Chapter 295 Invincible Unarmed, Returning to Peak!

Before leaving the villa, Sun Mo used the Soul Imprint to strike the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands’ essence into Li Ziqi’s brain.

The little sunny egg was completely uninterested in fighting and killing. If it wasn’t because she wished to follow Sun Mo, she would definitely not come to the battle hall.

Right now, Li Ziqi had her mind full of spirit runes that were filled with a modern kind of beauty. When she heard Lu Zhiruo’s surprised gasp, she immediately looked up and toward the arena.

There’d always be a few influential characters in each school, either having positive or negative reputations.

Cai Tan had been the top dog amongst the new students, having passed the examination in his first year. After entering the battle hall, he had climbed up all the way to tenth place.

Just as everyone thought that Cai Tan would become a flag for the Central Province Academy, he was crippled. He became Shang Zhongyong and then, half a year ago, was defeated by a new student. He had fallen to the very bottom.

Cai Tan was the greatest joke in the Central Province Academy this year. There was the saying that the greater the love, the greater the hate. All of the third-year students were clenching their teeth at him. “Why has Cai Tan come? Hasn’t he humiliated us enough?”

“If it was me, I wouldn’t be able to accept it either!”

“This is that Cai Tan? He looks quite handsome!”

Some first-year female students were seeing Cai Tan for the first time. When they saw that it was such a handsome guy, they suddenly started to feel worried for him.

It was a lie when girls claimed that they loved you for who you were. Without a good-looking external appearance, they couldn’t be bothered to spend the time to understand your existence.

“Cai Tan?”

Tang Ming stood on the arena. When he saw that his opponent was Cai Tan, he was a little stunned. “Why have you come?”

“Of course I’ll be climbing back up from where I fell!”

Cai Tan’s tone was calm.

“Heh!”

Tang Ming didn’t wish to say anything more. (You want to climb back up? Wouldn’t that mean that you’ll have to defeat me? I admit, the you from one year ago was a genius, an opponent that I might not necessarily win even if I were to try my utmost. But now…)

“Are both of you ready?”

Zhu Ting asked.

“There’s no need for preparations!”

Tang Ming raised his chin slightly, wearing strong arrogance in his gaze. This was how confident he was to be placed in the thirteenth place of the battle hall.

“I am!”

Cai Tan nodded.

“I’ll repeat this again, do not overdo things! Please greet each other!”

After Zhu Ting said that, he backed off.

“Tang Ming, spirit-refinement realm, opened up 45 acupoints! Please give me your guidance!”

If it was any other time, Tang Ming would greet while moving into his stance at the same time. But there wasn’t a need to do that today. It was because his opponent was too weak.

“Cai Tan, spirit-refinement realm, opened up 32 acupoints! Please give me your guidance!”

Cai Tan cupped his hands together.

Hua!

Hearing Cai Tan’s words, the students who were spectating in the hall broke into a commotion, their gazes a little astonished.

Cai Tan was a third-year student. This meant that he was 15 years old. To think that he had already opened up 32 acupoints, it was no wonder he had been the strongest amongst the third-year students back then!

Hearing the surprise gasps from the surroundings, Ruan Yun was instantly filled with regret and self-reprimand. Ever since she had drugged Cai Tan, he had been stuck at the same cultivation base.

If it wasn’t because of her interference, how strong would he be now?

If it wasn’t for her, he’d definitely be enjoying the admiration and envy from everyone, not contempt and slander.

Tears trickled down Ruan Yun’s face. She covered her face and prayed to the sky, “God, please let Cai Tan win. I’m willing to sacrifice ten years of my life for this!”

When Tang Ming heard the gasps from the audience, his eyelids twitched a little and he felt displeased. It was because he knew that he was now a foil to bring out Cai Tan’s excellence.

Although he had opened 13 more acupoints compared to Cai Tan, he was three years older than him as well. In consideration of this, he was not comparable to Cai Tan! “Calm down, Tang Ming. You’ve spent all your time training your blade technique and don’t value the increment of cultivation base as much. After you’ve reached the major-completion stage of your blade technique, you’ll be able to level up naturally.”

Tang Ming consoled himself, took in a deep breath, and held onto his blade with one hand. “Can we start now?”

“Anytime!”

Cai Tan reached out his hands, one to the front and one to the back. He faced both palms toward the sky, assuming a starting pose.

“Hmmm? Barehanded?”

The first-year female students were all very surprised.

“Cai Tan’s Star Seizing Hand was very amazing!”

A senior student explained, “Back then, he was an existence known as the ‘Invincible Unarmed’.”

Hearing this, another round of gasps rang out. Invincible Unarmed? Wasn’t this too much of an exaggeration?

“That’s right, it’s a pity that we can’t see it anymore!”

Quite a number of senior students who had seen Cai Tan in a battle before wore regretful expressions. The Cai Tan from his peak was handsome and powerful, and his ability to attract fans was invincible.

Tang Ming moved. His body stayed low and he exerted force in both legs, darting out like a praying mantis.

Swoosh!

Tang Ming appeared in front of Cai Tan. He channeled force in his right arm, drew out his blade, and fought fiercely!

Blade Unsheathed Slash! “Die!”

Tang Ming was going to finish this as quickly as he could. He was going to let these people know that the powerful Cai Tan was a thing of the past. Right now, this was his era.

“So fast!”

The spectators who were close to the arena subconsciously leaned back. It was because Tang Ming was too fast in drawing his blade. A dash of silver light flashed as if it was going to slash on their faces.

This was like how one would subconsciously dodge backward when seeing a scary scene in a horror movie. This was human instinct.

