NOVEL NEXT Chapter 287: Promotion
Wang Ye, beneath Lü Zhouyi's feet, kept blocking and retreating.
Gradually.
Beads of sweat had already begun to appear on Wang Ye's forehead.
And below the arena.
Tan Lin, Lin Hang, and He Ke's faces grew increasingly joyful as they witnessed this scene.
Wang Ye was about to fail.
Indeed.
Wang Ye's display just now was solely because Lü Zhouyi hadn't been serious.
Once Lü Zhouyi took it seriously.
Wang Ye would then have no choice but to be ruthlessly battered by Lü Zhouyi.
Tan Long, seeing Wang Ye continuously under attack and only able to defend, felt excitement on his face but also some worry at this moment.
His boss, Wang Ye, couldn't be failing, could he?
Thinking that Wang Ye might fail next, Tan Long began to feel some self-blame.
He should have stopped Wang Ye back then; he shouldn't have let Wang Ye show off for his sake.
Otherwise.
It wouldn't have reached this point.
Li Tiaoye glanced at the situation on the stage, then looked at Tan Long, who had a look of self-reproach, knowing that even Tan Long felt Wang Ye was about to fail next.
Li Tiaoye sighed.
Wang Ye really was no match for Lü Zhouyi.
For some reason, Li Tiaoye had still harbored some hope for a reversal just a moment ago, hoping Wang Ye would defeat Lü Zhouyi.
But now.
The reversal Li Tiaoye hoped for seemed impossible to come next.
Wang Ye, at present, stood no chance against Lü Zhouyi, and likely within the next minute, Wang Ye would be beaten by Lü Zhouyi.
Losing the chance to partake in Taiyuan Tower's event.
However.
Just as Li Tiaoye was thinking this, Wang Ye found the opportunity to counterattack. As Lü Zhouyi kicked towards him again, Wang Ye stopped defending. He let Lü Zhouyi's kick come toward him while his hands reached out for Lü Zhouyi's ankles.
In Lü Zhouyi's mind.
Wang Ye grabbed his ankles and viciously slammed him to the ground, then followed it with a rapid flurry of attacks.
The sense of danger painted a mental image that led Lü Zhouyi in his next attack to no longer target Wang Ye, but to attempt to pull his feet back to where he had begun.
At the realm of a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior.
It wasn't just having the ability to sense danger but also possessing extremely precise control over physical strength.
They can manipulate their body to control inertia, recoil, and various other forces resulting from their movements.
Lü Zhouyi rapidly pulled his feet back, and the inertia had no effect under his power.
However, even so.
Lü Zhouyi's motion was slower than Wang Ye by a beat.
Wang Ye's hands moved faster than even Lü Zhouyi's speed, and after a brief moment of pulling back his feet, grabbed Lü Zhouyi's feet.
Upon grabbing Lü Zhouyi's feet, Wang Ye launched punch after punch towards Lü Zhouyi's chest, just as Lü Zhouyi had envisioned in his mind moments before.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
One sound after another rang out as Lü Zhouyi took punch after punch from Wang Ye, feeling a suffocating sensation as if he couldn't catch his breath. Looking into Wang Ye's eyes also filled him with a sense of shock.
He discovered.
Although Wang Ye was just a Peak Fifth Rank Warrior, when it came to sheer brute force, the strength he possessed was even greater than that of his own.
Furthermore.
Each punch Wang Ye struck with was even more powerful than the last, the momentum behind Wang Ye's blows continuously growing.
Lü Zhouyi knew that Wang Ye's power was breaking through from the realm of a Peak Fifth Rank Warrior towards that of a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior.
"Thank you."
Wang Ye was the first to feel the surge in strength and momentum in his body. He knew that in the process of exchanging blows with Lü Zhouyi, he had already stepped onto the threshold of a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior.
Next.
Was to completely break through to a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior.
The complete breakthrough could either occur after stepping down and accumulating experience, or by seizing the moment to fight fiercely right then.
He would solidify his newfound strength through the crucible of battle.
"No need for thanks."
Lü Zhouyi spoke.
In the instant Lü Zhouyi uttered those words, he launched his feet forward in a kick aimed at Wang Ye, triggering Wang Ye's danger instincts.
In Wang Ye's premonition of danger, if he didn't evade, Lü Zhouyi's kick could shatter his kneecap and inflict serious injury.
Wang Ye immediately rolled out of the way to dodge Lü Zhouyi's attack.
After Wang Ye dodged, Lü Zhouyi leaped up, his right fist clenched as he smashed down towards Wang Ye, still on the ground.
Wang Ye rolled again to avoid the blow.
Boom!
Lü Zhouyi's fist hammered down ferociously on the edge of the titanium alloy arena.
The arena was made of titanium alloy metal on the ground, and surrounded by special tempered glass mingled with titanium alloy to prevent combatants from harming spectators below.
This special tempered glass was even tougher than bulletproof glass.
Yet even so.
Lü Zhouyi's single punch caused the edge of the titanium alloy to collapse slightly, and the surrounding area to crack in a spiderweb pattern.
"Wow."
The apprentices and disciples at Lyu's Boxing Gym, watching from below, exclaimed in amazement at the power of Lü Zhouyi's punch.
Having never witnessed breakage before, it was surprising to see the titanium alloy arena damaged during the fight between Lü Zhouyi and Wang Ye.
Without standing up, Wang Ye grabbed Lü Zhouyi by the neck and, after getting a hold of him, slammed him to the ground, his fist aiming for Lü Zhouyi's face.
Lü Zhouyi dodged it.
Wang Ye's punch slammed down hard onto the titanium alloy arena, which also caved under the impact of his fist.
Below, the apprentices and disciples from Lyu's Boxing Gym were even more astounded at the spectacle.
The shock they felt was much more intense than before.
They knew that their master was a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior with the power to dent the titanium alloy arena but didn't know that Wang Ye had ascended to a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior. Thus, they were naturally even more surprised to see such a scene.
The relentless attacks of Lü Zhouyi and Wang Ye continued, their fight damaging the titanium alloy arena further.
