Chapter 166 Invitation to Challenge, Leaning Against the Mountain
Huh? There are always bored people every year, but there seem to be more this year than ever! I'm here to study, determined to be a model student, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense.
Xiao Chong's face fell, and he shook his head, saying, "What if I don't agree?"
The young student named Ma Rulong smiled dismissively and said, "Whether you agree or not is not up to you."
Xiao Chong asked curiously, "If I don't accept the challenge, are you going to force me to fight?"
Ma Rulong chuckled and said, "If you insist on refusing to fight, that's fine with you. But according to the rules of Qingfeng Academy, you will lose a lot because of the shame of being cowardly, and the consequences are probably not something you can accept."
"What will be the consequences?" As a freshman who had just enrolled, Xiao Chong really didn't know these rules.
"First, you will automatically lose your position as head of the class and will be managed by a new head of the class from now on."
"Secondly, all kinds of awards in the academy will no longer be relevant to you."
"Third, and most importantly, you will no longer be of high regard to the Master, and you will never have the opportunity to learn many important teachings again."
Ma Rulong explained each point in detail, like a kind senior sharing his experience with a clueless junior.
Xiao Chong knew that the other party was only doing this to force him to accept the challenge, and was not as kind as they seemed on the surface.
But the other person's words were very effective, striking right at the heart of my soul, making it impossible for me to refuse.
Alright, since you're not enjoying your life properly, then I'll grant your wish and stop you from jumping around in front of me, taking yourself too seriously.
With this in mind, Xiao Chong stopped wasting words and asked directly, "I accept your challenge. Right here!"
"Are you genuinely unaware or just pretending?"
Ma Rulong's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "Since it's a challenge, it should be done in public. If we fight randomly here now, that's called a private fight, and we'll be punished according to the academy rules."
"When I beat up Ma Lusheng in the cafeteria, why didn't anyone do anything?" Xiao Chong felt that the other party was bluffing him, with the aim of making him lose face in front of many people.
“When new students don’t get along, there are minor frictions at the beginning, and the teachers naturally turn a blind eye. They also want to take this opportunity to get to the bottom of things.”
In order to ensure the challenge went smoothly, Ma Rulong did his best to answer every question: "But I am different from them. I have been in the academy for more than two years and am considered an old-timer. If I fight you privately, I will definitely be punished."
"Then where do you suggest we hold this?" Having understood the reason, Xiao Chong didn't want to waste any more time and asked directly.
"Judging from your aura, you've only recently entered the Martial Life Realm. You must have expended a lot of your energy in the Iron Man Formation. I'm a realm higher than you, so I don't want to take advantage of you."
Ma Rulong thought for a moment and said, "How about we settle our differences in three days at the Qingfeng Dojo? There are special arrangements there that can suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours."
“Alright, then let’s fight again in three days!” Xiao Chong replied without hesitation.
"I hope you won't disappoint me too much." Seeing that Xiao Chong had agreed, Ma Rulong said no more, lifted his foot, and leisurely walked towards the third floor of the Trial Tower.
"I will never let you down, I will give you a big surprise gift!" Watching the other party disappear around the corner of the passage, Xiao Chong spat inwardly, withdrew his gaze, and focused his attention back on the Iron Man Formation.
Ma Rulong had just reminded himself that the easiest way to get past this formation was to use elusive footwork to evade the Iron Man's attacks.
But Xiao Chong didn't see it that way. What difference was there between that and running away in the face of battle? He thought the coolest thing to do was to fight directly. After all, his strength lay in his physical prowess, while agility was his weakness.
After making full preparations, Xiao Chong took a deep breath, mobilized his internal energy to fill his entire body, and slowly stepped into the Iron Man Formation again.
call!
Just like last time, Iron Man punched him straight in the chest.
Want to compete with me in strength? Then I'll play with you properly! Xiao Chong neither dodged nor evaded, his eyes fixed on the path of the Iron Man's fist, and he also threw a punch.
boom!
The iron fist collided with the fleshy fist, producing a loud bang as the air exploded.
Pain! It was more than just ordinary pain! Xiao Chong gasped, forcibly suppressing a cry.
The Iron Man gave him no chance to breathe, his punches becoming faster and faster, like a storm. Meanwhile, the Iron Man behind him joined the fray.
Xiao Chong dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately focused his attention, keeping his eyes and ears open, and seized the opportunity to strike with both hands, meeting force with force and speed with speed.
After a short while, having begun to adapt to the speed of the two iron men, Xiao Chong began to parry while tentatively moving towards the next group of iron men.
The second group of Ironmen was even faster, almost twice as fast as the first group.
Based on the painful lesson he learned when he first broke into the Iron Man Formation, Xiao Chong knew that after each group of Iron Men he passed, the next group would be twice as fast as the previous one.
This speed increase is exponential, and by the time the ninth group of Iron Men arrives, their speed will be astonishing. With my current martial arts skills, being able to hold my own against the second group of Iron Men is already my limit; by the third group, I'll be on the defensive.
As for the fourth group and beyond, it was a one-sided situation, and they couldn't escape being brutally beaten no matter what.
But now that we're in, we have to get through it to complete the trial. What kind of person would give up halfway?
While dealing with the relentless attacks of the second group of iron men, Xiao Chong secretly made his plans.
After much thought, I realized my greatest strength is my robust physique. Perhaps I should focus more on developing that? Yes, that's it!
Dodging the kick from the Iron Man in front of him, Xiao Chong braced his elbow backward, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and blocked the Iron Man's fist behind him. Then, he gritted his teeth and lunged at the Iron Man in front of him.
boom!
With a deafening crash, he slammed into the iron man before him. His chest felt like it had been struck by a massive hammer; the intense pain made his breathing slightly erratic, and his energy flow somewhat sluggish.
But Iron Man didn't care about any of that. Taking advantage of Xiao Chong's slight lapse in concentration, he delivered two consecutive heavy kicks that sent him flying out of the formation.
However, the impact was not without effect. While in the air, he vaguely heard a faint, almost imperceptible sound coming from the iron man, similar to the sound of bubbles bursting in water.
There is a play!
Xiao Chong's spirits lifted, and after regulating his breathing, he leaped up again.
boom!
Xiao Chong's chest collided with the Iron Man again, and he was kicked out of the Iron Man formation once more.
boom!
It crashed again, and flew again.
……
After countless attempts, when Xiao Chong collided with the iron man again, something inside the iron man seemed to break, making a soft "crack" sound before suddenly stopping.
"It's done! If we can't overcome a thousand pounds with skill, then we'll use brute force to defeat ten techniques!"
"Such a domineering move deserves a name that matches it, so let's call it... Mountain-Pulling Lean!"
Xiao Chong was secretly pleased and took out a Yuan Power Card to replenish the Yuan Power that was about to be depleted in his body.
Yuanli Card is such a high-end product, it's really useful. In just a short while, my body, which was almost falling apart, was full of energy again.
Feeling completely at ease, Xiao Chong confidently strode towards the remaining iron man in the third group, unaware that he had committed another crime: the iron man formation was about to be destroyed.
