Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 226: Chapter 226 You Lost

Hua Xiangchen was utterly shocked.

The observation platform was already in an uproar!

“What a mistake! He actually knows palm techniques too?”

“I understand why Senior Brother Hua hides his palm techniques, because the Sect Master is best at palm techniques. It makes no sense for his top disciple to only practice swordsmanship.”

“But what’s with Jiang Fan? He also masters palm techniques?”

Yan Yuqing’s face was red with excitement.

Her Martial Uncle could hold his own against Hua Xiangchen with just swordsmanship, which already surprised her.

But what shocked her even more.

He actually had hidden moves!

The Supreme Sect Master and the elders couldn’t sit still anymore.

Especially the Supreme Sect Master.

He had thought that his top disciple would win for sure.

But what was the outcome?

They fought to a draw!

What shocked him most was that this kid had hidden palm techniques too, just like Hua Xiangchen!

“Have we found out yet?”

“Who exactly is this person?”

The Supreme Sect Master suddenly got nervous. Could it be that his prized disciple might lose?

The elders replied,

“We’re still investigating. We will have results soon.”

“It’s unbelievable. Where did this kid come from?”

“We haven’t heard of any such talented young disciple in the Nine-Sect!”

“Sect Master, don’t worry. Even though this person masters palm techniques, he is still no match for your disciple.”

“After all, Xiangchen’s palm techniques were meticulously taught by you.”

Hearing this,

The Supreme Sect Master felt slightly reassured.

He was very confident in Hua Xiangchen’s palm techniques.

But he didn’t know how this dual cultivator, a genius in both body and magic arts, fought.

At this moment.

On the stage, Hua Xiangchen’s feelings were complex.

He had thought Jiang Fan only knew body techniques.

But Jiang Fan showed his cultivation.

He had thought his swordsmanship would win.

But Jiang Fan demonstrated swordsmanship better than his own.

He had thought he had the upper hand with his palm techniques.

But Jiang Fan also showed palm techniques.

A deep sense of suffocation overwhelmed him.

He knew he had truly met a worthy rival!

This Jiang Fan was not the rumored talentless waste without Spirit Root.

On the contrary, he was terrifyingly strong!

If he didn’t get serious, he might actually lose.

Thinking of this, he focused as never before and said,

“Let me experience the power of your palm techniques!”

“One Leaf Fall!”

His palm movements were graceful, like a drifting leaf, unpredictable.

When it approached Jiang Fan, it turned into numerous illusions.

Making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake palms.

Earth-level advanced palm technique?

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed, gathering his breath, and countered with a palm!

“Shocking Dragon!”

As a profound high-level technique from the Void Ancient Tree,

Even though it was a high-level technique, its power was among the best of its level!

When both palms met, they bellowed like dragons.

As if two flood dragons roared.

A large number of illusory handprints shattered, revealing the real hands.

Boom——

The two collided head-on, creating a muffled blast.

Both retreated two steps from the impact.

Hua Xiangchen was greatly surprised!

Jiang Fan’s palm techniques turned out to be superior and more refined than his own?

He panicked a bit.

His proudest palm technique couldn’t prevail against him!

“Seven Stars to the Moon!”

He executed the second move.

Jiang Fan was not to be outdone.

“Dragon Control!”

An even fiercer palm strike countered.

This time, they were still evenly matched!

Hua Xiangchen was stunned!

He had used his full strength, yet he couldn’t overcome Jiang Fan?

He was the second strongest elite of the Supreme Sect, the Sect Master’s first disciple, the face of the Supreme Sect!

How could he lose to Jiang Fan?

Grinding his teeth, he decided to use spiritual power.

Even though Jiang Fan had palm techniques that matched his, cultivation was his fatal flaw!

So, he jumped up, launching a palm combat.

The Sect Master, elders, and disciples, who understood Hua Xiangchen’s intent,

All fell silent.

The dignified first disciple of the Sect Master had to rely on spiritual power to win?

