Chapter 34: Turning Rot into Miracles! (Third update, seeking recommendations)

  In the martial arts arena, almost everyone's eyes were on Chen Huan, especially his peers from the Xiang generation, who had a hint of curiosity, expectation and jealousy. At the same time, he became a disciple of the Xiao family, but in just half a year, that former coarse linen boy had already reached a height that made them look up to him...

  His age, strength and talent have undoubtedly become a dazzling new star in the Xiao family. Even if he fell in the life-and-death battle with Xiao Jihuan, the entire Xiao family would probably never forget that young man wearing coarse linen clothes for his whole life...

  Break the Xia family's test record; Injure three warriors before starting to practice; Make a life-and-death appointment with Xiao Jihan on the first day; Promote to 9th rank warrior in two months; Enter the Magic Cloud Mountain Range for four months of training and have not returned...

  Everything he does is so stunning and earth-shaking!

  Now, he is challenging a second-rate peak martial artist with his cultivation that has just entered the first-rate!

  Will it be successful?

  ……

  Chen Hao pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and his deep, dark eyes gradually ignited with a fierce passion. As the yuan force surged through his body, an astonishing battle intent suddenly emerged, pure, simple, and razor-sharp!

  At that moment, some disciples who were born with keen sixth sense looked at Chen Hao's eyes and became strange. The figure, which was much smaller and thinner than Xiao Shi Qing, suddenly made them feel an unbeatable feeling deep in their hearts...

  "What an overwhelming presence!"

  Some onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts, even Xiao Lao's expression changed slightly. Although Xiao Lao had some idea of Chen Huan's incredible talent, he still saw Chen Huan display this aura for the first time, an aura that was unlikely to appear on a low-level cultivator like Chen Huan!

  Only by looking at Xiao Jishan on the stage, a rough and masculine face showed a hint of a smile. Chen Huan had seen this momentum before.

  Xiao Shi Qing was the first to react, revealing an unprecedented cautious expression. With a loud shout, he suddenly made his move!

  Bang!

  Xiao Shiqing's feet exerted force, and his body shape instantly borrowed power to rush towards Chen Huan. His fists shone with a dense pale red light, directly attacking Chen Huan's chest without any fancy moves!

  Fists howling with wind, violently abnormal!

  Facing Xiao Shi Qing's unreserved punch, Chen Hao did not retreat but instead took a step forward. Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, he shifted his body slightly to the side and swiftly slapped out with his palm, emitting a faint red glow from his palm!

  "Hmmph!"

  Xiao Shiqing snorted disdainfully and suddenly shifted his body, dodging Chen Huan's palm wind. His fist path changed abruptly, and he launched a dual-fisted attack at Chen Huan's face, unleashing a flurry of punches with overwhelming force and deafening sound!

  Obviously, Xiao Shiqing wanted to quickly cut through the chaos and rely on his own powerful yuan force to crush Chen Huan with an overwhelming momentum!

  "Are you familiar with the eighteen forms of Ba Quan?"

  Chen Hao's eyebrows slightly raised, this is the Xiao family's fifth-level fist method, second only to one of the three great ultimate skills of the Xiao family, known for its fierce and overbearing power. If it were before yesterday, Chen Hao would not have been able to understand, after all, when he left the Xiao family to temper himself, he was just a ninth-grade martial artist. What he learned was only the basic skills of the Xiao family, but after spending four hours with Old Man Xiao last night, Chen Hao suddenly understood.

  It must be said that Xiao Shi Qing's use of the Eighteen Fist of Dominance to deal with himself was an extremely wise choice, allowing him to fully utilize his own realm advantage.

  But unfortunately...

  His opponent is Chen Hao!

  A Chen Hao with a robust physique and an unparalleled mastery of ancient Chinese martial arts in his mind!

  Sigh...

