Chapter 84: Clash between the Blazing Sun Fist and the Azure Sea Shockwave!

Some sharp-eyed students in the audience had already noticed that Lin Lieyang's battle qi armor was damaged.

This truly surprised them.

Because Lin Lieyang, as a peak Dou Spirit powerhouse, had already mastered the condensation of battle qi into substance.

The battle qi armor he condensed was even more powerful than real armor in terms of defense.

Under such circumstances, it was actually broken by Xiao Ze's martial arts move!

This also made the students in the audience realize that Xiao Ze's strength might be even more exaggerated than rumored.

Lin Lieyang hadn't expected that dealing with a newcomer would actually cause his situation to take a turn for the worse.

Shouldn't he have been able to crush him all the way and subdue him successfully?

But the current situation made Lin Lieyang calm down again.

Realizing that Xiao Ze was not just an ordinary newcomer, but a strong opponent at his level!

Although it was hard to believe, it was the truth.

A newcomer who had just entered the inner courtyard was comparable to him, a veteran who had been immersed in the inner courtyard for several years.

It should be noted that the accelerated cultivation in the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower was not something an ordinary person could make up for.

Several years of time, under the influence of the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, was enough to create an irreparable gap.

And what he encountered happened to be such a monster!

The thought flashed through his mind.

Lin Lieyang immediately relied on his rich combat experience.

Realizing that although the Azure Sea Whirlpool had strong binding force, the hidden water blades within it also possessed extraordinary power.

But after all, it was a whirlpool.

If you couldn't break through around, then break through upwards.

He was not like those beasts that only knew how to charge forward blindly!

A large amount of battle qi gathered under his feet, bursting out suddenly, raging with a fierce fire attribute.

Under the eruption of fierce battle qi, Lin Lieyang actually broke through the binding of the Azure Sea Whirlpool.

His figure soared directly like flying, rushing towards the sky.

Boom!

"I admit that I underestimated you. I shouldn't have regarded you as just a newcomer, but a real challenger!"

"An opponent on par with me, I will go all out next!"

Lin Lieyang said solemnly.

His figure burst out, with dark red battle qi condensed on his fists.

A scorching breath swept over.

Xiao Ze hesitated for a moment, but decided not to use the power of the Difficult Poison.

This time it was a deterrence battle!

To establish his reputation, lest some people think he was taking advantage of the situation and develop the illusion of "if I can do it, so can I".

And then keep bothering him with challenge invitations!

Xiao Ze didn't retreat, and similarly condensed a thick water attribute battle qi on his fists.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Xiao Ze and Lin Lieyang engaged in close combat.

They couldn't understand why Xiao Ze gave up his advantage in martial arts skills and chose to fight Lin Lieyang in close combat.

After all, just by looking at the difference in their body sizes, one could tell that Xiao Ze wouldn't gain any advantage in close combat.

But what happened next surprised them even more.

Under the assault of those fists as big as sandbags, Xiao Ze's palms came up and effortlessly dissipated their force.

'Using force against force!'

Immediately after, he counterattacked, exchanging blows with Lin Lieyang.

Even some weaker students could see it.

Xiao Ze's close combat skills were extremely high! Every time they made contact, the force on Lin Lieyang's fists would be reduced.

And those students did not notice that Lin Lieyang's expression became more and more serious.

Not only because of Xiao Ze's superb close combat skills.

But also because Xiao Ze's continuous consumption of battle qi had not been exhausted at this moment!

It should be noted that he, as a practitioner of fire attribute battle qi, had a great advantage over practitioners of water attribute battle qi.

Every time Xiao Ze's fists came close to him, a large part of his battle qi would be consumed.

However, under the situation of battle qi being consumed exponentially.

Xiao Ze remained calm, showing no signs of battle qi depletion.

Lin Lieyang knew that Xiao Ze's previous claim of having a vast amount of battle qi was probably not an exaggeration!

Xiao Ze keenly caught Lin Lieyang's sudden distraction.

Seizing upon his momentary distraction, Xiao Ze's hands emitted a faint blue light.

'Yan Counterattack!'

Boom!

Lin Lieyang retreated dozens of steps in a row, his palms trembling as he looked at Xiao Ze.

He could feel that this was a martial arts move of considerable rank.

It could completely return his force.

And it also added some of Xiao Ze's own strength, causing his arms to tremble.

This short and intense close combat ended with an outcome that no one had expected.

All the students watched as Lin Lieyang retreated, and Xiao Ze stood motionless in place.

The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

The difference in their body sizes, yet the final result was Lin Lieyang retreating dozens of steps!

In fact, none of the people present realized that even if Xiao Ze's skills were amazing, he wouldn't be able to unleash them without a solid physique.

For this close combat to achieve such a result, Xiao Ze's terrifying physique was indispensable.

However, under Xiao Ze's extremely outstanding skills, his strong physique seemed somewhat inconspicuous.

Of course, this was also a situation deliberately concealed by Xiao Ze.

After all, a sudden surge in physique wouldn't be easy to explain in front of Xiao Xuner and Xiao Yan.

The Diamond Qi Pill really only had one pill!

"Endless means... if we continue like this, I'm afraid our roles will be reversed, and I'll become the challenger."

"Let's decide the outcome with the next move!"

Lin Lieyang said, his fists also beginning to condense a deep red battle qi.

The temperature on the field also gradually rose, and even the water stains at Lin Lieyang's feet evaporated into water vapor due to the high temperature.

"This martial arts move of mine is my strongest move—Blazing Sun Fist, with extraordinary lethality. I hope you'll be careful..."

"Just what I wanted!"

Xiao Ze also felt that this battle was dragging on a bit.

It was time to strike the hammer of judgment!

His fair fingers quickly formed seals, moving so fast that it made people feel dizzy.

As Xiao Ze made his move, the energy of the heavens and earth in the arena began to riot!

Lin Lieyang's expression became extremely serious.

He had long heard that Xiao Ze had a ground-level martial arts move, but seeing it with his own eyes was still very shocking!

But when it came down to it, he couldn't back down either, gathering all the battle qi in his body and punching out!

A huge dark red battle qi fist, carrying a scorching breath, flew towards Xiao Ze.

"Blazing Sun Fist!"

"Azure Sea Shockwave!"

With one before and one after, the two low shouts resounded, and the shockwave collided with the blazing sun fist!

After a brief stalemate, the Azure Sea Shockwave, with an unstoppable momentum, overwhelmed the blazing sun fist!

Even with the protection of the battle qi armor, Lin Lieyang was still slammed by the shockwave against the wall, unable to help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The elders had already evacuated the students before both sides used their martial arts techniques.

Now that they were settled, they returned to the arena.

The elder looked at Xiao Ze with some surprise. The power of this blow was something he dared not underestimate.

"In this match, Xiao Ze wins!"

"At the same time, Xiao Ze replaces Lin Lieyang and becomes the fifth on the strong ranking list!"

With the elder's announcement, those students who were still in shock all turned their gazes to Xiao Ze.

A brand-new fifth on the strong ranking list.

There was still a lingering sense of unreality and disbelief in their eyes.

After all, this was a newcomer who had just entered the inner courtyard.

And he had already made it to the top five on the strong ranking list!

Then what did their cultivation as old students count for?
