In the Yellow Dragon Temple, within Genbu Hall, a familiar training room favored by Fan Xinglou, several figures were present at this moment.
Fang Li stood at the center, gripping the Moonlight Dagger, his gaze sweeping across the room.
Surrounding him were Wu Xiaofei, Zhao Hufeng, Cecily, Li Shenyun, and Li Shenhua, each taking their positions to form a formation encircling Fang Li.
Wu Xiaofei stood directly opposite him, a long staff firmly in hand. He stared at Fang Li, exuding a powerful aura, like a flood dragon rising from the depths of the sea—robust and formidable.
Sensing the overwhelming presence radiating from Wu Xiaofei, Fang Li realized that his friend had grown even stronger.
As Fang Li contemplated this, Zhao Hufeng and Cecily exchanged glances, while Li Shenyun and Li Shenhua also shared a knowing look. Then, the four of them stepped forward simultaneously, releasing their own auras.
While their combined presence was not as strong as Wu Xiaofei's, it was still formidable and not to be underestimated.
Faced with such imposing auras, few in this battle city could remain unfazed.
Yet Fang Li was one of those rare exceptions.
"Alright."
Enduring the powerful auras from all directions, Fang Li slowly lifted the corner of his mouth and spoke.
"Feel free to attack; don't hold back."
His calm demeanor caused the expressions of the Li siblings to shift slightly, and Zhao Hufeng and Cecily's faces also took on a serious tone.
Only Wu Xiaofei maintained a blank expression throughout.
Then, he was the first to act.
"Shuā..."
With a whisper of wind, Wu Xiaofei produced several talismans.
"Chī————!"
Almost simultaneously, Zhao Hufeng darted forward, his figure transforming into a blurred shadow. Gathering sparks of Prana beneath his feet, he converted it all into explosive power, displaying astonishing speed as he shot toward Fang Li like a bullet.
Before Fang Li arrived in this world, Zhao Hufeng had been known as the fastest among the Six Great Academies.
Thus, with Wu Xiaofei's movement as a signal, Zhao Hufeng launched a surprise attack, hurtling toward Fang Li.
"Break!"
Accompanied by a shout filled with determination, Zhao Hufeng spun around, creating a fierce whirlwind. His legs rotated in front and behind, generating two blurred black shadows that whistled as they struck Fang Li from both sides.
The attack was incredibly swift.
However, to Fang Li, who was also a speed type and had far surpassed Zhao Hufeng, the speed of these two leg strikes was still too slow and easily caught.
"Bang————!"
A deep, muffled sound echoed in the hall.
Fang Li retreated a step, his feet moving swiftly like the wind. As the two leg strikes swung toward him, he kicked out powerfully at a precise moment.
The two leg strikes were originally coming in a crescent shape.
As they swung in from both sides, their front ends would converge at a certain point— where Fang Li stood.
Thus, Fang Li stepped back, allowing the two crescent-shaped leg strikes to swing to the spot he had just vacated, and kicked out at that moment.
He struck both leg strikes perfectly.
"Ugh...!"
The powerful force surged forth like a flood, causing Zhao Hufeng to tremble, as if he had been struck and was violently pushed back several steps.
However, just as Zhao Hufeng was being pushed back, a sharp voice rang out.
"Urgent as the law commands! Choku!"
That was Cecily's voice.
Hearing this, Fang Li knew what would happen next. His figure suddenly accelerated to the limit in an instant, transforming into a black line as if traversing through space, disappearing from sight.
In the next second, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the spot where Fang Li had just been.
"Bang bang bang bang bang————!"
The lightning striking the ground triggered a series of explosions, creating a blast wave that turned into a storm, mixed with terrifying shockwaves, sweeping outward and expanding dozens of meters away.
Fang Li's figure seemed to appear just at the edge of the blast wave, his feet nimbly tapping the ground, gliding along the incoming force like a leaf.
Cecily excelled in Lightning System Seisenjutsu, and each strike represented incredible destructive power.
However, having teamed up with Cecily during the "Phoenix Festa," Fang Li was very familiar with her abilities, so he naturally wouldn't be caught off guard.
This was also the consideration of the others.
"I knew it from the start..."
"You absolutely will see through it..."
Two figures suddenly burst forth in front of and behind Fang Li.
In front was Li Shenyun.
Behind was Li Shenhua.
It was as if they had jumped directly from another space, with the Li siblings appearing as if by teleportation, one mixed in the blast wave and the other hidden in Fang Li's shadow, both wearing triumphant smiles as they launched a pincer attack on him.
Faced with this scene, Fang Li merely squinted his eyes and then directly ignored the fierce attack coming from Li Shenyun, suddenly turning to confront Li Shenhua.
"Pa!"
With a crisp sound, Fang Li caught the punch thrown with all of Li Shenhua's strength with a raised palm.
"Chī!"
Behind Fang Li, Li Shenyun, who had rushed over with a triumphant smile, passed right through Fang Li's body as if he had no substance, disappearing like a mirage after shaking a few times.
Li Shenyun was merely a phantom.
Li Shenhua was the real body.
This pair of siblings was particularly skilled in Illusion Techniques.
Li Shenyun excelled at creating phantoms, while Li Shenhua specialized in invisibility.
It was precisely because Li Shenyun was only a phantom that he suddenly appeared in front of Fang Li.
It was because Li Shenhua was invisible that he could sneak up behind Fang Li and suddenly appear.
"Too bad, I still saw through it."
Fang Li firmly grasped Li Shenhua's fist, effortlessly tossing him aside.
In that split second, a sound of breaking space echoed.
Wu Xiaofei transformed into a black shadow, suddenly leaping in front of Fang Li, as if he had been charging up for a long time. With a spin of his long staff, the surrounding air seemed to be shredded, creating a sonic boom as the staff, sharp as a spear, thrust toward Fang Li's chest with great force.
This was the true killing move.
Faced with this strike, Fang Li suddenly glimmered.
"Bang————!"
Surging Prana ignited from his body, ready to counter the attack.
