BAMM!!"Did I get him?" Bai Li said to himself inwardly, but narrowed his eyes when a punch came over to his face.
Suu!!
With an agile twist of his body, he evaded the punch and flitted off to the side with gritted teeth.
"You.."
It was Dong Jinghai that blocked off his stealth attack!

"Don"t think that you can just gang up on him like that when we are also here watching his back heheheh!" he said with a wide smile showing off his white teeth.
Suu!
Wu jin also positioned himself onto the opposite flank of Dong Jinghai as he put up a guard silently.
"Thank you Senior Dong Jinghai and Senior Wu Jin!" Duan Li cupped his fists together to express his grat.i.tude. However, in reality, he didn"t really need help from them at all. In fact, if he wanted to, the hand chop towards the back of his neck just now could either be dodged, deflected or countered due to his Martial True Instinct that was already ingrained pa.s.sively into his body!
Of course, the time-slowing down ability would not work here though. After all, that ability will only activate should he face mortal danger to his life. Since this was a friendly compet.i.tion, there was no killing intent behind their move.
In addition, if he made a move himself previously, the wrist of the other party will probably be broken right now.
"You guys are pretty good, for a lowly empire that is." a voice spoke out with a hint of utter disdain in it. It was Ruo Hen!
"What did you just say? I dare you to utter it again!" Wu Jin immediately shot the latter a murderous glare.
"Oh my apologies, it wasn"t intentional." Ruo Hen covered his mouth, but a sneer could be seen vividly forming behind it.
Seeing this, Wu Jin was truly enraged. "b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I"ll.." just as he was about to charge forward, a hand tugged at his shoulder firmly which jolted him off from his angered state as he look behind.
To his surprise, it was Duan Li!
To think that he wasn"t able to move even an inch forward when he was a stage stronger than the other party..
"What a ridiculously strong grip!" he thought to himself as he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
"Let me deal with him." Duan Li said as he started to walk slowly towards Ruo Hen with casual steps.
"I can"t ignore what you just said. Are you ready to get thrashed?" a sliver of anger was swelling slowly inside Duan Li.
This was the Jiu Empire and the other party was a guest from another empire. It should be common courtesy to not badmouth others when its not their home ground in the presence of the host, but this fellow in front of him seemed to look down even on this very notion!
Therefore, the conclusion that Duan Li made was that, the other party actually did not give a d.a.m.n at all!
In his opinion, that was all fine and dandy, but only IF the other party was truly strong.
"Only if you have the capabilities.." Ruo Hen replied with a sarcastic smile.
Zaa!!
Just after he finished that sentence, a hand had already grabbed at the side of his head!
Feeling shocked, he turned his eyes towards the owner of this hand and his eyes immediately widened in incredulity.
"When did he..!!"
It was Duan Li!
This person was just right in front of him before!
Pahh!!
After Ruo Hen was grabbed by his hand, Duan Li flung the latter to the side. However, Ruo Hen managed to stabilize himself in mid air and rotated his body to land on the ground on his feet.
"d.a.m.n you!" Ruo Hen bellowed out.
The grab to his head just now wasn"t meant to inflict damage on him, but to make a fool out of him for everyone to see!
Just recalling that scene again made his face fumed with humiliation!
"You flipped yourself splendidly! I remember monkeys in my village used to do that as well!" Duan Li replied with a slight chuckle.
"HAHAHA!" the audience laughed out loud in satisfaction. At first, even they were p.i.s.sed off by Ruo Hen"s mouth. But the other party got his just retribution immediately after!
"Ruo Hen! Don"t you dishonor the Doulou Empire!" Ling Shin shouted out in anger.
This partner of his was a little bit unreliable sent by their academy to accompany him. In addition, he also did not like the fake personality this companion of his always wore in public.
In front of others, he would try to appear like a gentleman and cool as possibly as he can to woo the ladies, but inside, he was even more worse than him!
At least in Ling Shin"s case, although his mouth was not that far off, he knew when to keep his mouth shut!
"Is this fool blind? This Duan Li is obviously strong! To utter such disrespectful words like that was just like asking for a public humiliation!" he cursed in his mind.
"Hmph! Fine then. Let me prove my words from before." Ruo Hen refused to back down and changed his stance.
At the sight of this, Ling Shin"s face darkened, "Ruo Hen! You do not get to use the Doulou"s Martial Art outside of the Empire!"
At which, Ruo Hen swiftly scoffed at, "Ha! You said to not dishonor our empire right? Then, let me show them the gap between this backwater empire-wannabe with our great Doulou Empire!"
Moving both of his arms and feet in a series of unique motion, Ruo Hen"s muscles started to tighten together until blood vessels were visibly popping out from his skin!
...
From the audience seat, Liu Sheng Duhai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That is the Doulou Empire"s unique martial arts skill, the Eight Undulating Qi!" he said.
"The Eight Undulating Qi? What"s that?" Queen Levy asked casually. In her opinion, whatever skills this Ruo Hen fellow deployed, all will be useless in front of her husband!
"The skill makes use of Eight specific meridians inside the human body where the Qi travels. Then, by utilizing a secret martial art technique from each clan in the Doulou Empire, one would be able to increase their physical prowess exponentially!" Liu Sheng Duhai explained.
Pfft!
"Just that? He is done for." Queen Levy let out a soft chuckle as she shook her head.
In front of real power, all these measly skills and secret techniques are nothing but toys!
