　　As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of boos in the field.
Because anyone could see that the collision by Xu Taiping earlier relied only on the strength of his own and did not use spells at all.
　　“The force of that collision just now was by no means something that an ordinary cultivator could do. Even the supreme martial artist among the warriors might not have such force. Please ask Elder Heilong to check the truth！”
　　Jin Hezhi ignored the boos from the crowd and still used his thick true essence to suppress the hubbub in the field and said loudly.
　　According to the competition rules, he indeed had the right to raise doubts.
　　“Elder Black Dragon, that strike just now was indeed a bit suspicious.”
　　“That’s right. Even a Martial Venerable Realm warrior would find it difficult to have such strength and physical constitution.”
　　At this time, among the several elders in charge of the examination supervision, two of them also spoke up in agreement.
　　Although it was very clear that these two people were partial to the First Peak, as the chief examiner, Elder Black Dragon had the obligation to listen to the opinions of the examination supervision elders.
　　“Xu Taiping, someone suspects that you cheated. Do you have a way to prove your innocence？”
　　Black Dragon stood up from the chief examiner’s seat and looked at Xu Taiping.
　　“If you don’t have a way to prove your innocence, this old man will personally check.”
　　He then added another sentence.
　　Although this was proposed by Jin Hezhi, in fact, Elder Black Dragon himself also had doubts about Xu Taiping’s strike just now.
Because, unlike the other cultivators present, as a member of the Monster Race he was very proficient (proficient in) in the art of physical training. The strength displayed by Xu Taiping in that strike just now, even he might not be able to easily achieve, let a human cultivator who had only cultivated for more than ten years?
　　“You are spitting blood！”
　　After hearing Elder Black Dragon’s words, before Xu Taiping could speak, Zhao Linglong had already started to curse.
　　“Whether my junior brother cheated or not, anyone with eyes present can see it！”
　　“Do you think that just because my father has been arrested by you, the disciples of the Seventh Peak can be easily bullied by you？ Since when has our Qingxuan become such a filthy place！”
　　The more Zhao Linglong spoke, the more excited she became.
　　After hearing these words, the several elders who approved of inspecting Xu Taiping each had an ashen face.
　　“Zhao Linglong, if you are so rude again, get out of the Five Elders Pool for me！”
On the examiner’s seat, a long-haired man in white stood up with a stern face and pointed at Zhao Linglong and angrily denounced ed.
　　This person Xu Taiping recognized.
　　It was precisely Lu Chen’s father, Lu Zimu.
　　This person had always been close to the First Peak, and it was only natural for him to be partial to Jin Hezhi.
　　“I…”
　　“Elder Lu, today I am the chief examiner.”
　　Zhao Linglong wanted to refute, but was suppressed by the voice of Elder Black Dragon.
　　After hearing this, Lu Zimu sat back tactfully.
“Little Linglong girl, with me here, no one will deliberately make things difficult for your Seventh Peak. However, your little junior brother Taiping is indeed a bit suspicious.
　　Elder Black Dragon said in a very rare and extremely gentle tone.
　　“But…”
　　“Senior Sister.”
　　Zhao Linglong wanted to refute again, but was interrupted by Xu Taiping.
　　“The innocent will remain innocent.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled faintly at Zhao Linglong.
　　Then, he cupped his hands towards Elder Black Dragon and said,
　　“Elder Black Dragon, this disciple has already thought of a way to prove myself.”
　　Seeing this, Elder Black Dragon nodded in satisfaction.
　　“Let’s　hear　it.”
　　He then said loudly.
　　“Since Senior Brother Jin and Elder Lu both suspect that I cheated in the last competition, then I would like to ask the two of them to each take one of my punches.”
　　Xu Taiping first looked at Jin Hezhi behind him, and then turned his gaze to Lu Zimu.
　　Hearing this, there was another uproar in the stands around the Five Elders Pool.
　　And in the midst of this uproar, Xu Taiping continued calmly,
　　“When I throw this punch, I will not use any magic, only my own strength. At that time, if the strength of my punch is not as strong as the strength in the last competition, Elder Black Dragon, you, as well as Senior Brother Jin and Elder Lu, will definitely be able to detect it.”
　　Hearing this, both Jin Hezhi and Lu Zimu furrowed their brows tightly.
　　Obviously, neither of them expected that Xu Taiping would use them to prove himself.
　　And after hearing this, Elder Black Dragon smiled, and then looked at Jin Hezhi and Lu Zimu respectively and said,
　　“Jin Hezhi, Elder Lu, what do you two think？”
　　Although the two of them were very reluctant, they had no way to refuse.
　　Because if they refused, it would be tantamount to admitting in disguise that they had just been slandering Xu Taiping.
　　“Elder Black Dragon, this disciple is willing to take his punch！”
　　After only a slight hesitation, Jin Hezhi readily agreed.
Unlike Lu Zimu, he truly believed that Xu Taiping’s previous collision was due to a spell that they were not familiar with. thereby enhancing his strength.
　　“Then this old man can also give it a try.”
　　Lu Zimu also stood up with a proud face at this time.
　　“However, if this fraud is confirmed, please ask Elder Black Dragon to remove him from this Seven Peaks Competition.”
　　He then added another sentence.
　　“Don’t worry, this old man will never cover up any disciple.”
　　Black Dragon said loudly.
　　……
　　A　moment　later.
　　Xu Taiping, Jin Hezhi, and Lu Zimu were all standing on the stone platform in the center of Five Elders Pool.
　　The tall Elder Black Dragon stood beside the three of them.
　　“Elder Black Dragon, in order to verify my strength, I will not use Zhenyuan (true essence) when I punch, so please also ask Senior Jin and Elder Lu not to use Zhenyuan to resist, otherwise, I’m afraid the effect won’t be seen.”
　　Before punching, Xu Taiping looked at Elder Black Dragon beside him and confirmed with him.
　　“Naturally.”
　　Before Jin Hezhi and Lu Zimu could speak, Elder Black Dragon readily agreed.
　　“Little fellow, come on, a punch without using Zhenyuan, how much strength can it have？”
　　Lu Zimu looked at Xu Taiping impatiently, took a step forward, and patted his chest and said.
　　“Then this junior will be offended.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded, assumed the stance of the ordinary Green Ox Fist, then took a deep breath and punched towards Lu Zimu.
　　Just at the moment when this punch was thrown, the muscles and bones all over his body suddenly wriggled and swelled, instantly changing from the Sleeping Flood Dragon Physique to the Awakened Flood Dragon Physique.
　　“Boom！”
　　Amid the sound of breaking through the air, Xu Taiping’s muscular arm, with a clenched fist, directly smashed into Lu Zimu’s chest.
　　With a “bang” sound, Lu Zimu’s clothes burst, and a cloud of blood mist burst out all over his body, and then his body flew upside down from the ground.
　　Xu Taiping’s this punch not only used the ten thousand jun strength of the Python Flood Dragon Physique, but also used the thousand-fold strength.
　　Without the protection of true essence, even a powerhouse at the peak of the Mysterious Realm like Lu Zimu couldn’t withstand this punch.
As Lu Zimu’s body “plopped” into the pool, the crashing sound in the entire field rang out again.
And in the midst of this sound, Xu Taiping looked at Jin Hezhi and then smiled at him and said:
　　“Senior Brother Jin, it’s your turn to take a punch from me next.”
