29: Chapter 29 You'd Better Not Run into Me

After resolving his own match, Chen Mo did not leave immediately.

Because the next match was the No. 1 contestant, which was Cheng Men's match.

He wanted to see just how outrageous this Energy Absorption could be, and also his fighting style.

A brand new arena slowly rose from underground; it seemed the committee had anticipated such a situation.

However, what Chen Mo didn't know was that there was actually only one spare arena prepared, and it was meant for force majeure events like earthquakes.

No one expected someone to be reckless enough to dismantle the arena until only a small piece remained just to narrow the combat range.

The committee was currently frantically urging the factory to produce new arenas, because they realized that Chen Mo intended to use this move as a standard tactic...

In Cheng Men's rest area, the Principal of No. 1 High School was sitting on the side with a gloomy expression.

"Cheng Men, our No. 1 High School had a total of three Talent-based Martial Artists, and now only you are left."

The Principal of No. 1 High School sighed deeply; he didn't even know what to say about this Joint Exam.

Normally, Talent-based Martial Artists should be able to make it to the end, not to mention having such powerful talents like Xie Jing and Zhao Zihao.

But things often develop in unexpected directions, for example, Xie Jing and Zhao Zihao were both eliminated...

The rules of the City-level Joint Exam were simple and crude: win one-on-one to advance to the next round, and the eliminated contestants competed for the remaining rankings.

He originally thought that with three Talent-based Martial Artists, their No. 1 High School would definitely be the first in the Joint Exam this year...

"I know, you don't need to say more."

Cheng Men flexed his wrists and stood up, walking towards the brand-new arena.

"That Chen Mo just has brute force; his punches hitting me will eventually be returned to him."

"Principal, your worries are a bit unnecessary."

Cheng Men glanced at his principal and walked onto the arena.

"Sigh..."

The Principal of No. 1 High School couldn't say anything. Cheng Men's talent was terrifyingly strong, and his talent in the path of martial arts was even more frighteningly high.

Now he could only be a spectator, serving this master Cheng Men well; perhaps there was still a chance to compete for first place in this Joint Exam.

Chen Mo looked at Cheng Men standing on the arena with his arms crossed, feeling that this kid was full of arrogance.

"My fists are starting to itch..."

Squeezing his fully recovered fist, Chen Mo had an urge to punch Cheng Men to death.

"Cheng Men's talent is Energy Absorption. You will see what the specific effect is in a moment."

Principal Liu Zhifeng looked at Cheng Men on the arena with a worried expression. Compared to a talent like Super Acceleration that could be restricted by terrain, Cheng Men's Energy Absorption countered Chen Mo even more.

So far, no one knew what the upper limit of Cheng Men's Energy Absorption was, because no one had ever reached his limit.

"Tell me first, does this Energy Absorption have an upper limit?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

If there was no upper limit, wouldn't he be unable to beat him even if he exhausted himself?

No, not just him; even the strongest person in this world wouldn't be able to beat this kid.

"There is an upper limit; after all, there is no such thing as an invincible talent in the true sense."

Principal Liu Zhifeng nodded, his eyes still locked on Cheng Men.

In the gap between their conversation, the battle on the arena officially began.

Cheng Men glanced at the Ascetic Martial Artist wielding a long saber in front of him, shook his head, and walked towards him without any defense.

The Ascetic Martial Artist's brows were tightly locked; he knew he was no match for Cheng Men, but in the martial arts world, there was no such thing as surrendering without a fight!

He stepped lightly, and the long saber in his hand stabbed towards Cheng Men's eye socket.

Cheng Men remained in that arrogant posture, letting the tip of the long saber pierce his eyeball.

But an astonishing scene occurred.

The tip of the blade did pierce the most fragile part of the human body, the eyeball, but it couldn't shake it in the slightest.

"Are you done?"

"Get down."

Cheng Men slapped out, and the Ascetic Martial Artist raised his long saber to block!

Boom!

