Chapter 352: Chapter 348: Ruthless Strike

"The challenge begins!"

As the Deacon of the second Dragon Head Arena, Thousand Illusion Eagle King, announced, Human Bear Cha Hai, on one side of the arena, sprang out like a fired crossbow cannon, blasting towards his opponent—a Swordsman from the Spirit Transformation Realm Third Stage!

Human Bear Cha Hai’s launch speed was too fast, the whistling sound of cutting through the air was even about to tear people’s eardrums.

The sound of the air being shattered caused the complexions of the Martial Artists watching below to change drastically, even several martial artists from the Soul Sea Realm showed a touch of surprise in their eyes.

With their experience, they naturally discerned that Human Bear Cha Hai’s launch speed had surpassed their limit and was even comparable to the speed of a martial artist from the Soul Sea Realm.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, a gauntlet shone brightly before the Swordsman from the Spirit Transformation Realm Third Stage and struck him fiercely in the face.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen shook his head gently. The Swordsman from the Spirit Transformation Realm Third Stage was destined to lose.

Once Human Bear Cha Hai got close, without extremely strong defensive capabilities or heaven-reaching techniques, it was very difficult to withstand the onslaught.

Furthermore, after just two punches, the Protective Gang Qi of the Swordsman was shattered by Human Bear Cha Hai.

In an instant, Human Bear Cha Hai resembled a wild beast adept at close combat, utilizing elbow strikes, leg sweeps, body wraps, finger locks, shoulder bumps, and more. Every joint and even every bone became his most powerful weapon.

It was fortunate that Cha Hai only had one arm; otherwise, the Swordsman who was already dizzy from Cha Hai’s barrage of attacks might have had his head twisted off by now.

Bang!

A back kick exploded with an intense wave of Spiritual Power, sending the Swordsman from the Spirit Transformation Realm Third Stage flying out of the Dragon Head Arena uncontrollably, the sound of his ribs fracturing stirring shock among the watching Martial Artists.

The Martial Artists who had just ridiculed and insulted Human Bear Cha Hai quietly closed their mouths, continuously swallowing their saliva, masking the nervousness in their hearts.

How could a guy from the Spirit Transformation Realm First Stage be so terrifying?

Many people now saw Cha Hai in a different light, and the level of caution towards him rose several levels instantly.

Of course, that was the reaction of most people.

A small group of even more attentive Martial Artists had their scrutinizing gaze turned towards Ye Zhen.

If Human Bear Cha Hai was already so frightening, how powerful must Ye Zhen be to make Human Bear Cha Hai concede voluntarily?

This was the second round of the group draw competition, and Ye Zhen’s gaze did not linger on this arena but constantly shifted among the other arenas.

On Arena five, the figure of Mo Xinsui, the Young Master of Hidden God Manor who had just entered the stage, attracted Ye Zhen’s attention.

Ye Zhen wanted to collect as much information as possible about these seeded players before the final battle to prepare for his future fights.

However, the situation on the platform disappointed Ye Zhen.

This battle had ended as soon as it started.

With just one sword strike, Mo Xinsui had sent his opponent from the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage flying. He didn’t even use a sword move; Ye Zhen only sensed strong fluctuations of Spiritual Power but gained nothing else.

"It seems that the group draw competition is unlikely to make them reveal their hidden strengths..."

Despite his disappointment, Ye Zhen did not give up observing. With careful observation, he could still collect some useful information, such as speed and the characteristics of Spiritual Power.

"Next battle, Rong Yinian versus Ye Zhen!"

Rong Yinian, whose Cultivation was as high as the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage, drew Ye Zhen, which made Ye Zhen feel somewhat unlucky for always being picked by others.

On the contrary, Rong Yinian’s face revealed a trace of delight.

From the public’s view, a martial artist from the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage drawing one from the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage indeed was considered lucky.

There were many who challenged beyond one minor stage of Cultivation difference, but very few could successfully challenge beyond two minor stages.

With about seventy-five people in the second group and only thirty-six battles to be fought, drawing weaker opponents was indeed a pleasing matter.

When Ye Zhen stepped onto the Dragon Head Arena in response, the Qi around his body fluctuated, and he felt at least six sets of sharp and unusual gazes fix on him.

"It seems not only am I observing my opponents, but they are also observing me!"

"Brother Ye, may I propose a deal?"

Suddenly, Rong Yinian on the Dragon Head Arena spoke up.

"Speak?"

Honestly, Ye Zhen wasn’t very fond of such pointless talk on the arena.

"We’re going through thirty-six battles in two days of the group draw competition, which is extremely draining. It’s not feasible to fight with all our strength in every battle! Therefore, when we face opponents with a huge difference in strength, it’s better to concede and conserve energy." Rong Yinian said.

"Hmm? You’re conceding?"

Rong Yinian’s face, full of expectation, was almost distorted with frustration at Ye Zhen’s response.

Him concede?

What a joke!

Would he, a martial artist from the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage, concede to one from the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage?

Ye Zhen, aren’t you a bit too full of yourself?

"Brother, if you’re going to be so ungrateful, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Rong Yinian’s face instantly darkened.

"You talk too much!" Ye Zhen stretched lazily with exasperation.

