Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Preemptive Strike

Fang Chen’s entry onto the field instantly caught everyone’s attention.

The people who had been gathered around the injured sharing their experiences, or those adjusting their breathing on their own, now all supported their companions and sat in the front rows. They all wanted to see if Fang Chen had any unexpected tactics up his sleeve.

Fang Chen stepped forward steadily. Facing Fan Yutong, he respectfully performed a formal salute of a Martial Artist.

Fan Yutong let out a soft exclamation of surprise, a ripple of emotion flashing through her indifferent eyes for the very first time. She could clearly perceive that the examinee before her had a seamless and flawless Aura. He was actually at True Martial Realm Perfection! Furthermore, his foundation had been honed to an exceptionally solid and profound state, completely incomparable to ordinary Perfection experts.

With a shift in her mind, her surrounding Aura adjusted accordingly.

Fang Chen could clearly feel the opponent’s momentum, which had originally been maintained at the Late Stage of True Martial Realm, climb up to True Martial Realm Perfection in just a few breaths, matching his own.

"Adaptive difficulty?" Fang Chen thought to himself, keeping his thoughts hidden as he maintained an impassive expression.

Following the rules, he tapped his left and right fists together three times to signal that he was ready.

"Begin!"

Fan Yutong remained standing still in place just as she had before, showing no intention of taking the initiative. She clearly wanted to see how Fang Chen would perform.

Fang Chen didn’t immediately strike a flashy opening stance like the others. He simply walked toward Fan Yutong calmly, step by step, with a steady gait and focused eyes. He continued until he was a mere two meters away from her. For a master of Leg Technique, this distance was already an extremely dangerous territory.

"Facing a High Martial Realm expert, even if she suppressed her cultivation, fighting a conventional battle is suicide," Fang Chen calculated rapidly. "Her physical fitness, eyesight, and combat experience far exceed the True Martial Realm. Starting from far away like Su Zhe did only gives her enough time to react and judge. To catch her by surprise, I must get close, using the shortest distance and the fastest rhythm to disrupt her pace!"

Seeing him get so close, Fan Yutong coldly scoffed and hooked a finger in a slightly provocative gesture.

A calm smile appeared on Fang Chen’s face as he postured to bow in salute once again. However, the moment his head was halfway down—

BOOM!

His twin fists blasted out without warning like dormant, angry dragons! True Qi surged, and his Fist Wind tore through the air. It was impressively the Mountain-Shattering Sound! His very first move was an unreserved Killing Technique!

The astonishment in Fan Yutong’s eyes deepened. "Is he a master of Fist Technique? Trying to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses? But if you specialize in Fist Technique, how will you make up for the shortcomings of your Lower Body and Leg Technique?"

As her thoughts raced, she formed a tight seal with one hand, channeling her True Qi to block.

BANG!

The clash of fist and palm produced a muffled, booming sound!

Fan Yutong felt an overwhelming surge of force rushing toward her, leaving her palm and arm numb. What shocked her even more was that in a pure clash of True Qi, she was actually at a disadvantage! Having foreseen the formidable power of this move beforehand, she had already mobilized a considerable amount of True Qi—unlike when she casually blocked Su Zhe earlier—yet she had still underestimated the might of this punch.

"What?!" she thought in shock. Feeling flustered, she hastily channeled more True Qi into her Palm Power, wanting to stabilize the situation.

However, Fang Chen changed his moves even faster!

Before the momentum of his fist was exhausted, his five fingers suddenly spread open like iron tongs, forcefully gripping her wrist!

It was only a momentary restraint! As if springs were installed in his feet, Fang Chen leaped off the ground with both legs simultaneously, delivering an exceptionally vicious kick straight toward Fan Yutong’s abdomen! The transition from Fist Technique to Leg Technique was as smooth as breathing!

Fan Yutong was startled once again! Moreover, the Power and threat contained in this kick were not the least bit inferior to his raging twin fists from earlier!

"He cultivates both Fists and Feet, and to reach such a level at this age is truly rare!" Having miscalculated just a moment ago, she didn’t dare to be careless again. She circulated her True Qi with all her might, abruptly pulling her arms back. At the same time, she bent her elbows like a shield and smashed them downward fiercely, attempting to meet the kick head-on!

