18: Chu Ying really pulled it, just this punch...

All the Quasi-Saint Children, including Su Yichen, and the forty-nine Quasi-Holy Daughters, bowed slightly to Yao Ruoxi.

However, there were two exceptions.

"Why does the Desolate Ancient Holy Body not bow to the Holy Daughter?"

Through the array projection light screen, many Supreme Mystery Disciples noticed this scene.

"Damn it! Does this Ye Junfan think he's already a Holy Son? How dare he disrespect the Holy Daughter?"

When they saw that Ye Junfan hadn't bowed to the Holy Daughter, most of the male Disciples were filled with righteous indignation and resentment.

In their hearts, the Holy Daughter was inviolable, a fantasy they only dared to harbor in their hearts, a dream lover.

The Supreme Mystery Holy Land currently had no Holy Son, so the Holy Daughter was "single"! This meant that everyone actually had a chance!

This also made countless Supreme Mystery Disciples strive to Cultivate diligently.

In fact, Yao Ruoxi had many admirers before she became the Holy Daughter.

After becoming the Holy Daughter, Yao Ruoxi's cultivation far surpassed others, taking the lead, and her temperament became even more sacred and noble, widening the gap between her and the other Quasi-Holy Daughters.

Therefore, she quickly became the goddess pursued by numerous male Disciples within the Supreme Mystery Holy Land.

In their eyes, not bowing when encountering the Holy Daughter was a sign of disrespect!

However, these people soon shifted their gaze from Ye Junfan to another person.

"Look! Chu Ying didn't bow to the Holy Daughter either!"

"Hmph! I've long heard that Chu Ying has been pursuing the Holy Daughter and even acted as a bootlicker for the Holy Daughter, but he's already crippled now, so how dare he still act like this?"

On Wu Dou Peak,

Ye Junfan stood proudly. As the Desolate Ancient Holy Body, he would soon become a Holy Son, and he felt that he didn't need to bow to Yao Ruoxi.

Moreover, among his peers, his combat power was unrivaled; this was his arrogance, and he would not bow to anyone.

He smiled as he looked at Yao Ruoxi.

He found that Chu Ying also did not bow to Yao Ruoxi.

Others also noticed this situation, and their expressions became strange.

It seemed there really was something going on between Chu Ying and the Holy Daughter.

At this moment, Chu Ying's expression was calm and unruffled, undisturbed by Yao Ruoxi's arrival.

"You rose to power by relying on my cultivation resources.

Do I still need to bow to you?

I wouldn't in the past, I won't now, and I certainly won't in the future."

Yao Ruoxi faintly scanned the entire scene, naturally noticing Chu Ying. Seeing that Chu Ying's complexion seemed fine, she was a little surprised.

But that was all; her gaze towards Chu Ying was very cold, as if everything from the past had dissipated like smoke.

Her gaze quickly fell upon the Martial Dao Monument that Ye Junfan had struck.

A combat power level of one restriction, nine stars, half-step two restrictions.

As expected of the Desolate Ancient Holy Body, to be able to achieve this level in the Spirit Sea Realm is truly terrifying.

Even when she was in the Spirit Sea Realm, her strongest combat power level was only one restriction, nine stars, but this was still the result of her having double the resources, plus opportunities and continuous accumulation.

Ye Junfan had just reached the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm and had already achieved this level, which was imaginable.

Yao Ruoxi nodded gently at Ye Junfan, a charming smile blossoming on her exquisite Face.

"Elder Lu, please continue," Yao Ruoxi said.

Firstly, she came to observe the Quasi-Saint Child Grand Competition, believing that Ye Junfan would definitely win the position of Holy Son. Secondly, perhaps some Quasi-Holy Daughters would challenge her.

Elder Lu Lin snapped back to attention and looked towards Chu Ying.

He remembered clearly that among the eighty-one Quasi-Saint Children, only Chu Ying had yet to undergo the test.

He felt a slight regret for this number one Quasi-Saint Child, but he wasn't particularly fond of him either.

