They decided which group could challenge first by flipping a coin. 

"Good!" Wu Lei was pleased with the result. "Who wants to fight first?"

"Village head, let me be the first fighter." Siyi spoke abruptly. "I will challenge Ming because I believe I can defeat him later." 

Wu Lei and the others exchange a glance.

'Ming?'

They nodded their heads after finding out that he wanted to challenge Ming.

They believed in Siyi because he was one of the most powerful martial artists in Solaris village.

Wu Lei tapped Siyi's right shoulder and spoke, "Alright. You will fight first, but be careful. Don't underestimate your opponent because one mistake can change the result of the fight."

"Understood, village head." After saying that, Siyi stepped forward. "I will be the first fighter, and I choose Ming as my opponent."

"Oh, you chose me as your opponent? I hope you won't let me down later." Ming was not afraid of Siyi.

Like Siyi, he also had confidence in himself. He believed he could defeat Siyi later.

Siyi and Ming were currently standing in the center of the fight zone. They looked each other in the eye as if they were observing their opponent.

"Beat him, instructor Ming!" Gaozhi shouted. "Show him how powerful Sanlow village's first instructor is."

"Instructor Siyi, defeat him quickly!" Huang Hu uttered, "Show them how strong you are."

Ming shifted his gaze from Siyi's eyes to his right hand.

'He wants to fight me barehanded?!'

He was a little shocked.

"Siyi, are you sure you want to fight me barehanded?" Ming inquired, "If I win the duel, you won't use it as an excuse, right?" 

"I'm a martial artist who values honor very highly, so I won't make an excuse if I lose to you later." Siyi responded, "Instead, I think you are the one who will make an excuse."

"Haha. Win and lose are normal in a fight. I would not feel embarrassed if I lost to someone, but…." Ming stopped his words halfway before rushing toward Siyi and attacking him. "I don't think I will lose to you."

Everyone's eyes were on them when Ming made his move.

*Thrust…Slash…Thrust…

Ming attacked Siyi continuously and from all directions.

He did not give Siyi a chance to counterattack because he wanted to defeat Siyi as quickly as possible.

It would lift the spirits of the Sanlow village people if he could defeat Siyi quickly. That was why he tried his best to defeat Siyi in the shortest time possible.

However, Siyi was a powerful martial artist and had a lot of fighting experience, so defeating him was not easy.

Not only did he fail to defeat Siyi in a short amount of time, but he always failed to land an attack on Siyi's body until now.

Did he hate it?

Of course not!

Instead, Ming grinned happily because he felt like his blood was boiling when he fought against a strong martial artist.

"Haha. This is fun. This is exciting!" Ming attacked Siyi as he laughed happily.

He decided to enjoy the fight because he could not defeat Siyi in the shortest time possible. 

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

They exchanged more than twenty attacks in ten seconds. 

Because both of them were martial artists at the low-level grandmasters stage, the speed of their attacks was fast.

Due to how fast their attacks were, Huang Hu and Gaozhi could not follow their attacks with their eyes.

'So fast! They are so fast!'

These were the words that appeared in their minds.

All martial artists at the master stage could not follow their attacks. Only one person could follow their movements and attacks.

That person was none other than Xiao Tian! 

Yes, Xiao Tian was the only one who could follow their movements and attacks with his eyes!

'They are strong.' 

He admitted they were strong, but he believed he could defeat them if they fought.

Even though Siyi and Ming were strong, but they were not as powerful as Dan, the first elder of Sanlow village.

Xiao Tian defeated Dan when they fought at Kingstrie Lake a few days ago, so he believed he could defeat Siyi and Ming if they fought.

Bang!

After fighting fiercely for several minutes, Siyi was the first to land a hit successfully.

"Nice!" Huang Hu shouted happily. "Don't waste the opportunity, instructor Siyi. Keep attacking him! Beat him up!"

Ming rose to his feet and took one step back. "Haha. This is exciting. I would love to keep fighting you, but I have to end it now."

*Inhale…exhale…inhale…exhale…

Ming started absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into his body.

Battle instinct!

Yes, he wanted to fight in battle instinct mode!

"Battle instinct? Coincidently, I also think the same." After saying that, Siyi did the same thing.

Even though they were not candidates to be the Ruler, they could use battle instinct.

*Shui…

They instantly rushed toward each other.

Because they were in battle instinct mode, every second was important.

"Battle instinct is indeed amazing." Huang Hu clenched his fists.

He tried to feel the energy of heaven and earth countless times, but he always failed. 

That was why he was a little jealous when he saw Siyi and Ming fighting in battle instinct mode.

It just so happened that the two of them could use seven percent of the energy of heaven and earth, so they were still fighting equally.

However, it did not last long because Siyi could stay in battle instinct mode for nine seconds while Ming was only eight seconds. 

Even though the difference was only one second, but Siyi could do many attacks in one second because he was in battle instinct mode.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Siyi landed seven attacks on Ming's body in a second.

"Uakkk…" Ming was thrown three meters from where he was.

He could not stand up after falling to the ground.

"We lost! Stop now!" Fu Lim shouted when he saw Ming's condition.

"Haha." Even though he lost the fight, Ming was not sad at all. 

There were two reasons for this.

First, he enjoyed the fight and last, they would kill Siyi and the others later. 

"Huft…" Siyi, who only had a little stamina left, walked toward Wu Lei and the others.

"Well done, instructor Siyi!" Huang Hu said happily.

"Well done, Siyi."

"Well done, Siyi."

"Well done, Siyi."

One by one, his fellow villagers congratulated him for winning the fight.

Siyi smiled happily. "Un."

"Well done, Siyi." Wu Lei tapped Siyi's shoulders. "Your victory means a lot for us because it lifts the spirits of our people."

"Thank you, village head." Siyi was happy after hearing it.

Even though Ming lost the fight, Fu Lim and the others behaved normally because whatever the result of their duel, the ending would be the same.

Wu Lei and the others would die in their hands!

Yes, they believed they could kill Wu Lei and the others later.

After Ming returned to his group, Yao Huan gave him a special medicine. "Drink this. You will be able to fight again in ten minutes."

Ming wasted no time and instantly drank it.

Coincidently, Xiao Tian saw it.

'What is it?'

He was curious about it.

"Alright, let's continuous the fight." Fu Lim uttered, "Gaozhi, you will fight next."

"Understood, village head." After saying that, Gaozhi stepped forward.

Huang Hu grabbed his spear tightly because he believed Gaozhi would choose him.

However, his guess was wrong because Gaozhi did not choose him. "I chose Qiao Luli to be my opponent."
