"I, in my entire life, have three principles. First, I don't hit women. Second, I don't hit beautiful women. Third, I don't hit women as stunning and mesmerizing as you, Miss." Duan XingXuan stood still at a distance of ten steps from Liu XiYang, wearing a self-proclaimed playful smile as he spoke effortlessly.

What a cheeky brat! First, he disregarded Meng XiaoMan's life, and then he criticized superhumans for being weak. Now, he even dares to flirt with me right in front of me! Upon seeing Duan XingXuan's face, which wanted a good smack, Liu XiYang became very angry, extremely angry! So Liu XiYang didn't respond, only furrowing her eyebrows slightly, while coldly chuckling.

"Hehe, since the lady insists on sparring with me, there's nothing I can do but accept." Duan XingXuan chuckled, and then extended his right hand with the palm facing upward, while quickly forming a hand seal with his left hand in front of his chest.

The next moment, a thunderous sound came from within the enclosed hall, followed by the appearance of a mass of lightning on Duan XingXuan's open palm, seemingly wrapped in countless tiny flying swords.

"This technique is called 'Mystic Thunder of the Sword's Courage,' an original creation of our Shang Yang Palace. The power of this thunder technique, conceived by the Dao heart of my personal sword, is enough to split mountains and rocks. Even a middle-grade Demonborn, oh, what you call a B-grade Demonborn, cannot withstand half of this technique." Seeing a spell powerful enough to kill a B-grade Demonborn being casually released, it was like a daily routine for Duan XingXuan.

???

Mystic Thunder of the Sword's Courage? Such an awe-inspiring name? To be honest, Liu XiYang was also seeing a cultivator's spell for the first time and it did seem quite formidable... Moreover, all along, Liu XiYang actually envied these people for having all kinds of tricks, killer moves, while she always relied on throwing a punch. She had never enjoyed the thrill of shouting out a killer technique. So, should she come up with one herself?

As Duan XingXuan saw Liu XiYang standing still, seemingly dumbfounded, he burst into laughter, thinking that this elegant and fierce girl was stunned by his thunder technique.

"Miss, there's no need to worry. I only used this thunder technique to make you realize the gap between you and me... oh no, it's an insurmountable chasm. If you still want to spar with me, Miss, you can rest assured that I won't hurt you in the slightest, and you'll come to understand what it means to be... overestimating one's abilities." Duan XingXuan's emotional intelligence was indeed not high. Even when trying to console the girl in front of him, he still acted superior and arrogant.

Just at this moment, Liu XiYang, who had stood still like she was petrified of the thunder technique, suddenly seemed to figure something out. She lightly tapped her left palm with her right hand, then a satisfied smile appeared on her face. The next second, she exerted a slight force with her long, snow-white legs, and disappeared from where she was standing.

Liu XiYang didn't use her superpowers, and her current speed was just the most ordinary speed. However, even the most ordinary speed was not something an ordinary person could perceive with the naked eye.

But Duan XingXuan was not an ordinary person; he was a cultivator hailed as an extraordinary genius. Although Duan XingXuan was quite surprised that the seemingly elegant and fierce girl's speed was so swift, in his eyes, she was just an ordinary person.

"Slow, slow, slow!" With both hands behind his back, Duan XingXuan stepped on the Seven Stars, elegantly dodging several of Liu XiYang's attacks, without even once using the "Mystic Thunder of the Sword's Courage" in his hand.

So far, because Duan XingXuan hadn't made any moves and Liu XiYang hadn't been able to land a hit on him, the others watching saw this fight as Duan XingXuan completely toying with Liu XiYang. Just when Su CongShuang and the others couldn't bear to watch any longer, the situation on the field finally changed.With a loud "crack!", a large cloud of smoke appeared in the arena. Following the smoke, Duan XingXuan's brows furrowed and a strange expression appeared on his face.

For the first time, this was the first time Duan XingXuan had attacked in this battle, and he used the "Sword Courageous Thunder" to attack the ground, in order to force back Liu Xi's attack... Although Duan XingXuan did not think that being approached by the girl was a big deal, he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis when the girl got close to him just now. This led to Duan XingXuan unleashing the thunder in the palm of his hand.

Strange, very strange! Duan XingXuan was somewhat annoyed at his lack of composure just now. At this moment, whether it was an illusion or not, Duan XingXuan felt that the girl with a cool and heroic appearance seemed to be getting faster and faster, and even vaguely... her chest seemed to have grown slightly larger than before?

Ah... forget it, Duan XingXuan decided not to continue playing with that girl and once again formed a seal in front of his chest with his left hand, preparing to take the initiative to attack and force the girl to surrender with a thunderous strike from his palm. However, just as the seal was forming halfway, a very slight sound, probably only audible to Duan XingXuan himself, sounded beside him.

"Hey, brat, do you know what this move is called?"

!!?

Duan XingXuan didn't even notice how the girl had approached him. Just as he was about to turn around to look, the next second, a soft body suddenly rushed into Duan XingXuan's arms.

"My move, it has a very simple name, it's called - Fist of Reborn Life!" As the words fell, a delicate fist smashed directly into Duan XingXuan's face from beneath him.

Dodge... unable to dodge!?

Looking at the fist that kept approaching his face, it looked soft and tender, but for some reason, Duan XingXuan's mind went blank. And as the fist neared, Duan XingXuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and instantly soaked his clothes.

Fist of Reborn Life?

What kind of fist is this? Duan XingXuan had never heard of such a move! A spell? Fairy magic? Duan XingXuan didn't understand, he didn't even have time to think... But in that instant, a series of scenes from the moment he was born began to appear before Duan XingXuan's eyes.

Speaking eloquently since birth, being regarded as a deity by everyone, being brought into the sect by his master at the age of two and becoming the sect leader's first disciple, cultivating his own celestial sword at the age of five, being hailed as an unprecedented genius since the age of ten, expected to become the first true immortal to shatter the void in the world... Duan XingXuan's past kept flashing before his eyes. Ah, truly deserving of me, such an outstanding and perfect existence, but...

Wait, why are these images appearing in front of my eyes like a revolving lantern???

Fist of Reborn Life... Fist of Reborn Life... Suddenly, Duan XingXuan realized the meaning of this name. Could it be... am I going to die?

Although Duan XingXuan was careless and did not use one hundred percent of his strength, he didn't even use ten percent... Why did it turn out like this... Fist of Reborn Life, Fist of Reborn Life... Could it be that I, Duan XingXuan, the heaven-gifted genius, am really going to experience a rebirth of life?
