63: Chapter 63 The Fifth Life, The Blazing Sun Illuminates the Martial Path (Part 11)

He effortlessly dodged this fatal punch, his movements flowing like water, like wind blowing past willow leaves, without exerting the slightest effort.

Zhao Xuan's punch missed, instantly throwing him off balance, and his heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't expected Chu Shi's movement technique to be so agile, easily dodging his full-strength strike.

He had no time to think; with a roar, he spun around and threw another heavy punch, aiming straight for Chu Shi's chest.

The force of this punch was even more fierce and violent than the last!

Yet Chu Shi continued to dodge unhurriedly, his feet stepping in the Seven Star Steps that he had tempered thousands of times in his previous life.

It seemed casual, but it always precisely avoided Zhao Xuan's attacks.

Zhao Xuan's tempest-like onslaught couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

"Chu Shi! Why are you hiding?! If you have the guts, fight me head-on!"

Having fought for so long without even touching the edge of Chu Shi's clothes, Zhao Xuan's eyes turned red with rage as he roared frantically.

His vital energy poured out as if it cost nothing; his moves grew increasingly fierce, but also increasingly chaotic.

In the private room on the second floor, Seventh Prince Xiao Jingyuan watched this scene, his eyes lighting up slightly as he muttered to himself.

"Interesting. This footwork is not simple."

Inside the protective barrier, Chu Shi looked at Zhao Xuan, whose breathing was already in disarray, sneered, and finally made his move.

Taking a step forward, his figure instantly appeared in front of Zhao Xuan, and he threw out a seemingly ordinary punch.

This punch had no earth-shattering sound of breaking air, nor did it have any dazzling spiritual light; it was completely unremarkable.

Yet it precisely timed the exact moment when Zhao Xuan's old strength had just faded and his new strength had yet to arise.

The fist pointed straight at his Shanzhong Acupoint.

Zhao Xuan's pupils dilated. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Chu Shi's fist landed solidly on his chest.

A surge of colossal force exploded instantly.

This power directly dispersed the vital energy throughout his body, forcefully shattering his defense.

Zhao Xuan staggered back several steps and fell flat on his butt, a sharp pain shooting through his chest.

He swallowed back a mouthful of blood, all color draining from his face.

Sitting on the ground, his face was filled with resentment and disbelief.

He couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it—with the support of his Mad Lion Battle Body, why had he been subdued by Chu Shi in a single move?

Instantly, the entire venue fell dead silent.

Everyone was stunned.

One move?

Just one move?

Zhao Xuan, who had awakened the Mad Lion Battle Body, was actually defeated by Chu Shi in just one move!

It took a full three seconds before the entire crowd erupted into deafening cheers, almost blowing the roof off the Martial Arts Arena.

"Oh my god! Senior Brother Chu is too amazing. He finished it in just one move!"

"Is this the strength of a Top-grade Root Bone combined with the Innate Flaming Sun Body? This is terrifying!"

"Senior Brother Zhao was so arrogant just now, but he was defeated in a single move. The gap is just too huge!"

In the main seat, Elder Zhang suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock and joy.

He had originally thought that even if Chu Shi could win, it would take some effort.

But he never expected that Chu Shi would actually decide the victory in a single move.

His control of timing, power, and angle in that punch just now had already reached a highly tempered level.

Even disciples who had immersed themselves in the martial path for decades might not be able to deliver such a perfect punch.

How could this be a youth who had only practiced basic cultivation methods for seven days?

This was clearly a battle-hardened martial arts grandmaster!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Elder Zhang said "good" three times in a row, his face filled with an uncontrollable smile.

He had truly found a treasure!

This Chu Shi was absolutely a once-in-a-millennium genius!

Inside the barrier, Chu Shi walked up to Zhao Xuan, looking down at him from above, his tone indifferent.

"You lost."

Zhao Xuan lay on the ground, his face full of resentment and defiance.

But in front of Elder Zhang, he could only reluctantly admit defeat and accept the outcome.

Chu Shi didn't bother to look at him like this. He turned and walked out of the barrier, arriving before the main seat and bowing to Elder Zhang.

Elder Zhang laughed heartily, personally handing him the wager and patting his shoulder.

"Chu Shi, you are excellent! You did not disappoint me!

Once we reach the Holy Land and you formally enter, I will personally recommend you to be a Core Disciple."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted into an uproar once again.

A Core Disciple!

Core Disciples of the Great Sun Holy Land needed to take a master.

And only Silver Marrow Realm elders of each peak had the qualifications to take disciples!

Could it be... Elder Zhang intended to personally take Chu Shi as his personal disciple?

Everyone present cast envious looks.

Chu Shi took the Body Tempering Paste and bowed again, "Thank you, Elder."

At this moment, Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan in the second-floor private room could no longer sit still. He turned to Xiao Xiao and asked:

"Xiao Xiao, I plan to take this opportunity to go down and get to know this genius.

Do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Xiao waved her hand. "Forget it, forget it. Seventh Brother, go by yourself.

I have no interest in smelly men.

Instead, I'm quite interested in that 'fuse', Yun Mengyao."

Her quirky eyes rolled around as if she were planning something.

Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan's lips twitched, feeling a bit of a headache. "Xiao Xiao, that woman is no good.

I even had the guards look up her details over the past two days; she is a pure bad woman.

She's... what was it again?

Oh, right.

She is exactly what you always call a green tea bitch!

Describing her that way is absolutely spot on. Don't get fooled by her."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Go quickly, Seventh Brother.

The crowd will disperse soon. With my clever little brain, how could I possibly be fooled!"

As she spoke, Xiao Xiao pushed Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan out.

"Alright, alright, alright, I'm going, I'm going. Just be careful yourself.

It's not like this is the first time you've been fooled by a girl."

Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan was somewhat helpless. This younger sister of his was great in every way, except she liked women.

Usually a bright and clever little witch, she would lose all her intelligence the moment she saw a pretty girl.

This caused the entire Canglan Princes Mansion endless headaches.

With that, he stepped out of the room and walked down towards the Martial Arts Arena.

Soon, Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan squeezed through the crowd, arrived in front of Chu Shi, and cupped his hands with a smile:

"Brother Chu, I have long heard of your great name.

Today's battle was truly an eye-opener.

I am Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan, the seventh son of the Canglan Princes Mansion, and I have specially come to make friends with Brother Chu."

Hearing the words "Canglan Princes Mansion," the surrounding disciples went into another stir.

The Canglan Princes Mansion was the ruling mansion of Canglan State, and its strength was among the top of the Eight Ruling Mansions of the entire Tianwu Dynasty.

It possessed overwhelming power; this Seventh Prince's status was truly extraordinary.

Chu Shi looked up at Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan and politely returned the gesture.

"The Seventh Prince is too polite. To be able to befriend Your Highness is also Chu Shi's honor."

Seventh Prince Xiao Yuan smiled and handed over a box. "A small gift to congratulate Brother Chu on your victory.

Inside are some cultivation resources, just a token of my appreciation. Once we reach the Holy Land, we should visit each other more often."

Chu Shi did not decline. He accepted the wooden box with both hands. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, Yun Mengyao squeezed through the crowd and quickly ran up to Chu Shi.

Her eyes were slightly red, her face filled with admiration and gratitude. With tears in her eyes, her voice was so soft it could melt water:

"Brother Chu, you are so amazing!

Thank you! If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do...

You are my savior!"
