Chapter 233 The Second Round of Martial Arts Competition
Yan Rumeng and Zhao Jingchen exchanged dozens of blows in an instant, and the powerful collision of their strength made the audience at the scene boil over.
On the battle stage, blood and qi surged, and the sounds of air exploding from the clash of martial arts techniques were deafening.
In just over half a minute, the first martial arts match was decided.
"Yan Rumeng from Yunchuan Province defeated Zhao Jingchen from Dongchuan Province and advances to the next round!"
"The second match is a martial arts contest between Chang Feiyang from Xichuan Province and Lu Qingying from Dongchuan Province. Please come up to the stage quickly for a friendly sparring match."
As the first martial arts match ended, the audience below was shocked.
"The martial arts competition between the members of the Three Provinces' Genius Group was indeed fast, accurate, and ruthless. Before I could even react, the battle was over."
"The commotion from this battle is something even a second-tier martial artist wouldn't be able to match, right?"
"I am from Yunchuan Key Martial Arts University, and I am currently a second-level martial artist. To be honest, my strength is not as good as the two fighting on the stage."
In terms of strength, the difference shouldn't be too great, but their combat awareness is on completely different levels.
Amidst the clamor of discussion, Ruan Liusu returned to her seat below the arena.
"Has the martial arts competition started? Have any members of the Dongchuan Province's 'Genius Team' come up on stage?"
Ruan Liusu sat down and asked her cousin, Ruan Liuyun.
"Hey, Dongchuan Province versus Yunchuan Province, Dongchuan Province has lost."
The next match is about to begin; it's the East Sichuan Province team members versus the West Sichuan Province genius team members.
After Ruan Liuyun finished speaking, she asked, "How was it? Did you meet your blind date? What did you think?"
Ruan Liusu rolled her eyes at him: "What feelings could there be? Do you think it's love at first sight?"
"That's not what I meant. What I wanted to ask was, when you were chatting on Green Bubble, didn't you think this person was a bit unreliable?"
Now that you've met him in person, what do you think?
"It's alright. The real person is a bit better than Green Bubble. He has a sharp aura, and when he stands there, he does have the demeanor of a provincial martial arts champion," Ruan Liusu replied.
"Oh?" Ruan Liuyun smiled and said, "It seems you are quite satisfied with the fiancé that your grandfather introduced to you."
"You, Miss Ruan Liusu, are so proud and arrogant. For you to give me such high praise shows that this martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province is indeed an outstanding person."
"Don't say that. If Grandpa hears this when we get back, he'll think he has no objection to the marriage proposal."
I only exchanged a couple of words with him; I don't know him nearly as well as I do, and I don't even know what his personality is like.
"Anyway, at least you didn't reject them at first glance, so you've passed the first hurdle, right?"
"Hmph, he's still a long way from passing my test; I don't even know his martial arts strength."
"Even when Xie Dongfeng was shouting loudly backstage, he didn't dare to step forward, which shows that he lacks courage," Ruan Liusu said.
"The Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament was just about to begin. As the champion of a province, he carries the expectations of the entire province. It's understandable that he doesn't want any unforeseen complications at this crucial moment."
"By the way, where's Xie Dongfeng?"
Ruan Liuyun pointed to a spectator seat in the distance: "Hey, it's over there. I just told him who Grandpa introduced you to. He plans to challenge this martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province after the competition ends."
"What a hassle!"
At this moment, Chang Feiyang from Xichuan Province and Lu Qingying from Dongchuan Province stepped onto the battle stage.
Ruan Liuyun pointed to the arena and said, "That girl is a member of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team."
Ruan Liusu looked at the battle stage: "I want to see how strong these members of the Dongchuan Province genius team are."
Even from the ordinary members, one can roughly guess the martial arts level of the provincial martial arts champion.
On the battle stage, Lu Qingying looked at Chang Feiyang from Xichuan Province with slightly serious eyes. Zhao Jingchen had just lost to Yunchuan on the battle stage, and she couldn't let Dongchuan lose two matches in a row at the beginning. Now the pressure was on her.
At that moment, the announcement "The martial arts competition begins" came over the loudspeaker.
Lu Qingying immediately seized the initiative, leaping forward and unleashing a set of A-rank martial arts palm techniques.
"Thousand Shadow Palm!"
In an instant, Lu Qingying unleashed dozens of palm strikes at Chang Feiyang.
Chang Yafei hastily engaged in battle, unleashing his A-level martial arts leg techniques to clash head-on with Lu Qingying.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sounds of forces colliding were incessant.
After exchanging nearly a hundred blows, Chang Yafei fell into a disadvantageous position, and Lu Qingying found an opportunity to knock him off the fighting platform with a single palm strike.
At the same time, the broadcast sounded: "The martial arts competition has ended. Chang Feiyang from Xichuan Province versus Lu Qingying from Dongchuan Province."
Lu Qingying wins and advances to the next round.
A heated debate erupted in the audience below the stage.
Ruan Liusu frowned slightly: "Is this the level of the geniuses from the three provinces of Sichuan?"