Cai Tan’s expression was calm. He didn’t move his legs, but his right hand flicked out rapidly.

Pa!

At the next instant, the silver blade light seemed to have knocked into a big mountain, disappearing without a trace.

“What?”

Tang Ming was surprised. Being known as ‘Swift Blade’, he was very confident about his speed. How could Cai Tan be faster than himself?

“Senior Tang Ming, your blade is a little slow!”

Cai Tan grabbed onto Tang Ming’s wrist and frowned slightly. He wasn’t sneering at Tang Ming, but the latter turned out to be easier to deal with than he had expected! (F*ck you!)

Tang Ming cursed in his heart and suddenly exerted more force with his right arm. He abruptly broke free from Cai Tan’s grip and repeatedly slashed with his blade, slashing out 18 blade shadows toward Cai Tan’s various vital spots.

Cai Tan was dauntless and kept on flicking out his hands.

Pa pa pa! Each time they collided, a blade shadow would dissipate. In an instant, Tang Ming’s attack was slowly broken down, and he was poked in the chest.

Tang Ming immediately felt stuffy and couldn’t stand steadily. He stumbled one step back.

“This is bad!”

Tang Ming was very shocked and immediately assumed a defensive position. To his surprise, Cai Tan didn’t take the opportunity to launch a round of fierce attacks. Instead, he stood on the spot and went into a daze while looking at his hands.

After being stunned for a moment, fury appeared on Tang Ming’s face. (Damn it! He’s looking down on me!)

This situation tended to only appear when a strong person was giving guidance to someone weaker.

“Arrogant!”

Tang Ming let out an explosive bellow and attacked Cai Tan like a fierce tempest.

He had misunderstood Cai Tan.

Cai Tan knew that after receiving Sun Mo’s living blood technique treatment, his body had recovered. However, it had been over half a year since he had battled and he was also feeling hesitant, worried that things wouldn’t go well. However, he now discovered that he was stronger than he had expected.

A feeling of confidence started to rise in Cai Tan’s heart!

When he looked up once again toward Tang Ming, he became increasingly at ease and struck out with his ultimate attack!

White Hand Seizing Stars!

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Each of Cai Tan’s attacks was launched later but reached earlier, accurately hitting on Tang Ming’s wrist, causing his slash to not be able to go through.

This was like how a tidal wave was just about to rise when it was scattered by a big invisible hand.

“Didn’t they say that Cai Tan is crippled? Why is he this strong?”

The first-year students were all surprised. How was this crippled? He was clearly extremely strong! The senior students were all stunned. Why did they have the feeling that Cai Tan was stronger than before?

Some girls didn’t think so much. They only felt that Cai Tan was extremely cool, and his movements looked extremely beautiful. It was as if he wasn’t fighting but was dancing.

Sun Mo wasn’t surprised to see Cai Tan suppressing Tang Ming.

Tang Ming’s moniker, Swift Blade, was only describing his cultivation art. His agility was actually mediocre. However, Cai Tan’s Star Seizing Hand emphasized on quick attacks, and his agility was the most outstanding amongst all his data.

Of course, Cai Tan would also crush Tang Ming without an issue just in terms of their potential value.

Tang Ming was a little higher than ‘high’, while Tang Ming was ‘extremely high’!

The two of them might seem close, but they were in fact worlds apart.

There were two to three hundred students in the entire Central Province Academy who had a potential value that was ‘a little higher than high’. However, only less than 10 had an extremely high potential value!

“No, this mustn’t continue on!”

When Tang Ming noticed that he was about to lose, a feeling of worry rose. Not only would it mean that he’d have to leave the battle hall, but he’d also become the stepping stone for Cai Tan’s uprise.

This situation was something he couldn’t accept.

At the thought of this, Tang Ming decisively performed his ultimate move.

Tang Ming’s aptitude was very good as well. If it was someone else in his shoes, they’d likely try to pull back. However, after having exchanged several tens of moves, Tang Ming knew that he wouldn’t be able to win against Cai Tan with ordinary moves.

It was a pity that Cai Tan was one-step quicker; he had been waiting long ago. Just as Tang Ming’s ultimate technique was about to be completed, Cai Tan unleashed his trump card.

Varied Clouds, Flying Stars Circulating Hatred

[1]

Cai Tan’s right hand seemed to barge through spacetime, disappearing from Tang Ming’s sight in an instant. Before nervousness and panic appeared on Tang Ming’s face, he already felt an intense pain in his chest.

Bang!

Tang Ming’s ribs broke and he was sent flying off the arena, sending dust flying

The entire hall instantly became silent.

Everyone’s gaze was gathered on Cai Tan, including those of surprise, curiosity, and doubt!

After looking at the battle situation, some people had guessed that Cai Tan might win, but they didn’t expect him to be winning the battle so quickly!

Tang Ming was ranked thirteenth in the battle hall after all. How could he be defeated so quickly? How could this make sense?

Zhu Ting, who was acting as the referee, was stunned as well. Was something wrong? This Shang Zhongyong had managed to turn the tables around? What on earth happened to him over the past half a year or more? Cai Tan stood on the spot, looking at his hands. He then turned and noticed everyone’s gaze. Those surprised and unfathomable faces looked a little funny!

(Is it so unbelievable that I’ve won?)

Cai Tan’s lips twitched as he thought of this in self-mockery. He knew that this was unbelievable, but thereafter he looked toward Sun Mo who was amongst the crowd. All of this was given to him by Teacher Sun!

Without Sun Mo, there wouldn’t be a reborn him.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Cai Tan +500. Friendly (845/1,000).
