World's Best Martial Artist - Chapter 166

In the second match, Xu Yikai battled Fang Wenxiang.

Xu Yikai followed Fang Ping’s advice and moved steadily. He kept dragging Fang Wenxiang on, provoking him once in a while.

Everybody’s eyes were wide and glued to the Peak Rank-1 powerhouse that was Fang Wenxiang. Due to his injuries, he eventually toppled and fell to the ground, moaning.

In the third battle, Zhang Zhenguang battled Xu Yikai.

Zhang Zhenguang had an arm injury and could only use one hand.

Even so, the incensed Zhang Zhenguang relied on his single arm and made seven continuous shots, heavily wounding Xu Yikai.

As for himself, blood dripped profusely from the arm that had already been hurt during Xu Yikai’s counterattacks.

Two twice-honed Peak-Rank 1 martial artists were beaten by two once-honed Upper-stage Rank-1 martial artists, making things seem even bleaker.

…

In the fourth battle, Chen Yunxi faced Zhang Zhenguang.

Seeing that Zhang Zhenguang fairly seriously injured, Chen Yunxi said gently when she got to the stage, “It’s better if you quit now. Don’t delay your treatment…”

Perhaps Zhang Zhenguang thought that Chen Yunxi was ridiculing him, as the martial artist who had always been level-headed was suddenly incensed.

Perhaps it was because he was unwilling, or it was some other reason.

Anyhow, Zhang Zhenguang fought extremely ferociously!

Everybody thought his left arm could not move, but as he dueled Chen Yunxi, Zhang Zhenguang suddenly used his seriously injured left arm for a low-level Combat Skill—Cannon Punch!

As he showcased this technique, many CCMAU people gave a low cry, and some could not stop their tears from flowing.

…

On the second floor, a powerhouse sighed and said, “The little bastard desires too much to be strong. With that Cannon Punch, I’m afraid his arm bone will be broken into pieces. Even three or five months of recuperation might not make it better.”

Chen Yunxi was a genuinely kind person. When she saw the wreck that her opponent was, she wanted to force him offstage by depleting his Vitality.

Before she could react, Zhang Zhenguang fiercely punched her abdomen and fresh blood sprayed from her mouth.

…

Backstage.

Bai Ruoxi said helplessly, “Reminded her from the start not to underestimate anybody, not to take pity on her opponent on the battle stage.

“And now…”

Zhang Zhenguang had been seriously injured a long time ago. Chen Yunxi’s Vitality was full. Being onstage for the first time, she could not have been in better shape.

Even so, she had been beaten up by a semi-disabled martial artist of the same level. Bai Ruoxi could not be more disappointed.

…

Chen Yunxi clearly did not expect this either.

She spat blood while she looked at Zhang Zhenguang falling to the ground, completely senseless.

He had made this desperate attack only to heavily hurt himself.

Was it worth it?

CCMAU’s loss was imminent. At this time, should they not focus on recuperation?

Nobody could provide Chen Yunxi an answer!

When Han Xu became the third person to come onstage, Chen Yunxi was filled with puzzlement and rage, which she vented on Han Xu. Previously, it was also Han Xu who had hurt Yang Xiaoman so badly!

“I’ll kill you!”

This was probably the most vicious anyone heard Chen Yunxi since she entered MCMAU.

Chen Yunxi, who had always been soft and delicate, fully demonstrated her combat abilities in the next moment!

She and Bai Ruoxi learned swordsmanship, but at this moment, Chen Yunxi had already tossed her sword aside.

She used a sword because she felt it was very mystical.

However, it did not mean she had achieved a lot in swordsmanship.

On the contrary, Chen Yunxi was the representative of close combat. At the start of the classes, she had used a pair of long legs to nearly kick Fu Changding to death.

Making full use of her combat strength, Chen Yunxi leaped into the air, walking on it. Her legs moved at the speed of light, and she kicked toward Han Xu in midair!

…

“Elevated stance!”

Among the crowd, a martial artist whistled. Another elevated stance!

