However, the old man simply waved his hand casually and deflected Yang Fei's aggressive attacks.

The elder no longer took action.

After blocking a few moves, he suddenly leaped lightly and landed on a huge boulder.

Yang Fei was stunned.

Then he heard the elder laugh bitterly, "No need to fight anymore, I've lost."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"How is that possible? Great Uncle Master is a peer from the same era as the Martial God; how could he lose?"

"My God, this monster is too powerful."

…

The old man seemed not to hear the crowd's astonishment.

He said indifferently, "Fists fear the vigor of youth, and if we continued, I would no longer have the strength."

As he spoke, the rosy hue on his face suddenly vanished, turning sallow and withered.

Moreover, his waist bent down further, appearing even more frail and decrepit than before.

The old man looked at Yang Fei with a calm expression.

"Since you have learned the Yu Step of the Martial God, the Martial Arts Energy Field of a Core Formation Expert is already useless against you."

"If I can't injure you within three moves, I can only concede defeat."

Yang Fei looked at the old man blankly, "What's the Yu Step?"

The old man chuckled.

"Since you have already learned the Yu Step, why pretend to be ignorant?"

"Legend has it that the Yu Step strides through the celestial planes, salutes the Northern Dipper, and can communicate with deities."

"Having seen it today, its reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Saying that, he walked down from the boulder.

"Young man, let's part ways here. The great governance of the Martial God needs you to carry it on."

"The hope of the Hua Xia National Arts lies on your shoulders; you must take good care of it."

With those words, he walked into the crowd, and many disciples stepped aside to let him pass.

The crowd watched his stooped and lean figure slowly disappear into the distance.

Elder Liang called out from afar, "Great Uncle, where are you going?"

The elder sighed deeply.

"Now that a descendent of the Martial God has finally appeared, an old man like me no longer needs to keep struggling."

"If you want to learn the Martial God's Peerless Technique, follow this young man."

His voice lingered, but his figure gradually vanished from sight.

Not until the old man's silhouette had disappeared did the Four Great Elders come back to their senses.

It took them more than ten seconds before the four old men turned around, staring blankly at Yang Fei.

The look in their eyes was one of feverish excitement.

Baldy Elder Liang's lips trembled non-stop, his gaze filled with a mix of sorrow and joy.

Finally, he rushed over frantically and grabbed Yang Fei's shoulders.

"Tell me, the step technique you used, was it the Yu Step?"

Yang Fei, bewildered, responded with a question of his own to Elder Liang.

"What Yu Step?"

The expression on Elder Liang's face was one of mad fervor, his eyes blazing.

He looked like a pauper who had discovered some peerless treasure.

Elder Liang, holding onto Yang Fei's shoulders, shook them repeatedly.

"The Yu Step, oh! When the Martial God performed the Yu Step, he slew the Twelve War Gods of Sang Nation."

"You cannot be unaware of such a glorious feat."

To be honest, there are many stories of the Martial God's illustrious deeds circulating within the Mortal World.

But many are exaggerations or distortions of truth, and quite preposterous, shrouded in mysteries beyond belief.

Yang Fei almost never listened nor believed them.

Therefore, when Elder Liang mentioned the Martial God slaying the Twelve War Gods of Sang Nation.

Yang Fei truly did not know.

However, lying with his eyes open was a particular talent of Yang Fei.

He would not forget the identity he currently held.

Playing the part of the wise, he sighed deeply.

"I'm certainly aware of that, but my elder brother is modest and low-key, never allowing me to speak recklessly outside."

"Heavens, Mr. Yang really is the younger brother of the Martial God."

"In my entire life, the person I admire and respect the most is the Martial God."

Elder Liang, listening to Yang Fei unhesitatingly admitting without delay, felt his legs weaken and nearly knelt down.

Two disciples quickly supported Elder Liang.

The injured Elder Luo and Elder Cheng, sitting on the ground watching the fight, were also utterly shocked.

Elder Qi, however, was somewhat doubtful.

He scrutinized Yang Fei with a skeptical expression on his face.

"According to rumors in the Mortal World, the Martial God is generous and straightforward, far from being modest and low-key, even somewhat flamboyant and rascal-like..."

"Ahem, the actions of a true master always seem profound and inscrutable. Are you really the brother of the Martial God?"

Yang Fei's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained solemn and awe-inspiring.

"Although my brother is approachable, I still can't agree with you slandering him like this."

"Would you like to experience the might of the Yu Step?"

At that, Elder Qi immediately bowed his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I hold the utmost reverence for the Martial God; I certainly had no intention of showing disrespect."

Yang Fei then chuckled and casually waved his hand.

"Don't worry, my brother is broad-minded; he won't hold it against you."

Elder Qi looked at Yang Fei in surprise again.

"The rumor has it that the Martial God has a capricious and eccentric personality."

"Anyone who offends him, he will try every possible means to get revenge."

"That... doesn't really spell out broad-mindedness."

Yang Fei became furious, pointing at Elder Qi and swearing.

"If you dare to slander my brother again, do you believe I'll knock your teeth out?"

At this, the other three Great Elders immediately fell silent.

Elder Qi's eyes brightened, and he clapped his hands together.

"Right, that's exactly the temperament of the Martial God, just like Mr. Yang."

"Now I believe it. If you weren't brothers, how could your temperaments be so similar?"

Yang Fei was rendered speechless.

What on earth was this Martial God fellow like?

At this moment, the Five Banners Command Master, with the help of his disciples, approached Yang Fei.

Among the Five Banners Command Masters, the Black Eagle Envoy was the least injured, aided by one disciple.

The other four Commanders were severely injured and were being carried by the disciples.

The Black Eagle Envoy knelt before Yang Fei, prostrating himself on the ground in deep respect.

"Mr. Yang, we Five Banners Command Masters were blind and have offended you; please forgive us."

The other four Commanders also bowed their heads in respect from their disciples' backs towards Yang Fei.

Yang Fei felt a surge of joy in his heart, realizing that each of these Five Banners Command Masters was a scoundrel.

They were all beasts deserving of a beating.

Yet, his face showed a serene and indifferent demeanor.

"It's okay, I apologize for injuring you by accident."

The Black Eagle Envoy lay prostrated on the ground, his voice filled with immense trepidation.

"It was all our own fault. Had you not performed the miraculous Yu Step, revealing your identity, we would have continued making mistakes."

This was the second time Yang Fei had heard the name "Yu Step."

He thought to himself.

"Could it be that the step technique left behind in the Martial God Ruins is called the Yu Step?"

The Black Eagle Envoy, seeing Yang Fei's indifferent expression and receiving no response, grew even more apprehensive.

After hesitating, he carefully spoke.

"Ten years ago, my brothers and I, along with the Pavilion Master, went to the Zhonghai Drink Snow Tower to pay our respects to the Martial God."

"Unfortunately, we never met the Martial God, but he passed on this step technique, the Yu Step, to the Pavilion Master."

"The Pavilion Master also demonstrated it for us, but alas, we were too young at the time, and our Martial Arts Realms were not advanced enough to grasp the mysteries of the Yu Step."

Having said that, he stopped, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Now, we have witnessed the Yu Step reemerged in the world through you, sir."

"I have an impudent request... could you please demonstrate it for us once more?"
