Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1020: Defeat the Opponent Again

From the jade palm that Liu Qingqing slapped towards him, Chang Dengfeng felt a force of True Yuan that was no weaker than his own and couldn’t help being greatly surprised in his heart.

Chang Dengfeng originally thought that even if Liu Qingqing had made progress during the mountain training, she would definitely not be his match.

But now, as Chang Dengfeng truly faced Liu Qingqing, he suddenly realized that this beautiful girl, whom he had been fascinated with for a long time, had grown to a level on par with himself.

This discovery left Chang Dengfeng feeling surprised, yet also disheartened and dispirited.

No wonder he tried so hard to please her, Junior Sister Liu kept him at a distance of a thousand miles. It turned out that the strength he took pride in was no longer significant in her eyes.

And that Fang Bai, before the mountain training, had already defeated Yang Lin, who was ranked third among the Inner Court disciples in terms of combat strength, and it was said that he and Junior Sister Liu came from the same village, making them childhood sweethearts.

In terms of appearance, Fang Bai was no less attractive than himself and possessed an ineffable extraordinary aura, making him more popular among the female disciples.

In terms of Cultivation Level, Fang Bai was on par with himself, but clearly superior in combat strength.

In terms of potential in the Martial Dao, Fang Bai had a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root and a boundless future ahead, while he himself had only ordinary talent and, without a great opportunity, his path in the Martial Dao would likely end here.

In terms of familiarity, Liu Qingqing treated him like a stranger, yet exchanged glances and banter with Fang Bai on and off the dais...

Chang Dengfeng sadly realized that no matter what aspect he compared himself in, he was not as good as Fang Bai. To take Liu Qingqing away from Fang Bai, there was almost no hope.

If Fang Bai were not in the picture, perhaps he would have had a great chance of capturing Liu Qingqing’s heart, wouldn’t he?

So thought Chang Dengfeng to himself.

Seeing Liu Qingqing’s palm strike in front of him, Chang Dengfeng, who was secretly gathering strength, also struck out with his palm.

However, the difference was that Liu Qingqing’s strike was spontaneous, without any Martial Arts technique or full effort, while Chang Dengfeng gave it his all.

This was not because Chang Dengfeng did not cherish beauty and was ungentlemanly, but because Liu Qingqing’s casual palm strike put a lot of pressure on him. He felt that if he did not use all his strength, he probably wouldn’t be able to receive Liu Qingqing’s palm strike.

Moreover, Chang Dengfeng understood that if he were to be defeated, he wouldn’t only lose face but would also lose his position among the top ten combatants of the Inner Court disciples. Although he liked Liu Qingqing, he was not willing to give up everything for her just yet.

Chang Dengfeng’s Cultivation Level was one minor realm higher than Bai Zhiyuan, and thus his strength was naturally much greater. When their palms met, after a loud echo, the palm strength that sent Bai Zhiyuan flying did not shake Chang Dengfeng.

However, in his heart, Chang Dengfeng secretly cursed his luck.

The first clash of palms between the two seemed evenly matched, with neither being able to do anything to the other, but in reality, Chang Dengfeng took a big hidden loss.

After facing Liu Qingqing’s right palm, a wave of Water Element Qi beyond his imagination surged into his body like a deluge, rattling his blood, and a mouthful of fresh blood surged upwards, nearly spewing out on the spot. It was only by forcibly swallowing it back that he avoided embarrassment.

With just one move, Chang Dengfeng gained a new understanding of Liu Qingqing’s strength and no longer dared to underestimate this Junior Sister whose reputation was not prominent in the External Courtyard.

A delicate cry rang in his ears, a whiff of fragrance brushed past his nose, and Liu Qingqing’s right palm rose slightly, striking towards Chang Dengfeng once again.

It was still a casual palm strike, but the Water Element Qi contained in her palm seemed even more profound than the previous one.

