"Qi Shengjia..."
Just when Zhu Ting was about to announce Qi Shengjia's forfeit and Peng Wanli's victory, he heard a loud voice echoing through the battle hall.
Qi Shengjia shot forward like an arrow. When he neared the arena, he leaped up.
Sparse chatter rang out. At this moment, one-third of the students in the battle hall had already left. They came here because they wanted to watch the battles of those geniuses in the top 50. At most, they would only be ranked in the top 100. There wouldn't be anything worth watching anymore.
"Quickly start!"
Those students who were ranked at the back urged. They hated these people who wasted time the most. If they knew they couldn't do it, they might as well not come out and embarrass themselves.
"I thought Shengjia would forfeit!"
Wang Hao was surprised.
"He must have been encouraged by that Sun Mo and went up the stage in a moment of impulse. He didn't even think about it. How can he win when there is a difference of two cultivation levels?"
Zhou Xu shook his head.
On the stage, Zhu Ting spoke, "Both parties, please greet each other!"
"Peng Wanli, 6th-level of the body-refinement realm. Please guide me!"
Peng Wanli surveyed Qi Shengjia. This brat's mental state didn't seem bad, but it didn't matter. There was a difference of two cultivation levels. He would win for sure.
If students wanted to participate in the examination, they had to report their information to the battle hall when they registered. No matter what, Peng Wanli was an official member. He just had to ask his friends in charge of registration and he would know the situation.
"Qi Shengjia, 5th-level of the body-refinement realm. Please guide me!"
Qi Shengjia assumed a combat stance and remembered Sun Mo's instructions. Once the judge announced the start of the battle, he would immediately attack.
"To think that he is at the 5th-level? No wonder he is so confident! "
Peng Wanli's lips twitched, not minding it. However, Zhou Xu and Wang Hao below the stage were stunned.
"Did I hear it wrongly? Or did Shengjia say it wrongly? 5th-level of the body-refinement realm? If you lie, you will be expelled! "
Wang Hao was worried. He thought that Qi Shengjia was purposely lying to Peng Wanli in order to win.
"How foolish, such a small trick is useless!"
Zhou Xu hated iron for not becoming steel. This must have been taught by Teacher Sun. If not, the honest Qi Shengjia would never do such a thing.
As for Qi Shengjia breaking through to the 5th-level of the body-refinement realm, the two of them wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death. Leaving aside the fact that he had spent half a year to break through to the 4th-level of the body-refinement realm, his aptitude was incomparably lousy, he had only succeeded a few days ago.
"Begin!"
As the sound of Zhu Ting's voice faded, Qi Shengjia lunged out like a hungry wolf. His fists danced as a storm manifested, engulfing Peng Wanli.
"Hmph!"
Peng Wanli didn't dodge or evade, he faced the attack head-on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fist and the palm collided, and Qi waves exploded.
"Teacher Sun is right!"
Qi Shengjia felt agitated in his heart.
"Every young man has his pride, not to mention that your opponent is a level higher than you. He will definitely choose to fight you head-on. When that time comes, attack his right shoulder!"
The moment they fought, Sun Mo's instructions were verified. This caused Qi Shengjia's confidence to soar greatly and he went all out.
"Remember, exchange injury for injury. If you don't retreat, hit his right shoulder."
Qi Shengjia remembered Sun Mo's guidance and gritted his teeth to endure it. Peng Wanli's Eighteen Arhat Palms were truly powerful, and it was very painful when it struck his body. He felt that if it was in the past, he would definitely not be able to endure it. But for some reason, his condition today was so good that it was terrifying. Although it was painful, his endurance had also increased.
"Right, it must be the effect of the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands' massage!"
Qi Shengjia guessed. He was too stupid and forgot that after his cultivation base increased, the toughness of his body would also increase.
"What's going on?"
Peng Wanli frowned. His Eighteen Arhat Palms became more and more hurried. This was clearly a match that he could easily win, so why was it so difficult? His opponent was like a mad dog, not dodging at all and exchanging blows with him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After another round of attacks, Peng Wanli, who had suffered over ten blows on his right shoulder, continuously retreated and widened the distance between them.
Qi Shengjia's chest heaved up and down violently as he panted heavily.
"What a pity!"
Li Ziqi sighed. Qi Shengjia's strength was only at this level. If he could go all out in one go, he would be able to take down Peng Wanli.
Jin Mujie sat behind the mahogany table and was drinking tea while conversing with a few students, guiding them on their shortcomings. After Qi Shengjia went up the stage, her gaze immediately shifted over.
"He actually broke through by one level? Did he eat a peak-grade alchemy pill? No, from what that intern teacher said to that honest student, he shouldn't be a fool and wouldn't do something so meaningless. "
Jin Mujie analyzed. "But if he doesn't eat alchemy pills, how is he going to break through?"
As a 3-star great teacher, her judgment wasn't ordinary. She could naturally see Qi Shengjia's previous state. That definitely wasn't a state where he was on the verge of breaking through. Hence, he was now at the fifth level of the body-refinement realm. That handsome intern teacher must have done something to him.
"My heavens, what the hell?"
Zhou Xu exclaimed in shock. Qi Shengjia actually fought so well against Peng Wanli? Was this a joke? Could it be that Peng Wanli's ranking of 106 was fake?
