Chapter 104: Shattering the Hero's Dream with One Kick
The decor style of Tingfeng Martial Arts Hall is different from the modern and ancient style fusion of Tayue Martial Arts Hall.
It has a traditional decor with a classical scent, with patterns like Tai Chi, Two Elements, Four Symbols engraved all around the martial arts hall.
The entire hall has an aura of 'solemnity' with a sense of tranquility and non-action.
I don't know if there's some kind of mental perception interwoven in the hall, but as long as an average person steps into the Dao Field, they will find their heart at peace, entering a state similar to 'non-action.'
However at this moment....
Ma Long's expression was extremely peculiar, struggling to hold back his laughter, when on that day Xiong Laile was smacked to tears by Su Tu, and Li Hu sneakily took a picture and sent it to him, listening to Li Chang's words, he really couldn't hold it anymore.
Even 'non-action' could not keep him calm.
Moreover, the students of Tingfeng Martial Arts Hall were all flattering Li Chang, and that scene was really indescribably funny.
"That's right! Senior Brother, Li Chang is not afraid of him, is he stronger than Xiong Laile?"
"Yes! Senior Brother, you might not know since you've been busy with official duties, that Xiong Laile has a natural Martial Bone, and recently has been challenging various martial arts halls, with some guarding students unable to withstand even ten moves from him."
"But Li Chang battled with him for a long time and only narrowly lost!"
"Of course, Li Chang is a Sequenced Martial Artist, and only the most talented among the young generation in the Federation can join the sequence."
The students of Tingfeng Martial Arts Hall spoke one after another.
In their words, they praised Li Chang, and hearing the words of his classmates, Li Chang became even more proud.
His slanted face raised even higher.
"Do you have the qualification to challenge me?"
He squinted his eyes at Su Tu, previously he was somewhat 'humble,' but now being praised by his classmates, he began to put on airs.
Looking at Li Chang's appearance, Ma Long squeezed his thigh hard to stop himself from laughing out loud.
A defeated subordinate of my little brother is asking if I have the qualification to challenge, huh.
Chen Yuan's expression also darkened, wondering why his junior brothers were all acting like brainless fools, couldn't they see something was off with his attitude just now??
If Su Tu was someone easy to deal with, he would've loved to let Li Chang battle him, not only to step on Tayue Martial Arts Hall but also to show off in front of Li Hu.
But.. dear me, Su Tu is a killer type, he knows this too well.
The other day at the Martial Arts Department, he dared to kill someone in public, and with one slap, the power erupted shook the entire department.
Recently in the Paradise plan eliminated by Li Hu, it was suspected this kid was involved, but the information was too tightly sealed so he didn't know the details.
Besides, Chen Yuan was surprised to find Su Tu's cultivation had improved much since they last met, wondering if it was just an illusion, feeling Su Tu had become even more dangerous.
If before, Su Tu was like a wild beast, emanating danger and ferocity, now he was like a lurking predator, hiding his breath, but ready to devour.
Originally, he planned to evade this challenge, but dear me, this brainless Li Chang, just asked if people had the qualification.
Do you have the qualification??
Are you asking again?? Didn't you notice you have a senior brother missing??
Why don't you go down and ask him if people have the qualification??
But of course, Chen Yuan couldn't say these words, what happened internally at the Martial Arts Department that day was tightly sealed, and for the inside of the martial arts hall, it was said that senior brother went back to New Star.
"I am a Tier Three Sequenced Martial Artist, born from New Star, a legitimate descendant of the Li family, with 99 apertures opened, mastering a Tier Two technique minor success, and a Tier Three body technique entry level."
"Do you still think you have the qualification to challenge me?"
Li Chang stared at Su Tu, deliberately lowering his voice, seemingly trying to imitate the oppressiveness in his memory from strong people to exert some pressure on Su Tu.
However, looking at this person, Su Tu only found it amusing.
What was he doing?? What was he suppressing??
"Brother Ma, can I directly beat him?" Su Tu looked at Ma Long and asked.
He really had no time to watch this group flatter each other, he hadn't even trained today, he was in a hurry.
"Sure." Ma Long was actually trying hard to hold back his laugh, not even listening clearly to what Su Tu was saying, just absentmindedly agreed.
But then, he suddenly realized and was just about to say something.
"Don't..."
Seeing Su Tu already leaped out, three residual shadows appeared in the Void Jumping flow.
In an instant, Su Tu had arrived in front of Li Chang.
At this moment, Li Chang's proud expression hadn't even faded, and he saw only a shadow, feeling a raging burst.
Slap!!
Su Tu kicked straight to his chest, and all the qi around Li Chang manifested wanting to resist, but...
Bang!!
Crash!!
The surrounding qi shattered like brittle glass before Su Tu.
The next moment, Li Chang was hurled like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily onto a wall adorned with the Tai Chi emblem.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Nobody expected Su Tu to act directly, neat and crisp, and throughout the whole process, completely ignored Li Chang.
Chen Yuan's face darkened a few more shades.
To be honest, he could've stopped Su Tu just now, but Li Chang's posture was so annoying that even he wanted to shut him up.
As a result, just in a daze, Li Chang was kicked away by someone.
No flowery fancy technique, no confrontation, just like an adult hitting a child.
The students were also dumbfounded, they didn't even see Su Tu's movements clearly, only felt a strong gust of wind.
Then, their so-called sequenced prodigy, like a fly, got stuck onto the wall.
At this moment, the entire hall fell silent.
They looked at Su Tu in disbelief, although their previous evaluation of Li Chang had flattery, Li Chang indeed opened 99 apertures, his technique wasn't great but his foundation was solid.
Yet before this young man, he couldn't even parry and got kicked like that??
Moreover, the most terrifying thing was, they didn't feel qi from Su Tu, meaning when he struck, he didn't even activate his Martial Arts Cultivation, purely exploiting physical power to achieve this.
At this time, Li Chang lay limp on the ground, already unconscious.
Su Tu looked at Li Chang curiously, he held back his strength with that kick, otherwise, with his current power he could've easily crippled the opponent, by rights with Li Chang's physique he shouldn't have fainted...
Li Chang indeed didn't faint, at this moment his eyes were tightly shut, pretending to be unconscious, being supported by others.
He was desperately suppressing his trembling body.
When Su Tu's kick landed on him, he immediately sobered up; whatever sequence, whatever prodigy, in front of this true genius were all jokes.
He heard Su Tu and Ma Long's conversation clearly, secretly gathering qi, ready to apply technique to resist at any moment.
Originally, he planned to flaunch loudly, but... once Su Tu really reached before him, meeting that force head-on, he realized... what he faced was terrifying.
The qi completely shattered, not daring to unleash techniques because... he feared another palm would land, he tried to recall all his means, but finally understood, under such a force, his techniques were nothing but infant's gestures.
Originally, he thought he finally had a chance to stand on the starting line with those monstrous prodigies.
But now... Su Tu's one kick shattered his hero's dream....
He chose... to play dead... at least this way, at least this way he could retain a shred of dignity.
"Tayue Martial Arts Hall is being a bit of a bully, aren't they?" Chen Yuan's face instantly turned somber.
