Chapter 20

Zi Chen clenched his fists. True Qi surged around his body, and he seemed to have transformed into a fierce tiger in an instant.

His two fists intertwined. Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain had already attacked, but it was immediately followed by the second move, Fierce Tiger Roar.

After the second attack, Zi Chen had no intention of attacking a third time.

That was because two moves were enough.

The iron fist was like an iron hammer, bringing with it a strong wind as it flew towards Zi Chen's face. However, after the roar of the tiger, Zi Chen's fist also arrived in front of the iron fist.

Peng!

The two fists collided, producing a muffled sound.

Due to his powerful physique, Zi Chen's body only swayed slightly before he remained motionless. On the other hand, Ke Xue felt a surge of energy gushing out from Zi Chen's fist, causing his body to involuntarily retreat.

Bang, bang, bang.

In the blink of an eye, he retreated over ten steps. His Qi and blood were constantly churning. When he retreated to the final step, he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

"You!"

Zi Chen's power caused Ke Xue's expression to change. Aside from his comprehension of Battle Skills, Zi Chen seemed to have another kind of power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him in one blow.

Swish.

A white shadow flashed in front of Ke Xue's eyes. Ke Xue saw Zi Chen appear in front of him, followed by a pair of extremely fast fists, like a storm of pear blossoms.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

Ke Xue brandished his iron fists to block. But his speed couldn't compare to Zi Chen's. Moreover, each of Zi Chen's fists was very heavy.

Finally, a fist broke through the wind from his iron fists and landed on Ke Xue's face. After a loud bang, one of Ke Xue's eyes instantly turned black.

After the first punch, there was a second one. Wherever the wind from the fist passed, Ke Xue was forced to retreat.

After several punches, his face was already swollen. Zi Chen's punches were very heavy. When they landed on Ke Xue's face, they weren't that heavy. But it wasn't a problem for his face to be swollen.

"Look, there's Zi Chen."

Cheers rang out from the crowd. Those who were watching the other matches inadvertently saw Zi Chen's match and exclaimed in surprise.

Ke Xue's achievements had been achieved with a pair of iron fists. He was an absolute powerhouse. However, he had been defeated by Zi Chen in one move. Then, he had been beaten by Zi Chen until he couldn't even fight back.

"This kid is not simple."

"He actually comprehended two True Meanings."

Being able to defeat Ke Xue, there was no doubt about Zi Chen's strength. Outside the arena, there were gasps of surprise, and on the high platform, the elders were also very surprised.

"The test this time was very interesting," said a red-robed elder.

"That's right, there are ten who have comprehended True Intent, and four of them have even comprehended the True Intent of second-rate battle skills. Not bad," another elder said.

"This time's test is much more talented than the previous ones."

Several elders looked at Zi Chen in surprise. Then, they looked in another direction, where Wu Sheng was fighting.

Along the way, several elders had their eyes fixed on Wu Sheng. They seemed to be very interested in this mysterious disciple.

"That's not necessarily true."

The unperturbed Great Elder suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There was once a disciple selection where there were even more geniuses than this. However, they were all suppressed by one person, making them seem dull and lackluster."

The other elders turned their heads and looked at the great elder.

Suddenly, an elder's eyes lit up and said, "Great elder, you're talking about …?"

"That's right, it's Chen Feng's batch."

The great elder's eyes were filled with admiration. "In that batch, Chen Feng had comprehended a complete set of second-rate battle skills. He dominated the younger generation of disciples in a tyrannical manner. Because of that, he was valued by the sect leader and was accepted as a core disciple."

"A complete set of second-rate battle skills?"

Some elders had seen that battle with their own eyes, while some had only heard about it. But today, after hearing the great elder's words, the faces of those who had not seen it with their own eyes changed slightly. Such talent was much higher than theirs.

Chen Feng was the number one core disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Apart from that, he was also the most talented person in the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. In the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, only the most talented person could inherit the position of the next sect leader.

After a fierce battle, the outcome of the battle had been decided.

Wang Xiong, Wu Sheng, Miao Kong, Lin Xue, and Zi Chen won. And Zi Chen also kept his promise and beat Ke Xue's head into two, turning it into a pig head. Ke Xue's mother wouldn't be able to recognize him.

"Just you wait!"

Before leaving, Ke Xue stared at his pig head and said fiercely. But because his face was big and his mouth was swollen, he couldn't speak clearly, making his words sound funny.

Zi Chen didn't use too much strength. Ke Xue's injuries were only superficial, and didn't hurt his brain or bones. After a few days of rest, he would be fine. At the same time, it wouldn't affect the next battle.

The next battle was for the last five. Ke Xue, with a pig head, repeatedly waved his iron fists and won against two people, turning the other two into pig heads. Thus, he was ranked sixth.

After winning, he even waved his iron fists and showed off to Zi Chen. But after seeing Zi Chen's faint smile, his face fell.

After the last five were decided, it was time for the top five. Compared to the latter, the former was just an appetizer. The real exciting part was about to come.

