145: Chapter 145 Fierce Battle with Wang Jinhua: The Ultimate Showdown at the Ocean Conference

West Sea Island.

At the venue of the Ocean Gathering, on the arena in the very center.

"Fang Zhuo... you?"

The faint smile on Wang Jinhua's lips faded away.

Fang Zhuo's appearance took him by surprise; was this guy here to prank him?

No... Wang Jinhua narrowed his eyes slightly. From Fang Zhuo, he felt a long-lost trace of excitement, a pressure that only King-level Exotic Beasts in the Wilderness Area or some Flying Martial Artists could give him.

Fang Zhuo was strong!

How did his Life Level skyrocket to Level 49 so quickly?

Did Chairman Xiao give him a Cosmic-level treasure?

But this was treatment that even he, as one of the Seeds of Civilization, had never received!

Wang Jinhua felt inexplicably jealous. He feigned anger and said: "Very good. I didn't expect you to grow and cultivate so quickly!"

Half a year ago, when they first met in Jinhe City, Xia Country, Blue Star, Fang Zhuo was just an Intermediate Martial Artist whose Life Level barely reached Level 20.

He even got into a sorry state because of an Advanced Martial Artist when trying to access his father's work footage at the sparring gym.

Now, he could face him head-on in the same arena?

"Brother Wang, I saw no one else coming up, so I was afraid you'd be lonely..."

Fang Zhuo teased him, cupped his hands, and said: "Please, offer your guidance!"

"You brat!"

Wang Jinhua raised an eyebrow. Fang Zhuo was responding to what he had said at the celebration banquet. He gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, let me see your current strength."

As soon as the words fell, both of them moved at the same time!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two sonic booms rang out.

Under the eyes of tens of thousands of spectators at the West Sea Island venue, and behind the broadcast screens, there were tens of billions of viewers across the Federation.

Fang Zhuo and Wang Jinhua each threw a punch, colliding together.

Bang!

With an explosive sound, the shockwave spread out from the two of them as the center.

The battle flags of over a hundred martial arts nations on the sidelines began to flutter wildly.

"Evenly matched!"

"A stalemate?"

The spectators in the stands were shocked. Did Fang Zhuo really have the strength to rival Wang Jinhua?

"Damn, did Fang Zhuo of Xia Country hide his Body Control in the Legendary Group?" Among the audience, many seasoned Advanced Martial Artists still had a keen eye.

They saw that Fang Zhuo also possessed Body Control at the Reaching Heaven level.

"This is terrifying!"

"Ms. Takeuchi, we didn't lose unjustly." Anthony ran over from the Future Group's viewing area to the New Moon Group's side at some point.

"It is... Body Control at the Reaching Heaven level..."

Takeuchi Miko stared fixedly at the two Transcendent Martial Artists on the arena.

"The two of them are determined to engage in close-quarters combat. If they only rely on their physical bodies and Body Control, I'm afraid they'll be fighting until the end of time, right?"

In the New Moon Group, a Martial Artist who had just entered the Flying Sky stage exclaimed.

In terms of Body Control alone, he was no higher than Wang Jinhua and Fang Zhuo.

"No."

In the center of the crowd, Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen spoke calmly: "Wang Jinhua has already lost."

"Huh?"

"Chairwoman Zhao?"

The other two Flying Martial Artists at Level 50 and 51 also turned their heads, expressing confusion.

It wasn't that their judgment was poor; it was simply that the strength of Wang Jinhua and Fang Zhuo could no longer be measured by the standards of Transcendent Martial Artists, and they had only exchanged one blow each.

"Both of their combat power multipliers are 120 times, and their grasp of the battle is also on par. However, Fang Zhuo's physical foundation is more solid, his basic punch power is a fraction higher, and his stamina and resilience are the same. These slight advantages will slowly accumulate into a winning momentum."

Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen did not hesitate to explain to the martial artists under her group, asserting: "After three hundred rounds, Fang Zhuo will gain the advantage. Wang Jinhua can last five hundred rounds at most."

...

"Enjoyable!"

"Fang Zhuo, I didn't expect you to have reached this point!" After trading a punch, Wang Jinhua shook his arm, a wild smile on his face.

"Continue!"

Fang Zhuo also braced himself and swung his fist to meet him.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of punches. Their identical custom-made Xia Country combat suits both showed varying degrees of damage.

After colliding and separating again with another punch.

Wang Jinhua grinned and said: "It seems that although your Life Level improved quickly, your foundation is very solid and not superficial. Relying solely on physical bodies and Body Control, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to determine a winner."

"Draw your blade!"

As he spoke, he took down his battle blade. When he reached out to grasp the blade, Wang Jinhua's temperament changed abruptly, becoming dangerous, sharp, and keen.

