Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Perfect Coordination

"Damn it, I can’t take it anymore! This kid is too arrogant!" someone in the crowd said, displeased.

"Uh... I can’t stand to watch either, but he really has the right to be arrogant. You’re also a Tier Nine Spirit Pupil. Could you have taken out Zhang Lang in one move?"

"So... so what if I couldn’t? Even if I couldn’t, a new disciple like him shouldn’t be bullying people like this!" the man stammered. He just couldn’t stand Shen Haoran’s arrogant attitude.

"Oh, give it a rest. Just watch. Someone will put him in his place!"

Sure enough, just as the man finished speaking, three people from the crowd stepped onto the fighting ring together.

All three were dressed in cyan robes, and one glance was enough to tell they were disciples of the Cyan Wood Hall. Moreover, they seemed to have the exact same face—they were triplets!

Seeing those three get on stage, the crowd started buzzing again.

"Aren’t those the Liu Family’s Three Brothers from the Cyan Wood Hall!"

"This is a big deal! These three brothers have been Siblings since the womb. It’s said that when they team up, they can even fight a Spirit General! The Cultivation Technique they practice allows the three of them to share their Spiritual Power, and I heard they also have a set of combination Martial Skills that are incredibly powerful!"

Shen Haoran paid no mind to the clamorous discussions in the crowd. He just glanced at the three of them and shook his head. "You’re no match for me!"

"Holy shit, this kid’s taking his act too far! He’s way too arrogant! These three brothers are comparable to a Spirit General!"

The Liu Family’s Three Brothers merely frowned. No one had ever dared to say such a thing to their faces. When the three of them joined forces, they were invincible below the Spirit General realm. ’What right does this new disciple have to be so arrogant in front of us?!’

"If that’s not enough, then add us to the mix! Hu Da and Hu Er of the Thick Earth Hall have come to challenge you!" Just then, a gruff voice boomed from below the stage, and two burly Martial Artists appeared on the fighting ring.

"Haha, Hu Da and Hu Er are here too! Let’s see this kid act so arrogant now!"

"Hu Da is about to be promoted to a Level Three Disciple. What’s he doing getting involved in this?"

"Tch, this kid desecrated the goddess Shui Ruolan. He’s a target for the entire Sect now. Hu Da is also one of Shui Ruolan’s loyal pursuers, so he’s definitely here to teach this kid a lesson!"

"Then he’s really in for it! Now that the Cyan Wood Hall and Thick Earth Hall are teaming up—the Liu Family’s Three Brothers have the unique control and recovery skills of the Wood Attribute, plus the defense and offense of Hu Da and Hu Er’s Earth Attribute. This lineup looks perfect!"

Seeing Hu Da and Hu Er take the stage, a trace of seriousness finally appeared in Shen Haoran’s eyes. ’One Half-Step Spirit General, plus four Tier Nine Spirit Pupils. This fight could be fun!’

"What are you doing here? We can handle him!" the eldest of the Liu brothers said to Hu Da, displeased.

"Just for a bit of fun. Brother Shen won’t mind, will he?" Hu Da said, looking at Shen Haoran with a sly smile.

"Whatever," Shen Haoran replied flatly.

"Haha, Brother Shen has quite the spirit. Then you won’t mind if I attack first!" Hu Da said, looking at Shen Haoran with a cruel smile. ’You dared to touch my goddess, so you’ll have to pay the price!’

Hearing this, Shen Haoran said nothing, simply making an inviting gesture, completely disregarding Hu Da.

"Hmph!" Hu Da snorted coldly. Without any further pleasantries, he charged straight at Shen Haoran.

The distance between them wasn’t great. Hu Da’s charge grew faster and faster until he was crashing toward Shen Haoran like an unstoppable war chariot.

But Shen Haoran just stood his ground, showing no intention of dodging whatsoever.

"Hmph, just for show!" Hu Da snorted coldly, raising his fist and smashing it viciously toward Shen Haoran. Veins bulged on his arm, a testament to the punch’s immense weight. The powerful force of the blow made Shen Haoran’s robes flap wildly.

SMACK!

With a crisp sound, Hu Da’s mighty punch was caught by Shen Haoran with a single hand. Moreover, Shen Haoran’s body hadn’t moved an inch!