  The fierce and violent fist wind brushed past, looking incredibly powerful, but the eighteen forms of the Overbearing Fist seemed to be full of flaws in Chen Huan's eyes. Chen Huan was also clear that once his momentum was suppressed by Xiao Shi Qing, he would become more and more fluent in his movements, and his strength would also increase, at which point he would be completely at a disadvantage. However, despite knowing this, Chen Huan still chose to dodge.

  Then let you reach the strongest state!

  My target is Xiao Jihan, if even you, a second-rate martial artist, can't beat him, how can I fight against Xiao Jihan, a fifth-rate martial artist?

  Time is running out, and every battle will be Chen Hao's object of tempering!

  "Shh..."

  Watching Chen Huan seemingly relying solely on his innate speed advantage to dodge Xiao Qing's attacks, several of Xiao Jihan's followers in the crowd suddenly let out bursts of boos and jeers, their contemptuous feelings not being concealed in the slightest.

  "Hmph... a mere second-rate martial artist, and yet he's beaten this kid to the point where he's running around like a stray dog. What can he possibly use to compare with our boss? Haha..."

  "Yes, this kid is just a reckless thing, although having talent is a strong point, but also too self-important..."

  ……

  "Ancestor, didn't you say Xiaoshi can win?"

  At this time, Xiao Jie Yan didn't sit in the classroom because the competition had ended, but instead sat with Principal Xiao, staring at Chen Huan who was being forced to be a bit embarrassed, and asked softly.

  Xiao Lao glanced at Xiao Jiyuan, intending to answer her question, but hesitated for a moment before asking instead: "If the life-and-death battle between Xiao Jihan and Xiang Huo were happening now, who would you want to win?"

  "This... I hope... hope neither of them loses..."

  "It's a life-and-death battle, only one can survive. You can only choose one, who do you want to win?" asked Xiao Lao again.

  "I... don't know..." Xiao Jiyuan couldn't make a choice. Chen Huan was her more likable junior brother, but Xiao Jichan had been taking care of her like an elder brother for three years, and it was all still fresh in her mind. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Xiao Jichan was a good person; otherwise, even if he were simple-minded, he wouldn't have been so easily deceived by Xiao Jichan's words.

  "Alas..." Xiao Lao sighed inwardly, shook his head and said, "Just watch slowly..."

  Xiao Lao had already reminded Xiao Jiyuan once to have less contact with Xiao Jihan, and it was pointless to say more. Some things would only be understood by her when she truly realized them herself.

  ……

  Similarly, many people had high hopes for Chen Huan, thinking that since he dared to accept Xiao Jihans life-and-death duel with such arrogance, he should have some trump cards up his sleeve. But at this moment, even a second-rate martial artist like Xiao Shiqing was able to render him completely helpless, which was somewhat disappointing.

  ……

  As time went on, Xiao Shi Qing's Overlord Eighteen Palms became increasingly fierce and violent, clearly having reached the ultimate realm, forcing Chen Huan into a desperate situation!

  The people watching from under the stage couldn't help but exclaim from time to time, secretly sweating cold sweat. Especially Xiao Jishan, Xiao Jifei and several martial artists of the Shi generation who ranked lower, put themselves in Chen Huan's shoes, they absolutely could not avoid Xiao Shiqing's attack...

  But Chen Hao was able to avoid it every time with his innate speed advantage, without any danger!

  "This kid is really strong......" The eighth-ranked disciple of the Shi generation, Xiao Shijian, gazed at Chen Huan who was dodging and weaving on the stage, saying softly.

  "It's incredibly strong. The fundamental stances, fist techniques, and leg techniques... he can utilize them to such an extent... it's almost unbelievable... if it were me, I would have lost long ago..."

  "Hmm, if he were to challenge the two of us, I'm afraid we wouldn't stand a chance... Unfortunately, he's challenging Kijiro sensei now. Kijiro sensei has mastered the eighteen techniques of the Haou style to perfection, and he won't be able to hold on for much longer... Ah?"

  Boom!

