137: Chapter 137 A Legendary Battle Ends in One Day: Fang Zhuo Sweeps Away All Extraordinary Beings!

Master Qin laughed heartily, feeling incredibly pleased as all his previous displeasure was swept away.

He turned his head, his face flushed with excitement as he watched the battle in the woods.

Just as several Flying Martial Artists had predicted.

In the woods, facing Anthony's frantic and exasperated pounce.

Fang Zhuo still nimbly dodged. This was the advantage of having superior Body Control; not only was his explosive power high, but his movement technique, agility, and speed were equally top-tier!

Fang Zhuo slashed his third strike at Takeuchi Miko.

This time, Takeuchi Miko only had time to raise her hand. With a loud clang, her combat saber flew out of her hand, and the blade slashed across her body.

Her ss-grade combat suit was instantly ripped open!

"You...! Pfft—!"

Takeuchi Miko's face turned pale as she spat out a large mouthful of blood, a hideous wound slashed across her chest.

Had it not been for the powerful vitality of her transcendent body, an Advanced Martial Artist would have lost half their life from this single strike.

"Bang—!"

Fang Zhuo followed up with a punch, landing it squarely on Takeuchi Miko's face.

Takeuchi Miko's vision went black, and the phantom of the 'Twin Pupils' behind her faded away. She collapsed unconscious, marking the very first elimination of this Ocean Gathering.

All these moves had unfolded in a mere instant.

The surrounding group of transcendents had barely blinked. They were still waiting for Takeuchi Miko and Anthony to tie down Fang Zhuo first.

Before they swarmed him together.

Now, the transcendents from various countries stared in horror at Fang Zhuo, who stood with his saber in hand and grinned at them. They all swallowed hard and took a step back in unison.

How the hell were they supposed to fight this!

If no one could tie Fang Zhuo down, his advantage with Body Control and Inner Scene Perfection was just too massive. Going up now would just be setting themselves up to be toyed with.

The transcendents from various countries instantly scattered like startled beasts, choosing to play safe and try to scrape by for a better ranking for their respective nations.

Seeing this, Anthony's face grew even uglier, and he also turned around to flee.

It was already impossible to deal with Fang Zhuo now. In this Legendary Group, Fang Zhuo was the absolute strongest transcendent, in a league of his own!

Since he couldn't compete for first place, he had to try to escape, survive, and secure second place for America!

Run, run, run.

Anthony bolted through the woods. As a Transcendent Martial Artist with a Life Level of 45, his speed was infinitely close to the speed of sound, causing violent sonic booms to echo through the forest.

"Still trying to run?"

Fang Zhuo took a deep breath, recovering from the exhaustion of his full-power burst. His figure shot forward like an arrow, closing the distance to Anthony in just a few seconds.

"Fuck!"

By this point, Anthony knew he couldn't escape. He immediately spun around and swung his saber, the phantom of his Martial Aspect, 'Golden Cicada', emerging behind him.

Facing this slash enveloped in golden light, Fang Zhuo also grew interested.

He wanted to test this Martial Aspect divine ability.

Without dodging or evading, he chose to unleash his full power, executing a sixfold Thunder Fire Blade!

Clang!

A massive metallic collision rang out. Fang Zhuo's web of his thumb and forefinger went numb, and a constant buzzing echoed in his ears.

"What a powerful counter-shock force!"

Fang Zhuo was slightly surprised. The intelligence his sister had provided had indeed played a significant role. If he hadn't dealt with Takeuchi Miko first and had clashed with Anthony directly, he might have run into some minor trouble.

However, with Anthony alone now, he couldn't stir up any trouble.

"Fang Zhuo!"

Anthony was even more shocked. Ever since he became a Transcendent Martial Artist, his Martial Aspect divine ability, 'Golden Body', had never been broken by a transcendent of the same level.

"You're ruthless!"

Fang Zhuo's strike had been too violently explosive!

The phantom of the 'Golden Cicada' Martial Aspect behind Anthony instantly vanished, and his spirit suffered a significant trauma.

"I surren—"

However, without waiting for Anthony to finish the word "surrender," Fang Zhuo slashed out once more.

"Pfft—!"

Anthony's ss-grade combat suit was also ripped open, revealing a wound deep enough to see bone as he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in succession.

Fang Zhuo followed up with another punch to Anthony's face, knocking him unconscious, before clapping his hands and sheathing his saber.

"Hmm... ten minutes have passed. There are still seven hours and fifty minutes left, which should be enough to hunt down and eliminate the rest of the transcendents."

...

The spectator stands.

"Takeuchi Miko from the New Moon Group and Anthony from the Future Group, these two transcendent geniuses, weren't even a match for Fang Zhuo for a single exchange when teaming up?"

"It looks like the Starry Sky Group is going to continue dominating the transcendent level for another ten years..."

Spectators from all over the Blue Star were dumbfounded.

Some among them were overjoyed, while others were filled with gloom.

"Big Brother!!!"

Seeing Fang Zhuo defeat both Takeuchi Miko and Anthony in quick succession, Fang Jing jumped onto her seat, excitedly waving her fists.

Beside her, Grandma Li Lan was also slightly dazed by the sight, completely forgetting to tell Fang Jing to sit down.

"Way to go, my grandson!"

In the central area, Fang Dawei was also incredibly thrilled. Beside him, Zhou Hui, Fang Wu, Li Ru, and the others were so excited they were speechless.

...

At the very top of the stands, in the Flying Martial Artist section.

