Burning fists!

Looking at Chi Dao, Chu Hao couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise because although Chi Dao's face showed pain, it wasn't intense.

How could one remain so calm with burning hands?

Chu Hao didn't think Chi Dao was a fool, sacrificing his right hand by burning it off to defeat him—although this world was miraculous, as far as Chu Hao knew, there were no Pills, Spirit Fruits, or methods that could regrow a severed limb!

That is to say, Chi Dao's hand seemed to be ablaze, but it wasn't causing him any actual harm! The pain on his face must be because he currently lacked Star Force and was using some special technique to forcibly execute this Fiery Tiger Fist!

This technique must've placed a great burden on Chi Dao, causing his painful expression.

Fire!

It's natural for humans to revere things like fire, floods, and thunder, and Chu Hao was no exception! This reverence wasn't a bad thing; blind fearlessness was just stupidity, which could only lead to one's demise!

How to block it?

Chu Hao frowned. Although his Physique had greatly improved, that was in relation to physical strikes; he had no added defense against fire—a martial master would be able to cultivate Star Force and form protective shields!

"Chu Hao, are you ready?" Chi Dao extended his other fist, which also erupted into flames.

Could it be that he also needed to use his Ultimate Move?

But if he had to use his Ultimate Move just to deal with a "small fry" like Chi Dao, what about Mo Guxin?

That guy's strength and talent were above Chi Dao's!

No need!

Chu Hao thought to himself that he would use the Mad Demon Hammer Technique!

At worst, he would get burned a few times, just a few more scars! Scars, those are a man's medals of honor!

"He who plays with fire, gets burned!" Chu Hao said indifferently.

"Still mouthing off!" Chi Dao bellowed, leaping forward and swinging both his flaming fists at Chu Hao.

What a nuisance, why won't he just lie down quietly?

Chu Hao evaded, trying his best to avoid the fiery assault, his eyes sharp, looking for a chance to counter.

"This is bad, he can actually unleash a fiery attack; this should only be possible after becoming a martial master!" Tang Xin said anxiously, rubbing her hands together. Such attacks were indeed meant for a martial master, and only a martial master could counter them!

It's simple, using Star Force to form a shield, just like Madam Yun confidently caught Chu Hao's Red Shadow Sword with just one hand!

But Chu Hao was still only a Martial Disciple, what to do?

"Chu Hao must have a way!" Fu Xue said, her eyes sparkling, her face filled with a raging fighting spirit, as if she wished to swap places with Chu Hao.

The thoughts of a fight-crazed person really are different from those of normal people!

Chu Hao launched into the Mad Demon Hammer Technique, his fists swinging wildly, creating a howling wind.

"Good!" Fu Xue applauded immediately.

"What's good about it?" Tang Xin, Yu Wenjing, and Le Deqing were all rather bewildered.

"By relying on incredibly fast punching speed to create whirlwinds, he can disrupt the movement of the flames, significantly weakening the power of the Fiery Tiger Fist!" Fu Xue explained.

Observing more closely, Tang Xin and the others could see that under the influence of Chu Hao's punches, Chi Dao's flames were erratic. Although Chu Hao still dared not be struck by such fists, the flames posed much less of a threat to him.

"Can he win?" Tang Xin and the others looked to Fu Xue for judgment, realizing they were far from matching this Female Tyrannosaurus when it came to combat experience.

"Not sure, it depends on Chu Hao's own resolve!" Fu Xue said.

"What kind of resolve?" Tang and the others pressed on.

"The resolve to go all out!"

In the midst of their conversation, the situation on the field underwent a dramatic change!

Chu Hao suddenly launched a strong counterattack, as if completely ignoring Chi Dao's flames!

"That's the resolve I'm talking about!" Fu Xue's eyes shone brightly. If it were her, she would also choose to strike at this moment!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chu Hao's fists thundered, each punch clashing forcibly with Chi Dao's. The whoosh of the punch, intertwined with the dance of the flames, created a dreamlike spectacle.

However, just after a dozen punches, his body was already marked with numerous burns, but a closer look revealed not one vital area had suffered a severe blow!

"Such excellent judgment!" At a distance, on a huge rock, Xue Li still dressed in queenly attire, a burly man lay on the ground using his back as a table, upon which sat a fruit platter and a jug of wine with a cup.

Xue Li casually picked at the fruit, sipping wine while her gaze was initially focused on Fu Xue, yet now directed at Chu Hao, revealing a trace of surprise.

"Isn't that right, Junior Brother Chi?" she said without turning back.

Behind her stood a tall, handsomely-built man, a long sword on his back, his eyes blatantly covetous as he gazed at Xue Li. "Indeed," he said, "courageous, quick to adapt, and most importantly, he's got ruthlessness!"

A Chi Family genius, Chi Dao's elder brother, ranked ninth among the Core Disciples, Chi Kuan!

"It seems your little brother is headed for defeat!" Xue Li popped another fruit into her mouth, then with a flick of her wrist, a cold gleam shot toward Chi Kuan at lightning speed.

Whoosh!

Chi Kuan drew his sword, sword qi soared like a rainbow, vanishing in a flash. The streak of cold light was also split in two by a single stroke, whizzing past both sides of Chi Kuan's cheeks with a 'pap pap' as they hit the ground. Upon a closer look, it was clearly nothing but a fruit pit!

