Chapter Ten: Solo Challenge

  Looking at the young man walking towards him, Hu Gaofeng and the other nine apprentices of the Little Luo Tian Academy were all stunned. After all, they had grown up under Chen Luo's genius halo for several years, which was a kind of instinctive habit. Especially Hu Gaofeng, he was admitted to the academy with Chen Luo in the same year, although this guy was very powerful outside, but inside the academy, he didn't even dare to fart when he saw Chen Luo, completely avoiding him. Because in the first year after entering the school, he was beaten by Chen Luo for being too arrogant, leaving a shadow that still hadn't dissipated until now.

  "Chen Luo, hum! As expected, it's you."

  Hu Gaofeng's visit this time is not only for Guo Wenguang, but also to avenge his past grievances.

  Chen Luo met only a few apprentices when he was at Xiaoluo Tianyuan Academy, especially the low-level ones. He only knew two or three of them, and Hu Gaofeng was one of them. He walked over with an iron rod, saying slowly: "Hu Gaofeng, it's been more than a year since we last met, I didn't expect you to still be so incompetent."

  "I'm not making progress? Hmph! Even if I don't make progress, I'm still stronger than you, a pseudo-genius tainted by darkness!" For some reason, looking at the gloomy Chen Luo and that iron rod emitting a hissing sound, Hu Gaofeng's heart began to feel apprehensive. He pretended to be calm and sneered: "What a pity! More than a year has passed, I'm still me, Hu Gaofeng, but you, Chen Luo, are no longer the same as before. Your cultivation was ruined by the Guardians of Light, yet you dare to be so arrogant in front of me."

  "Haha, who says it's not? Chen Luo looked at him with a smile and said: "I'm indeed no longer the old Chen Luo, but you're still the same Hu Gaofeng. When we first started school, you were a junior apprentice. When I was involved in darkness, you were still a junior apprentice. After I got out of prison after more than a year, you're still a junior apprentice! Don't you feel embarrassed? I'm ashamed for you!"

  Chen Luo wasn't a sharp-tongued person, but when he started to mock someone, it was absolutely devastating. One sentence was enough to hit Hu Gaofeng's weak spot.

  "Chen Luo! Today I'm going to beat you until you're picking your teeth off the ground!" Hu Gaofeng clenched his fists, his soul resonating, as he circulated his Five Pulse Spirit Energy and charged forward.

  "Then give it a try." Chen Luo suddenly stopped in his tracks, raised his arm, and the fire poker was spun around, emitting a humming sound. Immediately afterwards, only to see that the fire poker was enveloped by a faint layer of spiritual energy light.

  "Hmph! It's just the Three Pulse Spirit Power."

  The first realm of cultivation is to break through the seven meridians, each with a different breath. Therefore, it's usually possible to identify an opponent's strength based on their breath. Hu Gaofeng, who has extremely rich combat experience, could see at a glance that Chen Luo's spiritual power only contained three meridian breaths. Although he was surprised and shocked that Chen Luo had broken through three meridians in just over three months, this wasn't important to Hu Gaofeng. What mattered was that with his five-meridian spiritual power cultivation, he didn't take Chen Luo seriously at all.

  Chen Luo picked up the fire poker and wrapped the San Mai Ling force around it, directly poking it over.

  Hu Gaofeng didn't dodge or evade, and with a flick of his wrist, he used his Five Meridians Spirit Power to catch the incoming burning stick. However, as soon as it made contact, there was a loud cracking sound. Hu Gaofeng felt a tearing pain in his palm, let out a pained cry, quickly released his grip, retreated three steps, and looked at his hand to see that the skin on his palm had been cracked open by Chen Luo's stick. He raised his head, widened his eyes, and stared in shock.

  "You clearly have three spiritual veins, how can you possibly withstand my five spiritual veins."

  Not only was Hu Gaofeng shocked, but the surrounding disciples were also stunned. They had just seen clearly that Chen Luojie had used three spiritual veins, while Hu Gaofeng had used five spiritual veins to resist. In this situation, Hu Gaofeng could easily catch the fire stick, and if he wanted to, he could even use his spiritual power to counterattack Chen Luojie through the fire stick after catching it.

  But how did it completely turn around now?

