Chapter 19: Initial Display of Skill

  Xiao He Wuti throws himself on the ground and begs everyone to collect it, thank you!

  ………

  The clan comparison meeting began, and the onlookers immediately focused their attention on the stage, wondering what kind of outstanding performance the young juniors of the three major families would show.

  Of course, due to the previous scene, everyone paid more attention to Du Feiyun, and they also understood in their hearts that this young man, who was once mediocre, seemed to be very different from before.

  Liu Zhanggui stood on the stage, eloquently expounding with passionate and stirring words, recounting the origin and history of the ancestral temple gathering, its profound significance, as well as its contributions to and influence on Baishi Town.

  Du Feiyun was not interested in these, quietly listening to Liu Zhanggui's chatter for half a time, and only remembered the names of more than a dozen young juniors who participated in the clan comparison conference today.

  Nowadays, among the three major families, the Liu family has a small population, and there is only one male descendant of the younger generation, Liu Heng. As for the three daughters of Liu Xiangtian, their strength is only at the second to third level of body refinement, not to mention that only Du Feiyun can represent the Liu family in battle.

  There are seven male descendants in the Bai family, with the oldest being Bai Yusheng's eldest son, Bai Long, who is currently 19 years old and has already reached the seventh layer of Body Refining, entering the late stage of Body Refining. The other six young masters of the Bai family range in age from 14 to 18, and their strength is roughly between the fourth and sixth layers of Body Refining.

  Among the younger generation of the Qin family, there were exactly seven males. However, Second Young Master Qin Shouyi was not present, so only six showed up. Among them, five young men's strength ranged from fourth to seventh layer, but a handsome youth wearing a black long gown caught Du Feiyun's attention.

  That handsome young man, Du Feiyun knew him, and he was called Qin Shouzheng, who is sixteen years old now, the third son of Qin Wannian. Qin Shouzheng rarely appeared in the sight of the people of Baishi Town, and had been living a simple life since childhood, indulging in cultivation. At the same time, Qin Shouzheng's talent for cultivation was also the most outstanding among the children of the Qin family.

  In the past few years, there have been rumors that Qin Shouzheng has already entered the seventh layer of the Refining Body realm. At the age of 13, he reached the late stage of Refining Body. Qin Shouzheng is indeed a talented young man in Baishi Town, second only to his older brother in terms of talent. Now that he has reappeared in front of everyone, people can only guess that his strength must have increased again. As for what realm he is currently in, it is unknown.

  From the moment he saw Qin Shouzheng, Du Feiyun knew that this Qin Shouzheng was absolutely not simple!

  Liu Zhanggui spoke on the stage for half an hour, finally ending and then announcing that all participating young people would go on stage to draw lots. Today, 14 young people participated in the family comparison, and they will be paired up through drawing lots to compete against each other. After four rounds of elimination, the final three winners will be determined.

  Fourteen spirited young monks stood in a line on the stage, instantly drawing thunderous applause from the surrounding crowd. The onlookers, filled with excitement and anticipation, couldn't help but cheer and shout encouragement to the youngsters on stage.

  Among them, the most popular is Qin Shouzheng, a talented young man from Baishi Town, followed by Bai Long, the eldest son of the White family, while Du Feiyun has no one cheering for him.

  Du Feiyun stood calmly on the spot, his face serene as he gazed at the scene in the arena, unruffled by praise or humiliation.

  According to the rules, the youngest of the fourteen people drew lots first and then took turns in order from small to large. Qin Shouzhong, 13 years old, was one year younger than Du Feiyun, so he naturally drew lots first.

  When Mr. Liu announced the start of the draw, Qin Shouzhong stretched out his hand without hesitation and handed him a bamboo slip. Mr. Liu took the bamboo slip and looked at it, then raised his head and loudly declared: "The first match, Qin Shouzhong from the Qin family against Du Feiyun from the Liu family!"

  As soon as this statement came out, the whole scene was boiling, and countless onlookers were discussing and whispering to each other. Of course, most people couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at Du Feiyun on stage.

  The first match was drawn, and Du Feiyun was indeed unlucky. Moreover, Qin Shouzheng, although young in age, had already reached the fifth layer of the Refining Body stage, his strength not to be underestimated.

  Du Feiyun had already drawn his lot, so he didn't need to draw again. Then, in order from youngest to oldest, six other young men also drew their lots and determined their opponents.

