On the stage, Li Zhengcheng and Gongben Liangtian stood at opposite ends.

Li Zhengcheng concentrated his gaze on Gongben Liangtian and greeted with a fist and palm salute, "Elder Li Zhengcheng of the Martial Alliance's Dingjing Branch, please enlighten me."

"Gongben Liangtian."

Gongben Liangtian merely muttered his name indifferently, declining further comment, and glanced sidelong at Li Zhengcheng with undisguised contempt, without the slightest bit of respect.

A flash of anger flickered in Li Zhengcheng's eyes, but he forcibly contained it.

If this were before, he might not have been so even-tempered, but ever since Jiang Chen had challenged his entire office, he began to introspect and search incessantly for his own shortcomings.

However, after that day's battle, the only inadequacy Li Zhengcheng could find was that he had underestimated his opponent. Although he had to admit after much contemplation that he truly was no match for Jiang Chen, had he not taken his opponent too lightly, at the very least he wouldn't have been defeated so swiftly!

Whoosh—

A fierce wind swept by, and Gongben Liangtian made his move.

Charging straight at Li Zhengcheng.

Li Zhengcheng raised his hand, blocking Gongben Liangtian's strike.

"Good... Elder Li has made a move!"

"He'll definitely defeat that Beihai person!"

"Come on, Elder Li!"

"Come on, Elder Li!"

The stadium erupted with deafening cheers.

"It seems your prestige is rather high, so let them see clearly that your Flame Dragon Kingdom's martial arts are truly not worth mentioning!" Gongben Liangtian said with a mocking smile, his figure shifting as he charged once again at Li Zhengcheng.

A grave look appeared in Li Zhengcheng's eyes as he continued to maintain a defensive stance, adopting stillness to counteract motion.

Witnessing this scene on the stage, Jiang Chen's brow lifted slightly as he sighed softly, "Alas, he's lost."

Gong Yue and the others were taken aback briefly before Li Bowen scoffed with a sneer, "Nonsense, of course that Beihai person will lose. Elder Li himself has taken action; it'd be strange if that fellow didn't lose."

Jiang Chen didn't even look at Li Bowen simply stating, "I wasn't referring to Gongben Liangtian."

"What do you mean? Are you complimenting that Beihai person?" Li Bowen didn't miss a single opportunity to suppress Jiang Chen.

Xiao Anjun frowned slightly and looked assertively towards Fan Wuzheng. If what Jiang Chen said was true, then it would be let go, but if Jiang Chen was actually complimenting the Beihai person, he would never let this Jiang Chen off the hook.

"Kid, why are you so sure?!" Fan Wuzheng's face was serious as he looked at Jiang Chen.

"I've sparred with Li Zhengcheng before."

Jiang Chen gazed at the stage, his brows slightly furrowed, as he said leisurely, "His routine tends towards defensive counterattack, yet now he has adopted a purely defensive stance. While this is safe, it has wiped out his chance of counterattacking. In the current situation, he can only passively take hits.

While Gongben Liangtian's attacks seem random and violent, they hide secret moves. It might seem like they are evenly matched at the start, but Li Zhengcheng must be feeling uncomfortable by now, while Gongben Liangtian is like a cat playing with a mouse, still having strength to spare.

All I hope now is that Li Zhengcheng keeps a steady mindset and continues to defend like this; he could then manage a dignified defeat. If his mind becomes unsettled and he attempts to change his approach, shifting from pure defense to defensive counterattack..."

At this, Jiang Chen paused slightly and shook his head as he sighed, "The moment he changes, that will be the moment he is defeated!"

"Haha... what a joke."

His words were instantly met with derision from Li Bowen, "Stop trying to boost your own ego here. You've fought with Elder Li? Who do you think you are? If you had fought Elder Li, could you still be sitting here?" scoffed Li Bowen disdainfully.

Fan Wuzheng, however, was momentarily taken aback and looked more closely at the stage.

Xiao Anjun also frowned and glanced at Jiang Chen with disdain and contempt, not believing his words for a moment.

"Elder Li is about to change his tactic!"

Just then, a shout came through, and everyone turned their gaze toward the stage.

Upon hearing this, Li Bowen immediately glanced at Jiang Chen with a face full of mockery, "Jiang Chen, just watch and see how Elder Li will fight this Beihai person!"

"He's lost! Elder Li has become impatient!" Jiang Chen shook his head and spoke calmly.

"You..."

Before Li Bowen could retort, a dull thud came from the stage.

Bang!

"Ah—"

Immediately afterward, a scream echoed! Li Bowen quickly turned his head to see that Li Zhengcheng had been caught off guard by Gongben Liangtian, who kicked him squarely in the chest!

"Pfft—"

While in the air, Li Zhengcheng spat out a mouthful of blood and was directly thrown off the ring.

And Gongben Liangtian shook his head arrogantly, "Too weak, still trying to tough it out like a turtle, hmph, nothing but trash."

After speaking, Gongben Liangtian stood with his hands behind him, surveying the surroundings, and spoke indifferently,

"Who else?"

At this moment, the entire venue fell dead silent!

No one dared to respond!

Defeated!

The Elder Li, in whom everyone had placed great hopes, was defeated!

And the defeat was so miserable!

Too horrifying to watch!

On Jiang Chen's side, almost everyone was stunned.

They were shocked by Li Zhengcheng's defeat, but even more shocked that Li Zhengcheng's defeat was exactly as Jiang Chen had described!

If Jiang Chen could predict the outcome of a fight between Profound Martial Artists before, he still might seem somewhat capable.

But now, this was a battle above the Earth Level Martial Artist, and he could see through it too?

It was simply inconceivable!

Involuntarily, everyone turned to look at Jiang Chen.

And what they saw was a face filled with calmness.

Confident and composed.

Everything under control!

"Jiang Chen, how could you possibly guess?" Fan Wuzheng spoke up at this moment, his eyes gleaming as they stared intently at Jiang Chen, his expression solemn.

Jiang Chen glanced at Fan Wuzheng lightly, "It's not a guess, I saw it. I told you, I fought with Li Zhengcheng, and he was defeated."

Fan Wuzheng's face twitched, then he scoffed coldly, "Jiang Chen, I must say, your insight is indeed unique, and I'm somewhat convinced. But you shouldn't be so arrogant. You also defeated Li Zhengcheng? Then what level of Martial Artist are you? Don't tell me, at your young age, you're already a Heavenly Peak Martial Artist?"

Li Bowen quickly leaned in, mocking Jiang Chen, "Mr. Fan, how could this kid possibly be a Martial Artist, let alone a Heavenly Peak Martial Artist? You think too highly of him, he's nothing but an infamous son-in-law who's all talk, it's all just coincidence!"

"Son-in-law?!"

Xiao Anjun looked at Li Bowen in astonishment, then turned to Jiang Chen with furrowed brows forming a character for 'chuan'.

He truly didn't know that Jiang Chen was married?

Jiang Chen turned to look at Xiao Anjun, smiled slightly, "General Xiao, I've told you before, that opinion of yours isn't what I think, I am indeed married."

Xiao Anjun's face darkened as he glanced at Xiao Yunna, a surge of anger rising in his heart.

Na Na actually infatuated with a married man? Hmph, unacceptable, he must dispel this notion from her mind immediately when they return.

Fan Wuzheng continued to watch Jiang Chen, frowning as he spoke, "Jiang Chen, answer my question!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Fan Wuzheng, chuckled lightly, "Sorry, I'm not any Heavenly Peak Martial Artist, nor do I know my own level, or maybe, as Li Bowen said, I am not a Martial Artist at all."
