"Needle Pierces the Firmament!"
The words fell.
The countless silver needles in the sky converged into a giant needle the size of a chopstick, its radiance blinding.
The power emanating from it…
Was utterly astonishing.
This needle could pierce the heavens!
The crowd below was already numb, but witnessing this, their hearts still thrummed with excitement, unable to calm themselves for a long time.
Many gasped in disbelief.
Zheng Zhongtian…
His mastery of needle manipulation was unrivaled!
The members of the Medical Association, upon seeing this move, turned ashen-faced, their hopes extinguished.
The defeat was sealed!
They could start considering the arrangements for what came next!
"Kid, you should be proud to fall to this needle!"
Zheng Zhongtian pointed with his finger, and the giant silver needle streaked towards Bai Zihe.
Carrying immense power.
Carrying a sharp edge.
Carrying a piercing sonic boom.
In the next second, the needle reached Bai Zihe.
Facing this move, Bai Zihe's expression was calm, and he uttered four words: "Courting death."
The words fell.
A golden needle emerged from thin air.
As soon as it appeared, the radiance of the giant silver needle dimmed considerably.
The entire area was instantly bathed in golden light, overpowering the midday sun and casting everything and everyone present in a golden hue.
It was terrifying!
What was happening?
Everyone was stunned.
But there was no time to ponder. The golden needle reached the giant silver needle in the blink of an eye.
Under the watchful eyes of all, it collided with the silver needle.
One gold, one silver.
One small, one large.
Their sizes were disproportionate.
Yet their brilliance was a stark contrast.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound echoed across the arena, making everyone's hearts tremble.
The next moment…
"Crackling—"
The giant silver needle shattered instantly, unable to last even half a second.
All the silver needles, upon collision, lost their luster and became indistinguishable from ordinary embroidery needles, falling to the ground.
Utterly defenseless.
All of this happened so violently, so quickly.
So much so that…
The sneer on Zheng Zhongtian's face remained frozen.
So much so that…
The despair on the faces of the Medical Association members was still etched there, now solidified.
So much so that…
Everyone in the audience widened their eyes, almost popping out of their sockets, their faces filled with ineffable shock and disbelief.
"Bow and apologize."
Bai Zihe's soft voice suddenly jolted everyone back to reality.
All eyes turned to Zheng Zhongtian.
Zheng Zhongtian had lost…
He had to apologize to Bai Zihe and Fang Yongzheng!
"Impossible!"
Zheng Zhongtian's face was extremely grim, as dark as ink, but his words were defiant.
With that, he turned and walked towards the exit below the high platform.
Since he had lost…
There was nothing more to say. Staying here would only bring more shame; it was better to leave as soon as possible.
"Slap!"
The next moment, Bai Zihe flashed in front of him and, without mercy, slapped him across the face, sending Zheng Zhongtian tumbling twice on the ground.
Bai Zihe's voice was ice-cold: "Will you apologize?"
"Unpossib—"
"Slap!"
Bai Zihe slapped him again, snorting coldly, "Wrong answer. I'll ask you again, will you apologize?"
"No—"
"Slap!"
Bai Zihe's eyes shot out beams of cold light: "Still wrong. You may continue."
This posture.
This aura.
It was as if Bai Zihe would continue slapping until Zheng Zhongtian apologized.
"I…"
Zheng Zhongtian's eyes were like knives and swords, as if he could have glared Bai Zihe to death, assuming gazes could kill.
Unfortunately, they couldn't.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and came before Fang Yongzheng, bowed, and apologized, his voice filled with boundless hatred: "I'm sorry."
With that, he glared fiercely at Bai Zihe and stormed off the stage.
Only then did everyone react.
And they were all astonished by Bai Zihe's courage and methods.
This young man…
He was not old, but his methods were truly ruthless, and his needle skills were truly formidable!
But he was destined not to go far!
Because.
He had undoubtedly offended the Dan Pagoda today!
The Grand Elder of the Dan Pagoda had his natal silver needles broken in public, had been slapped repeatedly in public, and had been humiliated like this in public…
How could they let this go?
