Full-Time Martial Saint

The high-speed aircraft weaved through various buildings for several minutes before finally stopping in front of a giant building that appeared to be cast from silver-white metal.

"Dear traveler, you have arrived at your destination. Please take your belongings and disembark as soon as possible."

After regaining his senses, Chen stepped off the aircraft and looked up at the enormous building in front of him, which covered a vast area. He was once again awestruck.

The colossal building in front of me, bearing the five luminous characters "Yan Shen Fighting Arena," was constructed in an unknown manner. There were no gaps or traces of splicing, giving the impression that it was cast as a single piece.

Chen Cong stood in front of the door for a long time before he came to his senses and slowly walked inside.

Inside the fighting arena hall, all sorts of bizarre humanoid beings came and went, creating quite a lively scene.

Chen Cong felt that if it weren't for the restriction that they had to maintain more than 90% of their human characteristics when creating their characters in the virtual world, he wouldn't have dared to imagine what strange things he could see here.

"Welcome, traveler from the distant land, to the Divine Arena. Please tell me what services you require."

Chen Conggang stood there for a moment, and then the space in front of him suddenly flickered, and then a phantom figure slowly appeared.

"I want to participate in combat sports," Chen Cong stated his request.

The illusory figure before me bowed slightly: "Would you like to be matched freely, or would you like to spar with a specific opponent?"

Chen Cong spoke again: "Free matching."

The illusory figure paused slightly. "Okay, we have matched you based on your basic information. Please do not leave."

The estimated matchmaking time is 50 seconds. Once you are matched with an opponent, you will be immediately transported to the fighting space.

50 seconds?

The matching speed is quite fast.

It seems there must be quite a few martial arts students like me who haven't yet reached the next level in this Divine Strike Arena.

As Chen was pondering this, he suddenly felt an irresistible and terrifying suction force descending from above!

The next moment, when his vision returned, he found himself on a square platform about 100 meters in size.

Across the ring, a tall girl with brown skin, wearing a red martial arts uniform, and about the same height as him, was cautiously sizing him up.

"0 games, 0 win rate!?"

"A newbie!?"

"I'm so lucky. If I win this one, I should be able to reach Rookie 3-Star."

Chen Cong noticed that the other person's lip movements and voice were obviously wrong, and guessed that she was probably not from Great Xia, and that her voice was being translated through the virtual world before reaching his ears.

Can you still see your opponent's basic information in the fighting arena?

While wondering about this, Chen Cong stared intently at the other person and suddenly noticed a few lines of text appearing above her head.

Codename: [Karaputi's Sorrow]

Rank: Rookie 2-Star

Number of matches: 29

Record: 20 wins, 9 losses

Win percentage: 68.95%

"Interesting..." Chen thought to himself as he read this.

"Trial participant, prepare. This is a no-weapon combat event. Use any means necessary to kill your opponent and you will be victorious."

A cold voice echoed in the fighting arena, and a huge countdown slowly appeared between the two.

As the countdown reached zero, the girl on the other side, codenamed "Karaputi's Sorrow," suddenly erupted and charged forward!

Judging from her posture, it seems she intends to defeat Chen Cong as quickly as possible and advance to the Rookie 3-Star level.

Facing the rapidly charging opponent, Chen moved his feet slightly outward, raised his arms, left hand in front and right hand behind, turned his body slightly to the side, and stared intently at the opponent's movements!

"Now!"

When the other person rushed within five meters of him, Chen Cong keenly sensed that she was about to attack!

Sure enough!

The tall girl's foot suddenly slammed into the ground, unleashing a terrifying force, and her body leaped high into the air using this rebound force!

Raising his elbows and knees, he intended to use this explosive force to end the fight with his knees and elbows as weapons!

Realizing the other party's intention, Chen pushed off the ground with his left foot, instantly lowered his body, blocked with his left arm, and suddenly stretched out with his right arm!

The moment the left arm blocked the impact of the opponent's knee, the right arm also blocked the elbow that was about to strike, and in the same way, the Lu Jin of Bajiquan was used to grab the connection between the opponent's shoulder and arm.

The tall girl's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately tried to shake off the hand and break free.

But being in mid-air, he had nowhere to grab onto and could only watch helplessly as Chen Cong used the momentum to grab his arm and slam him hard into the ground!

Bang!

Her body made intimate contact with the hard ring, and the tall girl was immediately dizzy from the fall.

However, she has participated in nearly thirty fights with a 68% win rate, accumulating a lot of practical experience.

The moment his body was slammed onto the ring, he quickly used the force to roll away, breaking free from Chen Cong's control and retreating rapidly, trying to create distance.

Chen Cong, having landed a successful blow, did not press his advantage.

Although the two sides had only had a brief encounter, he could already tell that this martial arts student from another country was no match for him at all.

Defeating his opponent was not difficult; the reason he didn't act immediately was simply to verify another hypothesis.

Can the cheat system actually work in the virtual world?

On the other side, the one codenamed "Karaputi's Sorrow" had clearly realized that he had underestimated his opponent after the previous exchange.

