A Hard Slap in the Face!
Obliterate Heavenly Alliance.
On the platform of the martial arts competition arena.
After the initial exchange of blows, Ye Chenfeng and Shen Mingxuan stood facing each other.
Both of their eyes were filled with a serious expression, especially Shen Mingxuan, whose emotions were very complex.
Being a Venerable Level Initial Stage expert, he believed he should be able to easily defeat Ye Chenfeng, who was only at the Sect Level Initial Stage.
However, Shen Mingxuan no longer felt that way.
His instincts told him that Ye Chenfeng was very strong, extremely strong.
This might be a very difficult battle for him.
Although he might not be able to defeat Ye Chenfeng easily, Shen Mingxuan did not think he would be defeated, since his strength and speed were both somewhat superior to Ye Chenfeng’s.
Standing below the platform were Lin Xinyi, Xiao Liyuan, and Cheng Dahhu.
Cheng Dahhu, whose physique resembled a human tank and was known for his formidable physical strength, understood the intricacies of combat.
After seeing Ye Chenfeng block Shen Mingxuan’s hand strike without his right hand being incapacitated, Cheng immediately assessed that Ye Chenfeng’s physical strength might not be inferior to his own.
With a naive look and a grin on his face, Cheng Dahhu said in a low voice, “After Mingxuan and Ye Chenfeng finish their match, I want to compete with Ye Chenfeng in physical strength.
I think his physical strength should be quite similar to mine, and it’s been a long time since I encountered someone who cultivated their body to such strength.”
Standing next to Cheng Dahhu, Lin Xinyi and Xiao Liyuan were shocked by his words.
They knew very well how formidable Cheng Dahhu’s physical strength was.
How could Ye Chenfeng’s seemingly unimpressive body possess such powerful strength?
Even the usually cold and noble Lin Xinyi changed her icy tone and asked, “Dahhu, are you sure you saw it right?
How could Ye Chenfeng’s physical strength possibly be as strong as yours?”
Cheng Dahhu smiled naively and replied, “After I test him later, won’t the answer become clear?
He just shouldn’t get injured in his fight with Mingxuan.”
…
While Lin Xinyi and Cheng Dahhu were talking, the battle on the platform resumed.
This time, Shen Mingxuan took the initiative to attack.
He pushed his Venerable Level Initial Stage Soul Force to its limits, continuously stepping until a trail of afterimages were left in the air as he instantly closed in on Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng chose not to dodge; moreover, he couldn’t dodge.
He simply kept raising his Sect Level Initial Stage Soul Force, continuously elevating it.
When Shen Mingxuan appeared in front of him, he threw a punch heedlessly, as if he wanted to split the air itself.
As a Venerable Level Initial Stage expert, Shen Mingxuan wouldn’t avoid Ye Chenfeng’s attack.
Naturally, he chose to fight Ye Chenfeng head-on.
Watching Ye Chenfeng’s mightily thundering fist, Shen Mingxuan shrugged his shoulders and his right fist flew out like a cannonball, colliding with Ye Chenfeng’s fist.
With a dull “bang!” resonating through the air, Shen Mingxuan’s footsteps didn’t move at all, while Ye Chenfeng’s feet were pushed back four steps.
Shen Mingxuan, of course, wouldn’t pass up this chance to pursue his advantage.
He unleashed an endless series of tricky and powerful moves, while Ye Chenfeng could only barely defend.
Before long, Ye Chenfeng appeared quite disheveled on the platform.
Yet, inside, Ye Chenfeng grew more and more elated as he continuously raised his Soul Force to its peak and then released it all in repetition.
He felt he was touching the barrier to a breakthrough and would probably be able to enter the Sect Level Middle Stage very soon.
Dominating the surface, Shen Mingxuan also found himself inwardly groaning.
After the exchange of blows with Ye Chenfeng time and time again, he fully felt the dreadfulness of Ye Chenfeng’s physical strength.
However, the disparity in their capabilities was clear.
Shen Mingxuan knew that although Ye Chenfeng’s physical strength might be far superior, he would not lose this match, definitely not.
Various thoughts quickly passed through his mind, and Shen Mingxuan’s attack intensity increased once again.
He prepared to completely overwhelm Ye Chenfeng in one go.
On one side, Xu Ziqi’s cheek was swollen immensely.
Watching Ye Chenfeng being pushed back successively on the platform, his smirk grew even brighter as he disdainfully said, “This kid is just an overreacher.
By now, he should realize he’s no match for Mingxuan.
