A look of disgust flashed past Qu Liuxi's eyes. She grabbed Li Hu's arm with both hands, wrapped her body around Li Hu's shoulder, and then wrapped her arms around Li Hu's neck. Li Hu instantly felt suffocated and tried to grab at the back, but he couldn't. He kept spinning around, his face turning redder and redder.
Qu Liuer squatted on Li Hu's back, and tightly grabbed Li Hu's neck. Li Hu turned around and jumped up, smashing his back against the wall. Qu Liuxi's body was pushed up against Li Hu's back. Li Hu's back smashed into the wall, but he was not able to harm Qu Liuer at all. No matter how Li Hu struggled, Qu Liuer's arm did not loosen.
After a few minutes, Li Hu finally couldn't hold on any longer and his body heavily fell down, his face turning purple.
Qu Liuxi gracefully jumped to the side, and her skirt fluttered down, as though she was a fairy. She looked at Li Hu who had fallen to the ground and cupped her fist: "Heavenly Awakening Sect Qu Liuxi, thank you for your guidance."
He was a complete mess.
Chapter 45 - Two, Three
No one present had expected that a member of the Heavenly Enlightenment Martial House would actually win. Not only that, but he won so easily and decisively. The bear-like burly man, Li Hu, did not show any sign of superiority in front of the skinny Qu Liuxi. This was such a stark contrast. One was a delicate girl, and the other was a strong man. In the end, it seemed that the weak side had won in an extremely powerful manner.
When Qu Liuxi's feet gently landed on the ground, then cupped her fists and said "Heavenly Awakening Sect Qu Liuxi, thank you for your guidance", the crowd went silent for a while, and then, a wave of cheers followed. Many of the people who bought Phantom Institute's victory couldn't help but follow along.
At that moment, Qu Liuxi's eyes lit up with a confident light.
An Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Qu Liuxi. Qu Liuxi also looked at him, his face slightly flushed.
Fatty's palms were already red as he shouted the loudest, "Xiao Liu'er, you're awesome!"
Qu Liuxi walked back with a red face, looking cute with her small steps.
On the other hand, Zhen Zhuangbi's face became even uglier. He didn't really pay much attention to this competition. Those guys in the Martial Arts Academy didn't have a teacher to teach them, and they also lacked books and techniques for cultivation. It would be strange if these kids could win against the disciples that the academy had taught with utmost care. But now that something strange had happened, he could not accept it.
Several disciples of the academy went up to carry Li Hu back. Because of his brain's lack of oxygen, Li Hu was still in a semi-conscious state. Qu Liuxi had already shown mercy, if not the palm strike on the back of Li Hu's neck would have crippled him.
"You can consider yourselves lucky."
Zhen Zhuangbi said to An Zheng with a cold face: "Everyone has their luck, whoever goes out will probably step on dog shit. Don't be too complacent, there are still two matches left, and if you all lose one match, that's that. "
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and didn't even speak.
Zhen Zhuangbi turned around: "Who will fight in the second round."
Chen Zhou saw that An Zheng did not move, so he looked at Feng Xiao Shi who was standing beside him. Feng Xiaosheng seemed to be very afraid of Chen Zhou, so he took a step forward, "Vice Principal, this disciple is willing to fight for the Academy."
Zhen Zhuangbi nodded his head, "Alright then, don't embarrass the academy again!"
Feng Xiaoshui clasped her fists, "Vice Principal, don't worry, I'm not as stupid as that Li Hu."
Fatty stretched his shoulders and took a step forward. "It's my turn now."
Just as he was about to step forward, An Zheng suddenly stepped forward first.
The fatty was startled, he wanted to say An Zheng, you still have not eaten, so you can't go up. An Zheng had already walked to the center of the road and cupped his fists.
Feng Xiao had walked halfway when he saw An Zheng coming up, and immediately hesitated, he turned his head to look at Chen Zhou, and realised that Chen Zhou's face was also a little ugly. Chen Zhou thought An Zheng would wait until the end to make his move, but in the end An Zheng came out first, so it was too late for him to think it through. He frowned and thought for a while, then said to Zhen Zhuangbi: "Vice Principal, let me fight this round."
