Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
News of a duel between Qin Chuan and the young man from the Qi Clan quickly spread throughout the Li Clan.
The duel was set in the martial arts arena.
Presently, the martial arts arena was packed with people. More than half of the Li clansmen had come.
They never thought this seemingly ordinary new guest would propose a duel with the Qi family’s youth.
Wasn’t that shooting himself in the foot!?
…
Right now, everyone in the audience was having animated discussions.
“I didn’t like the new guest elder at first, but given his courage, I’ve become a fan,” said a girl.
“Me too! No matter the outcome, I’ll support him first. Hopefully, a miracle will happen.”
“Tch! A miracle? What a joke! It’ll be great if he doesn’t get beaten to death.” A young man with narrow eyes ridiculed them.
“Do you know who the youth from the Qi family is?”
“Who is it?”
“Qi Tianbao.”
“Tss, it’s actually him.” Everyone gasped.
Qi Tianbao was quite well-known.
Someone said, “I heard that his martial strength has reached the standard of first-rate martial artists. I wonder if it’s true.”
“He’s already a first-rate martial artist. Some time ago, he challenged me and he is already on par with me.”
The person who spoke was a genius of the Li family’s younger generation. He had reached the level of a first-rate warrior.
Everyone was shocked again.
“He’s only 25 years old this year! He’s already a first-rate martial artist at such a young age. He can enter the top 50 of the martial arts Cloud Rankings .”
“If that’s the case, then this duel isn’t worth watching.
“If they’re so far apart in strength, why are they competing?
“I wonder what our Patriarch and the rest are thinking. They don’t care about our feelings at all.”
“Ah… well, now that you mention it, I take back what I just said. I’m still an hater. I haven’t become a fan.”
“Me… Me too!”
…
Not long after, amidst the commotion, Qin Chuan and the rest arrived.
Presently, Qin Chuan had changed out of his earlier clothes and into a martial arts training suit.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man.
After changing, Qin Chuan’s image instantly changed. It was as if he had changed into a different person. He resembled an ancient hero.
When the spectators saw Qin Chuan, their eyes lit up.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Qin Chuan was extremely suited for ancient clothing. Of course, if he had long hair, he would look even better.
In the martial arts arena.
“Great Master Qin, I won’t say much. I wish you speedy success,” Li Jingchen said.
He thought back to what Qin Chuan had said earlier, “Even Land Immortals must bow when they see me.” At first, he was utterly shocked. But, what was even more shocking was that Li Jingchen couldn’t imagine Qin Chuan lying.
His intuition told him that Qin Chuan was not boasting but was telling the truth.
Even so, he still did not quite believe it.
After all, he knew what a Land Immortal was.
…
Both sides arrived at the center of the arena.
The referee was the Cao family’s Connate expert, Cao Weng.
Both the Li and Qi families did not have much objection to him being the referee.
Cao Weng said, “Before the duel begins, I’ll repeat the rules.
“Firstly, both parties are not allowed to carry any weapons or take any drug that affects their martial strength. Otherwise, it will be considered a defeat.
“Secondly, both parties are not allowed to leave the arena. Otherwise, it would be deemed a defeat.
“Thirdly, there are no other restrictions in this competition apart from the above two points. When the opponent loses the ability to fight or admits defeat verbally, the outcome will be determined.
“Besides, accidents happen during duels. If you are killed, the other party will not have to bear any responsibility.”
“Do the two of you have any questions?” Cao Weng looked at the two of them.
“No!” said Qi Tianbao.
“No!” Qin Chuan calmly replied.
“Alright, please retreat ten meters or so,” Cao Weng said.
Qin Chuan and Qi Tianbao each stepped back, and after they arrived at their designated positions, Cao Weng loudly announced, “I announce, the duel has officially begun.”
At once, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak.
Naturally, the majority of the spectators wanted to see how badly Qin Chuan would lose. They wondered if he would be killed within seconds.
In the martial arts arena.
After Cao Weng finished the announcement, Qi Tianbao didn’t say anything unnecessary.
He clenched his fists tightly. He placed them on both sides of his body before lunging a few steps forward, rushing towards Qin Chuan like a mad wind.
Although there was a distance of 20 meters between them, to a first-rate martial artist, it was only a matter of taking two steps.
Qin Chuan appeared very calm in the face of Qi Tianbao’s domineering attack. He didn’t make any movements, giving off the feeling that he was completely stunned.
When they saw this, most of the audience laughed.
They all thought that Qin Chuan had been scared silly.
From the looks of it, they would have a winner soon.
Who knows if he’ll get beaten to death.
This was what many people were thinking.
Presently, in the arena, Qi Tianbao appeared before Qin Chuan. The fists on his waist were ready to strike, containing a tremendous amount of power.
Qi Tianbao initially wanted to give Qin Chuan a direct punch. But, once he saw that Qin Chuan didn’t seem to have any intention to block it, he feared that there might be a trap.
Hence, with a swift flash, he appeared beside Qin Chuan and punched.
Qi Tianbao was strong. The wind from his fist was fierce, causing Qin Chuan’s clothes to flap loudly.
Everyone in the audience held their breaths, anticipating some kind of one-hit, one-kill scene.
Li Jingchen and the elders were frowning, their expressions grave.
In the next second.
Bang!
The sound of a violent physical collision resounded in the arena.
Most people thought this duel had ended, but the scene before their eyes greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations.
With a calm expression, Qin Chuan easily caught Qi Tianbao’s fist.
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
They all rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had seen wrong.
But that was the truth.
Just a moment ago, they were still discussing whether Qin Chuan would be killed in a single strike. But now, he was still standing there, completely unharmed. Most importantly, he had even blocked the attack head-on.
It was a slap in the face. Instantly, everyone felt their faces burning in pain.
In the arena.
Qi Tianbao was similarly shocked. He didn’t expect that Qin Chuan would be able to block his attack with such ease.
“You really concealed your strength.” Qi Tianbao withdrew his fist and spoke in a low voice.
Qin Chuan, on the other hand, said indifferently, “You call this concealing? Anyone should be able to do this if they have hands.”
“You’re getting ahead of yourself, huh? What a joke.” Qi Tianbao laughed disdainfully. “That punch wasn’t even forty percent of my strength.”
“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to use your full strength. If not, you will lose terribly.” Qin Chuan laughed.
“Hmph! Arrogant fellow. I’ll grant you your wish, but don’t beg for mercy.”
In an instant, Qi Tianbao’s mettle exploded. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and his aura expanded two to three times.
When everyone saw Qi Tianbao’s serious expression, they became excited again.
Although they were all from the Li family, most of them hoped that Qin Chuan would be defeated.
In the end, it was because the strength displayed by Qin Chuan wasn’t enough to convince them of anything.
In the arena, Qi Tianbao was distancing himself from Qin Chuan. He was observing his opponent while planning his strategy.
Qi Tianbao knew that Qin Chuan was hiding his true strength. Since he didn’t know Qin Chuan’s true strength, Qi Tianbao didn’t intend to use his full strength. Instead, he would test Qin Chuan step by step.
If 40% is not enough, I’ll use 60%.
After Qi Tianbao made his decision, he attacked Qin Chuan again.
