Da Pao was one of the Third Prince’s personal guards.
He was highly regarded by the Third Prince, but he had always been conceited. He was especially displeased to see that Jiang Chen had been personally invited by the Third Prince.
He wanted to spar with Jiang Chen, or even drive him away.
The crowd erupted, clearly having great faith in Da Pao.
"Jiang Chen, come on! I’ll teach you your place today. The Third Prince’s dignity isn’t something a lowlife like you can just trample on."
"I’ll teach you a lesson on the Third Prince’s behalf, you ignorant brat!"
Stepping onto the fighting ring, Da Pao unleashed his entire aura.
His Cultivation as a Martial King Third Heaven was on full display.
His powerful presence made the surrounding military officers cheer endlessly.
"Yeah! Lord Da Pao is mighty!"
"Go easy on the new guy! Don’t be too rough. At least let him crawl away when you’re done."
The crowd roared with laughter.
"Young Master, why don’t I go up?"
Xiao Jun couldn’t hold back any longer. He suggested he go up and test his skills against Da Pao first. After all, he wasn’t really afraid of Da Pao. Although his Cultivation breakthrough was recent, his foundation was stable.
He was just a step away from breaking through to Martial King Third Heaven himself.
Jiang Chen waved his hand. "No need. Since he’s challenging me, if I don’t go up, how will he ever learn that there’s always someone stronger?"
Without a moment’s hesitation, he strode directly onto the ring.
As he took his position, his own aura instantly erupted.
He stood face-to-face with Da Pao.
Both of them were at the Martial King Third Heaven.
BOOM!
The crowd was in an uproar once again.
"Well, I’ll be. This new guy is actually a Martial King Third Heaven expert."
"I thought this newcomer’s Cultivation was low and he’d just get taught a lesson by Lord Da Pao. Now it looks like we’ve got a real show on our hands. The new guy’s not half bad."
"Tsk tsk, this is getting interesting. I wonder how strong this newcomer really is?"
The moment Jiang Chen released his aura, his Cultivation was laid bare for all to see.
His aura was in no way weaker than Da Pao’s.
He cupped his fist in a slight bow.
"Da Pao, is it? Please, you can make the first move."
Jiang Chen spoke nonchalantly, as if he didn’t take Da Pao seriously at all.
Hearing this, Da Pao flew into a rage out of shame and anger.
He roared, "You brat! How arrogant! Telling me to make the first move? Those were my lines!"
"Since you’re looking for death, just watch how I deal with you!"
With that, Da Pao let out a tiger’s roar.
"Iron Cannon Fist!"
That’s right, Da Pao practiced a fist technique called the Iron Cannon Fist.
This fist style was incredibly fierce and powerful. A single punch from him could defeat an ordinary Martial King Third Heaven expert.
His movements were full of vigor, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain.
Combined with his sharp, imposing aura, he was extraordinarily formidable.
The crowd began to shout and gasp again.
SWOOSH!
Da Pao charged at Jiang Chen, his hand quickly clenching into a fist. His fist, as large as a clay pot, was practically a lump of solid steel.
Treating his fist like a sledgehammer, he swung it high and brought it crashing straight down on Jiang Chen’s head.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...
As the fist passed, the air itself seemed to crackle and explode from the force.
The sound arrived before the fist.
Jiang Chen was a little surprised.
’No wonder this Da Pao dared to be so bold and challenge me.’
’This Iron Cannon Fist is astonishingly powerful.’
’An ordinary Martial King Third Heaven would be in real danger trying to block this Iron Cannon Fist with their body alone, without using a Magical Treasure.’
But who was Jiang Chen?
After cultivating the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, his physical strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Even without specialized Body Refining, his body was now as durable as a common Treasure Artifact.
’Then let me show you just how pathetic your fist technique really is.’
Jiang Chen didn’t move a muscle, standing there as still as a mountain.
Inside him, the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique began to circulate.
He took a deep breath and poured all his Cultivation Power into his hand.
In that instant.
He suddenly clenched his fist.
PFFT!
The very moment he clenched his fist, the dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around it let out a sonic boom.
"Kneel before me!"
Da Pao’s fist struck with fierce determination.
Its power was unstoppable.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen remained unhurried. He, too, sent a punch smashing toward his opponent’s fist.
Its speed seemed slow, but was in fact unpredictably swift.
BOOM!
In an instant, their fists collided like two crashing meteorites.
A violent roar echoed out.
After the roar.
CRACK!
A crisp cracking sound was heard, as if something had shattered.
Da Pao had thought his one punch would be enough to finish Jiang Chen. After all, among those at the Martial King Third Heaven, he had never met his match.
But now, seeing Jiang Chen meet his fist with a fist of his own...
He sneered, ’He’s asking to die.’
The next moment, however, he changed his mind.
Because at the instant his fist met Jiang Chen’s, he felt as if he had smashed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall mountain.
A force even more ferocious than his own rebounded, instantly surging into his fist and then straight up his arm.
At the same time, his arm began to vibrate violently.
The force even rushed into his body, causing his internal organs to tremble ceaselessly.
And that wasn’t all.
He was quite sure he heard a crisp crack.
In that moment, an excruciating pain shot from his fist and spread through his entire body.
It made him convulse uncontrollably.
"Aaaargh..."
Then, with a wretched scream, Da Pao’s body shot backward off the ring like a cannonball.
But Jiang Chen stood firmly in his original spot, completely still. He hadn’t even swayed.
Watching Da Pao get sent flying by his punch, he slowly unclenched his fist and flexed his fingers, stretching them out a bit.
He was completely unaffected.
BOOM!
Like a cannonball that had been blasted away, Da Pao smashed hard onto the training grounds.
Kicking up a cloud of dust.
The roars of the crowd died in their throats.
Just a moment ago, everyone had been cheering for Da Pao.
But in the blink of an eye, the situation had taken a drastic turn.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Da Pao lying on the ground.
"What just happened?"
"Did I see that right? Da Pao was actually defeated by a newcomer?"
"Defeated? It looked to me like the guy threw a single punch and sent Lord Da Pao flying."
The crowd erupted into a clamor once more.
They were filled with nothing but astonishment and shock.
Both were Martial King Third Heaven, yet the fearless Da Pao had been defeated just like that, and in such a miserable fashion.
"Quick, help Lord Da Pao up!"
A few people hurriedly rushed over and helped Da Pao to his feet.
"Pfft..."
As he was being helped up, Da Pao spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
His chest still felt like it was about to explode.
His eyes, filled with horror, were fixed on the calm and composed Jiang Chen standing on the stage.
Jiang Chen, however, just smiled slightly and cupped his fist. "Brother Da Pao, thank you for the match."
Da Pao felt like he was about to fall apart.
He couldn’t stop coughing up blood.
The facts had shown him that Jiang Chen was significantly stronger than he was.
Defeating him in a single move—in terms of strength, Jiang Chen had crushed him with ease.
He gave a bitter laugh. "Damn, kid. I’ll admit I lost this time."
"But I’m still not convinced!"
"If you’ve got the guts, just you wait! Let me train for a few days, and I’ll fight you for three hundred rounds!"
