C19 Defeating the enemy with one move

On the morning of the second day, the golden sunlight shined upon the square. The square was put on a golden color.

The result of the Competition would turn out today. And the person who could become a core disciple would also be announced today.

Early in the morning, a lot of people had gathered here. Besides the many outer sect disciples, a lot of inner sect disciples had also come for they wanted to see who was that lucky dog today.

At the same time, there were also some inner sect disciples who made a bet with Contribution Points.

The disciples who had been dressed in green yesterday, were now in white. Twenty inner sect disciples in white robe showed up one after another.

The first to arrive here was Wang Meng. He looked energetic in white robe. As soon as he appeared, many people cheered for him.

Of course, most of them were female disciples.

After that was Wu Sheng, that nameless brat. Through yesterday's battles, he had accumulated a lot of popularity as well, and some people were cheering for him, too.

Soon after, it was Miao Kong. Everyone ignored him because of his small eyes and his average appearance.

After Miao Kong was Zi Chen. Zi Chen who was dressed in white clothing looked handsome, but he didn’t earn much popularity and there were no cheers.

Just as he appeared, the square resounded with deafening boos.

"It's him, Zi Chen, the guy who got the God-damn luck."

"That's him."

The booing was like the waves of the ocean, one after another, unceasing and they didn’t seem to stop.

"It seems that you are much more miserable than me." Miao Kong turned his head and joked.

Zi Chen shrugged unceremoniously. He did not care about the booing at all. Because today he was going to show his strongest strength and compete for first place.

This was Zi Chen's ultimate goal.

The Competition would end today and the winner would be announced. There was no need for Zi Chen to conceal his true strength today. The reason why he concealed it yesterday was he was afraid that someone would feel threatened and attack him at night.

After the booing, there was another round of cheers, this one was not weaker than the booing, it was much better than the booing. Lin Xue came out from behind Zi Chen, and was warm welcomed.

Next to them were the rest dozen or so other people. Among them was actually Ke Xue, a sturdy young man, using his Iron Fist to struggle into the top 20. He was truly powerful.

"Very good." The Great Elder stood on top of the high platform in a red robe, and spoke again, "Seeing you all, I can see the future of the Spirit Martial Sect, the Spirit Martial Sect will become much better because of you all. Fight, stimulate your potential, and let us old fellows see your true strength."

The crowd burst into an uproar. Twenty young men were all excited, their eyes filled with fanaticism and fighting spirit, including Zi Chen. Today, he was going to show his true strength fully. He was going to enter the core and become a core disciple.

For today's battle, he wanted to surprise and shock everyone.

"Alright, I see that all of you are ready. Let the battle begin." The Great Elder said.

The arrangement for the battles had already done yesterday. The one who would fight with Zi Chen was called Lu Ben, an eighteen-year-old youth who used a third-rate combat technique, Wind Slaying Blade.

It was just like Lin Ying at that time.

Only, in terms of the comprehension of the Combat Technique, Lu Ben was even stronger.

Twenty people were separated on ten battle platforms, and the battles instantly began.

Outside the platforms, Su Mengyao had appeared again today, but for the first battle, she did not watch Lin Xue’s, but Zi Chen’s instead.

"I wonder how his potential actually is. He hid his strength yesterday but he must show his true strength fully and completely today. He is really careful." Su Mengyao thought in her heart as a hint of curiosity appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Beside her, Chen Feng noticed every tiny change in Su Mengyao's expression. He looked at Zi Chen, a cold light flashing past his eyes.

At the same time, those who found Zi Chen was concealing his strength yesterday, also stare at him as well. So did Wang Xiong and the other inner sect disciples who wanted to deal with Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, you meet me, Lu Ben. Your good luck has already ended." The long knife was unsheathed, releasing a cold light, and Lu Ben smirked at Zi Chen.

"Your strength is not bad, and you could have had the chance to enter the top ten. Unfortunately, you meet me." Zi Chen said calmly.

"Nonsense, Zi Chen, it is not too late for you to admit defeat, otherwise, you would be injured by my blade, don't blame me for not reminding you." Lu Ben was furious. The long knife in his hands had already started to fight.

"Lu Ben, teach Zi Chen a good lesson."

"That's right. You must let guy with God-damn luck know your strength."

"Tell him that luck is luck while strength is strength."

The inner sect disciples who were defeated by Zi Chen by chance yesterday, started shouting from the outside today.

"Fight, you have one chance to attack me." Zi Chen remained calm, and said indifferently as he looked at Lu Ben.

"Humph. Then let me see if you have the chance to stop me from attacking." Lu Ben snorted. The light of blade suddenly flashed, and the long knife slashed towards Zi Chen. The moment the blade light flashed Lu Ben had already slashed out more than ten times, forming a dense net made of knives. The knife net flashed towards Zi Chen and was about to wrap him.

"You haven’t comprehended the true meaning, so your Blade light is full of flaws for me." Looking at the crowd of knife net, Zi Chen shook his head with his eyes filled with disdain. His feet moved, and in an instant, he dodged knife net's densest attack, and at the same time, he clenched his fists tightly, releasing a roar of a fierce tiger.

Fierce Tiger Going down the Mountain.

A violent punch penetrated through the dense knife net and directly punched on Lu Ben's chest.

"Bang."

After a dull sound, Lu Ben's body flew backwards and the long knife in his hands even slipped out of his hands in an instant.

One strike, and Lu Ben was defeated.

