Second update, asking for subscriptions, monthly votes~~~...

Who made the first move?

Everyone turned their gaze toward the stage, only to see a shadow moving rapidly, rushing straight toward the opponent—surprisingly, it was... Li Wuhua!

"Why is it Li Wuhua?"

"So strange..."

This discovery left many people quite surprised.

Logically speaking, it should be the weaker or less patient side that initiates the attack first... and Qin Fang clearly belongs to this category. Yet, he held his patience, while Li Wuhua was the one to strike first.

"Li Wuhua surely thinks he is stronger and can completely crush his opponent, which is why he struck first. He wants to defeat Qin Fang with absolute superiority..."

Of course, there were people who interpreted it this way.

At least this time, Li Wuhua's attack was quite fierce. Even before he arrived, the terrifying aura had already struck Qin Fang, causing his clothes to flurry like flags, with an incredibly intimidating presence.

"Strong! Incredibly strong..."

Feeling such a terrifying aura, many young experts below the stage couldn't help but glance away... Though they were similar in age, there was a clear gap in strength. Even though the aura wasn't directed at them, it was still pressing them breathless.

Some didn't hesitate to lavish their praise, their eyes filled with fervent admiration for Li Wuhua...

Don't assume martial arts experts don't have "fans"—in reality, the "fans" among martial arts experts are much more zealous and worshipful compared to outside music or film fans... But they idolize more powerful experts, not those "Kuruoki starlets" or "pretty boys."

Li Wuhua's fame among the Five Great Sects is far stronger than Qin Fang's, naturally attracting many fans... Additionally, Li Wuhua himself is handsome and distinguished, with countless female fans.

Especially the female disciples from Tianya Haige...

Except for Leng Bingbing, who is likely the only exception... She wouldn't idolize Li Wuhua because she has always been striving to improve herself, believing that one day she could completely defeat Li Wuhua and stomp him underfoot!

Compared to the enthusiastic uproar and encouraging cheers from Li Wuhua's fans, Qin Fang's side was much quieter, with only Kunlun Sect disciples and Qin Fang's brothers cheering him on.

Moreover, his looks were clearly no match for Li Wuhua's handsome face, attracting only few female fans...

But... this didn't affect Qin Fang in the slightest.

"Good timing..."

Qin Fang had always been as steady as a mountain before, appearing very composed, with a very stable aura, almost devoid of any openings, making it difficult for Li Wuhua to find a chance to strike, leading him to attack first.

But when Li Wuhua did attack, Qin Fang truly erupted, and a soft shout formed a violent energy that scattered Li Wuhua's intimidating presence in an instant, and even countered back.

*Boom Boom Boom~~~*

However, Li Wuhua earned his reputation as the number one expert of the younger generation not by mere fame—his skills were built with his fists... How could he be so easily dealt with?

Li Wuhua casually waved his sleeve, instantly blocking the energy burst from Qin Fang's shout... Despite the consecutive sounds of impact, neither Qin Fang nor Li Wuhua suffered the slightest damage.

The clash of aura didn't result in anything substantive, merely serving as a little appetizer and need not be overly concerned about.

However, after this appetizer, the distance between Qin Fang and Li Wuhua was already very close.

Without much nonsense, Li Wuhua directly attacked with his palm... The violent palm energy carried a terrifying force, as if the heavens and earth changed color, and a faint sound of dragon roars and tiger calls could be heard.

"Dragon Roar Tiger Techniques, is it?"

Qin Fang squinted slightly, murmuring softly... This was a powerful skill set from Tianwai Tower, though performed barehanded, its power was no less than Kunlun Sect's Kunlun Secret Sword.

Moreover, Li Wuhua's own cultivation was exceptionally terrifying, and his performance of the Dragon Roar Tiger Techniques brought an overwhelming aura that made people feel suffocated... That oppressive vibe could captivate the soul!

Yet, even though Qin Fang recognized this palm technique, it was not enough to scare him away...

Suddenly gathering the raging True Qi within him, a thick aura of blood rapidly surged up, seemingly enveloping Qin Fang entirely. What stood out the most was Qin Fang's hand, which had turned blood-red, appearing extraordinarily eerie.

"Mysterious Sect's Blood Hand Seal?"

Upon seeing this transformation in Qin Fang, many couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"That's not the Mysterious Sect's Blood Hand Seal..."