The former number one Quasi-Saint Child, Chu Ying, who had the highest combat power level, was also listed as a potential recruit by Wu Dou Peak.

Originally, Wu Dou Peak had planned to invite Chu Ying after he entered the Cave Heaven Realm.

But then the Desolate Ancient Holy Body appeared.

Their Peak Lord chose to bet on the Desolate Ancient Holy Body Ye Junfan, naturally abandoning Chu Ying.

Who would have thought that this Chu Ying would actually Cultivate some forbidden technique and cripple himself? This made Wu Dou Peak feel both regret and a sense of irony, as even though Wu Dou Peak was betting on the Desolate Ancient Holy Body, it didn't mean they didn't value others.

Everyone also looked at Chu Ying.

The former,

Number one Quasi-Saint Child.

Chu Ying looked composed as he walked steadily onto the arena.

Seeing his movements, a Quasi-Saint Child couldn't help but sneer.

"Is Chu Ying so crippled that he can't even jump onto the arena?"

"The waves behind push the waves ahead, and the former waves die on the beach. The name Chu Ying will soon fade into obscurity..."

The Supreme Mystery Disciples watching the array projection light screen also clicked their tongues.

"Chu Ying is already like this, why is he still coming to participate in the Quasi-Saint Child Grand Competition?"

"Because of Face! After all, he was once the number one Quasi-Saint Child, the most promising candidate for the Holy Son position!"

"One can only say he deserved it."

...

Lin Zhixue stared at Chu Ying's figure, muttering to herself.

This guy moves so fast, yet he insists on walking onto the arena; it's truly speechless.

However... it seems others don't know that Chu Ying hasn't actually been crippled.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation, looking forward to Chu Ying's performance.

Her intuition told her that Chu Ying was no longer the Chu Ying of the past, but a more unfathomable Chu Ying.

At this moment,

Chu Ying raised his hand, clenched his fist, and casually struck the Martial Dao Monument.

"Tsk! Chu Ying is really weak. That punch of his has no spirit at all; I'm afraid it can't even break one restriction!"

"A former Tianjiao, now in distress, shameful and laughable, pitiful and hateful!"

The Quasi-Saint Children all mocked him. In their opinion, Chu Ying's punch was too ordinary; even without using a Martial Skill, he didn't even seem to be putting in his full effort!

This could only prove that Chu Ying was truly crippled, and he could only do this much.

Among them, a certain Quasi-Saint Child number eighty, who had previously declared he would challenge Chu Ying, even more arrogantly said, "I told you, Chu Ying is no good anymore. When the competition starts, I'll be the first to challenge—"

His words were cut short, his eyes wide, almost bulging out.

Not just him.

Everyone in the audience thought they were seeing things.

On the Martial Dao Monument, star imprints lit up one by one.

Soaring directly from the first to the eighteenth!

But it didn't stop there!

Eighteen... nineteen... twenty...

Twenty-one!

Two restrictions, three stars!

The entire venue was silent, not a single sound of breathing. They had forgotten that they could still breathe.

"He... how is he two restrictions, three stars?" Xiao Yan trembled all over, even his speech stammered.

"How can this guy, with just an ordinary punch, achieve a combat power level of two restrictions, three stars?" Su Yichen frowned, shocked yet full of doubt.

Chu Ying's last combat power test was only one restriction, eight stars, and now he's crippled. There's no reason for his combat power level to rise instead of fall, right?

The most spectacular expression belonged to Ye Junfan.

Moreover, the Ancient Sacred Body was known as unrivaled among peers, yet he was only at half-step two restrictions. How could Chu Ying reach such a level?

In front of the Martial Dao Monument,

Chu Ying didn't stop; that was just a casual punch he threw, not yet using his full strength!

As for this combat power level, he was not surprised at all.

Don't forget, the two Dharma Idols he forged, Azure Luan and Gluttonous, were both extraordinary Dharma Idols.

He was already extremely talented, even before Yao Ruoxi became the Holy Daughter, she couldn't compare to him.

If his combat power level didn't skyrocket after he got the System cheat, that would be truly embarrassing!
