74: Chapter 74 Next

"That big guy was practicing Earth-attribute True Qi, right? He couldn't even withstand a single move?"

"What kind of fist technique is that kid using?"

"I can't recognize it. It somewhat resembles the Xuan-grade Advanced Thunder-Gang Break, but the essence is completely different."

In the spectator stands, everyone was filled with astonishment, whispering to each other, and the sound of discussion rose and fell.

Everyone had originally been certain that the ring master would be defeated in one move, and that the arena would disperse immediately after, so they were all secretly wary of each other.

Who could have expected that the situation on the stage would change in an instant?

Amidst their astonishment, everyone let down their guard and began to discuss among themselves.

The speed of the move Chen Moxuan used just now was something they asked themselves they wouldn't be able to handle either.

Now, they faced a tricky situation: if no one took the initiative to step onto the stage to challenge within one minute, according to the rules, the ring master could choose the next opponent himself.

Any one of them could be the next one.

They had thought they were rushing over to pick up easy kills, but who would have known they would run into such a tough nut to crack—extremely troublesome.

"He is clearly at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Stage, how could he erupt with such terrifying combat power?" Everyone lamented in their hearts, secretly feeling annoyed.

"This kid must have hidden his cultivation level!"

In the crowd, an exasperated voice rang out abruptly, but it was quickly refuted by everyone.

"Are you muddled in the head? That's simply impossible."

They had genuinely perceived the Aura of the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Stage from the True Qi fluctuations emanating from Chen Moxuan's body.

Moreover, the arena rules clearly stipulated that the ring master could only use the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Stage to fight.

Unless Chen Moxuan had heaven-defying means to deceive the Tongxuan Realm Saint who formulated the Secret Realm rules, there was absolutely no possibility of cheating.

Taking a step back, even if Chen Moxuan had such means, what could they do?

At this moment, real-time synchronization information of the arena battle appeared before their eyes.

[Ring Master Chen Moxuan defeated the challenger Sun Tao, obtaining all 860 points in his possession.]

"860 points!"

The people in the spectator stands once again deeply realized what it would mean if they could seize all of the opponent's points.

They didn't know how many points Chen Moxuan originally held, but just these 860 points from Sun Tao were enough to advance their ranking by dozens of places.

Compared to the sporadic few kills that were hard to get even after fishing in troubled waters for a long time, this huge sum of points before their eyes was tangible.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Seeing this high amount of points, everyone momentarily cast aside their previous anxieties and began to lean towards finding reasonable explanations for themselves.

"Hmph, it's truly not wrong to call you cowards."

In the spectator stands, a man who thought he had grasped the key stood up.

"Relying on the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Stage to unleash such a powerful Martial Skill, most of the True Qi in his body has probably been consumed."

"Guess why he has been delaying in actively pointing someone to come up to the stage? Isn't it just to buy himself some time to recover?"

Once this was said, many people suddenly realized.

That's right, being able to instantly kill a defense-specialized Earth-attribute Tiangang Realm Second Stage Martial Artist, how could the consumption of that Martial Skill be small?

However, while the man was speaking, he had already taken the lead to step onto the stage.

"You do have some tricks, but I don't specialize in fist techniques. I want to see if you can also unleash a Martial Skill with such astonishing power as the one just now using leg techniques?" The man locked his gaze tightly on Chen Moxuan and spoke.

"Leg techniques? I am indeed not very good at them." Chen Moxuan answered truthfully.

The leg technique Martial Skill he had mastered before was only the Yellow-grade Low-level Flying Swallow Springing Leg.

Hearing this, the corner of the man's mouth curled into a cold sneer: "The rules were set by you, so you can't blame me for this."

[This arena battle is limited to the use of leg technique Martial Skills only.]

[The match countdown begins, 10, 9...]

As soon as the countdown ended, the man exerted force with his legs, leaping high into the air like a cannonball, with the solid True Qi around his body rapidly gathering towards his legs.

In the blink of an eye, he turned sharply in the air and unleashed a fierce whip kick. This leg technique was powerful and heavy, just like a roaring cleaver descending.

As he kicked out, a white crescent-shaped True Qi emitting a piercing Aura shot rapidly towards Chen Moxuan.

