“Decide the winner with a single move?” At first, Xie Xun was stunned when he heard Ye Weiming’s suggestion. Then he frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Ye Weiming took his sword out of his sheath as he said in a calm tone, “I will only make one move. Senior, if you can receive the move without evading it, I will lose. You can do anything to me after that and I will not furrow my brows at all.”

“You want to defeat me with just one move?” Xie Xun couldn’t help but size up Ye Weiming when he heard this. “What an arrogant young fellow! Even if that old priest Zhang Sanfeng comes personally, I will be able to receive a single blow by him! I will give you one more chance. You should change your method.”

“No!” Ye Weiming shook his head with resolution. “Just one move! However, I need some time to prepare my move. Elder, you can’t interrupt me during my preparation.”

“Okay!” Xie Xun laughed heartily, “Whether you win or lose today, I will remember you. If you can use one move to force me to dodge or take even half a step back, I will raise your reward by a level!”

“Thank you for your kindness.” As he spoke, Ye Weiming retracted his smile and started moving his internal energy into the longsword in his hand. Under the stimulation of his internal energy, the Dragon Spring Sword gave off a clear and pleasant sound.

At the same time, Ye Weiming started calculating with his left hand.

Daizhong Way, activate!

The moment Ye Weiming entered his calculative state, Xie Xun felt a sense of fear creeping up on him. It had been a while since he had this feeling. His instinct told him that this young fellow’s next move wasn’t a move to be trifled with. The best way to avert this crisis was to kill him with a single palm before he attacked!

But, they had already agreed on the rules before this so Xie Xun couldn’t do something so shameless. He had no choice but to suppress his desire to attack and increased his vigilance simultaneously to prepare for the challenge ahead.

On the other side, Yin Bukui’s eyes widened when he saw Ye Weiming’s movement. He exclaimed in astonishment, “Daizhong Way!”

This fellow was really a fan of the original novel!

When they were on the boat, Ye Weiming already had his suspicion. Before speaking to Yin Bukui, Ye Weiming asked Zhang Cuishan about the origins of the Flying Eagle Cult. Zhang Cuishan knew nothing about it. He didn’t even know who the leader of the Flying Eagle Cult was. However, the moment Ye Weiming stepped out, Yin Bukui started telling him about the Flying Eagle Cult, the four guardians of the Ming Cult, and even specially told him the background information of Golden Lion Xie Xun.

Now, this fellow recognized Daizhong Way with just a single look!

Who would believe that he wasn’t a fan of the original novel?

However, the background of ‘Eternal Justice’ was Wuxia and not Naruto. Getting distracted during a battle was equivalent to asking for death. Thus, Ye Weiming blocked all his other thoughts and focused on calculating math questions!

The difficulty of the math questions didn’t change when he used the Daizhong Way on Xie Xun. At first, Ye Weiming was worried that the system would give him ten calculus questions but it didn’t happen. However, there seemed to be an increase in the number of questions they gave. In the past, he was able to activate Daizhong Way with just ten questions. Now, after completing the 13th question, it still wasn’t activated yet.

But, Ye Weiming was anxious at all.

Xie Xun wouldn’t attack him voluntarily and there was no time limit for him to activate Daizhong Way. So, he could just slowly calculate.

To ensure the accuracy of his calculation, Ye Weiming double-checked after each calculation. He would only hand over the answer after confirming that it was right. He was extremely careful.

Time passed slowly. Besides Xie Xun, even Yin Bukui was starting to get a little impatient.

If the activation time for this sutra was so long every single time, the Daizhong Way, which was said to be even more powerful that ‘Nine Swords of Dugu’, was really of little value, right?

The truth was, it was really something quite useless!

Five minutes later, Ye Weiming finished his 24th question.

Seven minutes later, Ye Weiming finished his 32nd question.

Nine minutes later, Xie Xun was already very impatient. “Young fellow, are you going to make your move or not?”

