'Whoosh.'

'Bang.'

How formidable. Xiaofan and his opponent were evenly matched. If one could say that Xiaofan hadn't used his full power when fighting Li San last time, then this time, he was unleashing his fastest speed without reservation.

However, Xiaofan's opponent somehow managed to completely block his attacks just by using clever body movements.

Moreover, Xiaofan knew limited techniques, so even if he wanted to use more brainpower to fight his opponent, it was completely ineffective.

For instance, if he could use Grapple Hand to grab the opponent's arm, he could dislocate it in an instant. But he simply didn't even have the chance to get hold of it.

Nevertheless, it might seem that Xiaofan was out of options, but wasn't the same true for his opponent as well?

Even though Ren Ying's attacks were very fierce, compared to Xiaofan, he still couldn't gain the upper hand at all.

The close combat between the two was astonishingly alike. Even their footwork had some similarities. However, Xiaofan only used the tip of his toes to touch the ground, approaching the opponent in the shortest and fastest straight line to attack.

The audience that had been cheering moments ago held their breath, not daring to speak loudly, afraid of disturbing the intense battle on stage.

"Mrs. Ren, what do you think? This Ye Xiaofan is really hard to beat, isn't he?" Cyan Dragon had already finished his fight early on and immediately came over to watch the clash between these two young people.

"Hmm? Did you finish already?" The granny looked at Cyan Dragon with slight surprise.

"I couldn't help it; I wanted to see who among the boy and your Ying'Er is stronger, so I went all out as soon as I entered the ring." Cyan Dragon replied with a faint smile.

"Hello, Grandpa Cyan Dragon." The big-eyed girl beside him immediately greeted when she saw the elder Cyan Dragon.

"You must be Ren Ling. It's strange, you should be twenty this year, right? Why haven't you grown taller yet?" Cyan Dragon looked at Ren Ling with a slight smile.

"Hmph. Not talking to Grandpa Cyan Dragon." Ren Ling became immediately upset and turned away upon hearing someone comment on her height.

"Haha, alright, alright, it's Grandpa Cyan Dragon's fault, will Ling'Er forgive Grandpa Cyan Dragon this once?" Cyan Dragon quickly apologized, realizing his slip.

"Fine, Grandpa Cyan Dragon, take a seat."

"Heh, good girl."

Because Ren Ling never grew taller, everyone who knew her treated her as a child, even though she was now a sophomore at Capital University.

"Hmm..." Just then, the granny suddenly expressed a slight surprise.

"What's wrong, Mrs. Ren?" Elder Cyan Dragon immediately asked.

"Did you notice? This Ye Xiaofan seems to be mimicking Ying'Er's footwork."

"No way, Ren Family's Ghost Shadow Step isn't something just anyone can imitate. When Mr. Ren broke the rule to teach me back in the day, I studied for two months and still failed. This youngster... cannot be, can he?" Elder Cyan Dragon said while looking at Ye Xiaofan on the stage. However, Xiaofan's movements were gradually becoming faster. If this isn't the Ren Family's Ghost Shadow Step, then what is it?

"What's this guy's background?" The granny was also shocked. If he was indeed the boy Ren Ling mentioned, the one who saved her from Big Guy, he was overwhelmed by Big Guy's few moves back then. But now, if Big Guy were here again, he might not be his match anymore.

Those offstage noticed this, and how couldn't Ren Ying on stage notice it as well. While shocked, he increasingly felt the opponent's terror. To actually turn defense into offense in such a short time, and clearly remember his own footwork and more fatally, make it his own.

That's right, Xiaofan was someone who liked to think a lot. When he found his opponent to be very formidable, he immediately thought of several strategies. Moreover, every tactic he tried to execute.

This was Xiaofan's third devised strategy, and if this also failed, his last resort was to give it all. However, he suddenly realized that remembering the opponent's body movements and footwork might not be so difficult. In fact, by making slight adjustments, he could replicate the same actions.

This was something Xiaofan hadn't expected because he inherited more than thirty years of Power from Ren Zhongtian, while Ren Ying happened to learn the unique steps of the Ren Family. With the support of Inner Strength, it wasn't difficult for Xiaofan to mimic it at all. In fact, with his current Power, he could execute it better than Ren Ying.

Ren Ying, who initially had the upper hand, was being gradually suppressed by Xiaofan. He knew that if this continued without taking any measures, he would eventually lose to Xiaofan.

Therefore...

"Celestial Burn · Nine Sobbing Palms."

With Ren Ying's shout. Xiaofan suddenly sensed danger and quickly retreated, but Ren Ying sped up and pursued him.

"Wow, when did Ying'Er learn Nine Sobbing Palms? This Ye Xiaofan is going to lose." Elder Cyan Dragon sighed in surprise as he watched Ren Ying unleash this big move. Evidently, he had hoped he could try fighting Ye Xiaofan himself.

Facing the first palm, Xiaofan felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. Not daring to receive it outright, he quickly dodged. The wind from the palm whipped past his ear, bringing with it an eerie buzzing sound, as if some creature was lamenting.

"I heard that the Sobbing Palm was something Mr. Ren realized during his cultivation in the deep mountains. Are there any stories behind it?" Elder Cyan Dragon asked softly.

"Back in the day, Chongtian found himself at a bottleneck in his Power he couldn't surpass, so he went into the deep mountains alone to train. Over more than two months without any progress, one day suddenly, he saw a mother monkey holding the corpse of her baby monkey, howling in sorrow. The baby had been bitten to death by a venomous snake while playing. The mother monkey refused to part with her dead child. The mournful cries followed one after another -- a total of nine cries, and at that moment, Chongtian suddenly had an epiphany and mastered the Nine Sobbing Palms on the spot."

"I see, Mr. Ren indeed deserves to be called a genius." Cyan Dragon sighed with emotion.

"Every palm in the Nine Sobbing Palms is extremely powerful, and the transitions between each palm are seamless. Just when you think it's about to stop, the second palm appears in front of you. Like that mother monkey, each cry is more heartbreaking than the last." The granny continued to explain.

"So that means the final palm will determine the outcome." Cyan Dragon slowly raised his head, looking at Xiaofan who had been forced into a corner, wondering how the young man would respond this time.

The first palm, second palm... up until the eighth palm. Xiaofan narrowly dodged them all, but when he evaded the eighth palm, he realized he had been tricked. Because the ninth palm couldn't be dodged at all and it was the fastest transition from the eighth.

'Bang.'

Xiaofan gritted his teeth and blocked with both hands. A 'crack' was heard, and Xiaofan was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Your hand is dislocated. There's no possibility of winning anymore." Ren Ying stood where he was, slowly exhaling in relief. He didn't expect that he would have to use his ultimate move before the finals.
