I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 63: The Dazzling Strike

"Zhang Yuan?"

Wei Changfeng showed a hint of interest: "What’s his background?"

Responding to the squad leader was Zhao Jinlan, the deputy hall master of the Battle Hall!

She introduced Zhang Yuan’s background in detail, emphasizing at the end: "Instructor Dong Yuanwei sees great potential in this child and personally vouched for him, allowing him to pass the initiation assessment early."

"Killing Niu Dali was Zhang Yuan’s combat achievement on his first external mission!"

Wei Changfeng quietly listened and then nodded, saying: "Hmm, he is a promising talent. Chen Zhize deserves credit for the recommendation and Dong Yuanwei for the guidance, record a merit for both of them."

Everyone in the council chamber was astonished.

A mere outsider from a common family, just by chance killing a remnant of the White Cloth Bandits, not only earned a rich reward himself but also brought credit to those who recommended and taught him.

For Wei Changfeng to commend a merit in person, even if a small one, was no ordinary matter!

The blue-faced man, Master Wang, swallowed hard, wanting to say something but forcibly held back.

Elder Li clapped his hands in admiration and said, "The squad leader is wise. Our Furious Whale Gang needs such outstanding young talents to bring in fresh blood. Zhang Yuan is completely worth cultivating!"

This made Master Wang unable to sit still, and he immediately retorted: "No matter how exceptional he is, he’s still an outsider. Plus, he hasn’t been with us for long. I think he should be tested several times to ensure his loyalty before we can trust him with responsibilities!"

Elder Li, blowing his beard, glared and said, "Nonsense!"

"Enough!"

Wei Changfeng shouted in a deep voice: "The enemy is at hand; now is not the time for internal strife!"

His words carried significant weight.

Both Master Wang and Elder Li closed their mouths.

They dared not continue arguing, fearing they might truly anger the squad leader.

Wei Changfeng took a deep breath and suddenly reached out with a hand, making a grasping motion towards the air.

From three steps away, the head placed on the table suddenly jumped up, and under the pull of an invisible force, flew into the hands of this Tier Four martial artist!

Wei Changfeng held the head up to carefully examine it, the corner of his mouth curling into a cryptic smile.

He tossed the head back to its original place and said blandly: "Ten years ago, I fought once with this Niu Dali and took a blow from his axe."

Everyone exchanged glances—no one expected that Wei Changfeng had such a past grudge with Niu Dali.

Wei Changfeng smiled and continued: "I almost lost an arm, but I also returned a palm strike, shattered his dantian, rendering him forever unable to step into Tier Four."

"Now, dying at the hands of my Furious Whale disciples is also a twist of fate!"

The squad leader waved his hand: "That’s it for today. Go back and make your preparations." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Everyone rose and saluted in unison: "By your command!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan, who was still in the large martial arts arena, had no idea that some top figures of the sub-branch got into a dispute because of him.

He was patiently waiting for Dong Yuanwei to return.

As they say, having someone in power helps get things done.

If it weren’t for the assistance of this Battle Hall instructor, if Zhang Yuan went to apply at the Inner Hall by himself, it would likely have been quite a hassle.

He might even have his merit tricked away!

As it turned out, before Zhang Yuan could wait for Dong Yuanwei, a young man in white appeared before him.

It was Xu Zhengyang!

"Zhang Yuan!"

The youth lifted his chin and said: "I know you just made a great achievement, but don’t get cocky, I will surpass you soon!"

Zhang Yuan was resigned.

Ever since he began learning the Thunderous Wave Palm.

When Zhang Yuan surpassed the other, this direct lineage disciple of the Furious Whale Gang viewed him as his top rival.

After losing several times, he only became more determined!

Zhang Yuan truly did not want to deal with him.

However, this guy was persistent and had grown popular among the new disciples, gradually becoming their leader.

Because of this, Zhang Yuan found himself isolated and rejected by most.

Although he didn’t mind.

Yet Xu Zhengyang came to him now and then to taunt, which was annoying.

Zhang Yuan suspected this guy saw him as a whetstone.

Most likely under the guidance of his elders!

"Surpass me?"

Zhang Yuan sneered: "With the help of your Elder grandfather?"

Xu Zhengyang’s grandfather, Xu Jinghong, was one of the elders of the Furious Whale Gang. His father and uncles were no ordinary figures either.

The Xu family held considerable influence in the Linhai Sub-Branch.

Honestly, Zhang Yuan didn’t intend to become enemies with them.

After all, Xu Zhengyang’s character couldn’t really be called bad.

But the issue was, Zhang Yuan had neither the time nor the energy to be tangled up with him, so he decided to cut through the red tape!

Mentioning Xu Jinghong hit Xu Zhengyang’s sore spot.

The latter’s handsome face immediately flushed red: "Zhang Yuan, don’t you dare insult my grandfather, if you have the guts, meet me at the Reconciliation Platform!"

"No need for that hassle."

Zhang Yuan drew his saber and said in a deep voice: "If you can take one strike from me, I’ll kneel and apologize to your grandfather right now."

"If you can’t, then don’t ever appear in front of me again, spouting nonsense!"

Clang!

Infuriated, Xu Zhengyang immediately drew his blade: "Deal!"

"Watch out!"

Without hesitation, Zhang Yuan swung his Yanling Saber at the other.

Wave Cutting First Technique!

Before striking, he simultaneously activated the extraordinary abilities of the Black Giant Ant and the Jade Mantis, granting himself double strength and intermediate saber technique mastery.

The long blade sliced through the air, rushing at Xu Zhengyang’s forehead with unstoppable speed!

Xu Zhengyang only saw the flickering sword aura before him, an overwhelming momentum rushing at him.

Enveloping him instantly.

The young man felt like he was falling into an icy abyss, as if facing the raging torrents of Celestial Horse River, overwhelmed with a deep sense of helplessness.

He instinctively closed his eyes.

He didn’t even have the courage to raise his blade in defense.

It’s over!

Xu Zhengyang’s mind went blank, gripped by the terror of death.

But Zhang Yuan’s strike didn’t truly fall, stopping dead in front of Xu Zhengyang’s forehead.

Looking at the ashen face of his opponent, Zhang Yuan sheathed his blade with a chuckle: "Go practice more."

Xu Zhengyang slowly opened his eyes, his awareness gradually returning.

His face flushed red again, lips quivering as he turned and ran away, hiding his face in his sleeves!

All of this young man’s pride and confidence were utterly shattered by Zhang Yuan’s strike.

He only wanted to go home and find his mom now!

Watching Xu Zhengyang’s figure disappear from sight, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head.

In truth, Zhang Yuan didn’t intend to hit him this hard.

But he had his own goals and ambitions, completely different from Xu Zhengyang.

Different paths lead to disagreement.

Zhang Yuan would rather risk offending the Xu family than play child’s games with him.

He turned around, his gaze meeting Dong Yuanwei standing not far away.

The latter’s eyes were full of shock.

Dong Yuanwei had returned just in time to witness the duel between Zhang Yuan and Xu Zhengyang.

Zhang Yuan’s breathtaking strike.

Even left this Battle Hall instructor dumbstruck!
