Chapter 414: 210 Advance to the Top 8

Almost as soon as the names appeared,

From the audience seats, Crack Water Fist Station.

An elder, dressed in a flamboyant golden practice outfit, and a tall, young man with deep-set facial features, looked towards the big luminous screen and slowly made eye contact.

"Are you confident?"

Master of Split Water Fist Ximen Chen slightly frowned, the black moustache above his lip trembling. He had originally thought that his own apprentice was at least one level stronger than the Fierce Bird Sect’s Bai Xiao. However, Bai Xiao’s astonishing performance in defeating Green Blood Fist Liu Ping had reintroduced uncertainty into this comparison.

"As long as I give it my all, he certainly won’t be my match!"

The nearly six-foot-tall young man, with his rugged and angular facial lines, spoke with a deep breath. His eyes gleamed with a wolfish green light.

Indeed, Bai Xiao had defeated Green Blood Fist Liu Ping, but Lei Yu had also defeated Gale Sect Shen Canghai in the previous round. Both had similar records. In that earlier trial, Lei Yu had suffered a slight disadvantage, primarily because the Dark World Martial Arts Tournament staff were nearby. But this time it was different; this time it was a battle of true strength in the Octagonal Arena, with both sides going all out.

Lei Yu was confident that in this Nanjiang Province Martial Arts tournament, he would not be inferior to anyone!

"Good!"

Master of Split Water Fist Ximen Chen nodded his head in approval.

The pursuit of Martial Arts is to have this kind of confidence. Without the self-belief in being unbeatable, even with outstanding talent, it’s difficult to reach higher levels.

"Go ahead."

He stretched out his hand and patted the strong and sturdy shoulder of Lei Yu.

Instantly, a figure slowly stood up, the golden practice outfit especially striking under the gymnasium’s lighting. All eyes focused on him.

One step at a time, he moved towards the Octagonal Arena.

Two figures, one on the left and one on the right, stood at their designated spots.

"We finally meet, Bai Xiao!"

Lei Yu let out a grin, slightly ferocious, his eyes deep.

"This time, without the Dark World Martial Arts Tournament staff by your side, you won’t be as lucky as last time. Hehehe, just perfect..."

"Let me see how much you’re really worth!"

He spoke harshly, seeming to want to impact Bai Xiao’s mindset. But the cold and silent figure opposite seemed unaffected.

The calm gaze that watched him carried a kind of indifference and detachment. Like a cold-blooded crocodile lying motionless at the water’s edge, watching animals that come to drink. It seemed to make no move, yet an invisible killing intent was already enveloping from all direction, encircling the prey.

Just waiting for a moment, a terrifying roll of death would descend.

At Baihua Gymnasium, the attention of many spectators was focused on this round in the Octagonal Arena. Their eyes shone with excitement, and the corners of their mouths curved slightly upwards. This time, they could finally witness an exciting match.

Judging by the records of the past two days.

Fierce Bird Sect’s Bai Xiao and Crack Water Fist Lei Yu were opponents of the same caliber.

Their strength likely had the potential to vie for the top five in the Martial Arts tournament.

"Sword Art Lover": Lei Yu is going to lose.

"Martial Madness": Yes, he is going to lose.

"Sword Art Lover": How many moves?

"Martial Madness": Hard to say, but Lei Yu is definitely going to lose. Originally, in this Dark World Martial Arts Tournament, if not for the emergence of so many people, Lei Yu had the potential to be in the top five. But first there was Ghost Snake Xie Yang from the Ghost Face Organization, and now there’s the Fierce Bird Sect’s Bai Xiao, the biggest dark horse...

"Sword Art Lover": Hmm, I hope he can hold on for a few more moves, see if he can force Bai Xiao’s hidden strength out and play some role.

As the match was about to start, Southern Border’s twin stars, Shen Canghai and Fang Chao, were silently texting each other on their phones. In just a few words, they’d determined the outcome of the match. The arena hadn’t even begun to fight, yet they had already conceded that Bai Xiao was the certain winner.

"The match begins!"

Next to the arena, a black-clothed referee loudly declared.

However, in the Octagonal Arena, the two figures remained motionless.

Their auras locked onto each other, as if they were observing certain flaws or weaknesses. An increasingly concentrated aura spread within the Octagonal Arena, a thick scent of gunpowder weaving through the air, ready to explode at any friction.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

One after another, muted footsteps echoed in the arena.

Lei Yu slowly stepped forward, his wolf-like green eyes intently fixed on Bai Xiao. His bare palms turned blue-black, the veins visibly bulging, making them appear significantly larger. His forehead and temples showed raised meridians, thumping in rhythm with his heartbeat.

"Whoosh..."

A faint sound of fabric friction came from the opposite side.

Bai Xiao, who had been silent and still, seemed to sway slightly.

"Boom!"

Lei Yu seized the moment and launched an instantaneous attack. Tremendous power erupted from beneath his feet, the special rubber silently splitting like tortoise cracks, forming a shallow indentation. Amidst the sound akin to muffled thunder, Lei Yu darted forward with his Long Step.

"Crack Water Fist!"

He turned into a golden blur, suddenly appearing in front of Bai Xiao. His hands rubbed together, a slanted strike tearing through the air with a clear ripping sound.

"Clang!"

His sharp, steel-like hand knife was blocked by a large and powerful palm at Bai Xiao’s lower jaw. Tiny sparks of golden red flickered at the tip.

"Such a quick reaction..."

Lei Yu’s eyes narrowed as his left hand instantly turned into a blur, moving even faster to pierce towards Bai Xiao’s chest. Crack Water Fist was a genuine Assassination Fist: all techniques aimed to kill, extremely fierce, deadly at every turn, and with an exceptionally fast attack speed, making it very difficult to defend against.
