Chapter 209 The Battle for the Top Three
After receiving a reprimand from Tang Jiu'er, Chen Lie slowly delivered the Dislocating Bone Technique.
"I'm slow to react, sorry."
"Slow reaction time? I don't believe you for a second!"
Tang Jiu'er was almost amused by Chen Lie's words.
She regained her freedom and hurriedly moved her arm, instantly glaring angrily at Chen Lie: "Bastard, you actually broke and dislocated my arm with your bone-setting technique?!"
"Really? You're too fragile. I didn't even use much force."
"You did this on purpose!"
Tang Jiu'er stormed off the stage. She had lost, and there was a revival match later. Her arm had to recover within half an hour, or she could forget about making it into the top five.
Chen Lie did it on purpose. He had disliked Tang Jiu'er for a long time, especially after the gathering of eight provinces. When questioned, she actually lied about military intelligence, causing the provincial government of Guannei Province to suspect her.
Chen Lie knew that Tang Jiu'er might not have intended to harm him, but was just acting on impulse. However, such impulsiveness could sometimes really kill people.
"Even the top-tier members of the genius team are using basic fighting techniques in a duel?"
"Why are these basic fighting techniques so powerful? It seems I need to delve deeper into basic fighting techniques from now on."
"If the person performing the fighting technique is skilled, then the fighting technique will naturally be skilled. It has nothing to do with the fighting technique; the skilled person is the one who is skilled."
The audience members below the stage started discussing it.
"The second match of the top five competition, Wang Dongting vs. Lu Qingyun."
Please have two students come up to the stage for a contest.
On the battle stage, Wang Dongting and Lu Qingyun stood opposite each other.
Lu Qingyun felt a chill in his heart; he knew he was no match for Wang Dongting.
It is said that Wang Dongting has broken through the extreme realm of Qi and blood, his marrow is as refined as mercury, his Qi and blood are as smooth as syrup, he possesses immense strength, and his strength is far superior to his own.
Although they were intimidated, the members of the genius team were not allowed to admit defeat in the martial arts competition.
-
Upon hearing the slogan "The martial arts competition begins," Lu Qingyun steeled his resolve and instantly unleashed his strongest A-rank martial art, O.
"Chiba Shadow Hand!"
Lu Qingyun exerted all his strength and instantly unleashed hundreds of palm prints. The dense palm prints seemed to form a giant leaf, attacking Wang Dongting with overwhelming power.
"Utterly worthless!"
Wang Dongting looked disdainful. He didn't move an inch, standing still as he pushed out a palm.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Lu Qingyun's A-rank martial art palm print leaf instantly disintegrated, and the immense force sent Lu Qingyun flying backward, falling off the battle platform.
The moment he landed on the ground, Lu Qingyun barely managed to steady himself and avoid falling, thus preserving a semblance of dignity for himself.
Despite this, Lu Qingyun's body was still churning with blood and qi due to the powerful force, and his face was flushed.
"Wang Dongting defeated Lu Qingyun and advanced to the top five."
Wang Dongting left the battle stage without changing his expression.
In the VIP section, Provincial Governor Luo Chengfeng and Martial Arts Association President Xu Tianchuan nodded slightly.
"This Wang Dongting is not bad!" Luo Chengfeng said.
"Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wang Dongting will still win the championship in this all-person martial arts competition," Xu Tianchuan echoed.
"I know Lu Qingyun. He has a blood energy value of over 2,000 calories. He couldn't even withstand a single move from Wang Dongting."
This Wang Dongting must have reached the pinnacle of the Qi and Blood stage, right?
"Yes, the punch he threw at Lu Qingyun just now was far from Wang Dongting's true strength. In this all-out martial arts competition, no one should be able to force him to use his full strength," Xu Tianchuan said.
Luo Chengfeng hummed in agreement and then fell silent.
Below the arena, many elite students and trainees from the genius training camp were also restless.
"Is this the top martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province? He's really impressive!"
"That's right. Lu Qingyun was handling Guan Qi, who was also in the top ten, with ease. I didn't expect him to be unable to withstand even one move from Wang Dongting."
"The martial arts champion is indeed the martial arts champion; he truly deserves to be the best in the entire province."
"The third match of the top five competition: Song Yixuan vs. Luo Zhixun."
Please invite the two students to come up on stage for a martial arts competition.
In the waiting room next to the battle stage, Chen Lie immediately looked solemnly at Luo Zhixun and Song Yixuan who were taking the stage.
In this martial arts competition, the only one who could pose a significant threat to him was Song Yixuan.
The gap in strength between Song Yixuan and him is too great. If Song Yixuan is determined to compete for first place, Chen Lie will have no choice but to resort to unconventional mental attacks.
Using mental power will surely lead to a surprising victory and win this martial arts competition.
But the upcoming martial arts tournament in Sichuan will be difficult to handle.