"Be careful!"

Wang Jinhua warned Fang Zhuo and raised his hand to swing the blade.

A fiery red blade shadow emerged, accompanied by the sound of thunder and the crackling of flames.

Thunder Fire Blade secret technique killing move — Thunder Fire Echo!

A terrifying blade aura burst out from the blade first, hitting Fang Zhuo with a 'whoosh' at a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture.

Wang Jinhua followed a step behind with his blade.

"Is this where the real show begins?"

"Fang Zhuo is also at the sixth level of the Thunder Fire Blade secret manual, but I wonder if he has mastered the secret technique killing move, Thunder Fire Echo, of this sixth level?"

In the stands, tens of thousands of spectators didn't blink.

Fang Dawei, Fang Wu, Li Ru, Fang Hu, Fang Jing, and others held their breath.

Bai Shiwei was slightly better, but she was also incredibly nervous, breathing in and out heavily, feeling as if her heart was about to pop out.

Could her husband really top the Legendary Group and then the Peak Group in the same Ocean Gathering?

If he could really defeat Wang Jinhua, this would be an unprecedented achievement!

...

"Well come, Brother Wang!"

Fang Zhuo took a deep breath, also took down his battle blade, and slashed backhand.

It was also the Thunder Fire Blade secret technique killing move — Thunder Fire Echo!

Two vast white blade auras collided first, constantly eroding each other before dissipating.

Immediately after, all the spectators at the scene heard a huge metallic clashing sound.

Clang!

Fang Zhuo and Wang Jinhua both retreated dozens of steps, barely stopping at the edge of the arena, and then rushed forward again at the same time.

They swung their blades together, slashing again!

Boom!

Boom!

Rumble!

In less than two minutes.

The two Transcendent Martial Artists each slashed nearly two hundred times, all using the fifth and sixth levels of the Thunder Fire Blade, interspersed with the full-force killing move, Thunder Fire Echo.

When their blades collided again.

Fang Zhuo's brows relaxed. Brother Wang was struggling!

Sure enough, the blades separated, and the two parted. Fang Zhuo only took three steps back, while Wang Jinhua retreated seven steps!

"Is Wang Jinhua going to lose?"

"My goodness! Is the number one Transcendent Martial Artist of Blue Moon, Wang Jinhua, who has fought thousands of battles in the Transcendent stage without a single defeat, actually going to fall?"

"Fang Zhuo of Xia Country is truly... a monster!"

Tens of thousands of spectators felt their adrenaline surge and secretly exclaimed that it was satisfying.

This great battle between Fang Zhuo and Wang Jinhua might not have been clear to most ordinary spectators at the beginning, but as the two gradually became exhausted and the intensity began to drop sharply, they could see most of it.

At the New Moon Group's location, several Flying Martial Artists also respectfully turned their heads to look at their group's Cosmic Martial Artist, Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen.

"Chairwoman Zhao's insight is simply divine!"

...

On the arena.

The two clashed for another hundred blades.

Wang Jinhua gradually felt the strain, but he didn't give up, continuing to grit his teeth and swing his blade.

Damn... why is Fang Zhuo's physical body so solid? His Life Level cultivation is so fast... not only is it not superficial, but it's actually more solid than mine?

Could it be that the Superior Martial Aspect, which is beyond the records of the Federation, is so powerful at refining the physical body?

He didn't consider using his Martial Aspect, because Fang Zhuo hadn't used his, and being as proud as he was, he naturally wouldn't use it either.

This was a battle purely of Body Control and secret manual cultivation.

Besides, although he was confident in his Martial Aspect's divine ability, Fang Zhuo had been hiding his Martial Aspect, and it was a Superior Martial Aspect outside the Federation's records; its combat divine ability could not possibly be weaker than his.

Another Thunder Fire Blade collision.

Seeing Wang Jinhua almost slashed out of the arena, at the critical moment, he relied on his battle blade to catch the edge, barely stopping his figure.

Fang Zhuo laughed heartily: "Brother Wang, it seems that I am going to win this match!"

Strike while the iron is hot!

Take advantage of Brother Wang's weakness and knock him down!

Fang Zhuo twisted his body and rushed out. With Wang Jinhua's gritted-teeth expression, he slashed out his strongest blade again.

Life Level Level 49, basic punch power 762,008kg, Body Control at Reaching Heaven small success, Thunder Fire Blade sixth level, combat power multiplier 120 times!

The killing move Thunder Fire Echo, with an impact force as high as 91.44 million kilograms!

The sharp blade aura was in front.

The blade body, covered with layers of thunder and fire characteristics, was behind.

They blocked Wang Jinhua from the left and right!
