Chapter 17: Overbearing to the Extreme

  "Come down!" Lei Yu shouted loudly, "I'll fight him!"

  Upon hearing this, Lei Tian raised an eyebrow, "You think you're qualified to say that?" He continued nonchalantly, "Since you don't care about losing face, I'll make sure you lose it all the way home and let the Governor know his son has acknowledged his mistake and wronged his friend!"

  Liu Hao jumped down from the high platform, spat a mouthful of saliva on the stage and rushed to Lei Yu, saying: "Master, beat him up, beat him so that his mother won't recognize him when he goes home!"

  Some people also joined in the jeering because of the presence of the provincial governor.

  "Hit him, hit him!"

  "The good show is about to begin!" Xiao Fei said to himself with a cold smile on his face.

  Lei Yu's body lightly jumped onto the high platform, Lei Yu didn't let Liu Hao and Lei Tian fight. The reason was simple: the power of the Lei family members was all hidden, unlike other people who would infuse their true energy into their bodies, making it visible to anyone who saw them whether they were violating the rules or not. The competition's rules only compared strength and techniques, but the Lei family used internal force, even if they used special abilities within their body, it wouldn't be detected. His own disciple's weight and size Lei Yu was clearer than anyone else about, he simply wasn't a match for Lei Tian.

  Lei Yu let out a soft breath, in front of so many people, Lei Tian's actions undoubtedly made himself and the Lei family thoroughly sworn enemies, if that was the case then he couldn't hold back.

  Since the match has evolved to this point, everyone wants to see what kind of wonderful fight these two arch-enemies will have. After a brief exchange with the other two referees, Governor Liu decided to start the match.

  Lei Yu lightly smoothed his sleeves, while Lei Tian was completely nonchalant. Two years ago, he had already experienced what Lei Yu was capable of and didn't take him seriously at all. However, he had no idea just how much Lei Yu had changed over the past two years!

  Since you want to make Lei Yu lose face, then you must strike quickly and win with one move. Lei Tian infused his true energy into his arms, but from the outside, there was no visible sign of it. Meanwhile, Lei Yu quietly condensed his purple true energy in his hands and legs.

  Lei Yu didn't move, but Lei Tian rushed over first.

  "Ah!"

  Lei Tian raised his hand, and a straight punch shot towards Lei Yu's head. The fist wind whistled through the air, while Lei Yu stood still, waiting for the attack to arrive. When Lei Tian's fist was only one palm away from his head, Lei Yu suddenly lifted his left hand to block it quickly. At the same time, the powerful force that had been building up burst out instantly, releasing all his hatred towards the Lei family in that instant.

  The shame of yesterday and the humiliation of today accompanied by a "crack" that sent chills down to the bone, the game is over.

  "Ah! My arm! Ah!" Lei Tian fell to the ground, rolling back and forth, one hand covering his own arm, the piercing pain making him feel like he was going crazy.

  Stillness, absolute stillness, if there's any disturbance it would only be the painful screams of Lei Tian on the ground.

  The entire audience, the three people sitting in the judges' seats, the five winners of the competition, Aier and Nuohu, as well as Liu Hao, Raiyu's apprentice, all had their mouths agape. They hadn't even seen clearly what had just happened. Raiyu simply raised his hand, and his opponent was lying on the ground, crying out in pain. All of this had happened in an instant.

  Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and after a full ten or so seconds, the whole scene erupted completely.

  Young people shouting "Awesome!"

  Those high-ranking officials and nobles all opened their mouths in praise and cheers, with some people even shouting "Lei Yu, Lei Yu......!"

  Liu Hao looked at his master's gaze with admiration, this admiration was stronger than before.

  "From today on, no! It should be from two years ago, I, Lei Yu, have nothing to do with the Lei family. You are openly insulting me, and I think whoever you insult, they will not let go of a scoundrel like you! This is what you forced me into, it's the Lei family that forced me into this!" Lei Yu stood on the high platform and said these words, making everyone understand his determination and see his strong independence.

  Cheers and whistles erupted, and Lei Yu instantly became the focus of the entire audience. Xiao Fei and several other formal contestants faded into the background, while Lei Tian, who was crying out loud on the field, was carried off by two people for emergency treatment.