From MCMAU, Fang Ping had previously already shown his pole-standing elevated stance. Currently, Chen Yunxi also displayed the strength of her elevated stance.

Han Xu was somewhat dumbfounded.

Earlier, when Chen Yunxi was battling the half-dead Zhang Zhenguang, it seemed she had some difficulty and was even punched by Zhang Zhenguang in the end, receiving a sizeable injury.

Why was it that when it was his turn, this girl changed completely?

Han Xu was confused and furious!

Why were they all like this!

His opponents always battled like their life depended on it!

He had already performed poorly this time. He wanted to redeem himself in the last round, but just as he went onstage, he met this crazy woman!

The enraged Han Xu was hit by his opponent’s consecutive kicks. His feet flashed, trying to make some distance between them and grind the woman to death with his speed afterward.

However, just as Han Xu moved, a pair of big long legs once again appeared at his forehead!

“Her Stepping Techniques are highly accomplished!”

Liu Huarong was astonished and hastily said, “MCMAU’s reserves team member Chen Yunxi has an elevated stance pole-standing and well-accomplished Stepping Techniques. Her speed isn’t slower than Han Xu’s either… Han Xu has met his match!”

“Ah!”

Han Xu was enraged. Why, why was it like this!

A reserves team member—who were MCMAU f*cking trying to fool!

He had dueled MCMAU’s Fu Changding and Yang Xiaoman. Neither of their pole-standing had reached the elevated stance. They were fooling ghosts!

Moreover, Tang Songting and Zhao Xuemei were of average strength, and they were starter members.

How could Chen Yunxi, a reserves team member, be so strong!

Han Xu was angered, but so was Chen Yunxi!

Her friend was injured, her instructor looked down on her, and she had pitied Zhang Zhenguang only for him to plot against her.

The others had entered the starter team, but she had gotten into the reserves team.

Tang Feng had even asked her to become a civilian and be a logistics member!

What part of her was not good enough!

The more she thought about it, the more indignant she felt. The more indignant she felt, the angrier she got!

The long legs that were a blur suddenly erupted with a stronger Vitality, attacking Han Xu’s lower region.

She would kick this asshole to death!

There really was nothing good about men!

Zhang Zhenguang had better not appear in front of her next time, or she would absolutely kick him to death!

“Xiaoman was right. There’s nothing good about men!”

Chen Yunxi could not stop herself from shouting aloud. Her gaze, as she looked at Han Xu, was not different from one looking at an archenemy. This guy wanted to beat her too!

From the moment he came on stage, this asshole wanted to beat her. It was too annoying!

…

“Middle-ranked Combat Technique—Eighteen Consecutive Kicks. Han Xu’s luck…”

Liu Huarong gave three seconds of silence for Han Xu.

Chen Xueyan also kept quiet for a moment before explaining softly, “Eighteen Consecutive Kicks is a type of leg technique among the harder Middle-ranked Combat Techniques. Its requirements are very high. Your pole-standing has to reach the elevated stance before you can cultivate it.

“Moreover, with Eighteen Consecutive Kicks, each kick increases in strength.

“Chen Yunxi’s first kick had a Vitality outburst of around 10cal, but now that she’s on her seventh kick, the Vitality outburst has already reached around 70cal!”

As she said this, Chen Xueyan was shocked. “Her Vitality’s not right!”

Seven consecutive kicks like this would have reached a Vitality depletion of 280cal. She would die!

However, Chen Yunxi showed no signs of that. Liu Huarong watched for a while before saying, “It’s not that her Vitality is over 350cal, she… Seems to have eaten…”

Just as he wanted to say something, he saw Han Xu, who was on the battle stage, kicked to the ground with a bang, his entire body covered in fresh blood!

In the seven consecutive kicks, Chen Yunxi had kicked for an accumulated 280cal of Vitality!

Under this Vitality outburst, Han Xu was almost kicked to death!

“This…”

The whole arena was quiet.

Nobody had expected this outcome!

CCMAU’s strongest fighter Han Xu had been thoroughly beaten by a reserves team member, twice in a row!

