CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57: DEADLY FANGS

The crowd on the field was shouting the names of the three favorites to win the championship.

As the shouts stopped, the host on the field looked at the teleprompter in his hand and continued:

"The draw for the first round has already taken place in advance, next we have..."

At this moment, Wang Yue raised the Thunder King megaphone in his hand and maximized the volume. Meng Yiyi leaned in, and the two of them shouted together:

"Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan, a genius of the age, I’m second, who dares to be first!"

The huge sound of the megaphone spread throughout the stadium, and the people from the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo were stunned for a moment, then they also began to shout out.

In a corner of the field, Meng Chuan found it amusing and then felt a warmth in his heart.

He raised his arm and called out, responding to his few supporters.

Seeing someone causing a ruckus in the stands, the security maintaining order confiscated Wang Yue’s megaphone.

Wang Yue and Meng Yiyi then pulled out a huge LED light sign from under their seat, raising it high.

The large screen in the air captured this moment, and for the first time, Meng Chuan’s eyes were a little moist.

"Brother Chuan, you can do it!"

The chubby boy’s heartfelt shout echoed in the venue.

Seeing this, the host demonstrated basic control skills.

"Some audience members seem a bit excited, but this is exactly the external manifestation of our Great Chu martial arts spirit!"

"Promote martial spirit, strive for self-improvement!"

"Alright, next, let’s welcome our first group of competitors to the stage!"

Number 1, Meng Chuan, and number 4, Li Xiaoyue, responded and stepped onto the martial arts arena, standing at the left and right, waiting for the match to begin.

In the judges’ seats, Luo Guanyun immediately stood up to cheer for his disciple.

"Go Meng Chuan, beat the hell out of this girl."

Beside him, Liu Sanduo laughed heartily.

"Brother Luo is still so spirited!"

Although he felt that Meng Chuan was not the opponent’s match, he must save face for his elder brother.

Li Cuizhen turned her head angrily upon hearing Luo Guanyun’s rude words, appearing both angry and reluctant to speak out.

"Fists speak the real truth, tomorrow I have to go up too, I dare not touch the edge of a Martial Arts Master at all."

"Daughter, do your best, let him know, who says women aren’t as good as men!"

On stage, Li Xiaoyue made an OK gesture in response to her mother.

"What of a Martial Arts Master, I’ll definitely take care of your disciple in the arena!"

Meng Chuan felt that his master was attracting hatred for him, but he didn’t mind, smiling faintly as he raised his right arm to respond to his master.

In the audience, Xue Na pulled Meng Yongzhi and asked:

"Meng Chuan’s first match is against a girl, he should be stable, right?"

"You don’t understand, this girl’s mother is a member of the Martial Arts Family, she’s not easy to deal with..."

"So what about the Martial Arts Family, Chuan’s master is a Martial Arts Master."

"I said you don’t understand, but you’re still not convinced; Chuan started practicing with Master Luo late, the others started early, winning or losing is really hard to say."

Xue Na pouted, the match was about to begin, and she didn’t say anything more.

A professional judge of the Martial Arts Association-grade walked to the center of the ring, coughed once, then loudly reminded:

"To both young friends, friendship first, competition second, stop when it’s time, once one side concedes, the other must not continue to attack."

— Phew.

Meng Chuan let out a long breath.

Then he cleared his mind of distractions and focused intently on the opponent.

Offstage, Chen Xuewu and Li Bing had been watching Li Xiaoyue, attempting to find weak points for when they face off later.

The referee retreated to the ringside rope, then announced:

"Alright, let the match begin!"

On the stage, Li Xiaoyue took the initiative to attack without holding back; she wanted to prove her strength to her mother while fiercely slapping the face of that Martial Arts Master!

She swung her long legs to sprint forward, her whole figure like a stretched-out green snake, baring cruel fangs as she flew towards the opponent, the speed causing a faint hissing sound in the wind.

The fangs were her Snake Form Claw Hand, her hands forming a pointed shape, viciously stabbing at Meng Chuan’s facial vital target!

Her move was the snake-form killing blow, Ling Snake Explores the Hole!

