We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 223 During working hours, please address me as Lord Kong.

"Boom~"

With a deafening roar as the boulder crashed to the ground, a shallow crater was instantly smashed into the once pristine white wall, and Ye Tianxing was embedded within it.

Around him were huge cracks, like lotus petals, spreading in all directions, standing out conspicuously against the pristine white wall.

All of a sudden.

Upon witnessing this scene, the martial arts students throughout the Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall were overwhelmed with shock, as if struck by an invisible lightning bolt. Their thoughts froze instantly, all their senses went null and void, leaving only their hearts pounding wildly in their chests, as if trying to break free of their restraints.

In that brief moment, time seemed to stand still in the Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall, and the minds of many martial arts students, along with many physical education teachers, went completely blank.

The result before them was far beyond anyone's imagination; it was simply astonishing.

Ye Tianxing is no ordinary person or a mere figurehead; he is a true martial arts prodigy whose martial arts realm has reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

In Bozhou No. 3 Middle School, many physical education teachers are only at the Life Establishment Realm, and even the martial arts teachers who specialize in teaching martial arts students in the senior year of high school do not have any peak Transcendent Realm teachers.

For a small, third-tier city like Bozhou, a martial artist of this level is already considered a top-tier expert.

And now?

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, a powerful peak Transcendent Realm martial artist was defeated by Shen Bailian.

Moreover, it wasn't just an ordinary peak of the Transcendent Realm.

Instead, he is a martial arts prodigy from Chang'an University, a top-tier martial arts university. With his strength, he could even hold his own against a martial artist in the early stages of the Sea Opening Realm for one or two rounds.

"Gulu~"

"Hiss~" "Hiss~ Just now, just now... what exactly happened?" A martial arts student, hearing the deafening echo in his ears, couldn't help but swallow hard in fear.

Throughout the entire Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

"I don't know, but could you please stop hissing? If you keep hissing, you'll suck up all the cold air from Earth, and then you'll be the culprits behind Earth's warming!" A tall, thin martial arts student couldn't help but complain when he heard the constant hissing around him.

"So, you saw clearly what just happened?"

"No, just like I said at the beginning, I don't know either." The martial arts student shook his head nonchalantly and continued:

"But I'm curious, this Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall was only recently built, and there's such a big hole in the wall. Who's going to pay for the repairs?"

The group of martial arts students: "..."

"What exactly did Old Shen just do? When did the gap between martial arts prodigies widen so much that he could achieve such an easy and effortless instant kill?!"

Huang Xu and Gao Lei stared blankly at the figure embedded in the wall. They could vaguely recognize it as Ye Tianxing from the corner of his clothes.

The two of them were just working with Chen Shiyu to give the seriously injured Wei Peng a simple bandage. Although they heard Shen Bailian's time limit order, they just took it as a joke.

After all, if you put yourself in their shoes, how could such a thing be possible?

In terms of background and power alone, although Ye Tianxing's Changda Martial Arts University is not as good as Shen Bailian's Tiangang Academy, it is only slightly inferior.

In terms of status, both Shen Bailian and Ye Tianxing are officially recognized martial arts prodigies of the Great Xia Dynasty.

From any perspective, Ye Tianxing had no possibility of backing down, nor could he afford to, because he had already revealed the reputation of Chang'an Martial Arts University while traveling outside.

If he backs down, it won't just be Ye Tianxing who loses face; it will also affect Chang'an Martial Arts University and all his alumni.

Huang Xu and Gao Lei thought of all sorts of ways to resolve the awkward situation, but they never thought of this one. They never expected that Shen Bailian would actually make a move so suddenly after three seconds.

Show no mercy.

Furthermore, Ye Tianxing, a martial arts expert at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, was blasted away without any chance to fight back when faced with a casual strike from Shen Bailian. His fate is unknown.

This result is truly appalling.

Compared to the shocked, gossiping, and gasping martial arts students below the stage, Ye Huang on the stage was completely numb, and his heart had turned ice-cold.

"Do not……"

"impossible!"

"What, what... what the hell is this?!" Ye Huang's eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and he stared blankly at Ye Tianxing, who was now completely embedded in the wall, unable to believe his eyes.

"Tick-tock!" "Tick-tock!"

