Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chen Mo's words shocked everyone present.

Although Chen Mo was not unknown, he had previously gained fame for killing two Ming Jin fighters, but that was, after all, a battle between Ming Jin fighters.

Dare to challenge the Dark Force level beyond your own?

For several years now, Heihe Town has not witnessed a remarkable feat of overpowering an opponent with superior skill.

If Chen Mo were to suffer a severe injury like Yue Lun, then the last layer of skin on Yin Tianqing's face would be pierced.

Even Yin Tianqing, from Tianqing Martial Arts School, found it unbelievable.

"Junior Brother Chen acted a bit impulsively."

"Even if he has good comprehension, it's a pipe dream to think that overt strength can surpass covert strength."

Luo Hou, the person involved, had his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

What is your strength, Chen Mo? Don't you even know it?

Luo Hou was originally an arrogant man, and seeing the limelight being delivered to his doorstep, how could he miss it?

He immediately took a large step forward, drawing all eyes to himself, and said, "In that case, I, Luo, will not stand on ceremony."

After speaking, he walked to the center of the arena, while Chen Mo slowly entered the arena, and the two bowed to each other as usual.

"Mantis Fist Luo Hou".

"Chen Mo, the Tiger-Taming Fist"

After Luo Hou finished bowing, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He immediately adopted the Mantis Fist stance, his feet kicking up dust as he quickly closed in on Chen Mo.

Praying Mantis Boxing is known for its fierce attacks. With his hands like hooks, he chopped down at Chen Mo's face.

"Luo Hou only has an offensive posture, not a defensive one, which means he can conclude that Chen Mo has no ability to fight back."

Yin Tianqing, watching from the sidelines, instantly noticed something amiss and thought to himself, "Hopefully Chen Mo can last a few more rounds..."

Real combat and a contest of techniques are ultimately different. Although Chen Mo could exchange dozens of blows with him, in a real fight with a martial artist with internal strength, he could only hope that Chen Mo could last a little longer.

When the force of the mantis fist was only a foot away from Chen Mo's forehead, he immediately twisted half of his body to dodge the force at a subtle angle.

The mantis fist struck empty air, and Luo Hou was slightly surprised.

At this moment, Chen Mo had only used the first half of his Flowing Cloud Strike, and the second half followed immediately. He suddenly stomped on the ground, used the force to spin around, and then followed up with a Rock-Shattering Strike.

The force of the punch thundered past, then swept towards Luo Hou's throat.

Luo Hou's pupils suddenly contracted!

He subconsciously switched from offense to defense, retracting his fists and adopting a blocking stance.

Chen Mo pondered deeply. If the Shattering Stone Strike clashed head-on with the opponent's defense, the difference between Ming Jin and An Jin would be particularly obvious.

Therefore, he changed his move again. Halfway through, the stone-breaking strike subtly changed. In an instant, his right fist turned into a snake shape, finding a tricky angle to pass through the opponent's two fists and go straight for his throat.

At this moment, Luo Hou's expression changed slightly.

However, he had considerable practical experience, and immediately turned halfway around to take the punch with his elbow.

"Bang!"

Luo Hou was knocked back three steps by the powerful punch, while Chen Mo was also knocked back two steps by the force of the hidden energy.

The two exchanged moves in a series of seemingly dazzling moves, but in reality, it was completed in just a few breaths.

Those onlookers who previously thought Chen Mo wouldn't last a single move now held their breath, their playful expressions gone, and they were not about to miss a single move.

Those most deeply shaken were Yin Tianqing and several other experts, who knew how difficult Chen Mo's series of changes in moves would be in actual combat!

Even martial artists with internal strength might not be as good as him.

Luo Hou was surprised, not expecting Chen Mo to force him into a defensive stance in just one round.

But he quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts and unleashed his Mantis Fist once again.

This time, they switched to the Mantis Fist, a style that combines offense and defense, but as a result, their attacks were not as fierce as before.

Chen Mo waited for an opportunity to strike. When his opponent was still ten feet away, he immediately took the Luo Yan Step, nimbly circled around to his side, and unleashed the Intercepting Wave Strike that he had been preparing.