The top five battles needed to draw lots.

Two on two battles, and one person would get a bye.

"Do your best."

In front of the lottery box, Lin Xue clenched her small fists at Zi Chen, her big eyes filled with encouragement.

"You do your best too."

Zi Chen nodded.

The result of the lottery quickly came out, but this result was also very dramatic.

Miao Kong against Wu Sheng, Lin Xue against Wang Meng, and Zi Chen got a bye.

This was heaven-defying luck. One person who got a bye was equivalent to already advancing. In other words, they were already firmly in the top three.

When this result came out, the crowd hissed, and there were also sounds of disappointment.

"Xue 'er is only at the fifth level of zhen qi. Although her understanding of battle skills is good, she is definitely not Wang Meng's opponent. But to be able to enter the top five is already very good." Su Mengyao whispered in the distance.

"It's already good to be able to enter the top five. But that kid called Zi Chen is really lucky. He actually got a bye." Chen Feng also said indifferently.

Looking at the number two in her hand, Lin Xue's young face had a bitter smile. She was no match for Wang Meng, who was at the sixth level of zhen qi.

"The battle begins."

On the high platform, an elder said indifferently.

Because it was the last few battles, the battles were carried out one by one. Miao Kong, who had drawn the number one, fought Wu Sheng first.

At the beginning of the battle, Miao Kong still followed the old path of his light footwork. After dodging Wu Sheng's attack by a hair's breadth, he took advantage of the opponent's exposed opening to attack.

After the battle, Miao Kong actually obtained some good results.

Cheers came from the crowd. Obviously, they were cheering for the unprepossessing Miao Kong.

"This little guy is still hiding his strength. Does he think that he can win just because he is at the fifth level of zhen qi?" On the high platform, an elder chuckled.

"Haha, young people are always a bit arrogant." Another elder also said.

"Star Burst Fist is only one step away from comprehending the true meaning. Wu Sheng's talent is very high, almost catching up to Chen Feng." Another elder sighed.

The first elder was still resting with his eyes closed. Hearing the other elders' conversation, the second elder had a happy expression on his face.

After the battle, Miao Kong didn't fall into a disadvantage at all. Instead, he had the upper hand.

Wu Sheng completely showed his power. The aura around his body suddenly skyrocketed. In an instant, his strength reached the sixth level of zhen qi. Then, his Star Burst Fist was displayed to the extreme, striking a powerful blow.

"Peng."

After a muffled sound, Miao Kong flew back dozens of meters before stabilizing his body.

Facing Wu Sheng, who was at the sixth level of zhen qi, Miao Kong was defeated.

Wu Sheng's strength made everyone cry out in surprise. At this moment, many people felt that they had misjudged him. Before, they thought that Wang Meng was the strongest, but now that Wu Sheng's strength was completely revealed, he became Wang Meng's biggest opponent.

Holding the number two in his hand, Wang Meng's eyes were dignified. Of course, it wasn't because he was facing Lin Xue, but because he was thinking about his chances of winning against Wu Sheng.

But after calculating, it seemed that he only had a 05% chance. Wang Meng's expression was gloomy to the extreme.

In the outside world, Wang Xiong's expression was the same.

He didn't expect that a mysterious Wu Sheng would appear out of nowhere. His 655% chance became 05%. He was angry.

"This damn thing, where the hell did he come from?" Wang Xiong cursed angrily.

Zi Chen was with Lin Xue, whispering to each other. Around them, there were murderous and jealous gazes.

"What's wrong? You have no hope of winning?" Zi Chen laughed softly.

Lin Xue cutely stuck out her tongue and said, "Not much hope."

Zi Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Do your best."

Lin Xue nodded, "Do your best."

The first round of battle ended. Miao Kong returned disappointed, but he was not depressed.

"Not bad."

Zi Chen and Lin Xue both nodded.

Miao Kong just smiled.

"The first round is over. Wu Sheng wins. The second round begins. Lin Xue versus Wang Meng." The voice of the elder sounded from the high platform.

Wang Meng laughed sinisterly and walked towards the platform.

Lin Xue was about to go forward, but she was stopped by Zi Chen. Zi Chen shouted, "Wait."

Zi Chen's voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Zi Chen, what's the matter?"

Zi Chen had finally displayed his strength after two consecutive battles. Even though he was displeased that his words had been interrupted, the elder didn't lose his temper. Instead, he maintained a pleasant expression.

"What's this guy doing?"

The others were also very confused. Only Su Mengyao's beautiful face had a faint smile. She seemed to have guessed it.

Lin Xue's eyes were full of smiles.

"Elder, I want to ask if I can exchange my lot with Lin Xue's. I want to fight this round." Zi Chen said respectfully.

"This!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Is he a fool? He will definitely lose if he fights with Wang Meng. If he doesn't fight, he will definitely enter the top three."

"Hmph, he actually thought of using this method to pick up girls. How shameless."

"Wow, so handsome."

The disciples had different opinions. Some of the female disciples' eyes were shining.