After a muffled sound, the Ascetic Martial Artist was embedded into the surrounding spectator stands, head bloody.

The whole audience was silent.

The shock of this scene was no less than the scene where Chen Mo smashed the arena, and perhaps even more so.

The referee wanted to step forward to announce the victory, but was dodged by Cheng Men.

He walked straight towards the direction where Chen Mo was, and pointed a finger at Chen Mo.

"Your kind of low-level talent is not qualified to stand on this arena."

"I will let you know what kind of talent can be called a talent; yours is just a little different from ordinary people."

After speaking, without looking at Chen Mo's reaction, Cheng Men turned and walked off the arena.

Principal Liu Zhifeng looked at Chen Mo, whose veins were bulging on his forehead and who had crushed the armrest into sawdust, and hurriedly blocked in front of him.

"Don't be agitated, don't be agitated, there will be a chance to meet him later."

"If you go up and fight him now, that's a private fight. The initiator of a private fight will be disqualified from the Joint Exam!"

"Don't forget your goal, don't be affected by his provocation; this is also a kind of tactic!"

Chen Mo's breathing became quite heavy, sounding no different from the breathing of a beast.

"Don't worry, I haven't reached the point where I lose my head just because someone provokes me."

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the urge to tear Cheng Men into pieces, Chen Mo replied.

"Tomorrow is the round of eight to four, right?"

"He better pray not to run into me..."

Principal Liu Zhifeng looked at Chen Mo, whose eyes were red, and thought to himself, and you say you haven't lost your head.

If it wasn't for him blocking, this kid would probably have fought that Cheng Men to the death on the spot.

...

As the round of sixteen to eight practical combat matches ended, the list for the round of eight to four was also announced.

The remaining five Talent-based Martial Artists all advanced, and three Ascetic Martial Artists also advanced.

The Ascetic Martial Artists who could make it here were no longer weaker in actual combat power than these Talent-based Martial Artists.

Of course, the monster Chen Mo with a combat power of 99999 was not included.

Night, Chenguang Orphanage.

"Grandpa Director, when will Brother Mo be back?"

"I haven't seen Brother Mo for several days, I miss him so much..."

Several children were chattering around Director Gu Sanding, while Xueni was feeding medicine to those children who were only two or three years old.

"Oh, your Brother Mo is doing important business now, he will be back in three or four days~"

Director Gu Sanding gently coaxed the children around him; these children were all very dependent on him and Chen Mo without exception.

Or rather, more dependent on Chen Mo...

"Director Gu."

A familiar figure walked into the Orphanage and waved at Director Gu Sanding while standing in front of the window.

"Xueni, you take the children to wash up and go to sleep first, we have a guest."

Seeing Director Zhou outside the window, Director Gu Sanding stood up and said to Xueni.

"Okay, Director."

Xueni nodded obediently. As a child who grew up in the Orphanage, she was much more sensible than her peers.

After the children all left, Director Zhou walked in.

He looked fierce, and with his sturdy build, the children would definitely be scared if they saw him.

"I wonder what brings Director Zhou here?"

Director Gu Sanding chuckled and poured a glass of plain water for Director Zhou.

There was no help for it, their Orphanage was too poor; it was good enough that they had an extra cup to give Director Zhou water to drink.

"Nothing much, it's just that the Martial Education Bureau plans to build a police station next to the Orphanage."

Director Zhou said in a very flat tone words that left Director Gu Sanding stunned on the spot.

"Director Gu, don't be surprised; after all, after this Joint Exam, Chen Mo's background will be known to everyone."

"By then, it will probably cause some trouble for your life and the children's lives, Director Gu, so it's better to arrange police force in advance."

"Yes, yes, yes, that is indeed correct."

Director Gu Sanding nodded; this Director Zhou was really thoughtful.

But what he didn't know was that Director Zhou was considering much more than he thought.

The new police station was not just to guard against those who wanted to disturb the children's lives, but also to guard against some people with ulterior motives.