  Xiao Shijian's words were not yet finished, his eyes fixed on the stage suddenly flashed a look of extreme shock, and he was shocked to exclaim!

  At the same time, everyone in the entire arena stared with wide eyes, no one had expected that Chen Huan, who was already completely suppressed and on the verge of collapse, would suddenly burst out a palm strike with his body's faint red Yuan energy, like a long-suppressed mountain flood!

  A faint red Yuan force emerged from Chen Huan's palm and condensed to its extreme!

  The terrifying speed of the subsequent attack directly struck the protective aura on Xiao Shiqing's chest!

  "Bang bang bang......"

  What's even more shocking is that Chen Hao seemed to have completely changed into a different person, relying solely on the Xiao family's basic skills to engage in a fierce battle with Xiao Shi Qing, refusing to yield an inch!

  This scene caused the entire martial arts arena to gasp in shock!

  Xiao Lao on the viewing platform, Xiao Ding and others on the main stage were even more shocked, even for their level of mastery, they had not expected that the most basic foundation technique that any ordinary member of the Xiao family could master would be able to reach such a magnificent and extraordinary realm in Chen Huan's hands!

  "Great! Great! What a strong combat talent..."

  Xiao Ding suddenly stood up, his face filled with intense shock, and muttered to himself, "Chen Huan's combat talent at this moment has completely exceeded my imagination... This is the legendary combat talent that can turn decay into magic..."

  Boom!

  Under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, Chen Huan actually retracted his protective aura and without taking any defensive measures, he poured all his yuan power into his palms. In a crazy manner that would either succeed or perish, he slapped his palms squarely onto Xiao Shiqing's chest, where his protective aura was located!

  Along with the dull sound, Xiao Shi Qing's protective aura was directly shattered, and he flew out like a kite with a broken string!

  Splash...

  When Chen Hao made a move, Xiao Shiqing was blown flying to the ground and couldn't get up. The entire martial arts arena erupted in an uproar, with everyone's eyes wide open and their mouths agape, staring at the slender figure that had appeared out of nowhere, unable to believe what they were seeing!

  "Six Elders, I won, didn't I?"

  After a good dozen seconds had passed, during which the Sixth Elder's face changed from sunny to cloudy and he was stunned, Chen Huan's eyes did not fluctuate with any emotional ups and downs as he stared at him, saying loudly.

  Xiao Xianghao... wins!

  Upon hearing Chen Huan's words, Liu Zhanglao regained his composure. Although unwilling, he still retracted the sinister look in his eyes and declared...

  As soon as the voice of the six elders fell, a burst of applause and cheers erupted in the martial arts arena. This was won by Chen Hao with his stunning talent and strength!

  "I lost to you, no regrets!" Xiao Shi Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, and gazed at Chen Huan, saying in a deep voice: "I'll have another chance to learn from you! However... this kind of desperate fighting style, use it less..."

  "Thanks for reminding me, Master Shi Qing!" Chen Hao smiled slightly and said with a fist bump.

  The two men finished speaking and both walked down from the stage.

  Looking at Chen Hao's figure, Xiao Jihuan was extremely shocked, but under the gaze of everyone, his face didn't change at all, with a hint of arrogant smile still on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes filled with disdain and contempt...

  "Good boy!"

  Looking at Chen Huan's return, Xiao Guan, who was standing in front of the viewing platform like a mountain, had a hint of unreserved admiration in his eyes and said in a low voice.

  "Chief Instructor..." Chen Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude, and he stopped in his tracks. He had a good impression of Xiao Guan. Although Xiao Guan only let him pass ahead of time during the test and didn't have much contact with him afterwards, every time they met, Xiao Guan looked at him with praise and encouragement, not hostility or oppression.

  "Go on, go on, work hard, and grasp the opportunity at Yuanshen Cave..." Xiao Guan patted Chen Huan's shoulder and said in a low voice with deep meaning.

  ……