But soon, experts with sharp eyes dismissed that judgment... Although it looked very similar to the Blood Hand Seal of the Mysterious Sect, in reality, it wasn't. Both the aura and the power had noticeable differences.

As for the parties involved, Qin Fang and Li Wuhua, they clearly had no time to ponder these details, both unleashing their violent palm energies with their opponent right in front of them, almost simultaneously aiming at each other.

Bam~~

The seemingly unparalleled and terrifying palm energies ended up in a gentle clash between the two, and almost immediately after their palms touched, both Qin Fang and Li Wuhua swiftly withdrew...

However, just as everyone was puzzled, an extremely violent wave of energy rapidly expanded from the point of their encounter, forcefully pushing both of them far away.

The violent energy wave fiercely impacted the arena, with a faint crackling sound, a product of their clashing palm energy... Furthermore, it swiftly formed a small tornado on the stage, stirring up clouds of dust.

Yet, Qin Fang and Li Wuhua both paused briefly in mid-air, their figures shifting slightly to avoid the small tornado, then landed steadily on the arena...

"Traceless Snow Stepping Technique?"

However, as Li Wuhua steadied himself, he noticed Qin Fang's movement technique and exclaimed in surprise, his gaze shifting peculiarly towards the referee, Snow Mountain Sect Leader Xue Wuchen.

"Shift Position Technique..."

On Qin Fang's side, he calmly remarked... Earlier, it was indeed Li Wuhua who used the Shift Position Technique, thus avoiding being blown off the stage by the violent energy wave.

Of course, generally, any sufficiently strong expert wouldn't be easily knocked off the stage, let alone Li Wuhua.

The reason Qin Fang said this was just to respond to Li Wuhua's remark.

Yet, the referee Snow Mountain Sect Leader Xue Wuchen, seemed as if he hadn't heard Li Wuhua's words, nonchalantly standing with arms crossed, gazing at the sky... Showing no intention of engaging with this.

Since participating in the Five Sect Competition, upon learning that Snow Mountain Sect Leader Xue Wuchen was a member of the Arbitration Group, Qin Fang had decided to avoid using the Traceless Snow Stepping Technique as much as possible, mainly unsure of how this old man would treat him.

However, facing extremely formidable opponents like the Dragon Elephant Dharma King, Qin Fang was forced to reveal a little.

It can be said that after that match, most of the older generation of Paramount Experts had already noticed... Some even teased Snow Mountain Sect Leader Xue Wuchen about it, but unfortunately, this old man didn't take it seriously.

Li Wuhua hadn't watched that particular match because he was then engaged in a duel with Monk Wu Fa, naturally missing that detail...

Unexpectedly, now seeing Qin Fang perform the Traceless Snow Stepping Technique, Li Wuhua also took it to tease Xue Wuchen... Luckily, the old man is now the referee, unable to express anything, otherwise, he might really give this kid a hard time.

"Seems you're more difficult to deal with than I imagined..."

Seeing Xue Wuchen remain indifferent, Li Wuhua didn't manage to provoke any reaction but didn't mind, instead squinting his eyes at Qin Fang, his tone becoming noticeably more solemn.

"So now I can truly consider you my opponent..."

Yet, the latter half of his sentence revealed his confidence and assertiveness.

Almost as he spoke, Li Wuhua's aura surged abruptly, more than doubling... Additionally, the Protective Gang Qi around his body became even more solid.

However, strangely, his Protective Gang Qi wasn't the nearly colorless and transparent type typical of Great Grandmaster Level experts but subtly exuded an icy blue hue...

At the same time, Qin Fang distinctly felt the arena's air temperature dropping rapidly, the piercing cold rushing towards his body, leaving one to wonder if they had suddenly entered a frigid winter if accompanied by a blast of the cold north wind.

"Cold Ice Aura..."

Qin Fang merely frowned, sensing a deep threat, and began to retract into defense, while some in the audience couldn't restrain themselves from exclaiming, "Li Wuhua has actually mastered the Cold Ice Aura..."

Protective Gang Qi is the hallmark and symbol of Great Grandmaster Level experts, an expression of power...

Yet, there are some abnormal experts whose condensed Protective Gang Qi is different from others, possessing specific attributes similar to Sword Intent, such as Li Wuhua's Cold Ice Aura in this case.
