Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

Jiang Lan returned to her position, and the remaining matches of the second round gradually came to an end.

"Next, we'll have a half-hour break. The semi-finals will begin in half an hour."

Beside Jiang Lan, Chu Yun leaned in and handed him a bottle of water:

"Godfather, you've worked hard. Godfather, have some water."

Jiang Lan: "...Thank you."

I chatted with my classmate for a bit, and half an hour passed quickly.

The referee returned to the ring, scanned the crowd, and announced loudly:

"The semi-finals of the Pulse Opening Group are about to begin!"

"Jiang Lan from the Extreme Martial Academy, versus Li Chuang from the Blazing Fire Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan stepped towards the arena.

Opposite him was a young man wearing a red school uniform.

"Li Chuang from the Blazing Fire Academy, please enlighten me."

The young man clasped his hands in a fist salute and addressed Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly and returned the greeting.

Please enlighten me.

"start!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Li Chuang sprang up instantly.

Clearly, he had witnessed Jiang Lan's two previous battles.

He naturally knew that there was no point in delaying the fight with Jiang Lan.

If you're going to fight, you have to unleash your strongest attack right from the start.

That way, he won't regret it, whether he wins or loses.

"drink!"

The young man roared and threw both fists at Jiang Lan at the same time, creating gusts of wind.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan simply raised her hand slightly.

His palm struck before anyone else could see what was happening, and he had already blocked Li Chuang's attack.

"Bang!"

The two men's fists collided with each other, producing a muffled thud.

Li Chuang felt as if his fist was being clamped by an iron clamp, unable to move.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Lan raised her other hand and slapped Li Chuang on the shoulder.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Li Chuang's body flew backward like a rag doll, landing outside the arena.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The referee gave Jiang Lan a deep look.

This young man...

He took a slow breath before speaking:

"Jiang Lan from the Extreme Martial Academy wins the semi-final of the Opening Meridian Group!"

Jiang Lan stretched her body and jumped off the stage.

An opponent of this caliber poses little challenge to him.

Not to mention his full strength, he didn't even use half of his strength just now.

As usual, we'll take a half-hour break.

Half an hour later, the referee made another announcement.

"The final round of the Pulse Opening Group."

"Jiang Lan from the Extreme Martial Academy versus Qin Yue from the Heavenly Martial Academy!"

The moment the referee finished speaking, the entire stadium fell silent.

However, the silence lasted only a moment before the discussion erupted again.

"Qin Yue, Jiang Lan definitely can't win this time."

"Yes, if there weren't other Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, Qin Yue wouldn't be fighting in the Meridian Opening Group. Qi Condensation Realm versus Meridian Opening Realm cultivators—isn't that a pure dimensional reduction attack?"

In the stands, Chu Yun clicked his tongue.

"Godfather, it's up to you now."

Jiang Lan, however, didn't show any expression.

It's just condensing Qi.

In terms of strength, his current average level has long surpassed that of Ning Gang.

As for defense, it's incredibly advanced.

However, he hasn't officially tested it yet.

Therefore, Jiang Lan naturally felt no pressure towards Qin Yue.

At Tianwu Academy, Qin Yue slowly stepped onto the arena.

Jiang Lan stood up and followed closely behind.

Qin Yue looked at Jiang Lan, his aura completely unleashed.

The oppressive aura of the Condensed Qi Realm was almost tangible, enveloping the arena.

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.

This level of intimidation might be unbearable for others, but for him, it was nothing.

"You're very strong." Qin Yue stared at Jiang Lan. "Therefore, I won't hold back."

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "Since you've said so, let's go."

The referee took a deep breath, raised his hand, and announced in a deep voice:

"Both sides prepare."

"start!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Qin Yue moved.

The people in the stands could only see a blur; they couldn't catch the trajectory of his movements at all.

fast.

In a flash, Qin Yue appeared in front of Jiang Lan and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The force of the punch, carrying with it a powerful energy, caused the air to rumble and hum.

If an ordinary cultivator at the Qi Opening Realm were hit by this punch, they would likely be severely injured, even if they didn't die.

Others might not be able to react, but Jiang Lan was.

He raised his hand, his palm meeting the other's fist directly.

"Bang!"

The moment their fists and palms collided, the ground beneath Jiang Lan's feet trembled violently.

The shockwave almost solidified, spreading outwards in all directions.

Jiang Lan, however, acted as if nothing had happened.

Qin Yue's pupils contracted.

He threw a punch without holding back at all.

A full-force attack from a Condensation Realm cultivator was caught by the opponent so easily?

But Qin Yue's reaction speed was also not slow.

He was only shocked for a moment before he immediately withdrew his fist and changed his move, moving around to Jiang Lan's side and striking him in the temple with his elbow.

Quick, accurate, ruthless.

Jiang Lan turned her head to avoid the elbow strike.

In fact, he could have easily gotten Qin Yue off the stage just now.

However, that would be too shocking.

There's nothing wrong with showing off, but there has to be a limit.

Let's fight first and then talk things out.

Seeing this, Qin Yue continued his offensive, unleashing a barrage of punches, elbows, and knees, each strike powerful and heavy.

On the ring, the wind howled from the punches.

Many people in the stands had already stood up.

"Qin Yue oppa is so handsome!"

"But what's up with Jiang Lan? He actually managed to block all of Qin Yue's attacks?"

On the arena, the two fought relentlessly, exchanging blows.

After a dozen or so moves, Qin Yue suddenly took two steps back, his chest heaving.

Jiang Lan, however, remained standing in place, her breathing steady.

Qin Yue's expression changed slightly.

"You are very strong."

Jiang Lan stretched her neck and replied:

"You're not bad either."

This is not just polite talk.

The guy in front of me named Qin Yue is indeed quite strong.

If it weren't for his cheat-like abilities, let alone fighting in the ring, someone like Qin Yue would probably never have come into contact with him in his entire life.

But there are no "what ifs".

Qin Yue didn't say anything more, but instead suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his whole body sprang towards Jiang Lan again.

He concentrated all his strength into his right fist and slammed it down hard on Jiang Lan's chest.

Jiang Lan's gaze darkened slightly as she looked at Qin Yue approaching.

almost.

He also raised his right fist and took a step forward.

"boom!!"

The two fists collided head-on.

With a loud bang, a shockwave erupted, and the entire arena trembled slightly.

The next second, Qin Yue's body was lifted into the air.

He was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground outside the ring, creating a shallow crater.

In an instant, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Qin Yue braced himself against the ground, his chest heaving violently for a long while before slowly raising his head, his face filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

His mind was filled with all sorts of emotions.

We lost?

How could a martial artist at the Condensation Realm lose?

How could he possibly lose??
