"Young Master!"

"Head Instructor!"

As Jiang Chen arrived, Yan Hu, Shen Xiangtian, and the others greeted him one after another.

"Venerable Qing!"

The members of the Flame Dragon Group also greeted Elder Qing respectfully.

Nodding his head slightly, Jiang Chen turned to Zhang Jianjun, with the crowd instinctively stepping aside.

"You want to fight me?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"Yes!" Zhang Jianjun nodded heavily, staring directly at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shrugged and said lightly, "Bring it on."

Clatter!

The members of the Flame Dragon Group hastily jumped to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena upon hearing Jiang Chen's acceptance of the challenge.

Zhang Jianjun was a powerful Martial Artist at the mid-stage of the Venerable Realm. Although Jiang Chen's strength was unclear to many, they all knew he had to be within the Venerable Realm. The aftermath of a battle between two Venerable Realm experts was terrifying!

"Xiao Yun, how do you think young Jiang will resolve this battle?"

After retreating to one side, Elder Qing asked Su Yun.

"Well… it's probably a piece of cake for him!" Su Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"I'll bet it won't take more than three moves!" Elder Qing chuckled.

Su Yun was taken aback and looked at Elder Qing in surprise, "Venerable Qing, is Mr. Jiang really that strong?"

"When he was in the early stage of the Venerable Realm, he could already take on opponents in the late stage. Now that he's reached the mid-stage, his combat power must be even more terrifying!" Elder Qing explained softly.

Su Yun looked towards Jiang Chen at the center of the Martial Arts Arena, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, alongside some signs of affection.

"Jiang, Head Instructor, I've always heard you're great at training soldiers and skilled in business, and that you've led Long Yan to dismantle numerous bases of the three major organizations. But I've never known how strong you are. Today, I hope to find out. Please, don't disappoint me!" Zhang Jianjun glared at Jiang Chen with resentment.

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, "You won't regret it, but whether your martial artist spirit will shatter, I won't know."

"What do you mean? Do you think you can defeat me, and I won't be able to handle it?" Zhang Jianjun shouted angrily.

Jiang Chen pursed his lips, "Perhaps."

"Watch out! That kid seems to be serious!" Elder Qing was startled after hearing the conversation between the two and turned to Long Wuhun, "What did you say to young Jiang when you faced him? I came out late and didn't pay attention."

"I only shared what happened earlier, which is…" Long Wuhun explained softly.

After listening, Elder Qing was shocked, glanced at Yan Hu and the others, and frowned, "What did Zhang Jianjun say that could spark a killing intent in them?"

"He… said some pretty offensive things!" Long Wuhun hesitated and didn't relay the words.

"It doesn't matter! Whatever ignited their killing intent, young Jiang must've guessed it was harsh words. Otherwise, they wouldn't have such murderous intent here at our Flame Dragon Group headquarters! Zhang Jianjun is finished!" Anger flashed in Elder Qing's eyes as he glared fiercely at Zhang Jianjun, who stood facing Jiang Chen.

"Finished? What do you mean?" Long Wuhun asked in surprise.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A powerful aura emerged, causing Long Wuhun to forgo waiting for an answer and turn toward the Martial Arts Arena.

Martial Arts Arena.

Zhang Jianjun exploded with a mighty aura, oppressing Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen stood there without displaying any aura, seemingly unaffected by Zhang Jianjun's oppressive presence.

"Bastard!"

Zhang Jianjun was enraged, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen.

Aura oppression conveys threat and intimidation, yet Jiang Chen didn't resist at all and stood there as if unscathed.

This was complete disregard for Zhang Jianjun, not putting him in his eyes!

"You've asked for it!"

Glinting coldly, Zhang Jianjun shouted, "Exploding Flame Heavy Fist!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

Zhang Jianjun's aura surged again, with red mist enveloping him and forming a three-meter-wide flaming fist in the air!

"Exploding Flame Heavy Fist! That's Vice Captain Zhang's secret technique!"

"Did Vice Captain Zhang just use a secret technique right off the bat? He intends to defeat Jiang, Head Instructor, in one move!"

"He really didn't leave Jiang, Head Instructor, any face!"

"Vice Captain Zhang went too far! Jiang, Head Instructor, has made significant contributions to our Flame Dragon Group!"

The members of the Flame Dragon Group exclaimed, criticizing Zhang Jianjun while obviously not favoring Jiang Chen!

Yan Hu glanced at the members, a mocking smile on his lips.

"Jiang Chen, get down!" Zhang Jianjun roared, punching toward Jiang Chen from afar.

The flaming fist in the air howled as it rushed toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had the same mocking smile as Yan Hu, looked at the approaching flaming fist, and casually raised his arm, holding out a single hand to meet Zhang Jianjun's secret technique.

"What?!"

"Is he going to catch Vice Captain Zhang's secret technique single-handedly?!"

"Wow! That's too arrogant, isn't it?"

"Does he think he's playing catch? Does he want to use his bare hand to catch a secret technique?! Is he crazy?"

The members of the Flame Dragon Group cried out in surprise.

"Venerable Qing!" Su Yun shouted nervously.

Elder Qing shook his head, sighing, "Zhang Jianjun is finished, this time his martial artist spirit might be shattered beyond repair! He may never improve again, and young Jiang will become a permanent shadow on his martial path!"

Su Yun paused, showing a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Buzz!

A subtle aura emanated from Jiang Chen as a faint white glow appeared on his uplifted left hand.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed as the flaming fist struck Jiang Chen's palm, the three-meter-wide fist stopping mid-air, burning fervently!

"Blocked, blocked it?!"

"How's that possible?!"

"What's going on?! How did he block it?!"

"Using his hand to block a secret technique? Is this guy even human?"

The members of the Flame Dragon Group exclaimed in shock, staring at the scene in the Martial Arts Arena.

"No way! How did Jiang, Head Instructor do that?! Is his body's toughness this strong?" Long Wuhun widened his eyes, staring foolishly at Jiang Chen.

"It's not body toughness, it's the quality of the Inner Qi. Young Jiang's Inner Qi far surpasses Zhang Jianjun's. Just a trace of Inner Qi equals the energy contained in Zhang Jianjun's secret technique. Compared to young Jiang, Zhang Jianjun is just all show."

"Considering the strength of that Inner Qi, it has reached the limit of young Jiang's physical endurance. If he strengthens his body slightly, his realm of strength may rise even further!"

Elder Qing's eyes showed a complex expression, muttering, "That troublesome kid, I've barely broken through to the Supreme Venerable Realm, thinking I might finally beat this brat. But is this rascal about to surpass me again? What power! What Inner Qi quality! What kind of person is he? Is he even human?"
