Chapter 261 -257: Moth to a Flame
“Ha! I must secure one of these top twenty positions!”
A young man in white suddenly floated out, his words filled with immense confidence.
“Isn’t that handsome man ‘Yin Xiyang’? He also participated in the previous competition, ranking thirty-second!”
“I heard that Yin Xiyang has mastered the ‘Evil Wind Step’ to the Great Achievement Realm, his movements are ethereal and strange. He once fought against five Postnatal Late Stage strongmen, and none of them could even touch his clothes!”
The appearance of the young man in white, Yin Xiyang, caught everyone’s attention.
Whoosh!
Yin Xiyang landed on the stone platform, his skin pale and holding a jade sword, truly a sight of grace.
“You can take up a spot, I don’t care, but if you take mine, that is simply inviting humiliation!”
Chen Yu chuckled softly.
“What audacity from a mere newcomer!”
Yin Yangxi chuckled softly, completely unconcerned.
He was famous within the Devil Wind Institute for his swiftly graceful movement technique.
In past confrontations, many couldn’t even catch sight of his figure before they were instantly defeated.
Moreover, Yin Xiyang preferred to confront those who practice Body Cultivation, toying with these big fellows who have defense and strength but no chance to use it, showcasing the depth of his movement technique.
He was confident that Chen Yu’s movement technique was no match for his.
“Watch out!”
Yin Xiyang’s figure turned into a blur, suddenly vanishing from sight.
Swish, swish, swish!
A series of afterimages appeared, and Yin Yangxi approached from Chen Yu’s left side.
His arm raised, the jade sword lightly swinging down.
Just at that moment.
Boom!
Accompanied by a roaring gust, Chen Yu’s figure burst forth.
Yin Xiyang’s sword cut through empty air.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Yin Xiyang immediately pursued.
On the stone platform.
A black and a white shadow, moving traceless.
However, the distance between the two widened increasingly, Yin Xiyang just couldn’t keep up with Chen Yu’s pace.
“Who could have thought Chen Yu’s movement technique was so incredibly fast, far surpassing Yin Xiyang!”
“This is because Chen Yu’s movement is a straight line, whereas Yin Xiyang’s is an elegant curve!”
The spectacular showcase of their movement techniques greatly excited all the students.
“Damn it, how can this kid be so fast!”
Yin Xiyang cursed inwardly.
His proud movement technique unexpectedly couldn’t catch up to Chen Yu, which was a harsh blow to his ego.
Yin Xiyang immediately changed the characteristics of his movement technique, reducing the elegance between the steps to increase his speed.
His speed gradually increased, closing the distance with Chen Yu.
Just as Yin Xiyang was about to catch up,
“Kid, once I catch you, you’re dead!”
Yin Xiyang revealed a triumphant smile.
But just at that moment.
Chen Yu rapidly shifted his figure and charged toward Yin Xiyang.
Roar~
The suddenly unleashed speed, at least doubled, merely the roar of the fierce wind alone shook Yin Xiyang’s spirit.
Yin Xiyang’s change in his movement technique, at such close range, left him absolutely no chance to dodge.
Boom!
In a flash, Yin Xiyang was struck by a dark fierce wind.
Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he was sent flying by Chen Yu, akin to a monstrous beast, unable to recover from the force.
Yin Xiyang felt unimaginable pain all over his body, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was slammed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time, looking extremely wretched.
This time, Chen Yu’s strike was a bit too forceful, nearly sending Yin Xiyang flying off Demon Sky Peak.
“Chen Yu had actually been holding back before, that burst of speed was incredibly fast!”
“This guy really is like a Human-shaped Beast!”
“Mr. Yin probably won’t be able to get out of bed for several months!”
The students were incredibly shocked.
This battle significantly elevated their assessment of Chen Yu.
His straight-line movement technique was faster than Yin Xiyang’s, and his strength terrifying, possibly able to contend with Blood Slaughter Peak’s ‘King of Great Strength’, Hu Chong.
