Chapter 2798
Kai, who held the second rank in the Harmony Realm, was fully aware that he was feigning ignorance while facing his opponent. Even though he ranked as a fifth-level cultivator in the Harmony Realm, he barely acknowledged the presence of this third-rank Harmony Realm cultivator!
“Let me show you a few moves…”
As soon as Kai stepped onto the stage, he performed a courteous gesture toward Gao Qijie and spoke up!
Gao Qijie glanced at Kai and replied with a hint of disdain, “So, were you the one who secretly broke that tile jar?”
“What do you think?”
Kai chose neither to confirm nor deny it, allowing Gao Qijie to speculate!
“I doubt it was you. A mere second-grade cultivator in the Combined Body Realm simply couldn’t have saved that tile jar. Yet here you are, challenging me on stage—aren’t you afraid of getting hurt?”
Gao Qijie was perplexed. How could someone like Kai, with such limited strength, dare to step onto the stage? He had just exhibited impressive power, easily overpowering Wajang, a third-rank Harmony Realm cultivator. How was Kai, a second-rank cultivator, bold enough to come forward?
“I’m terrified of death—just too broke and hoping to earn some money…”
Kai replied with a slight smile!
“Hehe, what a joke! You think you can climb up here and actually win some money with your strength?”
Gao Qijie found Kai’s assertion amusing!
“I’m not sure, but that wager is just too tempting for me to ignore.”
“How about this: you forfeit voluntarily and step down. I’ll take the money and resources, and we won’t have to fight.”
“I’m afraid I might accidentally hurt you…”
Kai said with a feigned serious expression!
Gao Qijie was left momentarily speechless before responding, “Kid, what on earth are you saying? Hurt me?”
“Even if my hands were tied behind my back, I could still kick you to the ground. Do you believe me?”
“I don’t believe it!” Kai shook his head!
“Since you doubt me, let me show you…”
As Gao Qijie prepared to strike, Kai interrupted him.
“Wait, let’s make a deal. You keep your hands behind your back, and if you can’t defeat me, you lose.”
Kai proposed to Gao Qijie!
“Sure, if I can’t take you down using only my legs, I’ll consider it my loss.”
Gao Qijie displayed a confident grin. As a direct descendant of the Gao family and a third-ranked Harmony Realm cultivator, failing to defeat a second-rank cultivator would surely earn him a scolding upon his return!
“Alright then, go ahead!” Kai gestured!
Gao Qijie positioned his hands behind his back and aimed a kick at Kai!
Kai quickly dodged backward as the kick approached!
Gao Qijie’s foot nearly connected with Kai’s chest; had he been a second slower, he would have been struck!
At that moment, Kai appeared slightly panicked, as if he had narrowly escaped the blow!
Seeing that his kick had missed, Gao Qijie launched another attack!
Kai dodged once more.
Gao Qijie hesitated for a moment before unleashing a flurry of rapid kicks toward Kai!
Kai looked increasingly distressed, weaving desperately to avoid the onslaught, even stumbling on stage, much to the crowd’s amusement!
Gao Qijie grew increasingly anxious; despite his relentless kicks, he had yet to land a single hit!
Each time, Kai managed to evade in ways that astonished the spectators!
“Damn it, I refuse to believe this…”
Gao Qijie stomped his foot in frustration, a chilling aura radiating across the ring as he aimed to slow Kai’s dodging!
As the frost spread toward him, Kai couldn’t help but smile, his disdain evident in his gaze!
Kai gathered the fire energy within him, channeling it into his feet, and stood still, awaiting the frost’s approach!
Before long, the frost crept down the ring toward Kai’s feet, but he remained perfectly still!
Seeing this, Gao Qijie’s smile widened. Once Kai’s feet were frozen, he wouldn’t be able to move, making it easy for him to deliver a decisive blow!
