Chapter 26: Do you know my strength?

Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and Hu Xing hastened their steps toward the Martial Arts Stage.
Fearing that Chen Bingyao had already swiftly defeated Yang Xiaotian, they worried they would miss an exciting duel.
With the deliberate spread of the news by Cheng Beibei, Hu Xing, and Yang Zhong, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were also informed about Yang Xiaotian’s challenge.
Lin Yong shook his head, “A calf is not afraid of tigers.”
Chen Yuan said, “Shall we also go have a look?”
Lin Yong replied, ‘What’s there to see? The outcome is without suspense.” Implying that Yang Xiaotian was sure to lose.
By the time Hu Xing and the others arrived at the Martial Arts Stage, students from the fourth class and many others from the academy who had heard the news had already surrounded the stage.
When Cheng Beibei and her group arrived, they saw that Yang Xiaotian and Chen Bingyao had not yet started fighting, which eased their minds since they hadn’t missed the duel.
Seeing that most of the crowd had arrived, Chen Bingyao looked at Yang Xiaotian with evident contempt, “Yang Xiaotian, you, a mere fourth-order, dare to challenge me.”
“Do you even know my strength?”
However, Yang Xiaotian interrupted, “One move.”
Chen Bingyao was puzzled.
One move?
“One move to defeat you,” Yang Xiaotian added.
As soon as Yang Xiaotian’s words fell, an uproar ensued at the scene.
“What did this kid say? Defeat Chen Bingyao in one move?” “I think he can’t even take one move from Chen Bingyao.” The disciples of Divine Sword Academy were incensed.
Hu Xing shook his head, “Idiot.”
Cheng Beibei also shouted, “Chen Bingyao, beat him till he resembles a pig’s head for me.”
Chen Bingyao, hearing Cheng Beibei’s voice, turned and respectfully replied, “Rest assured, Your Highness Princess.” Afterwards, he began to circulate his Fighting Spirit throughout his body.
“Kid, watch closely, this is our academy’s Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship,” Chen Bingyao thrust his sword toward Yang Xiaotian, “The Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship is among the most superior of Acquired Sword Techniques.
His sword moves were swift, reaching Yang Xiaotian’s face in the blink of an eye, the technique containing two variations, with the strength of his Acquired fifth-order Fighting Spirit, his long sword shimmered with a cold gleam.
“Excellent!” Many students applauded Chen Bingyao’s move.
“With this sword technique, Chen Bingyao displays ease and mastery, deeply grasping the essence of Swordsmanship,” Hu Xing, seeing this, nodded in appreciation. Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was completely unresponsive on the stage, he sneered, “It seems one move will determine the winner.”
Yang Xiaotian, facing the thrust from Chen Bingyao, remained expressionless.
To him, Chen Bingyao’s move was far inferior compared to the previous ones from Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu.
In his eyes, it was full of flaws.
Yang Xiaotian didn’t even bother to draw his sword or use Martial Techniques; he simply stepped aside and hammered a punch into his opponent’s chest. Bang!
Chen Bingyao was seen drawing a beautiful arc in the air before crashing down to the ground outside the Martial Arts Stage.
The ground trembled.
Dust rose into the air.
The previously cheering crowd fell silent.
Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong’s faces were filled with astonishment and shock.
Cao Lu, who had initially instructed Chen Bingyao to give Yang Xiaotian a good lesson with his Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship, was also stunned.
Yang Xiaotian, looking at the stunned Cao Lu, said, “Since I have won, can I have my share of the superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid now?”
Cao Lu’s face didn’t look very good, but in the end, he took out the Spiritual
Liquid and threw it to Yang Xiaotian, “This is superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid; you’ve never consumed anything like it in your life. Be careful when you consume it, don’t choke yourself to death!”
Yang Xiaotian received the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and replied,
“Don’t worry, I won’t consume such trash.”
He had to get back that Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid; it was rightfully his, nothing more.
Of course, he could also sell it for money, so that he could legitimately send the money back home.
He knew his parents had just bought a new house and were in urgent need of money.
Cao Lu’s face turned green when he heard Yang Xiaotian, who had only a level two Martial Soul, call the superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid garbage!
At this moment, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were talking in the yard about the sale of supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid at Xingyue City’s auction.
