Chapter 83 Zheng Xuan: I'll Avoid Your Edge (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

Zhang Mingde's punch was full of hidden force, and he threw it directly at Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan did not have the slightest thought of dodging. At this moment, all he could think of was Chen Shouyi's miserable appearance, covered in blood, with both legs broken and his tendons severed.

All of this stemmed from his lifelong frustration and despair at being denied the path to martial arts.

Why hide? I'm avoiding your sharp edge.

Thinking it over, Zheng Xuan suddenly threw a punch at Zhang Mingde.

With a loud bang, Zheng Xuan and Zhang Mingde's fists collided violently. The next moment, Zheng Xuan took two steps back, while Zhang Mingde took three steps back before firmly stopping.

In this head-on collision, Zhang Mingde surprisingly did not gain the upper hand.

At this moment, Zhang Mingde felt his right hand trembling incessantly, which was caused by a bone-piercing force. However, his hand quickly regained its balance, and the small wound began to heal.

The effect is a 30% increase in physical strength, plus a small amount of recovery and healing effects.

The reason he awakened this endurance was because when he became a disciple of Song Jin'ao, Song Jin'ao was selecting a suitable candidate. Zhang Mingde and Zhang Mingliang were desperately trying to learn martial arts to change their fate. At that time, Zhang Mingde's biggest goal was to improve his physical strength and make his body feel sore and tired quickly so as not to delay his boxing practice.

It was with this mindset that he entered the realm of Ming Jin, thus awakening his skill of endurance.

At this moment, Zheng Xuan used his penetrating force to injure his arm, but he managed to withstand the damage by forcibly repairing it with his endurance.

He also had a second skill. After he entered the eighth level of the Dark Force sequence, he felt that Song Jin'ao did not give him the second piece of Red Jade Lingzhi so that he could break through. He harbored resentment in his heart. Then Zhang Mingliang contacted the people of the Bagua Sect and persuaded him to betray his sect.

After entering the Bagua Sect, the Gong family gave him a spiritual object, which he used to enter the realm of hidden strength. At that time, he had only one thought in his mind: to become stronger so that even if Song Jin'ao came looking for him in the future, he could fight back with his fists.

He then awakened his second skill: [Violence!]

This skill can instantly increase your strength by 100%!

Zhang Mingde clenched his fist. He hadn't expected that he would lose to Zheng Xuan in terms of strength without resorting to violence.

This is actually quite normal. You should know that in addition to the enhancement of Ming Jin and An Jin, Zheng Xuan also has a permanent 50% increase in physical fitness due to his Merman body.

This boost directly gave Zheng Xuan a state where he could steadily gain an advantage in strength comparable to others of the same level.

At this moment, Zheng Xuan saw Zhang Mingde take a step back with a punch, and without saying a word, he continued to attack, using wide and sweeping moves against Zhang Mingde.

He hated Zhang Mingde to the core. Chen Shouyi, his senior brother, that kind old man, Zhang Mingde could even do such a thing to him. How could he let such a beast go?

Thinking that he would become even more ruthless if he started hitting, he suddenly gave Zhang Mingde a brutal beating.

Zhang Mingde raised his hand to defend, but was momentarily suppressed by Zheng Xuan.

Seeing Zhang Mingde in such a sorry state, Zheng Jin, standing on the stands, gritted his teeth and said, "What is Zhang Mingde doing? How can a martial artist with internal strength be so easily beaten?"

He was extremely anxious.

On the other side, Zheng Daguo clenched his fist, as if he were putting in effort for Zheng Xuan. He was a beastly father, but when his son was fighting with someone else, he still supported Zheng Xuan in his heart.

Seeing this, Zheng Lixia exclaimed excitedly, "That's it! Xiao Xuan, you can do it!"

The little girl standing nearby watched with sparkling eyes, exclaiming, "My cousin is so amazing!"

Meanwhile, in the stands, General Zhao said with a grim expression, "This kid actually hid his skills, and we got tricked by him."

At this moment, Magistrate Sun anxiously said from the side, "Master Gong, is your disciple any good? It would be terrible if he lost."

Before Magistrate Sun could finish speaking, he revealed that he had arranged the order of the martial arts examination. If they lost this round, the blockade against Song Jin'ao would be broken.

Liu Jie listened from the side, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his expression relaxing.

Gong Ping, however, remained remarkably calm, saying, "Don't worry. It may seem that Zhang Mingde is on the defensive right now, but he still has a killer move up his sleeve. In a ring fight, a single move can decide the outcome. Even if someone is in a dominant position in the early stages, they can still be turned around in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Mingde on the arena.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Sun exclaimed, "He still has a trump card up his sleeve? How can he possibly win!"

Zhao Qianzong, who also had a martial arts background, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gong Ping, asking, "Zhang Mingde, what is the skill you awakened at Sequence Eight?"

Gong Pingdao: "Violence!"

Upon hearing this, General Zhao calmed down. A move that could boost his strength by 100% could indeed turn defeat into victory.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu frowned and felt uneasy.

Meanwhile, on the stage, after enduring two blows, Zhang Mingde suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and a murderous aura burst forth.

At this moment, he was ready to unleash his killing move.

Zheng Xuan immediately noticed this and clenched his fists to create distance between himself and his opponent.

Zhang Mingde gritted his teeth and said, "Zheng Xuan, you've angered me. I'll kill you with one punch."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuan's gaze sharpened, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he said, "We don't know who will die yet."

"Alright, alright, let's see who dies then. Here's your next move!"

As Zhang Mingde spoke, he raised his hand and assumed the starting stance of a fierce tiger. Upon seeing this, Song Jin'ao, who was below the stage, changed his expression slightly—he was very familiar with Bajiquan, and this was the starting stance of "fierce tiger climbing the mountain," one of the three major killing moves.

Aww————

Zheng Xuan looked at Zhang Mingde and seemed to feel the surging power emanating from him, like a fierce tiger.

The next moment, Zhang Mingde stomped the ground, using the strongest attacking footwork of Bajiquan, the stomping step, and used the force of the recoil to attack Zheng Xuan. This punch was a killing move.

[A tiger bravely climbs the mountain!]

At the same time, when releasing this move, Zhang Mingde directly added his skill [Violence] to it, instantly increasing the power of this punch by 100%.

If this punch lands on the enemy, it will surely break their bones.

An ordinary martial artist with the strength of Ming Jin would surely die if hit by this punch.

Seeing Zhang Mingde's punch coming, Zheng Xuan was not to be outdone: "Come on then, I'll avoid your attack."

The next moment, he also exerted force by stomping his foot, suddenly raised his hand, and instantly activated [Stacked Force], along with [Bone-Penetrating Force], followed by a roar.

[Standing Cannon]

He then suddenly charged towards Zhang Mingde, the two almost meeting in mid-air, and then together they unleashed this most terrifying punch.

The next moment, the two fists collided directly in mid-air!
