Chapter 766 - 764: A Graceful Defeat
Because he has no rank, it is a fixed damage technique without any levels.
The Thunderous Eight Trigrams Palm is divided into eight forms in total, and learning each form is a qualitative leap, a major transformation. Although the first form is not very powerful, it is, after all, a family-inherited martial technique, which is quite impressive.
At this moment, Shi Kekuang slowly walked over, preparing to continue fighting, and Yang Xinru also returned to her pretty warrior appearance. The whole venue quieted down again.
They knew that this was the most critical moment of the match.
Shi Kekuang slowly bent into a half-squat, then retracted his fists back, resembling a missile about to launch. Yang Xinru didn’t delay, knowing that this was her final battle with Shi Kekuang.
So, Yang Xinru steadied her stance, began to execute the Yang Family Technique, and then unleashed her martial technique, the first form of the Thunderous Eight Trigrams Palm.
This first form is very simple, much like Chen Tianlong’s first form of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist, not difficult at all, just a simple rubbing back and forth of the palms while chanting her accompanying martial arts technique.
"Bone-Shattering Tyrant Fist."
Shi Kekuang softly called out, and at the same time, the veins on his right arm bulged. Although the surrounding Powerful Qi wave was invisible to the naked eye, Chen Tianlong and others could feel the air around them crystallizing, as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushed frantically into both of their bodies.
Clearly, both of them were in peak condition. Although Shi Kekuang took the offensive, Yang Xinru launched her first form of the Thunderous Eight Trigrams Palm.
"Boom....."
Their ultimate moves collided, though their strengths were about the same, and their attack power was similar. However, Yang Xinru’s defense was relatively low while Shi Kekuang’s defense was formidable, with immense power.
Therefore, in this confrontation, both of them were knocked backward.
Yang Xinru, being naturally frail, was propelled outside the ring’s boundary line. Seeing the situation, Chen Tianlong immediately dashed over and caught Yang Xinru in his arms before she hit the ground, spinning twice in a princess hold before coming to a stop.
At this moment, Yang Xinru thought she had fallen to the ground, but upon opening her eyes, she discovered Chen Tianlong gazing at her nervously and worriedly, feeling a surge of emotion.
Everything was conveyed without words.
"Wow... Handsome guy saves the beauty!"
Instantly, the students below the stage started to get excited again. Although Yang Xinru lost, she lost beautifully, without suffering any harm, just being pushed back by the opponent’s force.
Shi Kekuang, on the other hand, was knocked back to the edge of the ring’s boundary line. With a powerful slap on the ground, he leveraged the reaction force to stand up directly.
"This... the Muay Thai expert Shi Kekuang wins!" Zhang Jie said somewhat reluctantly, feeling a bit lost after just winning once and now losing again.
However, the leaders below were very optimistic. After all, a young woman stood up bravely to regain a bit of national dignity and even defeated a ringmaster earlier. There was nothing to regret about losing now, instead, everyone cast approving glances.
Shi Kekuang could sense the referee’s implication, getting furious inside. What’s with this, are they unable to accept me winning against this woman?
But thinking about it, Yang Xinru hardly took any damage from start to finish and managed to escape easily; she truly was fortunate.
Originally, Shi Kekuang planned to give Yang Xinru a heavy blow, to retaliate for her hurting Xin, but now she got away easily, leaving him somewhat frustrated.
Outside the ring, Jackie slapped his thigh, expressing his disappointment.
Meanwhile, Zhenzi, seeing the situation, furrowed his eyebrows. Watching Yang Xinru’s move earlier, he was stunned, almost mistaking it for the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist.
But in the end, he realized it wasn’t the case, as Yang Xinru used another martial technique.
Zhenzi shook his head; only two people were left, one being Chen Tianlong, the other Zhao Lei. The rest looked like they just entered, were likely too scared to step up.
What frustrated Zhenzi was that suddenly Chen Tianlong’s strength reached Yellow Dao Six Star rank, what was happening?
Wasn’t he just Four Star the other day at the seafood hotel? Does this kid have a secret upgrading method?
Thinking of this, Zhenzi began to reassess Chen Tianlong slowly, feeling a peculiar vibe. He always felt, among this group, Chen Tianlong might be the most formidable character, his delay in taking on a challenge certainly had some scheme.
Even though the person beside him seemingly had strong power, Zhenzi couldn’t gauge his full strength either, imagining it might very well exceed Six Star.
Zhenzi’s observant nature proved useful again, discerning Zhao Lei’s strength in just a glance.
Now, Zhao Lei was preparing to take action as Chen Tianlong instructed, appearing last.
"Alright, Shi Kekuang wins, so far there are two ringmasters left. Who will the challenge team send next? This needs careful consideration, opportunities are limited. To ensure fairness, the ringmaster cannot overly exhaust his stamina, I’ve decided, the last three matches determine the victory."
Judge Zhang Jie said, having the authority, considering if the match goes on endlessly among these ten people, the ringmaster would be exhausted, leaving no fairness.
Additionally, by setting a limit, the challengers would approach cautiously, putting out their best to find the optimal opponent to challenge.
"This..."
The remaining challengers began discussing, realizing it was unfavorable for them with only three chances to defeat the opponent, else they would lose.
"Who will you send next, discuss quickly, time is limited," Zhang Jie urged them, sensing their urgency because witnessing Shi Kekuang’s skills earlier, he doubted the remaining ones could handle it.
Looking back, not mentioning size, not even one robust individual among them, Zhao Lei appeared slender, while Chen Tianlong was a standard 1.8 meters tall, but his muscles weren’t visible through clothes, making his frame appear slightly thin.
Zhang Jie glanced briefly and returned to the ring waiting for the next contestant. Sure enough, within thirty seconds, Zhao Lei started walking towards the ring.
Soon, Zhao Lei stood atop the ring. Chen Tianlong, seeing Zhao Lei’s confident demeanor, wasn’t overly worried, knowing Zhao Lei well.
"Are you sure you want to challenge Shi Kekuang?" Judge Zhang Jie asked with some doubt.
After all, a skinny fellow challenging a tall, strong black man seemed unbelievable to him.
Disregarding Zhao Lei’s capability, purely from a physical standpoint, he seemed severely outmatched.