Basically, they placed Chen Yu at the Postnatal Peak level, stronger than the first challenger, Kong Yuan.
On the stone platform across from Chen Yu.
“Hehe, it’s been a while since I’ve faced a worthy Body Cultivator, wonder how many punches you can take!”
Hu Chong, as hefty as a small mountain, eyed Chen Yu eagerly rubbing his hands, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
“Hehe, Hu Chong has got his eyes on you!”
“Hu Chong isn’t known for his gentleness, those who fought him often ended up missing an arm or a leg, some even crippled for life!”
Many students who were jealous or afraid of Chen Yu couldn’t help but revel in what was to come.
“I’d also like to know how many punches you can take.”
Chen Yu faced Hu Chong, not intimidated in the slightest.
Up till now, Chen Yu had never lost in a match of strength, which filled him with supreme confidence.
“This fellow, what an attitude!”
Chen Yu’s response caused an uproar among the crowd.
Daring to compare strength with the King of Great Strength, Hu Chong—that took guts.
The competition continued.
Chen Yu, having defeated Yin Xiyang, significantly intimidated the other students.
“Kong Yuan, let’s settle our scores!”
A woman of average appearance, wielding twin swords, stepped onto the platform, challenging Kong Yuan.
Kong Yuan accepted the challenge.
After around fifty moves, Kong Yuan defeated her and held his ground.
Unable to continuously challenge the same person, other challengers had to switch targets.
A rookie challenged a Postnatal Peak competitor.
Unfortunately, he failed.
Soon after, another person challenged Kong Yuan.
Among the Postnatal Peak competitors, Kong Yuan’s strength wasn’t formidable, so rotating fighters could eventually wear him down.
After all, each person had two chances to challenge, and wasting one for a shot at the top twenty was a gamble everyone was willing to take.
Finally, after being challenged three times, Kong Yuan was defeated.
“Ha, once I rest a bit, I’ll definitely take it back!”
Kong Yuan was greatly annoyed.
If it weren’t for being targeted and fighting too many times, he would not have failed.
However, he had two chances to challenge and still had the opportunity to turn the tide.
The second round of the competition.
The process was quite lengthy.
More than a hundred students, each could challenge twice, minus a few who gave up the competition because they believed they had no hope, there would still be at least a hundred matches.
In this, many academies challenged the students of the Postnatal Peak on the stone platform, including Zheng Shifeng who was also challenged twice.
Two of them were replaced, but Zheng Shifeng persisted, securing a spot in the top twenty.
While Cao Zhongtian, Situ Lin Yu, Luo Yongguang, and other Innate Strong People, who were popular candidates, were fundamentally unchallenged.
It was as if defeating them was an impossible task.
Outside the arena.
Luo Haotian had a gloomy expression.
Chen Yu knew very well that Chen Yu had many tactics and his strength was far beyond what was currently shown.
He did not believe Luo Yongguang could definitely defeat Chen Yu, hence he hoped someone would exhaust Chen Yu’s strength in this round, so that Luo Yongguang would have a greater chance of winning.
However, since Chen Yu had defeated Yin Xiyang, no one had challenged him.
“Students of Devil Fire Institute, I have a path to point out to you!”
Luo Haotian suddenly thought of something and transmitted his voice to the students of the Devil Fire Institute.
Luo Haotian, as the top figure among the students at the Devil Fire Institute, commanded high prestige.
Hearing this transmission, the students on the field from Devil Fire Institute were immensely excited; it wasn’t easy to speak to Luo Haotian on ordinary days, and today Luo Haotian took the initiative to communicate with them.
“Currently, the twenty people on the stone platform are tough competitors, but based on my observation, the movement technique Chen Yu deployed is called ‘Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow’, which places an extreme burden on the body and cannot be sustained for long periods, otherwise he would enter a period of weakness.”
“If you challenge Chen Yu successively without engaging in direct combat but just exhaust his strength, you could significantly weaken his combat power and easily win in the end.”