I really feel sad for people who will never advance in their strength in their lifetimes.”
On the other side, Shen Jingwu and Lin Kangsheng watched the match on the platform and nodded secretly to themselves.
Shen Jingwu mentioned, “Ye Chenfeng managing to hold on till now is already quite commendable.
It seems his physical strength is also very impressive.”
Lin Kangsheng nodded and added, “It’s just that Ye Chenfeng’s potential is too lacking.
I guess he might never make a breakthrough in his lifetime.
Otherwise, I think his future accomplishments could surpass both of ours.”
…
On the stage.
Shen Mingxuan had already pressured Ye Chenfeng to the edge of the stage, and his body was once again focusing Soul Force.
He knew that after this move, Ye Chenfeng would likely be blasted off the stage.
While standing at the edge of the stage, Ye Chenfeng suddenly felt the Soul Force within him surge violently, like a flood and fierce beast crashing against the barrier blocking his strength.
The barrier had already begun to show dense cracks.
Seeing Shen Mingxuan launch another attack, Ye Chenfeng’s lips curved into a smile.
Lin Xinyi spoke from below the stage, “Alright, this match should end now.” With Ye Chenfeng’s Initial Stage Venerable Level strength to be able to battle to this extent against Shen Mingxuan, who was at Initial Stage Venerable Level, she had already started to see Ye Chenfeng in a new light.
“Kang Sheng, I still can’t see why Ye Chenfeng wanted to spar with Mingxuan.
Have you figured anything out?” Shen Jingwu asked.
Lin Kangsheng shook his head, about to answer when his expression suddenly changed drastically and he said with a trembling voice, “Jing Wu, the fluctuation of Soul Force inside Ye Chenfeng’s body is not normal.
Could it be, could it be that he is using the fight with Mingxuan to break through?”
“How is that possible?
Ye Chenfeng’s potential value is so poor.
He should never be able to break through in his lifetime.” Shen Jingwu also felt the violent fluctuations of Soul Force inside Ye Chenfeng.
Among the others present, except for Fang Zhihua who was at the Middle Stage of Saint Level, the rest had not noticed the change in Soul Force within Ye Chenfeng, including Shen Mingxuan who was launching the final blow.
Xu Ziqi, seeing that Ye Chenfeng was about to be blasted off the stage by Shen Mingxuan, began to mock again, “Kid, you can roll off the stage now, you idiot, you piece of trash.” He had just been slapped and sent flying by Ye Chenfeng, which twisted his mood somewhat, and he ranted and raved uncontrollably as if he was the one blasting Ye Chenfeng off the stage.
Standing at the edge of the stage, Ye Chenfeng watched Shen Mingxuan’s fist grow larger in his eyes, and he uttered a deep cry.
All the Soul Force in his body rushed again toward the barrier blocking his strength enhancement, shattering the barrier violently.
His strength instantly leapt from the Initial Stage to the Middle Stage of Venerable Level.
At that moment, Ye Chenfeng’s fist also made contact with Shen Mingxuan’s fist.
Ye Chenfeng’s momentum and power soared continuously.
His power had now matched Shen Mingxuan at the Initial Stage of Venerable Level.
Having just broken through, Ye Chenfeng’s overflowing energy found the perfect outlet, making Shen Mingxuan his release point.
“Boom!”
Ye Chenfeng did not fall off the stage but instead made Shen Mingxuan retreat five or six steps.
Shen’s face showed surprise and disbelief as he stared intently at Ye Chenfeng, then after a moment, he asked, “Your strength, it broke through?”
Ye Chenfeng gave a slight smile and said, “Just now, I was somewhat offensive.
Actually, I felt my strength was about to break through, so I needed to battle a powerful opponent to break the barrier, which is why I forced you onto the stage.
Please forgive me for that.”
The members of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance below the stage, instead of seeing Ye Chenfeng being blasted off, witnessed his sudden breakthrough in strength that sent Shen Mingxuan reeling back.
They were so shocked that they didn’t know what to say.
Wasn’t it said that Ye Chenfeng had very poor potential?
Wasn’t it said that Ye Chenfeng could never break through in his lifetime?
How come Ye Chenfeng’s sparring unexpectedly resulted in a mysterious breakthrough in strength?
Xu Ziqi was completely dumbfounded.
He had mocked Ye Chenfeng’s strength repeatedly, saying it could never progress, but Ye Chenfeng openly broke through in front of so many people, undoubtedly delivering a harsh slap to his face, as if making his face “smack” loudly.
