Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

Pang Hai? !

The disciples in the inner courtyard were all in an uproar.

Did Chu Hong really think that defeating his two senior brothers would make him a match for Senior Brother Pang?

In the martial arts school, Senior Brother Pang is definitely not weak. Although he has only been practicing internal energy for less than half a year, he can still crush most of the disciples.

Even his senior brothers, who joined the sect early on, were only slightly better than him.

He was a figure who truly roamed freely within the martial arts school.

Upon hearing this, Song Yue's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Chu Hong.

She never imagined that her usually quiet and hardworking junior brother Chu would turn out this way.

They're so bold today.

So sharp and shrewd.

Chu Hong ignored the astonishment of the crowd, staring at Pang Hai and speaking firmly:

"Senior Brother Pang, it's your turn!"

"To fight or not to fight? It's a simple question!"

Chu Hong's move was not an impulsive decision.

Rather, it marked the beginning of his formal counterattack against Pang Hai.

Previously, lacking sufficient strength, they were powerless to resist Pang Hai's schemes.

But now that he has honed his skills, it's time for him to show his true potential.

Of course, this move was also to show off his power and prevent others from causing him trouble.

This can be seen from the fact that Yu Wei and Xiao Liu have been targeting him one after another.

Therefore, he must bare his fangs.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

"Hehehe."

Pang Hai smiled instead of being surprised, as if he had expected it.

He did not suspect that Chu Hong was targeting him because his identity had been exposed.

They assumed that Chu Hong was just upset because he was provoked by their past words.

That's why, after unleashing his hidden power, he provoked himself.

He slowly stepped out, swinging his arms, his bones cracking and popping.

He feigned the gentle demeanor of a kind senior brother and spoke softly:

"Since Junior Brother Chu wants to test his strength, I, as his senior brother, will grant his request."

"I also want to see just how strong my junior brother, who always works behind closed doors, really is."

He was just worried about not having a legitimate reason to make a move when Chu Hong delivered himself to his doorstep.

This challenge was exactly what he wanted.

There is no reason why it should not be.

Pang Hai faced Zhuang Chengfeng and bowed, saying:

"Master, Junior Brother Chu has won two games in a row. He's gotten a bit arrogant and might not even respect our martial arts school anymore."

"This disciple wishes to spar with my junior brother and teach him to recognize his own strength and status, so that he will not be too arrogant."

Zhuang Chengfeng nodded silently.

Compared to previous school entrance exams, this one was far too complicated.

And all of this is because of Chu Hong.

This guy, whom he didn't think highly of, kept causing "changes," which made him very dissatisfied.

Moreover, Chu Hong not only showed no restraint but also dared to challenge his closed-door disciple, which made him increasingly displeased with Chu Hong.

"Since no one objects, then you can exchange a punch and decide who is better."

Zhuang Chengfeng did not allow the two to fight as they had before.

After all, Chu Hong has the Song family behind him, and at this juncture, he has to give the Song family face.

It would be enough to teach Chu Hong a lesson.

If they repeatedly fail to correct their behavior, they will be punished again in the future.

Having received permission, Chu Hong stopped, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior Brother Pang, please enlighten me!"

Pang Hai also stopped and said calmly, "Junior Brother Chu, you'd better be prepared to take this punch."

Before he finished speaking, his right hand was already clenched into a fist, and he punched straight at Chu Hong.

The punch made a whistling sound as it pierced the air, causing the clothes to flutter wildly.

"This...this power is incredible! Is Senior Brother Pang going to cripple Chu Hong?"

"Wow, Senior Brother Pang is amazing!"

"This punch probably has three or four tenths of Master's power. Can Chu Hong withstand it?"

"Whether he can withstand it or not, it's all his own fault. Of all people to provoke, he had to pick on Senior Brother Pang. He deserves it!"

"Chu Hong is doomed to lose! If he wins, I'll wash your socks for a month!"

In the arena, Chu Hong neither dodged nor avoided the straight punch that came his way.

He lunged forward, channeling his inner strength, and suddenly unleashed a straight punch.

This punch, with its hidden power concentrated at a single point, transforms into an extremely penetrating nail, aiming to break through all laws.

"boom!"

The two fists collided violently.

The shockwave exploded.

Chu Hong felt a bursting torrent sweep over him, rushing up his arm and trying to pulverize him.

Deng Deng Deng!