Some didn’t know whether to say Jiang Fan was too strong, or the Supreme Sect was not as great as it seemed.

The Supreme Sect Master felt a bit embarrassed.

His proudest disciple had to bully a junior at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment with spiritual power to win.

Even if he won, it wouldn’t bring him joy.

The elder of Green Bamboo Peak consoled, “Don’t mind too much, Sect Master.”

“As long as we win, the face of our Supreme Sect is preserved.”

“As for the process… Winning is what matters, the rest doesn’t.”

All the elders felt that winning this way was dishonorable.

They all offered excuses for Hua Xiangchen.

“This person is dual cultivation in body and magic, and his swordsmanship and palm techniques are both above Hua Xiangchen.”

“Winning alone is impressive enough, regardless of the means.”

“Cultivation is the most important part of strength, there’s no shame in using spiritual power.”

At that moment on the stage.

Everyone believed that in the end, Hua Xiangchen would win.

In fact, Jiang Fan’s spiritual power was indeed rapidly depleting.

After two hundred moves.

He was showing signs of fatigue.

Hua Xiangchen’s eyes sharpened, seizing the opportunity. He struck with a palm and shouted,

“You’re bound to lose!”

Jiang Fan knew his palm technique couldn’t block this move.

Helplessly, he retracted his palm and said,

“Alright, I’ll switch to another technique then.”

As Hua Xiangchen’s palm came down, Jiang Fan gathered his remaining spiritual power.

His gaze sharpened, he joined his index and middle fingers, and pointed out instantly.

“Purple Energy Comes from the East!”

Earth-level finger technique, the second move of the “Heavenly Ruined Finger.”

Its power far surpassed the first move.

In an instant!

A beam of purple light shot out from his finger, striking Hua Xiangchen’s incoming palm!

With a puff!

Hua Xiangchen’s palm was instantly pierced by the purple light!

The purple light continued unabated, forcing Hua Xiangchen to retreat repeatedly.

He retreated all the way off the platform!

The judge immediately shouted, “Hua Xiangchen has stepped out of bounds!”

“The victor is Jiang Fan!”

After saying this, the judge quickly dashed over.

He swiftly drew his Mysterious Iron Black Blade, blocking the purple light heading towards Hua Xiangchen’s chest.

Clang——

The Mysterious Iron Black Blade trembled greatly.

The impact caused the judge’s palm to bleed.

The sudden conclusion left everyone on the observation platform stunned.

Hua Xiangchen, lost?

The second strongest of the Supreme Sect, the Sect Master’s first disciple, lost just like that?

The disciples looked on, feelings of sorrow and unwillingness swelling in their eyes.

Their big senior brother lost to an outsider!

Some of the female disciples even shed tears.

Yan Yuqing was also stunned.

She had thought her Martial Uncle was strong, but not expected, just when she thought he was about to lose.

He unexpectedly executed an extremely strange and powerful finger technique!

“Was this Martial Uncle’s true strength?”

Yan Yuqing’s beautiful eyes glowed intensely.

Unbeknownst to her.

This was merely a sparring match.

In a real mortal combat, Hua Xiangchen would have long been like Elder Tie, dead under the Purple Sword.

There would have been no chance for a fight of two hundred moves.

This fact.

Hua Xiangchen didn’t know either.

He stood outside the stage, his gaze lost.

He felt the world spinning.

Everything seemed so unreal.

He actually lost.

Lost to a Green Cloud Sect disciple without Spirit Root?

He was the top disciple of the Supreme Sect.

Everyone in the sect looked up to him!

He couldn’t lose!

“I accidentally stepped out of bounds. Let’s go again!”

Hua Xiangchen stared at Jiang Fan, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

The judge stopped him, “There’s no need to compete again.”

“You cannot beat him.”

He raised his Mysterious Iron Black Blade.

The blood from his palm covered much of the blade.

It was quite glaring.

But what was more glaring was.

A purple melted dent on the blade.

This made Hua Xiangchen’s pupils contract dramatically!
