After serving three years in prison, he swept across the land upon his release.

"Dragon Tiger Claw, Wu Bo!" On the field, Wu Bo shouted, and with a whoosh, his massive body pounced towards Jingkou Xiang like a fierce tiger.

His hands transformed into sharp claws, his attacks were fierce, and the air whistled as his claws slid across Iguchi Sho's head and body, forcing him to stagger back several steps.

"As you can see, Wu Bo used the Dragon Tiger Claw, a powerful and fierce style of Chinese boxing, as soon as he entered the arena. Wu Bo's hands transformed into sharp claws, and his attack was so fierce that Jingguchi Xiang could only dodge and retreat continuously," a host in a blue suit shouted.

"Yes, this is also a move that Wu Bo is good at. It's not hard to see that Teacher Zhong must have made tactical arrangements in private. He knows that in a pure strength contest, Iguchi Sho is not as strong as Wu Bo, so he wants to defeat his opponent in one go." Another host in a black suit added.

Boom!

A sound like a hammer striking echoed across the field as Wu Bo's right claw slammed into Iguchi Sho.

"Hey! Wu Bo's move worked!" The host in the blue suit exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise. "Will this move work?"

"Wait a minute," the host in the black suit frowned, "Oh dear, this move was blocked by Iguchi Sho's cross defense, what a pity."

"However, we can see that Wu Bo's move was effective. Iguchi Sho is already less than a meter outside the circle. If he retreats any further, he will have nowhere left to retreat to."

"Yes."

At this moment, the audience also shouted in unison:

"Go Wu Bo!"

"Go Wu Bo!"

As if he had heard the cheers of encouragement, Wu Bo pressed his advantage, his claws becoming even sharper, like blades slicing through the air. Although Iguchi Sho kept blocking with his arms, the continuous attacks made it difficult for him to find an opportunity to counterattack.

At the same time, Sho Iguchi was only two steps away from the edge of the court.

"Kid, you've got nowhere to retreat!" Wu Bo panted heavily, but inwardly he sneered triumphantly. He twisted his waist and bent down, gathering power in his right claw, and then thrust it out like a sharp blade.

"Here it comes! This is Dragon Claw's famous 'Downward Curving Claw,' a powerful and heavy attack. Can Iguchi Sho block it?"

As the host exclaimed in surprise, the audience held their breath.

However, only Qin Wuchen noticed that Ono Eiji, who was standing in front of the audience, chuckled softly, as if all of this was within his expectations.

With a whoosh, before the claws could reach him, Iguchi Sho performed a powerful front flip, dodging Wu Bo's attack and leaping back to the center of the arena.

Wu Bo stared wide-eyed as he watched this rare opportunity slip through his fingers, filled with regret.

"Oh dear, what a pity! Iguchi Sho dodged Wu Bo's attack with a front flip."

"Yes, Wu Bo's attack this time was a bit too hasty. Although Iguchi Sho had nowhere to retreat, he was good at seizing opportunities. He anticipated that Wu Bo wanted to take him down in one fell swoop, so he took advantage of the gap in his opponent's strength to dodge the attack."

Seeing this scene, the students in the audience all sighed in despair. Zhong He, in particular, was furious, his veins bulging, but he still suppressed his anger and shouted at Wu Bo:

"Wu Bo, don't be discouraged, press your advantage!"

Taking two deep breaths, Wu Bo's forehead was covered in sweat from the continuous attacks, but upon hearing his master's words, Wu Bo gritted his teeth, roared, and launched another attack.

Off the field, Xia Tong was also watching the match intently. From the beginning to the end, Wu Bo had been suppressing his opponent, which made her expression slightly relaxed.

However, Qin Wuchen on the side was different. He clasped his fists, his brows furrowed, and he was still intently watching the match.

"What are you still worried about? Hasn't Wu Bo been suppressing that opponent all along?" Xia Tong asked, turning her head with great curiosity.

"Wu Bo's high-frequency attacks are very physically demanding," Qin Wuchen said calmly. "Iguchi Sho is dodging now because he's looking for an opportunity to turn the tide."