This time, by using mental energy, Song Yixuan will definitely be prepared for mental attacks during the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament. The rewards for the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament will definitely be better than this time. It would be a great pity if she failed.
He watched Song Yixuan's previous battles and found that she was very restrained in her attacks. Every time she defeated her opponent, it was by a narrow margin. She did not show much strength. It was clear that Song Yixuan was actually trying to hide her strength.
However, whether she will remain in hiding or not depends on this top five competition.
If you make it into the top five, then it doesn't matter whether you hide or not. Once you're in the top five, there's no need to hide anymore; you might as well just go for first place.
If Song Yixuan reveals her strength this time, she certainly won't hide it in the Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament in the future. The key will be the outcome of this match.
If Song Yixuan stops here, it means she hasn't shown her full strength yet. If she wins this martial arts competition, it means she really wants to compete for first place.
After the host announced "The competition begins".
Song Yixuan managed to exchange two blows with Luo Zhixun, then pretended to be outmatched and was quickly driven off the fighting stage.
Upon seeing this result, Chen Lie immediately withdrew his gaze. The result was in, and it seemed that Song Yixuan did not intend to reveal her strength.
"Luo Zhixun defeated Song Yixuan and advanced to the top five."
"The fourth match of the top five competition, Xu Yuanhao vs. Liu Wan."
Please invite the two students to come up on stage for a martial arts competition.
Xu Yuanhao walked onto the battle stage with an indifferent expression.
On the other side, Liu Wanwan gracefully arrived opposite Xu Yuanhao.
"Xu, I know I'm no match for you. Actually, I've wanted to spar with you for a long time."
"In the upcoming duel, let's stop short of a draw. Show off your skills, how's that?"
"Can."
Xu Yuanhao nodded slightly.
After the host announced, "The martial arts competition begins," Xu Yuanhao and Liu began their sparring.
Xu Yuanhao's attacks did not display overwhelming power; the battle was not aimed at determining a winner, but rather a pure exchange of skills.
Liu countered Xu Yuanhao's moves with equal skill.
The elite students below the arena were stunned, and the instructors from various universities said one after another: "This is a teaching-style competition among the top members of the province's youth genius team. Everyone is watching it carefully."
Even learning just one or two moves will benefit you for a lifetime.
The elite students held their breath and watched the martial arts competition on the stage with utmost care.
After exchanging dozens of blows on the fighting platform, Xu Yuanhao and Liu Wanwan jumped off the platform.
"Xu Yuanhao defeated Liu Wanwan and advanced to the top five."
"In the fifth match of the top five competition, Jiang Mingyue will face Guan Qi. Please come up to the stage for the duel."
In the final round of the top five competition, Jiang Mingyue faced off against Guan Qi. Both of them had around 2200 health points, and Jiang Mingyue ultimately narrowly defeated Guan Qi by one move.
In the revival round of the top five competition, Tang Jiu'er defeated Lu Qingyun, Guan Qi and other opponents, and won the opportunity to challenge in the revival round.
She carefully considered her current top five opponents: Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Chen Lie, Xu Yuanhao, and Jiang Mingyue.
If she hadn't just been defeated by Chen Lie, she would definitely have thought that Chen Lie was the weakest and easiest to manipulate among these people.
But now, Tang Jiu'er has only chosen Jiang Mingyue as her opponent in the revival round.
Jiang Mingyue knew that with her strength, she was definitely no match for Tang Jiu'er, a Grandmaster seed. She was prepared to be eliminated from the top five because Tang Jiu'er's blood and energy values were both higher than hers, and she had no chance of winning.
But once she stepped onto the battle stage, she noticed that Tang Jiu'er's arms seemed rather inflexible, especially her right arm, which looked like it was just for show.
Tang Jiu'er missed several opportunities to defeat herself.
Jiang Mingyue eventually guessed that Tang Jiu'er must have injured her arm. She seized the opportunity and attacked her vital points, finally sending Tang Jiu'er off the battle stage.
Below the arena, Tang Jiu'er glared at the waiting room with a face full of resentment: "Damn it, if it weren't for the dislocated bones in my arm, how could I not even make it into the top five?"
She returned to the war room with an indignant expression.
Seeing Tang Jiu'er's defeat in the top five competition, Luo Zhixun couldn't help but ask, "Jiu'er, what happened to you? Your strength is clearly stronger than Jiang Mingyue's. Is it because you weren't in good form?"
"The ghost is not in good condition. It was that bastard Chen Lie who dislocated my arm with the Tendon-Dislocating Bone-Splitting Technique."
Although I managed to take it back, in such a short time, I couldn't muster any strength at all; even lifting my hand was difficult.
How can I win in this situation?!
Luo Zhixun was taken aback and stopped talking.
It's already quite an achievement to have managed to get through the first few rounds of the revival round after losing an arm.
Jiang Mingyue is no ordinary little Kalami; she is a top member with over 2,000 calories of Qi and blood and nearly four times the strength.