…

Lying on the ground, Han Xu felt nothing but the desire to die. He did not think of anything else.

He did not think about why he was so unfortunate!

He also did not think about why these women had all waited to face him before exploding!

Zhang Zhenguang, a semi-disabled bastard, could beat her till she spat blood. Why did this always happen when it was his turn!

This woman, after the outburst, was not the least bit weaker than him.

He had not fully recovered from the injuries he had gotten in the past few days, and after being struck by Chen Yunxi, he could not shake her off and was kicked seven times. His life was nearly lost!

‘Why!’

Only this thought floated in Han Xu’s mind. Just why?

…

Backstage.

Fang Ping gulped, asking in a small voice, “But she looks so small and cute?”

Fu Changding’s face was embarrassed, and he said awkwardly, “She’s possibly… A little angry…”

“That time of the month?”

“Maybe menopause came early…”

As the two of them spoke nonsense, Bai Ruoxi viciously glared at them before an expression of surprise came on her face.

‘This girl… Since when could she kick consecutively seven times?’

Also… What Chen Yunxi ate just now did not seem like a Vitality Pill… It was…

Bai Ruoxi considered in her head for a while before whispering, “A Resurrection Pill?”

When Fang Ping heard this, his mouth fell wide open. Half a beat passed before he stammered, “Resurrection Pill? That… That 200-credits Resurrection Pill?”

“It should be…”

Bai Ruoxi was not too sure, but she still nodded and said, “Only a Resurrection Pill would allow her to recover from her wounds a little. Her Vitality has replenished quite a bit…”

Fang Ping was shocked to the heavens. Motherf*cker, there was someone in the class who was even grander than Fu Changding’s family!

200 credits!

Even at MCMAU, daring to spend 200 credits for a medicinal pill that replenishes Vitality and heals wounds was something that only Rank-3 or higher martial artists did.

One Resurrection Pill was sold for a price not less than 5 million in other places!

She just ate it?

With just that small injury, she ate it!

There were still so many people after him, yet this woman just ate it so she could have a Vitality outburst for a while?

‘You should’ve said something earlier! If you had said something earlier, you could’ve left it to me, and I would’ve killed Han Xu, that son of a bitch, and it would’ve been fine!’

After fighting so many rounds, it was not uncommon to eat medicinal pills, but nobody was that wasteful!

Even CCMAU was the same. It was not worth it.

Medicinal pills all had a time period when the effect of the medicine would slowly kick in, which meant that the effectiveness would not be better just because the pill was of a higher rank.

Resurrection Pills were not ranked as it was considered a part of a special category of medicinal pills.

These medicinal pills could be used under critically injured circumstances to sustain life while waiting for rescue. As for the recovery of some Vitality, it was also for the preservation of life.

Nobody used it as a Healing Pill!

Currently, Chen Yunxi could not be any more wasteful!

…

Fang Ping stewed in resentment, but Zhao Lei was dazed.

‘What number am I going on?’

‘Number four!’

‘Yes, number four!’

‘CCMAU still has two people—two semi-disabled reserves team members. Put this way, do I still have people to beat?’

Just as he thought this, Chen Yunxi was already dueling Zhang Yichuan onstage.

Three minutes later, Zhang Yichuan could not oppose her any longer, and Chen Yunxi’s Vitality was also completely used up. The two of them fell to the ground one after another.

“There’s still Yang Shuai… That’s right, there’s still Yang Shuai…” Zhao Lei muttered.

Fang Ping, at the side, was shaken out of his stupor at the moment, and his lip curled. “Yesterday, Yang Shuai’s breast bone was broken by Chen Jiasheng. At most, he would have the strength of an Upper-stage Rank-1 martial artist. You better not lose.”

“I…”

Zhao Lei was so angry, he nearly spat blood!

‘What’s the point of me preparing for a few months only to get on the stage to challenge an Upper-stage Rank-1 martial artist?’

…

At that moment, victory and defeat were already clear, in truth.

