We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 224 Shen Bailian, a prodigy, is ready for battle!

The moment Shen Bailian's judgmental voice fell.

"Shhhhh!"

All the martial arts students at Bozhou No. 3 Middle School and the teachers in the martial arts hall were stunned as if struck by lightning. Then, they all focused their attention on the boy with his five fingers clenched together, holding a horse-slaying saber.

The Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall is shaped like a bird's nest, with the largest central arena completely empty, allowing all the bright sunlight to shine directly into it.

It was nearly noon, and Shen Bailian was standing in the very center of the arena, the sunlight shining on him, making him appear exceptionally radiant.

However, Shen Bailian, who had already revealed his sharp edge, exuded a chilling aura, and an undisguised fighting spirit, as if he had experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, soared into the sky.

At the same time, Shen Bailian's eyes became even brighter, as if lightning was intertwining within them, and his powerful aura reached a new level. Then, a wind actually rose between the two of them.

"What kind of battles has this kid been through in the past six months? His fighting spirit and murderous aura have become so intense in just a moment!" Even the hidden Kong Chaowu couldn't help but take a look and sigh.

As someone who had been through it all, he naturally understood the meaning behind that aura. It was the result of participating in at least several medium-sized beast hordes and slaying tens of thousands of beasts to condense such a dense aura of malevolence.

Based on this aura alone, many martial artists in the early and middle stages of the Sea Opening Realm, and even those in the late stage of the Sea Opening Realm, are far inferior to him.

The changes on the arena made all the martial arts students near the arena realize that Shen Bailian was not joking. After feeling the invisible pressure on their shoulders, they all staggered backward.

Although that fighting spirit wasn't directed at them, it was merely a ripple of its aftermath, and even that was something a martial arts apprentice couldn't withstand.

"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous! This is outrageous beyond belief!"

"This isn't three years, or two years, but only half a year has passed. Has Old Shen become this powerful?" Wei Peng, Gao Lei, and Huang Xu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Ye Tianxing's previous crushing defeat was already enough to shock the three of them, but they never expected that a Transcendent Realm martial artist would dare to draw his sword against a Sea Opening Realm martial artist.

Moreover, he was not an ordinary martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm.

Could it be that in just half a year, Shen Bailian has grown from a martial arts apprentice to someone with combat abilities comparable to a martial artist in the early stages of the Sea Opening Realm?

More and more martial arts students and teachers were in an uproar because they discovered that Shen Bailian had never put down the horse-slaying saber in his hand, and the cold blade was becoming increasingly gleaming, which did not seem like a joke at all.

Who gave him the courage?
How dare he draw his sword and provoke a martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm in such a public place, especially a teacher from Chang'an University, a top-tier martial arts university!

Is it Kong Chaowu?
Yes!

"Perhaps Senior Brother Shen wants to take advantage of Kong Chaowu's presence to test the strength of martial artists in the Opening Sea Realm. Even the teachers of top-tier martial arts universities are not very strong; they are mostly in the early stage of the Opening Sea Realm. Martial artists in the middle stage of the Opening Sea Realm can be small leaders."

"Now that you mention it, it does make sense."

"Nonsense!" someone retorted. "With Senior Brother Shen's talent, if he really wanted a suitable martial artist at the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm as a sparring partner, do you think the school leaders of Tiangang Academy are just sitting around doing nothing?"

"It's probably because those people didn't dare to really go for it, but that middle-aged man is different. He's probably already furious and doesn't care about holding back anymore."

"..."

Below the arena, a group of martial arts students who were some distance away began to whisper among themselves. They were all very curious as to why Shen Bailian was provoking the middle-aged man in this way.

"Solve it using martial arts methods?"

"Hahahaha..." Upon hearing Shen Bailian's words, the middle-aged man clutched his chest, enduring the excruciating pain, and laughed wildly. After a moment, he arrogantly said:
"This is the biggest joke I've heard all year. You don't actually think that defeating an ordinary peak Transcendent Realm martial arts prodigy gives you the ability to face a Sea Opening Realm martial artist, do you?"

"I'll give you one more chance out of respect for Kong Chaowu. Take back what you said, and I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"What? Are you scared?" Shen Bailian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking sneer: "When it was your turn to uphold justice, you didn't stand up. But when it's not your turn to uphold justice, you jump up here like a little puppy."

"If you're scared, then get off right now!"

