I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 256: Provocation in the martial arts arena, showing off one's edge

"Who?!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted softly, and his figure flashed and was already outside the window.

In the darkness, a dark shadow flashed by at an extremely fast speed. Ren Xiaoyao did not chase after it, as he knew that the other party was just testing him and had no ill intentions.

"Senior Brother Yun, if you want to challenge me, I'll be ready to accompany you at the martial arts arena tomorrow!" Ren Xiaoyao said loudly to the night sky, his voice carrying far in the silent night.

The next morning, many people gathered at the martial arts arena, and they were all talking about it.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Yun is going to challenge the freshman who solved the eternal puzzle today!"

"What? The one called Ren Xiaoyao? Does he dare to accept the challenge?"

"Senior Brother Yun is the best among the inner court disciples. I'm afraid Ren Xiaoyao, a freshman, is not good enough for me, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe he doesn't show his true face."

In the crowd, Junior Sister Su looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a worried look on her face. She pulled Xia Lin's sleeve and asked, "Sister Xia Lin, do you think Brother Xiaoyao can win?"

Xia Lin patted her hand gently and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyao knows what's going on."

At this moment, Senior Brother Yun was already standing in the center of the martial arts arena, dressed in a sturdy outfit and looking very heroic, drawing screams from many of the surrounding female disciples. His eyes darted around the crowd, finally landing on Ren Xiaoyao, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth.

"Ren Xiaoyao, you're here." Senior Brother Yun spoke in an arrogant tone with a hint of provocation.

"Senior Brother Yun asked me to come here. I wonder if you have any advice for me?" Ren Xiaoyao looked calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hmph, stop pretending!" Senior Brother Yun snorted coldly, "You just luckily solved a difficult problem, and yet you're so self-righteous and arrogant. Today, I'm going to show you what true strength is!"

"Brother Yun, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want." Ren Xiaoyao's face darkened. "When did I become so self-righteous and arrogant?"

"How dare you say you don't have it?" Senior Brother Yun pressed on. "You're just a freshman. What qualifications do you have to instruct Junior Sister Su in her cultivation? Are you trying to humiliate me?"

Ren Xiaoyao immediately understood that Senior Brother Yun was holding a grudge against him because of Junior Sister Su. He smiled faintly and said, "Senior Brother Yun, you think too highly of yourself. I teach Junior Sister Su because she's eager to learn, and I'm happy to teach her. What does it have to do with you?"

"You..." Senior Brother Yun was choked by Ren Xiaoyao's words, his face suddenly flushed the color of liver. "Okay, okay, since you are so arrogant, don't blame me for being rude! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Master Mo!"

After saying that, Senior Brother Yun moved, turned into a shadow, and went straight towards Ren Xiaoyao.

"Well done!"

Ren Xiaoyao was not afraid but happy. He took a step forward and went forward to meet him.

For a moment, a strong wind howled in the martial arts arena, and two figures intertwined fiercely...

The discussions around them gradually died down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

"This kid's quite interesting." An old man in plain clothes watched the battle on the field, a faint smile on his face. The competition on the martial arts field was like a collision between Mars and the Earth, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire academy. In a short while, the martial arts field was surrounded by students who had come to watch the battle. They all craned their necks, eager to see the true strength of this freshman who had just solved an ancient puzzle.

Senior Brother Yun, worthy of being a leader among the inner court disciples, immediately displayed his impressive strength. His movements were as swift as lightning, his palms swift and fierce, each strike aimed squarely at Ren Xiaoyao's vital points. Facing Senior Brother Yun's furious onslaught, Ren Xiaoyao dared not neglect his actions, relying on his nimble movements to dodge and seek out his opponent's weaknesses.

"Senior Brother Yun is so powerful! Brother Xiaoyao seems to be unable to withstand it." Junior Sister Su looked at the situation on the field and said with some concern.

Xia Lin pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, but her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. Although she had confidence in Ren Xiaoyao, Senior Brother Yun's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

"This kid is quite interesting." In the crowd, the old man in cloth clothes still had an inexplicable smile on his face as he watched the battle on the field, not knowing what he was thinking.

