All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Some exhibitionists, in this November winter, went shirtless, revealing their muscular bodies, their pectoral muscles twitching, causing the VIPs to gasp in surprise. Many ladies even covered their mouths with their eyes shining and exclaimed in unison, "Hooray!"

The area around both sides of the strait was also bustling with noise and discussions that reached the heavens.

Boss Huang stood on the deck, constantly looking at the pocket watch on his hand. It was already 8:40, but he hadn't seen a single ghost of Chen Zhen.

The Frenchmen behind him were also sweating profusely and shouted at Boss Huang, asking what was going on!

Boss Huang also had his own difficulties. Chen Zhen had promised him that he would definitely appear on the dueling platform before nine o'clock.

Boss Huang had no way to give orders to Chen Zhen; he could only follow instructions!

It was almost nine o'clock, and Chen Zhen was still nowhere to be seen, which made him extremely anxious!

Not only was he anxious, but the French guys behind him were anxious too.

It would be really interesting if Chen Zhen, the main character, didn't show up!

The onlookers on both sides of the strait also raised their heads at this moment, searching for Chen Zhen on the deck!

That is the hope of the Chinese people, and the hope of everyone!

Many ordinary people were firsthand witnesses who saw China gradually weaken from the late Qing Dynasty onwards, and how Shanghai gradually became a semi-colony of Westerners.

Various concessions began to spring up like mushrooms after rain, and there were more and more foreigners on the streets, while the status of Chinese people was getting lower and lower.

It seems that Chinese people are considered inferior from birth, and most of them end up doing low-end jobs. They feel anger and resentment from what they have seen and heard since childhood.

But in the past, they could only suppress this anger in their hearts.

Because Westerners are too powerful!

But in such an environment, a Chinese man suddenly announced that he would challenge a hundred Westerners. Against this backdrop, the emotions that had been stirred up were completely ignited!

Countless people placed their hopes and anger on that young man named Chen Zhen!

Everyone is waiting for Chen Zhen to display his divine power!

Although many people do not believe in their hearts that Chen Zhen can defeat those one hundred Westerners, the expectation and longing from the depths of their souls make them stand on both sides of the strait today, hoping to witness the miracle they have imagined!

Some ordinary people even took out real money to support Chen Zhen, and they also put in three or five cents to bet on Chen Zhen to win at the gambling den.

Although they themselves felt that the hope of winning was slim, it was still a kind of intangible hope.

But now, the time for the martial arts competition is fast approaching.

But Chen Zhen never appeared!

For many people, it felt as if some kind of hope within them had been suddenly shattered!

Mr. Huang was once again angrily shoved a few times by a Frenchman behind him, who sternly questioned him about what was going on.

Mr. Huang was so excited that he was covered in sweat and staggered, feeling a little dizzy.

If Chen Zhen hadn't shown up today, his lifelong reputation would have been completely ruined, and his physical body would probably have been humanely destroyed.

At this moment, he could only close his eyes, letting the sweat pour down his face, and silently praying in his heart, "Chen Zhen, please appear soon!"

Bai Jiaxuan was actually already on the giant ship; he had secretly sneaked onto it last night.

Although Boss Huang had assured him that most of the crew on the tanker had been given leave and gone ashore, Bai Jiaxuan was still a little worried, after all, his life was on the line!

After carefully inspecting the area and confirming that there weren't a hundred or so burly men with machine guns hiding on board, Bai Jiaxuan casually found a cabin and fell fast asleep.

Surprisingly, he slept very soundly in that enclosed and dark environment.

When he woke up, he remembered that he had to compete in martial arts today, so he immediately sat up.

As Bai Jiaxuan climbed into the cabin and pushed open the iron door, he was startled by the sudden, overwhelming cheers!

When he jumped onto the deck, he realized that everyone was already there, as if they were all waiting for him.

When Boss Huang, who was not far away, saw Chen Zhen suddenly emerge from under the cabin, his face lit up with joy and he quickly ran over to him!

The Frenchmen behind him also saw Chen Zhen suddenly appear, and their legs went weak. They breathed a sigh of relief!

Boss Huang ran up to Bai Jiaxuan, his face full of urgency and undisguised joy, and hurriedly called out.

"Oh my! Brother Chen, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I would have jumped into the Huangpu River!"

Bai Jiaxuan laughed heartily and patted Boss Huang on the shoulder.

"Don't rush, you don't need to jump, I'll jump for you!"

Mr. Huang, what's the meaning of this?

Bai Jiaxuan said no more and turned to walk onto the deck!

At this moment, a wide arena for martial arts competitions has been set up on the ship's deck, where a hundred muscular men stand in twos and threes.

Ye Huai'an's appearance immediately drew countless cheers from both sides of the strait. Many people cheered towards the oil tanker, and some even shouted Chen Zhen's name.

Bai Jiaxuan felt this unprecedented enthusiasm and immediately smiled and waved to the audience on both sides of the strait!

Today, he was dressed in a simple Zhongshan suit, and he casually waved to the audience on both sides of the strait as if he were facing not a hundred Westerners, but a bunch of chickens and dogs.

Across from him stood a hundred burly Western men, all looking at Bai Jiaxuan with curious eyes, scrutinizing the young man before them with suspicion.