As he finished speaking, Shen Bailian's tone became increasingly firm and unyielding, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'you'? If you don't dare to fight, then get out of here." Shen Bailian's eyes were cold. Although he had always been kind to others, it didn't mean he was a pushover.

The middle-aged man's high-sounding behavior today really touched a nerve.

Since the middle-aged man thought he could easily get away with it with just a few words, he wouldn't let him have his way today.

Of course, more importantly, Shen Bailian wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to fully demonstrate his talent.

To put it bluntly, he didn't want to keep enduring it any longer.

After acquiring the divine skill "Close to You, Yet Far Apart," and combining it with the divine skill "Following in My Shadow," Shen Bailian gained the confidence and ability to overturn the table at any moment.

Unless a god appears in the world, no one, including those powerful beings at the Divine Palace Realm, will be able to restrict his personal freedom.

and.

Character Level: LV9 (2901/3000)

Physical Strength: 20.8; Spirit: 21.3

【…】

Shen Bailian's character level experience points have reached an astonishing 2901 points, and he only needs 99 more experience points to level up.

And real-world practice is the best way to gain experience.

Shen Bailian is now only two steps away from the Sea Opening Realm. He is invincible within the Mortal Transformation Realm and is not afraid of even a martial artist in the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm.

Moreover, the middle-aged man had also suffered a heavy blow from Kong Chaowu, sustaining serious injuries. His combat strength, if not halved, would at least be reduced by two or three tenths.

Simply put, Shen Bailian is not without hope of winning.

However, this result was within Shen Bailian's own expectations. Other martial arts students, even his most ardent fans, still held a negative view of whether Shen Bailian could win.

The difference between the two is simply too great.

One is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

How to fight? How to fight? These are all questions.

However, to the astonishment of everyone present, Shen Bailian revealed his sharpness like a sword drawn from its sheath, his fighting spirit not only showing no signs of abating but becoming even more intense.

Furthermore, his forehead was shiny, as if a ball of light was radiating from it, and at the same time, his eyes emitted astonishing beams of light.

"Good, good... such strong mental power. The quantity and quality of this mental power are probably not far from the second-tier Spirit Stream Realm."

Both the middle-aged man and Kong Chaowu had this thought after sensing the surging, extremely threatening spiritual power. The middle-aged man, in particular, felt it even more intensely because his spiritual power had only barely stabilized at the early stage of the second tier half a year ago with the help of a top-grade natural treasure, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

"Looks like we've really gotten ourselves into trouble today. It's all that brat Ye Tianxing's fault, damn it!" The middle-aged man looked at the unusually determined young man and suddenly felt that this matter was extremely troublesome. He wished he could slap Ye Tianxing, who had already fallen into a coma, awake.

Although he was a teacher at a top-tier martial arts university, he was no match for the Tiangang Academy, one of the six major martial arts academies.

Now, faced with Shen Bailian's provocations and aggressive attitude, whether the middle-aged man should respond or not has become an unsolvable problem.

If he accepted the offer, the middle-aged man would not dare to hold back against a martial arts prodigy who could easily defeat a peak Transcendent Realm martial artist. If he seriously injured Shen Bailian, he would face numerous difficulties.

Even if the leaders of Tiangang Academy don't cause him any trouble, the leaders within Chang'an Martial Arts University will definitely make him come to apologize.

Moreover, after sensing Shen Bailian's unusual mental pressure, a bad feeling suddenly arose in the middle-aged man's mind.

If they don't accept, where will the middle-aged man, a powerful expert at the Sea Opening Realm, put his face? Where will the face of Chang'an Martial Arts University be?
Once this news gets out, Chang'an Martial Arts University will inevitably top the trending searches. And since it's currently the first round of enrollment season with pre-selected spots, it will definitely have a negative impact on Chang'an Martial Arts University's admissions.

"If you want to fight, it's not impossible." The middle-aged man suppressed his shame, glared at Kong Chaowu who was watching the show not far away, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said slowly with a righteous and awe-inspiring air, as if he were doing it for his own good:

"Consider this a demonstration of your skills, young friend. However, swords and blades have no eyes, and one careless move could result in injury or death. Therefore, I suggest that the two of us have a simple contest of fist and foot techniques today."

"That's enough, young friend, what do you think?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you." Shen Bailian's expression was calm. With a slight thought, he instantly retrieved the Dragon Slayer back into his storage ring, and then bent his legs slightly.

"boom!"

The boy's figure vanished from the arena in an instant, soaring into the sky amidst a roar, and arriving above the Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall in the blink of an eye.