Senior Brother Yun's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Ren Xiaoyao gradually began to feel the strain. He knew that this wasn't going to work; he had to find his opponent's weakness as quickly as possible.

"Boy, is this all you have got? If that's all you have, then just admit defeat today!" Senior Brother Yun mocked while attacking.

Ren Xiaoyao ignored Senior Brother Yun's provocation. He stared closely at his every move, and kept recalling the moves that Senior Brother Yun had just used in his mind.

Suddenly, Ren Xiaoyao had an idea. He found that although Senior Brother Yun’s moves were fierce, he had a fatal weakness, that is, his attack method was too simple and could be easily predicted.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaoyao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"It's now!"

Ren Xiaoyao seized the moment when Senior Brother Yun switched moves, and suddenly accelerated, actually actively facing Senior Brother Yun's attack...

"What is Brother Xiaoyao doing?" Junior Sister Su exclaimed, not understanding why Ren Xiaoyao did this.

"He's going to fight back." Charlene, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a barely perceptible excitement in her tone.

"Arrogant!" Senior Brother Yun became furious when he saw that Ren Xiaoyao dared to attack him, and his attacks became more fierce.

However, at this moment, Ren Xiaoyao's body suddenly twisted strangely, and he avoided Senior Brother Yun's attack from an incredible angle, and then... appeared beside Senior Brother Yun!

"Not good!" Senior Brother Yun's face changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late...

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Junior Sister Su couldn't help but exclaim. Although she didn't know much about martial arts, she could see that Ren Xiaoyao was in a very dangerous situation. Xia Lin didn't say anything, but her clenched fists and bitten lips showed her inner tension.

Ren Xiaoyao's speed was as fast as lightning. While dodging Senior Brother Yun's attack, his right fist, like a venomous snake emerging from a hole, struck Senior Brother Yun's ribs. Although Senior Brother Yun hastily raised his arm to block, he was knocked back several steps by Ren Xiaoyao's force.

"Huh? This kid's body movements are a bit weird. He can actually dodge Yun'er's attack." In the crowd, Master Mo's cloudy old eyes flashed a gleam of light. He was obviously a little surprised by Ren Xiaoyao's performance.

"Interesting! It seems I underestimated you." Senior Brother Yun steadied himself, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "But do you think you can defeat me like this? You're being naive!"

As soon as Senior Brother Yun finished speaking, he started moving again. This time his attack was faster and more varied, and it was obvious that he was serious.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to be careless. He dodged Senior Brother Yun's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. He found that although Senior Brother Yun's attacks were fierce, they lacked some changes. As long as he could find his attack rhythm, he could find his flaws.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaoyao stopped dodging and began to actively attack. He incorporated the body movements he learned from Xia Lin into his own attacks, his figure moving erratically like a ghost, making it difficult for Senior Brother Yun to grasp him.

For a moment, the martial arts field was filled with the flashing of swords and the shadows of two figures intertwined, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"This...how is this possible?" Junior Sister Su looked at the changes in the situation on the field, her mouth wide open in surprise. She had never thought that Ren Xiaoyao could fight with Senior Brother Yun to a stalemate.

A smile finally appeared on Xia Lin's face. She knew that Ren Xiaoyao was starting to be serious.

As time went on, Ren Xiaoyao gradually adapted to Senior Brother Yun's attack rhythm and began to seize opportunities to counterattack. He performed some unique moves that seemed ordinary but always managed to catch Senior Brother Yun off guard.

"Where on earth did this kid learn these weird moves?" Senior Brother Yun was secretly surprised. He found that he was gradually losing the upper hand.

However, Senior Brother Yun was, after all, a leader among the inner court disciples, possessing extensive combat experience. He quickly adjusted his tactics, no longer aiming for a single strike to defeat the enemy, but instead adopting a steady and cautious approach, utilizing his profound internal energy to deplete Ren Xiaoyao's strength.

The battle once again fell into a stalemate, with both sides fighting back and forth, and neither side could do anything to the other.

"It seems that if I want to defeat Senior Brother Yun, I must..." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes fixed, and he had already made a decision. He took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly changed. A powerful force surged within him...
