The surface of the lake was rippling with emerald waves. It had been calm originally, but with every punch that hit its mark, waves began to roll was an ocean, not a lake. Droplets of water shot to the shore, splashing on quite a few people’s clothes, but this didn’t catch anyone’s attention, because everyone’s focus was on the two figures on the lake. Those two engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the lake’s surface, equally matched in skill and strength. Swish, swish, swish... A section of the water rose up like a tongue of the lake, curling in the air, attempting to swallow everything. Yet no matter how high the waves surged, they couldn’t approach the two figures. A mysterious force repelled them, keeping them at bay. Luo Tian made a hand maneuver, suddenly grasping onto Ye Qiu’s arm. A cold laugh escaped from Luo Tian’s lips, and then a powerful force followed Luo Tian’s hand, rushing into Ye Qiu’s body. Ye Qiu’s muscles tensed momentarily as he immediately expelled this force from his body. Then, with a swift turn, he shifted from being passive to taking the initiative, capturing his opponent. "Feel my strength too." Ye Qiu unleashed a force that charged through Luo Tian’s body, aiming to wreak havoc from within. "Just a trifling technique." Luo Tian remained unperturbed. Instead of forcibly expelling this power like Ye Qiu, he directly activated his cultivation technique to absorb it, transforming it into his own strength. Ye Qiu was slightly surprised, not expecting Luo Tian’s move to be so extraordinary. "How about my Gluttonous Technique?" Luo Tian asked indifferently. That move, known as the Gluttonous Technique, operated his cultivation technique. Within his body, it was like a glutton, capable of devouring everything. No wonder Ye Qiu’s power dissipated without even creating a ripple. Luo Tian laughed loudly: "The Gluttonous Technique is a top-tier sacred technique of our Great Luo Tian. Now do you understand the gap between you and me?" "Top-tier sacred technique?" Ye Qiu wasn’t clear on the concept of this technique’s rank, but seeing Luo Tian’s expression, it must be a highly advanced technique, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so proud. "To convert others’ strength into one’s own, truly a unique technique." Ye Qiu admitted the effectiveness of this move. Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Luo Tian replied with a faint smile: "Since you know this, how can you fight with me? Kneel immediately, and I’ll spare you." Ye Qiu chuckled lightly and continued: "What of top-tier sacred techniques? Wanting me to kneel before you, you’re still far from that goal." With that, Ye Qiu directly unleashed ’Endless.’ Hundreds of attacks appeared before Luo Tian, and as they were unleashed, the entire lake boiled, fish leaping out from the water. On the shimmering surface of the lake, it looked like boiling hot water, leaving the fish restless. The people on the shore were dumbfounded. The sight before them was somewhat magical, schools of fish jumping out of the water, very agitated. And to everyone’s astonishment, Ye Qiu casually threw a punch without even touching Luo Tian, yet Luo Tian was busy with all sorts of defensive maneuvers, standing there, constantly flailing around. The scene was exceedingly comical. "What is this..." Many people didn’t understand, nor could they see clearly. Had Luo Tian fallen into a hallucination? Get full chapters from novel·fire.net Not only others, but even Qingyun Saint Son and Beikun Saint Son, who were watching from the side, were equally bewildered. "What did this guy do?" Both were puzzled. However, Luo Tian’s state made them reevaluate their perception of Ye Qiu, making them wary. Luo Tian, among the three strongest, even he ended up in such a plight, what if it were them instead? With this thought, their gaze towards Ye Qiu became much more complex. Had they truly underestimated this person? This native is far more difficult to deal with than imagined. Many people didn’t understand, but that didn’t mean everyone failed to grasp the nuances within. Among the clouds, a woman stood, observing the battle on the lake with a clear view. This woman had flowing long hair, graceful and enchanting, rivaling Shangguan Mingyue’s beauty. However, she possessed a different kind of allure. Shangguan Mingyue possessed an otherworldly beauty, while this woman’s beauty was a captivating elegance of ethereal charm and mesmerizing charisma. "What a mystical punch, to be able to refine martial arts to such a level. It’s hard to imagine he’s just a native!" the woman marveled, her gaze showing a hint of admiration for Ye Qiu. "What’s all this talk about natives? If you were in the same environment, you’d have been knocked down by this young man ages ago." Just as the woman was marveling, a sudden voice broke through, not far from her. The woman was startled, realizing she had been standing there for so long without noticing there was someone nearby. Moreover, judging by the tone, the person seemed to be speaking in favor of Ye Qiu. Could this be another native powerhouse? Since when did natives become so strong? In the woman’s surprised gaze, a little girl appeared before her, holding a Capital City roast duck, her lips greasy from eating, arrogantly tilting her little head. So young? The woman thought she was mistaken, encountering just a little girl? "What are you staring at? Haven’t seen a beauty before?" the little girl said. The woman couldn’t help but smile at the little girl’s words: "Kid, talking to your elder sister like that, be careful or she’ll spank your butt." Before the woman finished speaking, a duck leg suddenly flew towards her. The woman intended to deflect it, but the greasy duck leg seemed to have a mind of its own, suddenly curving and accurately hitting the woman’s chest. The little girl hummed: "Who do you think you are, calling yourself elder sister? I’m more like your granny." The woman was infuriated by the little girl, especially after the duck leg rolled around her chest, leaving a circle of grease, completely disrupting her aura. "Whose child are you anyway? I really need to teach your parents a lesson about family discipline." The woman was exasperated, never having been bullied by a girl before. The little girl was not one to back down, already displeased with the talk about natives, said: "Your granny ought to teach you instead." So, the two women, one large and one small, began their skirmish in the air. For a while, the clash of energies almost overshadowed the duel between Ye Qiu and Luo Tian on the lake. Meanwhile, in order to fend off the ’Endless,’ Luo Tian continuously launched a series of attacks, until the energy fluctuations from the sky transmitted down, allowing him to finally break free from the barrage. It was then that Luo Tian heard sounds of astonishment, afterwards noticing several pairs of eyes on him with strange expressions. "What just happened to me?" Luo Tian looked sharply at Ye Qiu. He realized he must have embarrassed himself; otherwise, why would people show such looks? "Damn native!" Luo Tian gritted his teeth, unleashing his fierce aura once again.
