Chapter 1112: Unrivaled in the World!

Unrivaled in the World! . . .

"Pah! You're certainly defeated! But you did raise your cultivation, at least to the third level of the Dao Origin Stage! Do you think I'm blind?" Zhu Jiutian was relentless.

"It's fine. Don't worry. Brother Zhan deliberately lowered his cultivation to assist me in practice. It's perfectly fine. He was just careless!" Cha Eun Xiao had secured the high ground, seized all the advantages, and spoke confidently.

"Look at him. Our younger fellow disciple is so magnanimous and generous! One should be as accommodating as the vast ocean that accommodates countless rivers. That's what you call virtue! Look at our younger fellow disciple and then look at yourself. Do you even know the meaning of honesty?" Zhu Jiutian continued to taunt him, relishing the situation.

He was reveling in it.

"Dammit, I'm done!" Zhan Yunfei leaped out of the sparring area. "Since you're such a paragon of virtue, why don't you take my place?"

"I won't!" Zhu Jiutian shook his head. "Why should it be me? Whoever wants a beating can go ahead! Not me! Do I look like a fool to you?"

Zhan Yunfei pointed a trembling finger at Zhu Jiutian, nearly at a loss for words due to anger. "You! We had a deal..."

"I've had a change of heart." Zhu Jiutian shook his head and boldly stated, "Can't you see I'm bowing out? I suppose you've been numbed by the thrashing you received from our younger fellow disciple. I've had a change of heart. I'm quitting. So what? Deal with it!"

Zhan Yunfei was left in an awkward position. He was seething. Rage filled his eyes, and he was on the verge of losing control.

They had indeed made an agreement to fight Cha Eun Xiao earlier.

Furthermore, they had a secret plan. He had previously deceived them. [He played us for fools earlier. We need to get back at him.]

Moreover, they had completely recovered from their previous injuries and needed to test their abilities.

Although they could fight one another for practice, they thought it would be much easier and more entertaining to fight their younger fellow disciple.

One more thing...

Their younger fellow disciple was named Cha Eun Xiao after all.

They couldn't resist the opportunity to have a go at 'Cha Eun Xiao'...

It would be immensely satisfying!

They had an absolutely flawless plan in mind. They presented it to Cha Eun Xiao without any hesitation.

"Look, younger fellow disciple, you've improved immensely. That's remarkable. No one else has achieved what you have!"

"I'm flattered, brothers. I've felt my progress recently..."

"Brother, you seem to be getting a big head. You must remember that despite your significant improvement, you're still only average. You need to gain more battle experience. Cultivation, mindset, and battles – these three factors contribute to perfection!"

"Well... How can I gain more battle experience?"

"It's simple. Just engage in practice fights with us, and you'll reach a new level over time."

"What? Fight against you? As far as I can tell, it sounds like you want to beat me up. What's the difference in our levels? How can I possibly take you on? You'll annihilate me. I see... I'm not that naive..."

"Heh heh. Younger fellow, don't misunderstand. Why would we use our superior power to bully you? We'll certainly lower our cultivation to a level matching yours before the fight. Moreover, being beaten is... well... you know, a valuable experience. There's much to learn from it!"

"That's right, younger fellow. You have to trust us. We're just looking out for you. Don't disappoint us..."

"But you've been in the martial world for many years. You possess extensive experience, don't you? Not only in cultivation but also in mindset and experience, you're far ahead of me. How can it be a fair fight? I'll be utterly crushed! I won't do it!"

"Listen, brother. We're merely being considerate. We'll reduce our cultivation to match your level. Your mindset has no effect on real battles. Sure, we have more experience, but it's a benefit for you. Isn't that what you truly need? You can learn from us! Don't you think?"

"That sounds reasonable..."

"Of course, it's reasonable. Would we, your brothers, work so hard to set you up?"

"That's true... Hmm... Will you genuinely lower your cultivation level to spar with me?"

"Absolutely. Do you doubt our integrity?"

"But what if you decide to abandon honesty... I wouldn't be able to do anything, would I? I can't even report to the masters because they are all too far from here..."

"Don't worry, brother. We'll take turns, and one of us will serve as the judge. It will be completely fair."

"What if you two conspire to cheat..."

"Then we'd be worse than animals! And we'd face punishment from the three elder disciples! How about that?"

"Great!"

And so it was settled. Zhan Yunfei stepped forward to be the first to spar. However, as soon as they began, he was astounded to discover that his battle experience was almost meaningless when facing Cha Eun Xiao. It proved to be utterly ineffective against him.

From the start of the match, Zhan Yunfei was continually pushed down and pummeled. He felt humiliated and uncomfortable.

He couldn't find an opportunity to strike back at all. In fact, he struggled to defend himself. The very experience he had boasted about became the weapon Cha Eun Xiao used to set traps for him. Every move Zhan Yunfei made based on his experience was met with a flurry of strikes like a torrential downpour.

Zhan Yunfei swore to the heavens, [This is without a doubt the most embarrassing and degrading fight I've ever experienced in my life!]

The resentment, bitterness, sorrow, and fury welled up within him.

When he eventually conceded defeat, he had already been punched so severely that he resembled a battered pig.

He was no longer the robust and handsome man he had once been.

Standing outside the sparring arena, gazing at Cha Eun Xiao within, he was stupefied. In the end, he had to reluctantly admit, [My younger fellow disciple is indeed a peerless genius in the art of combat.]

[I thought my battle experience was impressive, but it turns out to be futile. It's entirely outdated in his presence.]

[He's like a battle-crazed warrior who has spent his entire life on the battlefield. His experience is far from the standard of any ordinary novice!]

"Brother Cha, you've once again broadened my horizons today. Your cultivation level might be too low to traverse the martial world, but your battle experience is undoubtedly exceptional... No, it's unparalleled in the world!"

After a period of contemplation, Zhan Yunfei provided his appraisal in the end.

Although his words sounded somewhat complex, they were ultimately a testament to Cha Eun Xiao's excellence.
