Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Just This?
Give him two moves?
This should be said by Cao Zhen, right?
Yang Qinghua was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh: “Sect Master Liu, your esteemed disciple really knows how to make a statement!”
A Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer letting a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer?
Is it turning the world upside down?
Feng Guchan forced a smile: “Truly a disciple trained by the Sect Master.”
“Simply unique.”
“Impressive, truly impressive!”
Several elders had awkward expressions.
Jiang Fan’s actions indeed puzzled everyone.
Liu Wuchen also looked somewhat embarrassed, giving Jiang Fan a stern look, and said lightly:
“Be serious!”
“This is not a joke!”
As it involved the honor of the Sect Master Peak, Jiang Fan dared to joke around like this.
Cao Zhen shook his sleeves and couldn’t help but laugh: “You’re letting me have two moves?”
Jiang Fan nodded calmly: “Although this is not my usual style.”
“However, considering the vast difference in stakes between both sides.”
“I can make an exception this time.”
According to Jiang Fan’s usual behavior.
In any spar, he would give it his all.
Letting someone have two moves was something that would never happen to him.
But to prevent Cao Zhen from losing too quickly, allowing Yang Qinghua to use unequal stakes as an excuse to refuse to honor the agreement.
He made this decision.
Realizing that Jiang Fan was serious, Cao Zhen suddenly felt a sense of being despised.
His expression grew increasingly fierce: “Winning against me once, and you look down on me?”
“Fine! You want to let me?”
“I’ll let you!”
“Let’s see how many moves you can endure from me!”
Swish——
He stomped on the ground, leaving two black streaks on the granite floor.
Then, leaping out like a spring.
In an instant, he was in front of Jiang Fan.
A palm slapped on his chest.
Jiang Fan didn’t dodge or evade, not even using his Spiritual Power, relying solely on his physique to withstand the blow directly.
This scene made Liu Wuchen anxious and angry: “What are you doing?”
Even a Core Formation First Layer martial artist wouldn’t dare stand still and take a direct hit from a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer martial artist.
What’s more, Jiang Fan had only achieved a physique barely reaching the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.
How could he endure it?
Wen Hongyao was also taken aback, stamping her foot: “This child, what wrong path has he gone down after leaving?”
“Learning nothing but arrogance?”
“If I find out who misled him, I won’t let them off!”
Li Qingfeng’s eyelids twitched.
Both anxious and helpless: “Could it be that achieving first place in the disciple ranking has gone to his head?”
“He wasn’t like this before.”
Feng Guchan sneered.
A look of schadenfreude appeared on his face: “No sense of judgment at all.”
“Do you really think your half-baked body technique can withstand a strike from a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer?”
“Just wait to be struck down like a dead dog!”
A slightly tense Yang Qinghua was now completely relaxed.
His gaze towards Jiang Fan now held a trace of contempt.
“I thought he had some skills.”
“Turns out I overestimated him.”
“If his strength far exceeds Cao Zhen’s, letting two moves would be fine, that would be magnanimous.”
“But being far inferior to Cao Zhen and still letting two moves is just foolish, seeking attention.”
Thinking so.
He smiled and reassured Liu Wuchen, saying: “Sect Master Liu, there’s no need to be angry.”
“Young people, they need to learn from their mistakes.”
“Suffering a bit, learning a lesson, it’s part of growth.”
However.
The next moment, his face froze.
For the scene of Jiang Fan being struck and bleeding did not happen.
On the contrary.
A heavy thud sounded, followed by the sound of several backward steps retreating.
Upon a closer look.
It was Cao Zhen, with a face full of shock, retreating five or six steps.
He shook his palm forcefully, his face showing traces of pain.
For those unaware, it seemed like he had stood still and Jiang Fan hit him.
“Cao Zhen, what happened?” Yang Qinghua asked in bewilderment.
He had been chatting with Liu Wuchen just now and did not notice the scene.
Cao Zhen, with a face as if he’d seen a ghost, said with extreme uncertainty:
“His physique, it seems, is not just at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.”
At the moment he struck Jiang Fan’s chest.
He also thought Jiang Fan would be sent flying and end up in a sorry state.
However, in reality.
This palm strike felt like it landed not on a person.
But on a solid bronze statue!
The recoil force almost shattered his palm!