Zhen Zhuangbi took the benefits from Chen Zhou, of course he would not oppose it. But Gao Sanduo, who was sitting opposite of him, sneered: "What, do you know that your side is no match for your side, and you plan on changing your side? I say, Vice Principal Zhen, do you even want face in this academy anymore? If Principal Mu were to hear that you had ruined the academy's reputation after your return, I'm afraid that your days would not be so good. This Fantasy City doesn't have any good people. Everyone is well aware of what kind of character we have, but we all want face. "
Zhen Zhuangbi slapped his face: "No matter what, you shouldn't be so shameless, right?"
Zhen Zhuangbi's expression did not stop changing, and he subconsciously turned to look at Qiu Changchen.
Qiu Changchen said: "You are the one presiding over this competition, I will watch it, but I think we should still take the academy's face into consideration."
Zhen Zhuangbi felt that something was amiss, but he did not dare disobey Qiu Changchen. Therefore, he turned around and looked at Chen Zhou. "Wait for the next match."
Chen Zhou still wanted to say something, but Zhen Zhuangbi's face turned cold: "Shut up!"
Chen Zhou's eyes flashed with viciousness, but in the end, he didn't dare to step forward. He was not afraid of Zhen Zhuangbi, he was afraid of Qiu Changchen. Qiu Changchen was the deputy general of the State of Yan's Tie Liuhuo, and he had the entire State of Yan's military backing. Even if he accepted the Chen family's hidden strength, he was simply unable to compare with the strength of an entire country. At this time, if he let Qiu Changchen be disgraced in public, Qiu Changchen would definitely not let him have a good time either.
So, Chen Zhou could only look at An Zheng with anger, as if his eyes could kill.
An Zheng laughed, looked at Feng Xiao and asked: "Can we start now?"
He guessed that An Zheng was the strongest person in the dojo. It was said that those children all respected him as their leader, so he was definitely the most difficult to deal with. Chen Zhou had originally planned to fight with An Zheng, but in the end he ended up fighting with An Zheng instead. However, it was hard to back down now, so he could only grit his teeth and return the gesture with a cupped fist: "When I am the Phantom Institute's Feng Xiao, I am at the Second Rank."
In fact, he intended to show weakness by saying in his heart that he definitely wouldn't be able to win anyway, so he might as well have the other party show mercy. He had already sensed the arrival of the advancement not long ago, so he should be able to level up to the third grade soon. He was already seventeen years old this year, so his cultivation wasn't very good. However, he could be considered in the middle tier. He was half a head taller than An Zheng, but yet he spoke politely, making people feel that it was strange. Those who had bet on the academy's victory began to tremble in their hearts.
"An Zheng..."
An Zheng laughed and said: "I have yet to begin."
The moment these four words left his mouth, an uproar broke out.
"You … What did you say? "
Feng Xiao couldn't believe his ears. Since the other party was the leader of those kids in the martial arts school, how could he not have acquired something of value? Although that girl said she won in a clever way, she must have already gotten the item. If An Zheng did not advance, how did he make the others obey him? Therefore, Feng Xiaoxiao's first reaction was, An Zheng was playing with him, he was joking.
Feng Xiaosheng said: "This... Senior Brother, we are all cultivators, so we cannot lie in a fair and square match. "
An Zheng said: "I am not lying, I am indeed not an expert. If you don't believe me, you can ha
ve your teacher come over and try me. See if I'm lying. "
The spectators were all discussing, everyone did not believe that An Zheng had not earned anything from them. Zhen Zhuangbi didn't believe it either. He walked over in large strides, and then extended his hand to grab An Zheng's wrist. The meaning of that look was, watch how I unravel your lies. But when he touched An Zheng's veins, his face immediately changed: "You … He actually didn't make any products … Ha ha-ha ha, you really didn't buy anything! "
"He actually didn't buy anything?" "He really doesn't know death. I wonder if he's being brave or an idiot to actually challenge a cultivator of the second grade!"
"This time, my money has been saved. He was just courting his own death. He had yet to reach the rank, but he was still boasting about how a complete victory could be considered a win in three matches. So all of these are just to scare people, are you trying to scare them? "
"What kind of place is the academy? How can it be so easily scared off?" "Now we're doomed. Let's see how he will deal with this after he takes up a rock to smash his own foot!"
