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

"Otherwise, my fists don't care whether you're a disciple or not."

Upon hearing this, everyone around looked at Chu Hong with curiosity, realizing that he was indeed Chu Hong.

Chu Hong knew that Zhang Yang was right; as a nominal disciple, he had no special privileges in Yunxi County.

In truth, he was merely a person of inferior aptitude, a martial artist who had only recently entered the realm of internal strength.

It's normal for the other party to look down on him and not give him face.

But you can't just abandon him like that.

Unaffected, Chu Hong calmly stepped forward and said loudly:

"Zhang Yang, I am now a bodyguard for Dawei Escort Agency. It is only reasonable for me to take action against you for causing trouble for Dawei Escort Agency."

"Didn't you want to fight in the ring? Come on, I'll go with you!"

Chu Hong leaped onto the arena.

They immediately got into a fighting stance, ready to have a match with Zhang Yang.

But Zhang Yang completely ignored him, instead turning to look at Shi Lin with a mocking expression:

"Is your Dawei Escort Agency so afraid of death that you actually let an outsider come out to endorse you?"

Before Shi Lin could explain, Chu Hong spoke first:

"Zhang Yang, Dawei Escort Agency saved my life, and now I am a member of Dawei Escort Agency."

"If you want to fight, then let's see who's the real deal."

"If you're not going to fight, then go back to your Tianshui Escort Agency!"

The Tianshui Escort Agency not only took advantage of the chaos, but also seemed to be colluding with the Wuyou Sect, intending to wreak havoc in Yunxi County. These actions were extremely despicable to him.

Therefore, Chu Hong did not give him a friendly look when he spoke.

"Fine, fine, fine!" Zhang Yang laughed in anger.

He twisted his neck, turned to Chu Hong, and grinned maliciously:

"Since you've chosen your own death, don't blame me."

But instead of making the first move, he turned to the crowd of onlookers and bodyguards and shouted loudly:

"Everyone come quick! Chu Hong is going to stand up for Dawei Escort Agency!"

"This is a fair and square challenge. The arena has no eyes. If I get hurt or injured later, his master will come looking for trouble. I hope you folks will put in a good word for me."

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them down to the audience.

The crowd below immediately cheered and shouted "Good!"

"We will be your witness."

Seeing this scene, Shi Lin dared not let Chu Hong fight anymore and hurriedly advised Chu Hong to come down and not to be reckless.

Chu Hong shook his head: "Brother Shi Lin, trust me."

He was confident that with his martial arts skills, it would be very difficult for Zhang Yang to defeat him.

On the arena, Chu Hong and Zhang Yang stood facing each other, their faces cold and stern, and even the wind seemed to stop.

Zhang Yang lunged forward, clenching his fists in both hands.

However, the left and right hands are two different styles of boxing. The left hand is fierce and powerful, capable of splitting stone tablets and shattering rocks; the right hand is gentle and soft, suitable for close-quarters combat.

Judging from his practiced manner, he was clearly a seasoned veteran.

Suddenly, Zhang Yang's eyes sharpened, and he sprang up.

The steel fist aimed straight at Chu Hong's face, while the soft fist took the opportunity to wrap around Chu Hong's waist, concealing its hidden strength and preparing to strike.

Chu Hong activated his Swift Wind Steps in an instant, his figure suddenly shifting to the side.

boom!

Zhang Yang's punch missed its mark, creating a loud bang in the air.

"Look, that's Chu Hong's family's movement technique; it's really fast!"

The onlookers whispered.

"What's the use of being fast? He doesn't dare to fight Zhang Yang head-on. Even if he wins, it won't be honorable."

"Moreover, don't be fooled by its flashy appearance; if he gets hit by just one punch, he'll be crippled."

On the stage, Zhang Yang, with his seasoned experience, made a simple shift in his footing and closed in on Chu Hong once again.

The combined force and gentleness of the fists spread out, dense and impenetrable, completely blocking Chu Hong's retreat.

This time, Chu Hong stopped dodging and instead clasped his fists together to strike back head-on.

Bang bang bang!

The two exchanged three punches, and Chu Hong staggered back three steps, his arm going numb.

He discovered that the opponent's strength was quite unique.

The two forces, one fierce and the other gentle, required him to expend considerable effort to neutralize them.