"Is Peng Wanli having diarrhea today?"
Wang Hao was also puzzled. "Speaking of which, isn't Shengjia's combat strength a little high?"
"Yeah, could he really be at the fifth level of the body-refinement realm?"
Zhou Xu, who was at the fifth level of the body-refinement realm, naturally knew that Qi Shengjia's current standard was about the same as his. No, from his aura, Qi Shengjia might even be stronger than him!
"Could it be that he can win?"
After Wang Hao mumbled, he couldn't help but mock himself. "I'm thinking too much. Peng Wanli isn't a moving target!"
"He can win!"
On the stage, these two words appeared in Qi Shengjia's heart.
The current situation was no different from what Teacher Sun had said.
"He doesn't wish to fight you head-on and will take the initiative to distance himself. At that time, after you erupt with power, you won't be able to catch up. Don't be anxious, quickly adjust your breathing and gather your strength. At the same time, use your words to harass him."
Recalling Sun Mo's instructions, Qi Shengjia spoke.
"Peng Wanli, I've already seen through your flaws."
"Hehe!"
Peng Wanli coldly laughed, feigning disdain. However, his heart was pounding.
"My aptitude is very bad and my family is poor. If I can't enter the battle hall this time around, I will have to quit school and be sold to a landlord's family to be a servant for life. Hence, I will fight to the death."
Qi Shengjia looked straight into Peng Wanli's eyes. His tone was honest and lonely.
Sun Mo covered his face. Qi Shengjia didn't have any talent in acting. Luckily, his situation was similar to Peng Wanli's. Hence, his expression was still on point.
"What do you mean by this? You want me to show mercy? "
Peng Wanli naturally wasn't someone who would consider things for others.
Qi Shengjia didn't know how to reply. However, Teacher Sun had said before that there was no need to care about what the other party said. He just had to repeat his words.
"You are different from me. You are a genius. Even if you lose and come back three months later, you will definitely be able to enter the battle hall."
"Hmph, that's only natural!"
Peng Wanli's expression was arrogant.
"However, if you fight to the death against me head-on, your injuries will leave behind hidden injuries. Even if you recover in the future, you won't be able to return to your peak state."
After speaking, Qi Shengjia rushed out.
Skywolf Hunt. An instant later, over twenty fist shadows shot out.
Shush!
Scattered sounds of booing rang out, accusing Qi Shengjia of using underhanded methods. However, the majority of the students didn't mind it. It was just a verbal attack. As long as he didn't use underhanded methods like hidden weapons, there wouldn't be a problem.
Zhu Ting, who was originally bored to death, seriously surveyed Qi Shengjia after hearing his words. He was a little surprised. "You actually know how to use psychological warfare?" Jin Mujie nodded.
Jin Mujie nodded. As a fighter, attacking the heart was the most important!
"What?"
Peng Wanli retreated again and again. The pain in his right shoulder seemed to have intensified. The doctor who treated him had said that he mustn't use martial arts during this period of time or his recovery would be affected.
However, the battle hall's test couldn't be avoided. Originally, Peng Wanli felt extremely fortunate to have drawn Qi Shengjia as he thought that he had picked up a bargain. Who would have known that this was a hot potato?
Peng Wanli's heart was filled with uncertainty. The pride in his chest made him not want to defend, but the doctor's words were like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He had no choice but to switch from offense to defense.
This time around, Qi Shengjia felt encouraged and his attacks became even fiercer.
"Is he going to win?"
Li Ziqi's hands were tightly clenched together. She had a nervous look on her face.
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo turned and left. There was no longer a need to watch. Peng Wanli's defensive stance was sufficient to show that his heart was already in chaos.
"What should I do? What should I do? "
Peng Wanli's heart was filled with frustration and anxiety. He didn't know what to do.
Risking his injuries to defeat Qi Shengjia, he might end up with hidden injuries and wouldn't be able to reach a higher peak. If he lost a battle now, he could still win it back three months later after his injuries healed.
To a 14-year-old youth, this was a decision that concerned his future. The pressure it brought him was too great.
However, Qi Shengjia's confidence was off the charts because up until now, Sun Mo's instructions were all correct.
"I can win this battle!"
Qi Shengjia stepped out and punched out heavily.
Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon.
ROAR!
Spirit qi gushed forth, transforming into a wolf head that wanted to bite Peng Wanli.
Thud! Thud!
Peng Wanli retreated and executed the Arhat Heart-Shattering Palm, shattering the wolf head. However, to his horror, he discovered that Qi Shengjia had already taken the opportunity to rush in front of him. It was already too late for him to defend.
Bang!
Peng Wanli's right shoulder was punched and he fell off the stage.
"For this battle, Qi Shengjia is the victor!"
Zhu Ting announced.
The entire scene was silent. The gazes of the students were filled with envy, jealousy, and disdain as they landed on Qi Shengjia. However, none of them admitted defeat.
This was because they felt that Qi Shengjia didn't rely on his strength to win. Rather, it was because Peng Wanli was injured and Qi Shengjia encountered him. If it was them, they would be able to win as well.
"My heavens, Shengjia won?"
Wang Hao rubbed his eyes with force. He felt that he must have gone blind.
Zhou Xu fell silent. This battle situation was different from what he had expected.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