Han Xu suddenly lost by Chen Yunxi’s hand, which was out of everybody’s expectations.

CCMAU had not expected it either!

According to their beliefs, Han Xu could beat Chen Yunxi at the very least, and they held hope that he could beat Zhao Lei before entering a deciding battle with Fang Ping at the end.

This way, even if CCMAU lost, their defeat would not be embarrassing.

A battle between the strongest members. If Han Xu had lost to Fang Ping because he had battled two people first, this was not worth any fanfare.

Behind him, CCMAU still had two people. Even if he was beaten to a pulp, this could still prove that CCMAU was truly very strong, it was just that their luck was bad.

But now?

…

Onstage, Zhao Lei was clearly a little listless.

Bullying a semi-disabled Peak Rank-1 martial artist, who was only honed once too, felt somewhat humiliating.

He felt the opponent would be spitting blood walking up to the stage. He, an MCMAU powerhouse, would have to bully a disabled person like this?

‘Should I surrender and let Fang Ping deal with it?’

The thought floated into his head, but he thought the moment he did this, his instructor would hammer him dead. Zhao Lei could only sigh and proceed with bullying the half-dead fighter.

…

A minute later, CCMAU’s Yang Shuai fell.

Zhao Lei did not take the opportunity to pursue and kill him as there was no need.

CCMAU’s instructor sighed and shouted their surrender.

MCMAU won this battle!

Backstage, Fang Ping was also a little uninterested. This time, the competition schedule was packed too closely. Consequently, they battled an almost all-crippled CCMAU.

Moreover, MCMAU’s full strength was revealed, and they fought without any motivation.

Furthermore, it was the first competition. In the beginning, everybody had fought too ferociously without any thought of conserving some strength.

They only noticed at the end that even the five-people teams were incomplete.

Now, with Chen Yunxi’s sudden outburst, Zhao Lei did not have to attack many times, let alone Fang Ping. Rather than saying Yang Shuai was defeated by him, it could be said that his own wounds were aggravated and caused his fall.

“MCMAU wins!

“This championship’s first place, Magic City Martial Arts University!

“Second place, Capital City Martial Arts University!

“Third place, the Martial Arts University Alliance…”

Along with Liu Huarong’s loud cheers, the first nationwide public martial arts tournament officially ended.

In this competition, there were many martial artists who made impressions on people.

Fang Ping was one, Han Xu was one, Sun Mingyu, Chen Jiasheng, Zhang Zhenguang, Li Ran, Yang Xiaoman, Zhao Xuemei, Bai Yin, Liang Weiyao, Chen Yunxi… Even Wei Shujie, who had been hit in the crown jewels, was included.

Only Zhao Lei did not make the cut.

Nobody remembered this top student of Magic City’s martial sciences even though he had fought the last match in the finals.

The fight was too boring!

With three punches and two kicks, Yang Shuai’s wounds were aggravated, and he fell to the ground!

Was Zhao Lei strong?

Nobody knew!

They had no way of knowing. Who knew if he was strong or not—they only knew he had defeated a semi-disabled Rank-1 martial artist.

The moment the competition ended, the audience beneath the stage and MCMAU’s students all celebrated and cheered.

On the other hand, backstage, Fang Ping and the others could not be excited.

Zhao Lei was at a loss, feeling distraught.

Fu Changding was very cautious, not daring to look at the injured girls.

The girls talked in low voices, including Zhao Xuemei and Yang Xiaoman—who both rushed from the infirmary. The three girls chatted very excitedly.

As for Fang Ping…

Currently, Fang Ping kept staring at Chen Yunxi’s pockets. He wanted to know, were there any Resurrection Pills in there?

“We won!”

It was unknown who said this, but the atmosphere slowly took a turn for the better. Everybody exchanged glances and gave a relaxed smile.

They had finished the battles!

Not long since classes started, they kept preparing for the championship, and it was now over.

MCMAU entered fights continuously and steadily won their way to first place.

“We won… We should discuss money matters now…”

Fang Ping mumbled, a genuine smile spreading on his face. First place—how much should the school award?
