Yanfu: Starting with the Six-Eared Macaque

When Chen Xing arrived at Tianji Peak Square, the scene was already bustling with noise.

The entire arena was decorated in a solemn and dignified manner, with four fighting platforms standing in the center of the square, surrounded by layers of stands, all of which were already packed.

Below the stage, the sect leader, Daoist Qingwei, and Master Heyang were guarding the dueling platform to prevent any accidents.

Disciples from all the peaks gathered here in uniform attire, their colorful robes intertwined, making them particularly eye-catching.

The air was filled with the sounds of discussion, cheers, and encouragement. Everyone's face was filled with anticipation, hoping that the rookies would deliver a spectacular performance.

Holding his competition jade token, Chen Xing quietly waited in the waiting area next to the competition venue.

According to the competition rules, the first round is a physical skills contest. The arena has been surrounded by formations that seal spiritual power. Disciples on stage cannot use their internal spiritual power and can only compete based on their physical strength, close combat skills, and solid foundation.

Chen Xing looked calmly at the disciples who were taking the stage one after another. He had never slacked off in his physical training, and his physical foundation had long been honed to be extremely solid. He was full of confidence in facing this challenge.

"Number 117 vs. Number 118!"

As the referee called, Chen Xing leaped into the air and landed steadily on the fighting platform with a clean and decisive movement.

On the arena paved with black-veined stone, the two stood facing each other.

Chen Xing looked at his burly opponent, whose broad shoulders, thick back, and well-defined arm muscles clearly indicated that he was also a master of body training.

Chen Xing clasped his hands in a fist salute and solemnly announced his name: "Chen Xing, Yuheng Peak."

Lu Jia returned the greeting with clasped hands, his voice booming like a bell, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance: "Lu Jia of Kaiyang Peak."

He sized Chen Xing up and down, and seeing that the other man was not as muscular as himself, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that the two were ready, the disciple who was acting as the referee immediately announced the start of the match.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jia moved.

He clenched his fists into claws, then suddenly exerted force with his calves, causing the stone slabs beneath his feet to tremble slightly. He charged towards Chen Xing like an arrow released from a bow.

Chen Xing shifted his feet slightly, his body nimbly moving to the left, and his right hand reached out, using a grappling technique to precisely grab Lu Jia's wrist.

Lu Jia's attack missed, but he reacted quickly, immediately taking half a step back and forcefully shaking his arm, trying to deflect Chen Xing's grappling hand.

However, Chen Xing had anticipated this. He flipped his wrist and stepped forward, clenching his left fist and attacking Lu Jia's face with a whooshing sound.

Lu Jia hurriedly ducked to dodge, barely avoiding the punch, but a knee suddenly appeared in his eyes, heading straight for his face.

Lu Jia instinctively pressed down with his hands to block Chen Xing's knee strike. A tingling pain shot through his arms, but he managed to avoid being knocked over by the knee.

Chen Xing landed smoothly on his right foot, using the momentum to sink down, and with both hands like axes, he chopped heavily at Lu Jia's shoulder.

Lu Jia had no choice but to raise his hand to block again. The two arms collided, and the powerful force forced Lu Jia back several steps, creating distance between him and Chen Xing.

After this rapid exchange, Lu Jia's initial contempt had vanished, replaced by a sense of seriousness.

Chen Xing looked at Lu Jia, who was slowly pacing around him, and his eyes rippled with black waves.

[A Glimpse of Beauty] Activated!

"Target locked: Lu Jia. This lock can be released at any time."

"Unfortunately, you did not learn about your opponent's weaknesses. If the target is only seen briefly for a long time, it will increase your chances of finding their weaknesses."

"ha!"

Lu Jia took a deep breath, shouted loudly, firmly planted his feet in a horse stance, channeled his strength throughout his body, and attacked Chen Xing with alternating punches. His moves were fierce and powerful, pressing down like a storm.

Chen Xing remained calm and composed, responding to each move with agile movements, skillfully deflecting Lu Jia's penetrating punch.

The strategy of avoiding direct confrontation stirred a sense of irritation in Lu Jia's heart.

After Chen Xing deflected two more punches, Lu Jia leaned back slightly to gather his strength, and then delivered a powerful elbow strike with his right hand, slamming it down on Chen Xing's head.

The immense force prevented Chen Xing from dismantling the attack, so he had no choice but to raise his elbow and collide head-on with Lu Jia.

Bang!