  He didn't know, couldn't figure it out, and didn't have time to think about it, because Chen Luo wouldn't give him the chance. With a swoosh of the burning stick, another round began, and the two clashed together, exchanging over ten moves. Hu Gaofeng repeatedly used his own Five Pulse Spirit Power to collide with Chen Luo's Three Pulse Spirit Power, colliding thirteen times in a row. When he was covered from head to toe with thirteen bloody red marks left by Chen Luo's burning stick, he finally accepted the fact that his Five Pulse Spirit Power couldn't compare to Chen Luo's Three Pulse Spirit Power.

  Bang!

  Another thud, Hu Gaofeng's shoulder was hit with a stick, and he gritted his teeth in pain, yelling loudly: "Chen Luo, if you have the ability, throw away this iron stick, let's fight bare-handed!"

  He didn't believe that Chen Luo's three spiritual veins could withstand his own five spiritual veins, so he thought there might be something strange about the iron rod.

  "As you wish." Chen Luo casually threw the burning incense stick to the ground and stood there quietly, saying lightly: "Come on." His tone was so calm that it seemed like he didn't take Hu Gaofeng seriously at all. Hu Gaofeng naturally sensed this and roared with anger, his face twisted in a fierce scowl: "In the past when you cultivated the Spiritual Ocean, I couldn't defeat you. Now your cultivation is only at the third meridian of the Spiritual Opening, I, Hu Gaofeng, don't believe I still can't defeat you!"

  Hu Gaofeng once again activated the Five Pulse Spirit Power, this time Chen Luo didn't dodge or evade, he intentionally wanted to test his own strength, so he still activated the Three Pulse Spirit Power, and said in a low voice: "You weren't capable before, now you're even more incapable." After speaking, he directly threw out a punch.

  Two fists collided together.

  Boom!

  Chen Luo took a slight step back, while Hu Gaofeng grunted and retreated six steps before stabilizing.

  This time, Hu Gaofeng finally clearly realized a fact: the fire poker wasn't strange, what was strange was Chen Luo. His three-meridian spiritual power was actually... actually stronger than his own five-meridian spiritual power. The people around him were also staring with wide eyes, and like Hu Gaofeng, they couldn't understand how Chen Luo's three-meridian spiritual power could be stronger than the five-meridian spiritual power.

  During this time, Chen Luo did not continue to attack. The punch he threw earlier allowed him to roughly understand that his three meridian spiritual power was almost equal to other people's five meridian spiritual power.

  "I don't believe you're really this awesome! Ah——"

  Hu Gaofeng endured the scorching pain that spread throughout his body, controlling his soul resonance to its limits. He circulated the Five Pulses and formed a palm with both hands, as flames of spiritual energy erupted around his palms.

  Yellow-grade intermediate-level spiritual technique, Flame Palm. Just now, Yan Xiu was injured by Hu Gaofeng using this move. This is his signature spiritual technique. It has to be said that Hu Gaofeng being able to cultivate a yellow-grade intermediate-level spiritual technique to small completion is indeed impressive. Relying on this spiritual technique, ordinary Five Pulse disciples are not his match at all, because the lethality of Flame Palm is simply too fierce.

  Seeing this, Chen Luo didn't dare to be arrogant. He knew that if he continued to mobilize the three spiritual veins to collide again, he would definitely get hurt. At this moment, his soul resonated and he still mobilized the three spiritual veins, but this time he threw out the Tiger's Majesty Formless Fist.

  In an instant, Chen Lu took a big step forward, his figure like a sharp arrow, leaning to the left, his right arm raised, and with his five fingers clenched into a fist, a fierce and violent spiritual energy burst forth. With one punch, he shattered the air, causing it to explode, and the airflow shook violently, creating a series of loud cracking sounds that seemed endless.

  Hush!

  The two clashed again, and as soon as they touched, Hu Gaofeng didn't know what was happening, only feeling a powerful force rushing over him, so strong that it was like being struck by a fierce tiger, sending him flying sideways.

  Shocking, astonishing!

  This was the expression of everyone around, Chen Luo not only blocked Hu Gaofeng's Flame Palm in its early stages, but also sent him flying. The spiritual technique he used just now seemed to be... Tiger Might Infinite Fist?

  Yes! Must be!