Moreover, his fighting style is skillful and he has many tricks up his sleeve, far surpassing his previous opponents Yu Wei, Xiao Liu, and even Pang Hai.

This is a true reserve of military science personnel; they are indeed very strong.

Chu Hong believed that if it weren't for his mastery of the Nine Forging Fist and the enhancement of his agility and leg techniques, he would probably have been defeated by now.

"Prepare to die!"

Zhang Yang's two boxing techniques were now highly refined, and he once again closed in on Chu Hong.

Chu Hong was suddenly forced to retreat in defeat, and could only rely on his Swift Wind Step to dodge and maintain his position, which put him in a very dangerous situation.

Even so, Zhang Yang's fists would occasionally land on him.

Fortunately, thanks to the silver silk armor, Chu Hong was able to break through it without getting injured.

"Chu Hong is going to lose; he can't hold on any longer!"

"After all, he has only just entered the Dark Force realm, how could he possibly be a match for Zhang Yang?"

"Of course, Zhang Yang has several more years of experience than Chu Hong. It would be strange if Chu Hong could win."

Below, Shi Lin and Zhou Sanhe's hearts were in their throats.

They were afraid that Chu Hong would get hurt as a result.

Although Chu Hong was suppressed, he did not panic; in fact, he was more focused than ever before.

If a master were present, they would have discovered that amidst Zhang Yang's relentless onslaught, Chu Hong was actually dismantling Zhang Yang's power generation, force application, and rhythmic footwork.

This was something he had never seen in Yu Wei and the others.

Seeing the opportunity, he immediately felt that this arena battle was worthwhile.

He was learning by stealing techniques.

We must make these things work for us.

Even though Zhang Yang hadn't specifically studied movement techniques, he could quickly close the distance with just a simple shift in his footing. This kind of switching skill was all seen by Chu Hong.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Ah! Why are you hiding!" Zhang Yang was furious when he saw that Chu Hong kept dodging and not fighting him head-on.

He stepped forward again and delivered a powerful punch.

This time, Chu Hong did not dodge.

He stepped to the side, twisted his body, and his arm slid into Zhang Yang's wide-open doorway, brushing against Zhang Yang's arm.

This entanglement and slipping technique was learned from Zhang Yang.

"Huh?!" Zhang Yang's expression changed, and he immediately blocked the attack.

But Chu Hong didn't give him a chance. He gripped the Nine-Forged Fist with his other hand and suddenly unleashed his power.

This attack was a direct assault on a powerful opponent.

With a bang, the force exploded.

Zhang Yang felt a numbness in his arm. He never expected that beneath the fierce force was a trace of gentle strength.

He was caught off guard and immediately fell victim to the attack.

The door was wide open.

He reacted quickly, trying to distance himself from Chu Hong as fast as possible.

But Chu Hong pressed his advantage relentlessly, closing in again with his legs like steel hammers, aiming straight for Zhang Yang's lower body.

boom!

Zhang Yang hastily blocked with his leg, but a sharp and fierce force penetrated into his body.

My leg bones are throbbing with pain.

He staggered, and his punches immediately became disorganized.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Hong clenched his right fist and made his left palm, simultaneously channeling both hard and soft energy, launching attacks along two lines at once.

A balance of strength and gentleness.

Peng!

Click!

The fist and palm struck Zhang Yang's chest simultaneously, instantly shattering his carefully constructed defensive posture.

The sound of bones cracking echoed from his right arm, which was lying across his chest.

He was thrown into the air as if struck by a heavy blow.

It crashed down with a "bang" beneath the ring.

"Brother Zhang, how are you?!" The people from Tianshui Escort Agency quickly surrounded him to check on Zhang Yang's condition.

Some people even glared angrily at Chu Hong:

"Chu Hong, why did you use such force? Are you trying to ruin Brother Zhang's martial arts career?!"

Zhang Yang was well-prepared this time, clearly aiming to advance in the martial arts exam.

But this time, Chu Hong broke his arm, rendering his boxing skills useless.

If he can't recover from his injuries before the martial arts competition, he'll be out of luck for this year's competition.

Chu Hong straightened his disheveled clothes and stood calmly on the arena.

"The ring has no eyes; fighting is not child's play. It's normal to get some injuries."

"If you're not satisfied, let's have a fight!"

"If you defeat me fairly and squarely, I promise I won't hold a grudge. How about it?"

His words fell silent.
