"Jiang Yunhong is finally getting serious, using the Tiger Howl Fist!" "It's said that Jiang Yunhong has cultivated his Tiger Howl Fist to the Minor Accomplishment stage. Combined with his strength at the Body Tempering Fifth Stage, this fight will surely end badly for Jiang Chen." "This so-called 'waste' blocked two of Jiang Yunhong's moves and got cocky. He doesn't know his place. He's asking for death!"
...
As Jiang Yunhong charged toward Jiang Chen with full force, the square filled with voices of pity and mockery.
"Little bastard, you're dead!" Jiang Yunhong's eyes burned with rage, his expression twisted in fury.
To him, this slot to enter Lingyun Martial Academy, earned by Jiang Wuya, the head of the Jiang family, was his only chance for success. Anyone who stood in his way would be crushed without mercy!
Jiang Chen remained calm, his expression unchanging. He clenched his fist, and a powerful force surged within him, like a mountain ready to collapse.
"Yellow-Rank Primary Martial Art: Stone Fist!"
With a low shout, Jiang Chen's fist collided head-on with Jiang Yunhong's.
Boom!
Their fists clashed violently, the impact echoing across the square.
A figure screamed as it was sent flying backward, landing several meters away.
"Now Jiang Chen will be lucky if he escapes with his life," one disciple remarked, shaking his head.
A mere Body Tempering Second Stage martial artist challenging someone at the Fifth Stage was sheer madness.
But as they looked closer at the fallen figure, their eyes widened in shock.
"It's... It's not Jiang Chen!"
"Am I seeing things? Jiang Yunhong
was the one sent flying!"
"You're not mistaken. Jiang Chen
defeated Jiang Yunhong! He sent him
flying with just one punch!"
"This... This is unbelievable! Jiang Chen, the so-called 'waste' of the Jiang family, defeated Jiang Yunhong, a Body Tempering Fifth Stage martial
artist?"
"Jiang Yunhong tried to take
advantage and lost everything. Our
young master truly kept a low profile-
until now!"
The entire square erupted into
stunned silence.
No one could believe what they had
just witnessed.
They had all assumed Jiang Chen
would lose miserably. Instead, he had
won effortlessly, with a single
devastating punch!
"Is this really the same 'waste' we
know?"
Jiang Qianhe, too, was in shock.
Jiang Chen was the well-known young master of the Jiang family, but he had been stuck at the Body Tempering Second Stage for years. Despite Jiang Wuya's efforts, Jiang Chen's progress had seemed hopeless.
Just last night, Jiang Yunhong had
injured Jiang Chen and stolen the Lingyun Martial Academy token from
him. Now, in the span of one night, Jiang Chen had transformed. He had gone from being a so-called "waste" to
defeating someone three stages higher!
"This... How is this possible?" Jiang Qianhe murmured, his mind reeling.
As the crowd stood in stunned silence, Jiang Chen walked calmly toward Jiang Yunhong.
Standing over him, his voice was cold
and clear, echoing throughout the
square:
"Jiang Yunhong, you lost. Hand over the Lingyun Martial Academy token!"
