Chapter 347: 177 hits everyone with one punch!

On the fighting arena layered with dark red rubber,

Two shadows stood opposite each other, left and right.

Chen Hu stood silently on the left side, his gray combat attire unable to conceal his muscular and formidable figure. His two powerful and sinewy arms hung down, with abnormally thick tendons and bones in his palms, clearly indicating astounding strength. This was the product of both innate talent and the relentless hammering and sculpting through training – as fierce as the claws of a tiger.

The Evil Tiger Fist of the Rock Tiger Sect focused on power and offense, particularly ruthless in hand-to-hand combats. When transforming the fist, it could punch through steel plates, and when using a hand blade, it could chop through concrete walls. Especially when displaying the tiger claw, a single swipe could even tear off the facial skin and lower jaw of a cross-training master – extremely dominant and violent.

Chen Hu’s arm strength slowly gathered. He squinted his eyes, watching the youth in front of him, who had just replaced Wu Binghe as the first core disciple of the Fierce Bird Sect.

The youth had a rather burly physique, seemingly even larger than Chen Hu himself. His hands hung by his sides, his breath restrained, maintaining a posture that felt natural and relaxed, differing from the seriousness expected at a fighting arena. A pair of pitch-black eyes quietly gazed over, emitting a bone-piercing coldness despite showing no aggression. It was a kind of disregard, an apathetic indifference.

That gaze from Bai Xiao made Chen Hu very uncomfortable.

His brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly performed a fist salute.

"Rock Tiger Sect, Chen Hu!"

A voice from the opposite side responded likewise.

"Fierce Bird Sect, Bai Xiao."

The next second, a crisp bell sounded from the broadcast.

"Ding, the match begins!"

Chen Hu’s gaze suddenly intensified, locking firmly onto Bai Xiao.

"Let me see..."

"What makes you worthy to replace Wu Binghe as the first core of the Fierce Bird Sect!"

His clothing tensed in an instant, his sinewy muscles bulged visibly during the brief burst of power, and the veins on his body brimmed with life. His temples and the thick veins on his neck pulsated, revealing the vigorous beating of his heart.

With one breath,

Chen Hu sprang from his legs, pouncing forward with the speed of a hungry tiger leaping across a ravine. His gray figure stirred up a vigorous wind in the air, wildly swinging his powerful arms and hammering towards Bai Xiao with strength that could punch through steel plates.

Thump! Thump!

Two dull sounds emerged and dissipated quickly.

In that moment, it seemed as if a hand had twice reached out, catching Chen Hu’s punches with the speed of a thunderclap. Chen Hu felt the strength from his swing dissipate as if swallowed by the ocean, leaving no trace.

His heart stirred with shock, his gaze flickered.

His right foot stomped fiercely.

His body spun like a top, whirling rapidly.

With his fingers together like a blade, he sliced through the air instantaneously, using the Rock Tiger Sect’s special burst skill, cutting with at least twice the force as before.

In that attack, Chen Hu also utilized expert Fist Eye Skill, targeting Bai Xiao’s exposed weakness. The hand blade was also infused with power, carrying a chopping force.

To himself, he reasoned that among his fellow sect members, probably only his second and third junior brothers could withstand this move without immediate defeat.

Amidst Chen Hu’s uncertain gaze.

Whoosh!

A hand appeared ten centimeters ahead of the rapidly swinging arc of the hand blade. With a slow-motion illusion contradicting what the eyes saw, it gently pressed towards his hand blade. Chen Hu wanted to change his move but instantly realized he couldn’t dodge it, it was sure to be caught!

As expected.

Bang!

A small ring of pale-white airflow exploded.

Chen Hu’s hand blade, capable of slicing through concrete walls, was firmly grasped by a large hand. Bai Xiao’s sturdy figure did not even shake his shoulders, as if he dispelled all the force effortlessly, immobile.

"You..."

Chen Hu looked up in shock and met Bai Xiao’s calm eyes.

His palm shook violently, pulling free. Chen Hu no longer had any intention to probe; the opponent’s calm and indifferent attitude offended his pride. Rage surged along with the unruly current of Qi-Blood from his torso, endlessly reaching every limb.

"Evil Tiger Fist!"

"Mountain Forest Roar!!!"

Chen Hu struck with all his might, transforming into a man-shaped ferocious tiger, attacking from all angles with tremendous speed.

"Whoosh!" The tiger claw tears.

"Swish!" The hand blade whistles.

"Thump!" The iron fist swings.

His limbs turned into afterimages in an instant, appearing like a hazy gray cloud enveloping Bai Xiao. The Mountain Forest Roar of Evil Tiger Fist was to deliver a hundred violent attacks in the shortest time, creating whistling sounds through fierce strikes, causing the arena to vibrate wildly.

"Roar roar roar roar roar..."

The sound of a roaring tiger echoed from the flurry of punches, stunning the spectators. Especially the other core disciples of the Rock Tiger Sect, witnessing their eldest senior brother fighting so desperately for the first time. His violent form seemed to have completely mastered the essence of the Evil Tiger Fist, reaching a level not far from some of the elders.

"Is Chen Hu forced to use his last resort?"

"This move, even with my horizontal training, I need to avoid its edge in the short term. To withstand it directly means either suffering serious injury or affecting combat power significantly..."

Over at the Steel Bell Sect, a man in a tight-fitting black short sleeve watched the battle, his brows slightly furrowed. He was Lv Tang, the first core of the Steel Bell Sect.

"To break this move, one must counter speed with speed, fight aggression with aggression."

"Though the Secret Martial World in Huai Shui City isn’t as prosperous as in Heng Guang City, the first cores of the sects here are also not to be trifled with. If I were to fight with this Chen Hu, I would at most have a sixty percent chance of victory..."