He had a dark complexion, was about 1.8 meters tall, and had a fairly muscular build, but he was no match for the group of Western muscle men.

That's it?

Almost all the Westerners looked at him with disdain and amusement, as if he were a clown!

In his quest for fame, a clown went so far as to make outrageous statements in the newspaper, wildly declaring that he would challenge a hundred opponents!

Unfortunately, his reckless behavior only led to his immediate death today!

Bai Jiaxuan enjoyed this moment of being the center of attention. Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had traveled through so many worlds, but he rarely appeared in front of the public as a popular idol.

Perhaps only the world of Bailuyuan could give him a sense of indulgence, and that feeling was actually quite nice!

Bai Jiaxuan waved again to the VIP section on the other side of the cruise ship. At a glance, most of the people there were Westerners, men, women, and children!

This so-called "noble" group of people made their fortune through barbaric plunder, and now they dress up and pretend to be civilized people. It's disgusting!

We'll show them what true "civilization" is all about!

What Bai Jiaxuan didn't notice was that in the crowd, a girl's eyes lit up with disbelief the moment she saw him!

The girl was none other than Qi Jiawei, the third young lady of the Qi family. Today, she pestered her eldest brother, Qi Yunfeng, and managed to get a ticket. The two siblings were now standing in the audience.

If Bai Jiaxuan saw Qi Jiawei, he might give an evaluation: "This girl is not bad looking!"

Indeed, Qi Jiawei is lively and active, and has been carefree since childhood. She has a heroic air about her. She is only seventeen years old this year, and in her mind, there is no such thing as national hatred or family feuds. This is why she was with that little Japanese spy that night.

Bai Jiaxuan felt he had put on a good show long enough. The group of muscular men opposite him were already eyeing him menacingly, their necks cracking and their fists rubbing together – quite intimidating!

Bai Jiaxuan smiled and nodded to Boss Huang not far away.

When Boss Huang saw Bai Jiaxuan nod, he felt relieved and quickly picked up the gong that he had prepared and struck it hard!

As soon as the gong sounded, Boss Huang shouted at the top of his lungs!

"The duel officially begins! No time limit, no life or death matters!"

The sound of the gong echoed throughout the oil tanker, reaching the crowds on both banks. Cheers erupted like a wave of heat, and everyone knew that this was the start of the martial arts competition.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the deck of the oil tanker, their faces beaming with excitement. Some curious onlookers, their faces radiant with excitement, provided real-time commentary as they peered out.

Bai Jiaxuan also shook his neck. He had slept soundly. It was time to see his true colors!

There are no rules for this competition. Apart from the prohibition of using weapons, there are no other rules. It's a fight to the death, and life and death are irrelevant. Everything is decided by strength!

Let's start the fight!

Chapter 51: Legend

On the Huangpu River, Bai Jiaxuan stood with his hands behind his back, facing a hundred muscular men, a faint sneer on his lips.

Cheers rose and fell from both sides of the strait. Although Bai Jiaxuan’s height was not particularly noticeable among the group of Westerners, most of the eyes on both sides of the strait were focused on him.

Because of the angle, many people can only see a dashing and upright figure from behind!

Even just seeing his back, his extraordinary heroic bearing is undeniable!

Unlike other Chinese people who can't straighten their backs, he remained fearless even when facing a massive army!

It even carried a hint of sarcasm!

Fearless!

This is Chen Zhen today!

He wants to instill this spirit in all Chinese people!

The Westerners in the front row seemed to be intimidated by Chen Zhen's invisible swagger. Everyone remained standing outside the yellow line, and no one dared to be the first to step forward!

However, this was clearly not the situation that the great powers wanted to see.

During the VIP session, a sharp, angry shout rang out, and those very uncivilized words burst out!

"Shit! Kill him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, five or six muscular men who had been eager to try squeezed out from among the hundred people. All of them had ferocious smiles on their faces, rubbed their fists together, and strode towards Bai Jiaxuan with their pigeon-toed gait!

As the muscular men began their charge, the cheers from the audience on both sides of the strait rose like a tidal wave, and faintly, there were also angry shouts of "Go Chen Zhen!" from the crowd!

Bai Jiaxuan still had a smile on his lips as he watched the group rush towards him, standing there motionless.

He felt an indescribable force slowly gathering within him to its peak, and everything was just right!

Having traversed so many worlds, Bai Jiaxuan had already explored almost all the secrets of the human body. The birth of that mysterious power in the mythological world also gave him a sense of something elusive.

Perhaps at the beginning of humankind, there were not so many shackles in the body. In the Qin Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, the human body was obviously stronger than it is now. There were many generals who could fight a hundred men, and there were even immortal beings like Yi Xiaochuan who were trapped in the cycle of time and space.

As time goes by, it seems that humanity is degenerating.

Perhaps this is not degeneration, but rather a form of evolution.

The powerful physique has gradually been eliminated by human genes, because in nature, humans, as higher animals, have conquered the vast majority of animals and become the king of animals in nature!

Bai Jiaxuan felt the special power within his body. This feeling already existed in the mythical world, where he had studied it for years and conducted countless experiments within his own body, but ultimately still couldn't find the answer.

Never mind, he believed in himself. Sooner or later, he would find that secret, and once he cracked it, he would definitely be able to see a wider world!

Let's start the fight!