Fang Chen’s kick was none other than the Armor-Piercing Drill! In terms of pure point-to-point armor-breaking capability, it was even superior to the area-of-effect attack of the Mountain-Shattering Sound!

THUD!

It sounded like a heavy hammer slamming against an anvil! An even more muffled sound of impact erupted!

"Ah!"

Fan Yutong couldn’t help but let out a short cry of pain! She felt as though her elbows were being ruthlessly chiseled by red-hot iron nails. Her bones emitted a faint sound of being overwhelmed, and an agonizing pain pierced her heart! Her entire body was sent stumbling backward by this force!

"Good kid!" she thought with a mix of shock and anger. Tapping the ground lightly, she retreated rapidly, wanting to widen the gap, regroup, and switch from defense to offense. True Qi swiftly converged toward her legs as a fierce leg assault was about to unfold.

However, the moment she pulled away by half a body length, Fang Chen’s figure closed in once again like a phantom!

Extreme Speed erupted!

Fang Chen’s speed instantly peaked, appearing before Fan Yutong again as if through Instant Teleportation. He launched another no-nonsense Mountain-Shattering Sound straight at her face! He was determined to strike while the iron was hot and finish her off! Without giving her any chance to adjust or catch her breath, he intended to crush her in one vigorous effort with a continuous stream of attacks!

In her haste, Fan Yutong crossed her arms to block once again!

BANG!

Her arms were brutally knocked aside by the immense force, leaving her center wide open! That fist, containing terrifying power, looked as if it was about to land directly on her chest!

In this critical moment, Fan Yutong instinctively executed her Body Technique, her figure floating backward like willow catkins. Simultaneously, the Aura surrounding her began to surge uncontrollably upwards!

"Is she trying to bring her realm back up to the High Martial Realm?" Fang Chen thought, his gaze turning sharp. "I won’t give you the chance!"

Fan Yutong’s retreating speed was incredibly fast, but in front of Fang Chen’s enhanced dynamic vision, her trajectory was clearly captured! Without hesitation, the few stones he had been holding in his left hand shot out continuously like bullets!

Finger-Tapping Divine Techniques!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The stones shot toward her abdomen, chest, throat, and eyes respectively! The angles were tricky, and the speed was astonishing!

Fan Yutong’s expression changed. She was forced to divide her attention to dodge and block these annoying Hidden Weapons, instantly interrupting her process of elevating her cultivation realm!

While she was busy dealing with the stones, Fang Chen executed Extreme Speed once again. Combined with the phantom-like Body Technique brought by the Perfection level of the Phantom Illusion Step, his figure moved so fast it left afterimages. He stuck to her like a relentless shadow as he closed in once more!

This time, the muscles in his arms bulged, and the True Qi within his body wildly resonated and stacked in an unprecedented manner!

Thousand Waves Mountain-Shattering Sound!

This was the strongest attack he could execute at his current level! It layered the multiple streams of Power of the Mountain-Shattering Sound upon one another, surging like ocean waves, each stronger than the last!

Fan Yutong had just dodged a stone attack and had no time to raise her realm before Fang Chen’s fist blasted toward her! She could only barely raise her arms to block once again!

BOOM!!!

It sounded like a clap of thunder! A violent force far exceeding the previous ones slammed fiercely against her arms!

"Ugh!" Fan Yutong let out a muffled groan. Her entire body was blasted backward, sliding for two body lengths. Her arms were in excruciating pain, and her Qi and Blood churned endlessly!

However, this was not over yet!

The subsequent tide-like Power of the Thousand Waves Mountain-Shattering Sound followed close behind!

THUD!

She involuntarily took another step back, the True Qi within her body shaken to the point of near collapse!

"Not good!" she thought in alarm.

In the exact moment when her stance was unstable and her defenses completely exposed, Fang Chen delivered a crisp and fierce sidekick. As if it had been calculated long ago, it struck her abdomen with pinpoint accuracy!

BANG!

Fan Yutong only felt an irresistible immense force transmit through her. Like a kite with a broken string, she was kicked completely off the ground, flying more than five meters into the air!