  Everyone in the field can recognize Chen Luo's spiritual trick, because Tiger Majesty No Phase Fist is a very basic and perfect spiritual trick. Almost all apprentices have practiced it, but only practiced it, because practicing this set of spiritual tricks is just to lay the foundation. This set of spiritual tricks is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is easy to practice, but difficult to master. Being able to persist in practicing Tiger Majesty No Phase Fist to a small achievement is already considered an outstanding existence. Chen Luo not only practiced Tiger Majesty No Phase Fist to a small achievement, but also practiced it to a great achievement.

  The Great Achievement Stage of Huwei Wuxiangquan!

  Even in the entire Little Luo Tian Academy, with hundreds of apprentices, only four apprentices have cultivated the Tiger Might Infinite Fist to great success. The Little Luo Tian Academy is like this, let alone other academies. To say it without exaggeration, in the entire Changxin City, there are probably not many people who can cultivate the Tiger Might Infinite Fist to great success either.

  They gazed at the blue-clad youth standing quietly, their hearts filled with doubt. Was he really Chen Luo, whose cultivation had been crippled by the Guardians of Light? It should be him, but he had only been out of prison for a little over three months, and yet he had already opened up three spiritual meridians and even mastered the Tiger's Fury - No Boundaries Fist, a technique that was easy to learn but difficult to master. How did he do it? This was the question on everyone's mind.

  "Are you going to hit me again?"

  The sound of Chen Luo's voice made Hu Gao's body tremble as he looked at the young man in front of him, his delicate face and dark eyes. He seemed to see again the Chen Luo from over a year ago, who had been sharp and unyielding, with an air of superiority, like a sword that was too sharp for anyone to touch. But now, Chen Luo seemed to have lost his edge, his eyes no longer held that air of invincibility, and he was no longer as sharp as a sword. However, there was still a quiet coldness about him, a coldness that was like the fire at the bottom of a deep abyss, seemingly calm and peaceful on the surface but actually burning fiercely, like ice.

  It is said that the Tiger Might Infinite Fist, when cultivated to perfection, has a power like that of a fierce tiger, ferocious and violent. Hu Gao Feng deeply felt this as he was shaken by Chen Luo's single punch, his internal energy and blood churning, his head dizzy, enduring the pain, staring at his leg, retreating, and turning his head to shout at the eight other disciples: "What are you still stunned for? Come on! Let's fight him together!"

  At Hu Gaofeng's shout, Xiaoluo Tian's eight apprentices woke up from their shock and looked at each other, without hesitation, they immediately rushed over.

  Seeing this scene, Chen's heart trembled. He was human, not a god. He could defeat one Hu Gaofeng, but he couldn't handle eight of them. Even if he didn't mind exposing his true strength and used the Five Pulse Great Moving Technique to unleash his Tiger Roar, it was still unknown whether he could handle eight Hu Gaofengs. After all, two fists can't contend with four hands; he could take care of the front but not the back.

  Years of brutal training had taught Chen Luo to remain absolutely calm in the face of danger, and without hesitation, he quickly picked up the burning fire poker from the ground, gripped it tightly in his hand, raised it high, and pointed it at the eight approaching apprentices, coldly shouting: "Who dares to move a single step? Today, I'll cripple all of you!"

  Chen Luo had limited experience in solo battles, but he had been surrounded and attacked countless times. He had been besieged by the top Glory Halls, as well as the geniuses from Central Academy, and even the Light Mages from the Radiant Temple. The fact that he was still alive was no coincidence. He knew that in such situations, it was crucial to suppress the opponent's momentum, putting them in a state of wanting to move but hesitating.

  Suddenly, one of the apprentices took a step back, Chen Luo's eyes were quick and his hands were swift, he picked up the fire poker, circulated the three meridians of spiritual energy, and struck the apprentice's shoulder with a loud thud!

  Bang!

  That apprentice covered his shoulder, sat on the ground, and wailed continuously. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Lu took a step forward, with an imposing manner, aimed at another apprentice and struck again, instantly knocking down another one. He advanced again, and the remaining apprentices became fearful, retreating backward.

  "Is anyone else thinking of taking action?" Chen Luo gripped the fire tongs and pointed at one of them, asking "You?"

  The apprentice shook his head, as if he had lost all courage. The burning incense sticks were placed in front of them one by one, and the remaining apprentices all shook their heads.

  "If you don't want to fight, then get out of here!"
