Chapter 236 The Competition for the Top Martial Arts Champion in Three Provinces
"Chen Lie from Dongchuan? I've wanted to fight you for a long time."
I initially thought your martial arts were mediocre, but after seeing your performance just now, I realized you're much stronger than I imagined.
Gu Yang looked Chen Lie up and down and said.
Chen Lie said expressionlessly, "Your strength is still a bit behind mine. Why don't you admit defeat now, conserve your strength, and see if you have the luck to make it into the top three?"
Gu Yang then said, "You're really arrogant. Even if you've completed the Tendon Refining stage and entered the Bone Refining stage, so what?"
I do have experiences of winning against stronger opponents.
When the entire Xichuan Genius Team competed in martial arts, he defeated Liu Yiming despite being weaker, with a difference of more than 200 calories in his health points.
He has now completed the tendon-refining stage and entered the bone-refining stage.
With 3400 calories of Qi and blood, 4.5 times the strength, and a power exceeding 15,000 jin, he didn't believe that anyone other than Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan could crush him in terms of strength.
"Enough talk, let's see what we've got!"
After saying that, Chen Lie said no more.
At that moment, the announcement "The martial arts competition begins" rang out.
Gu Yang's qi and blood reached their peak, and a vast power emanated from him and spread outwards.
"Take this!"
Gu Yang moved, leaving an afterimage in an instant, as if he had teleported and appeared within arm's reach of Chen Lie.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yang unleashed more than a dozen punches containing immense force at Chen Lie.
Chen Lie raised his hand and received each of the punches. The impact of the collision of the enormous forces was like a hurricane, causing the audience closest to the fighting stage to sway and curl up.
"Dairo's Bone-Splitting Hand!"
Gu Yang made a semi-circle with his hands in the air, and hundreds of hand seals appeared. He then struck out with both palms towards Chen Lie.
Chen Lie stepped forward and accepted all of Gu Yang's martial arts techniques.
In less than a minute, the two had exchanged over a hundred moves.
The palm strike, far exceeding ten thousand jun (a unit of weight), slammed onto the battle arena floor like a high-explosive bomb, creating deep craters in the specially made battle arena.
During the battle, Gu Yang frowned, because he found that Chen Lie was able to deal with his fierce attacks with ease, and so far, he had not even used a single martial arts move.
There is only one possibility for this situation: Chen Lie's strength far surpasses his own.
Upon thinking of this, Gu Yang's heart sank instantly.
Although Wu Kui Shou enjoys unparalleled glory in his daily life, he bears the enormous pressure of the entire province. If he cannot win the top three, he will have no way to explain himself to the genius team of Xichuan Province.
Gradually, Gu Yang began to feel physically exhausted from the intense and continuous battles.
Although it was not the right time, he still mobilized his mental energy and prepared to launch a mental attack.
He was an advanced Divine Sense Master, who had been crafted into a powerful and fierce-attacking Divine Sense, the Sharp Metal Axe.
His spiritual power transformed into an axe blade and charged towards Chen Lie.
Suddenly, Gu Yang was startled. The moment his mental energy axe blade touched Chen Lie, it seemed to sink into the sea like a mud ox, disappearing without a trace.
Chen Lie also felt Gu Yang's mental attack, and he let out a "heh".
This mental attack was like an ant trying to shake a mountain to him.
With a thought, the First Star God, Jing Mu Kuang, manifested.
"boom"
A sudden roar echoed through Gu Yang's sea of consciousness. Amidst the shock and fear, he abruptly glimpsed an ancient ferocious beast standing on a star. The beast had a tiger's face and a deer's body, standing in the starry sky, roaring towards the heavens.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yang felt an indescribable spiritual force surge towards him, his sea of consciousness shattered instantly, and his spiritual power became weak and listless.
Chen Lie struck out with his palm, hitting Gu Yang in the chest.
With a "bang," Gu Yang collapsed onto the battle stage.
"What a powerful consciousness! Such a consciousness must be among the top ten in the consciousness ranking of advanced Divine Sense Masters on Blue Star."
Gu Yang struggled to his feet and said frankly, "I admit defeat!"
After saying that, Gu Yang jumped off the battle platform.
There's really nothing to compete with a genius of this caliber in terms of spiritual sense. Gu Yang didn't feel ashamed to lose to Chen Lie.
Based on the spiritual power Chen Lie just displayed, he was certain that the champion of the three provinces' martial arts competition would likely go to Dongchuan Province.
"Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province defeated Gu Yang from Xichuan Province and advanced to the final three."
"Next match: Shen Miaowei from Yunnan Province versus Liu Yiming from Sichuan Province. Please come up to the stage for a martial arts competition."
After the announcement came on, the audience below the stage looked on in surprise.
"Did Gu Yang, the martial arts champion of Xichuan Province, really lose like that?"