The voices from the crowd immediately grew louder, all of them mocking and ridiculing An Zheng. Those who thought that they made the wrong bet were suddenly enlivened. They all joined in the jeering, and for a moment the situation went out of control. Gao Sanduo also looked at Old Huo with a puzzled expression, with an inquiring look in his eyes. The Old Huo smiled apologetically to him. Gao Sanduo shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "My spirit stones are nothing."
Zhen Zhuangbi released An Zheng's hand, walked to Feng Xiao Shi, and said with a smile: "An opponent that hasn't reached the rank of student, if you still don't win, then you really will lose all your face in the academy. But now, I finally understand why he said that he couldn't kill anyone in the competition. So it was because he was afraid of death … "Hahahaha, it's all up to you now."
Feng Xiaoxiao also laughed, and nodded: "Don't worry Vice Principal, I won't hit him too hard, I promise I won't beat him to death."
Chen Zhou had a complicated expression on his face. He had never expected that his opponent would be so weak. He had planned a few stages for himself. The first stage was to surpass An Zheng who had crippled one of his arms and humiliate him. But it was only now that he realized he had long since left An Zheng behind. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions in his heart, and was disappointed yet happy at the same time.
Du Shoushou shouted at the crowd, but his voice was pale and weak. He ran up to stop An Zheng, but An Zheng had already taken a step forward, "Please instruct me."
Feng Xiao Shi pinched the joints of his fingers, and let out a "ka ka" sound: "An Zheng, I admire your courage, but in my opinion, this courage is too foolish."
An Zheng also did not say a word, and extended his hand out to invite his in.
Feng Xiaosheng said: "Then don't blame me, be careful and stay alive. If I hurt you by accident, you can't say I bully people."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward. Amongst the disciples of Phantom Institute, his strength could be considered to be in the upper middle ranks. His previous nervousness had now been completely swept away, and he no longer felt any pressure, causing him to be even more merciless. He wanted to deliberately humiliate An Zheng, so he took a step forward. This step took him more than three meters away as he stood right in front of An Zheng, and then, he sent a slap across An Zheng's face.
The reason he attacked was not to hurt An Zheng, but to humiliate him. If he had slapped his face, the Martial Arts Academy would not be able to stand up anymore.
An Zheng stood there and only moved when Feng Xiao's palm neared his face. But this movement was like a coiling dragon rising into the sky.
An Zheng had been cultivating in the Heaven Defying Seal for a much longer time than Du Shoushou and the others. Because An Zheng knew that his innate talent was poor, he had to make his body technique even stronger. When one's body arts reached the peak of mastery, one would be able to fight back against cultivators within the Ascension Realm. His hand suddenly grabbed Feng Xiaosheng's wrist, then he pulled Feng Xiaoru closer to his chest. At the same time, he pushed back with his feet, pulling Feng Xiaoxiao up in an instant.
"Front chest, middle!"
When An Zheng said these three words, he punched Feng Xiao s chest twelve times.
"Abdomen, middle!"
An Zheng pulled Feng XIao's body flat against the ground. Feng XIao was currently parallel to the ground, and did not react at all. An Zheng's knees lifted, and with a bang, he struck Feng Xiao's lower abdomen.
"Vertebral bone, middle!"
Before Feng Xiao could even land on the ground, An Zheng's fist had already hit the back of his spine at least twenty times. With a bang, Feng Xiaoru's body hit the ground, causing dust to fly into the air.
"You're too slow."
An Zheng bent over and used both hands to grab Feng Xiao's head, then turned around. His fist landed three times on Feng Xiao's eyebrow, and immediately hit the other party's face full of blood.
Then, An Zheng stood up, grabbed Feng Xiao's arm, twisted it, and dislocated it from his shoulder. He grabbed the other arm again, deftly and deftly, twisting and twisting again, and the other arm could no longer be raised. From An Zheng's attack to Feng Xiao's defeat, only thirty seconds had passed.
"Oh my god!"
Someone exclaimed, "He is not of high quality, but even if his body technique has not reached the highest level, it should be more or less."
