The two Stewards looked at Si Qingyu’s actions. Their hearts filled with sighs and admiration, as they glanced at Si Jiahao, who was crying and clutching the arm of a middle-aged man. They shook their heads, “This time, please take

care of yourself, sir.”

Si Qingyu shook off his son’s hand and addressed the two Stewards, “Thank you both.”

He knew all too well that his chances in the ring were slim. He hadn’t even reached the unity of spirit and intent required in the Mortal Realm. Moreover, facing an arrow that was as fast as a gliding light, he really could not think of a way to break it. This battle was a certain death.

However, he affectionately tousled Si Jiahao’s head and patted his shoulder. He couldn’t just let his son die before his eyes, could he? Thus, this fight, he had to bear it for him. Si Qingyu walked towards the stage, his face grim, but his

strides were casual.

“Father! Don’t go!!” Si Jiahao wailed, trying to hold onto Si Qingyu but was restrained by the two Stewards.

“What are you doing! Let go of me, get away, get away!” Si Jiahao exerted his Spiritual Power, attempting to shake off the two men but was touched on the spine by one of the Stewards. His Spiritual Power and strength instantly dispersed, and he collapsed.

The Steward, who immobilized him, impassively said: “Boy, remember how

your father faced the stage. He is a real hero.”

A hero is a weak man who bravely brandishes his sword even though he knows he is no match. He does so to protect what is in his heart, even if it means death, there are no regrets.

For Si Qingyu, who was on the stage, Si Jiahao was what he needed to protect.

That’s why he was so composed.

Si Jiahao was held up by the two men, biting his lips tightly. His eyes filled with uncontrollable tears. He could only see a blurred figure walking towards the place that was supposed to be his own grave.

At this moment, he hated his impulsiveness and ignorance because he knew that he was the one who caused his father s death!

standing on the stage, Yuan Zhunhun gathered everything into his hawk-like eyes, watching Si Qingyu step by step onto the stage.

“You’re courageous. Just that your son is not quite as good.” Yuan Zhun spoke out of character.

Si Qingyu activated his body-shielding technique, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said nothing.

At this moment, what was essential was not to examine right from wrong, but to how to face this mighty warrior who had created a name for himself in just one day. So far, he had only seen the opponent’s swift arrow and even that arrow gave a sense of powerlessness.

The second challenge finally began.

Si Qingyu did not stop in place but dashed towards Yuan Zhun, shifting from left to right. The afterimages he left behind made it seem as if there were multiple versions of him existing at the same time.

Yuan Zhun’s indifferent falcon-like gaze focused solely on Si Qingyu, his arrow taken from its quiver and strung on his bow. The Falling Star bow strung into a full moon, the chilling arrowhead was pointed right at Si Qingyu’s throat. The afterimages did not affect his judgment. He loosened his fingers and the arrow disappeared from the string of the falling star bow with an explosive sound.

It was still the same move, “Gliding Light Piercing Shadow,” and still the same amazingly fast arrow!

Si Qingyu, who was dodging at high speed, felt as if time started to slow down. Not until he faced this arrow did he realize how naive his plans were. If he could still see a trace of gliding light from the observation platform, he didn’t see anything on the stage. The arrow seemed to have disappeared completely.

He couldn’t think of a way to evade it or use a killing move to stop it because he didn’t believe he had any technique to stop an arrow that was too fast to see.

The only thing he could do was to defend. He felt a tingling sensation in his throat. He was certain that Yuan Zhun’s arrow was still aimed at his throat.

Si Qingyu concentrated his Spiritual Power onto his arms, cross-guarding them in front of his neck. His reaction was not slow, his speed could even be described as quick.

Not many people could make such a desperate move, but it was still in vain, just as he completed his blocking motion, Gliding Light Piercing Shadow penetrated his arms. Then his throat was hit hard. The extreme speed brought tremendous power. This force knocked him hard on the ground, and he immediately lost consciousness!

“Am I going to die?” An idea flickered in Si Qingyu’s mind as he fell to the ground, lying flat on his back.

It was only after a few seconds that he felt the severe pain in his arms and the taste of blood in his throat. With a “spit” sound, Si Qingyu spat out a mouthful of blood into the sky.

He tried to use his hands to wipe it, but saw that his arms had been pierced through. Two horrifying holes appeared on his forearms where the bone and flesh were all gone.

“He-—- He    He!!!” he wanted to wail, but he could only make a dumb

beast-like hiss.

After a single arrow, Si Qingyu was on the brink of death without any strength to continue the fight.

Si Jiahao looked at his father’s agonized state and was stupefied for a while. The immense fear seemed to freeze him, and he could not even breathe.

Just when everyone was certain that Si Qingyu would die from the next arrow, Yuan Zhun retracted his bow, except it over his chest, and said to the man on the ground, “You have already taken one arrow from me. Do you want to continue challenging the Xu Clan’s current representative of this generation!?” The whole arena suddenly fell silent. Even Si Qingyu opened his eyes. He sat up, looking incredulously at Yuan Zhun.

So… all he needed to do was to take one arrow1.?

The crowd burst into exclamations, thinking that one only needed to knock down this arrow demon. If it was just about taking one arrow, there were many in the arena who could do it!

But Si Qingyu did not think about any of that. He only felt as if he had survived a calamity, and he was stunned.

Yuan Zhun looked at him, frowning and asked again, “Do you want to challenge the Xu Clan’s current representative of this generation!?

At the second call, Si Qingyu finally snapped back to reality, shaking his head desperately. The downcast Si Jiahao also recovered from his immobilized state, and shouted, “We will not continue the challenge! We don’t want to continue the challenge, we want to leave!”

As he said this, he tumbled and crawled onto the stage and tore his clothes to bandage Si Qingyu’s hands, lifting him up in one motion.

Yuan Zhun ignored Si Jiahao’s actions and told the crowd, “Next!”

This time, dozens of warriors flew down from the audience, heading toward sign-up point!

Initially, they thought one needed to defeat Yuan Zhun to meet the white-robed young master. They maliciously believed this arrow demon was the backbone of this fighting arena challenge. The white-robed young master was just there to accumulate fame.

After all, they could not believe this young man in his early twenties was capable of much, even if he had started cultivating right from his mother’s womb, there’s a limit. Hence, they only aimed to block Yuan Zhun’s one arrow, then beat up the white-robed swordsman to expose the lies of this challenge.

After all, those who jumped down from the audience stand were all strong characters who had reached the peak unity of spirit and intent in the Mortal Realm. They were very confident in themselves..