Tang Jiu'er stormed up to Chen Lie and demanded, "Chen Lie, you bastard! Why did you hit me so hard? You made me not even make it into the top five!"
Chen Lie merely glanced at Tang Jiu'er and said, "Who knew you were so fragile? To be honest, this is the result of me holding back."
Tang Jiu'er was so angry at Chen Lie's remarks that she laughed, and said, "So, I should thank you?"
"No need for that."
Tang Jiu'er was about to retort when Luo Zhixun stopped her, saying, "Forget it, Jiu'er. The difference between the top five and the top ten is just a few points. Anyway, you definitely won't make it into the top three. Let's talk about it after the martial arts competition."
Tang Jiu'er snorted.
She also knew that she definitely couldn't handle Wang Dongting on her own. Luo Zhixun had already stepped halfway into the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, and she was no match for her either, not to mention that she had been defeated by Chen Lie this time.
Putting Chen Lie aside, Xu Yuanhao is also quite strong, and he's a potential Grandmaster. She might not be able to get past him.
At this moment, Li Shumin, a beautiful reporter from the provincial TV station and the host of the martial arts competition, stepped onto the stage.
"Dear viewers at the scene and watching the live broadcast, the top five in the Dongchuan Province Genius Team's martial arts competition have been determined. They are Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Xu Yuanhao, Chen Lie, and Jiang Mingyue."
Next, the martial arts competition will determine the top three, and the list of opponents will be announced in advance.
Wang Dongting vs. Jiang Mingyue, Chen Lie vs. Xu Yuanhao, Luo Zhixun have a bye this round.
"The three-way battle has officially begun."
In the first match, Chen Lie will face Xu Yuanhao. Please invite the two students to the stage for a martial arts contest.
The host left immediately after making the announcement.
Chen Lie and Xu Yuanhao stepped onto the battle stage at the same time.
From below the stage, Wu Qianqian exclaimed excitedly, "Shuangshuang, look! Your cousin is amazing! He actually made it into the top five, and he might even make it into the top three!"
Feng Shuangshuang was shocked. How could Chen Lie suddenly become so powerful?
He's only been a member of the provincial youth prodigy group for a month. Logically, he shouldn't have reached the top level of the provincial youth prodigy group so quickly.
How exactly did his aunt raise him?
In the VIP section, Lu Qingchan saw Chen Lie and Xu Yuanhao on the dueling platform and couldn't help but look at her mother, Xu Yunyan, beside her, saying, "Mom, Chen Lie is facing off against Brother Hao."
Xu Yunyan was also shocked and said, "I didn't expect Chen Lie's martial arts strength to be so high."
I estimate that his martial arts skills were already quite impressive a long time ago, but he just didn't show it. Mom really misjudged him back then.
However, Chen Lie's journey will inevitably end here; he certainly won't be able to get past Yuan Hao.
Lu Qingchan didn't believe Chen Lie was a match for Xu Yuanhao either, but she still asked, "Why?"
"The training Yuan Hao received is beyond Chen Lie's imagination. Just wait and see," Xu Yunyan said.
On the battle stage, Chen Lie and Xu Yuanhao stood facing each other.
Xu Yuanhao looked at Chen Lie with a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect you to be able to defeat Tang Jiu'er."
Your abilities are indeed impressive, but you've come this far.
"Will you go down voluntarily, or should I escort you down?"
"Enough with the nonsense, I'll let you leave now!"
Chen Lie was too lazy to argue with Xu Yuanhao. After the host announced "The martial arts competition begins," he instantly leaped up and his powerful fists rained down on Xu Yuanhao.
Xu Yuanhao immediately felt the power contained in Chen Lie's fist, and his expression instantly became much more serious. He began to retreat while blocking the punch.
"It seems you've also reached the threshold of the Qi and Blood Realm; your strength is in no way weaker than mine."
He keenly sensed that Chen Lie's power had also reached the level of ten thousand jun, which meant that he had definitely completed the skin and flesh refining process and had one foot in the extreme realm.
With this in mind, Xu Yuanhao no longer held back and unleashed a powerful palm strike at Chen Lie.
"boom!"
The sound of fists and palms colliding was like a missile exploding in the air, shocking everyone.
"S-rank martial art, Myriad Flames Opening Hand".
When Xu Yuanhao unleashed his S-level martial arts, which he had mastered to an unparalleled level, a huge heat wave seemed to rise in the air.
A wave of heat, accompanied by immense force, pressed down on Chen Lie.
Chen Lie swayed and forcefully pushed out with his palm, clashing head-on with Xu Yuanhao's S-level martial arts.
"boom!"
A deafening sound echoed throughout the arena, and dozens of large cracks, each over ten meters long, instantly appeared on the ground of the battle platform.
The elite students who were weaker than the contestants below the stage, even those from the genius training camp, all covered their faces and ears, afraid of being affected by the residual power of the battle.