A shadowy glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he immediately followed. Now that he had decided to take action, he had to win!
With a single step, he soared into the air, like a snake-dragon transforming into a dragon, riding the clouds and mist, and charged towards Shen Bailian.

"Huh? Weren't those two supposed to be dueling?" A martial arts student asked, puzzled, as the two disappeared from the arena. "Why did they both leave?"

"Are you stupid! How many square meters is the largest arena here? It's already a struggle to accommodate two martial artists at the Foundation Establishment Realm to fight in such a tiny space, let alone two martial artists whose combat strength is above the peak of the Transcendent Realm."

"What are you still saying here? Why don't you hurry up and go see the show? If you come any later, all the best spots will be taken."

When the group turned around, they were surprised to find that the large group of martial arts students from Bozhou No. 3 Middle School were now hurriedly and orderly lining up, rushing out of the martial arts hall.

Some of the more powerful martial arts apprentices excitedly jumped out of the open windows above.

Watching the drama unfold is human nature.

What's more, a martial arts prodigy who has only been in martial arts university for one semester and whose combat strength is at least at the peak of the Transcendent Realm is fighting against a teacher from a first-class martial arts university.

This scene has never occurred before, and it is unlikely to happen again.

None of the martial arts students expected that a small martial arts academic exchange event would have such a dramatic and unpredictable turn of events, ultimately escalating into a battle between a Transcendent Realm martial artist and a Sea Opening Realm martial artist.

"Breathe~breathe~breathe~"

"Finally... finally saved." Ye Huang looked at the middle-aged man who had completely disappeared, and Shen Bailian, who had terrified him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

That boy—no, more accurately, the strongman—exposed such immense physical and psychological pressure that he dared not even breathe.

They're ridiculously strong; it's not the kind of skill you'd expect for someone their age.

When Ye Huang was seventeen, his physical fitness level was only 6.6, while Shen Bailian's was at least 20.0, or even higher.

This is the difference between heaven and earth.

However, in that very moment when Ye Huang was careless and negligent...

"when!!!"

An invisible and intangible light, barely perceptible to the naked eye, suddenly struck Ye Huang's mind, causing it to vibrate violently as if struck by a great bell.

"Ah~~~"

Ye Huang immediately put on the Pain Mask, clutched his head tightly with both hands, and with a thud, his knees buckled as he crashed onto the arena, howling in agony.

He then began rolling around on the ground in an attempt to alleviate the excruciating pain in his head, but to no avail.

finally.

Ye Huang's head lolled to the side, his eyes rolled back, and amidst the intense pain, he rolled his eyes like a dead fish, falling into a complete coma.

……

Above the Sky Dojo.

“You…” The perception of a martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm is extremely powerful. After noticing Ye Huang’s pained expression below, the middle-aged man’s expression immediately changed, and he glared angrily at the indifferent-looking youth.

There are only so many people here, and besides that boy, there can't be anyone else whose mental energy can reach such a far distance and be so powerful.

"What? I only gave him the punishment he deserved. If you're not satisfied, then come and defeat me!" Shen Bailian gave a faint, cold laugh.

"It seems he has a powerful trump card up his sleeve and is no longer willing to endure it?" Kong Chaowu frowned slightly upon seeing the boy's performance.

From the very beginning, he suspected that Shen Bailian had a secret.

Then there's Shen Bailian's outstanding performance at Tiangang Academy, the pinnacle battle of the Golden Cup League, and the attitude of the school leaders of Tiangang Academy...

Kong Chaowu began to understand that Shen Bailian had a great secret, which was probably not just a simple battle body, and could not be just a martial arts prodigy.

"it is good!"

"You did very well!"

"I want to see who gave you, a first-year martial arts student, the courage to dare to challenge a martial artist at the Sea Opening Realm!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was completely enraged.

His internal organs resonated rapidly, and the liquefied primal force in his dantian surged forth like a tide, condensing into the primal force battle armor on his body.

"boom!"

In a mere instant, the middle-aged man's speed surpassed Mach 1.5, soaring like a dragon into the sky as he charged straight at the boy, determined to kill him with a single blow!
"Dragon and snake rise from the land!" Kong Chaowu exclaimed. He never expected that the middle-aged man would disregard his reputation and make a sudden and ruthless move, and even use a deadly technique.

They immediately stopped blinking, carefully observing Shen Bailian, ready to intervene at any moment.

Bosses who haven't joined the group yet can join now. The link has been added, and the spoils will be distributed (lottery) starting tomorrow.