The Divine Sword Academy certainly wanted to bid on these fourteen portions of supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, but at that time, there would inevitably be a multitude of forces competing, and the auction would definitely be extremely fierce.
Just thinking about it gave Lin Yong a headache.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.
Lin Yong and Chen Yuan felt puzzled.
“Chen Bingyao actually lost! Defeated by a single move!”
“Yang Xiaotian is clearly only fourth-rank, yet he defeated Chen Bingyao with his bare hands in a single move!”
“What kind of boxing did Yang Xiaotian use?”
The excited voices of students passing by left Lin Yong and Chen Yuan dumbfounded.
What, Chen Bingyao defeated in a single move?
By Yang Xiaotian?
In a mix of shock and suspicion, Lin Yong called over Disciple Hu Xing.
Hu Xing detailed the proceedings of the duel, then said, “It seems Yang Xiaotian had anticipated Chen Bingyao’s attack in advance, probably because he had studied the Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship, that’s why he could defeat Chen Bingyao so easily.”
Chen Yuan was skeptical. Was it really so? He pondered and said, “When I get a chance, I’ll ask Yang Xiaotian about it.”
He smiled at Lin Yong and said, “I didn’t expect this kid to be able to defeat Chen Bingyao.”
Lin Yong shook his head, “Defeating Chen Bingyao doesn’t prove anything.”
After leaving the scene, Yang Xiaotian didn’t return to the dormitory but left Divine Sword Academy instead.
Today was the weekend, with no classes to attend, so it was the perfect opportunity to sell the superior Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, send the money back to his parents, and inquire about the prices of residences in Divine Sword City, intending to buy one.
Divine Sword Academy didn’t require students to live in the dormitory. If they owned a residence in Divine Sword City, it would be much more convenient for him to practice and conduct his affairs in the future.
After asking around for the location of the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild’s branch in Divine Sword City, Yang Xiaotian went there and sold the superior
Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for one thousand one hundred gold coins. He then inquired about the prices of residences around Divine Sword Academy.
Without inquiring, he didn’t realize it, but after he did, Yang Xiaotian was shocked to find that better residences in Divine Sword City generally cost forty to fifty thousand gold coins; if near the Divine Sword Academy, the prices were even higher, easily amounting to over a hundred thousand gold coins.
“Over a hundred thousand?” Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly; he had only about thirty thousand gold coins to his name.
This amount,in Xingyue City, would be considered a huge sum, but in Divine Sword City, it was merely petty cash.
It seemed he still needed to work hard to earn money.
Continue making and selling supreme Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid? After some thought, Yang Xiaotian decided instead to make and sell Innate Spirit Pills, since they were priced higher and offered greater profits.
However, the ingredients for Four Symbols Spirit Pills were very rare, so Yang Xiaotian had to settle for making Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.
The ingredients for the Dragon-Tiger Elixir were, happily, quite readily available.
After buying a large batch of ingredients, Yang Xiaotian sent the money he obtained from the Spiritual Liquid to his parents, then returned to Divine Sword Academy.
However, upon his return to Divine Sword Academy, he was stopped by Chen Hong, a student guarding the gate.
Yang Xiaotian explained that he was a new student who had just registered at the academy, but Chen Hong, with an official air, shook his head, “According to the academy rules, you may not enter without wearing the academy uniform.” “What’s going on here?” At that moment, Senior Brother Hu arrived from down the street, apparently, he had also been out and was now returning to the academy.
“Senior Brother Hu, he says he is a new student who has just registered at the academy. However, according to the academy rules, he cannot enter without wearing the academy uniform,” Chen Hong quickly bowed and said upon seeing Hu Xing.
Hearing this, Hu Xing smiled at Yang Xiaotian, “Indeed, you cannot enter the academy without wearing the uniform,” after saying this, he didn’t pay any further attention to Yang Xiaotian and entered Divine Sword Academy.
“Hold on!” Yang Xiaotian pointed at Hu Xing and said to Chen Hong, “He’s not wearing the academy uniform either.”
Chen Hong laughed, “You are you, and Senior Brother Hu is Senior Brother Hu; if you can claim first place in the academy’s grand competition like Senior
Brother Hu, you too can enter and exit without wearing the academy uniform..”
