Chapter 1118: Chapter 168: Martial Arts Legacy (2)

“I swung my hand with a slap, isn’t that obvious! If that kind of performance art can win a prize, I’d abandon my martial arts and go under a master in a heartbeat!”

“As a result, my girlfriend, expressionless, pulled out this video and sent me to the hospital with her deadly scissor kick. I’m still lying in bed now. If any of you brothers find new developments, don’t forget to let me know!”

“Haha, brother upstairs, wake up. Where did you get a girlfriend? Aren’t you just overworked?”

“Don’t understand, so just asking – can anyone tell me what WTF is all about? Why do I feel like it’s an insult?”

“WTF is the world’s most famous and prestigious mixed martial arts competition. Here, you can use any fighting skill, and barring a few expressly prohibited underhanded tactics, almost any move is allowed.”

“Those who win positions in this type of competition are absolutely top-notch experts! They not only need high-level fighting skills but also unparalleled actual combat experience. If you’re lacking in either, going on stage is basically just delivering a meal.”

“Thanks for the explanation upstairs, but is this thing really that awesome? How come I’ve never heard of it before; it sounds a bit exaggerated.”

“Of course, you haven’t heard of it because the videos are basically banned over here due to the violence and gore of the competition. If you want to watch, you have to bypass the firewall to access foreign websites, and usually, unless someone is a fan of this stuff, they won’t bother.”

“The brother in front is basically right, but I need to add a bit more. Actually, many people don’t watch this competition mainly because no one from our side has ever appeared in it. It’s pretty much the home turf of those Western muscle bros.”

“That’s also something that can’t be helped. After all, in terms of fighting, we’re relatively weak. Last time, one of our very famous Sandboxing experts tried it, and he didn’t even make it through the preliminaries, just got eliminated right away.”

“So, anyone with a bit of understanding of this competition knows what the bottommost video from the original poster means. Frankly, even if everyone is assuring that the video isn’t fake, I still can’t believe it’s real.”

“Don’t worry, everyone, there’s no point in discussing more now. From the rounds of the competition, we can see that this should be the latest 47th edition, apparently held just yesterday afternoon. By tomorrow, the official video from WTF will be released, and then everything will be clear.”

“…”

In the end, the comments from netizens gradually leaned towards waiting for results.

After all, just from the body proportions, the elderly man in the training clothes didn’t seem like someone who could win the competition.

No, saying he could win the competition may be a bit of an exaggeration.

To be precise, he shouldn’t even have gotten the qualification to register.

The organizers aren’t foolish; seeing his seemingly wind-knocked-over posture, they wouldn’t dare to let him sign up.

By this point, the thread’s popularity began to slowly climb.

Until the next afternoon, when WTF’s officials released the full video of the competition, it thoroughly verified the authenticity of the original poster’s content.

He won, he really won.

But…

How could this be possible?

This was the first reaction of all viewers who watched the video.

Everyone was stunned, completely unable to accept this outcome.

It’s not that they weren’t keen to see their country’s Ancient Martial Arts rise and win the championship in this world-class fighting competition.

But from the video content, the manner in which the elderly man won the match was simply unfathomable.

The 47th tournament content released by WTF officials was comprehensive, recording every match’s information.

And this elderly man in training clothes was a Huaxia elder named Xiang Zhenyuan, who traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to participate in this fight tournament.

It’s unclear what method he used, but the elder’s registration went smoothly, allowing him to step onto the stage of the world’s strongest mixed martial arts competition.

What happened next was quite bizarre.

In each clash, Xiang Zhenyuan only needed one move to defeat his opponents.

Even in the final match, he never used a second move.

The move he used was simple.

It was just a seemingly simple point of his finger on the opponent’s chest.

Immediately, the opponent fell stiffly as if hit by an immobilization spell.

Afterward, the referee walked over, bewildered, and after a while, came to his senses, starting to time for the fallen opponent.

Without any suspense, the fallen opponent never got up again.

Finally, they had to be carried away on a stretcher, while Xiang Zhenyuan calmly advanced to the next level.

Just like that, with a single finger, whoever he pointed at would fall, winning the whole round effortlessly and leisurely.

Not just Huaxia’s netizens but even American and global fighting enthusiasts couldn’t believe what they saw.

What kind of maneuver is this, it’s as if playing, no movie even exaggerates to such an extent.

A single finger lightly touches, and you stiffen up like a board and fall, losing the match. What kind of contest is this? It’s like filming a movie!

In no time, countless cries of match-fixing emerged, causing headaches for the officials.

What could they do? They felt helpless too.

As the official who’ve organized over forty world mixed martial arts tournaments, they can tell if it’s a fake match.

The elderly in front of them, you can call him strange, but you definitely can’t say he’s fixing the fight because even the official personnel verified it themselves.

Fortunately, netizens aren’t fools either. In this sensational topic of Transcendents, people almost instantly associated another possibility.

This elderly man is a Transcendent!

The power he used likely comes from Huaxia’s unknown Extraordinary Power, mysterious Eastern witchcraft, or those unfathomable Cultivation Techniques!

Only this explanation can account for what everyone saw.

This matter quickly reached the ears of the Hurricane Bureau.

Lune immediately ordered to mobilize all powers to trace the identity of this elder.

Yet, even so, with the energy of the Hurricane Bureau, they couldn’t find anything conclusive.

The results showed that Xiang Zhenyuan is just an ordinary Huaxia elder.

He had come to America merely as a tourist, with his trip ending soon, about to return home.

The only thing remotely related to the match is that his family seems to run a place called “Sky Martial Arts Academy.”

He himself teaches Kung Fu and can be considered from a family lineage of Kung Fu.

But as for that so-called Kung Fu, even the Americans across the ocean know.

It’s good for performances, but for actual combat, it’s laughable.

However, the results of this competition were so bizarre that it amazed everyone.

“Could it be that Huaxia’s Ancient Martial Arts really exist…?”

By this point, Lune was already a bit unsure.

Compared to that mysterious country, what he knew was far too little.

The Cultivators he once assumed to be mere illusions, and the result?

They still suddenly appeared before the world’s eyes.

Looking at it this way, the Ancient Martial Arts seem less strange.

Lune resolved to seize this opportunity to personally contact the elder and see if he truly possesses the legendary Extraordinary Power.

But before he could act, Xiang Zhenyuan quietly returned home, catching Lune completely off guard.
