Chapter 418: Li Yuan’s Defeat

In the Piao Miao Holy Land.

As the Holy Son, Li Yuan was surrounded and mocked by visiting disciples from the Nine Nether Holy Land.

Leading them was, of course, the ever-imposing Holy Son of the Nine Nether Holy Land, Ma Teng.

At this moment, Li Yuan’s face was turning red like an anger meter, gradually intensifying with each taunt.

Finally.

Seeing Wang Haoran’s amused expression and his goddess happily leaning in his arms.

Li Yuan couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Shut up, all of you!”

He shouted angrily.

At the same time, he unleashed his peak cultivation aura “fully.”

This immediately silenced the surrounding Nine Nether Holy Land disciples.

Except for Ma Teng, who was also a Holy Son.

Even after Li Yuan’s “furious” outburst, Ma Teng maintained a disdainful expression.

Standing in front of the Nine Nether disciples, he continued to mock Li Yuan.

“Li Yuan, this is all you amount to.”

He glanced at Wang Haoran and Lin Xixue before continuing:

“Too scared to confront the real problem, so you take it out on my junior brothers and sisters.”

“Such a coward, no wonder Lin Xixue doesn’t like you!”

Ma Teng deliberately said hurtful things.

And Li Yuan, naturally following the plot, began to stomp his feet—

“Ma Teng, you repeatedly slander me; this is too much!”

“Do you really think I don’t dare to teach you a lesson?!”

However.

Ma Teng’s response was only more arrogant laughter:

“Hahaha! Li Yuan, I didn’t expect a lapdog like you to grow a spine!”

“Fine, I’m right here. Come and teach me a lesson!”

With that, Ma Teng, who had walked up to Li Yuan.

Displayed his early-stage Grandmaster aura and taunting expression—

“I’m just afraid you’ll chicken out and hide like a turtle!”

“You—!”

Naturally, Ma Teng’s display shocked both Li Yuan and the Piao Miao Holy Land disciples.

“You’ve already advanced to Grandmaster?!”

“Of course! I successfully advanced to early-stage Grandmaster a week ago!”

Under the admiring gazes of his junior brothers and sisters, Ma Teng proudly taunted Li Yuan: “Didn’t you say you’d teach me a lesson? Come on then!”

“Don’t go back on your word!”

“You, you, you!” Li Yuan clutched his chest in anger.

Surrounded by everyone, especially his goddess Lin Xixue, he was in a tough spot.

(Sigh, as a mid-stage Grandmaster, I have to be humiliated by this punk Ma Teng!)

(But for the plot, I’ll endure!)

Then.

After making eye contact with the “protagonist” Wang Haoran and being provoked by his mocking gaze.

Li Yuan, burning with rage, shouted.

And actually attacked Ma Teng!

“Being a Grandmaster first is no big deal!?”

“I’m not afraid of you!”

“Today, I, Li Yuan, will break the rule that a Grandmaster can’t be defeated by a lesser realm!”

(Of course, as the “pathetic villain,” I can’t succeed!)

(This glory is reserved for the protagonist!)

Li Yuan charged, falling right into Ma Teng’s trap.

“Good timing!” Ma Teng also started to fight.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two Holy Sons began to brawl.

At this moment, although Li Yuan was “furious,” he knew he couldn’t win head-on.

So, he not only struck first but also secretly used his control skill—

“Binding Horse Tangle!”

Seeing Ma Teng restrained, Li Yuan immediately went for a heavy blow to his chest—

“Hao Tian Fist!”

However, just as his fist was about to land.

Ma Teng moved faster, delivering a side kick.

As if Li Yuan’s control had no effect.

“Bang!”

Li Yuan fell heavily to the ground, looking pained.

But internally, he thought—

(Ma Teng, thanks for the kick… I mean, thanks for helping me speed up the plot and earn points faster!)

According to the “original plot,” he should be humiliated by Ma Teng here.

“I’ve been kicked away; that should be enough, right?”

Thinking this, Li Yuan was about to pretend to be too injured to get up, waiting for Ma Teng’s taunts.

But nearby—

“Senior Brother Li Yuan, keep fighting! Don’t let a Nine Nether Holy Land person act arrogantly!”

“We believe you can win!”

Someone loudly shouted with “hope.”

With this start, and a few others echoing loudly.

The surrounding Piao Miao Holy Land disciples began to cheer for Li Yuan.

“Senior Brother, keep going!”

Someone even ran over to help him up!

“This…” Li Yuan felt awkward.

He wanted to clutch his chest and fall, but with his arm firmly held, he couldn’t just lie down.

Meanwhile.

Ma Teng, who had stopped to taunt Li Yuan, saw the Piao Miao Holy Land disciples’ “unity.”

He changed his mind and coldly charged again.

At this moment, the disciple supporting Li Yuan was also scared and moved aside.

Leaving Li Yuan frustrated—

(Damn! Who started this cheering nonsense!)

(My plot today is to be utterly defeated by Ma Teng!)

(To highlight the protagonist later!)

(You want me to keep fighting, just to keep getting beaten by Ma Teng!)

(System, can I… surrender?)

<Host, no. Today’s “pathetic villain” plot is—”being knocked down and unable to get up, then being taunted by Ma Teng.”>

<The focus is “unable to get up” and “being taunted.”>

<Host, you haven’t completed any of it!>

(……)

So.

They continued to fight a few more rounds.

Li Yuan deliberately held back to lose.

But Ma Teng seemed to have a plan, ignoring several chances to knock Li Yuan down.

Toying with him like a cat with a mouse.

(Damn it, Ma Teng, hurry up!)

(If you delay, I’ll slap you!)

<Host, the plot, the plot!>

(……)

(I know, I’ll endure!)

Finally.

Caught off guard, Li Yuan was kicked in the butt by Ma Teng.

He fell forward, face-first into the ground—

“Hahaha!”

Ma Teng finally laughed heartily.

After the two Holy Sons determined the victor.

The victorious Nine Nether disciples taunted the defeated Piao Miao disciples:

“Weak and a lapdog.”

“What’s the use of following such a Holy Son! Haha!”

Naturally, seeing the “downed” Li Yuan, the Piao Miao disciples looked upset but couldn’t refute.

They could only watch as Ma Teng approached their Holy Son Li Yuan, looking down—

“How dare you be compared to me!”

“Pathetic dog, eat shit!”
