25: Chapter 25 Holding Principles in Your Own Hands

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—

Liu Kai's ears were filled with the clanging of the crimson blood battle armor and the alloy blade.

In his eyes, the blade in Chen Moxuan's hand seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Leaving only countless mottled afterimages, the trajectory of the blade was completely invisible.

Chen Moxuan's swinging speed had already exceeded Liu Kai's limits of perception.

From all directions, the residual force of the blade surged in like a tide, violently battering Liu Kai's body.

Liu Kai was momentarily beaten into a series of stumbles.

Other than instinctively raising his arms to protect his head and neck, the areas with weaker defenses, he could do nothing else.

"By executing such a Martial Skill, he surely cannot last long," Liu Kai judged in his heart.

Although his crimson blood battle armor also consumed his qi and blood to offset the impact force when taking attacks.

But his cultivation was one minor Realm higher than Chen Moxuan's, and in terms of the amount of qi and blood alone, it was far more than Chen Moxuan's.

The advantage in a war of attrition was his!

However, it didn't take long for Liu Kai to discover with astonishment that the qi and blood within his body were being consumed at an astonishing rate.

Having mastered the true meaning of the Shadow-Breaking Void-Severing, Chen Moxuan's Shadow-Breaking Blade Technique had no wasted effort in its execution.

Each strike better than the last, the offensive was continuous and unceasing.

Crack.

A sound of metal shattering, distinctly different from the sound of blade collisions, reached Liu Kai's ears.

"Could it be that I will lose?"

The moment this thought arose, an unprecedented sense of fear began to spread within Liu Kai's heart.

Grandfather, didn't you say that at school I could bully whoever I wanted?

Shouldn't these trash be destined to be trampled under my feet from birth?

With the Liu Family as my backing, no matter how much this orphan with no parents Cultivates, he shouldn't be able to compare to me in the slightest!

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

"You are clearly just a piece of trash at the sixth stage of the first Realm!"

Liu Kai appeared insane, rushing toward Chen Moxuan without any method or order.

Chen Moxuan easily dodged this lunge from Liu Kai and circled behind him.

After Liu Kai used the crimson blood battle armor, although his strength and speed were on par with the Qi Control Realm, his combat skills were far inferior.

Since arriving in the Martial Arts World, the two consecutive battles Chen Moxuan faced were both against people whose cultivation was one major Realm higher than his own.

At this moment, fighting against Liu Kai and the others, he had the feeling of encountering small mobs only after finishing a boss.

"Truly weak," Chen Moxuan couldn't help but remark.

He raised the sharp blade in his hand high above his head and slashed down violently.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a rain of metal fragments splattered everywhere, revealing a shocking blade scar on Liu Kai's back.

Bang!

Liu Kai was heavily knocked to the ground by this strike, his qi and blood exhausted, and the crimson blood battle armor covering his body melted like ice and snow, rapidly dissipating.

As a small metal ball with a notch rolled out from before him, the blade in Chen Moxuan's hand also collapsed, turning into tiny fragments that merged into the metal ball.

"This thing is quite novel."

Chen Moxuan glanced at the metal ball, stepped over the prostrate Liu Kai, walked to the counter where the grade a blood qi essence was stored, and took the qi and blood agent, tucking it into his bosom.

Curiosity is one thing, but he only came to take back what belonged to him and did not intend to forcibly take the metal ball for himself.

Such behavior would be no different from Liu Kai and the others.

Chen Moxuan's original intention for wanting to become stronger was to become someone who could hold fast to oneself as one pleased.

Not being changed by the influence of secular external forces, not needing to cover up one's own incompetence by bullying the weak, and not needing to betray friends and family while shouting that the world is just like this.

Becoming what kind of person is one's own choice, not out of compulsion.

At least for now, he is willing to choose to be a person with self-principles.

"You actually dared to break my crimson blood battle armor!"

"Do you know how expensive it is!?"

The roar from behind caused Chen Moxuan's footsteps, prepared to step out of the door, to come to a sudden halt.

Chen Moxuan sighed, helplessly turning back to look.

He saw Liu Kai struggling to crawl forward a distance, cradling the metal ball in his hands.

Chen Moxuan's final strike was mostly offset by the crimson blood battle armor, not causing enough damage to severely injure Liu Kai.

