Chapter 23: One Hammer to Flatten You

  His footsteps were swift, a series of rapid dashes through the grass made a rustling sound, as if a real demon ape was launching an attack on humans. The third-level warrior's strength allowed him to throw a punch that brought out a 'whooshing' sound.

  Several senior warriors simultaneously let out a low cry, unexpectedly among this year's freshmen, there was actually someone who had practiced the beast-fighting technique of the magical ape to perfection despite not having fully mastered their warrior skills. This ability would give him a great chance of winning against even a fourth-level warrior by relying on his mastery of the magical ape technique.

  "Speed, power, angle, far surpassing Kaisa's, no wonder he's the eighth-ranked warrior student in his grade."

  Gazing intently at Zuo Lun Tian Jian's "Demon Ape Tail Stab", a faint fist wind arrived first, exuding the aura of a beast capable of killing people, triggering the surge of Dou Qi within his body. He knew that this opponent had indeed put in arduous effort into their Beast Fighting Technique.

  "Looking at his aura, it seems that he is about to reach the peak of a third-class warrior's combat power. I estimate that after some time, he will really have the opportunity to break through and enter the state of a fourth-class warrior's combat power. No wonder he has such an arrogant attitude."

  Crack! With a swift motion, he raised his left arm and swept it forward, catching the front of Lian Tian's blade on his forearm. He immediately deflected the violent strike, and the two arms collided with a crisp muscle-crashing sound.

  "Fourth-level Dou Qi? Kong Qi actually has fourth-level Dou Qi? And his strength..."

  Under the impact of Zuo Lun's heavenly blade, his arm felt a burning pain, and his feet, which were rooted to the ground, suddenly became light and floating. His body's balance was instantly destroyed, and his legs, which had been advancing, hastily retreated to adjust the lost balance. His eyes stared at the approaching Qian Jing, filled with surprise - this Qian Jing was so different from what he had heard! Fourth-level Dou Qi? Wasn't he a month younger than him? And that power, even Rudi didn't have as much strength as him, did he?

  "Judging from his appearance, it seems that he is more straightforward. I'll use the agility of my Muyan Beast Fighting Technique to dodge his impact first, consume his fighting spirit and strength, and then find his weakness before making a move!"

  At the moment when Zuo Lun Tian's blade retreated, he instantly adjusted his state, put away his disdainful attitude towards Qian Jing, and made various fake movements with his hands and feet on the ground.

  "Huh? My Dou Qi?" Gan Jing himself was startled, and his pursuit speed also slowed down slightly. Before going to sleep, he only had third-level Dou Qi, how did it become fourth-level Dou Qi after sleeping for a night? Could it be that when he was tempering in the "Endless World", when he was short of power later on, using Dou Qi as an auxiliary, he was too focused on tempering and didn't notice that his Dou Qi had broken through during that tempering session?

  Is that okay? Gan Jing felt incredibly amused, it seemed that the hat being slapped on his face not only brought a terrible nickname but also brought more unexpected benefits, I wonder what will happen if he continues to practice inside?

  Zuo Lun's Heavenly Blade Four Limbs exerted force like a wolf bursting forth, flashing to the side of Gan Jing, his hind legs swept in a whirlwind kick towards his waist, and a humming sound echoed through the air, like the sound of a rod being swung around before it hits its mark.

  "Beautiful!"

  The senior warrior disciples exclaimed, Zuo Lun Tian's blade was slightly weaker and should have been at a disadvantage, but he managed to seize the upper hand in battle with his movements that were like those of a true demon ape.

  "This kid's fighting spirit, if he breaks through again, a ranking of 7th or even 6th in the grade is his for the taking."

  Qian Jin looked at the low-flying left Rong Tian Blade, making an evaluation, while sinking his waist and crossing his right arm to suppress the horizontal swing, meeting the whirlwind kick of Left Rong Tian Blade.

  Arm hits thigh? A loud cry from the senior warrior students, even if you are now a fourth-level warrior and can use the combat skills of a fourth-level warrior, but your arm has already fully rotated against the thigh that has been raised, and the one who takes advantage is still Left Rongtian Blade, the difference between leg and arm lies in...

  Bang! The arms and legs kicked by the whirlwind collided, and the solid muscle collision sound was emitted again. Luren Tianjian's arms, which were propping up the ground, were shaken off the ground by the counterforce. In mid-air, he stared incredulously at Qianjin's powerful right arm, wondering if this strength could rival that of the top-ranked powerhouses who possessed one-sixth of the savage bloodline?

  Before the crowd's exclamation could even come out, Qian Jin took a step forward to chase after Zuo Luntian's retreating blade. His arm was instantly raised high, and his fourth-level Dou Qi suddenly surged in, causing his skin to become even more taut under the swelling of his muscles. The fist formed by his five fingers rapidly smashed down.

  Zuo Luntian looked at the falling fist, suddenly feeling that his eyes seemed to have an illusion, and what was falling was not a fist, but a hammer! The dryness of the swing was not an arm, he was like swinging an iron hammer! That's right! Just like the blacksmith shop where he had applied for a job before, the blacksmith inside was swinging an iron hammer!

  At almost the same time, several senior warrior disciples were also stunned. What kind of warrior skill is this? How does it look like a rough blacksmith hammering an iron pestle?

  "This is...". The withered old principal sat on the tree, his narrowed eyes suddenly jumped open a little wider, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Isn't this the blacksmith hammering? What's this kid doing?"

  Zuo Lun's right leg, which had gone numb and sore from the shock of the Heavenly Blade, suddenly retracted, while his left leg simultaneously kicked upwards with great force. The demonic ape's fighting technique was one that he had mastered thoroughly, and this strike was a counterattack that it would use when it found itself flipped onto its back during a battle with an opponent, taking advantage of the angle and the fact that its legs were longer than its arms to launch a sneak attack.

  The foot that rapidly expanded in the dry and powerful pupil was not affected by the fake movements, and the instinctive smash of the iron hammer that had been practiced thousands of times in the "Endless World" was the red-hot pig iron in his eyes.

  Bang! Crack...

  Fists and feet collided, Left Lun Tian's body floated away from the ground, heavily crashing onto the ground, his entire left leg emitting several cracking sounds of dislocated bones. Just as he was about to get up with one hand supporting himself on the ground, Qian Jin's foot had already reached his abdomen, fiercely kicking him in the stomach and sending him flying over a meter away. After rolling twice on the ground, he finally came to a stop, spitting out a mouthful of yellow bile from his mouth.

  He lay on the ground, his muscles twitching all over, a manifestation of leg pain and lower abdominal pain causing his whole body to convulse. With great difficulty, he raised his head to look at the back of Kaneki, who was walking away while blowing on his fist. His eyes were filled with incredulity - how could this person be so strong? With such incredible abilities, why was he only ranked tenth in their year? What exactly was that attack just now, some kind of warrior's martial skill? Why did it look like... ironwork?

  "Is this okay?" The lean principal looked at Rodriguez with inquiring eyes: "Just now, that was the way of a blacksmith's hammer. I know he can win, but this win is too mysterious? Not even using his signature battle technique, it's a bit unexpected for me."