Drops of bright red blood gathered from Ye Huang's now-vanished left ear and dripped onto the arena floor, but he was completely unaware of this.

Or perhaps, in his extreme shock, he ignored the “slight” pain of his shattered ear. His lips trembled slightly, and he tried several times to speak, but could not utter a single word, only managing weak gasps.

As if deprived of the ability to speak, they could only stand there blankly, letting shock and fear surge within their hearts.

"Alright, the troublemaker has gotten off the stage." Shen Bailian stood calmly on the stage, not taking what had happened earlier to heart at all, as if he had simply swatted away a mosquito. He looked at Ye Huang and said indifferently:
"Now it's time for our duel. I'd like to see just how strong this martial arts prodigy who's older than me really is."

To be honest, Shen Bailian hadn't expected Ye Tianxing to be so weak, even though that attack just now contained 50% of his strength and his previous understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

This refers to the unity of heaven and humanity.

However, if it were a group of martial arts prodigies from the Heavenly Gang Academy who were of the same caliber as him, they would definitely be able to block his casual strike just now.

The current result only proves that without a battle body to protect him, ordinary martial arts prodigies of the same level are as easy to crush as an insect in his hands.

"Senior Brother Shen, I love you!"

"He's so handsome, even I, a man, am a little tempted."

Fuck you, get out!

"..."

In the blink of an eye, after hearing Shen Bailian's speech, all the martial arts students at Bozhou No. 3 Middle School realized that this matter was not completely over yet.

Simply put, there's still plenty of melons to eat.

Although the outcome of the battle was already a foregone conclusion and an undeniable fact the moment Ye Tianxing was knocked away.

But this still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the martial arts students for gossip.

Because the difference in combat power between the two was too great, many people wanted to see how Ye Huang would be brutally beaten by Shen Bailian, in order to vent their anger.

Ye Huang had just stirred up a lot of hatred.

But when Shen Bailian's sunny voice suddenly rang in Ye Huang's ears, it was like the murmur of a demon, instantly making his body even more stiff.

Compared to his previous high spirits, Ye Huang's heart was now filled with fear.

duel?

Are you kidding me? !

Ye Tianxing, a martial artist at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, was instantly killed. Now, he is being asked to fight Shen Bailian, a mere martial arts apprentice?
It's astonishing that Shen Bailian could even say such a thing. And why were those martial arts students from Bozhou No. 3 Middle School so excited?

For a martial artist at the Transcendent Realm to attack a martial arts apprentice is inherently an unfair fight, and also contrary to the principles of martial arts.

The martial arts skills of these martial arts students are really too low!

A soft sigh rose from the corner where Ye Tianxing had appeared, and a middle-aged man instantly appeared beside Ye Huang:

"Young friend, I am a teacher at Chang'an Martial Arts University. Please give me some face and let this embarrassing incident end here."

"Teacher, quick, save me!" Upon seeing the middle-aged man appear, Ye Huang immediately hid behind him as if he had seen a savior, crying and pleading with snot and tears streaming down his face.

It was as if they had suffered a tremendous injustice.

But in reality, apart from his left ear, which had been caught in the aftershocks, Ye Huang had not experienced any battles, and Shen Bailian had never attacked him.

The middle-aged man glanced at the boy behind him with disappointment, shook his head helplessly, and said that although the boy had talent, he lacked the corresponding temperament and it was basically impossible for him to achieve anything great.

This is within the territory of Great Xia. Even if Shen Bailian is completely unscrupulous, he still has to consider the face of the Great Xia government. He will not harm Ye Huang's foundation, nor will he put him to death.

For a martial arts prodigy, as long as their essence is not harmed and their life is not in danger, what does it matter if they are seriously injured multiple times?

With the presence of a medical pod and a variety of rare and precious materials, their safety is assured.

Ye Huang's behavior was a clear indication that he was terrified.

Although the middle-aged man was disappointed with Ye Huang's performance, no matter what, Ye Huang was a martial arts prodigy and a designated student of Chang'an Martial Arts University, so he should still be protected.

As for character and temperament, it's not impossible to cultivate them through proper upbringing.

"ended."

"Hey, I thought there would be some good drama, but I didn't expect the plot to be so convoluted..."