In both the Future Group and New Moon Group areas, everyone's faces looked rather grim.

"This Fang Zhuo... is too arrogant!"

The white-skinned Flying Martial Artist who had looked so gentlemanly earlier snatched off his top hat, crumpled it into a ball, and gritted his teeth. "Anthony clearly said he surrendered!"

"This is intentional injury! He must be disqualified, and the referee should eject him from the competition!"

Within the Future Group, two other Black Flying Martial Artists also shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Disqualify him! He must be disqualified!"

From the section where the Flying Martial Artists leading the various countries of the Meidao Alliance were located, Nakamura Yuki suddenly flew out, waving frantically at Archie, the host of this Ocean Gathering.

"Disqualify him?"

Master Qin had been keeping a close eye on them. Hearing this, he immediately soared into the sky, raising his hand to slash a blade strike toward Nakamura Yuki.

The leader of the American team, peak Flying Martial Artist General Du Deng, immediately rushed up to intercept him.

The Flying Martial Artists from both the Future Group and Starry Sky Group also flew out in an instant, confronting each other once again.

However, compared to before, this time it was the Flying Martial Artists from the Future Group and the Meidao Alliance who were anxious.

"Anthony clearly surrendered, yet Fang Zhuo intentionally injured him. Does your Starry Sky Group want to shield him?"

"Which of your ears heard the word 'surrender'?"

Manager Song Min retorted coldly, her face now filled with sheer satisfaction.

Speaking of which, Fang Zhuo had cultivated too quickly within the group over the past few months, causing her to lose face in front of her secretaries several times. However, this time, he had truly helped her vent her frustration.

She had long been at odds with these Flying Martial Artists from the Future Group!

"Dozens of transcendents ganged up on Fang Zhuo under the leadership of Takeuchi Miko and Anthony. It's one thing that they couldn't beat him, but you actually expect him to hold back?"

Master Qin traded a punch with General Du Deng and bellowed angrily.

The tension between the two sides grew thicker, and a massive brawl at the Flying Sky level seemed on the verge of breaking out.

At this moment, from the spectator area occupied by the New Moon Group, Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen flew out once more, her cold gaze sweeping across everyone. "All of you, stop!"

"Chairwoman Zhao..."

The female Flying Martial Artist from the Future Group, Rosalind, called out.

Anthony was her student. Seeing that Anthony had tried to surrender, yet Fang Zhuo had brutally interrupted and injured him.

Although for a Transcendent Martial Artist, this kind of injury would only take about half a month of rest to fully heal and wasn't considered a major wound.

But Rosalind found this pill incredibly hard to swallow!

"Anthony did not say the word 'surrender'. There was nothing wrong with Fang Zhuo's strike. The match continues,"

Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen said indifferently.

She actually understood Fang Zhuo's actions quite well, even though one of the injured was a genius Transcendent Martial Artist from her own New Moon Group.

But Takeuchi Miko and Anthony had brought dozens of people to gang up on Fang Zhuo.

Even a clay Buddha would get angry.

Since they couldn't win and got beaten up, they should just shut up and take it.

Hearing this, the nearly ten Flying Martial Artists from both sides in the air ceased their squabbling and obediently sat back down in their respective seats.

"Satisfying!"

Manager Song Min was concise, expressing her feelings directly.

"Managers, Fang Zhuo has truly given me a massive surprise! This old Qin is having a blast today!" Master Qin also laughed heartily, unable to close his mouth from grinning.

The members of the Starry Sky Group all smiled and continued to look toward the battle in the forest.

"This kid Fang Zhuo... looks like he wants to take the initiative to eliminate everyone!"

In the forest, Fang Zhuo was aggressively pursuing his targets. He quickly caught up to a transcendent from one of the Meidao Alliance countries, who was frantically babbling in curry-flavored English.

"Oh, bro..."

Before he could finish.

Fang Zhuo slashed out, and the Indian transcendent immediately collapsed to the ground, wailing.

Fang Zhuo sheathed his saber and continued to search for the next transcendent from the Meidao Alliance.

Just like that, on the opening day of the Ocean Gathering—the highly anticipated first day—aside from the first ten minutes where Takeuchi Miko and Anthony teamed up to cause some minor trouble for Fang Zhuo, sending the spectators' adrenaline pumping...

...the remaining seven-plus hours became a hunting game of a wolf entering a flock of sheep.

Fang Zhuo was that fierce wolf.

The other hundred-plus transcendent representatives from various martial arts nations were no different from sheep.

One after another, the Level 45 transcendents couldn't even withstand a single strike from Fang Zhuo.

Fang Zhuo first eliminated the transcendents from the Meidao Alliance countries one by one, then moved on to the previously neutral transcendents, and finally, the transcendents from countries friendly with Great Xia.

Seven hours later.

"It's over..."

Fang Zhuo glanced at his tactical wristband. On the Legendary Group leaderboard, besides his own name, only the other two transcendents from Great Xia remained.

Meanwhile.

Chen Lingguang and He Kui were still lying prone in a dirt pit to the east.

The two of them desperately suppressed their own auras, not even daring to look up at their tactical wristbands, terrified of making any sound that might expose their location.

Believing that Fang Zhuo had been ganged up on and eliminated, they could only try to scrape by for a better ranking.

"Old He, why do I feel like something is off? There's no sound outside anymore. It's quiet enough to be scary."

Chen Lingguang silently calculated that the time for the first day of the transcendent battle was almost up, and he quietly raised his head from the dirt.
