Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Chapter 95: Chapter 89: Astonished

Each bout lasts six minutes, with a one-minute break between rounds.

But the number of bouts is unlimited.

Unlimited free combat, unless one side concedes or dies, can continue indefinitely.

Theoretically, it could go on until the mountains crumble and the earth meets the sky...

The third round.

The fourth round.

The fifth round.

Unknowingly, the two have already tangled for five rounds.

Anyone can see, whether it’s Guangkun, ranked first in consecutive wins, or King Bai Zhao, neither is falsely reputed.

In these five rounds, both sides have been maximizing the weakening of their opponent while creating a killer opportunity.

Bai Zhao is looking for a flaw.

As long as he can seize this mistake, he can knock Guangkun into a floating state.

Although the opponent’s defense is comparable to a fortress, and their defense power is astonishing, his relentless pressure increases his chances of winning.

...

”Master Su, you can give up, you’ve been holding on long enough, he’s trying to force you into a floating state.”

Flower Bear is trembling in anxiety.

Liao Ji and the others have sweaty palms, particularly excited.

But they are simply thrilled by the tactics, as they don’t know Guangkun or Bai Zhao personally, nor do they know who to support.

But this match is exhilarating.

Gong Ling supports Guangkun just because he looked cool entering the scene.

Liao Ping knows the truth, and he’s so nervous that he’s breathless and almost can’t sit still.

Su Yue begins to tire, fighting cautiously; in terms of stamina, he cannot compare with Bai Zhao.

”If I were in the Stage One phase, I’m not their match.”

Yang Lezhi sighed.

In pure combat, he humbly admits defeat.

Xu Baiyan also nodded.

Though weak in realm, their application of tactics and mastery in combat are truly impressive.

It could be described as invincible in Stage One.

...

”Su Yue... so it was you, kid!”

Once he became interested, Pan Yizheng, the owner of the Admiral’s Order Club, fetched Guangkun’s information.

”No wonder, I felt a sense of familiarity, so it’s you, kid... deeply hidden indeed.

”At all costs, make sure his life is preserved.

”Damn it, what’s he doing here in such a dangerous competition.”

Even now, Pan Yizheng can hardly believe it.

Is the Guangkun before him truly Su Yue, who couldn’t move half a year ago while being pinned down by him?

This progress is astounding.

In Pan Yizheng’s estimate, Su Yue had at most 20 cards, and that was based on an 18-card foundation during the joint exam.

A high Qi Blood value is still secondary since there are many ways to enhance Qi Blood, though expensive and generally inaccessible to ordinary people.

But his combat consciousness is so refined; that’s what’s terrifying.

Combat, after all, requires real, rigorous training.

”General, do you know this Guangkun?”

The admiral was taken aback.

The information shows Guangkun is Su Yue, a senior student in Cengyan City, with nothing else mentioned.

”Prince Qing’s son.”

Pan Yizheng turned and calmly said.

”What... Prince Qing’s son, wasn’t he in the second battlefield?”

The admiral was dumbfounded.

Half a year ago, Prince Qing set foot on the second battlefield; on the first day of his return, he marched single-handedly from a daredevil soldier to the Four-armed Race’s headquarters.

He returned bathed in blood, killed three enemy grandmasters in succession, championing the human race, a tale known in the Wetland.

Prince Qing’s return to the Wetland also shook many high-ranking officials.

Although the Elixir Medicine Company loathes Prince Qing, the second battlefield is essentially a prisoners’ domain, leaving them without comment.

”Deploy two more referees above the fourth rank, whatever it takes, Guangkun cannot be allowed to die.”

Then, the admiral quickly commanded.

If Prince Qing’s son dies here, he would rather not return to the Wetland; he must avoid being killed by Prince Qing.

”General, I heard Prince Qing was captured and reached an agreement with the Elixir Medicine Company back then not to get involved in civilian affairs; he has no money and probably can’t even help his son?”

The admiral asked.

”A tiger father has no dog sons; not everyone needs to rely on their father.

”Many great families may cultivate double-turned bone elephants, but can they compare with Su Yue in combat consciousness? They’re just a group of Qi Blood Martial Artists.

”I, on the other hand, feel it’s good for young people to experience hardships early.

”You don’t need to be too nervous; I believe in Su Yue; escaping won’t be a problem for him.”

Pan Yizheng calmly smiled.

He could see that Su Yue’s tactics are scheming, using various sinister methods from below, never to die for a win.

This kid is very crafty.

”This Bai Zhao wants to trap Su Yue in a floating state so he can’t dodge and then kill him with Soft Sword.

”Using saliva as a Qi Blood carrier to slash out a meter-long Sword Qi is also a good tactic. It’s a pity, also a promising seed for the battlefield.”

Pan Yizheng glanced at Bai Zhao’s background and had already analyzed the crux of this battle.

As a soldier, Pan Yizheng had some regret on behalf of Bai Zhao.

After all, he saw some military aura in Bai Zhao.

But since he didn’t return to the Military Department, he couldn’t interfere; once discharged, he’s a free martial artist.

...

The sixth round.

Su Yue’s body aches, even though Bai Zhao’s killer move hasn’t yet been executed, just the bombardment from Vigorous Fist has injured him badly.

No way around it.

Without a seal, without a seal; Qi Blood intensity cannot surpass the opponent’s.

But Su Yue grits his teeth and continues to endure.