The referee’s gaze followed Li Xiaoyue closely, with the Snake Form’s speed being fast with strong burst strength. If the opponent did not react, this strike might decide victory!

In the eyes of the audience, Li Xiaoyue was like a sharp sword, rapidly thrusting towards Meng Chuan, their eyes barely keeping up with her speed.

Xue Na’s heart tightened at once.

"This little girl is so powerful..."

The people from the martial arts dojo in the waiting area couldn’t help but sweat for Meng Chuan.

Facing the venomous snake so close at hand, Meng Chuan’s response was beyond everyone’s expectations.

"The speed is indeed quite fast, but I can keep up!"

In an instant, Meng Chuan struck back, blocking the venomous snake with the Baji Blocking Fist, his hand form quickly transforming, twisted upward into a fist, with the fist’s center facing up, swinging fiercely towards the opponent’s neck.

When an expert strikes, one knows right away, Chen Xuewu, who also practiced Baji Fist, naturally saw that Meng Chuan’s Luo-style Baji had some essence to it.

"I was wrong, this guy is not simple at all, this round may have variables."

Li Xiaoyue’s face changed upon seeing the opponent easily intercept her attack.

Seeing Meng Chuan react rapidly, she crossed her hands into a vine-like Snake Form, guarding in front of her neck.

With a dull thud, although she blocked the strike, she still felt the hidden strength within it break through her defense.

At that moment, there was a sweet taste in her throat. She reacted swiftly to swallow the blood phlegm in her throat without revealing any sign.

In the judge’s seating, Li Cuizhen realized her daughter suffered in the first confrontation and became anxious at once.

"Xiaoyue! Fight cunningly!"

Li Xiaoyue adjusted her posture, standing guard, waiting for Meng Chuan to initiate the attack, ready to use the agility of the Snake Form to tire him out.

Meng Chuan smiled faintly and said:

"If you don’t come, then I will go."

As the words fell, Meng Chuan stomped the ground and dashed in an instant, closing in on Li Xiaoyue’s side.

His right arm was drawn like a bow, fist clenching tight, as the Qi Blood filled the arm, veins bulged all over, resembling a giant battering ram, slamming ruthlessly towards the opponent!

The explosive power beyond perfection was astonishingly terrifying.

From Li Xiaoyue’s perspective, Meng Chuan’s position first stirred up a wave of white surge, and then his whole silhouette disappeared, appearing beside her in an instant.

"Not good!"

Li Cuizhen in the judges’ seats thought to herself that it was not good, the opponent’s explosive force was too fast, her daughter couldn’t react.

This move, truly, was the Cannon Fist’s nine sounds unified, the enormous boom was like a train rolling over, as Li Xiaoyue instinctively raised her arms to block.

The disparity in strength was too great, Meng Chuan not only had more power, but the Qi Blood brought out more energy.

At the instant the arms made contact, Li Xiaoyue’s whole body was flipped by the massive explosive force.

Take advantage of the enemy’s weakness and finish them!

Meng Chuan once again displayed superior reaction speed.

In an Inch Step, he moved to the opponent’s landing point, mercilessly employing Luo-style Baji short strikes on her body, alternating fists and kicks, punching faster and faster.

Li Xiaoyue, after taking a heavy punch, felt her arms in pain and could only desperately use the Snake Fist to fend off Meng Chuan’s attack.

The essence of Baji lies in close-range short strikes, she wanted to distance herself to find another chance to turn the tables.

Unfortunately, what Meng Chuan learned was not ordinary Baji Fist, but Luo-style Baji that also excelled in Long Fist.

Meng Chuan sensed the opponent’s intent and deliberately allowed a gap for her to retreat.

Then immediately closed in with a Long Fist into her embrace, Baji’s Dark Strength like a menacing giant python, smashing through all obstacles ahead!

Pa!

The penetrating power of the Dark Strength emitted a crisp snap.

Li Xiaoyue was instantly knocked back, crashing heavily onto the ropes, struggled a few times, and feeling the tearing pain from her chest, she raised her hand at once to signal surrender.