Surrounding them, there were initially some ridiculing laughter, but after Zi Chen easily won, all the ridiculing laughter stopped.

"This is the original meaning of the Combat Technique."

"This little thing actually comprehended the original meaning of the Combat Technique."

"There are three forms of Fierce Tiger Fist. He can actually unleash one attack in the form of true meaning. His talent is really not bad."

On the high platform, the expressions of all the elders were also filled with surprise.

"Original meaning." Su Mengyao's beautiful eyes continuously flashed. In the past, there had been only a few people at the fifth stage who were able to comprehended the true meaning. And every single one of them was able to obtain a good ranking.

"After comprehending the true meaning, he actually has the strength to enter the top ten. Did he conceal his true strength yesterday just to show off only one form of true meaning?" Su Mengyao was suspicious.

"Just one form of true meaning…" Chen Feng curled his lips. When he was at the fifth stage of the Genuine Qi, he had comprehended all the true meaning of a whole set of Combat Technique.

"You did comprehend the true meaning. I've underestimated you." A cold light flashed across Wang Xiong's eyes.

"So what if you can apply one form of true meaning? You're still trash, you still have to die." An inner sect disciple said.

The battles to enter the top ten were very exciting.

Zi Chen unexpectedly defeated his antagonist in just one strike which naturally attracted everyone's attention. And from that instant on, everyone else stopped hiding their true strength as well.

"Mountain-Splitting Palm."

Wang Meng bellowed with his entire body releasing a sharp Qi. He raised his hand high up, like a sharp blade, and fiercely slashed forward.

"Bang."

With a single strike, one could tell who was the winner.

He applied the Second-Rate Combat Technique and had also comprehended its true meaning. It was lucky enough for his antagonist not to die.

"Star-Explosion Fist."

A berserk Qi suddenly surged out of Wu Sheng's body. His entire body was like a ball of flame that could explode at any time and his whole fist was emitting a white flame. His fist collided with his opponent's fist.

"Crunch."

The sound of bones breaking sounded suddenly and Wu Sheng's opponent flew out upside down as both of his arms were drooping unnaturally.

It was another man who applied the Second-Rate Combat Technique and had comprehended true meaning as well.

"Thousand-Illusion Palm."

Layers of palm shadows appeared in the sky, some real while some illusory. A total of several hundred palm shadows covered the sky and punched down with a tremendous momentum. The strike of Lin Xue showed the true meaning as well.

"What's going on?"

The people in the distance had long been struck dumb. The shock in the eyes of the elders on the high platform was getting denser and denser. There were manifold true meaning shown one after another, which was far out of the expectation of them.

Compared with the true meaning of a third-rate combat technique that Zi Chen had comprehended, the true meaning of the second-rate combat techniques that the others had comprehended was the most shocking.

Everyone knew that the Second-Rate Combat Techniques were much stronger than the third-rate combat techniques, and the second-rate were harder to cultivate. But once someone comprehended the true meaning, their battle ability would immediately improve and even catch up to the First-Rate Combat Technique.

Compared with who had comprehended the true meaning of the Second-Rate Combat Techniques, Zi Chen who had shocked the crowd seemed simply too ordinary.

As a result, he was ignored again.

Miao Kong's Floating Cloud Steps had already reached the point where he could move as his wanted, which could finally light up people’s eyes. Relying on the Floating Cloud Steps, he was almost undefeatable. He could always manage to make narrow dodges of the antagonist's attack and then make use of this opportunity to attack back.

In the end, he won.

All the battles came to end one after another.

The top ten had already come out.

But to everyone’s surprise, all the ten of them had comprehended the true meaning. The spectators in distance were in an uproar.

"I have never imagined that the exam of the outer sect disciples this time would be filled with so many hidden talents." Chen Feng said indifferently, it was unknown if it was praise or ridicule.

"Amazing, everyone actually has comprehended a true meaning, and their talents were also great." The others were amazed.

In high platform, the Great Elder was still as calm as ever. The other elders were also a little surprised, but that was all.

The list of the top ten came out.

Wang Meng, Wu Sheng, Miao Kong, Lin Xue, Ke Xue, Luo Fei, Lin Mingchuan, Liu Lusheng, Pang Lujia and Zi Chen.

All ten of them had comprehended the true meaning of a combat technique, but Zi Chen was ranked last.

Yet another round of battles was quickly arranged.

They were Wang Meng versus Luo Fei, Wu Sheng versus Lin Mingchuan, Miao Kong versus Liu Lusheng, Lin Xue versus Pang Lujia, Ke Xue versus Zi Chen.

There was a distinction of five places between the two sides.

The second round of battles began once again.

This round was clearly even more intense.

"Hehe, Zi Chen, you can’t expect that you would finally fall into my hands, right?" Looking at Zi Chen in front of him, Ke Xue laughed sinisterly. He clenched his fists tightly, and cracking sounds came out from his joints.

"Yes, I never expect that." Zi Chen said indifferently, "But since we have met in the battle, I will naturally keep my promise."

"Promise? What promise?" Ke Xue was startled.

"I'll beat you heavily that your mom can’t even recognize you." Zi Chen said.

"Good boy." Ke Xue was so angry that he laughed instead, and said, "I will also keep mine, and beat you to death."

“The third-rate combat technique, Iron Fist.”

As he said, Ke Xue waved his iron fists and he fiercely punched towards Zi Chen with a whooshing sound.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Zi Chen clenched his fists and unleashed Fierce Tiger Fist.
