Chapter 169 The Power of the Mountain-Stabbing Technique
"Come on, everyone says you have an incredibly strong body, I'd like to see just how tough you really are!" Ma Rulong stood with his sword behind his back, his long robe fluttering even without wind.
His cultivation lay entirely in swordsmanship; physical strength was not his forte. Therefore, he dared not be too overconfident and secretly filled his entire body with Yuan energy.
In his mind, although his opponent's body was powerful, he had only just entered the Martial Life realm, and his Yuan Power was ultimately limited. On the other hand, he had long since cultivated to the Martial Warrior realm, and even though his cultivation was forcibly suppressed at this moment, he was still at the peak of the Martial Life realm. The two forces would evenly match, and there wouldn't be much of a difference between them.
Xiao Chong's expression was now solemn, and the flippant look on his face was completely gone.
"Bah!"
During the standoff, Xiao Chong suddenly shouted, clenched his fist with one hand, and threw a punch as fast as the wind, aiming straight for Ma Rulong's chest.
Ma Rulong had said he would withstand three moves from Xiao Chong with his bare hands. Now that he saw Xiao Chong make his move, he kept his word and blocked the opponent's fist with one arm.
Wave!
As their fists clashed, Xiao Chong remained unmoved, while Ma Rulong's body trembled, and he staggered back three steps.
"There's definitely something special about this! His physical strength is far superior to that of the average martial artist." Ma Rulong shook his slightly numb arm, feeling much more confident, and said, "Let's go again!"
"Let's do it again!" Xiao Chong threw another punch, this time with three times more force than the previous one.
Wave!
A fist landed squarely on Ma Rulong's chest. Ma Rulong's body trembled again, and he staggered back five steps, his long robe billowing backward from the force of the punch. It turned out that after regaining his composure, he had taken the punch head-on with his chest to show his magnanimity.
"You still have energy left? Did you not use your full strength in that punch? But if that's all you've got, it's really not enough!" After retreating five steps, Ma Rulong became even more confident.
Although the spot in his chest where he was hit was still throbbing, he didn't take it to heart.
He was now at the peak of the Martial Life realm. If he couldn't even withstand a punch from a Martial Life cultivator who had just entered the realm, then all his years of cultivation would have been for nothing.
Even if you could add more force to your punch, it would only cause more pain. As long as you endure it, with your swordsmanship skills, one strike is enough to defeat him. No, one strike is too much; half a strike will suffice!
Ma Rulong seemed to already see his opponent fall to the ground after a single sword strike, and all the infatuated female students in the audience once again bowing down at his feet. A smile began to appear on his face, and the dark aura that had accumulated earlier completely disappeared.
Sure enough, as if to match his wishes, the infatuated female students in the audience collectively started spitting out insults, their target naturally being Xiao Chong.
"Turns out he's all looks and no substance, almost making me look like a fickle woman!" The infatuated female student who cursed not only failed to reflect on her own actions but also blamed Xiao Chong.
“That’s right! Being fickle is nothing, but ruining one’s happiness for the rest of one’s life is a crime that Xiao Chong can never atone for!” Another infatuated female student spoke even more bluntly, making no attempt to hide her longing for happiness.
Well, these infatuated girls are annoying, but not hopeless. Hearing the discussion, Ma Rulong was secretly pleased and pointed at Xiao Chong, saying, "Xiao, you have one last chance. After three moves, I will counterattack. I just hope you won't disappoint me!"
Is that so? I'm afraid you won't have that chance! Seeing Ma Rulong's confidence, Xiao Chong chuckled to himself without saying a word.
Those two punches were just a test, to see if his opponent could withstand a collision. After all, they didn't have any deep-seated hatred, and it wouldn't be good if he accidentally turned his opponent into mincemeat.
"I can even break an iron man made of black iron, so how could your body be harder than black iron?" Xiao Chong gathered half of his Yuan energy, a strange smile suddenly appearing on his face, and lunged at Ma Rulong.
With a gust of wind howling, his body suddenly moved, swift and unpredictable, leaving only a blur in the air.
[Mountain-like Lean]!
A strong wind made it difficult for Ma Rulong to open his eyes. He tried to open his eyes, but suddenly his vision blurred and a dark shadow rapidly enlarged in his eyes.
The dark figure was so swift and heavy, like a prehistoric beast, unstoppable! An extremely dangerous feeling arose in Ma Rulong's heart.
Ma Rulong's smile froze, and he could no longer care about the three-move agreement. Almost instinctively, he thrust his longsword forward.
The shadowy figure didn't stop; instead, it crashed directly into the sword. Just as the sword was about to touch the opponent's chest, Ma Rulong relaxed, a slight pang of regret in his heart.
It wasn't for any other reason than that I felt I hadn't kept my promise, and even if I won, I would still be criticized. But no matter what, a victory is a victory, and although the process was slightly flawed, the merits outweighed the flaws.
But the next moment, the scene before him made his relaxed mood jump again.
The opponent was not pierced through the chest by a sword as expected. Instead, his sword felt like it had pierced a steel plate, and a tremendous force traveled up the blade.
Snapped!
The thin and narrow blade could not withstand such great pressure, and broke in the middle with a crisp sound.
Ma Rulong's expression changed again!
The dark figure showed no sign of stopping, continuing its advance with overwhelming force.
Ma Rulong's face was contorted with fear!
boom!
The dark figure finally crashed into Ma Rulong's arms.
"what!"
Ma Rulong let out a scream as his body flew several feet into the air, then fell off the platform like a kite with a broken string.
"You flatter me! Brother Ma's swordsmanship is superb, and I know I cannot withstand it, so I had no choice but to go all out. I hope Brother Ma will forgive me for any offense I may have caused." Xiao Chong jumped off the round platform and came to Ma Rulong, bowing deeply.
The force of this "Mountain-Pulling Strike" was just right, leaving Ma Rulong severely injured and unable to fight, yet without causing him to lose consciousness.
Are you trying to offend me? Are you trying to kill me? I'm just doing this for money, having a friendly spar with you. Do you have to go to such lengths?
Ma Rulong coughed up a mouthful of blood and tried to climb down, but his body was limp and he couldn't muster any strength.
Martial artists have abundant qi and blood, so spitting out a little blood is nothing to them. But why did you have to break my bones! It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, and now so many bones are broken. How long will it take to heal?
Ma Rulong was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat. He stared at Xiao Chong's smiling face, his eyes burning with rage.
How could that guy's smile be so hateful? And that face seems somewhat familiar... Right, didn't we meet outside the Trial Tower? Since that day, news has spread throughout the academy that the illusionary realm has been destroyed. Could it be...?
When Ma Rulong encountered Xiao Chong on the second level of the Trial Tower, Xiao Chong still had a pig-headed face. Although there was a change today, Ma Rulong didn't pay much attention. But upon closer inspection, he immediately remembered.
Hmph, you'll get what's coming to you if you damage me!
Ma Rulong glanced at the judge who had rushed over and shouted, "I want to report this! The illusion in the Trial Tower was destroyed by Xiao Chong!"
Hmm? This is a major discovery!
Upon hearing Ma Rulong's words, the Master's gaze sharpened and he immediately turned to Xiao Chong.