...

The seventh round!

The eighth round!

The ground’s blood stains are accumulating, even staining the faces of the front-row audience.

...

The two have fought for over 50 minutes; whether it’s Guangkun or Bai Zhao, both are showing signs of exhaustion.

The entire audience is silent; everyone knows it’s time for the victory to be decided.

Moreover, it’s highly likely Bai Zhao will win.

”Being able to tangle with me, Bai Zhao, for so long is enough for you to be proud!

”Are those fourth-rank referees here to save you? Seems like you have some background too.

”Pity, you are fated to die today without a doubt!”

Bai Zhao’s eyes are bloodshot!

He’s like a mad dog, growing more insane and brutal.

”Demon, you wreak havoc in the martial world, slaughtering compatriots; how can we righteous sects let you off.”

Su Yue licked his salty lips, feeling a bit too absorbed in the role.

A sense of righteousness fills one with strength.

”Bullshit.”

Whew!

Bai Zhao was infuriated.

You’re the real demon.

With a flicker, his speed doubled compared to before.

”The opportunity... has come.”

Su Yue silently thought to himself.

This move, he could actually dodge.

But he intentionally slowed down by a step.

The Vigorous Fist crashed down, his abdomen felt like it was struck by a hammer, and Su Yue’s body was instantly sent flying.

Of course, Bai Zhao paid a heavy price; he obviously exerted the last of his strength.

Su Yue gritted his teeth, this is exactly the state he wanted.

Swish!

Suddenly, many people in the arena stood up.

Damn.

When fighting Bai Zhao, the most feared moment is being airborne.

You must know, in an airborne state, a person cannot dodge, becomes a living target.

The key point in Guangkun’s fight earlier was also to prevent being struck into an airborne state.

”An unrefined fool, do you really think you’re invincible? Carrying out justice, are you qualified?”

”I’ve been waiting for this chance, you’re already dead.”

Su Yue was kicked over five meters high.

That kick earlier was Bai Zhao’s strongest, hysterical hit.

It even caused him internal injury.

Swish!

Just as Su Yue was about to fall, Bai Zhao stomped hard on the ground, his body soaring high.

”Master Su, surrender quickly!”

Flower Bear couldn’t help but roar furiously, hysterical.

Bai Zhao is about to unleash his trump card.

”Prepare to rescue Guangkun!”

The Admiral frowned, giving a low command.

”Wait!

”No need for the referee, really at the last moment, I’ll personally enter to rescue!”

Pan Yizheng said, face as stern as water.

The outcome is still undecided, Pan Yizheng can wait until the last second to act.

If the referee intervenes, it would interrupt the match prematurely.

Pan Yizheng’s gaze, sharp as lightning, constantly observing Su Yue.

Despite being in an airborne state, yet in Su Yue’s eyes, he saw no fear.

Instead, there was a hint of mockery.

He had a feeling, Su Yue still had a hidden card.

”General, your personal intervention is against the law!”

The Admiral was taken aback.

”Can’t I, investigating a criminal from the Miracle Corps?

”Do I, Pan Yizheng, resemble the law?”

Pan Yizheng asked.

”You do; you’re exactly like the law!”

The Admiral smiled bitterly.

Even the Governor wouldn’t dare provoke this young general, what’s a mere single-grade fighting match?

...

”Guangkun has already lost, surprisingly, single-grade fighting isn’t entirely boring!”

Yang Lezhi slowly exhaled.

Xu Baiyan didn’t speak, she had been watching it as a comedy from the start.

”It’s over, it’s over.”

Liao Ping was restless.

”Su Yue, surrender quickly, there’s still a chance to live!”

Sun Zhiwei and Wang Boyan gritted their teeth.

...

Swish!

High above the arena.

Bai Zhao stuck out his tongue, indeed, a scarlet soft sword had already formed in his mouth.

Like a snake’s tongue, like a blood whip.

In this moment, Bai Zhao looked like a long-tongued monster, horrifying.

The target of the tongue sword pointed directly at Su Yue’s throat.

The move was deadly.

The whole arena was shocked, some people screamed, Bai Zhao was too terrifying, like a demon.

Pan Yizheng’s pupils contracted, Qi and Blood already gathered beneath his feet.

As soon as the tongue sword touches Su Yue’s skin, Pan Yizheng would intervene to save him.

At this moment.

No one noticed, Su Yue’s fist wrap had already scattered in the air.

”Bai Zhao, you forced me into the air, and you yourself, aren’t you also airborne?

”Now you’re seriously injured too, if I land first and hit you once more, you’d die too!”

Just as the soft sword was about to seal a move.

Su Yue’s pupils suddenly flashed with chilling light.

...

Snap!

...

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed through the long sky.

In the silent scene, this crisp sound was especially piercing.

And Su Yue, already falling, somehow performed a step in the void.

His descending body, at an incredible angle, changed direction, then accelerated towards the ground like an arrow.

Just like a diver plunging into water headfirst.

Originally hitting the ground vertically, now with an arc.

At this moment, Bai Zhao’s tongue sword barely sliced the long sky.

Just a hair’s breadth from Su Yue’s neck.

Unfortunately, he ultimately slashed empty air; who’d have thought Guangkun could change direction mid-air.

...

”Withered Step!”

Xu Baiyan, originally uninterested, suddenly stood up in surprise.
