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

Li Hua glanced over and saw that Xiang Rufei was being suppressed by Chu Hong and was about to be defeated.

He felt a chill run down his spine and began to make plans in secret.

If Xiang Rufei hadn't been there to restrain Chu Hong, he and Lin Cheng would have had to face the two of them head-on, and winning would have been extremely difficult.

It would be better to put Zhou Mingrui aside for now, rush to Xiang Rufei's aid first, join forces to take down Chu Hong, and then come back to clean up the mess.

With his mind made up, Li Hua feinted a punch to force Zhou Mingrui back, then swayed and headed straight for the next battlefield.

"Lin Cheng, hold Zhou Mingrui back and wait for me a moment!"

Although he had witnessed the ring battle between Chu Hong and Zhou Mingrui, he did not think Chu Hong was particularly strong.

With him now on the battlefield, and with Xiang Rufei's cooperation, he believed that taking down Chu Hong was just a matter of time.

However, he underestimated Chu Hong's potential for growth; Chu Hong is now far stronger than before.

Seeing Li Hua's domineering fist rushing towards him, Xiang Rufei turned to the side to prepare for guerrilla warfare.

Chu Hong had already noticed Zhou Mingrui's predicament and was now extremely alert, knowing that he absolutely could not fall into a dangerous situation of one against two.

To break this situation, one must quickly and forcefully defeat one person; only then can the crisis be resolved.

A decision flashed through his mind, and he decided to stop dodging the punch from behind.

With his left hand, he used his claws to rip out the man's throat, while his right hand clenched his fist and pounded the man's chest. He shifted his body, tightly entangled with Xiang Rufei, and prevented him from escaping.

Xiang Rufei hadn't expected Chu Hong to be so fierce, willing to get injured just to take him down. For a moment, he was too busy to defend himself and was firmly locked down by Chu Hong's continuous attacks.

"Bang!"

"Sizzle!"

As a punch and a claw struck, Xiang Rufei's blood and qi surged, causing him to stagger.

Although he dodged the fatal claw, he was struck in the chest by a heavy punch, his vision went black, and he vomited a mouthful of fragments of internal organs.

They were clearly no longer able to fight.

"Bang!"

Chu Hong was also hit hard in the back; Li Hua's fist storm was so fierce that he staggered.

Although the Iron Body Technique and Silver Silk Armor weakened the force of the attack, he still coughed up a mouthful of blood under the heavy blow, and his rhythm was disrupted.

Just then, Xiang Rufei, who was about to collapse from weakness, suddenly sharpened his eyes.

With his only remaining right hand, he grabbed at his waist and immediately threw a handful of mud and ash at Chu Hong's face.

"Chu Hong, die!"

Chu Hong was extremely perceptive to this move and reacted the moment Xiang Rufei made a move.

He closed his eyes and immediately shifted his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the mud and ash.

But at this moment, Li Hua seized the opportunity to attack, intending to take the chance to eliminate Chu Hong.

However, Chu Hong was not a gentleman.

His hand suddenly reached for his waist, and with a swift grab and a scattering motion, a handful of ashes mixed with Hellfire Peppers flew towards him.

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

He never imagined that a powerful figure like Chu Hong would use such a treacherous tactic.

At that moment, I felt a burning pain in my lungs.

Not to mention that the eyes of those infected by the Hellfire Pepper were also filled with tears, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

"Chu Hong, you're despicable!"

Li Hua shouted angrily, but stopped in his tracks and stood still to listen to what was happening.

Whenever Chu Hong attacks, he will use the opportunity to retaliate.

"Despicable?! You used it first!" Chu Hong responded with a cold laugh.

He snapped Xiang Rufei's legs with a snap, then kicked him hard, sending him flying far away.

Then Chu Hong closed in on Li Hua, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks with clean and crisp movements.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

"Bang bang bang!"

He punched Li Hua in the back; this was an eye for an eye.

He severed the large tendon under Li Hua's leg with a single claw, preventing Li Hua from taking the opportunity to escape.

He struck him in the chest and abdomen with another palm strike, severing his last fighting ability.

Despite his struggles and resistance, Li Hua, who had lost his sight, was knocked to the ground by Chu Hong in just a few breaths, spitting out blood and his breath becoming weak.

Thus, both Xiang Rufei and Li Hua were defeated.