"Seeking death!"

With a fierce shout, Rong Yinian’s spear flickered, sending out a myriad of spear lights stabbing towards every part of Ye Zhen.

The two words ’seeking death’ made Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turn cold; the hand holding the Profound Yang Sword loosened slightly.

Originally, Ye Zhen approached this with the mindset of making friends through martial arts, but now he had given up on allowing this fellow to step down with dignignity.

As the many points of spear light stabbed towards him, Ye Zhen’s figure remained unshakably still, standing there as resolute as a mountain or the ocean, seemingly ready to let Rong Yinian strike him.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Countless sparks burst forth from Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spirit Armor, which remained undamaged, while Rong Yinian’s spear light was completely extinguished.

As Rong Yinian’s face showed an expression of utter shock, Ye Zhen’s transfigured two giant hands of Spiritual Power lightly tapped and captured Rong Yinian, then Ye Zhen’s knee, filled with Red Jade Spiritual Power, fiercely smashed into Rong Yinian’s face!

Bang bang bang!

One after another, heavy, powerful knee strikes bombarded Rong Yinian’s face.

At first, Rong Yinian managed to endure by relying on his Protective Spirit Force, but within a few moments, Ye Zhen’s knee strikes were like illusions, striking over a hundred times within a single breath, directly shattering Rong Yinian’s Protective Spirit Force.

Even after breaking through Rong Yinian’s Protective Spirit Force, Ye Zhen’s knee continued to violently smash into his face four or five more times.

The sound of nasal and facial bones breaking, a cringe-inducing noise, could be heard, and that was due to Rong Yinian being at the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage.

If it had been an ordinary martial artist, his facial bones would have been smashed to pieces, utterly disfiguring him.

Bang!

A few moments later, Rong Yinian was thrown off the Dragon Head Arena by Ye Zhen like a dead fish, with a collapsed nose bridge, broken facial bones, his face covered in blood, and all his front teeth gone, completely transformed.

However, as gruesome as the injuries looked, they were not fatal.

As for why he looked like a dead fish, it was mainly because Rong Yinian had been knocked unconscious by Ye Zhen’s knee strikes.

Ye Zhen’s knee strike, with a pure force of over ten thousand pounds, would make even a strong warrior of the Soul Sea Realm feel dizzy with just a few hits to the head.

In an instant, the thousands of martial artists watching around Dragon Head Arena number two were all dumbfounded.

This was the most brutal fight they had seen among martial artists of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Ye Zhen wins! Next!"

Accompanied by the somewhat reluctant voice of Thousand Illusion Eagle King, the onlooking martial artists woke up from their stupor, and the sound of collectively gasping could be heard as they saw the still-twitching body of Rong Yinian.

Now, they began to understand why Human Bear Cha Hai chose to forfeit against Ye Zhen previously.

Putting other methods aside, just the sheer strength of his Protective Spirit Force was enough.

Especially the martial artists in the second group, their expressions when looking at Ye Zhen turned incredibly cautious.

Some even started to feel relieved, thankful that they hadn’t drawn Ye Zhen, otherwise...

With the help of his sect’s elders, Rong Yinian quickly got up. His elders wanted to scold Ye Zhen but, after a glance at Ye Zhen, Rong Yinian swiftly returned to his side and dared not look at Ye Zhen again.

Too frightening!

In front of Ye Zhen, he was like an ant, an ant with no power to resist.

Ridiculous, he actually had thoughts of having Ye Zhen surrender to him.

If Rong Yinian knew the reason why Ye Zhen had been so ruthless, he probably would have cried.

"This guy, truly is a formidable opponent..." Mo Xinsui’s expression was complex, having observed only one fight and noticing just how strong Ye Zhen’s defensive capabilities were, but even that was giving him a headache.

"It seems that Uncle-Master was right, Ye Zhen’s Spirit Armor is terribly powerful! If Uncle-Master hadn’t warned me to be prepared, I fear..."

It was not until then that Hand Extreme Bu Changtian finally exhaled. From the moment Ye Zhen made his move, he had been holding his breath, observing every detail so as not to miss anything.

"Super strong defense, huh? When the most impregnable shield meets the sharpest spear, what will the outcome be?" In the distance, Yem Yuan suddenly cracked a smile, revealing a set of fierce white teeth.

As for Tao Hui and his fellow disciples from Sword Origin Sect, they simultaneously bowed their heads, pondering what level of attack was required to break through Ye Zhen’s Spirit Armor.

The reward from the Sect Leader was tempting, but just the most basic demonstration of Ye Zhen’s Defensive Spirit Armor had already posed a huge problem for them.

When Ye Zhen stepped down from the Dragon Head Arena, the watching martial artists by the arena spontaneously and quickly cleared a path for him.

This was the treatment for the strong; the display Ye Zhen had just given had intimidated everyone.

Effortlessly overpowering a martial artist of the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage, even with only a Second Stage Cultivation, he was undoubtedly a powerhouse.

Ye Zhen had not expected that his ruthless attack would bring him such benefits.

But what Ye Zhen had not foreseen was the chain reaction that his ruthless move against Rong Yinian would trigger! (To be continued.
