"Is this kid the opponent for Master Wen Tian today?"
"What a joke. Does he even deserve to be Master Wen Tian's opponent? Isn't this an insult to Master Wen Tian?"
"I wonder what the arena is thinking, bringing such trash here!"
"Then there's no point. I thought we'd see an exciting duel."
"..."
Many people looked down on Li Se, primarily because Li Se didn't look like an expert at all.
Even the injured Wild Bear looked at Li Se with disdain. He himself had easily lost, let alone Li Se. Shaking his head, he said, "If I didn't have skill, I would have lost half my life with that fall. This kid going against Wen Tian will probably spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed."
"Haha..." Young Master Zhou quickly burst into laughter. "I can confirm now. This kid didn't sneak in; he can legitimately enter because he's here to get beaten!"
"Young Master Zhou, did this fellow offend Young Master Wang?" his female companion asked curiously.
"Probably. Otherwise, why would they let him challenge Wen Tian? Isn't this asking for death?" Young Master Zhou truly didn't believe Li Se could be Wen Tian's opponent. Going up there was asking for a beating, and he was very sure of his guess. Otherwise, Wang Pengxuan wouldn't have wasted so much time on this guy.
"Then it's really pitiful," the female companion said gleefully.
Seeing everyone's attention on him, Li Se remained incredibly calm. He looked up at Wen Tian and then, unhurriedly, walked towards the stage. Upon reaching the stage, he said, "If you surrender now, you can still enjoy your old age."
"Surrender?" Wen Tian couldn't help but be taken aback. He looked at the young man in front of him with surprise and amusement. How dare he ask him to surrender? Was this kid out of his mind?
"Pfft..."
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. He actually asked Master Wen Tian to surrender. I really don't know where he gets the courage. To dare ask Master Wen Tian to surrender, what an idiot."
"I think you're the one who should surrender. Can you even withstand one move from Master Wen Tian?"
"I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone this arrogant. Master Wen Tian, cripple him!!!"
"This is a guy who doesn't know his own limits!"
"..."
The scolding continued. After all, they knew Master Wen Tian's strength. He could easily defeat experts like Wild Bear, let alone this skinny fellow.
"Good kid, you're truly arrogant. To dare ask my teacher to surrender, do you think you're invincible?" Guo Liangjun was somewhat angry, mainly because Li Se was too presumptuous. This was his teacher, the founder of a sect, not just any expert.
Undeniably, Li Se did have some ability, but it wasn't enough to contend with his teacher. He sneered and said, "After you're crippled later, you'll probably regret what you're saying now."
Wang Pengxuan said, "Uncle, this kind of person is like this. They won't shed tears until they see the coffin. If you don't show them some consequences, they won't know that there are many people stronger than them. What a laughable fellow!"
Wang Pengxuan naturally only harbored hatred for Li Se. This morning, when he went to deliver the invitation, he was even slapped by this kid. Thinking about it made him furious!
"To dare hit Young Master Wang, and now to be so disrespectful to Master Wen Tian, it's best Master Wen Tian cripples him!" Pang Nuanmeng grumbled.
Seeing that Wen Tian remained unmoved, Li Se couldn't help but say, "What, you're unwilling to surrender?"
"Heh, kid, there's no one alive who can make me, Wen Tian, surrender. However, if you surrender, I might consider it. Of course, the prerequisite is that you cripple your own legs and arms!" Wen Tian was not at all provoked by Li Se's few words. In his opinion, this kind of person was all talk and little substance. The thought of his disciple losing to such a person made him feel ashamed.
"It seems you're unwilling to surrender," Li Se shook his head with some helplessness.
Wen Tian sneered, "If you're unwilling to cripple your own arms and legs, then I'll have to do it for you. It will be a hundred times more painful than crippling yourself!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Li Se acted as if he hadn't heard Wen Tian's words and asked very seriously, "Are you really sure you won't surrender?"
"Arrogant! Master Wen Tian, kill him!"
"Just cripple him directly!"
"Too arrogant, to dare to look down on Master Wen Tian like this!"
"I think many people have been annoyed by this kid. Look at his expression, as if if Master Wen Tian doesn't surrender, he'll be defeated. He thinks too highly of himself."
"He's not deceiving himself, is he? Does he really think he's an expert?"
"..."
Scoffs and curses continued to erupt. Clearly, many people couldn't stand Li Se's arrogance anymore.
"Enough nonsense. You're not qualified to make me surrender. But since you refuse to surrender, then wait to regret it!" Wen Tian coldly snorted, no longer wanting to waste words with Li Se. He stamped his foot, and his entire body shot forward like a cannonball. When he was only about two meters away from Li Se, he brought his palm down from above, striking directly towards Li Se's forehead.
An expert, this was truly an expert!
Wen Tian indeed had strength, and there was a hidden fluctuation of qi. Such a person was not someone ordinary people could handle. This palm strike could likely shatter stone.
Li Se didn't underestimate him. His true qi flowed, and he punched towards that palm strike, repelling it. Then, his left leg swept out. From throwing the punch to launching the kick, it was almost seamless, without the slightest hesitation. Moreover, the speed was so astonishing that it surprised Wen Tian.
But Wen Tian was no ordinary person. He had cultivated martial arts for many years, so he wouldn't lack such reaction speed. He met the attack with a leg of his own, clearly intending to go head-to-head with Li Se. This was a collision of power.
With a "bang," both Li Se and Wen Tian retreated a step. However, both immediately attacked again. With the clash of their fists and palms, they almost left only afterimages.
Under this collision, Wen Tian's complexion gradually became unsightly, even somewhat pale. He was in great pain because with every collision, he felt excruciating pain, as if he were colliding with rocks. Although his palm strike had the power to shatter stone, constantly colliding with stone made him uncomfortable.
Finally, when they separated by some distance, Wen Tian's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His arms and legs throbbed with pain. He truly hadn't expected that Li Se, who looked so frail, actually possessed such strength.
"Is that all?"
Li Se's disdainful voice rang out. He looked at Wen Tian and smiled, saying, "If you surrender now, I can let you go!"