"No wonder he was so confident. This is simply a total massacre!"
An Zheng straightened his body, and then suddenly rushed towards Chen Zhou. "The third match begins.
Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, then grinned viciously. "Good timing!"
Chapter 46 - Triple Bomb
An Zheng didn't have any time to pause, he immediately rushed towards Chen Zhou after bringing down Feng Xiao: "Heavenly Awakening Sect An Zheng, I challenge you!"
Chen Zhou was disappointed at first. He felt that the first phase of his plan had been set too low. He thought that An Zheng would be very strong, with the qualifications to be his opponent. But the moment Zhen Zhuangbi was sure that An Zheng had not made it to the top yet, the disappointment in his heart had reached its peak. To humiliate such a weak opponent was clearly far from what he had anticipated. The moment An Zheng rushed towards him, his excitement returned.
"Good job!"
Chen Zhou shouted and rushed towards An Zheng.
An Zheng was not sure of Chen Zhou's true strength, so he used his full strength the moment he attacked, and fully utilized his speed advantage. The reason he trained in the Heaven Defying Seal day and night was precisely to deal with today's situation. He could not let Du Shoushou face danger. Although Du Shoushou was already an official, he still lacked combat experience, and his talent and physique were not considered outstanding. If the people from the academy were to act ruthlessly, Du Shoushou would most likely not be able to handle it.
An Zheng's fists were so fast that the observing ordinary people could not even see where his fists were. Feng Xiao, who was at the peak of the second stage, was defeated by An Zheng with just one attack. This showed just how fast An Zheng was.
But when An Zheng's fist struck at Chen Zhou, Chen Zhou didn't care at all.
"You said that he was slow, but in my eyes, you are too slow."
Chen Zhou turned his head to the side to dodge An Zheng's fist, and then said with disdain: "I had thought you would be my match, but I never expected you to be so weak. So what if your body technique is successful? I left you behind. "
An Zheng's heart trembled... How could this Chen Zhou have made such great progress? Previously, when An Zheng crippled Chen Zhou, Chen Zhou's strength was far weaker than An Zheng's. But now, An Zheng's speed, was actually nothing in the eyes of Chen Zhou. How did Chen Zhou's cultivation level increase so much in such a short time?
An answer instantly appeared in An Zheng's
heart … Pills.
During this period of time, Chen Zhou must have consumed a large amount of pills, causing his strength to rapidly increase. Chen Zhou had obtained some of the Chen Clan's hidden strength, so he had the ability to do so. Furthermore, his innate talent was not bad. With the help of the pills, his cultivation realm kept rising.
"Are you ready to be humiliated by me?"
Chen Zhou looked at An Zheng and laughed sinisterly: "Just like that day when you crippled my arm."
An Zheng: "I already knew it was you."
Chen Zhou said, "So what?"
The two of them maintained a close distance, Chen Zhou's mouth seemed to be right next to An Zheng's ear as he softly said: "Right now, I have ten thousand ways to make you live a life worse than death, looks like you won't have any problems, those people definitely wouldn't have thought that your internal organs would be shattered by me. When they leave, you'll die spitting blood. I will accurately control my power so that you will not die so quickly. "
An Zheng drew back, and then swept his whip-kick towards Chen Zhou's neck: "Let's talk after we beat him up!"
Chen Zhou retreated once again, An Zheng's leg brushed past his neck. In a split-second, Chen Zhou extended his hand and grabbed An Zheng's ankle, then turned his body and swung An Zheng out. An Zheng's body forcibly twisted in midair, his hands and feet sliding several meters on the ground before stopping.
"Oh my god!"
Someone from the crowd exclaimed, "This Chen Zhou is so powerful, An Zheng's body technique is already reaching its peak, yet he doesn't have any advantage in speed at all. In my opinion, Chen Zhou's cultivation should at least be at the fifth grade or higher. "
"There has never been such a genius in the academy before, to reach this stage at such a young age. It was true that his body technique had reached its peak when he fought cultivators of the Ascension Realm, but that was only if his opponent's body technique was inferior to his. Look, Chen Zhou's speed is not any slower than An Zheng's, and it seems to be even faster. "
