looked proudly at Feng Xuan as he threw proud and arrogant expressions at the other leading families.

"Zhu'er!" Long Yin looked worriedly at his son being brought to his knees and unable to get up.

"Don't become arrogant!" Long Zhu barked fiercely as he slowly stood up and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.

"Hasn't it become clear to you that you are weak."

But Feng Xuan simply snorted coldly and took a third step more, this time completely tripling the pressure on the arena.

"Third Step!"

Feng Xuan turned into a giant of just over 10 meters, covering the entire arena as his foot seemed to completely crush Long Zhu!

"Cough!" Long Zhu couldn't help but fall completely as he spat out more blood. His sword fell from his hand and he couldn't help but be defeated.

* Fwoosh! *

The energy disappeared the next second and everyone could see Long Zhu lying on the ground and Feng Xuan in his normal body; but everyone could see that he had exactly advanced only three steps from his previous position!

"The winner of this match is Feng Xuan!"

The referee did not hesitate to announce the obvious winner, breaking the silence in the audience from the commotion of the battle.

"Great!"

"This was amazing!"

"Young Master Feng is truly a powerful genius!"

"Young master Feng, marry me!"

"A young genius at the Golden Core Stage! How amazing!"

The servants of the Long family quickly went to help Long Zhu who at any moment might lose consciousness. The patriarch, Long Yin, looked at Feng Xuan with a dark expression, as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze.

"It seems that the young man of the Feng family has become quite the expert."

The city lord's voice was soon heard, attracting the attention of the audience.

"Although I wanted to keep it a secret, it seems that several people already know about it." The city lord stood up and gently expelled his aura, "I too have broken through to the Golden Core Stage and have drastically increased my strength. Therefore, this city will now have two experts in this realm!"

People once again were surprised to notice that the city lord's aura is as powerful as Feng Xuan's!

"The city lord also broke through?"

"We really have two experts in the city!"

"That's amazing!"

The crowd again burst out in excitement. This day has been full of surprises!

"Congratulations to the city lord for breaking through. The Hua family hopes that you can keep moving forward."

The patriarch of the Hua family stood up and put his fists together as a sign of respect to the city lord.

Likewise, the other patriarchs of the great families stood up and put their fists together, expressing their good wishes.

However, only the patriarch of the Simu family had a somber expression and slightly clenched his fists together but said nothing. His gaze seemed to almost always look at the area where the Feng family was, as if he was looking for someone in particular.

"Well! After this amazing battle between the amazing genius of the Feng family and the brave descendant of the Long family, we will next give the next fight!"

The referee quickly announced in a loud voice and said, "The next battle will be between Li Fengyuan and Feng Xuan!"

The crowd went wild once again, wanting to see big exciting battles.

"However." But the referee suddenly interrupted and added, "Since young genius Feng Xuan just fought, he might need a little rest to recover his energy."

"That's not necessary!"

At once, a voice interrupted the referee's words. Everyone looked at Feng Xuan, who had waved his hand still above the arena and smiled confidently.

"I really didn't use much energy, so it's okay for me to face my dear fiancée so she can see that I'm a generous man and give her a better chance of winning."

Feng Xuan spoke with an elegant smile as he turned to look at Li Fengyuan, showing off his charms and a modest expression, charming the hearts of the young maidens and young women.

"Still the daughter of the Li family would dare to fight?"

"We are talking about the beautiful young woman number one in the city! So beautiful and also with amazing cultivation, having an assured future!"

"Who doesn't know that the Li family's young miss doesn't want to marry young master Feng? That's why she is daring to fight to win the first place and annul her engagement!"

"But they make a good couple at first sight. So handsome he and she so beautiful."

"If it weren't for her insistence on refusing their engagement, they would be the perfect couple!"

Li Fengyuan observed Feng Xuan's brimming arrogant expression, as if indicating with his gaze that it was useless for her to fight.

"Yuan'er, it's useless for you to go up and fight, the difference in power is huge and you won't be able to win. Young master Feng is a great genius at his young age and is an excellent match for you. You should be happy to be paired with him. There is no other young man better than him."

The Li family patriarch spoke! He let out a sigh and looked with slight disappointment and weariness at Li Fengyuan, he wanted Li Fengyuan to accept fate and understand that this was the best choice for her and of course for the entire Li family.

However, Li Fengyuan ignored what the family patriarch said and did not hesitate and stepped onto the stage, her sheathed sword hanging on her hip as she looked seriously at Feng Xuan.

This is her only chance!

"Do you really want to do it, my dear?" Feng Xuan looked Li Fengyuan from head to toe, pausing for a few moments at her waist and breasts. He licked his own lips as he watched Li Fengyuan.

Li Fengyuan quickly showed an expression full of disgust as she felt Feng Xuan's penetrating and rude gaze.

"I am not yours and never will be! I'd rather be dead than give myself to you!" Li Fengyuan glared fiercely at Feng Xuan not allowing herself to be intimidated. She would rather die in this battle than lose and become this guy's woman!

"How many women wouldn't wish to be in your position, Fengyuan. But here you reject me and think you are superior in every way?" Feng Xuan sneered, showing a proud pose of the world.

"You will never know what this suffering is, let alone understand what it is like to have your own fate written and bound." Li Fengyuan fearlessly unsheathed her sword, unconsciously shifting her aura as she concentrated to the fullest.

Li Fengyuan wanted to prove that even though she was a woman she could fight for her own destiny just like men!

She didn't want to be a mere vase of flowers!

* Boom! *

Her aura increased fiercely and reached the peak of her cultivation, shocking the spectators and even her own family.
