Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

Chapter 136 The Martial Arts Competition Begins

As for the remaining thirteen people, most of them fought extremely hard to make it to the final selection, and their strength was much weaker than the others.

The reason for saying "most" is because of the dock gate and Li Cheng on the list.

He did not see the performance in the martial arts competition.

To be honest, he was quite surprised when he first saw Li Cheng's name on the list of twenty people.

He had seen Li Cheng sleeping every day, and he never expected him to be shortlisted.

I didn't see him participate in any martial arts matches.

Later, I heard from the martial arts instructors around me that a guy had gotten in through connections and was promoted all the way to the final selection.

He immediately realized that Li Cheng was that person.

"It's probably that dock gate that wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to spread their fame, so they bribed their way in and put their people in the final selection."

This was Bi Hai's speculation about the matter.

Besides this, he couldn't think of any benefit in using the back door.

Even so, the fame that spreads won't be a good one.

When a fight breaks out, their true colors will be revealed.

Martial arts sects are best off relying on their strength to build their reputation.

He glanced at Li Cheng beside him; the guy, as before, went to the stands and closed his eyes to rest.

He shook his head, no longer paying attention to Li Cheng's matter.

He now needs to focus all his energy on his few formidable enemies.

After confirming that all twenty people had arrived, the competition began.

The first to make a move were two martial artists who were not on the list of formidable opponents, but even so, Bi Hai watched very carefully.

They are now among the final martial arts masters to be selected, and they must be treated with the same seriousness.

One game, two games, a third game—the name of the Blue Sea was mentioned repeatedly.

The opponent is a formidable rival ranked sixth on the Prodigy Ranking.

Bi Hai took a deep breath and walked down.

Although his opponent was ranked two places higher than him, it didn't mean he was invincible. In the end, martial arts are all about strength.

An hour later.

Bi Hai dragged his body, covered in fist and foot wounds, back to the stands.

As he walked up, the martial arts masters around him looked at him with utmost respect.

Because Bi Hai performed at an extremely high level on the stage, he managed to defeat the opponent, who was also a highly regarded martial artist.

Martial arts practitioners, especially those from the mainland, knew that these two were on the list, even though they were two places behind.

Unexpectedly, the result was that the blue sea was superior.

Ultimately, martial arts are all about strength, and this level of strength has earned the recognition of all martial artists.

"Hehehe, hahaha."

Bihai, who had just sat down, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Whether it was defeating a powerful enemy or the awe-inspiring gazes of the surrounding martial arts masters, he felt extremely comfortable.

This is exactly what he wanted.

"There's no rest break during the final selection, so I need to get back into shape as soon as possible."

Bi Hai took out a pill that nourished his blood and qi and put it in his mouth.

He then sat down and began to relax and rest.

"Number 21." At that moment, a voice came from the arena, announcing the start of the next round of matches.

Li Cheng stood up and walked from the steps to the arena.

"This match is actually Li Cheng's. Who is his opponent? This is truly a lucky match," Bi Hai thought to himself.

Li Cheng doesn't have much strength, so defeating his opponent doesn't require much effort, which means he can achieve a better state of mind.

At times like these, any single aspect of the situation could potentially determine the outcome of the match.

Besides, when fighting Li Cheng, there's no need to use any special abilities.

"I wish I could beat Li Cheng, but alas, luck is also a part of strength," Bi Hai sighed inwardly.

As Li Cheng walked onto the ring, his opponent also walked over from the other side.

The other person was a young man with bronze skin and a hearty smile on his face.

Upon seeing Li Cheng, he grinned broadly and said, "Hello, please give me your guidance."

She has a very good personality.

Looking at the vast blue sea from the stands, my heart sank to my stomach.

"It was this guy who fought with Li Cheng. This is troublesome."

The other party was the martial artist ranked fifth on the list of geniuses.

He is the number one opponent on his list of seven formidable rivals.

Unexpectedly, it was this person who fought with Li Cheng.

If he maintains his better form, his chances of defeating his opponent will be extremely slim.

"Li Cheng, give it your all! You're the hope of the dock gang. If you want to spread your fame, then show some strength." Bi Hai cheered for Li Cheng in his heart.

"It's that guy who got in through connections."

"Finally, we'll see him make his move. There's no escaping it now."

"It would be one thing if he hit someone else, but he actually hit Ji Le, who is the strongest in this competition. He'll be lucky if he doesn't get beaten to a pulp."

The martial arts instructors in the stands immediately started discussing the two fighters on the ring.

One is a well-known insider, the other is the number one in strength earned through sheer hard work.

The result of the collision was without a doubt.

It's just a matter of seeing just how badly Li Cheng will be beaten.

"Hello." Li Cheng nodded in response to Ji Le's greeting.

"Begin!" the referee shouted.

Li Cheng stomped the ground and charged forward, arriving in front of Ji Le, where he punched him hard with both fists.

"Going all out from the start? That would easily deplete your stamina too quickly, which isn't a wise move," Ji Le said with a smile.

However, he still had the mind to give Li Cheng pointers.

It displays unparalleled confidence and formidable strength.

Then, he threw both of his fists at Li Cheng.

The two fists clashed, which was originally an ordinary punching match.

For a dirty martial arts master, once fists and feet meet, nothing happens.

However, Ji Le's expression suddenly changed.

He felt an overwhelming force coming from the other person's fist.

He involuntarily stumbled back two steps, finally stopping by stomping his foot hard on the ground.

Looking at the fists again, the area where they collided was somewhat red.

"Such immense power, even greater than mine." He widened his eyes.

As the fifth-ranked martial artist on the list of prodigies, he achieved his position precisely because of his innate superhuman strength.

Unexpectedly, there was someone even stronger than him.

How come there was no news about such a person before?

Before he could think any further, another round of punches from Li Cheng arrived.

"I can't take it head-on. If he's stronger than me, I'll use speed to overcome his slowness. This kind of martial artist I've never heard of before must be weak in agility."

Ji Le immediately dodged.

But after he dodged, Li Cheng's fist was even faster, striking the spot where he had dodged.

Bang.

The punch landed on Ji Le's face, shattering his smile. He could no longer laugh. He was no match for either strength or speed. In martial arts, the worst thing is to be completely crushed. This was the outcome.

Sure enough, Li Cheng's fists rained down.

Ji Le quickly parried the blows, managing to exchange a few punches at first, but then he was powerless to fight back and could only cover his head as he was beaten.

This scene silenced all the noise from the stands.

The many martial arts masters who had been discussing how badly Li Cheng would be beaten fell silent.