"He doesn't seem to be seriously injured. He gave up after being hit by a palm strike?"
"That's the wise thing to do. You know, in a three-way battle, if you don't conserve your strength, your next opponent might fall."
"I think Shen Miaowei, who is second in Yunchuan Province, is more powerful than this martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province, right?"
Now that Gu Yang has lost to Chen Lie, doesn't that mean he has no hope of finishing in the top three of the martial arts competition?
Below the arena, the steward leading the Xichuan Province delegation couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that it would be difficult for Xichuan Province to win a top-three finish in the martial arts competition this time.
"Sister Yun, can you tell Chen Lie's strength now?"
Ruan Liusu asked Ruan Liuyun, who was standing next to her.
Ruan Liuyun also shook his head and said, "I couldn't tell. He seemed to be handling the fight with that martial arts champion from Xichuan Province with ease. He didn't look like he was going all out at all."
Su Su, Grandpa really had a keen eye this time.
"It's amazing that they could find someone like this in Sichuan to arrange a marriage for you."
Ruan Liusu snorted: "What do you mean by having unique taste? I didn't agree to this marriage."
Ruan Liuyun rolled her eyes at her cousin, thinking to herself, "Stubborn to the end!"
In contrast to the disappointment of Xichuan Province, Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the Dongchuan Province's genius team, became excited.
"Our Dongchuan Province martial arts champion defeated the Xichuan Province martial arts champion; Liu Yiming of Xichuan Province was merely a defeated opponent."
Dongchuan Province has already secured a place in the top three.
Some members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group couldn't help but cheer.
On the battle stage, Shen Miaowei and Liu Yiming stepped onto the stage.
After the announcement that "the martial arts competition has begun" was broadcast, Liu Yiming instantly unleashed the S-rank martial art, Senluo Fist.
The powerful punch struck Shen Miaowei, and a deafening boom echoed throughout the arena.
After Liu Yiming finished performing a set of martial arts, his fists were numb and he could hardly move them, but Shen Miaowei was able to deal with it easily.
-
Liu Yiming instantly realized the gap between himself and Shen Miaowei. Before Shen Miaowei could retaliate, he said "I admit defeat" and stepped off the stage.
"Shen Miaowei from Yunchuan Province defeated Liu Yiming from Xichuan Province and advanced to the final three."
Following that, Gu Yang and Liu Yiming had a revival match. Gu Yang succeeded in the revival match and once again got the chance to compete for the top three.
Host Zhang Qingqing stepped onto the stage, holding a microphone and addressing the cameras in all directions: "Hello everyone, I am your host Zhang Qingqing. This year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament has reached its final stage."
Please see the battle information on the screen.
Two sets of battle information appeared on the screen while the player was asleep.
Match 1: Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan Province vs. Gu Yang from Xichuan Province; Match 2: Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province vs. Shen Miaowei from Yunchuan Province. "Please welcome Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan Province and Gu Yang from Xichuan Province to the stage for their martial arts duel."
After the host finished making the announcement, he stepped down from the battle stage.
At the same time, Ji Lingxuan and Gu Yang both stepped onto the battle stage.
"Student Ji, everyone says you are the number one martial artist among the younger generation in Sanchuan, and I know I am no match for you."
"Let me see just how big the gap is between you and me when you unleash your full power," Gu Yang said, looking at Ji Lingxuan.
Ji Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
"That's good!"
Just then, the announcement "The martial arts competition begins" rang out.
Gu Yang knew that the gap between him and Ji Lingxuan was definitely not small, so the moment he heard "the martial arts competition begins," he mobilized his mental power to attack and simultaneously unleashed an S-level martial art that he had cultivated to a superb level.
"Dairo's Bone-Splitting Hand!"
Gu Yang unleashed a powerful attack on Ji Lingxuan.
He instantly felt his spiritual axe blade being blocked by Ji Lingxuan's powerful blood and qi.
Faced with Gu Yang's fierce attack, Ji Lingxuan simply raised her hand, and her qi and blood compressed the air, instantly blocking Gu Yang's full-force attack.
With a loud "boom".
Due to the impact of the force, one-third of the battle platform collapsed from bottom to top.
The powerful recoil from the collision of forces struck Gu Yang.
Seeing this, Ji Lingxuan raised her small hand and instantly withdrew her force, thus allowing Gu Yang to dodge the heavy blow.
At this moment, the battle platform he was standing on had collapsed.
"I lost!"
Faced with Ji Lingxuan's overwhelming power with a wave of her hand, Gu Yang was completely convinced of his defeat.
"The martial arts competition has ended. Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan Province defeated Gu Yang from Xichuan Province and advanced to the top three."
"Next match: Shen Miaowei from Yunchuan Province versus Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province. Please come up to the stage for your duel."
Gu Yang stepped off the battle platform, looked at Ji Lingxuan beside him, and said, "Thank you for going easy on me, Ji."
