The Grand Elder glanced at the two with a steady gaze; conflicts within the Sect are commonplace.

Whether it’s among ordinary disciples or within the Sect itself, such occurrences are routine. Within the Sect, only the Sect Master holds an untouchable status, with no other restrictions in place.

Moreover, among the Elders, public duels are held almost every month to determine rankings, and the results are recalculated into the hierarchy.

This ranking directly influences the distribution of cultivation resources within the Sect; differing ranks have vastly different resources.

This is why the Elder cares so much about ranking, and it’s precisely the reason why the old woman is willing to go all out against Ye Luo.

However, Ye Luo knows nothing about this! Of course, even if he did know, Ye Luo wouldn’t show her any kindness with such an attitude.

Following this, the old woman walked out with a cold smile, her aura climbing higher with each step, her figure becoming more upright, completely shedding her previous frail demeanor.

Additionally, her appearance underwent a change; her originally gray-haired and wrinkled visage transformed dramatically into that of a middle-aged woman.

This transformation made her appear decades younger!

Yet, the spectators didn’t seem surprised, after all, at their current realm of body refinement, appearance is generally maintained, staying youthful is merely a choice to match one’s status.

"Boy, don’t say I’m bullying you, go ahead and make the first move!" she confidently challenged Ye Luo.

Ye Luo squinted and stepped forward.

"I don’t take advantage of women," he remarked coolly.

The Elder raised an eyebrow, "Alright then, in that case, let me teach you a lesson for not knowing your place!"

In reality, she was speaking to the other Elders as well.

Aiming to challenge her authority—today this young man’s outcome is a warning for them, a way to assert dominance, she decided Ye Luo would not leave unscathed, serving as cautionary tale to others harboring ambitions against her.

With that, she struck a palm downward.

This blow even caught the Grand Elder’s attention!

Suddenly, the surrounding Power of Laws showed signs of turbulence, causing nearby Elders to involuntarily step back.

The crowd understood; she was eager to make an example of young men, as she had made a breakthrough in her realm!

Such power could compare to cultivation at the second level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, and evidently, this wasn’t her full strength!

So, just how strong is she!

Ye Luo wasn’t surprised; ranking first among the Elders meant formidable power naturally!

Also, encountering such a powerful Body Cultivator made him somewhat excited.

Suddenly, he too struck with a palm.

Still using the Great Sage Palm!

The bout between Body Cultivators is straightforward and brutal.

Bam!

With a loud crash, the force of both palms collided fiercely. Instantly, dust flew around the square, a savage force dispersing!

Step back, step back!

Ye Luo retreated over ten steps before coming to a halt!

He squinted, confirming that the Body Technique of Zi Wei Sect was indeed remarkable! This strike couldn’t even gain an upper hand!

Those around, seeing Ye Luo thus, widened their eyes.

To withstand such a strike already attests to his extraordinariness!

Not to mention that even the lowest-ranked among the Elders could be struck dead by such a palm! The Elder’s ranking is not mere talk but distinguished through actual strength.

And most shocked of all was the old woman.

She had intended to show Ye Luo some pain, anticipating that this strike, if not fatal, would at least severely injure him!

But now! Only retreating ten steps stirred fury within her.

This scenario gravely undermined her authority and status in the Sect.

"Boy, let’s go again!"

The old woman squinted her eyes, her aura rising once more, suddenly launching a punch.

With this punch, a force of Law enveloped her fist!

Buzz buzz!

In that moment, it seemed even the heavens were resonating!

Witnessing this scene, the Grand Elder was moved, not expecting she had comprehended the Power of Laws to such a degree!

Ye Luo narrowed his eyes, knowing this power had reached the third level of the Heavenly Martial Realm and was still not her limit!

Nevertheless, Ye Luo remained unfazed!

His Slaughter Law and War Intent Law began to operate simultaneously; if the old woman had seen Ye Luo’s previous bouts, she wouldn’t dare employ such Law forces!

Though Ye Luo’s comprehension of Laws may not be as profound as hers, the diversity in Law powers he controls is substantial!

Moreover, he possesses Thunder Principle, an inherently offensive law!

Yet, even just the combination of Slaughter Law and War Intent Law was sufficient to counter her attack, given Ye Luo’s body is now at its pinnacle! The utmost limit achievable by a body from the Sixth Region!

However, just as he was about to act, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura emerging between the two.

The next moment, a graceful figure appeared between them.

It was the Sect Master!

Faced with the old woman’s terrifying strike, the Sect Master merely waved a hand lightly, dissipating most of the strike’s force! With another push, the remaining power was completely neutralized!

Seeing this, the surrounding people fell silent immediately.

Since her succession, the Sect Master had never made a move! Many had even doubted her strength!

After all, reverence and skepticism aren’t mutually exclusive; while she may have received the inheritance, her strength would gradually improve, but initially, it must be subpar!

Yet today, this strike utterly overturned their assumptions!

Even the Grand Elder was beside herself, her expression shattered by astonishment for the first time, not to mention the other Elders.

Ye Luo’s demeanor also turned extremely grave, realizing just how strong she was! With effortless measure, she dissolved the old woman’s attack, perfectly integrating the Power of Laws into her own strikes.

This very aspect is where Ye Luo falls short.

Nonetheless, he felt a hint of excitement! Originally, he believed his physical capacity had reached its limit, the extremity of the Sixth Region!

But now it seemed, this was gravely mistaken! Physical strength isn’t strictly restrained to Bloodline advancement, although Bloodline determines the ultimate strength of one’s body, he hadn’t fully tapped into the current potential of his Bloodline Power.
