Chapter 754: Fight For Your Life!
The burly man’s attack was aimed directly at Ye Lingchen’s face. Although it was not fast, it carried an extremely strong suppressive force, making it difficult to dodge. His opponents could not even muster up the will to block it and obediently gave up.
“Tch! ”
Ye Lingchen snorted lightly with a fierce glow in his eyes. He released his spear on his left hand, and used his Arhat’s Fist Force at full capacity, attacking the burly man’s claw!
Boom!
Ye Lingchen’s body shook. The burly man was not in a good mood either and the two separated as soon as they touched.
However, the burly man remained expressionless. He raised his blocking hand and grabbed the spear. Then, he moved forward and raised his foot, kicking toward ye Lingchen’s abdomen.
Each of his moves was simple and straightforward, but the pressure he exuded was so great that it was impossible to counterattack.
Rather, it should be said that before him, one did not even have the thought of retaliating.
Ye Lingchen, on the other hand, used that attack to retreat rapidly. However, while he was retreating, he raised his right hand into a claw and swiped at the long spear across the air.
The afterimage of the claw disappeared in a flash as the spear actually broke free from the burly man’s hand and returned to Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen put some distance between them. His eyes were sharp as he pointed the tip of the spear at his opponent.
The exchange was only an instant, but it was extremely dangerous, and one could not afford to be the slightest bit careless.
The burly man once again stopped moving, and his eyes with sunglasses stared at Ye Lingchen. An extreme pressure pressed down on Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen did not move as well. He raised his spear high, as if he did not feel tired at all.
“Pass.”
The burly man announced suddenly, which caught Ye Lingchen slightly off guard.
“Get on board.” The burly man’s voice was very deep. He was a man of few words, turning around and boarded the helicopter right after.
Ye Lingchen hesitated for a moment before putting away his spear, and boarded the plane along.
“This is a test. Only those who pass will be qualified to participate in the International Martial Arts Tournament.” The pilot of the helicopter was a middle-aged man. He smiled and explained to Ye Lingchen, “All participants had to go through this test. ”
Ye Lingchen collected his thoughts and nodded.
The importance of the International Martial Arts Tournament was self-evident. It was indeed reasonable to arrange such a test, but it really caught him off guard. The murderous aura of this man was not faked. He felt that if he was not strong enough, he would be seriously injured even if he survived.
He glanced at the burly man beside him, still feeling shocked by the murderous aura on his body.
“Warriors must never back down. Those who cower will die! ” the burly man said nonchalantly as he leaned against his seat.
Ye Lingchen’s heart skipped a beat. He could tell that the burly man was not joking at all. This Warrior was very different from the other Warriors he had met before.
He looked at the driver and asked curiously, “How are the results of this test graded? Is there only one passing grade? ”
“Of course not. ” The driver shook his head. “Passing is the lowest standard. There are also excellent and perfect grades. ”
Ye Lingchen was really stunned this time.
He looked at the big man again. He thought that his performance earlier would be considered excellent, yet he only got a passing grade?
The big man stated, “The killing intent you give off is too weak. You’re already scared before the battle. Your senses aren’t alert enough and your attacks lack decisiveness. Your moves also lack viciousness and the forms too rigid. If you did not take back your weapon in the end, you would have been eliminated!”
The last sentence was the one that crossed the line. With that mere statement, Ye Lingchen’s face suddenly turned twisted. It was as though he had been criticized for nothing.
“Didn’t you come to pick me up? Why would I be on guard? ” He could not help but retort.
The big man sneered, “Ha! You’ll die if you keep that mindset. ”
“Brother, Tie Jun is right. The spear in your hand is a good weapon. If it’s taken away, not only will you be eliminated, the weapon will not be returned to you either,” the driver added.
These words might sound somewhat ridiculous, but Ye Lingchen felt that they were telling the truth.
His expression was a bit complicated. Originally, he thought that his power had already reached the next level, and that he was no longer a weak existence among martial artists. As the protagonist with a system, he would definitely be invincible among those of the same level. It should not be difficult for him to surpass the burly man’s level. However, that day, he really felt a deep sense of malice.
The burly man was only at the peak of the Innate Stage while he was only one step away from the Innate Stage. Nevertheless, he felt as though it was a chasm, as if they were not on the same level at all. His moves were so simple, and it was not a powerful technique. How could it be so powerful?
The helicopter flew on. After a momentary silence, Ye Lingchen said softly, “I have learned a lot.”
“Xiang Guocheng thinks highly of you, but you are too green! There are too many things that you need to learn. If it weren’t for his recommendation, I wouldn’t have even considered choosing you. ” The burly man spoke bluntly.
“I’ll definitely win. I won’t embarrass China. ” Ye Lingchen said.
“Hehe, you don’t even have the courage to fight with others, and you still want to win? ” The burly man sneered, “I can feel that when you fight, your heart is filled with fear. ”
Ye Lingchen frowned slightly and retorted, “There’s no need to fight with your life, why do you choose to do so? ”
“Hahaha. No need? As a Warrior, this word shouldn’t exist! ” The Big Man seemed to have heard a joke, “From your earlier performance, I can just eliminate you and stop you from participating in the International Martial Arts Tournament. Do you still think there’s no need? ”
He turned his head to look at Ye Lingchen. His eyes were hidden under his sunglasses but his gaze was still sharp. “Are you really outmatched? You’re just afraid. We know everything about you. If you dare to fight with your life, I might not be your match. However, you didn’t even have the courage to fight back, so you lost completely! There’s no need? It’s just an excuse! ”
Ye Lingchen opened his mouth but words failed him.
The burly man’s moves were not complicated, being open and unrestrained. As for himself, he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but he was suppressed to the point that he could not use them at all. Just now, he was comforting himself that it was because the burly man was too strong that he was like this. At that moment, he began introspecting. It turned out that everything was because of his own cowardice.
“Warriors must fight! Xiang Guocheng must have told you about it, right? However, it seems you still don’t understand what it means,” the burly man said coldly as he raised his hand and took off his sunglasses.
Only then did Ye Lingchen see the face under the sunglasses. When he looked at it, he was completely stunned.
On the burly man’s left eye, a knife scar extended from the left edge of his eyebrow. The knife scar was extremely deep. It slanted to the right and slid from his eye all the way to the bridge of his nose!
His left eye was blind. He did not even have an eyeball!
“When facing the enemy, humans will indeed band together. However, once the battle ends and the spoils are distributed, there will often be a new war! This wound of mine was left behind by a Warrior! Warriors must fight for it. What they fight for is not only resources, but also their lives! “