SWISH! In the instant Hu Da was stunned, Shen Haoran threw a punch. In that moment, Hu Da finally understood what "lightning fast" truly meant.

He couldn’t see the trajectory of Shen Haoran’s punch at all. But Hu Da was a battle-hardened veteran, and his body instinctively leaned back. Shen Haoran’s fist grazed the tip of his nose, the sharp force of the blow making his cheeks sting!

After dodging Shen Haoran’s punch, Hu Da propped himself up with his left hand, his legs scissoring toward Shen Haoran’s neck. Shen Haoran didn’t even try to dodge. He brought his hands back to defend, grabbed Hu Da’s legs, lifted him up, and threw him like a hammer throw!

THUMP THUMP THUMP... Hu Da flipped several times in mid-air before landing on the ground. He had to retreat more than ten steps to finally dissipate the immense force!

In that split second, the two had already probed each other’s strength. Hu Da looked at Shen Haoran, his expression grim. ’My two attacks didn’t even make him budge. The difference in our strength is obvious!’

"Brother Liu, this kid is no ordinary opponent! Let’s attack together!" Hu Da shouted to the Liu Family’s Three Brothers.

"Alright!" The Liu Family’s Three Brothers had also seen Shen Haoran’s skills, so they didn’t dare to be overconfident and immediately agreed.

"Charge!" At Hu Da’s command, the five of them moved out in an instant, attacking Shen Haoran together.

Seeing the five of them charging over, Shen Haoran licked his lips and adopted a combat stance.

"Wood Spirit Binding!"

As they came within ten meters of Shen Haoran, the Liu Family’s Three Brothers performed a Seal Technique in unison. Deep cyan Spiritual Power wove itself into a giant spiderweb in front of Shen Haoran, shooting toward him to bind him.

Seeing the giant spiderweb, Shen Haoran immediately dodged to the side. Unfortunately, the deep cyan Spiritual Power seemed to have eyes of its own and was exceptionally nimble. Shen Haoran couldn’t evade it in time, and his limbs were instantly bound!

"Rock Spike!" Seeing Shen Haoran restrained, Hu Er roared. He slammed his palms on the ground, and the ring in front of Shen Haoran suddenly bulged upward, striking toward his chest like a heavy hammer!

BANG! With no way to dodge, Shen Haoran was viciously knocked into the air.

But the five attackers weren’t finished. Seeing Shen Haoran airborne, Hu Da leaped up, his explosive power allowing him to appear in front of Shen Haoran in an instant.

"Mountain Collapse!" With a great roar, Hu Da’s massive body slammed into Shen Haoran’s back. Unable to find any leverage in mid-air, Shen Haoran was smashed straight down.

BOOM! Shen Haoran was viciously smashed into the fighting ring, shattering the bluestone slabs and kicking up a cloud of dust. His entire body was embedded in the stage!

GULP... Down in the crowd, the spectators who saw this couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Perfect control, perfect attack! The teamwork between these five is simply flawless! Shen Haoran didn’t even have a chance to fight back!"

"Either the Liu Family’s Three Brothers or the duo of Hu Da and Hu Er can contend with a Spirit General on their own. Now that all five are working together, it would be a miracle if Shen Haoran could fight back!"

"Shen Haoran was way too overconfident this time, daring to challenge them. He must have a death wish!"

Below the stage, the crowd chattered back and forth, creating a lively scene. But on the ring, Hu Da’s brow was tightly furrowed. Staring at the dust-shrouded figure of Shen Haoran, he couldn’t feel happy at all.

"Big Brother, what’s wrong?" Hu Er couldn’t help but ask, seeing his older brother looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy. ’He thought Shen Haoran was pretty fragile, to be taken out by that combo...’

"Be careful," Hu Da said in a low voice. "Our last attack... might not have hurt him at all!" When he had executed Mountain Collapse in mid-air, it had felt like slamming into iron-hard armor, as if he hadn’t hit Shen Haoran’s body at all.

"How is that possible!" Hu Er was stunned to hear Hu Da’s words.

CRACKLE! However, just as he finished speaking, a faint sound came from within the cloud of smoke, like the patter of falling rubble.

WHOOSH... Suddenly, a formidable aura erupted from within the smoke. The Powerful Qi blew all the surrounding dust away, revealing Shen Haoran to everyone once more.
