Inviting Tiger to Possess!
In an instant, his physical presence surged, surprisingly comparable to that of Xu Qing, who had just entered the Tenth Rank with a Qi-Blood level of 6.23. Although Chenzhou was not at the Tenth Rank, his Qi-Blood soared above 5.8, and with the initiation of Tiger Spirit Divine Strike, the difference between them narrowed even more.
His right arm, previously strangled, instantaneously became engorged with blood, ballooning up like a bursting balloon. Muscle bands coiled like dragons, and his Golden Film shone more brightly than ever before.
Xu Qing’s strangling force began to weaken, feeling something amiss, the Snake Form Crafty Hand receded from Lu Chenzhou’s arm like a falling tide. Lu Chenzhou initiated the Yin Yang Umbrella Spin, and as his body somersaulted counterclockwise through the air, Xu Qing’s Snake Form strangling move inadvertently became tensed.
He muttered under his breath, realizing his mistake, that he shouldn’t have initiated the strangle. In an instant, an immense force pulled on him, his arm locked in place, incapable of brute force withdraw without risking a fracture. He could only glide along the oncoming force, stepping sideways and simultaneously deploying his other hand in a Snake Form Crafty Hand towards Lu Chenzhou’s eyes, forcing him to release his grip.
Lu Chenzhou instinctively closed his eyes, his body and muscles retroactively leaning back, evading the crafty hand. He quickly corrected his stance and his solid kick hit Xu Qing’s abdomen. Xu Qing used the Weak Water Hundred Transforming Force to deflect the impact, but his abdomen still churned tumultuously. Lacking Hard Qigong, a kick from an equally skilled fighter was not easy to endure. By then, Xu Qing had freed his strangling hand and hastily retreated, pondering his next move.
Chenzhou, however, did not grant him that opportunity.
In martial combat, when the enemy’s rhythm jumbles, one must strike decisively to break it.
Merging his waist and hips, his legs quivered with Dark Force, every step landing like a landmine detonation, causing the platform to shake incessantly under his immense force. Xu Qing’s Snake Form movement technique primarily relied on sliding steps, extremely agile on flat ground, unpredictable like a spirit snake, but now the quaking platform limited his mobility.
Simultaneously, the prolonged battle activated the platform’s mechanisms, wooden stakes thrusting upward intermittently, further complicating Xu Qing’s movements.
In contrast, Lu Chenzhou stood firmly, his seemingly slow steps always reliably landing on the platform or the wooden stakes, varying in height and direction. Regardless of how the terrain shifted, he was rooted like a tree, each step resonant and resolute!
Xu Qing found himself completely at a disadvantage, like a green snake toyed with by a ferocious tiger, only managing to delay the inevitable by occasional Snake Form Crafty Hand strikes.
Lu Chenzhou steadily pressured forward, excelling in prolonged conflicts, discovering his opponent’s patterns and always devising solutions.
The pair had exchanged five hundred moves.
This was, by far, the longest match to date.
Ji Xuantong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once Chenzhou controlled the pacing, it was the signal for victory. Xu Qing made one mistake, leading to another, now entrapped in a situation with no return.
The classmates were all sweating for Xu Qing.
"Could Xu Qing really lose to Lu Chenzhou?"
"He is at Tenth Rank, after all."
"It’s doubtful... mainly because Chenzhou’s Qi-Blood isn’t just any ordinary Ninth Rank."
The class teacher of Class 2 remarked,
"Yes, that’s the key. Chenzhou also has the advantage of Hard Qigong, and the Tiger Form Fist he trains seems to temporarily boost his presence, likely the notoriously difficult Tiger Spirit Divine Fist. Once activated, it’s like having a god’s assistance.
Thus, the difference in their Qi-Blood narrows even further. Moreover, with Chenzhou’s Hard Qigong protecting his body, his overall strength is inherently superior to Xu Qing.
Had Xu Qing maintained a cautious approach, constantly probing with crafty moves focusing on soft spots, he might have leveraged the agility of his Snake Form to turn weakness into strength... but he underestimated the intensity of Chenzhou’s Hard Qigong, I suspect Chenzhou might have already cultivated the Golden Buddha Arhat Body.
So Xu Qing’s fatal strangle not only failed to give him an advantage, but it also initiated his downfall, not entirely his fault, as Chenzhou is simply too strong."
Who could have thought?
So young, yet already forming the rudimentary Golden Body?
Classmates of the ordinary section sighed dejectedly.
"Everyone in that elite class is a monster."
"We were counting on Xu Qing to go to the main branch to bring us honor."
Just as analyzed by the teacher of Class 2, leveraging his movement technique, another hundred moves passed, and Xu Qing’s slippery form was finally captured by Lu Chenzhou, who with his robust arms encircled from behind, immobilizing Xu Qing’s arms. Crackling sounds erupted from within Xu Qing as he attempted to shrink and escape, but Chenzhou gave no quarter, the explosive Black Tiger Dark Strength erupting as he lifted Xu Qing and smashed him down backward.
Xu Qing’s expression subtly shifted, and the teachers on the platform tensed.

But just when Xu Qing’s head was about to smash into the ground, the motion halted.
Lu Chenzhou gently set him down.
Xu Qing rolled and stood up, then saluted with a fist:
"Brother Lu is superior in skills, I admit defeat."
Lu Chenzhou returned with a smile,
"Thank you for letting me win."
fighting against a Tenth Rank fighter was exhilarating.
It had been a while since he felt this thrill.
It was also his first victory over a Tenth Rank.
On his own, fair and square.
On the shore, Fangshan High School’s cheer squad chanted loudly.
"Chenzhou! Chenzhou! Totally awesome!"
Liu Quanhai lamented continuously,
"Chenzhou has become so unfamiliar."
Damn, why am I only at Fifth Rank.
I’ll work hard to reach Sixth Rank before the Martial Arts college entrance exam.
At least I would be able to make it to ordinary Class 2.
Just entered Ninth Rank Yu Shan reflected,
"Back when I was at Seventh Rank, he was at Fourth...
