would fail at least ten times but each time, he only failed twice before succeeding," Su Mei Yao was very happy inside. But she pouted and said flirtatiously, “This has nothing to do with you”"Of cour...Chapter 355 - Resurgence Against Xiao Chou (Part Down)
As Shen Xiang appeared, the square fell silent.
Tonight he had meticulously dressed himself up, radiating a heroic aura.
Shen Xiang's handsome face had clear outlines, his eyes like the stars in the night sky flickering with determination. A faint smile played across his lips, making him even more charming. His body was wrapped in a black skin-tight outfit, looking very strong and exuding a powerful masculinity. His charm was all-encompassing, making some of the women in the audience silently admire him.
Seeing this extraordinary man appear, those martial artists from overseas whispered amongst themselves. They had seen Shen Xiang's portrait before but not his true self. Now, experiencing the extraordinary aura emanating from Shen Xiang, they all felt that he was different from what the portrait suggested. Many people knew that Shen Xiang had once defeated Xiao Chou, but the逍遙仙海 had spread false rumors, claiming that they had ended in a tie and that Shen Xiang relied on luck. It made Shen Xiang laugh bitterly when逍遙仙海 claimed that Xiao Chou had been injured before the match.
Many people believed this, especially those who had been defeated by Xiao Chou. When they learned that Shen Xiang's cultivation was lower than Xiao Chou's, they were even more convinced. There were quite a few among them who had higher cultivation levels than Xiao Chou, but they still suffered defeats, so they believed in those rumors.
Xiao Zilang smiled on the side. This time, it was his turn with an elder from逍遙仙海, and together with Gudong Chen and Wu Kaoming, they had set up the formation. Even if the square was destroyed, it wouldn't be his responsibility. Moreover, he had great confidence in defeating Xiao Chou this time; there wouldn't be a second failure after the first.
"Shen Xiang, you cowardly turtle, finally out of hiding!" Xiao Chou shouted with his baby voice.
Looking at this little kid in front of him, Shen Xiang secretly smiled. He used Long Xu'e's words: "He is just a kid, beat him up."
"You used underhanded tricks last time and defeated me when I was severely injured, so that fight doesn't count!" Xiao Chou roared.
Everyone in the audience watched quietly. Although this was only a battle between two True Martial Realm warriors, the powerful Patriarchs from the涅槃 Realm were very much looking forward to it. After all, this was a clash between the strongest young people in the Chenwu Continent, and Xiao Chou had defeated many of their outstanding disciples.
Since Xiao Chou was from the Great Power Clan, they didn't feel ashamed. After all, they were normal humans, but it was hard for them to believe that a human could beat the Great Power Clan. Therefore, they were intent on watching this fight closely.
Shen Xiang smiled, "Kids lying is not good!"
"I'm hundreds of years old, even you're no match for my grandson!" Xiao Chou hated it when people called him a kid, especially since Shen Xiang was the one who defeated him.
"Haha, if you were my son, I wouldn't mind, come and call me dad!" Shen Xiang chuckled. This led to a burst of laughter in the audience.
Xiao Chou's body trembled with anger. It was surprising that Xiao Chou managed to calm down despite being enraged, which left Shen Xiang taken aback. He had noticed Xiao Chou's tendency to get angry easily before, and now he saw him cultivating a large brush.
On one side of the square, Xue Xiaoxian hid her face behind a white veil as she whispered, "Master, did Little Brother Xiang really use tricks to defeat this little punk last time"
Xue Xiaoxian and Yin Youlan were there, having witnessed Xiao Chou's battles firsthand. Although they were strong themselves, they believed that they could only match Xiao Chou in terms of cultivation. They didn't have much confidence in winning.
Lu Meng'er thought for a moment and said, "We can't say it was tricks. It's just that Shen Xiang has a formidable martial art that can cause mental damage to the opponent. Now, Xiao Chou is so confident, suggesting he has a way to overcome it! When they fought last time, Shen Xiang's strength was indeed far less than Xiao Chou's, which is why Xiao Chou lost reluctantly.
Shen Xiang also lost reluctantly. He felt that the previous fight wasn't a true victory because he was weaker in strength compared to Xiao Chou. Therefore, this time he wanted to make up for it or else wouldn't accept the challenge.
If not for the formation still needing completion, Xiao Chou would have already acted.
Xiao Chou's strength remained unchanged, while Shen Xiang had advanced from the True Martial Realm 5th Stage to the 7th Stage. Now, he was even stronger than before because he had just returned from training in the forbidden area under Huang Jintian's harsh cultivation.
Xiao Chou didn't know that Shen Xiang had suddenly become much stronger. It was impossible for him to imagine that a person could advance two levels within a few months. This didn't fit common logic.
Shen Xiang couldn't use the True Qi Earth and Heaven because there were too many涅槃 Realm warriors around him. If they identified that strange Qi, they might suspect he was the disciple of Huang Jintian.
Xiao Zilang knew this, but he dared not say it. He feared the consequences of revealing it. Now, he guessed that Shen Xiang was hesitant to use the Earth and Heaven Qi of the Five Elements because it was one reason he had called so many涅槃 Realm warriors to watch this match.
The formation was now complete. Four涅槃 Realm warriors released their strength, covering the central area of the square with a transparent dome that protected the easily damaged tiles underground.
"Begin!" Gudong Chen shouted. Although he couldn't see how much stronger Shen Xiang was, he knew that Shen Xiang had trained in hell-like conditions for a month. He was concerned because right now, it would be very easy for Shen Xiang to expose his Earth and Heaven Qi if he used them.
Shen Xiang was a normal human, while Xiao Chou had magical powers flowing through his blood, making him have powerful flesh. Born with divine strength, their strength would become even more formidable as they trained.
Therefore, Xiao Chou was the ultimate ruler among people of his level everywhere. This made him even more arrogant!
The moment the match started, Xiao Chou was the one to attack first. He was very angry now but retained his composure, transforming his anger into strength. Shen Xiang's admiration for him grew as he saw this improvement.
Xiao Chou made a lightning-fast leap, and his small fist suddenly emitted ripples that seemed to shake the space. He swung his fist, using the momentum of his jump to enhance the strength on his fist.
Shen Xiang clenched his fist and attacked Xiao Chou's fist filled with shockwaves. Punching each other, this was how they had fought last time.
Xiao Chou's fist carried his innate power, amplified by martial arts techniques making the strength ferocious, thus causing intense shocks. Shen Xiang's fist was burning with flames, every inch of his fist seemingly heated red, accompanied by searing heat and billowing flames.
The two fists collided. The forces of different natures collided fiercely, eventually merging together before exploding into a loud rumble. The strength scattered in waves, spreading everywhere and creating violent winds that struck the invisible formation.
With this single punch, the intense duel was officially initiated.g and thunder surged out, forming a golden mist wind, penetrating the boundary and devastate the entire square. The strong people couldn’t help but join hands to block that violent lightning thunder....