"Our elite training camp in southern Jiangsu province, the students at the middle and upper levels are no weaker than this, are they?"
"You can't compare the top 20 provinces in the Blue Star Martial Arts Index with the bottom 20 impoverished provinces. The martial arts resources they enjoy are worlds apart and they are not comparable."
"Of course I know all that, but judging from this, the martial arts leader's strength isn't that great."
"That's not necessarily true."
The large screen behind the battle arena started flashing again.
First matchup: Lei Shuzhen from Yunchuan Province vs. Qi Yunxiao from Dongchuan Province.
Second match: Pang Yulong from Xichuan Province vs. Yang Xintian from Yunchuan Province.
"Lei Shuzhen from Yunchuan Province and Qi Yunxiao from Dongchuan Province, please step onto your respective fighting platforms immediately for a martial arts contest."
"Pang Yulong from Sichuan Province and Yang Xintian from Yunnan Province, please make preparations in advance."
As soon as the broadcast ended, Qi Yunxiao and Lei Shuzhen stepped onto the battle stage.
"The martial arts competition begins!"
After the broadcast sounded again, Qi Yunxiao suddenly sprang to his feet, unleashing a fist with the force of thousands of pounds, and clashed head-on with Lei Shuzhen.
After the first move, Qi Yunxiao was instantly forced back several steps by the recoil.
Lei Shuzhen sneered and pressed his advantage relentlessly, repeatedly pounding Qi Yunxiao with his iron fists, instantly forcing Qi Yunxiao to the edge of the fighting platform.
Qi Yunxiao snorted coldly and instantly unleashed an A-rank martial art fist technique.
"Hongbo Six Soldiers Fist!"
On the fighting stage, Qi Yunxiao unleashed a punch that was poised to strike, instantly creating a wave of air around him as the force of the punch slammed into Lei Shu.
Lei Shuzhen also used his A-level martial arts to exchange a move with Qi Yunxiao.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, Qi Yunxiao was instantly blasted off the battle stage, while Lei Shuzhen remained standing on the stage without changing his expression.
"The martial arts competition has ended. Lei Shuzhen from Yunchuan Province has won and advanced to the next round."
"Next match: Pang Yulong from Sichuan Province versus Yang Xintian from Yunnan Province. Please come up to the stage for the match."
In just over an hour, more than twenty matches were held.
In the audience, Ruan Liusu was extremely disappointed: "I had already assumed that martial arts in Sanchuan were very backward, but who knew that martial arts in Sichuan would be even more backward than I expected."
In over twenty martial arts competitions, even the strongest participants were only roughly on par with the stronger trainees from the Jiangsu Province's talent training camp.
"I heard that the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament has separated the top ten students from each province and these ordinary students into two competition zones."
This indicates a severe polarization in martial arts skill among the members of the Sichuan-Central Provinces' genius group; the stronger members should emerge in the next round.
Ruan Liusu nodded slightly. Zhang Qingqing, the host of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Competition and a reporter from Yunchuan TV, stepped onto the fighting stage, holding a microphone, and said: "Dear viewers, the first round of the martial arts competition has ended."
The top 50 in this martial arts competition have been determined, but due to time constraints, I won't go into detail.
The audience at the event can view the matches on the large screen behind the fighting stage, and it can also be found on the official website of the Yun Chuan Martial Arts Association.
"Next, we will hold the second round of the martial arts competition among the three provinces to determine the top thirty in this competition."
Members of the top ten from each province in the second division, and those who advanced in the previous round, please get ready.
The optical computer will begin intelligent allocation.
Not far from the fighting platform, inside the martial arts referee's office.
Xiao Dinglei, president of the Yunnan Provincial Martial Arts Association, and Bao Yongchai, an inspector dispatched by the Blue Star Martial Arts Association, sat facing each other.
Xiao Dinglei said, "Inspector Bao, when the three provinces gathered, you checked the strength of the top teams in each province of Sichuan."
You should have some understanding of the strength of the three provincial martial arts champions. Yun Chuan has a total of six geniuses at the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm this year.
On the battle stage, letting these strongest members face off prematurely would inevitably destroy the suspense. How do you think it's possible to match these top-tier members?
Bao Yongchai said, "Among the three provinces, the first place in the martial arts competition in Dongchuan Province is definitely the weakest. He should have just entered the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm."
Let's arrange for him to fight against the top members of Yun Chuan first.
The martial arts leaders of Yunchuan and Xichuan can be brought out to eliminate some weakened members.
T
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Dinglei nodded.
Two more sets of names appeared on the screen behind the battle arena.
First matchup: Chen Jiaqi from Yunchuan Province versus Lu Qingyun from Dongchuan Province.
Second match: Gu Yiting from Xichuan Province vs. Zhou Jinlun from Yunchuan Province.
"Please invite Chen Jiaqi from Yunchuan Province and Xu Yuanhao from Dongchuan Province to come up on stage for a martial arts competition."
"Gu Yiting from Xichuan Province, Zhou Jinlun from Yunchuan Province, get ready."
Chen Jiaqi and Lu Qingyun stepped onto the battle stage at the same time.
