146: Chapter 146 The First Extraordinary Warrior of Blue Star

"Clang—!"

Wang Jinhua barely steadied himself. Facing the full-force strike coming from Fang Zhuo, he had no choice but to hurriedly draw his blade to intercept, only to be knocked out of the ring and fall toward the ground.

"Wang Jinhua has lost...!"

"Fang Zhuo actually defeated Wang Jinhua?"

In the stands, tens of thousands of spectators were in disbelief. Everyone widened their eyes, watching Wang Jinhua fall from the ring.

Could there still be a twist?

"Wang Jinhua can't possibly lose! He'll definitely turn this around!" In the vast sea of spectators, Manager Tang Lan and a man wearing a black training uniform sat at the edge of the stands.

As Manager Tang Lan said this, she covered her own eyes, not daring to look any further.

Transcendent Martial Artists cannot fly. Having been knocked off the ring, hanging in mid-air with nowhere to leverage force, how could he possibly turn it around?

"Alright, stop swooning. Wang Jinhua isn't going to fall for you. It's good that Fang Zhuo won; our performance reviews will both be rated S-class this year."

The man in the black training uniform also sighed with emotion.

Half a year ago, he and his junior sister were invited by the principal of Jinhe City Martial Arts Junior College to attend the career fair as representatives of a key enterprise.

When they saw Fang Zhuo back then, they only thought his Martial Aspect was a bit strange...

In just half a year, he had grown to the point of defeating Wang Jinhua head-on. The Transcendent Martial Artist ranked number one at the group headquarters would have to change from now on.

Above the ring.

Fang Zhuo panted heavily, slowly sheathing his blade.

His pale gold combat suit snapped in the wind.

Tens of thousands of people fell silent, their gazes shifting back and forth between him and Wang Jinhua.

Fang Zhuo also looked at the falling Wang Jinhua: "That was a hard-fought victory... Actually, my physical foundation is better than Brother Wang's, and my strength is a fraction higher, but Brother Wang's combat experience is far too rich. Besides, this wasn't a life-or-death battle; otherwise, the outcome might not have been certain!"

"When I go back this time, I can consider doing more trials in the Heaven-Reaching Tower to train my combat skills."

Fang Zhuo was thinking.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted.

Wang Jinhua, who was about to hit the ground, suddenly halted his descent. His figure hovered one meter above the ground, and immediately after, a powerful wave of life energy surged from within him!

"A Flying Martial Artist...!"

"He actually broke through to become a Flying Martial Artist!!"

"How is the outcome of this Transcendent battle calculated now? Did Fang Zhuo win, or lose?"

Tens of thousands of spectators in the stands gasped. In that split second, their hearts almost skipped a beat!

"In this Transcendent battle, Fang Zhuo actually helped Wang Jinhua take the final step. His Transcendent body has been completely tempered..."

Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen was also somewhat surprised; a look of joy inadvertently appeared on her brow.

In this way, the Transcendent seed of the civilization would change, and there would be another choice for the Flying seed of the civilization. The chances of the Federation civilization advancing were slightly higher...

"Fang Zhuo!"

"You won this Transcendent battle." Wang Jinhua soared into the sky and flew back onto the ring.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at Fang Zhuo: "But... I didn't lose either!"

"..."

Fang Zhuo was speechless. Brother Wang really cares about face... But it's understandable; after all, he had bragged and made bold claims at the celebration banquet.

There were tens of thousands of spectators watching at the scene of the Ocean Gathering.

If it were him, he probably would have done the same...

"Indeed, Brother Wang, you didn't lose. You broke through to become a Flying Martial Artist right at the critical moment, and you didn't fall to the ground." Fang Zhuo gave Wang Jinhua plenty of face.

Facing this result.

Archie was a bit dazed. He flew over from the side, looked at the two of them for a moment, and then shouted aloud:

"This Ocean Gathering, Peak Group Transcendent battle, ends here!"

Archie asked the two with his eyes.

"Give it all to him." Wang Jinhua said indifferently.

The reward for first place in the Peak Group, 1,000,000 civilization points, meant nothing to him, especially after becoming a Flying Martial Artist.