Luo Haotian truly was a genius of the Ancient Clan, an elite of the institute; not only did he recognize Chen Yu’s movement technique but also knew its weaknesses intimately.
The students of Devil Fire Institute, after hearing Luo Haotian’s words, quietly discussed among themselves.
“As for Chen Yu’s weaknesses, Senior Brother Luo wouldn’t deceive us. However, Chen Yu is too fast, and among us, there are hardly a few who can contend with him.”
They were quite rational and did not act rashly.
“However, it’s clear that Senior Luo Haotian and Chen Yu are enemies, wanting to deliberately suppress him. If I can gain Senior Luo Haotian’s favor and trust, I am willing to take the risk.”
One student with a sharp face and monkey cheeks laughed.
“I originally did not expect to be in the top twenty, but as long as I challenge Chen Yu, I can win Senior Luo Haotian’s favor, and that deal still seems quite worthwhile.”
Another laughed.
“Chen Yu, let me meet you.”
One student from the Devil Fire Institute immediately rushed out.
This student was only at the Postnatal Late Stage, yet boldly challenged Chen Yu, surprising many spectators.
Chen Yu frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss.
Roar~
Employing his movement technique, Chen Yu charged brutally and viciously towards the challenger.
The opponent simply had no time to dodge and could only try his best to execute defensive maneuvers.
Boom!
Another one was sent flying off the challenge platform by Chen Yu.
Yet, after one fight, another student from the Devil Fire Institute challenged Chen Yu.
By now, most people had perceived the ploy.
“Hehe, this guy is being targeted with a successive attack strategy too.”
Below the platform, Kong Yuan laughed loudly, thinking Chen Yu would end up like him.
“Serves you right!”
The first fiery youth knocked off by Chen Yu, Wan Cheng cursed.
“When you can’t hold on anymore, this young master will challenge you!”
Yin Xiyang was waiting for the opportunity to seek revenge.
On the platform.
“Trying to wear me down with successive challenges?”
Chen Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
If it were a group of Early Innate stages using the successive attack strategy, he might have been slightly concerned.
“Chen Yu, I here challenge you!”
A woman admiring Luo Haotian also initiated a challenge towards Chen Yu.
Chen Yu treated everyone equally.
Using his movement technique, with unmatched speed, he suppressed and directly knocked the challenger away.
“Ah…”
The woman screamed as she was blasted into the distance.

After the fight.
Another person challenged Chen Yu.
“How rude, even a beauty is directly knocked away!”
This elegant young man deeply despised Chen Yu’s recent actions.
“Get lost!”
Chen Yu transformed into a pitch-black fierce wind, sweeping out.
Boom!
The elegant young man had just entered the range of the stone platform and hadn’t even landed when he was struck out of the arena by Chen Yu.
“This kid is even faster than before!”
“I refuse to believe that we can’t wear this kid down!”
The Devil Fire Institute students all clenched their teeth with resentment.
“Brother Chen, you need to be careful!”
Yang Zhang was also among these hundred plus people, and he heard clearly everything about the Devil Fire Institute students’ plan.
Additionally, knowing he had no hope of breaking into the top twenty, he did not initiate a challenge.
On the stone platform.
“Hmph, truly shameless!”
The cold-hearted girl Nie Xuan could hardly stand it, snorting softly.
Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, Nie Xuan actually spoke out against the unfair treatment towards him.
Nie Xuan had significant fame among the newcomers, and her words also resonated with many.
“Chen Yu, there is still a fight between us; I want to personally defeat you, so don’t lose here.”
Nie Xuan’s bright black pupils swept towards Chen Yu.
“Ha ha, they are but moths to a flame!”
Chen Yu burst out laughing.
Hearing this, the students from Devil Fire Institute looked extremely embarrassed.
Chen Yu actually compared them to moths!
“So many moths can also extinguish your flame.”
One student retorted.
“Ha ha, the corpses of moths will only make the flame more brilliant and more ferocious!”
Chen Yu’s words were shocking, revealing strong confidence and dominance.