On the fighting stage, after the announcement "The martial arts competition begins" was broadcast, Chen Jiaqi suddenly jumped up.
She was almost at the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, and before Lu Qingyun could react, she unleashed more than a dozen palm strikes in succession.
Immense force was continuously unleashed.
Under such absolute power, Lu Qingyun had no chance to fight back at all, and didn't even have a chance to use his martial arts before being blasted off the fighting stage by Chen Jiaqi with a single palm strike.
After falling off the battle platform with a "thud," Lu Qingyun looked utterly incredulous.
He also knew about Chen Jiaqi; she was among the top ten in the Yunnan Province martial arts competition, and even ranked tenth.
He, who was among the top ten in the Dongchuan Province martial arts competition, didn't even have a chance to fight back against Chen Jiaqi.
Chen Jiaqi chuckled and said disdainfully, "Top ten in the Dongchuan Province martial arts competition, is this all you've got?"
So it seems that the provincial champion of Dongchuan is about the same as the top five in our Yunchuan.
At this moment, the announcement came over the loudspeaker: "Chen Jiaqi from Yunchuan Province defeated Lu Qingyun from Dongchuan Province and advances to the next round."
"Next match: Gu Yiting from Xichuan Province versus Zhou Jinlun from Yunchuan Province. Please come up to the stage for your martial arts duel!"
From the audience, Ruan Liusu watched the martial arts competition and said, "Now that's more like it. This Chen Jiaqi should be equivalent to a top student in the Jiangsu Province Genius Training Camp."
"But this Lu Qingyun from Dongchuan Province, sigh, in over twenty martial arts competitions, I haven't seen a single decent fighter emerge from Dongchuan Province."
"Wait a little longer. Among the three provinces in Sichuan, Yunnan Province already has a higher martial arts index than the eastern and western provinces," said Ruan Liuyun, who was standing next to him.
On the battle stage, Gu Yiting and Zhou Jinlun stood facing each other.
After the announcement that "the martial arts competition has begun" rang out, Gu Yiting and Zhou Jinlun made their moves simultaneously, tentatively exchanging more than a dozen blows.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yiting's blood and qi circulated rapidly, making a booming sound as they flowed, instantly revealing the pressure of her extreme blood and qi realm.
"The pinnacle of Qi and Blood?"
Zhou Jinlun's expression changed, and he immediately unleashed his strongest martial art.
He has already completed the skin and flesh refining process, cultivating immense strength. He is only one step away from the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, and the gap between him and the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm is not too large. If his martial arts and combat experience surpass his opponent's, he can completely turn the tables and kill him.
However, Gu Yiting didn't give Zhou Jinlun a chance. Using her extreme pressure combined with an S-rank martial art, she delivered a powerful blow that completely incapacitated Zhou Jinlun. "The martial arts competition ends. Gu Yiting from Xichuan Province wins and advances to the next round."
After the broadcast started, two more sets of information appeared on the screen above the battle arena.
First match: Song Yixuan from Dongchuan Province vs. Nie Yunhua from Yunchuan Province. Second match: Luo Zhixun from Dongchuan Province vs. Feng Zhibiao from Xichuan Province.
"Please invite Song Yixuan from Dongchuan Province and Nie Yunhua from Yunchuan Province to come up on stage for a martial arts competition."
"Luo Zhixun from Dongchuan Province, Feng Zhibiao from Xichuan Province, get ready."
As soon as the broadcast ended, Song Yixuan and Nie Yunhua stepped onto the battle stage.
"From Dongchuan Province, do you want to go down on your own, or do you want me to escort you down?"
Nie Yunhua glanced at Song Yixuan. He knew about the top ten members of the genius groups in both the east and west Sichuan, and knew that Song Yixuan was one of the top ten in the Yunchuan martial arts competition.
He was the sixth in Yun Chuan, at the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, and the difference between the two was enormous, so he believed he was qualified to say those words.
Song Yixuan chuckled, completely unconcerned, and said, "I choose to send you down!"
"Very well, I didn't want to make things difficult for a girl like you, but you didn't know what was good for you. Don't blame me for being ruthless and ruining your chances!" Nie Yunhua's face turned cold.
As the announcement of "The martial arts competition begins" rang out, Nie Yunhua immediately flew into a rage and attacked.
The immense power of the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm was instantly revealed, and a punch with tremendous force attacked Song Yixuan.
"boom!"
Nie Yunhua thought that Song Yixuan would be completely defeated by his punch, but to his surprise, Song Yixuan took the hit in a clever way.
A glint flashed in Song Yixuan's eyes, and she unleashed a martial arts technique.
"Cloud-Breaking Hand"
Song Yixuan's hand gestures changed constantly, and she softly unleashed an S-level martial art.
Nie Yunhua only felt a blur before his eyes, and in an instant, he threw more than a dozen punches in Song Yixuan's direction.
The powerful punch caused the specially made floor of the fighting platform to crack, but it did not affect Song Yixuan in the slightest.
Song Yixuan thrust her palms out horizontally, striking Nie Yunhua with her force.
With a "bang".
Nie Yunhua collapsed to the ground instantly, completely losing his fighting ability.