"However, Senior Brother Shen is indeed Senior Brother Shen. In just over half a year, he has become so powerful that even a peak Transcendent Realm expert could not last a single round."

"Yes, it's absolutely terrifying. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would have thought someone was joking..."

Many martial arts students below the stage had a premonition that this matter was probably over after the middle-aged man revealed his identity.

To be able to teach at a top-tier martial arts university, one's strength must be at least at the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm.

Even a martial artist who has just stabilized their cultivation at the early stage of the Opening Sea Realm can easily take on ten opponents at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

"Old Shen." Wei Peng, who was enjoying a moment of blissful intimacy while receiving simple treatment from Qi Shiyu, immediately sprang to his feet and rushed to the edge of the arena upon hearing that even the teachers from Chang'an Martial Arts University had jumped out. He lowered his voice and called out:

Let's call it a day.

"Yes, as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope. Old Shen, let's go fishing." Huang Xu and Gao Lei responded quietly, also urging him to go.

They were afraid that Shen Bailian might do something impulsive.

They are at that age, so of course they understand the dangers of youthful impulsiveness; a single impulsive act could very well lead to unimaginable consequences.

However, what Wei Peng didn't know was that it was too late for the three of them to say these words now.

Shen Bailian was thoroughly enraged by these repeated obstacles.

"Give you some face?"

"hehe."

"Who do you think you are, a teacher who doesn't deserve your position? You think you can get my respect?"

A surge of anger slowly ignited in Shen Bailian's deep, abyss-like eyes. Amidst the incredulous and shocked gazes of all the martial arts students, and the embarrassed expression on the middle-aged man's face, he coldly said:

“Before, when that coward behind you arrogantly challenged the martial arts students of Bozhou No. 3 Middle School, you did not stand up for justice; when that coward ridiculed you, you did not stand up for justice.”

“When that cowardly senior brother ran out and bullied the weak, you didn’t step out to uphold justice.”

"Now that I've shown my strength and am about to duel with that martial arts prodigy of the same age behind you, you're the one who stands up for justice."

"Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! The most laughable thing ever!!!"

"Indeed, Senior Brother Shen is absolutely right."

"Damn it, so this old bastard was hiding in the back all along, watching Ye Huang mock our school's martial arts students without doing anything."

"Senior Brother Shen displayed his strength and beat Ye Tianxing, whose life or death is unknown; and now Ye Huang is about to be brutally beaten. That old bastard is scared, afraid that he won't be able to explain himself when he gets back, so he had no choice but to take action!" A tall, thin man's eyes flashed as he quickly analyzed the whole story.

"I see, that explains it!"

"How dare you say that? Are you out of your mind?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm mentally challenged. How could a teacher from Chang'an Martial Arts University possibly lay a hand on someone mentally challenged?" the tall, thin man said matter-of-factly.

"High! It's really high!"

Even Wei Peng and the other two couldn't help but give the tall, thin man a thumbs up when they heard this.

……

"Shut up!" The middle-aged man was enraged by the chattering around him. His thunderous voice boomed, causing the eardrums of the martial arts students from Bozhou No. 3 Middle School to ache.

"Kong Chaowu, look at this! This is the martial arts quality of the martial arts students in your Bozhou City!"

The Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall fell silent once again. No one had expected that Kong Chaowu would be here, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

After all, the other side has come to our doorstep and sent out a powerful expert at the Opening Sea Realm. If the prominent figures of Bozhou City don't step in to take charge, what kind of image would that be?

However, something unexpected happened to the middle-aged man.

boom!
Amidst the roar, a fierce gust of wind swept towards the middle-aged man's chest, instantly causing him to stagger back more than ten steps and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Kong Chaowu, what are you...?"

"During working hours, please address me as City Lord Kong." A majestic voice echoed from the void, causing Ye Huang's heart to pound wildly.

Because in that instant, he felt as if he had seen the gates of hell.

"You..." The middle-aged man, his mouth full of blood, clutched his chest and glared angrily at a certain spot.

However, the next moment, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

"Shh!"

A cold, sharp light flashed across the arena. With a slight thought, Shen Bailian instantly retrieved the Dragon Slayer from his storage ring, its sharp, gleaming blade pointing directly at the middle-aged man.

"Since you want to stand in front of that coward, then settle this with the methods of a martial artist!"