Ji Lingxuan hummed in agreement and said, "No need to thank me. In martial arts competitions, it is not allowed to use excessive force."
"Although there is this rule, who can stop in time during a martial arts competition? Even if someone deliberately uses excessive force, the Martial Arts Association may not be able to investigate."
Ji Lingxuan nodded and turned to leave.
Just then, Gu Yang suddenly called out to Ji Lingxuan.
"Student Ji!"
"Hmm?" Ji Lingxuan turned her head, somewhat puzzled.
"Considering that you spared me just now, I'll give you a piece of advice."
Your martial arts skills are truly unmatched among the younger generation in the three provinces of Sichuan.
"Wait a moment, you'll face Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province in the martial arts competition. Remember, don't give him any chance. You must use your full strength and, before he can react, knock him off the fighting platform to end the battle."
"Why?" Ji Lingxuan asked.
"Because if you give him even the slightest chance, you will undoubtedly lose."
Ji Lingxuan frowned slightly, said no more to Gu Yang, and returned to the war room.
She didn't believe Gu Yang's words.
In the audience, Ruan Liusu was astonished to see Ji Lingxuan defeat the martial arts champion of Xichuan Province with a mere flick of her wrist: "This Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan Province, isn't her martial arts a bit too strong?"
Ruan Liuyun nodded and said, "Judging from the force of her palm just now, her strength has exceeded 20,000 jun, so she must be a Qi and Blood Peak cultivator in the Refining stage."
"Then she's definitely going to be the first place winner in this martial arts competition among the three provinces in Sichuan!" Ruan Liusu said.
On the battle stage, Shen Miaowei walked to the opposite side of Chen Lie.
"Mr. Chen Lie, I've long wanted to spar with you in martial arts, and today my wish has finally come true."
Chen Lie grunted and said, "Use your full strength, don't hold back."
"Since my opponent is you, I certainly wouldn't dare to hold back," Shen Miaowei said with a slight smile.
At that moment, the announcement that "the martial arts competition has begun" came over the loudspeaker.
Shen Miaowei immediately stopped smiling, and her expression became serious.
A palm strike containing over 17000 jun of force was swung towards Chen Lie.
"boom!"
Chen Lie dared not take this palm strike, which was more powerful than his own, lightly deflecting and parrying it.
Seeing this, Shen Miaowei attacked again, unleashing more than a dozen palm strikes in an instant.
On the battle stage, explosions continued. Chen Lie activated the "Dragon Nirvana Technique," and his blood and qi circulated rapidly as he engaged Shen Miaowei in battle.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves.
Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, Shen Miaowei let out a shout and unleashed an S-level martial art.
"Gengjin Triple Palm!"
In an instant, Shen Miaowei unleashed three palm strikes. The combined power of the three strikes brought the force of a single palm strike to nearly 20,000 jin (approximately 10,000 kg).
Upon seeing this, Chen Lie fully unleashed the "Dragon Rebirth Technique," and a blood-red dragon phantom, several meters long, coiled around him.
With a loud "boom," it collided with Ji Lingxuan's palm shadow.
Shen Miaowei was knocked back by the force of the blow, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She could clearly sense that Chen Lie was weaker than her, yet she couldn't win even when she exerted all her strength.
Chen Lie relentlessly pursued Shen Miaowei, constantly exploiting any openings in her attack.
In her hasty response, Shen Miaowei retreated continuously, quickly reaching the edge of the battle platform.
At this moment, Chen Lie delivered another heavy blow.
"boom"
After a loud bang, a dragon shadow appeared and disappeared, carrying immense power, directly knocking Shen Miaowei off the battle stage.
After regaining her balance, Shen Miaowei said frankly, "I lost!"
"The martial arts competition has ended. Shen Miaowei from Yunchuan Province faced off against Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province. Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province won and advanced to the finals."
The announcement came on at just the right moment, and the audience below immediately erupted in excitement.
"The finalist has been chosen as Chen Lie, the champion of martial arts in Dongchuan Province."
"This year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament is truly spectacular! In previous years, it was always two talented members from Yunnan Province vying for the provincial championship, but I never expected that Dongchuan Province's martial arts would stand out so much this year!"
Watching this scene from the waiting room, Ji Lingxuan could tell that Chen Lie had given his all in this battle, and compared to herself, there was still a considerable gap.
She had completely ignored Gu Yang's warning.
Soon, Ji Lingxuan and Shen Miaowei went up to the stage for a battle. The losing side, Shen Miaowei, then had a three-way revival match with Gu Yang, symbolically completing the ceremony of the three-way competition.
Host Zhang Qingqing stepped onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, the top three finishers in this year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament have been determined: Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan Province, Chen Lie from Dongchuan Province, and Shen Miaowei from Yunchuan Province."
Next, we will hold the finals of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, a competition to determine the champions of the three provinces.
