Chapter 141: Admitting Defeat

  Qin Li wore a long blue shirt on his body, not disheveled in the slightest, standing calmly in the middle of the scene, saying lightly.

  On the other side, two figures shot up like meteors and lightning, instantly catching Xiahou Feng's body, falling to the ground, and gazing at Qin Qi's eyes, already filled with murderous intent!

  The huge arena, thousands of people all stared with their eyes wide open and mouths agape, their faces filled with incredulous expressions, dead silence.

  Then everyone opened their mouths and cheered wildly!

  The mountains call and the seas respond, but it's just like this!

  Originally sitting there, Chen Yi Han and the former principal of Gaoji Academy, Yi Lao, also stood up involuntarily at this moment, looking at the young man standing with his hands behind his back in shock. The strong heart that belonged to a top-notch martial artist, both of them were beating violently, their hearts full of shock!

  Even Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe stood up incredulously, shouting "Good!" but his voice was already drowned out by the waves of cheers!

  After shouting out loud, he felt something was wrong and sat down with a humph, looking around to find that no one had noticed his embarrassment.

  Everyone was shouting frantically, those usually calm and collected, high-and-mighty, seemingly unshakeable genius students were now excited beyond words, tears streaming down their faces as they shouted wildly, many not even knowing what they were shouting about.

  This whistling sound, even rushes up to the sky!

  The entire Imperial Capital of Qinglong City seemed to tremble for an instant at this moment.

  Many people looked towards the direction of the advanced academy with a puzzled expression, unsure of what had happened there.

  Xiahou Feng's face was as pale as gold paper, his mouth opened and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. He opened his eyes, and they had already turned completely red. His heart was filled with countless whys!

  Why? He clearly only has county-level strength, yet he can break through my heavenly-level defense?

  Why? His movements were so fast, I didn't even have time to react.

  Why? His strength was so great that one kick seemed to be able to crush all his internal organs.

  Why, why, why! "Young master, let's go kill him." Twelve heaven-level powers of the clan, all gathered around Xiahou Feng's side, as long as he gave an order, these people would immediately rush up and tear to pieces the person who dared to hurt their young master.

  Xiahou Feng felt his internal organs churning again, and another mouthful of blood and black clots spewed out, indicating that he had suffered a severe internal injury!

  Xiahou Feng raised his arm, weakly waving it back and forth. As he spat out the second mouthful of blood, he felt much better. He took a bottle of healing holy medicine handed over by the guard beside him and swallowed it in one gulp.

  A surge of warmth flowed down his throat and filled his entire body, alleviating the severe injury somewhat. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't... little..."

  "Master!" Two young men with the same heavenly strength, their faces looked extremely ugly, their eyes were bloodshot, and they said angrily: "Can't let this kid go!"

  At this time, Chen Yihan and Yi Lao, as well as several other old men that Qin Li had never seen before, all walked over from the surrounding area of the martial arts arena and stood beside Qin Li.

  The intention is very clear, that is, at all costs, this kid must be protected!

  What is this? This is a national treasure! In the hearts of Dust and Han, etc., this young marquis. More precious than a national treasure!

  People from the land of mystery, with a massive backing behind them, wearing dazzling halos on their heads, possessing astonishing martial arts skills, young and powerful to the point of being intimidating. Who dares to provoke such people? Even if they are arrogant to death, looking down on everyone, no one dares to compete with them.

  But in their hearts, whether it was Dusty Cold or Yilao, or these top-notch warriors who kept approaching Qin Lie, who would feel relieved?

  The stronger a martial artist is, the more sacred and inviolable their dignity is!

  But what if the other person's fist is bigger than yours, violating your dignity and trampling on your bottom line?

  If it weren't for this young master Hou, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, just think about it, when these extremely arrogant and mysterious outsiders leave, the group of genius students in the entire Advanced Academy will suffer a huge blow.

  Some people will rise from this, but more people will be disheartened!

  So this young master Hou, even if he risks his life, must be protected! Because only people like him are the hope for the future of the entire country!

  Only then can be considered a true legend!

  Xiahou Feng at this time, slightly used a bit of physical strength, his arched body also straightened up a bit, but what followed was a bone-piercing chill that swept through his entire body!

  He struggled to control his anger, humiliation and that overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

  In order to take down this young man in one fell swoop, he had already unleashed the full extent of his Tier 3 Heavenly Stage abilities! He could even swear that this was the culmination of all his skills and techniques honed since childhood.

