Infinite Fighting

Chapter 90: Chapter 80: The Transcendence Group Competition Begins

That was right. For the professional division, Hudson was the anchor.

This was mainly because Hudson had an ace up his sleeve—an ultimate move that could unleash the power of a Grandmaster.

So after some discussion, they decided to have Hudson go last.

If they ran into a tough opponent that Shen Han and Zhou Hao couldn’t handle, Hudson would go up and just overwhelm them.

Hudson had already achieved a basic mastery of the Little Five Elements Fist, and he had recently been sparring with Shen Han to cram on his fighting techniques.

He had officially moved beyond relying purely on instinct to fight.

His opponent was a woman, but her moves were vicious, and her strength was on par with a man’s.

Her muscular physique was also incredibly tough.

Hudson was having a very hard time dealing with her and was constantly forced back.

"Your disciple is about to lose," Fu Tian said.

"It’s not that easy," Zhang Ji said.

Although Hudson’s stats were propped up purely by his bloodline and his fighting techniques weren’t yet refined, that didn’t mean he lacked the power to match those stats.

BANG!

Hudson’s attack revealed an opening, and his opponent hammered a blow into his chest. It felt like his sternum was about to break.

He executed a force-dispersing technique and retreated to neutralize the impact, but his Little Five Elements Fist was, after all, only at a rudimentary level. It was impossible to negate the force completely, and a pained expression couldn’t help but cross his face.

"One more punch, little guy, and I’ll knock you flat on your back!"

The woman’s taunt was meant to provoke Hudson.

However, she clearly didn’t know that Hudson didn’t understand the language of the Roman Country at all.

He was still in the process of learning it.

Seeing his opponent attack again, Hudson stopped holding back. The light around him suddenly dimmed.

The next moment, flames ignited the forest. Amidst the inferno, the air currents stirred. Hudson unleashed a savage kick, and the flames and heat waves gathered, causing the air to instantly explode.

BOOM! BANG!

A figure was sent flying, snapping two trees in half before stopping.

...

As the referee announced the victor, Fu Tian watched Hudson, who stood amidst the patch of flames, with curiosity.

"Is that the legacy of a Warlock?" Fu Tian asked.

Within the martial arts world of the Eastern Extreme Country, the techniques of Warlocks were generally looked down upon.

This was mainly because the barrier to entry was high, the potential was low, it was difficult to learn, and it was restricted by the environment. Even if you learned it, it might not be useful.

Moreover, the Eastern Extreme Country had produced the Primordial Qi Sect’s fighting style, which didn’t require seeking external energy for its techniques. Its barrier to entry was relatively lower, its potential was higher, and it wasn’t restricted by the environment. That was why the Profound Heart Stream had never managed to flourish.

However, that didn’t mean there were no useful Profound Heart Stream fighting legacies outside the country.

Hudson was a living example.

He had taken the Wind God Kick, which he hadn’t even mastered, and empowered it with his bloodline. In his home-field environment, combined with his own base stats, its destructive power was almost comparable to a Grandmaster’s fighting technique.

The professional division’s tournament continued.

On April 9th, Hudson’s team fell in the quarterfinals.

Hudson even used his newly comprehended ultimate move.

A Wind God Kick that combined wind and fire.

His scorching kick failed to knock over his opponent; instead, he was sent flying back by a similarly explosive kick.

The one who beat him was a lean, powerful man standing 1.7 meters tall named Aurelian.

He was an expert from Ludo’s Earth Stabilizing Sect.

With both feet planted on the ground, he could directly borrow strength from the earth. Even though Hudson’s kick was comparable to a Grandmaster’s, he still couldn’t win.

"Bad luck. That guy is a seeded contestant in the professional division. Although his official rank is only Professional 9-Dan, you can basically treat him as a Grandmaster unless he gets unlucky and ends up in an arena like a river or a glacier," Fu Tian commented.

"They did very well," Zhang Ji said, shaking his head.

His expectations for the Five Elements Sect in the professional division competition weren’t high.

Making it to the quarterfinals was already quite an achievement.

This was the fighting capital of the world, after all.

There were several hundred Grandmasters here; it was perfectly normal to lose to someone stronger.

In the end, the professional division championship wasn’t won by Aurelian’s team but by a team from another club.

It really goes to show that there’s always someone stronger, always a higher mountain to climb.

...

「Finally, April 11th.」

The Transcendent Level fighting tournament officially began.

The lots were drawn. Zhang Ji’s team was matched against the fighters from the Dixon Club.

They were up for the fourth team battle.

The arena wasn’t anything too special—just a steel city, with some buildings and other structures scattered about. It was slightly larger than the arenas for professional-level fighters, and the round time was also extended by five minutes, making each round fifteen minutes long.

Chen Anhe went up first for the first round. She had planned to use the terrain to her advantage, but her opponent was too fast, and she failed.

After dozens of exchanges, she was defeated.

She was old, after all, and her Qi and Blood had declined significantly. Furthermore, her primary style was Snake Fist, which wasn’t considered one of the stronger styles among Grandmasters. Her participation in the tournament now was more for the sake of self-refinement.

Fu Tian took her place. He went all out from the start, and after a few exchanges, he found an opening in his opponent’s defense. Unleashing his full Primordial Qi, he slashed out with a searing-hot, arm-length crimson blade, leaving a deep gash that tore through flesh and bone on his opponent’s chest and sending them off the stage.

Then, he too was taken off the stage by the opposing team’s second member.

Fu Tian lay in the rest area while medical personnel applied medicine to his wounds.

He had just been through a grueling fight, and his opponent had left him with quite a few injuries.

"How are you so useless? It’s only the first round," Zhang Ji said.

’I thought I could stay hidden for another two rounds before I had to step in.’

"What did you expect, big brother? These are Transcendent Level fighters chosen by their club too!" Fu Tian retorted, annoyed.

Zhang Ji shrugged. "I’ll avenge you."

With that, Zhang Ji strode into the arena.

Inside the enormous arena, constructed buildings stood tall, resembling the empty alleys of a city.

On the other side, the Transcendent Level fighter who had just defeated Fu Tian, Baron Bush, also returned to the field.

The two faced off.

"You scrawny kid! I’ll knock you flat just like I did your teammate!" Baron trash-talked.

Zhang Ji paid him no mind. This kind of pre-match trash talk seemed to be part of the culture here, but he preferred to talk less and punch more.

"Fighters, take your positions! The match begins!"

DONG!

As the sound of the match bell hanging high above the arena rang out, the round began.

Then, the crowd watched as Zhang Ji closed the distance and sent Baron flying with a single, savage kick, slamming him into a nearby building.

CRASH!

The concrete wall crumbled. Baron lay on the ground, his face contorted in pain, completely unable to get back up.

Ten seconds later, the match was decided. Medical personnel entered the arena to carry him away.

After a short break, the opposing team’s anchor, their third fighter, took the stage. And then, it was also over in a single move.

After the referee announced the victor, Zhang Ji brushed off the corner of his clothes and calmly left the stage.

But in that moment, the entire venue erupted, and everyone was shouting his name.
