Chapter 917: Chapter 889: Martial Dao Heart

At this moment, the people below the stage were all staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

What’s happening?

Just moments ago, Li Chen, who was being suppressed so thoroughly that he barely had any ability to fight back, suddenly turned the tables and won?

They didn’t understand, and similarly, Ji Changfeng on the other side of the arena didn’t understand either.

At first, he thought this would be a hard-fought battle.

Originally, he believed he might be able to assist Li Chen, but he hadn’t expected that as soon as the match started, he’d be sent flying with a single kick and played no role in the fight whatsoever from beginning to end.

All he could do was quietly hope for a miracle to happen in his heart.

And yet, while he was still praying, the miracle really did happen.

Moreover, it happened so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the battle was over.

As simple as eating or drinking water, two Mystic Level Intermediate martial artists were effortlessly dealt with by Li Chen.

"What kind of strength does he have...?" Many people had their mouths wide open, as if their jaws were about to unhinge.

They had witnessed battles where Mystic Level Advanced fought Mystic Level Intermediate.

Of course, even with the difference of one rank in strength, a Mystic Level Advanced warrior would still need to spend some effort to deal with a Mystic Level Intermediate opponent.

Let alone handling two of them.

But in front of Li Chen, these two Mystic Level Intermediate martial artists were like inexperienced Yellow Rank newcomers, casually tossed aside. This... is he still just Mystic Level Advanced?

"Number Thirty-Five wins!"

After a long pause, the referee finally snapped out of it, shouted loudly, and struck the battered gong beside him.

Li Chen led Ji Changfeng off the stage slowly.

Wherever they passed, the crowd automatically made way for them.

This was the intimidation of a strong fighter. Li Chen’s battle earlier had undeniably shocked them.

Not far away, a figure hid in the shadows, silently observing Li Chen’s back. A peculiar glint flickered in their eyes before they disappeared into the darkness.

"Hmm?" Li Chen slightly turned his head.

Although he knew plenty of people were watching him now, he had just sensed an unusual gaze.

"Forget it." Shaking his head, Li Chen pulled Ji Changfeng along and left.

He didn’t want to linger here, becoming a spectacle for others.

As soon as they returned to the inn, Ji Changfeng couldn’t hold back and dashed straight into Li Chen’s room.

"Brother Li! You’re so strong!" Ji Changfeng’s face was brimming with excitement as he looked at Li Chen.

Thanks to Elder Ji, Ji Changfeng had encountered many powerful figures. Although he hadn’t seen an Earth-level expert fight, he had seen plenty of Mystic Rank warriors.

But he was certain that none of the Mystic Rank warriors he had met could compare to Li Chen.

With two clean, decisive moves, two Mystic Level Intermediate opponents were thrown out like ordinary novices.

"Not bad, I suppose." Seeing Ji Changfeng’s expression, Li Chen felt a headache brewing.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have opened the door and let this kid in.

"Um... Brother Li, how on earth did you train? How did you get so strong? I’ve never seen anyone stronger than you in my life! Can you tell me how you trained?" Ji Changfeng blurted out a string of questions.

"Stop, stop, stop..." Li Chen quickly raised his hand and spoke loudly.

"Can you ask me one thing at a time?" Li Chen said, rubbing his temple.

"Okay, okay..." Ji Changfeng nodded rapidly, then quietly asked, "Um, Brother Li, do you accept disciples?"

Li Chen: "..."

...

"He dealt with the Wuu Family brothers in a single round?" The Market Master, seated cross-legged on a stone platform, displayed a peculiar expression.

"Liang Qi, tell me, if it were you, could you do the same?"

Liang Qi’s figure seemed exceptionally obscure, with half of his body hidden in the shadows, as if he might vanish at any moment.

Upon hearing the Market Master’s question, Liang Qi slightly focused his spirit: "I couldn’t do it alone, but if I teamed up with Luu Chen, it might be possible."

The Market Master nodded faintly upon hearing this: "I see. It seems our new friend is quite extraordinary."

"What do you mean by that, Market Master?"

"Let’s observe him further. Don’t be hasty for now." The Market Master nodded and resumed meditating, his black, long hair suddenly floating gently in the breeze.

"This is a marketplace. The purpose of our marketplace is to facilitate martial artist exchanges. As long as he harbors no malicious intent, we have no need to target him. However, we do need to pay attention to this person’s identity," the Market Master explained.

"For the next few days, you don’t need to stay in the marketplace. Go out into the external world and various enchanted realms to inquire about whether anyone knows of someone like this."

"I believe, with a strength like his, unless he’s been living a secluded life like one of those old monsters, surely someone must know of him?" A faint smile played across the Market Master’s face.

"Understood!"

Liang Qi bowed respectfully to the Market Master and then disappeared into the shadows in a flash.

"Liang Qi’s Shadowless Step is becoming more and more refined," the Market Master said with a subtle, inscrutable smile as he watched the vanishing figure.

"But even Liang Qi isn’t confident about confronting this man. Could it be that an Earth-level old monster has decided to drop by my place unannounced? If it really is an Earth-level elder, then why wouldn’t they directly approach me?"

After a long time, the Market Master shook his head and chuckled: "It seems I’ll have to see for myself to confirm the situation."

Amidst the entirety of the marketplace’s anticipation, the battles quickly resumed the next day.

This time, Li Chen and Ji Changfeng faced opponents with a similar lineup: one strong and one weak.

The weaker one only had Yellow Rank strength.

But even the stronger one was only Mystic Level Intermediate.

Interestingly, much to Li Chen’s surprise, the pair didn’t admit defeat outright upon meeting them but insisted on continuing the match.

"Brother Li, greetings. Having witnessed your incredible match against the Wuu Family brothers yesterday, I deeply admire your skill. Though I understand we’re likely not your match, as martial artists, we cannot lose the Martial Dao Heart that moves us forward. Brother Li, please guide us!"

The middle-aged man at Mystic Level Intermediate gazed at Li Chen and adopted a combat stance.

Standing beside the man was a woman, the two appearing to be husband and wife.

Looking at them, Li Chen’s face unconsciously revealed a hint of admiration.

Indeed! As martial artists, how could one lose their Martial Dao Heart?

Sometimes, certain battles are unavoidable.

If you can’t even admit defeat, why practice martial arts at all?

Training is nothing but a gradual journey of becoming stronger.

A smile played across Li Chen’s lips: "Changfeng, that woman’s yours."