He quickly let go, retreated six steps, and swiftly mobilized his hidden strength to resist and dispel the incoming force.

But his arm was lacerated with several wounds, his clothes were soaked with blood, and he was in constant pain.

Pang Hai is also having a tough time.

The force of the impact forced him to take two steps back.

Chu Hong's hidden force, twisted like a nail, forcefully pierced through his fist, stirring up a storm in his arm.

If he hadn't acted quickly, his entire right arm would have been useless.

"Hiss~"

Pang Hai's right arm was in pain and trembled slightly uncontrollably. Even though he tried his best to hide it, it was still noticed by others.

His face was contorted with rage, and he charged forward with a stomp of his foot, his left hand forming a claw as he reached for Chu Hong.

But Chu Hong quickly moved aside to dodge the attack, standing on the other side, his tone calm:

"Senior Brother Pang, are you a sore loser? We agreed to only exchange one move, why did you resort to a sneak attack?!"

"Is this your rule?"

The audience was silent.

Zhuang Chengfeng frowned as he watched this scene, and this was the umpteenth time he had frowned today.

The disciples gaped, once again astonished by Chu Hong.

Although judging from the number of steps retreated, Chu Hong did indeed lose.

But they also noticed that Senior Brother Pang wasn't in good condition.

They had imagined that Senior Brother Pang would surely crush Chu Hong with a single punch, forcing him to his knees and begging for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Pang suffered a hidden loss.

This disparity made them extremely upset.

Chu Hong suppressed his surging blood and qi, took out a bright yellow pill and swallowed it, and the condition of his arm improved slightly.

He cupped his hands in greeting and spoke with a smile:

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Pang. I have benefited greatly from it."

"I hope that next time, Senior Brother Pang will be able to witness Junior Brother's progress."

After setting the tone for the next battle, Chu Hong bowed to Zhuang Chengfeng and turned to leave.

He stood up straight and exuded confidence.

During this exchange of blows, he sensed that Pang Hai was quite strong, but not as strong as he had imagined.

Although he is not quite there, the gap is not large.

Moreover, this was just a head-on clash, and he abandoned many advantages.

If you use all your body techniques, leg techniques, etc.

Chu Hong believed that if Pang Hai had no other means, he would surely die.

Suddenly, Chu Hong remembered what the old man had said: Pang Hai was a half-finished product that had been transformed by luck, and the cost was high, as were the flaws.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons.

"Next, we'll devise a plan to lure him out, then expose his identity, and finally deal with him!"

Chu Hong couldn't wait any longer.

In contrast, the disciples found it even more unbelievable.

"He...he's challenging Senior Brother Pang to a duel, is he going to fight him again next time?"

"That seems to be the meaning."

"Senior Brother Pang looks terrible. Is Chu Hong really that strong? He's only at the Inner Strength level."

"Heh, what are you thinking? He definitely used dirty tricks and ambushed Senior Brother Pang."

"That's right. Senior Brother Pang entered the Inner Strength realm several months earlier than him. If it weren't for his sneak attack, he would never have failed!"

They never imagined that although Chu Hong had taken some shortcuts, his mastery of the Nine Forging Fist was also an important factor.

Of the many disciples in the inner courtyard, only about five have mastered the Nine Forging Fist.

This is his bottom line.

Zhuang Chengfeng waved for the disciples to disperse, then went straight to Pang Hai and handed him a pill.

"Xiao Hai, you underestimated your opponent and were careless."

"If you had concentrated your inner strength in one place, you wouldn't have been in such a sorry state this time."

"This is a lesson learned. Go back and reflect on it carefully. You can't do it again next time."

As a master of internal energy transformation, he could clearly see the techniques used by the two in their fight.

That's why he realized Pang Hai was too arrogant.

It is believed that Chu Honggang has just mastered the hidden strength, but is not proficient in the methods of using force.

Therefore, preparations were made for a massive, overwhelming force to suppress it.

But he never expected that Chu Hong's nail would cause him such a great loss.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Chengfeng couldn't help but be secretly amazed by Chu Hong's comprehension.

It's a pity he has inferior aptitude; otherwise, he would have definitely nurtured him.

Pang Hai suddenly came to his senses, and the pain in his hand subsided.

He rubbed his right arm and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Master."

"Next time, I'll make him realize that some gaps can't be bridged just by hard work."

Although he said that, he had already made up his mind.

He didn't want to wait any longer; he was going to find the Great Venerable.