Chang Dengfeng had just managed to suppress his surging blood and Qi and hadn’t yet had the chance to regulate his breath when, all of a sudden, a fair hand, delicate as jade, wielding formidable strength, rapidly enlarged in his pupils.

At the same time, the Martial Artist Aura emanating from Liu Qingqing transformed into an intangible oppressive force, enveloping Chang Dengfeng, making him feel as if he was trapped in a cage.

"Finished!"

Chang Dengfeng lamented in despair, his heart turning to ashes.

At that moment, Chang Dengfeng finally understood that Liu Qingqing’s strength exceeded his own by more than a measure.

It was laughable that just a moment ago, he had been contemplating how to show mercy to her after defeating her in order to win her favor.

Now, whether or not he would get injured was up to whether Liu Qingqing chose to show mercy.

Suddenly, Chang Dengfeng thought of Bai Zhiyuan; if he, like Bai Zhiyuan, was knocked down off the Stone Platform by Liu Qingqing, it would be too embarrassing to face anyone.

Chang Dengfeng was not one to easily give in and admit defeat. Knowing he could not counter Liu Qingqing’s palm, he did not resign himself to fate but instead, he concentrated all his strength into his right palm, filled with heroic resolve as he met Liu Qingqing’s palm.

Bang!

As their palms met again, Chang Dengfeng’s body shook, only to feel the Water Element Qi in Liu Qingqing’s palm like a colossal wave crashing over him. He couldn’t keep his footing and staggered back seven or eight steps before finally managing to steady himself, his feet already at the edge of the Stone Platform.

There was no earth-shattering force as he had expected, and his body did not fly backward to fall off the Stone Platform... Chang Dengfeng was momentarily stunned, the outcome he had imagined was not supposed to be like this.

When Chang Dengfeng looked up at Liu Qingqing, he noticed a slight softening in her indifferent expression. Her eyes, like twinkling stars, quietly observed him and she did not immediately launch another attack.

"Is she... showing me mercy? She must be waiting for me to concede," Chang Dengfeng mused, quickly surmising Liu Qingqing’s intention.

As a clever man, he wouldn’t let pride cloud his judgment. Thus, knowing that admitting defeat was embarrassing, but at least allowed for a graceful exit, he immediately spoke out loud, "Junior Sister Liu, I am defeated! I admire your strength!"

When Liu Qingqing saw that Chang Dengfeng understood her intention, she responded with a light smile and gave a fist salute, saying, "Senior Brother Chang, please forgive me for any offense!"

Chang Dengfeng’s lips moved, intending to say something more, but upon seeing Liu Qingqing’s suddenly indifferent gaze return, he ultimately restrained himself from speaking out, sighed, gave her a fist salute, and leaped off the Stone Platform.

With a single move, she defeated Bai Zhiyuan, and with two, she defeated Chang Dengfeng. Liu Qingqing’s successive victories won her clean and resounding success, earning the admiration and respect of many Martial Academy disciples.

After Chang Dengfeng jumped off the Stone Platform, thunderous applause erupted once more. Many Martial Academy disciples, disregarding the icy stare of Elder Tie Xing from the Enforcement Hall, shouted Liu Qingqing’s name loudly.

"The match between External Courtyard disciple Liu Qingqing and Inner Court disciple Chang Dengfeng, Liu Qingqing wins!"

Following the announcement of the result, Elder Tie Xing from the Enforcement Hall nodded towards Liu Qingqing, with a rare smile flickering at the corner of his mouth.

As an Elder devoted to the Bitao Martial Academy, seeing the emergence of a genius like Liu Qingqing made Tie Xing optimistic about the Martial Academy’s future rise, filling his heart with joy.

Both Liu Liehu and Liu Qingqing, having taken the platform in succession to issue challenges, easily defeated their opponents, leaving behind an impressive tale among the Martial Academy disciples. Many were thinking that this pair of siblings would surely make their mark in the Martial Academy in the future.