"Bang! Bang!"

When the opponent strikes with their left hand using the "Intercepting Waves" technique, the resulting surge of energy is like a wave rolling out.

Upon contact, Chen Moqie experienced firsthand the power of hidden force.

He felt a surge of force from a punch travel through his hand into his body, penetrating his back as if striking a cow across a mountain.

"Well……"

In an instant, Chen Mo felt a surge of energy within his body, and immediately used the Luo Yan Step to retreat a distance.

Sweat had soaked his entire body.

"So this is hidden strength? It's indeed worlds apart from visible strength..."

Chen Mo pondered that this kind of competition would best bring out the power of his understanding of the Mountain and Water Cultivation Technique, so he immediately began to calculate and review the situation.

This heart-wrenching scene made Yin Tianqing and Yin Shanshan secretly clench their fists.

"It was truly remarkable that we managed to escape this time," Yin Tianqing murmured.

Yin Shanshan frowned as well. "Father, if it really doesn't work, should we make them stop?"

Yin Tianqing shook his head, "There's no reason for someone else to call a halt in the middle of a sparring match."

The two looked back at the arena.

Luo Hou attacked again, combining hooks and elbows. The eagle's hand moved back and forth like an iron hook, while its lower body remained as stable as an ancient pine tree rooted to the ground.

This is the classic starting stance of Mantis Boxing. While moving, it can be used to peck with the hook hand, and also incorporates elbow strikes and leg techniques.

However, Luo Hou has only achieved a slight level of mastery and has not yet reached the highest level. His boxing techniques are still somewhat raw.

Chen Mo unleashed the full power of Flowing Cloud Strike and Luo Yan Step, constantly twisting and changing direction with his feet, his pace even faster than Luo Hou's.

After some mental calculations, he now had a better understanding of the Mantis Boxing style. Although he couldn't directly counter it, it helped him dodge many attacks.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Someone shouted from the sidelines.

Seeing that he couldn't get close to Chen Mo, Luo Hou felt a little anxious. But then he noticed that Chen Mo's steps were a little unsteady, so he took a big step and leaped forward like a leopard.

Mantis Boxing can be wide and expansive, yet it can also be controlled and gathered, demonstrating remarkable flexibility.

However, the problem is...

Luo Hou's surprise attack was too hasty, resulting in a somewhat stiff and rigid posture, lacking gentleness.

The hook-like hand, as sharp as an iron hook, suddenly approached Chen Mo's face.

Ten feet.

Seven feet.

Three feet.

Two feet.

In an instant!

Chen Mo abruptly withdrew the "flaw" he had deliberately revealed earlier, and used Luo Yan Step to its fullest extent. He dodged the hook hand by turning to the side, and when the opponent just missed him by a shoulder, he immediately followed up with a whip punch.

The sixth form of the Tiger Subduing Fist: Swallow Return!

The whip-fist was so fast that it almost left a blur, landing instantly on Luo Hou's back.

"Bang!"

The force of the punch, combined with Luo Hou's own impact, left him no time to stop, causing him to stumble and rush to the edge of the arena.

Without any delay, Chen Mo had already prepared the Stone Smash. He leaped forward and, taking advantage of his opponent's unsteady footing, unleashed his most practiced and powerful straight punch!

Zhao Huayuan's expression changed drastically.

He never expected the competition to develop to this point!

Luo Hou is a dignified early-stage Dark Force martial artist, and he has also made some progress in the Mantis Fist. How could he lose to Chen Mo, who is not even at the peak of Ming Force?

In the blink of an eye.

The rubble crashed down with a deafening roar!

Luo Hou immediately raised his elbow to block, and the moment the two made contact, his expression changed drastically, because the fist force contained in this punch had already subtly surpassed ordinary Ming Jin.

At this moment, Chen Mo's face was as dark as a deep pool.

Boom!

The force of the falling stones, like a torrent, was unleashed.

Luo Hou took several steps backward.

Tatata!

Amidst the surrounding uproar, both his feet went over the boundary line.
