Chapter 19: Showing Off His Brilliance, Defeating Another Powerful Enemy
The surrounding contestants retreated, watching the spectacle from afar, all thinking that Lin Chen would back down like the others.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Chen not only did not back down, but instead looked at Zhao Xuan with icy eyes:
"If you want what's mine, come and take it if you can. If you can't, leave your points behind."
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
No one expected that Lin Chen would dare to confront Zhao Xuan head-on!
Zhao Xuan was ranked first in the group stage, and his strength far surpassed that of his peers. Even Chu Tiankuo had to give him some leeway. Lin Chen was just a bottom-tier high school student who had won all six matches. How could he dare to challenge Zhao Xuan?
Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily: "Fine! Very well! It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like that! Today I'll show you what a difference in strength really means!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xuan unleashed the full power of the "Mad Lion Overlord Body Force," his bronze-colored blood energy soaring into the sky. The lion-shaped phantom above his head became increasingly clear, and his crimson aura surged, sweeping towards Lin Chen with an overbearing pressure.
"Mountain-Splitting Fist!"
Zhao Xuan roared, took a step forward, and the ground trembled slightly as he threw a punch at Lin Chen. The punch was incredibly powerful, and the air itself exploded with a loud bang. Even before the punch arrived, the powerful wind pressure made Lin Chen's martial arts uniform flutter loudly.
Just as his fist was about to strike Lin Chen, the stone slab beneath Zhao Xuan's feet suddenly shattered, causing him to stagger and lose 30% of his punch's force.
Lin Chen seized the opportunity and used the "Chasing Star Step" to move three feet to the left like a ghost, easily avoiding the punch.
"Bang!"
Zhao Xuan slammed his fist into the ground, creating a crater half a foot deep, sending shards of rock flying.
"All you do is hide? Coward!" Zhao Xuan roared, his attacks becoming even more ferocious, each Mountain-Splitting Fist striking Lin Chen like a storm.
Each time his fist landed, it left a deep crater in the ground, and the entire valley trembled slightly. But his luck was extremely bad: either he slipped or his fist was blocked by tree branches, so he could only unleash 70% of his full power.
Lin Chen continued to use the Star Chasing Step to maneuver, his figure weaving through the dense shadows of punches like a firefly in the wind, never directly confronting Zhao Xuan.
He was observing, observing the flaws in Zhao Xuan's moves, observing the weaknesses in his external martial arts.
Zhao Xuan's moves were too fierce, each punch was delivered with all his might, his energy was consumed very quickly, and there were obvious pauses between the moves.
After dozens of rounds, Zhao Xuan's breathing became increasingly rapid, his energy and blood were greatly depleted, and his moves gradually became scattered.
"Now!"
Seizing an opening, Lin Chen flashed and suddenly appeared beside Zhao Xuan.
The Myriad Forms of Fist: A Thousand Pounds of Starfall!
Countless stellar powers coalesced at the fist's edge, forming a massive silver fist shadow that, with immense force, slammed towards Zhao Xuan's ribs—the weakest point covered by his external martial arts.
Zhao Xuan's expression changed drastically. He quickly activated the Mad Lion Body Technique for defense, while simultaneously blocking with his left arm under his ribs.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, a silver fist slammed heavily into Zhao Xuan's left arm.
Zhao Xuan felt an irresistible force surge into his body, and a sharp pain shot through his left arm, as if the bones were about to break. He screamed and staggered back three steps, his left arm hanging limply at his sides.
"You actually hurt me!" Zhao Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, like a wounded wild beast. "I'm going to kill you!"
He roared and, ignoring his injuries, lunged at Lin Chen again, unleashing his strongest punch with all his might.
"The raging lion roars!"
The lion-shaped phantom above let out a deafening roar, its punches becoming even more ferocious than before.
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and he no longer held back.
He activated the Star Martial Body Forging Technique to its limit, causing the Star Martial Core in his dantian to vibrate violently, and a surge of powerful star energy to flow into his right arm.
The Myriad Fists: Starburst!
Silver starlight exploded from the fist, forming a dazzling ball of light that slammed into Zhao Xuan's fist.
"boom!"
The two forces collided, creating a massive explosion. The shockwave swept across the entire area, snapping the surrounding trees in half.
As the smoke dissipated, Zhao Xuan knelt on one knee, his body covered in wounds, blood constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth, and the bronze aura around his body had completely dissipated.
He looked up at Lin Chen in disbelief, his eyes filled with resentment and fear.
Lin Chen slowly walked up to Zhao Xuan, reached out and took off the storage bag from his body, which was filled with spiritual materials and ferocious beast cores.
"I told you, if you want what's mine, you have to earn it. Now, what's yours is mine."
Lin Chen's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable domineering air.
Zhao Xuan lay on the ground, glaring at Lin Chen with venomous eyes, but dared not utter another word. He knew he was no match for Lin Chen, and continuing to be stubborn would only bring him further humiliation.
Lin Chen put away the storage bag, ignored Zhao Xuan, and turned to walk towards the depths of the valley.
The surrounding contestants looked at Lin Chen's back with eyes full of awe.
From this moment on, no one dared to treat Lin Chen as an ordinary dark horse teenager.
He has already proven with his strength that he is qualified to compete for the championship in this competition!