  Liu Zhanggui announced the situation of the seven matches one by one, and then the surrounding crowd burst into a warm applause, all looking forward to the upcoming battle.

  Bai Long had been suppressing the anger in his heart, and since he got on the stage, he had been paying attention to Du Fei Yun. In his heart, he secretly prayed that he could have a match with Du Fei Yun, so that he could defeat him in front of everyone and humiliate him severely, only then could he vent the hatred in his heart.

  Now the first match is between Du Feiyun and Qin Shouzheng, his wish fell through, and he felt a little regret in his heart. He turned his head to Du Feiyun not far away from him and said with a smile: "Little bastard, I originally wanted to teach you a lesson myself, but unexpectedly you were lucky enough to be drawn by Qin Shouzheng. I hope you can fight for some face, don't get eliminated by Qin Shouzheng, otherwise how can I teach you, fulfill my promise?"

  Bai Long's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to be heard by the dozen or so young people in the room. Everyone suddenly burst out laughing, and they all looked at Du Fei Yun with schadenfreude. Several young members of the Bai family chimed in, echoing Bai Long's sarcastic remarks about Du Fei Yun.

  Although there was a scene where Du Feiyun took action to teach Liu Heng a lesson, who among the young people present didn't know that Liu Heng was a useless spoiled brat? So in their minds, even if they defeated Liu Heng, it wasn't anything significant, and they still looked down on Du Feiyun with contempt.

  For the sarcasm and ridicule from these young men beside him, Du Fei Yun only expressionlessly swept his gaze across their faces before landing on Bai Long's body.

  "Rather than engaging in meaningless verbal disputes, it's better to see real action. I'm still waiting for you to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

  Seeing Du Feiyun completely unprovoked and even counter-sarcastic, Bai Long suddenly became furious, his fists clenched with a cracking sound, glaring at Du Feiyun viciously. If not for considering that they were in a public place at the moment, he really wanted to take action and severely teach Du Feiyun a lesson.

  Liu Zhang opened his mouth in a timely manner, breaking the almost stalemate atmosphere in the field, and announced the start of the first trial. The twelve young men left the arena one after another, leaving only Qin Shouzhong and Du Feiyun facing each other on the arena.

  Qin Shouzhong, although only thirteen years old, was almost as tall as Du Feiyun and looked even more robust. He walked to the front of Du Feiyun, one zhang away, stood still, with a cold smile on his face, looking at Du Feiyun, stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers: "Little bastard, are you going to admit defeat yourself or do I have to beat it out of you?"

  Contempt, naked contempt!

  In recent years, the young generation of the Qin and Bai families have never stopped bullying Du Feiyun, and beating and scolding him has become a common occurrence. Du Feiyun had long hated these little beasts to the extreme in his heart, but unfortunately, he was alone and weak, and could only avoid them.

  However, today's him is absolutely no longer the bullied teenager, whoever bullies him, he will fight back, whoever wants to kill him, he will make them die!

  There was no verbal dispute and no warning. As soon as Qin Shouzh's voice fell, Du Feiyun's figure had already disappeared from the scene.

  In an instant, a white figure brought up residual shadows, and floated out obliquely for one zhang, appearing beside Qin Shouzhong.

  A burst of fierce and powerful palm shadows suddenly appeared, striking Qin Shouzhong, who still had a cold smile on his face, like lightning. Du Feiyun's right foot stepped forward two steps, bringing with it a fleeting shadow, instantly hitting Qin Shouzhong's knee pit.

  In just an instant, Qin Shouzhong was caught off guard and struck in the chest with a palm, and kicked in the knee pit. Then he fell backwards, pale-faced, and heavily slammed onto the stage, making a dull thud. Before he could make any move, a cloth shoe sole pressed down on his chest like a mountain, transmitting immense force, Qin Shouzhong's eyes rolled back and he fainted, silent as can be.

  One palm, one kick, that's all! It appeared in an instant and ended in an instant, like a ghost, Qin Shouzhong had no chance to resist at all!

  The noisy crowd in the arena suddenly stopped, everyone's face was dull and their eyes were fixed on the white-robed youth on the stage, their mouths wide open as if they could swallow an egg.

  Is this still the same Du Feiyun who was once so taciturn and mediocre?

  For a moment, everyone gasped in unison, and the same thought flashed through their minds.