"You piece of trash! Even if you sold all your organs on the black market, you couldn't pay for it!"

"Just you wait, my Liu Family will definitely..."

A slender hand grabbed Liu Kai's neck, lifting him up with one hand, interrupting his clamoring.

"No need to wait, let's do it now."

"Originally, I got my qi and blood agent back, you received the lesson you deserved, and this matter would have ended."

"But now, my mood, which you ruined, also needs to be calmed down."

In principle, Chen Moxuan is not someone who bullies the weak, but when facing some people, he does not mind holding his principles in his own hands.

After saying this, Chen Moxuan loosened his grip on Liu Kai's neck.

Before Liu Kai could prepare to continue clamoring, Chen Moxuan backhanded a punch to the side of Liu Kai's face.

A few broken teeth immediately flew out of Liu Kai's mouth mixed with blood, and Liu Kai's figure stumbled back a few steps, but was pulled back by Chen Moxuan.

"The first punch, because of the mess you caused, I wasted a lot of time."

As his voice fell, Chen Moxuan threw another punch squarely into Liu Kai's face, sending blood splattering everywhere.

"The second punch, opening your mouth and closing it with 'trash', can't you say any other words?"

Chen Moxuan continued by hitting the other side of Liu Kai's face with a punch, just so both sides of his face could be more symmetrical.

"The third punch, I loathe stupidity, and I get annoyed when I see an idiot."

This punch slammed into Liu Kai's abdomen, causing him to bend over in pain.

"The fourth punch, I can't be bothered to think of a reason."

Chen Moxuan grabbed Liu Kai's head and lifted it, his fist rhythmically and continuously pounding on Liu Kai's face.

He controlled his strength so as not to let Liu Kai pass out too quickly.

The fifth punch, the sixth punch, the seventh punch, the eighth punch...

Until Liu Kai's body completely stopped struggling, Chen Moxuan released his hand, letting Liu Kai slump to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Liu Kai's face was thoroughly distorted and deformed; there wasn't a single complete piece left on his face.

It is estimated that even his own mother would only call him an ugly thing and would not associate him with her own son.

After finishing all this, Chen Moxuan felt refreshed all over, and a familiar voice came from behind.

"Although I said I would back you up, you really aren't polite..."

Chen Moxuan turned his head at the sound, only to see Ma Jingyuan standing at the doorway, though he didn't know when he arrived.

"Teacher Ma, when did you arrive?" Chen Moxuan said, feeling slightly awkward.

Ma Jingyuan slowly spoke: "From your first punch."

"I tried to communicate with them properly, but they wouldn't cooperate." Chen Moxuan shrugged.

Ma Jingyuan took a deep look at Chen Moxuan and remained silent.

He observed that Chen Moxuan's aura was stable, and his whole body, even the corners of his clothes, were clean, not at all looking like someone who had experienced an intense battle.

He had expected Chen Moxuan to win, but he hadn't expected it to be a crushing victory.

This made him, who had rushed over out of worry after finishing his call with the principal, seem somewhat ridiculous.

Relying on his cultivation at the sixth stage of the first Realm, Chen Moxuan was actually able to crush someone at the ninth stage of the first Realm and someone at the Peak of the first Realm.

Such strength, based on Chen Moxuan's performance in the previous match against Lin Muhan, was definitely unattainable.

Except for the final Thunder Shock Punch he unleashed, during the competition, Chen Moxuan relied more on that keen intuition that was nearly precognitive to hold on.

Only three days have passed since the competition, and furthermore, Chen Moxuan even spent two days in the hospital.

In such a short time, Chen Moxuan's strength had actually undergone an astonishing improvement again!

Was it a case of accumulating for a long time to break through, or an Epiphany?

In just one afternoon, the surprises Chen Moxuan had brought him were already too many.

Of course, the shocks were not few either.

Seeing the mess in the room, Ma Jingyuan felt a headache.

With Liu Kai beaten like this, there was a nine-out-of-ten chance he would be unable to participate in the Martial Arts Exam a month later.

The old man of the Liu Family, who doted on Liu Kai extremely, would definitely be furious, but that was something for the principal to worry about.

What he had to do was to clean up the mess at hand.

"Class monitor, the class this afternoon is changed to self-study."

Ma Jingyuan took out his phone and sent a voice message to the class monitor of Traditional Martial Arts Class 2.