  But lost!

  Lost so miserably, lost so effortlessly!

  His words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Xiahou Feng's seemingly proud but actually fragile heart.

  This pain is far greater than physical pain, countless times more!

  "Don't kill him" Xiahou Feng struggled free from the support of the two guards and slowly walked towards Qin Li.

  On the platform, the thunderous applause suddenly subsided, and people became tense again. After all, the dozen or so people following that young man had faces that were not pleasant to look at. From a distance, you could feel the powerful aura emanating from them, as well as their soaring anger!

  Fortunately, Qin Li's side had also gathered many top-notch experts. The audience occasionally heard students exclaiming in surprise because they recognized the elderly people gathering around Qin Li as their own ancestors who hadn't appeared for many years. It seemed that this battle was no longer just a matter of these students' face and the princess's freedom, nor was it just a matter of Qing Long Country's national dignity.

  The kind of uneven confrontation between the secular and the mysterious has already risen!

  Mysterious places, hidden families, spread to every corner of the Tianyuan continent. Almost everyone who has reached a certain level will hear some rumors about them. However, very few people know where the entrance to each mysterious place is located. Some people who have inadvertently entered the mysterious places often only see one aspect of it - that every person there is incredibly powerful and terrifying!

  Even if they are weak, they still have dignity, let alone these worldly top martial artists.

  In the eyes of these top-grade warriors who rushed to hear the news, this young man had regained dignity for all secular warriors. This battle was equivalent to a silent roar towards those mysterious lands!

  Although you are very strong, we will never be weak!

  Xiahou Feng looked at those worldly Tian-class warriors with tense faces, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, with a hint of mockery, as if also self-mockery.

  Just before this war, these secular heavenly warriors were not taken seriously by him at all. He was already a third-tier heavenly warrior at the age of 20. However, these secular heavenly warriors were all old men in their seventies or eighties, or even over a hundred years old. Occasionally, he would meet a young heavenly warrior who could be called a genius, but that person would also be an old man in his fifties. This was already very remarkable!

  So Xiahou Feng always looked down on worldly warriors, he thought he had the qualifications to look down on them!

  Compared with others, I am the real genius!

  He walked slowly to Qin Li's side, his mouth twitching violently for a few moments, it was one thing to think about it, but another thing to admit his failure in front of this person.

  "Are you here to fulfill your promise?"

  Good grief, Qin Li poured another handful of salt on Xiahou Feng's wound.

  Xiahou Feng's originally pale face suddenly turned red, his eyes shooting out two cold and fierce glints. The Xiahou family guards who had come with him also exuded an astonishing aura, each one of them releasing a powerful presence that seemed to shake the air!

  The two of them, Chen Yihan and Yi Lao, didn't exchange a word, but the aura of a Ninth-Stage Heaven-Ranking cultivator suddenly burst out!

  The momentum is almost solidified into a substance. It's overwhelming, like a vast ocean.

  The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

  Xiahou Feng's chest heaved violently for a few times, then he lightly waved his hand and the people behind him suppressed their indignation.

  The people on this side, including Han Feng and others, also let out a sigh of relief. They reined in their momentum. After all, the people in front of them were too powerful, and it was better to leave some room for maneuvering rather than risking death by offending them.

  If they go too far, then even if it means death, I will still fight them to the end!

  Everyone is a top-notch martial artist, who would really be afraid when it's just talk?

  "I lost!"

  Xiahou Feng's three words didn't come easily; originally, he thought that admitting defeat would be a huge humiliation, almost more unbearable than death itself.

  After uttering those three words, he found that he wasn't as heartbroken as he had imagined, although there was still a huge sense of shame.

  Saying that, Xiahou Feng rushed towards the viewing platform and slowly said: "You are the real genius, I was wrong, I am a fool!"

  There was no mocking sound from the stands. On the contrary, it was very quiet.

  The students of the Imperial Advanced Academy, by nature, are all proud and arrogant. In terms of strength, they indeed cannot surpass Xiahou Feng, so when Xiahou Feng apologizes, it not only doesn't bring them any pleasure, but instead makes their hearts feel extremely stifled.

  This suppressed energy also turned into a tremendous driving force! Almost everyone, at this moment, secretly vowed to cultivate with all their might!

  One day, when I meet someone like Xiahou Feng again, I will stand up straight, and loudly tell them: "I am a genius!"
