This is understandable. He has been practicing martial arts for nearly 20 years, while I am just a newcomer. It has only been less than half a year since I made a name for myself in Yuncheng. Even the peerless geniuses on the national list can't compare with me in this kind of rapid progress, can they?
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I might really lose today. Although it was like what they said, it would be a glorious defeat, I wasn't willing to accept it. I thought about Director Du's unsparing efforts in training me, sister-in-law's expectations, and the fact that Nan Yun had always been labeled as a barren land of martial arts. I wanted to change this through my own efforts. I really wanted to.
Although the fairy teacher didn't come to the dojo challenge, I was sure that she was quietly paying attention to the news because she still had hope for me. Although a few days ago, when we met by chance, and some unpleasant things happened, I always felt that she hadn't given up on me.
Maybe in their eyes, this was just a starting point for me to start anew. But I couldn't allow myself to fail. I was afraid of tasting the bitter consequences of failure. This might be the embodiment of the inferiority complex of mountain children.
Just like sister-in-law had said, I wanted to show my superior side in the city to prove myself. It was precisely because I was on a bigger stage that I was eager to succeed. No matter if it was for myself or for other people's expectations, I had to do my best and charge to the end.
I continuously changed my fist techniques and used almost all of the skills that I had learned from the [Dragon Fist]. However, I was still unable to cope. After all, Zhou Zi 'ang was able to see my every move in a battle that wasn't a direct match.
It was obvious that after suffering, Zhou Zi 'ang was 120% vigilant. In his eyes, there was only the desire to win.
Seeing that I couldn't do what I wanted, he became even more aggressive. An unprecedented palm strike landed on my lower abdomen.
At that moment, I felt the sky turn dark, and my body couldn't help but tremble.
That fierce force was wreaking havoc in my body. In just a breath's time, I felt my blood boil.
"Pfft." Suddenly, I felt something sweet in my throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhou Zi 'ang didn't give me a chance to breathe. He raised his hand, wanting to give me another painful blow.
"Stop!"
Grandmaster Chen's voice came from not far away. He waved a hand and a surge of internal force suddenly appeared. Although Wang Zhen, the world's most powerful Qi-Jin master, had created a small space, that layer of protection could only block the destructive force from the inside out. It would not stop Grandmaster Chen from attacking.
Zhou Zi 'ang hesitated when he heard Chen Fan's anxious shout. He had already advanced to the top three. After all, Chen Fan was completely defenseless. From Grandmaster Chen's point of view, he would definitely want to protect Chen Fan. Even if he had to spend a thousand honor points, it wouldn't matter.
Although the guy in front of him had stopped at the top six, he was a well-deserved dark horse. He would probably enter the top three in the next Dojo Challenge Competition. There was a rule in the Dojo Challenge Competition. A genius could only participate three times.
On the other hand, Zhou Zi 'ang had won the championship two times in a row. He just wanted to fight for the Treble. This way, it could be considered a Grand Slam. Now it seemed that the biggest obstacle in his path to the Treble was this kid.
"It's okay. Keep fighting. Even if the sky falls, I will support you. Nan Yun is too arrogant. He doesn't know how to keep a low profile. I won't kill him, but I will at least destroy his martial arts."
At that moment, Mr. Jin, who was sitting on the judge's seat, stood up and put his hand on Grandmaster Chen's shoulder.
The atmosphere instantly became hostile, and the spectators were instead secretly delighted. As the saying goes, watching a good show was never a bad thing. The battle on the 1st arena was undoubtedly brilliant, but compared to the conflict between these two big shots, it was child's play.
Those who came to watch the competition were not ordinary people. At least some of them knew about the international assassin organization. Moreover, Grandmaster Chen and President Jin supported half of the world of assassins in Hua Xia.
Grandmaster Chen didn't care much about fame and fortune. However, President Jin was worried that his position would be replaced. He had tried to expel Grandmaster Chen from the assassin organization several times, but he couldn't find the right opportunity.
Even the Dragon Martial Association founded by President Jin had a bad relationship with the Guowei Dojo. In fact, a few days ago, President Jin had already received the news that I was going to the capital. At that time, he had also considered making a move on the plane, but at the last moment, he received the news that the Li Family's golden daughter and jade leaves were on the same plane as me. If we were to fight too fiercely and cause the plane to crash, it would not be a joke.
Therefore, after a short discussion, President Jin generously allowed me to return to Imperial City safely. It was undeniable that I was Grandmaster Chen's hope. With his personality, he rarely showed his eagerness for talents in front of so many people.
However, President Jin didn't care. No matter how much trouble Nan Yun caused, once he arrived in the capital, he would know how deep the water was. Originally, he wanted to use the opportunity of the dojo challenge to send me to the Western Paradise. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the consequences.
However, after seeing me continuously advance through the ranks, President Jin couldn't sit still anymore, especially after seeing the rain of swords. It was so terrifying that even he couldn't see through it. He only felt that this wasn't a martial art that existed in the current era. If the opponent was his disciple, [Hidden Thrust], there was an 80% to 90% chance that he would have lost.
Luckily, it was Wang Zhen's proudest disciple, who was able to withstand it. Now, he couldn't miss this opportunity. Without a doubt, when the dojo challenge ended, Grandmaster Chen would announce that he had accepted a disciple. In the future, with Grandmaster Chen as an umbrella, it wouldn't be so easy to find a suitable opportunity. In time, this rising star would completely shine, and no one would be able to cover his brilliance!
President Jin was really panicking. For a long time, the Guo Wei Dojo had been secretly suppressed by him. It was precisely because there wasn't a particularly outstanding genius. Although Yang Zecheng was also very outstanding, he wasn't considered to be at the top echelon of the pyramid.
As for this kid, he definitely deserved it. Just the martial art just now alone had shocked Wang Zhen, the number one Qi-Jin master in Hua Xia, to the point that he couldn't recover for a long time. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked like he was thinking about something.
President Jin had a premonition that if he couldn't stop this kid's growth, in the near future, no one in the Dragon and Tiger Society would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and he wouldn't be able to cultivate this mysterious freak.
For most martial artists, the road of martial arts was long and arduous. However, there was a very small group of people who were born for the sake of martial arts.