The newcomer in front of me with 0 wins and 0 losses is definitely not some easy target.

This also proves that there are absolutely no loopholes in the matchmaking rules of the Divine Arena.

Having abandoned her initial contempt, she became noticeably more cautious and decided to face Chen Cong with her true abilities.

After a brief standoff, Chen took the initiative and the two sides fought back and forth fiercely.

Relying on his minor mastery of boxing, Chen Cong's attacks and defenses flowed smoothly, and he felt almost no pressure.

On the other hand, the opponent seemed to be using a style of boxing similar to Bajiquan, which relied on explosive power to defeat the enemy. Although he had not yet reached the minor mastery level, when he got serious, he was as slippery as an eel.

[Analyzable movement technique "Agile Ape Step" discovered. Currently, analyzable targets remain: 1. Begin analysis?]

[Analyzable fist technique "Explosive Kill Fist" discovered. Currently, there is 1 analyzeable target remaining. Begin analyzing?]

After fighting with his opponent for about half an hour, just as Chen Cong was disappointed and thought that his cheat system would not work in the virtual world, two lines of text suddenly appeared in his mind.

Upon confirming that it wasn't his imagination, Chen was overjoyed, but a sudden hesitation arose within him.

He originally thought that as long as he wanted, his cheat system could infinitely analyze all martial arts techniques, but now it seems that this idea is a bit unrealistic.

At least for now, it seems that his cheat ability can only analyze two martial arts techniques at the same time.

Bajiquan has already taken a spot, so you can only choose one between Lingyuanbu and Baoshaquan.

Actually, choosing between the two analytical targets at hand isn't that difficult.

The "Explosive Kill Fist" and Bajiquan have similar styles, and if he had to choose between the two, he would definitely prefer the "Ape Step" movement technique.

The reason he was still hesitant was mainly because he didn't know when the number of slots for analyzing the cheat codes would increase, or when the two slots that were currently occupied would be released after he chose "Spirit Ape Step".

In addition, he also realized another very thorny problem.

The opponent in front of me, codenamed "Karaputi's Sorrow," was randomly matched in the virtual world. If I choose to analyze "Spirit Ape Step" and don't encounter an opponent who knows this movement technique in the future, relying solely on my own comprehension will seem somewhat useless.

"stop!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

As Chen was struggling with his thoughts, "Karaputi's Sorrow" suddenly stepped back and shouted.

"No... I'm not fighting anymore!"

"You're humiliating me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong slowly withdrew his hand and stood still, looking at her with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?"

"Karaputi's Sorrow" said somewhat angrily, "You're from Great Xia, aren't you? I can tell you're using Great Xia's Bajiquan style of boxing."

Chen Cong nodded.

"Karaputi's Sorrow" continued, "Your boxing skills are clearly at the minor mastery level; you could easily defeat me. Why have you been fighting me for so long?"

"Are you trying to humiliate me?"

"I concede defeat. I'd rather lose double the victory points than let you humiliate me!"

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the other party was about to turn and walk out of the arena, Chen Cong quickly called out, "I didn't mean to humiliate you."

"It's my first time at the Divine Evolution Arena, and I find it quite novel. I'd like to spar with you a little longer."

Upon hearing this, "Karaputi's Sorrow" stopped in his tracks, looking at him with a strange expression.

"Staying in the virtual realm consumes energy; you're wasting it."

Chen did not respond, but instead asked, "I have a question I would like to ask you."

"Will we have a chance to meet opponents like us again in the future?"

Upon hearing this, "Karaputi's Sorrow" visibly broke down. "Homesick Traveler, you've gone too far!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Cong was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized that his words must have caused the other party to misunderstand.

He quickly explained, "You misunderstand, sir. I just noticed that your boxing style is similar to Bajiquan. There's an old saying in the Great Xia Dynasty: 'Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.' If there's a way, we can exchange and learn from each other more in the future."

"Really?" The tall girl's face changed from anger to suspicion as she asked, somewhat disbelieving.

Chen Cong nodded: "Your boxing style still has many shortcomings. More sparring in the future will definitely benefit you."

The tall girl stood quietly in place, thinking for a long time, as if she had figured something out.

"My contact number is 01129998. Give me a message before you come to the virtual world. If I have time, we can spar."

Chen was overjoyed and quickly memorized the other party's contact number. At the same time, he used up his last analysis slot with his cheat code and selected "Spirit Ape Step".

[After sparring with a beginner martial artist who has mastered the Spirit Ape Step, I gained 2 points of progress in understanding the Spirit Ape Step.]

[Current progress of "Ape Step" analysis: 0.1% (Beginner)]

"Let's fight again, you go all out."

Just as two lines of text appeared before Chen's eyes, "Karaputi's Sorrow" suddenly spoke up, "If I admit defeat, I'll lose double the victory points, and your fight will be for nothing; you won't get a single victory point."

Chen Cong suddenly realized that the Divine Battle Arena had such rules.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave." After nodding in agreement, Chen Cong got into position and charged straight at them.
