C15 One Punch

The duel between the two Awakened Practitioners was quite a grand event indeed.

Not only did the ordinary soldiers of Weiyang camp run over to see the commotion, but even the other Awakened Practitioners had long been waiting outside the arena to witness the competition.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure waltz into the scene with utmost confidence. Her alluring figure bewitched the gazes of all the males present.

Showing up in a dazzling scarlet dress, Hong Moli attracted the attention of countless men and caused them to succumb to their fantasies of her.

Next to Hong Moli stood a glum-looking man wearing a pair of glasses — Ning Feng.

With the bandages on his hands now removed, it appeared that his injuries had fully recovered. This was expected since an Awakened Practitioner's physique allowed for a much faster recovery rate than ordinary people.

"Truly a newborn calf undaunted by the presence of a tiger. To think that Little Brother Chu Lin actually dares to compete with that big brute, Tie Niu."

Hong Moli covered her lips and chuckled. Looking at Chu Lin in the arena, a strange looked flash across her eyes — unknown as to what she was thinking.

"Humph! He's just a praying mantis trying to block a chariot. Even the commander has trouble dealing with Tie Niu in a battle of strength, not to mention that brat."

Ning Feng's expression turned ugly as he said coldly.

"My strength may not compare to Tie Niu, but Chu Lin might certainly be able to do just that."

At this moment, a low voice sounded from behind the two of them.

Shocked by what that voice said, Hong Moli and Ning Feng turned around and saw Han Dong walking towards them.

"The commander is surely overestimating Chu Lin. He definitely has the brute force, but compared to Tie Niu, he is nothing."

Ning Feng's tone remained as cold as usual.

Ning Feng did not agree with Han Dong's words at all.

"Why is Commander so optimistic about Chu Lin's strength? Since Tie Niu has the strength of a Big Yellow Ape, how could anyone in this camp, much less Chu Lin, compare to him?"

Hong Moli chuckled.

"One hundred Beast Cores that Chu Lin wins."

Han Dong said expressionlessly.

"Since the commander is so intrigued by this, I will bet on Tie Niu winning."

Ning Feng sneered.

"I don't have that many Beast Cores, so I won't be participating."

Hong Moli narrowed her seductive eyes and said with a smile.

The duel would soon commence.

Tie Niu stared at Chu Lin, who was wearing the Bionic Arm on his hand.

He truly believed that if he used even a little bit of his strength that he would be able to crush that toy into pieces. After all, it looked no different from the things you would usually find in a toy store.

"Chu Lin, since we'll only be competing strength, I'll let you have the first move."

Tie Niu said in a low and muffled voice. After switching into a horse stance, he patted his chest and signaled Chu Lin to take action.

Chu Lin was not interested in fair competition. Since Tie Niu gave him the first move, then he would definitely not hold himself back.

"Alright!"

When facing an opponent like Tie Niu, holding his strength back would be certainly be an act that he would end up regretting. Thus, he was going to give everything he had in his first strike.

As the Bionic Arm extracted Chu Lin's Gene Energy, its entire frame trembled slightly.

While charging all his energy into his fist, he roared like a tiger and threw a punch at Tie Niu.

"Oh? That punch is quite interesting."

Hong Moli's eyelashes fluttered in surprise.

"It's probably some sort of bluff. I'm afraid Tie Niu won't even..."

Ning Feng sneered.

*Boom!*

Before he could finish his sentence, however, Chu Lin's fist struck directly on Tie Niu's chest — producing a loud muffled sound that reverberated like a large bell.

At that moment, Tie Niu screamed in pain and flew out of the arena like a shot put.

Flying out of the arena, he landed on some sort of instrument at the side like a meteor crash, causing the area around him to be surrounded by dust and other broken fragments.

Silence...

Upon witnessing this absurd scene, everyone gaped their mouths wide open as their faces turned bleach pale in shock.

No one could believe what they were seeing.

Tie Niu, the Awakened Practitioner known for his strength, was actually sent flying away with a single punch from Chu Lin!

"This... This should not be possible…"

Ning Feng — in a state of extreme shock — clenched his fists rightly and stared menacingly at Chu Lin.

Having completed three of his gene chains, Tie Niu's strength was certainly not lower than Chu Lin's. Even then, he was still unable to withstand a single punch from him.

Hong Moli covered her mouth softly as a suprised expression appeared on her face.

Suddenly, the entire crowd fell into uproar.

No one would have expected that Chu Lin, as the underdog, would be able to settle this duel with a mere punch.

Even with Tie Niu's strength, he was still overwhelmed by Chu Lin's attack.

"This is preposterous!"

"To think that Lord Chu Lin is actually strong enough to defeat Lord Tie Niu with one punch!"

"Could it be that Lord Chu Lin is stronger than Lord Tie Niu?"

"..."

The audience present began to discuss amongst themselves as no one had expected such an absurd outcome.

Everyone originally thought that this would be a brilliant match, but no one expected it to end so soon.

"One hundred Beast Cores, remember to give them to me later."

Han Dong said lightly before he turned around and left.

As the commander of Weiyang, he naturally had many tasks to take care of in the camp. It was already difficult for him to find the time to come and watch the duel between Chu Lin and Tie Niu.

The only reason why Han Dong came here was to find out what kind of skill Chu Lin's completed gene chain had given him.

However, that was ultimately his private matter. If Chu Lin did not want to say anything, then Han Dong would not try to pry deeper.

"Chu Lin!"

Wearing an ugly expression, Ning Feng snorted angrily before turning around to leave.

"Big Brother Tie Niu, are you alright?"

Chu Lin immediately ran towards Tie Niu and pulled him up from the ground.

"Damn brat, why didn't you tell me that you were this strong? I couldn't even react to you attack!"

Tie Niu said with a joking smile.

Since his ancestral gene gave him superhuman strength and a solid defense, Tie Niu did not suffer any injuries. However, the impact from Chu Lin's punch had caught him completely off his guard.

"That punch was just a fluke. It's all thanks to this Bionic Arm that Commander gave me."

Chu Lin smiled and cunningly pushed the blame onto Han Dong.

While the Bionic Arm did increase his strength, but in reality, his attack was nevertheless a result of his first complete gene chain.

"I admit defeat. I'll give you the hundred Beast Cores later."

Tie Niu spoke straightforwardly.

"Much thanks, Big Brother Tie Niu."

Chu Lin responded gratefully.

At this moment, Yu Zhen also arrived in a wheelchair.

"Chu Lin, your strength has improved once again."

Yu Zhen looked at Chu Lin in surprise as if he looked at his child who had just grown up.

"I guess so... Uncle Yu, How much longer will it take for the equipment that the commander ordered for you to arrive?"

Chu Lin smiled and asked.

"The supplies from Central Royal City will arrive this afternoon. My equipment should be in the same batch."

Yu Zhen nodded and said.

Not long after lunch, the supplies from Central Royal City had indeed arrived.

At that time, Chu Lin and Yu Zhen went together to the commander's living quarters.

When they entered his room, Han Dong gave Chu Lin the hundred Beast Cores that he won from Ning Feng previously.

Instead of acting courteous, Chu Lin did not hesitate to casually accept his gift.

After that, Han Dong brought the two of them to the warehouse in the camp.

The warehouse served as a place to store the supplies sent from Central Royal City.

"Yu Zhen, the equipment that I have ordered for you has arrived. Since you awakened via the injection of the Gene Drug, I will thus not be giving you another one."

Without further ado, Han Dong opened the door and led them into the warehouse.
