Under the boiling beast blood that had nowhere to vent, there was a heart that was restless and unwilling to admit defeat. I could only feel the hot blood in my meridians surging recklessly. Then, just when I thought that the dawn was about to come, the blood in my meridians surged recklessly.
Zhou Zi 'ang fiercely struck my left chest, where my heart was. I didn't know if he felt the changes in my body, but this seemingly ordinary strike was extremely meticulous. With his attainments in martial arts, he naturally understood a martial artist's weakness, including the method to cripple one's martial arts.
Moreover, he didn't use his full strength. He only used the right amount of strength. If my life was tough and I was barely able to withstand it, I would lose all my cultivation. Zhou Zi 'ang could continue to torture me in the future. On the contrary, if I couldn't withstand it, I would die on the spot. It could be considered as once and for all.
Without a doubt, after the intense battle, Zhou Zi 'ang deeply understood how terrifying my strength was. Previously, I had heard from the audience that I had used less than half a year to grow from an unknown young man to such a high level. Even the most outstanding talents in the capital felt a strong sense of crisis.
Following Zhou Zi 'ang's strike, my heart meridian instantly suffered an unprecedented injury. It felt as if it could split into pieces at any time. Even if my body was strong, it couldn't withstand such a crazy destruction. Very quickly, my head tilted and I instantly lost consciousness.
"Hmph, it's all over." Zhou Zi 'ang played it down and revealed a trace of a relieved tone.
Upon seeing this scene, quite a number of people secretly sighed and could not help but shake their heads. Although he was only a talented young man from another place, he had written a thick and heavy stroke on the chapter of martial arts in the capital. After that, there was nothing else.
They could see Grandmaster Chen's disheartened expression, and they actually felt some sympathy for him. At this moment, no one doubted the talent and ability of this freak. As long as Grandmaster Chen spared no effort in nurturing him, in time, even the top tier geniuses in the capital would pale in comparison!
Perhaps in a few years, under his guidance, the Inner Force system would be able to compete with Qi-Jin!
This was absolutely not an exaggeration. Right now, he was just a piece of unpolished jade. If he met the right person and received proper guidance, he would definitely become the "Jade of Heshibi" among martial artists!
Unfortunately, before this piece of unpolished jade could shine, it was smashed into pieces.
Not far away, Guan Ruolan was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound. Her delicate body was trembling slightly, and her beautiful eyes couldn't hide the color of grief. It would be great if he could wake up. Guan Ruolan would be wild with joy even if he just talked to her, or gave her a simple hug. She even regretted it now. Why didn't she come over to remind this little guy after the results of the match had been announced?
If she lost her temper, the little fellow wouldn't be able to change her mind, right?
Perhaps the tragedy would not have happened. A wave of guilt and remorse that she had never felt before shrouded Guan Ruolan. She slumped to the ground, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and her body became cold.
At this time, the second and third arenas had also come to an end.
As Yang Zecheng was matched with Yinci from the Dragon Martial Group, although he did his best, he was still defeated in the end. Such an outcome was not unexpected. Speaking of which, the dark horse of the Hongxing Hall continued to be a dark horse. He seized an opportunity and conveniently knocked his opponent out of the arena. This also indicated that another participant from Gyeongbu Hall had been eliminated!
This caused a wave of cheers. This was because his outstanding performance had directly broken a rule. For the past four consecutive competitions, Gyeongbu Hall had always had two spots in the top three, and they had even domineeringly monopolized the top three. It would be a huge challenge for the other five martial arts schools to enter the top three. Unknowingly, they had gradually gotten used to Gyeongbu Hall's dominance in the local martial arts field.
From the looks of it, this year's champion would most likely be Zhou Zi'ang again. But at least Gyeongbu Hall only had one participant left in the top three, and this gave them some comfort.
At this time, the person who was the most excited was none other than the helmsman of the Hongxing Hall. From the looks of it, Hongxing Hall's ranking this year would definitely be amazing.
However, he could not laugh at the tragedy of the first arena. A legendary inner force prodigy had fallen just like that. Everyone present understood that the inner force system was likely to decline from now on.
At this time, just as Grandmaster Chen was about to walk out of the arena, he suddenly stopped and turned around. He stared at Zhou Zi'ang and asked coldly, "Why did you take his life?"
Not long ago, Director Du had called Grandmaster Chen out of concern and asked him all kinds of questions. Grandmaster Chen was already feeling proud of himself and the two bosses had given him great expectations. But now, the situation had changed too quickly. In the blink of an eye, the little guy had left.
Grandmaster Chen did not know how to explain himself to Director Du. From his point of view, although he had many concerns, he could not suppress the anger in his heart. The Qi-Jin martial artists in Jing City seemed to be of virtue and prestige, but when they reached the higher levels of martial arts, they became narrow-minded and feared that the inner force system would flourish.
This little fellow was like a beam of light, and they were like a small dark room where they couldn't even see their own fingers. When a beam of light shone into the darkness, this beam of light would be guilty. They had to admit that at certain times, the ugly side of human selfishness would be revealed to the fullest.
Although there were no underground forces in the capital, there were still some problems that could not be ignored among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Take the local martial artists for example. Under the flourishing coat, there was actually a sickly and frail body.
Those who had reached the level of Grandmaster Chen had a deep understanding of this, and they knew very well that the martial arts civilization of hundreds of thousands of years ago was far superior to that of today.
It was precisely because of the pursuit of common ground and the contention of hundreds of schools of thought that there was an unprecedented era of Zhen Wu. Nowadays, martial arts were gradually declining. Although martial arts conferences were held every few days, hoping to recreate the golden age of martial arts, they did not find the root cause. Instead, they ran against each other. The most ridiculous thing was that they could not even tolerate a single genius, so how could they talk about recreating the golden age of martial arts?
"Ahem, Grandmaster Chen, don't forget that in the arena, life or death is up to fate. Even if I kill him, there is nothing wrong with it, right?" At this time, Zhou Zi'ang was a little embarrassed, so he braced himself and said.