Ye Weiming ignored him and continued calculating his 41st question. He felt a little irritated at Xie Xun’s questioning so he frowned and started calculating out loud, “3×7=21, 8×8=64, 7×9=…”

After changing from mental calculation to verbal calculation, his efficiency seemed to have increased a little?

Twelve minutes later, Xie Xun finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Brat, didn’t you say that you don’t want to waste my time? However, the preparation time you take for this move is enough for me to fight ten other people!”

Ye Weiming: “…9×9=81, 1+7=8, 8-6=…”

Just as Xie Xun’s patience reached its limit, Ye Weiming finally completed the 49th math question!

The active effects of Daizhong Way were finally activated successfully!

“It’s done!” The moment he said this, Ye Weiming stabbed his sword forward. He was still using the most vicious move of the ‘Sword of the Yue Maiden’, ‘Beauty Of A Sick Lady’.

But, this time, the power of this move was not at a level a lackluster sword skill should have. When he made his move, his energy, Qi, and focus were all congregated at the tip of his sword. He seemed to have merged with his sword.

The foundation of Daizhong Way was calculation. It wasn’t just about calculating your enemy. You had to calculate the environment around you as well as the angle, position, every inch of your muscle, every part of your meridians, every piece of bone, and every string of internal energy when you made your move!

This was the only way to make sure that when your sword stabbed out, your move was perfect. It was able to convert one part of strength into ten parts of power!

This was the kind of attack that could defeat your opponent in a single blow by targeting their weakness!

Xie Xun’s eyes widened when he saw Ye Weiming’s seemingly simple yet almost perfect move. In an instant, more than ten ways of retaliation appeared in his mind, But, he rejected all of them within a split second.

Looking through all the kung fu he learned before, Xie Xun realized in fear that there was not one move he could use to resist his opponent’s ordinary-looking attack!

Don’t even talk about resisting it. He couldn’t even evade it!

What should he do?

Xie Xun was still Xie Xun. At the crucial moment, he roared in anger. A strong energy surged out of his body instantly. Then, he raised his fist and received Ye Weiming’s blade directly without evading.

Before the blade reached him, the surging energy had already gushed over along with the wind from the fist. It smashed into the sharpest point of the Dragon Spring Sword.

“Crack!”

Due to the strong and oppressive energy, the Dragon Spring Sword shattered into pieces. This blue item was actually unable to resist Xie Xun’s fist. It broke into seven pieces. After it cracked, the seven pieces started flying everywhere at an extremely high speed. Some shot into the air while others sunk into the ground below the wooden platform. One of the pieces pierced through Yin Bukui’s ribs coincidentally. He just returned to full health but he lost health again.

The person who received the most damage was Ye Weiming. He felt as though his body was struck by lightning. He was directly flung off the arena because of the fist. When he landed on the ground, he couldn’t help but vomit a mouthful of blood. A bright red number floated above his head.

-567!

This fist reduced Ye Weiming’s health to such a low state!

He shook his head and climbed up from the ground. Ye Weiming gave a bitter smile and said, “Senior, your skill is really invincible. I have lost.”

“No!” There was only astonishment in Xie Xun’s gaze. He shook his head lightly and continued, “I should be the loser. Take a look at my attributes and you will understand.”

Ye Weiming raised his head and saw the information above Xie Xun’s head…

Xie Xun

Known to the pugilistic world as Golden Lion. His abilities are unfathomable.

Level: ???

Health: ???/???

Internal energy: ???/???

Kung fu: ???

“Just now, your move was indeed very powerful. I couldn’t receive it and I couldn’t even evade it. To protect myself, I could only release the suppression on my level and attributes. I have broken the rules so you’re the winner!”

“I have killed many people in my life. I have snatched many martial arts scriptures from people too. What do you want to learn? You can tell me!”

“I have to remind you that your reward is limited to an intermediate martial arts scripture.” After saying that, he pointed at Yin Bukui on the other side. “His reward is limited to a beginner martial arts scripture.”

“If you give any unreasonable demands, I have the right to cancel your rewards. You can speak now.”