Furiously angry, Liu Wuchen was stunned, exclaiming: “Jiang Fan, has your physique improved?”
Wen Hongyao, Li Qingfeng, and Zhao Wuji also looked at him with disbelief.
How could this be possible?
Improving one’s physique requires Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Jiang Fan, being alone outside, where could he find such valuable resources?
Thinking of Jiang Fan holding two crystal tokens of ten thousand credits each.
The four came to a sudden realization.
Jiang Fan also encountered an opportunity!
With this in mind, their eyes brightened immensely.
No wonder Jiang Fan dared to accept the challenge, he had some confidence!
The four regained hope in Jiang Fan’s victory.
Feng Guchan’s face twitched, snorted unhappily:
“No wonder he’s so arrogant, his strength has somewhat improved.”
“But, Cao Zhen was being considerate of our Green Cloud Sect just now, not using his full strength.”
“If he went all out, you would already be down!”
Jiang Fan glanced at him.
Brushed off the dust on his chest, and said calmly: “Cao Zhen, use all your strength for the second move.”
“This is your only chance to strike.”
Once he makes his move, Cao Zhen would have no room for any meaningful resistance.
“Arrogant!” Yang Qinghua slammed his palm on the table.
In his eyes was a slight hint of undisguisable panic, he shouted to Cao Zhen: “No need to hold back!”
“Use your strongest strike, ensure victory!”
His previous arrangement was to hold back a bit, not to let the Green Cloud Sect lose too badly.
Now that didn’t matter anymore.
Just saving that box of Dragon Pattern Vine Spiritual Liquid would be good enough.
For his intuition told him, this Jiang Fan, his physique might not just have surpassed the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.
Just now, Cao Zhen’s strike, while not full force, still had around sixty to seventy percent power.
Even a Core Formation First Layer martial artist taking such a hit would suffer minor injuries.
But Jiang Fan showed no signs of being injured.
He was like an Iron Man, completely unscathed.
This made him, who had absolute confidence in the spar, feel a strong sense of unease.
Cao Zhen felt slightly irritable.
The imagined scene where he would easily strike down Jiang Fan and force him to repent beneath his foot did not happen.
Instead, he was forced to go all out.
This completely deviated from his initial expectations.
“Fine! Forcing me to go all out, even if you lose, it will be with honor!”
Cao Zhen roared, veins on his neck bulging, squirming like worms.
Spiritual Power within him surged like a breaking flood, converging into his fists.
With a powerful stride, he charged out.
Ninth Layer of the Foundation Establishment, along with a powerful Earth-level Technique.
His total strength was fully unleashed at this moment!
The Earth-level fist technique, pressed so hard that the air whined.
It was faintly visible, the air around his fists was being rubbed into sparks.
Like two meteors, they violently struck towards Jiang Fan.
“Meteor Fist!”
“Die!!!”
Such a powerful fist technique made Liu Wuchen’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably, he whispered: “Dodge!”
“This strike must not be taken directly!”
Wen Hongyao and Li Qingfeng looked on with deep concern.
This strike, in the Ninth Layer of the Foundation Establishment, was absolutely the strongest.
Even Zhao Wuji couldn’t help but worry, saying: “Jiang Fan knows his limits, he definitely won’t just stand still.”
However.
To the four’s shock.
Jiang Fan still stood with his hands behind his back, body upright.
He didn’t release any Spiritual Power.
Using his flesh and blood to withstand this terrifying blow!
Feng Guchan and Yang Qinghua were secretly ecstatic.
Just like that!
Don’t dodge!
This way, the match could be decided in one strike!
Bang Bang——
Though it seemed long, in reality, from Cao Zhen’s move to striking Jiang Fan, it happened in the blink of an eye.
The two dull sounds meant the fists hit Jiang Fan’s chest accurately.
But.
To everyone’s astonishment.
It wasn’t Jiang Fan who spat blood and flew back, but Cao Zhen who was repelled by the huge recoil force!
“Ah!” Cao Zhen screamed, flying backward and heavily crashing to the ground.
His ten fingers were dripping with blood, white bones clearly visible.
His arms were in a ghastly twisted state.
Both hands were utterly ruined!
On the other hand, Jiang Fan remained calm and composed.
He shook his head slightly and said:
“It seems, there’s no need for me to make a move.”
