80: Chapter 80 Your little Wu sister is so radiant...

Hearing Tang Liu's distorted roar,

the entire Martial Arts Arena first fell into a deathly silence.

Then, like a powder keg being ignited, it instantly exploded!

"Holy crap! Did I hear that right? Xuanguan Eight Apertures?"

"How the hell is that possible? During the final exam last semester, wasn't this playboy only at the Xuanguan Five Apertures?"

"It's only been a month-long break, and he broke through three apertures in a row?"

"This is crazy! Absolutely insane!"

"Breaking through three apertures in a month... even those Prodigies in the top ten of the immortal stele hidden dragon ranking wouldn't have such a Heaven-Defying Cultivation speed, right?"

"Wasn't it said that the Heir of the Marquis of Zhenguo was a trash who only knew how to frequent the Yihong Pavilion?"

"You call this trash? Then what are we? Less than trash?"

The students in the stands all had their eyes bulging out, nearly falling to the ground.

This was simply too world-shaking!

The loser they had always looked down upon with such intensity,

had suddenly transformed into a Xuanguan Eight Apertures expert on par with Tang Liu?

This intense sense of disparity made many feel a burning sting on their faces.

The White-robed Elder floating in mid-air above the Martial Arts Arena also wore a look of surprise, his hand even pausing mid-stroke as he smoothed his beard.

His vision was naturally incomparable to the inexperienced youngsters below.

"Not only did he forcibly raise his cultivation from five apertures to eight in just a short month..."

Vice Palace Master Feng's sharp eyes stared fixedly at Chen Shanzhi, at the dark golden luster slowly receding into his body, while waves of shock surged in his heart.

"Such vitality and Physical Body foundation... this kid has actually secretly mastered a very high-grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique?"

"Just how many Heaven And Earth Treasures has the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion poured into this kid?"

...

Inside the Martial Arts Arena.

Tang Liu, who had been sent flying by a punch, knelt on one knee on the cracked white jade floor.

He gasped for air heavily, the Divine Turtle Art within him circulating frantically.

The icy True Essence within his eight major aperture surged like a river, forcibly suppressing the churning blood in his chest.

Tang Liu stared fixedly at Chen Shanzhi not far away; the contempt in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a flash of shock and fury.

He took a deep breath and slowly stood up, opening his mouth to utter some harsh words.

"Chen Shanzhi, you actually..."

*Swoosh!*

Before he could finish, a gale suddenly rose!

Chen Shanzhi's figure was like a pouncing leopard, instantly tearing through the air to close the distance!

*Bang!*

A fist wrapped in dark golden Protective Aura rapidly enlarged in Tang Liu's pupils.

"Ridiculous."

Chen Shanzhi sneered in his heart.

Did he really think this was a turn-based game?

You punch me, I step back two paces, and then I wait for you to finish your lines before we continue?

I'm not an NPC; don't you know the principle that villains die from talking too much!

Strike while he's down!

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Taking advantage of the fact that Tang Liu hadn't fully caught his breath yet,

Chen Shanzhi's fists poured down like a torrential storm!

There were no flashy Moves, just raw, bone-crunching close-quarters combat!

Tang Liu never expected that the dignified Heir of the Marquis of Zhenguo,

would fight like a street thug with no sense of martial honor!

He wouldn't even let him say a word before going for the kill!

Caught off guard, he could only hurriedly circulate his Frost Protective Aura for defense.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

The dense sounds of True Essence collisions and air explosions echoed over the Martial Arts Arena like firecrackers.

The audience outside was completely dumbfounded.

This isn't how the script was supposed to go!

Wasn't Tang Liu supposed to one-sidedly slaughter the playboy heir?

Why was Chen Shanzhi now the one suppressing and beating Tang Liu on the stage?

Tang Liu was frustrated to the extreme!

After suffering a hidden disadvantage from the very first head-on punch, his rhythm had completely fallen apart.

Chen Shanzhi's offensive was like a mad dog.

Wave after wave, giving him no chance to catch his breath or pull away.

He could only retreat while fighting, struggling to defend himself.

"It's just a temporary burst of power!"

Tang Liu gritted his teeth, his eyes cold.

He had absolute confidence in the Divine Turtle Art he practiced.

When it came to a battle of attrition, Tang Liu feared no one in the same rank!

"Once your True Essence runs dry, it will be your end!"

Tang Liu calculated in his head while desperately protecting his vital points.

However, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.

The two had exchanged over a hundred Moves.

Tang Liu discovered to his horror that Chen Shanzhi, who was outputting power like a pile driver,

not only showed no signs of True Essence depletion,

but seemed to grow more energetic as he fought, his punches becoming even heavier than before!

"No... that's impossible!"

A trace of panic finally flashed in Tang Liu's eyes.

"The reason the True Essence in my body is so thick is because of the uniqueness of the Divine Turtle Art!"

"I traded Cultivation speed for this dense True Essence."

"How can Chen Shanzhi, a noble son who relied on drugs to pile up his level, have True Essence denser than mine?"

At the moment Tang Liu's mind wavered violently,

*Bang!*

The two clashed once more, their fists locked together in a brief struggle of strength.

Chen Shanzhi keenly captured the shock and confusion in Tang Liu's eyes.

A wicked grin suddenly curled on his lips.

Leaning forward slightly, he whispered into Tang Liu's ear in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Are you curious why I was able to break through three apertures in a month?"

"It's all thanks to your little sister Xiao Wu..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, she was truly moist to use, quite an unforgettable experience."

*Boom!*

These words were like a nuclear bomb exploding directly in Tang Liu's mind!

Tang Liu's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needle points!

The words that mysterious dark shadow had said to him in the courtyard south of the city,

echoed frantically in his mind again like a demon's whisper:

"That god-sister of yours has a very unusual identity..."

Thinking of this, Tang Liu's eyes were filled with rage.

"The Yunze Water I wanted, Xiao Wu always had it,"

"But she always guarded against me, hiding it away."

"And now she's even helping Chen Shanzhi..."

Countless negative emotions completely consumed Tang Liu's sanity at this moment.

His eyes glazed over for a split second!

"Now!"

A sharp light burst from Chen Shanzhi's eyes.

Psychological warfare is also part of a battle!

*Boom!*

Inside Chen Shanzhi's body, those eight fully opened major aperture,

at this moment, were like eight V8 engines at full power, squeezing out vast amounts of True Essence!

The violent True Essence flowed through his Meridians, gathering entirely in his right fist!

The dark golden Protective Astral Qi perfectly fused with the pure True Essence, erupting with an extremely blinding light!

"Shatter for me!"

Chen Shanzhi gave a thunderous shout, his right fist like a cannonball launched from its barrel.

With unstoppable momentum, he directly shattered the layer of Frost Protective Aura in front of Tang Liu, which had weakened due to his Divided Soul!

*Bang!*

A solid punch slammed heavily into Tang Liu's chest!

A visible circle of white airwaves, mixed with shattered ice crystals, burst directly through Tang Liu's back and exploded in mid-air!

*Pffft!*

Tang Liu sprayed out a mouthful of blood mixed with visceral fragments, his chest caving in visibly.

He was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut!

*Boom!*

A massive sound.

Tang Liu's body slammed hard into the golden Formation barrier at the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.

The immense impact caused the entire barrier to ripple violently like water.

Tang Liu slid down limply and crashed onto the white jade floor, kicking up clouds of dust that completely swallowed his figure.