Chen Moxuan reacted extremely quickly, tilting his figure slightly. The crescent-shaped True Qi brushed past his hair and slammed heavily into the arena floor, leaving a deep saber mark.

Before he could even catch his breath, he saw the True Qi under the man's feet surging, rippling in layers, forming an invisible footboard.

He borrowed force in the Void Realm, his legs dancing wildly, the speed so fast it was dazzling.

In an instant, a dozen crescent-shaped True Qi, like deadly flying knives, slashed fiercely towards Chen Moxuan from different angles.

"I will not give you any time to breathe!"

The man's strategy was very simple: to bring the advantages of the Tiangang Realm into full play.

One must know that the biggest difference between the Tiangang Realm and the Qi Control Realm is that the quality of the True Qi has changed.

The True Qi of the Qi Control Realm can only adhere to one's own body surface, providing extra protection for the body, or be imbued onto the weapons in hand.

Once the True Qi leaves the body and spreads outwards for several meters, it will gradually dissipate because it is difficult to maintain a condensed state.

However, the True Qi of the Tiangang Realm can be released over long distances and does not dissipate for a long time after leaving the body.

Relying on this property, Tiangang Realm Martial Artists can also use True Qi to walk on air, and their movement trajectories are not restricted by the ground at all.

Furthermore, in terms of True Qi reserves, the Tiangang Realm is also far stronger than the Qi Control Realm.

Facing the True Qi blades that were chasing him, Chen Moxuan seemed to be able to discern the trajectory of every one of the man's attacks, his figure nimble, dodging with the smallest movements each time.

Seeing that Chen Moxuan was just dodging blindly and showed no signs of counterattacking at all.

The man became increasingly certain in his heart that the opponent's True Qi was already running low after the previous battle.

"I don't believe you can keep dodging like this forever; there will eventually be a time for mistakes!"

The man still did not stop his crazy, rainstorm-like attacks; instead, his offensive became increasingly fierce.

Relying on the Tiangang Realm advantage of walking on air, he hovered high in the air, wantonly unleashing long-range attacks.

Although such continuous exertion also caused consumption to himself that could not be underestimated, as long as he maintained the current distance, he would be in an Innate invincible position.

He firmly believed that in the end, it would definitely be his victory.

"I've already grown tired of watching your leg techniques." Chen Moxuan said abruptly.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Moxuan suddenly bent his knees, thunder surging around his body, and with a speed that left people unable to keep up, he shot upwards rapidly.

In a flash, he was already high above the man who was attacking crazily.

"So fast! But you can't hit me from this distance either." The man thought to himself.

But before the man's thought had finished turning, Chen Moxuan suddenly turned his body in the air, and with an overhead bicycle kick, kicked out a huge, incomparable thunder crescent.

"How is it possible..." The man's pupils contracted instantly.

This Martial Skill was clearly the same leg technique he had just used, but when Chen Moxuan unleashed it, his leg was actually wrapped in Thunder-attribute True Qi. As the lightning flickered, the Aura was even more superior.

The lethality contained within it far exceeded the leg technique he himself used.

With the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Stage, by utilizing a Xuan-grade Martial Skill trained to a very high Realm, and then consuming a large amount of True Qi, it was indeed possible to unleash a long-range strike comparable to the Tiangang Realm.

But in this way, whether it was the claim that the opponent was not good at leg techniques, or the speculation that his True Qi was running out, both were completely overturned.

This guy was pretending from the very beginning; he was simply a complete fraud!

The man wanted to curse loudly, but his mouth could no longer open.

That crescent was unstoppable, instantly whistling across the center of the man's body.

Almost at the same moment, a thunder ray flashed rapidly downward from his glabella, and immediately after, a crimson bloodstain appeared.

He opened his mouth slightly, and his body, as if torn apart by an invisible force, turned into countless particles, dissipating into the Void Realm with his full heart of unwillingness.

[Ring Master Chen Moxuan defeated the challenger Ma Deli, obtaining all 720 points in his possession.]

Chen Moxuan landed back on the ground, his legs slightly bent, skillfully offloading the impact force of the descent.

Looking at the silent spectator stands below, he said with a calm expression: "The next one."