"A comeback in one strike?" Xia Tong craned her neck upon hearing this. "But after a few more moves, Iguchi Sho will be cornered by Wu Bo again. This time, if Wu Bo seizes the opportunity, Iguchi Sho won't be able to escape so easily."

"Perhaps, the other party had already anticipated this..." Qin Wuchen replied calmly.

Xia Tong looked confused, her eyes glazed over, but she didn't press for more information. Instead, she turned her attention back to the competition field.

"Wu Bo's offensive shows no signs of abating. We can see that although Iguchi Sho is doing his best to defend, he is still inevitably being forced into a desperate situation," said the host in blue.

"Yes, Wu Bo can't make the same mistake again this time," the host in black said anxiously, clenching his fists.

Swish, swish, swish. Although Wu Bo's punches were still fierce and sharp, they were far less powerful than before. Iguchi Sho noticed this and a smile appeared on his lips: "What's wrong? Little Fatty, your punches seem weaker."

Wu Bo gritted his teeth and replied, "Dealing with you is more than enough!"

Immediately afterwards, Wu Bo took a step forward with a thud with his right foot, his left hand holding a sharp claw that had been gathering power in front of his waist. With a whoosh, he hooked it forward, as if the air had been torn apart.

With this hook, Wu Bo almost pushed his entire upper body forward, his momentum no less than that of his previous downward claw strike.

"Here it comes, it's the Dragon Tiger Claw's 'Forward Claw'! This time, Iguchi Sho won't have time to do a somersault to dodge!"

The claws, like those of a fierce tiger, came roaring as they attacked. Iguchi Sho knew that if he took the blow head-on, he would probably be blasted away. So he bent over and dodged the attack.

"Oh dear, what a pity, Iguchi Sho dodged the attack by pressing down."

"Yes, jujitsu is indeed a strength in karate, and Iguchi Sho has made good use of that... No, Wu Bo seems to have anticipated this; his expression doesn't seem surprised at all!"

Wu Bo smiled faintly. His move was deliberately designed to force his opponent to bend over, because only in this way would Iguchi Sho's center of gravity be completely lowered.

His right claw had already been retracted beforehand, and with a whoosh, it struck again as Jingkou Xiang bent down.

"It's 'Upward Claw'! So that's what Wu Bo was planning—to launch a surprise attack while the opponent was completely off balance!"

"Can Iguchi Sho dodge these attacks?!"

The upward-curving claw, like an iron hammer, struck straight at Iguchi Sho's chin. At that moment, his entire body was like a straw bent by the wind, and he had no time to dodge the attack.

But at this critical moment, Iguchi Sho's figure seemed to become ethereal. His movements were ghostly, and his figure transformed into countless flashes. After a few moves, he hid behind Wu Bo.

The field fell silent. Wu Bo stared wide-eyed at everything in front of him in disbelief. In just half a second, he clearly saw Iguchi Sho's figure disappear without a trace.

The claws missed their mark, and everyone in the arena stared blankly. After a moment, the host gasped and exclaimed in shock:

"It's the Spirit Void Step! Iguchi Sho actually used the Spirit Void Step, how is that possible?"

"Isn't the Spirit Void Step only for martial artists at the fifth level of martial arts? How did Iguchi Sho manage to do that? Is he a genius?!"

Everyone in the arena was amazed by Iguchi Sho's unexpected performance, but only Qin Wuchen saw the clue in it.

No matter what, Jingguchi Xiang, who is at the third level of martial arts, could never learn the Lingxu Step. The true energy required for each use of the Lingxu Step is beyond what a third level of martial arts can bear.

There is only one possibility: Ono Eiji secretly transferred true energy into Iguchi Sho, but the transfer of true energy alone would not allow Iguchi Sho to immediately learn the Lingxu Step.

This made Qin Wuchen think of a possibility—the Peach Blossom Technique, an ancient witchcraft that allows one to temporarily inherit the skills of others.

They were definitely prepared... and it was witchcraft too. There are no coincidences like that in the world.

Qin Wuchen sighed inwardly.