  The whole scene was boiling not because they saw the showdown between Lei Yu and Lei Tian, but because of how formidable the Lei family was, even though no one had seen it before. The Lei family was extremely mysterious, and Lei Yu, who was called a coward, easily defeated Lei Tian with just one move, leaving him completely disabled. Adding to this was Lei Tian's arrogance and the host's introduction at the beginning as a young genius, all of which laid an extremely high platform for Lei Yu's well-deserved cheers.

  "Master, you're so awesome! You're my idol!" Liu Hao exclaimed, hugging Lei Yu excitedly.

  Nuo Hu and Ai'er beside him were also delighted, beaming with joy, but Lei Yu couldn't bring himself to smile. The Lei family and he had truly become irreconcilable enemies, and today's events would not be the end of it - the Lei family would definitely not let things go so easily, and in the days to come, he wouldn't be able to avoid their harassment. Lei Yu couldn't help but think about what he should do from now on.

  Having been with Lei Yu for a long time, Nuo Hu naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart, and whispered to Lei Yu's ear: "Don't worry, I'll ask my father to go to the Lei family to help you settle this matter, I think they should give my father some face."

  Lei Yu nodded enthusiastically, and in his mind, this big brother suddenly became even more majestic.

  "After a brief excitement, Lei Yu respectfully said to the host and three judges beside him: 'Sorry, interrupted the normal match, today's things are really sorry.'"

  "Kid, you're alright. I can leave Liu Hao in your hands with no worries!" Governor Liu patted Lei Yu's shoulder heavily and smiled.

  Captain Zou and Instructor Zhuang were not ordinary people, they had seen Lei Yu's simple performance on the field with their own eyes, that kind of instantaneous explosive power and reaction speed as well as calm mind had impressed these two.

  "Are you interested in joining our Eagle Team? I believe you will receive better training with the Eagles," Captain Zou said.

  "Sorry, I've already joined the Dragon Squad," said Lei Yu with an apologetic smile.

  Off to the side, Instructor Zhuang covered his mouth. Lei Yu had long known about this person. Although he rarely saw him on a daily basis, he had heard rumors. This Instructor Zhuang was only in charge of training new recruits and naturally wouldn't have the chance to see someone as powerful as the Dragon Team.

  Today, Lei Yu's stunning performance was a three-pronged early show. Firstly, it pushed Lei Tian to the highest position, and then Lei Yu instantly knocked him down, naturally sitting on his high platform or even higher. Secondly, the atmosphere on the field was brought to life. Thirdly, Lei Tian's arrogance and unreasonableness.

  "Lei Yu smiled, 'Please continue with the match.'"

  After saying that, Lei Yu hastily left the hall. Ai Er and the other two originally wanted to follow him out, but were arranged by Lei Yu to be unable to leave. Nu Hu needed to continue participating in the competition, Ai Er had to stay on site to cheer for her brother, and Liu Hao was left behind to observe and learn.

  Lei Yu stood outside the grand hall, letting out a long sigh. "Looks like I'll have to contact Old Man Liu soon, see if I can get some news about my mother." Lei Yu was still quite concerned about his own origins.

  Today's voice is entirely dependent on Lei Yu's control of the true energy reaching a state of perfection, if it were like last year, maybe now he can't even walk out of this hall.

  Lei Yu returned to his residence by taxi, and now he must recover the true energy he had just depleted as soon as possible. Keeping the true energy in his body full at all times is something a cultivator must do.

  The surging true energy subsided after a turbulent roll, and Lei Yu proceeded to push the flow of true energy in an orderly manner, while also continuously absorbing the thin spiritual power from the air.

  Lei Yu's current fusion middle stage is actually just the beginning of the traditional ranking, and there are not a few people at this stage. Lei Yu doesn't dare to be careless, he must improve his strength to stand undefeated, only being strong is the king's way, this is Lei Yu's understanding. If he is strong enough, today's humiliation and the shame two years ago would not have happened. Today, Lei Yu is different from before, no longer the second young master who worked hard to stay in the Lei family, but a Lei Yu who wants to become stronger for himself, a strong and independent Lei Yu.

  Lei Yu's performance today was not spread, only the people present knew. After Lei Yu left, Nuo Hu stood on the high platform and deliberately ordered that everyone must keep today's events confidential. Nuo Hu is nothing, but his father is someone few people dare to offend, so it's better to keep one's mouth shut.