The elbows struck each other with a muffled thud, sending a cloud of fine dust flying around them.

When the first strike failed, Lu Jia followed up with his left hand, delivering another elbow strike.

Chen Xing bent his arm to block, and at the same time raised his left knee, aiming straight for Lu Jia's lower abdomen. The transition between offense and defense was swift and decisive.

Lu Jia slightly turned his body, and with a downward elbow strike of his right hand, he collided with Chen Xing's knee, forcefully knocking it down. At the same time, he seized the opportunity, feinting with his left knee while suddenly raising his right knee to launch a fierce attack, aiming straight for Chen Xing's chest.

Chen Xing reacted extremely quickly, using his elbow to block Lu Jia's right leg, while simultaneously kicking down with his right foot, aiming straight for Lu Jia's shinbone.

Lu Jia hurriedly jumped to dodge, throwing a punch straight at Chen Xing's face. Chen Xing leaned his upper body to the left, barely dodging the punch, then used his waist to generate power, suddenly standing up and delivering a powerful horizontal elbow strike to Lu Jia's head.

Seeing his opponent block with his palm, Chen Xing twisted his wrist, turning his horizontal elbow into a downward pull, and grabbed Lu Jia's collar, pulling him sharply backward.

Lu Jia lost his balance and his back was exposed. Chen Xing took the opportunity to step forward and delivered a powerful downward elbow strike to Lu Jia's back.

Lu Jia was knocked forward by the enormous force and almost fell. He reacted quickly, reaching out to brace himself and flipping his body forward. He then swung his right leg straight at Chen Xing's head in an attempt to retaliate.

Chen Xing quickly raised both hands to firmly block Lu Jia's right leg, while simultaneously sweeping his left foot low across Lu Jia's left leg, attempting to break his balance.

With a somersault, Lu Jia barely dodged the sweeping attack and used the momentum to create distance between himself and Chen Xing.

"Chen Xing is definitely out of luck, we absolutely have to get Lu Jia! Such a promising talent, why bother learning talisman drawing!"

The He Yang Master below the stage was filled with regret, beating his chest and stamping his feet. Seeing the two men with shining eyes, he secretly resolved that he must bring Lu Jia to Tianxuan Peak, or at the very least, recruit him into the enforcement team.

Chen Xing pushed off the ground with both feet, twisted his body, and launched a whip kick with a whistling wind, attacking Lu Jia again.

Lu Jia leaned back like a fully drawn bow, dodging the whip kick, then braced himself with one hand on the ground, brought his legs together, and delivered a low, powerful kick to Chen Xing's chest.

The attack came quickly and suddenly. Chen Xing couldn't dodge in time and was kicked solidly, feeling a dull pain in his chest.

"snort!"

Chen Xing couldn't help but groan, and took several steps back before barely managing to steady himself.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Jia's eyes. He clenched his fist into a claw again and swept a horizontal claw toward Chen Xing's head, wanting to press his advantage.

Chen Xing ducked to avoid it, then immediately reached out with his right hand, precisely grabbing Lu Jia's wrist and capturing him.

The two instantly engaged in a struggle, their arms tightly intertwined, muscles taut, each exerting force to try and subdue the other.

After a brief stalemate, Chen Xing seized an opening in Lu Jia's strength, firmly gripped his left wrist with his right hand, suddenly turned his body backward, and used his waist to deliver a clean and decisive back throw, slamming Lu Jia onto the ground.

Lu Jia pushed off the ground with both legs, barely managing to brace himself with a steel bridge to avoid being slammed to the ground. But he could only watch as Chen Xing raised his left hand and delivered a powerful punch to his chest.

With a painful groan, Lu Jia's face instantly turned ferocious. His energy was dispersed on the spot, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Chen Xing gave his opponent no time to recover, and once again gathered power in his left hand, he slammed down with a heavy punch. Lu Jia's left hand was still firmly controlled by Chen Xing, and he could only hastily raise his right hand to block.

Chen Xing changed his fist into a claw, gripping Lu Jia's right wrist tightly, and then delivered a swift knee strike, slamming it hard into Lu Jia's chin.

With a muffled thud, Lu Jia's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot, his body limp as he collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the referee immediately stepped forward.

First, he took out a healing talisman and quickly patted it on Lu Jia's chest to relieve his injuries.

The referee then turned to face the entire arena and announced loudly, "Chen Xing of Yuheng Peak wins!"

Cheers instantly resounded throughout the stadium.