Moreover, Fang Zhuo had indeed won this battle.

Seeing Wang Jinhua say this, Fang Zhuo naturally accepted it without hesitation. He was worthy of being first in the Peak Group.

"The Ocean Gathering's strongest Transcendent has been decided: Fang Zhuo from Xia Country!"

"Let us remember the name Fang Zhuo!"

Archie's booming voice echoed throughout the entire West Sea Island.

"Fang Zhuo!"

"Blue Star's number one Transcendent!"

Tens of thousands of spectators in the stands gave thunderous applause and cheers.

Fang Jing held her waist with one hand and tightly pinched Bai Shiwei's thigh with the other.

Grandma Li Lan was also incredibly shocked nearby.

The invincible Transcendent Wang Jinhua lost. If that's the case, if Auntie Zhiyi were to face Fang Zhuo, wouldn't she fail to last even ten moves?

Then, when Fang Jing had her coming-of-age ceremony, would she still be able to successfully enter the Li family genealogy?

Grandma Li Lan's mind went blank. It turned out that Fang Zhuo's original idea wasn't arrogance, but a genius's absolute self-confidence...

"Go up and plant the flag."

Archie took down the Xia Country battle flag and handed it to Fang Zhuo.

"Thank you, Senior."

Having had the experience from eighteen days ago, Fang Zhuo was much calmer this time.

But amidst the roaring cheers of the audience, Fang Zhuo truly walked to the mountaintop, looking at the dense crowd of heads below.

The coastline seemed to surge wave after wave in response to these shouts.

Fang Zhuo felt a surge of excitement in his chest. He slammed the battle flag into the mountaintop, and the two bright red Xia Country battle flags fluttered in the wind.

...

This Peak Transcendent battle.

The number of spectators in front of the screens exceeded ten billion.

At the Future Group headquarters, on an internal viewing floor, a tall woman wearing a secretary's uniform looked respectfully at the man beside her and said:

"Jiang Chen, what do you think of this Fang Zhuo from Starry Sky Group?"

This female secretary was from the Commercial Department of Future Group. She was worried; their biggest competitor, Starry Sky Group, had a newcomer, Fang Zhuo, whose momentum was like fire.

He was a Martial Arts Junior College graduate.

In the future, once he became a Flying Martial Artist, he would threaten Jiang Chen's position as the number one Martial Arts Junior College student in history, and Starry Sky Group would be able to snatch back a portion of the mid-range advertising market share.

"No rush."

"A Flying Martial Artist isn't so easy to break through to. Wang Jinhua spent several years grinding for it."

Jiang Chen had a burly build and a large head. Just sitting there, he gave people an extremely powerful sense of oppression, like a small mountain standing there.

"That's true..."

The female secretary breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Flying Martial Artists were not easy to break through to. How many genius Transcendent Martial Artists in the Blue Moon Federation had fallen at this step, wasting countless years until their two-hundred-year lifespan ran out, dying in regret? There were not a few examples of this.

Sigh... She had been scared by Fang Zhuo's momentum. In just over half a year, he had become an invincible Transcendent and defeated Wang Jinhua head-on.

At the Ocean Gathering, he topped both the Legendary Group and the Transcendent Group!

"However, even if Fang Zhuo can't break through to Flying Martial Artist in the next two years, his unprecedented feat at the Ocean Gathering alone is enough for Starry Sky Group to take the opportunity to snatch back a small portion of market share."

The female secretary thought about it again, and her expression became somewhat unpleasant.

"Alright, between us and Starry Sky Group, it's ultimately just healthy competition. Whichever side has the stronger martial artists should earn more."

Jiang Chen glanced at the female secretary from the department and said coldly: "There's no need to stir up trouble in front of me. Even if I have a battle with Fang Zhuo in the future, that will be years later, and it will be an internal matter within the Federation. Your vision... shouldn't be so narrow!"

"Yes."

The female secretary immediately fell silent, lowering her head, not daring to say another word.

Jiang Chen was nominally her colleague, but the status of a Flying Martial Artist was extraordinary; the actual status of the two was like heaven and earth.
