Chapter 207: 0158 Tiger Captures Green Snake (5k)

According to what he knew, there were just over ten at the Tenth Rank among the students of the branch school.

"It doesn’t matter, if it’s not someone like Wang Hongdao, I should be able to fight."

As of now, Lu Chenzhou had still never defeated a Tenth Rank Martial Arts master on his own.

He was especially looking forward to the upcoming match.

On the other side.

The camp of the ordinary class 2.

Xu Qing’s classmates all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xu Qing’s got this for sure. Among those kids in the Talent class, besides Wang Hongdao, probably nobody else is his match... Xu Qing is going to make a name for himself with one battle."

"Defeating someone from the Talent class with an Ordinary class identity, it’s incredibly satisfying."

At this moment, the class teacher of class 2 suddenly reminded them:

"However, you should be careful, Xu Qing. Lu Chenzhou is skilled in both internal and external cultivation. If he has not reached the Ninth Rank, that’s one thing, but once he’s there, he would be very tricky. Looking at his ranking on the potential list, he’s likely entered it, and the outcome of this battle is still uncertain."

Xu Qing looked at the stage and said,

"I’ll do my best."

To be honest, he himself didn’t have much confidence.

He might be Tenth Rank, but Lu Chenzhou was no ordinary person either.

This was the overall champion of the Jiangnan Talent competition, arguably the peak of Low-Class root bone.

The class teacher smiled and said,

"Yes, do your best, it’s no big deal if you lose."

Shi Ruyu and Ji Feiyen felt a bit regretful in their hearts, after all, Xu Qing was from their class, and they also hoped Xu Qing could break into the top 16, but the opponent was their junior brother...

There was no suspense about it.

Xu Qing was very likely to be defeated.

The two women often sought to spar with Lu Chenzhou, and Lu Chenzhou, taking on both at once, managed to defeat them with ease; his strength could not be measured by ordinary standards.

...

At the bow, Xu Qing moved like a green snake swimming through water, stepping over the waves and leaping onto the stage, while at the same time, Lu Chenzhou too skimmed the water like a flying swallow and arrived leisurely.

Both of their movement techniques were obviously top-notch.

In the stage competitions, winning was one aspect, but looking good was also important.

Therefore, the way one entered the stage also had its significances.

The audience below couldn’t help cheering.

Even the sanitation workers couldn’t resist clapping and shouting,

"This young man’s Qinggong seems even more impressive."

On the stage.

Lu Chenzhou clasped his hands together and said,

"Tiger Form, Lu Chenzhou."

Xu Qing returned the salute and said,

"Snake Form, Xu Qing."

Xu Qing sidestepped into a bow stance with his left arm raised like a cobra lifting its head and his right arm laid across his chest; the Martial Arts he practiced was a First-Class Fist Technique known as "Green Snake Skill."

Like Mantis Fist, it was best at tricky moves.

But his strength was far superior to Lan Cai’er’s.

Seeing this, Lu Chenzhou thought to himself with a silent sigh,

"It seems I’ve clashed with tricky hands today."

Chen Jiu once said that tricky hands were relatively restraining against cross-training because they specialized in attacking vulnerable spots, famous for their cunning and tricky moves like strangling the throat, poking eyes, and striking the groin... Before attaining the legendary "Golden Body without Weakness," one had to be extremely careful in combat.

Lu Chenzhou got into position and said,

"Come on!"

Xu Qing approached with Snake Form’s gliding steps, moving erratically, with his body trembling as if sifting chaff, and a faint "hiss hiss hiss" could be heard. That was the sound of tendons and bones vibrating in unison, the internal organs trembling, a sign that the Dark Force had been practiced to the extreme.

Facing this agile fighting style, Lu Chenzhou still responded to every change with unchanging strategy. Although he supplemented with Swallow Form, that was just a third-class set of moves; capturing Xu Qing would be very difficult, and Swallow Form could only be effective if it took him by surprise.

Lu Chenzhou moved with Tai Chi, leisurely circling around.

After Xu Qing roamed around for a while, he suddenly glided forward with a Snake Form’s Crafty Hand breaking through the air, accompanied by a fierce burst of wind, aiming for Lu Chenzhou’s throat. Lu Chenzhou’s Tiger Form left claw was placed in front of his throat, while his right claw, like a spring, shot out with inch-force to lock Xu Qing’s tricky hand. But Xu Qing’s arm trembled and bent like a flexible snake, avoiding the capture.

"Weak Water Hundred Transforming Force."

While Lu Chenzhou softly chanted, he lunged forward with a Charging Punch. Xu Qing slid backward, and then he skimmed sideways to a blind spot in Lu Chenzhou’s field of vision. Leaning forward with one hand as a Snake Tail and the other as a Crafty Hand, he reached for Lu Chenzhou’s throat from behind, the angle treacherous.

Lu Chenzhou dared not let a Tenth Rank master lock onto his throat; even with Hard Qigong, it wouldn’t be favorable. He retreated with the momentum and simultaneously stamped his Shaking Feet on the ground, causing the platform to sway like a solitary boat. This caused Xu Qing’s tricky hand to deviate slightly, and Lu Chenzhou, turning his body to the right, swept his Tiger Tail Leg wrapped in a windy force. Xu Qing didn’t dare to take a hard hit and quickly slid backward to dodge.

In the initial exchange, neither of them gained the upper hand.

After they both stood firm, they circled each other at a moderate pace, observing.

Perhaps noticing that Lu Chenzhou didn’t seem to have the upper hand, Xu Qing gained some confidence, thinking that the people from the Talent class might not be as formidable as imagined. He took the initiative to move in closer, the continual flow of Snake Form Dark Force made his movements even more graceful. He started with a fake move of the Snake Form Crafty Hand, tempting Lu Chenzhou to lash out with a Tiger Form Claw. Xu Qing’s other hand buzzed and vibrated, followed by the explosive release of Dark Force after a sound like a rattlesnake.

Green Snake Shaking Scales!

Lu Chenzhou had never encountered such a Dark Force. In a flash, he felt as though he had been electrified, his right arm numb and sore. He quickly withdrew his arm to get free, but Xu Qing’s Snake Form hand wound around his like a python, seemingly boneless as it constricted Lu Chenzhou’s right arm.

Green Python Constricting a Deer!

Snake Form cultivation required pairing with the Soft Body Skill and Bone Shrinking Technique, hence Snake Form masters’ joints and dexterity, especially in the arms, were far higher than other factions.

"Great! Indeed, each shape has its strengths. I’ve learned something new!"

Despite being at a disadvantage, Lu Chenzhou let out a joyful laugh, which puzzled Xu Qing. Faced with such a deadly attack from himself, how could this guy still laugh.

Seeing that his arm couldn’t break free, Lu Chenzhou simply stopped trying to escape.

"Ha!" With a deep breath, an invisible Qi Line instantly surged through his body like an electric current, passing through the 18 major Acupoints that were already opened, as if conjuring an image of a fierce White Tiger with upturned eyes and a white forehead in his mind.
