Five minutes later, Chu Nan saw Luo Li who was already in a coma.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Luo Li’s life was probably in danger. Now, he was lying in the emergency room. His legs were bent at an abnormal angle. Clearly, they were broken.

Apart from that, his chest even sank. Even through the transparent cover of the emergency room, it was terrifying.

Chu Nan believed that if not for the other party clearly showing mercy and not directly putting Luo Li to death, he would probably be a dead man now.

Chu Nan did not have any sympathy for this and instead felt that it was funny.

Luo Li had always been tyrannizing the West Cloud Academy before and had done countless bad things. A few days ago, Chu Nan had just kicked his vital part in the qualifiers. Now, on the first day of the competition, he had been beaten up until he was seriously injured. Such bad luck was probably his

retribution.

However, Chu Nan was also puzzled.

Although Luo Li had been easily defeated by Chu Nan in the qualifiers, that was more or less because he had underestimated his opponent too much. In fact, he was a true fifth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist, so there was no doubt about this.

To martial artists below the age of 20, only an extremely small number were able to reach the fifth-stage Overlord Body like Luo Li. Moreover, because Luo Li had the Luo family’s martial technique inheritance, his strength was much stronger than ordinary fifth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artists.

If one wanted to defeat him in a fair environment, it was probably very difficult for ordinary initial-stage or even second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists to easily achieve it. Moreover, to be able to injure him like this, the opponent was clearly extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan pulled out his personal terminal. Just like the teacher-in-charge earlier, he opened the official information network of the West Cloud Planet’s Martial Artist Competition and started to search for other matches below the age of 20.

Soon, he found the information about the battle with Luo Li.

This competition was also Luo Li’s third round, but it was labeled as an elimination.

Chu Nan opened the detailed information of this round and focused on the relevant information about Luo Li’s opponent.

However, the information of this opponent was ordinary in all aspects. The only thing that attracted Chu Nan’s attention was the nationality he had specially marked.

“The Kingdom of Kexley?” Chu Nan raised his head in surprise and asked the frowning teacher beside him, “Teacher, are there other countries participating in this competition?”

The teacher-in-charge was feeling vexed because of Luo Li’s unexpected injuries. When he heard this, he waved his hand impatiently.

“Of course. Didn’t the official information say so long ago?”

“Oh?” Chu Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at the official information network of the competition on his personal terminal.

Sure enough, from the information revealed by the officials, this West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition did not restrict nationality. Not only did it attract a large number of martial artists from the Earth Federation to register and participate, but also the martial artists from the few countries around

the Earth Federation were attracted.

On the battle list for those below the age of 20, Chu Nan used the key term “Kingdom of Kexley” to search and immediately discovered more than 300 search results, including the participant number 9527 who heavily injured Luo Li.

On second thought, this was not strange.

This time, the West Cloud Planet’s government had even invited Norman, a Star-Grade Martial Artist from the Phezzan Autonomous Region, to be a guest. Of course, their ambitions were not small. If they wanted to greatly increase the influence of this martial arts competition, it would be natural to

attract martial artists from other countries to participate.

The only thing that Chu Nan minded was the Kingdom of Kexley.

Unlike the Phezzan Autonomous Region, which had always been on good terms with the Earth Federation, the relationship between the Kingdom of Kexley and the Earth Federation had never been good.

Forty years ago, a war broke out between the two sides over the resources of a border planet.

Although this war did not turn into a full-scale war between the two countries due to the intervention of the Declan Empire, both sides had accumulated resentment.

Currently, many people in the Earth Federation were dissatisfied with the Kingdom of Kexley because they had suffered quite a bit in the previous war.

If they knew that the martial artists of the Kingdom of Kexley had actually come to participate in this West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, their first reaction would probably be to shout “beat them to death’.

However… Luo Li was beaten half to death by someone now. He could only lie in the emergency room and wait for treatment.

Chu Nan retracted his thoughts and looked at the form again.

Because Luo Li was assigned to a different half of the competition, Contestant 9527, who had defeated him and came from the Kingdom of Kexley, would not meet Chu Nan before the final stage.

This fact relieved Chu Nan but also disappointed him.

This guy’s strength had clearly surpassed Luo Li by a lot. At the very least, he should be an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist and was suitable for Chu Nan to find a high-level opponent to spar with.

However, Chu Nan also knew very well that although he had defeated countless Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists in the virtual space, this did not mean that his true strength was really that powerful.

In the virtual space, he could figure out the characteristics and combat methods of an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist through countless failures and use his opponent’s weakness to win. However, in the real world, there were not many opportunities to let him figure out his opponent’s background.

This martial artist competition was an elimination system for single matches. As long as he lost one match, he would be directly eliminated. He could not enter the finals at all, let alone win the championship.

If he could not win the championship, he would not be able to fulfill the promise he made in front of Zheng Yuanlin. As for entering Star Cloud Academy, there was no need to mention it.

From this point of view, it was a good thing that he did not encounter such a powerful opponent before the finals.

However, when he recalled that there was actually such a powerful opponent in the martial arts competition, not only was Chu Nan not afraid to retreat, he even felt a trace of excitement.

The opponent had to be strong enough!

The ones in the first three rounds were too weak, causing him to not feel that he was evenly matched at all. To him, it was almost meaningless.

If the opponents in every match were equally weak in the future, then even if he obtained the championship in the end, it would probably not be convincing in Mu Yutong’s eyes.

If he could encounter sufficiently powerful opponents in every battle in the future, he could obtain a large amount of useful combat experience from these battles.

Perhaps he could obtain a breakthrough from this and grasp the true technique of mobilizing his Internal Breath in battle with the Hong Clan’s Long Fist.

Compared to the true increase in his strength, what was a difficult or even dangerous battle?

Slap!

Chu Nan clenched his right fist and heavily struck his left palm. The gaze in his eyes burned.

From now on, the martial arts competition would truly become interesting.