"Next time, I'll blind your eyes!" Xue Li said indifferently.

"Hahaha, Senior Sister Xue, even though you currently outrank me, it won't be more than half a year before I break into the top three!" Chi Kuan said confidently, "At that time, I will definitely conquer you!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Xue Li shook her head nonchalantly, "I seem to have heard this line from so many people before. And the result? Let me think, it seems each one of them got their balls kicked in by me! Junior Brother Chi, do you also want to become a man without 'seeds'?"

"Sister Chi, just wait and see!" Chi Kuan turned and walked away.

"Why won't you watch anymore? Your brother is still fighting!"

Chi Kuan didn't look back, merely waving his hand: "He has already lost."

"Won't you comfort him?"

"The Chi Family has no use for such trash, unable to even defeat a lowlife from the Lower World!" Chi Kuan snorted and kept walking without pausing.

"That's really heartless," Xue Li murmured, her eyes quickly moving back to Fu Xue, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips, "My little Xue'er is getting more and more delectable; I can hardly resist eating her right now!"

"Ah! I just remembered, there's a mysterious villain at Weird Claw Peak, how could I let my little Xue'er take such a risk? I need to protect her closely! Hehehe."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Chu Hao pushed the Mad Demon Hammer Technique to its limit, delivering three consecutive strikes, progressing from the Sixteen Forms to the Eighteen Forms, each blow carrying more than quadruple the force, and how could Chi Dao's strong physique withstand that?

With a 'crack, crack', two of Chi Dao's ribs were violently broken, and he could no longer catch his breath.

Chu Hao had entered a frenzied state, his fists continuing to pound.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, his punches, fast as lightning, struck Chi Dao's abdomen.

He hadn't noticed that the flames on Chi Dao's fists were extinguished, and a stream of blood kept spurting from Chi Dao's mouth, splashing onto his back.

"Enough!" A hand reached out, pressing on Chu Hao's shoulder, and suddenly an indescribable heavy pressure descended, making Chu Hao feel as if his body had sunk, unable to exert any strength at all!

Only then did he snap out of the Mad Demon Hammer Technique's Intent Realm and turned his head to see the deacon who was officiating the match.

"This battle, Chu Hao wins!" The deacon announced loudly.

"We won!"

"Senior Brother Chu won!"

"We from the Lower World won!"

Disciples from the Lower World cheered one after another, while those from the Native Faction had gloomy faces. After several intensifications of the conflict, the situation had grown irreconcilable.

Chu Hao walked towards Fu Xue and the others. Before he even reached them, many people lifted him into the air, throwing him up towards the sky, their excitement overwhelming. Only when someone mentioned that Chu Hao had also sustained burns and needed immediate treatment, did the crowd reluctantly set Chu Hao down.

"You've only won one match; there are three more to go!"

"Next up is Senior Sister Zhou on the field!"

"With Senior Sister Zhou in the upper bracket and Senior Brother Mo in the lower bracket, the ultimate champion and runner-up will both be ours, nothing to do with you lowlifes!"

After a momentary lull, the Native Faction's morale rebounded and they counterattacked.

"Wait and see!" The two sides faced off against each other, almost coming to blows.

Chu Hao sat down next to Fu Xue. Yu Wenjing immediately took out the medicine for injuries and began to bandage him, saying, "Senior Brother Chu, you are truly impressive!" with unhidden admiration on her face.

Fu Xue laughed heartily, slapping Chu Hao on the shoulder, "It seems you've hooked another beauty!"

Chu Hao grimaced in pain, saying, "Sister, be gentle!"

"Cut it out, you're not a woman!" Fu Xue scoffed.

Hoodlum!

Chu Hao and Tang Xin exchanged glances, tacitly choosing not to respond to this female tyrannosaurus. This woman seemed to be influenced by Xue Li, acting more and more audaciously.

"The next match is starting!"

"Zhou Yuan versus Lin Zhendong!"

"Chu Hao, Zhou Yuan is likely to be your opponent in the next round!"

Tang Xin and the others saw the two participants of the next match entering the field and spoke one after another.

Chu Hao nodded. Every local disciple from Tianhe County had tricks up their sleeve, like Chi Dao – in terms of actual individual strength, Chu Hao was actually a lot stronger! Yet the opponent managed to even out the strength gap with a Treasure Artifact, and even slightly surpassed it. The Martial Techniques they commanded were varied and plentiful to the point of absurdity!

In the end, even the Fiery Tiger Fist that required Star Force to activate was freely used, which was downright cheating!

Lin Zhendong was already weaker than Zhou Yuan in terms of strength, and with his only advantage gone, winning was out of the question. Unless he stumbled upon an encounter like Chu Hao's, learning a High-Grade Human Level Martial Technique—at least a Middle-Grade!

The fight began swiftly.

As everyone expected, it was a one-sided battle. From the start, Zhou Yuan pummeled Lin Zhendong until she broke his hand bones, ending the fight without giving Lin Zhendong a chance to retaliate!

Complete victory!

The Native Faction whooped in triumph, while the disciples from the Lower World responded with disdain. Now that the score was one to one, what were they boasting about?
