High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

The thing Chen Shi feared happened, but not entirely.

The fifth round, quarterfinals to the semifinals.

He's facing Xiang Xing, as long as it's not Xue Xin.

Jiangzhou didn't know much about Xiangxing, only that he was indeed very strong and could always win easily. However, people didn't think Xiangxing could win; they only regarded him as a slightly better player.

It wasn't until Xiang Xing said in his pre-match speech, "I don't belong to Jiangzhou, but I once had a warm home," that things changed.

"But because of Chen Shi's appearance, my family was torn apart, and I had to lose my surname and become a homeless dog."

"Only by making Chen Shi kneel down like a defeated dog can I soothe the anger in my heart."

"That's what I'm going to do next."

"Chen Shi, remember what I told you six months ago? This is just the beginning. You made me homeless, and now I'm making you homeless too!"

"But it will all end today!"

"Your martial arts are utterly pathetic!"

Xiang Xing's arrogant words caused a huge uproar, but his face was filled with extreme confidence.

At this moment, Chen Shi suddenly realized why the other side would send a 14-year-old to fight against him, who was 15 years old.

Because he used to fight 15-year-olds when he was 14, he became proud after winning many battles across borders.

The other party wants to completely dismantle all your pride and shatter your Dao heart from this point, telling you that on that stage belonging to the chosen ones of heaven, you, Chen Shi, are nothing but a mayfly.

Before the battle even began, public opinion was already overwhelming. People discovered Xiang Xing's true identity: Long Xiang Xing, a member of the Long family of Zhongzhou.

Now, the arena of the Nine Provinces is filled with members of the Dragon Clan from the Central Province. They have displayed extremely terrifying strength, starting with dual superpowers, as well as an indestructible gray martial intent and impeccable basic abilities.

Everything speaks volumes about what kind of army they are.

They are disciplined, hardworking, and strong, and probably rarely have time to rest on weekdays.

That's why Long Yichuan allowed them to indulge their desires on their very few days off.

It seems that as long as you satisfy your desires, everything else will fall into place!

During his opening speech, Chen Shi did not respond to Xiang Xing's words and actions, but instead said something unrelated to the matter.

"What Xuexin said the other day was right. She will never encounter an enemy named Chen Shi, because she is also the one I love."

This statement is both laughable and absurd; one might wonder if it's a form of mockery directed at the other person.

It seems he doesn't even see this opponent!

The cheers in the stadium grew louder and louder. Xiang Xing entered the stadium first, a cold smile on his lips.

Chen Shi walked in unhurriedly, waving to his supporters amidst the deafening shouts. Once the protective barrier was activated, his world fell silent, leaving only the faint sound of the wind and the breathing of Xiang Xing.

But Chen Shi continued to smile and wave to people, waiting for the countdown to end.

In the audience, Zhang Xuexin held up her cheering stick, waving it and shouting even though she knew he couldn't hear her. The two looked at each other and smiled.

This intense youthful energy made Xiang Xing feel uncomfortable.

His life consisted only of cultivation and the unbridled release of desires; he had never experienced a moment as extraordinary as Chen Shi's.

The Emperor always said that the human race does not need 30 billion people; 300 million would be more than enough. Most people are just useless trash.

But why, looking at Chen Shi who was receiving countless praises and encouragement, did he feel envious? Especially when he saw Chen Shi's relationship with Zhang Xuexin, he felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

It was a story he had experienced: a boy and a girl met in an ordinary martial arts gym and fell in love.

They stayed together through thick and thin, encouraging and helping each other, overcoming one difficulty after another. His world was free of rampant desires, containing only something pure that was truly enviable.

Suddenly, Chen Shi finally turned to look at him and said, "Why not listen to the voice of your heart?"

"Humanity is calling you."

Xiang Xing's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot as he said, "There's no humanity in this world, only bestiality!"

"The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, winner takes all, loser is condemned—that's the rule of this world!"

Chen Shi lowered his head and chuckled softly, "So what are you envious of?"

Xiang Xing abruptly changed the subject, saying coldly, "I'll burn your house down!"

"Hmm." Chen Shi's smile faded, and he said, "That is indeed a very annoying thing."

Xiang Xing grinned: "So what does it feel like to be a stray dog?"

"It's not that bad," Chen Shi shook his head and said, "We've lost a lot, but our home is still here."

Xiang Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Chen Shi wasn't very educated, but under Xue Xin's influence, he learned some simple but true principles and words.

He said something Xuexin often said to him.

"Home is where my heart is."

Xiang Xing scoffed, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Chen Shi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Looks like you're illiterate too."

At this time.

The clock struck ten in the morning!

The cheers and shouts from the crowd faded away.

The two were completely focused on each other!

Without hesitation, Xiang Xing activated his dragon transformation, becoming a black human-dragon over two meters long with a black tail and its body covered in sharp black scales.

Fighting is his life, so when the match started, he acted as if he were on his home turf, with an excited smile on his face!

The audience suddenly fell silent, for they had never seen a dragon-transformed elephant before. The monster made Chen Shi's supporters nervous!

The black dragon burst forth from the sky, its terrifying explosive force creating a crater in the ground. It transformed into a black rainbow and rushed towards Chen Shi.

Chen Shi calmly entered the state, grew to gigantic size, activated Triple Blood Boiling, and then stopped a fraction of an inch to the side just as the black dragon claw was about to reach him, delivering a knee strike!

The elephant nimbly dodged through the air, landed, twisted its neck, sneered, and conjured a gray longsword in its right hand, slashing fiercely!

Chen Shi raised his hand, and the black-clad warrior's long staff was raised to block!

"Clang!"

The sound of clashing weapons reverberated.

The elephant took a step back, while Chen Shi did not retreat a single step.

He looked completely surprised.

Chen Shi said calmly, "What's with that expression? You don't actually think my cultivation level is lower than yours, do you?"

Xiang Xing gritted his teeth and said, "You have no idea what kind of effort we've put in behind the scenes."

As soon as he finished speaking, black energy appeared on his gray longsword, forming a lifelike black dragon coiled within it.

The audience was on edge again, wondering what that was all about, as Xiang Xing had never shown this move when fighting other opponents before!

The power of the Black Dragon!

The long sword slashed towards Chen Shi's face, and Chen Shi swung his staff out. The audience gasped. Since it was all a feint, the two dodged and weaved. But after five rounds of fighting, Xiang Xing was once again knocked back.

Standing like a giant on the loess soil, with a broad back, a wasp waist, and mantis legs, Chen Shi's physique made countless girls drool.

"You actually managed to keep up with my speed?" Xiang Xing asked, his face full of surprise and doubt.

Chen Shi curled his lips downwards and said, "So you're just a pitiful person kept in captivity by Long Yichuan, who has never seen the outside world."

"Don't take yourself too seriously."

Xiang Xing's eyes turned cold, and he roared, "Is that so!?"

"The Realm of Slaughter Gods, open!"
