Chapter 216: 0161 can also fight whales in Canghai (4k)

In reality, making it into the top thirty of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition was his initial goal, and now that he had secured at least second place, he had already exceeded his expectations.

He looked towards the shore.

His classmates cheered for him, and the teachers looked on with gratified expressions.

This must be one of the meanings of competition.

To fight for oneself, and also for those who harbor hopes.

Half-time break.

Lu Chenzhou made his way to the shore, sporting a large red footprint on his chest. To better combat Wang Hongdao, he had applied some Purple Jade Ointment.

Ji Xuantong said,

"Good job, to be honest, I was really sweating it at the beginning."

There was no doubt about Old Tian’s strength.

Ji Feiyan said,

"I knew my junior brother would win from the start."

Ji Xuantong:

"Give me a break."

Shi Ruyu inquired,

"Junior brother, can you still fight? That kick was pretty brutal."

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said,

"It’s nothing, just a superficial wound."

Li Gui and Hong Fu walked over.

Li Gui reminded,

"Wang Hongdao reached Tenth Rank at 16, and it’s almost two years since. I reckon he has perfected his Whale Flipping Sea Fist. You need to be careful in the next fight. Among the Hundred Forms, Whale Form has unparalleled power, with very distinct strengths and weaknesses, closer to Western Fighting Technique, and it also shares some benefits of Hard Qi Gong. Paired with Wang Hongdao’s Rank 7 Qi-Blood, a casual strike could knock down even a newcomer at Tenth Rank."

His insight was as sharp as Lan Tian’s.

Even Hong Fu, who always favored Lu Chenzhou, smiled and said,

"Give it your all and leave no regrets, just show the spirit of Tiger Form. Safety first, the path of Martial Arts is long, and it’s not about winning or losing a single match."

His words were very tactful.

These experts were very sensitive to the perception of Qi-Blood.

Lu Chenzhou knew that the teachers were giving him a heads-up.

He had an idea in his mind.

"I will be careful."

...

"Teacher, your analysis was spot on."

Wang Hongdao said with a smile upon seeing Old Tian’s defeat.

Lan Tian said gravely,

"This kid’s combat talent is truly terrifying. He’s analyzing and calculating all of his opponent’s fist moves. No wonder he always wins against stronger opponents, not just because of his Hard Qi Gong."

He had also watched Lu Chenzhou’s previous business competition videos.

This kid, he didn’t fight wildly just relying on unmatched Hard Qi Gong.

Wang Hongdao looked towards the distant Lu Chenzhou, suddenly feeling a bit dejected,

"Being surpassed by him was inevitable."

This was a feeling coming from deep within.

Ever since Lu Chenzhou had arrived, he had felt this terrifying pressure.

His position as the top of the branch school wouldn’t last beyond next year.

Lan Tian patted his shoulder and said,

"It’s okay. In Martial Arts, surpassing yourself is what matters... If you obsess too much over comparing with others, you will fall into a lower grade. Constantly comparing, there’s no end to it."

...

After an hour’s rest, it was now twelve noon.

The names appeared on the display screen.

[Lu Chenzhou (Class 1) vs Wang Hongdao (Class 1)]

The top three ranking matches began.

Everyone in the genius class watched with solemn expressions.

Leopard Woman asked,

"Lu or Wang?"

Chen Xiaoyun said,

"Wang Hongdao, I guess, but Chenzhou also has a chance."

Zhou Xingkong and Yao Cheng nodded in agreement.

Xiao He, who had been eliminated early, said,

"Brother Wang is too fierce, but Lu Chenzhou is really a monster... At the beginning of the year, he wasn’t even as good as me, and now he can spar with Brother Wang. He’s already made a name for himself in Dragon City."

On the judges’ seats.

Grandmaster Wu opened his eyes and looked at the two figures rushing to the ring.

"Fighting the Green Snake, subduing the Eagle, bringing down the Golden Leopard, overcoming the Ferocious Horse, and now he’s set to battle the Mighty Whale... With Ninth Rank cultivation, fighting so many peers consecutively, not bad."

The outcome of the fight was no longer important.

Lu Chenzhou’s rise was unstoppable.

...

The final match began.

It was high noon, with the winter sun hanging high and warm. The pinnacle battle between Su City branch school’s finest talents fully ignited! The number of teachers and students watching by the shore increased, and even those who hadn’t been interested in the match had come with their friends, watching the contest with rapt attention.

Fans of Wang Hongdao and Lu Chenzhou cheered their names.

On the stage.

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes glowed like a tiger’s, intensely focusing on Wang Hongdao. He had long awaited this battle. The deep rumbling of a "ferocious tiger" resonated from within him, his muscles and bones quivered, his Qi-Blood surged thunderously, and the aura of the Tiger Form soared to the heavens.

He took a deep breath, his Qi flowing through his body, traveling through acupoints, and drawing in a mysterious power into his limbs. His muscles swelled like balloons, his Golden Film glimmered in the sunlight, bathing in a rich golden light, elevating his aura to the next level, reaching the peak state.

Tiger Spirit Divine Strike·Invite Tiger to Possess!

Against Wang Hongdao, he had to give it his all from the start.

Otherwise, defeat was certain!

Wang Hongdao was in no hurry to make a move.

Upon seeing Lu Chenzhou’s rise in momentum, he smiled and said,

"Let’s begin then, I will also pour out all my strength, sparing nothing."

Lu Chenzhou said,

"Very good!"

"Chenzhou, be careful!"

As the voice fell, Wang Hongdao grinned, his robust legs like those of a whale springing into action, shaking with the audible song of the whale. Ferocious Whale Form Dark Force burst forth explosively, the thunderous force echoed as the platform was instantly submerged underwater, Stone Lake Water seized the opportunity to flood the stage. Wang Hongdao rocketed forward, leaping two zhangs, like a whale breaching the surface, encapsulating vast waves.

His fighting style was vastly different from the traditional Elephant Form Sect’s.

Lu Chenzhou stood at the center of the stage, with Yin Yang Umbrella Spin Force ready to be unleashed. He stuck to a defense that adapts to changes, the steadiest approach against an opponent with superior hard strength. His greatest advantage over Wang Hongdao was his agility. Even the Arhat Golden Body would struggle against Wang Hongdao’s hammer-like fists.
