As they conversed, Fang Hong and Li Chong had already ascended the arena.
"Instructor Fang, please!" Li Chong greeted Fang Hong with a martial artist's greeting.
"I'm an old man after all. You make the first move," Fang Hong said with a smile.
It was not that he was being arrogant or disdainful, but it was the most basic behavior of a senior.
"Then be careful!" Li Chong also knew that this was not the time to be courteous. With a serious expression, he lowered his body slightly and got into a fighting stance.
The entire arena was silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, waiting for the upcoming battle between a dragon and a tiger.
"Ha!"
Li Chong let out a low roar, and his body flew out like a venomous snake. When he was three meters away from Fang Hong, he suddenly leaped up, leaned his body forward, and raised his hand, aiming for Fang Hong's neck with a chop!
His stance was very particular.
Normally, attacking while in the air was not advisable, because it would leave an opening for oneself, making it difficult to change one's position in mid-air.
Li Chong's move was different. Although his body was in the air, his center of gravity was in front of him. He was not staking it all in one throw. While he was testing the opponent, his attack was not weak!
Moreover, at a distance of three meters, it was difficult for the opponent to dodge or find an opening.
"As expected of Brother Chong!"
Below the arena, some martial artists could not help but cheer. Their eyes lit up, exclaiming that they had learned a thing or two.
Li Chong's move was not just a technique, it was more of experience. Many could do it, and such an attack was highly desirable. It could be said that it was the culmination of hundreds of battles.
A hint of approval appeared on Fang Hong's face. However, he dared not compare to Li Chong in terms of battle experience or martial arts foundation. His expression turned serious, and he pushed his hands horizontally, like a seal, easily dispelling Li Chong's attack!
However, Li Chong's punch did not succeed. His feet had already landed on the ground, and he bent his body again. His body shot out like a spring, and another punch shot into the air!
Following that, his body maintained a charging stance. Using the previous attack, his elbows and knees rained down like a torrential storm.
Fang Hong was in a situation where he was taking a beating. His eyes were extremely serious, and he raised his hands to dispel the attacks.
He did not expect Li Chong's attack to be so ferocious, with the momentum of a thunderbolt. A single move was followed by an endless barrage of attacks, leaving his opponent breathless.
That said, Li Chong felt even more astonished. In fact, he felt disbelief.
It looked like he had been attacking, but he had also used eighty percent of his strength. He had wanted to use his advantage to suppress his opponent. In reality, this tactic of his had always been successful. However, not only had it been neutralized by Fang Hong, the strength from his opponent's punches and kicks seemed to carry the weight of a thousand catties. It was not something a normal warrior could compare to. Even his arm was numb.
Li Chong's heart sank slightly. As expected of Instructor Fang, his techniques were seasoned and he was a true martial arts expert.
The people below the stage looked on with bright eyes. They did not expect Li Chong to be so wild, suppressing Instructor Fang.
"As expected of Brother Chong, his attacks are as powerful as ever."
"Instructor Fang is also very powerful to be able to withstand such an attack. If it were me, I would not have been able to withstand it."
As for the elders on the stage, they all nodded slightly as they watched the battles on the stage. They chatted with each other, probably commenting on the battles.
"Amazing!" Lin Ao's blood was boiling as he watched from below the stage. "Brother Ye, what do you think? Who do you think will win? "
"It's just a prelude. Instructor Fang is just feeding Li Chong a few moves," Ye Lingchen said calmly. "This isn't their true strength yet."
Battles naturally needed to be intense. If they were to use big moves right off the bat, the audience below the stage would not be able to watch. Only an exciting battle would make the audience feel better.
"This isn't their true strength yet?" Lin Ao was slightly shocked, finding it hard to believe.
The next moment, Fang Hong, who had been on the defensive all this while, suddenly had a glint in his eyes. He then switched from defense to offense. His attacks were not as fast as Li Chong's, but each move was filled with power!
The roles of the two were switched in an instant.
However, this time, Li Chong did not last long and was defeated. He quickly retreated, putting some distance between them.
He swung his arm, his eyes extremely serious.
The contest of strength caused his arm to go numb, causing his attacks to slow down by half a beat. That was why Fang Hong had the opportunity to take advantage of him. However, that also meant that in that aspect, he was still lacking compared to Fang Hong.
"Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Fang." Li Chong said gratefully to Fang Hong, then paused for a moment before continuing, "However, from now on, please be careful, Instructor Fang!"
With that, he spread his hands out, forming a knife-hand shape. On top of it, a thin layer of mist surged.
"This is … inner force?!"
Lin Ao's eyes were wide open, filled with envy. "That was really just a warm-up."
The other martial artists below the stage were also in an uproar. Gasps of surprise and admiration were endless.
However, without waiting for the gasps of surprise to die down, a similar layer of mist emanated from Fang Hong's fists. It was even more condensed than Li Chong's!
"He's getting serious. The outcome … will be decided soon!" Ye Lingchen said calmly.
As expected, the outcome was determined very quickly!
From that moment onwards, it was Fang Hong who was suppressing Li Chong. Although Li Chong could barely hold on, he was unable to maintain his composure like Fang Hong. Initially, he wanted to find a chance to counterattack, but Fang Hong would not give him that chance. His initially steady attacks suddenly … sped up!
Within the span of three breaths, 11 punches, four kicks, three elbows, and three knees were delivered consecutively!
Caught off guard, Li Chong's defense crumbled in an instant. Following that, Fang Hong's palm landed on his chest!
"Bam!"
Li Chong's body trembled, and he took ten steps back. He only stopped when he reached the edge of the stage, staring at Fang Hong in shock.
The strength of that palm was just right. It looked powerful, but it did not harm a single hair on Li Chong's body. If not for that, even if Li Chong did not die, his ribs would have been broken!
"I've lost." Li Chong bowed to Fang Hong. He was truly convinced.
At the same time, his inflated ego from becoming an Upper-Class Sentinel settled down. They were both Upper-Class Sentinels, but Fang Hong was much stronger than him.
"Your strength is not bad. When you're my age, you'll definitely surpass me." Fang Hong smiled. "I agree to let you become an Upper-Class Sentinel!"
That was the final word!
The next moment, the crowd was in an uproar.
"F * ck me, Instructor Fang is too amazing. It ended so quickly?"
"We still have a long way to go in our martial arts journey. This is what a true expert is like."
"Brother Chong is also amazing. Moreover, he'll be an Upper-Class Sentinel in the future."
"I must learn martial arts well. Only by cultivating Inner Force can I be considered truly amazing!"
…
That move also greatly boosted the enthusiasm of the other martial artists. Their hearts burned with passion, and they became even more determined on the path of martial arts.
However, amidst the crowd's discussion, many of them stole glances at Ye Lingchen, secretly shaking their heads. If that guy lived up to his reputation, he would definitely embarrass himself on stage …