On the other side, Lin Cheng was also shocked. He realized just how strong Zhou Mingrui was after he had single-handedly held him back.

Seeing that the other two had been defeated and that the situation was hopeless, he dared not stay any longer and immediately turned to run away.

But now the tide has turned, and Chu Hong and Zhou Mingrui are not going to let him escape. They surround and kill him from the front and back.

Chu Hong shoved Lin Cheng's broadsword aside; Zhou Mingrui attacked with both fists and palms, determined to deliver a ruthless blow.

Lin Cheng shouted indignantly, "Ah! You're ganging up on us! That's not fair!"

"Fairness? Now you're talking about fairness?!" Chu Hong kicked him hard in the face, and Lin Cheng's face was instantly deformed.

His vision blurred, a warm sensation surged through his nose, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The great battle has come to an end.

Chu Hong was struck by Li Hua's heavy punch. Although he was protected by his silver silk armor and iron body technique, he still felt a faint pain in his back.

Fortunately, there were no other injuries.

Zhou Mingrui's breathing was uneven; he had suffered some minor injuries in the fierce battle just now, and he was currently applying the wound medicine prepared by Chu Hong to his wounds.

The three people on the ground had lost their fighting ability, and Chu Hong, who was now free, did not hesitate and directly took off their identity tokens.

Accompanied by the chilling announcement of elimination that echoed through the sky, the three men turned ashen-faced, filled with resentment but powerless to change the outcome.

Chu Hong carried the three heavy cloth bags, which rattled as he shook them, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Another great success."

"Perfect, let's count the identity cards first." Zhou Mingrui dumped the identity cards into a pile.

"Alright." Chu Hong nodded. "Brother Zhou, take inventory first. I'll go get some game to replenish our supplies."

After saying that, Chu Hong darted into the dense forest and disappeared into the shadows of the trees in the blink of an eye.

During the day, the two of them didn't eat properly because they were busy obtaining identity tokens.

When they were hungry, they would eat dry rations, but after a series of fierce battles, they had exhausted themselves. If they did not find an opportunity to replenish their energy, they would probably not be able to continue.

Zhou Mingrui sat alone in the same spot, facing a small mountain of identity tags, and began to sort them one by one.

He did not embezzle funds or abscond with the identity tokens.

It wasn't because someone was watching on the screen, but because he himself was open and honest.

Since we have made an alliance with Chu Hong, we must uphold our bottom line.

Only in this way can we live up to Chu Hong's trust.

Before long, Chu Hong returned carrying a plump wild deer. After quickly preparing it, he set up a fire and began to roast it.

The charcoal crackled and popped, and the aroma of meat gradually filled the air.

After resting for a moment, Zhou Mingrui approached with the sorted ID tags in hand:

"Brother Chu, we have obtained a total of seventy-one identity tokens together today. You can take thirty-six for now, and I will take one more tomorrow."

Chu Hong turned the barbecue grill and laughed, "Brother Zhou, remember this: don't let me get away with this."

He took the cloth bag from Zhou Mingrui and silently calculated in his mind.

He already had thirty-seven identity tokens, and with these thirty-six more, he now has seventy-three identity tokens.

There are only about 500 candidates for the martial arts exam in total, and these 70-odd identity tags already account for more than 10% of the total.

Even if they don't deliberately compete for it anymore, they will definitely be able to stay in the top twelve, which is more than enough to win fame and success.

At this moment, everyone on the training ground outside the mountain was speechless.

Those martial artists who were mocking Chu Hong's methods yesterday are now completely silent.

If yesterday Chu Hong's use of underhanded methods to obtain the identity token was despicable to them, then today, Chu Hong is showing his powerful and violent side.

They strike with ruthless ferocity, showing no mercy in duels, leaving the losers either injured or crippled, completely disregarding whether they will be held grudges.

Even Zhou Mingrui felt a sense of unease upon witnessing this scene.

The onlookers fell silent, no one daring to criticize Chu Hong in the slightest.

They were afraid that someone would complain and cause trouble for them after Chu Hong returned.

As a result, some people have even begun to defend Chu Hong.

"Weren't you all mocking my Brother Chu yesterday? Why are you all silent today?"

"That's right, now you see how awesome my Brother Chu is, right?!"

"I didn't mock Brother Chu. I was on Brother Chu's side yesterday."
