Chapter 2151 - 2140: Conceding the First Battle

"Roar!"

Just at the moment Dongfang Ziyue paused, the sturdy man seized the opportunity and swiftly rushed towards her, a fierce iron fist swooping down with a whistling punch.

"Sister, watch out!"

Dongfang Xiaohuang, emotionally stirred by the thrilling battle, sprang from her seat, tightly clenching her small hands, fearful that her sister might suffer a big loss at the hands of the strong man.

"Yue’er!" Dongfang Haoxuan stood up as well, his mood extremely intense.

"Bang!"

The whistling iron fist collided fiercely once more with the longsword in Dongfang Ziyue’s hand, instantly erupting a powerful wave between them. The strong punch wind almost shattered the longsword in Dongfang Ziyue’s hand in an instant, the overwhelming wave surged forward, forcing Dongfang Ziyue to retreat rapidly, afraid the wave would harm her.

"Clang~"

When the last sword hilt in Dongfang Ziyue’s hand was shattered by the fierce wave, all the civil and military officials present, including the Emperor Liu Fatty, stood up, their hearts clenched with worry for Dongfang Ziyue.

Meanwhile, the two Duchy envoys looked arrogantly, their contemptuous gaze seemed to convey to everyone in Lianyun Empire that their cultivators were just the same, not even as good as those from smaller nations, they’d hardly qualify as an empire.

The glances from the Duchy envoys displeased many officials and Liu Fatty from Lianyun Empire.

"Little girl, come again, take another punch from your brother!"

At this moment, the sturdy man sneered coldly, waving his fist to attack Dongfang Ziyue again. Faced with such a powerful punch, Dongfang Ziyue was empty-handed without longsword, how could she be his opponent?

"You!" Dongfang Ziyue was furious, a Sub-Saint realm peerless master unable to withstand even a single person from a small Duchy, it made Dongfang Ziyue’s face flushed and embarrassed.

In haste, she gritted her teeth, made a sudden move, clenched her small fist, braced her head, and punched it together with the iron fist of the sturdy man.

"Pop!"

This punch, Dongfang Ziyue almost used all her Elemental Power, crack... the air around her seemed to become heavier at once, even the ground underfoot cracked.

The immense force seemed to make Dongfang Ziyue hit a rock, her arm went numb, several bones in her fist cracked, swish~

Dongfang Ziyue took the opportunity to retreat, eventually leaping into the air, her graceful body continuously spinning in the void, landing safely and steadily, yet her hand trembled uncontrollably.

The sturdy man squinted his eyes, grinned, especially staring confidently at Dongfang Ziyue’s trembling arm.

"No, I can’t keep fighting; I’m already injured, further combat will worsen my wounds, fearing I won’t recover soon, and this guy before me is of immense power, even at my best I may not defeat him, now I can only leave with regret." Dongfang Ziyue muttered inwardly.

Understanding it best, Dongfang Ziyue comprehended she shouldn’t suffer immediate losses, thus to protect herself now, she had no other choice.

"Hehe, little girl, come again!" The sturdy man grinned broadly, evidenced hadn’t had enough of the fight.

Those lustful eyes unabashedly scanned Dongfang Ziyue’s enchanting figure.

"I’m not your match, I lost." Dongfang Ziyue, not even sparing a glance at the sturdy man, turned and walked off the Martial Arts Arena.

"What’s going on here, just admitting defeat like this?"

People around were utterly puzzled, could it be Dongfang Ziyue was defeated this miserably? It didn’t seem plausible.

The entire Martial Arts Arena was abuzz, knowing Dongfang Ziyue was the pride of Lianyun Empire, revered by Emperor Liu Fatty, inspiring many to learn from her, but now? Learn what upon seeing this, Dongfang Ziyue admitting defeat just like that?

Smoothly, without hesitation, surprised everyone, she hadn’t fought till the end; it wasn’t clear who’d win.

Numerous gazes fell on Dongfang Haoxuan’s face, which didn’t appear well, but he seemed to understand something. Lin Zifeng severely injured his daughter that night, estimating her injuries hadn’t healed; moreover, his daughter was wise, recognizing an unbeatable opponent even with half the chance to win, she wouldn’t take the risk.

After all, being the pride of heaven, her future was long and limitless; why mind this trivial competition?

"Sis, Sister actually admitted defeat." Dongfang Xiaohuang blinked, in her impression, sister was very proud, never having anyone make her admit defeat like this, unexpectedly before the fight finished, sister just conceded, was surprisingly quick.

"Really, truly conceding like this? Not even trying more?" Even the Emperor felt speechless.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Haoxuan quickly responded with a smile: "Yue’er is too tired these days, probably rushed in cultivating, moreover in a few days she has to attend the conference at Beiyao Ancient Clan, so she must reserve some Elemental Power."

"Oh, is that so, then it’s all right, losing the first match doesn’t matter, as long as the next two rounds aren’t lost there’s no problem." Liu Fatty smiled noddingly.

"I don’t quite see it that way, Emperor. Quickly conceding the first round, doesn’t it harm the face of Lianyun Empire? Though I don’t quite understand the plight of the National Guardian Martial God’s daughter, conceding quickly once on stage seems to neglect this competition."

Situ Xuanwen next to him didn’t quite agree, last time Lin Zifeng beat his son, didn’t openly apologize, played a trick, when Situ father and son returned home thought, damn, fell victim.

Now, he’s entirely displeased with the Dongfang Family, seeking an outlet.

"Situ Xuanwen what do you mean by this?" Dongfang Haoxuan became somewhat displeased, knowing people may criticize him but shouldn’t criticize his daughter, that greatly displeased him.

"Nothing meaningful, just losing the first match like this utterly, next competitions might pressure participants." Situ Xuanwen sneered.

Dongfang Haoxuan restrained his anger, didn’t burst out, but his fists clenched tightly, despite caring for his daughter, losing the first battle like this was excessively disappointing.

"Emperor, who will you choose for the next competitions?"

Just then, the two Duchy envoys stepped forward, bowing with cold smiles, their arrogant demeanor displeased all civil and military officials from Lianyun Empire, seen arrogance before but not this kind of arrogance.
