When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 33: Breakthrough, Crouching Dragon Emerges from the Mountain
Bai Ze's opponent's ID is "Fist to Fist," and his virtual appearance is around twenty-four or twenty-five years old with a handsome face.

With looks like that, he probably won't lack girlfriends.

However, as soon as Bai Ze spoke, "Fist to Fist" suddenly fell silent.

Your appearance on the internet can be deceiving, but your demeanor won't.

As it turns out, Bai Ze's words were a bit hurtful.

"Hahaha,"

"Fist to Fist" chuckled dryly twice and said, "So it's Xiao Nan's mother. Sigh, kids these days really don't learn anything good. A perfectly fine boy has to wear a pink wig."

“You don’t have a girlfriend,” Bai Ze said.

"Little friend, are you afraid of pain? Should I go easy on you?"

"You don't have a girlfriend."

"Brother, I have a kind heart..."

"You don't have a girlfriend."

The more someone tries to change the subject, the more they reveal how much they care about it. Bai Ze used one move to break all defenses, causing the other person's face to visibly turn red.

"You—we martial artists should focus our energy on the path of martial arts. Women will only hinder my progress," "Fist to Fist" shouted loudly.

"I'm in a hurry." Bai Ze's words remained brief and forceful.

Upon hearing this, the phrase "fist to fist" became a hot topic.

"Three minutes are up. Prepare for battle. Pain relief for death is limited to 20%."

The realism of the StarNet is 80%, and the pain is also at the same level. However, if it is fatal, then 80% is a bit too high. Someone might actually die because of it. Therefore, restrictions are placed on the pain sensation at the time of death.

"3, 2, 1, battle begins!"

The StarNet notification had barely finished when the "fistful blows" arrived in a flash.

His gait was graceful and swaying, reminiscent of the bird-like movements in the "Five Animal Frolics," suggesting he was practicing the Crane-style boxing technique from the Imitation Boxing style.

Imitative Boxing is considered one of the most suitable boxing styles for novice martial artists. Martial artists who have learned "Five Animal Frolics" can quickly get started and have a very promising future. Even Bai Ze was able to use the moves of Black Tiger Afu because he had already mastered "Five Animal Frolics" to perfection and laid an extremely solid foundation.

Otherwise, even if Bai Ze could make his words come true, he could only force his body to do so, and wouldn't be able to do it so smoothly.

At this moment, "Fist to Fist" unleashed his full power, demonstrating his profound skill. No wonder he was able to win so many matches at the one-star level.

In the blink of an eye, he covered ten meters, but just as he was about to meet Bai Ze, he suddenly stepped to the side, his body turning like a crane taking flight.

A smile appeared on his flushed face as he clenched his fingers into a crane's beak and thrust them toward Bai Ze's ribs with a "fistful punch".

In a bare-handed sword fight, the swordsman certainly has the advantage, but it's not an insurmountable contest. Especially a martial artist with extensive combat experience can greatly diminish this advantage, for example—

'I!'

The thought of "every punch landing" was racing through my mind; the move was about to succeed.

But at this moment——

"Wandering clouds startle the dragon."

A whisper, a flash of sword light.

Bai Ze suddenly turned and drew his sword. The swift sword light, like a swimming dragon, leaped into the eyes of the "fist-to-flesh" opponent with a fierce momentum. Then he felt a chill in his throat, and his whole body felt like it was flying.

My gaze rose, and I saw the pink rabbit head looking at me, its eyes seemingly smiling. Then the world flipped, and my gaze fell back down.

'Damn! I was careless.'

The moment that thought crossed his mind, his head fell to the ground.

One move and the winner is decided.

Bai Ze flicked his longsword, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground. "Once broken, the Crouching Dragon emerges from the mountain."

He added a victory pronouncement to his own statement.

"This guy without a girlfriend is a bit weak, or rather, 'Wandering Clouds and Startling Dragons' is a bit too strong," Bai Ze muttered to himself, watching the bloodstains and longsword slowly disappear from his hand. No need for a double strike; if this one sword hits someone, it's practically a death sentence or serious injury.

Because Bai Ze has already entered the realm of innate fetal breathing, every moment is the most suitable time to draw his sword. He does not need to deliberately follow the rhythm of breathing. Moreover, his internal energy is pure and inexhaustible, and the momentum he can accumulate in his sword-drawing technique far exceeds that of others.

It can only be said that the martial arts chosen by Mu Yaoguang are indeed worthy of her.

'If one practices breathing exercises to replenish vital energy, the stamina can be sustained even longer.'

Thinking of this, Bai Ze asked, "StarNet, is there no Yuan Qi in the Martial Arts Arena?"

He had sensed it before: there was no vital energy in this fighting arena, just plain air.

Even the subtle smells in the air are different from those in reality; this is probably the limitation of an 80% realism.

"Martial artists below three stars do not require a Yuan Qi environment, so the Martial Arts Arena will save on this computing power. If martial artists require it, they can apply to the Star Network to have it added," the Star Network replied.

"Martial artist Bai Ze, do you wish to add a Yuan Qi environment?"

"No need," Bai Ze shook his head.

Everyone else doesn't need the energy environment, but he adds it. Isn't that just self-exposing?
There's no need to reveal himself for now, and Bai Ze hasn't reached the point where he needs to replenish his energy.

As he summarized the situation, he raised his hand to start the next round.

But just then, a notification sound rang out.

[A friend request has been sent to you. Do you accept?]

A notification box appeared, along with the accompanying message: "[I was careless just now, I didn't dodge, let's play another round!]"

'You're also surnamed Ma?' Bai Ze thought to himself as he looked at the comment.

Thinking this way, Bai Ze didn't reject the other party and directly agreed to the application.

His win rate with "fist to fist" is quite good, which shows that his actual strength is not bad, unlike Teacher Ma who is all talk and no action.

It's not easy to find a decent one-star martial artist in the middle of the night.

Not every strong martial artist is like "Fist to Fist" who doesn't have a girlfriend and can only relieve loneliness by fighting in the middle of the night.

【Application approved. 】

[Your friend invites you to a private match. Do you agree?]

At the same time, there were also private messages that were "hit hard": "One more round!"

The exclamation mark at the end speaks of his unwillingness to accept defeat.

Bai Ze readily agreed.

[Entering private space.]

The scene before them changed from an arena to a fighting ring, where a young man in martial arts uniform stood with a menacing aura, watching the pink rabbit head reappear.

Rabbit head again.

I didn't think much of it before, but now when I look at this headgear again, it just doesn't look right to me. The pink color even seems to carry a strange sense of mockery.

Fortunately, no one was watching the previous matches, otherwise...

Just thinking about that outcome makes my heart tremble.

"I took a deep breath and slowly assumed a fighting stance. I was careless before. Let's play another round."

"Oh?"

Bai Ze squinted at the familiar setup.

It is tiger-shaped.

Besides the crane shape, it is also good at the tiger shape, but I don't know if it has any other pictographic shapes.

It seems that the opponent hadn't used their full strength before.
