Gou Zai Wudao Shi Lian Shen

Chapter 85 Explosion

Li Huchen wasn't the tallest, but he had extremely broad shoulders and a slightly hunched back, with his arms hanging naturally at his sides. As he walked, he resembled a fierce tiger emerging from the depths of the mountains. His face was angular and rugged, with low-set brow bones and a pair of gloomy eyes that caused many examinees to instinctively avert their gaze when he swept across the crowd.

The minor official on the drill ground heard footsteps approaching, looked up, and his face turned horrified.

This person doesn't look like a candidate for the martial arts exam at all.

It looks like a ferocious beast just released from its cage.

Like Lu Chen before him, Li Huchen stood directly in front of the fifty-stone strong bow.

An uproar immediately erupted outside the drill ground.

"Another fifty bushels?!"

"Who is he? He looks fierce!"

"Li Huchen, a true disciple of Weiyuantang!"

"Is it that legendary natural tiger bone?"

"Indeed, I've heard he possesses a special physique. Look at his face and build; he really does resemble a fierce tiger from the deep mountains."

"Lu Chen just drew the fifty-stone bow; is he going to directly challenge the fifty-stone bow as well?"

"Excellent! This martial arts competition is going to be exciting!"

Many people were still immersed in the shock of Lu Chenjia's performance, thinking that Li Yong's first match had reached its peak.

Unexpectedly, another Li Huchen appeared in the blink of an eye.

And it also went straight for fifty stones of bow.

At this moment, everyone's gaze became intense again.

On the viewing platform, Qin Wuhe looked at Li Huchen in the arena and felt a slight chill in his heart.

Even from this distance, he could still feel the murderous aura emanating from Li Huchen.

That wasn't the kind of imposing aura that ordinary blood-moving martial artists could build up with their own blood and qi.

It's not so much a sense of oppression that comes from the very core of your being.

"Born with tiger bones —"

Qin Wuhe's gaze darkened.

No wonder Zhao Xuanfeng kept mocking and being sarcastic towards him; it turns out he had such a trump card up his sleeve.

This person was hidden by Zhao Xuanfeng for so many years, only being released at the Martial Arts Academy. His cultivation level has probably reached the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm. Coupled with his innate tiger bone physical foundation, he will undoubtedly have a significant advantage in head-on combat.

It seems unlikely that Shi Hao will win the martial arts competition this time.

Shi Hao stood in the line of examinees below the stage, his face grim.

He had just been crushed by Lu Chen's fifty-stone armor, and now Li Huchen was heading straight for the fifty-stone strong bow, which made him feel like a stone was pressing on his chest.

He originally thought that by breaking through to the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, he would be the brightest star in the martial arts arena and be able to compete for the championship.

But today, in a fierce battle, first Fang Henian, then Lu Chen, and now Li Huchen.

Each one is more complex than the last.

On the other side, Zhao Xuanfeng leaned back in his chair, glanced at Qin Wuhe, and saw that Qin Wuhe's face was heavy. He couldn't help but reveal a hint of undisguised contempt in his eyes.

"That Shi Hao from your Hidden Dragon Martial Arts School, he dares to show off?"

"snort."

On the training ground, Li Huchen held a bow in his left hand and strummed the string with his right.

His hands were enormous; when his five fingers came together, they resembled a tiger's claw gripping its prey.

The next moment, his feet sank to the ground.

thump.

The ball of my foot landed, and the bluestone trembled slightly.

Li Huchen's chest and abdomen bulged, his shoulder and back muscles gradually bulged, and his entire aura rose accordingly. That fierce intent was like that of a tiger about to pounce on its prey.

Lu Chen stood in the crowd, staring intently at the center of the training ground.

The inexplicable killing intent Li Huchen had just displayed made him pay extra attention to this person.

In the arena, Li Huchen began to exert his strength.

Squeak—

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the fifty-stone bow was easily drawn.

Then, in an instant, the moon is full.

"This, this, this—so powerful!"

"Why do I have this feeling that this fifty-stone bow is only worth ten stones in Li Huchen's hands?!"

"Born with tiger bones! This is what it means to be born with tiger bones!"

The minor official standing nearby was also dumbfounded, his brush hovering over the register, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

He was about to announce loudly, "Li Huchen, fifty shi bow fully drawn."

Before he could finish speaking...

A piercing explosion suddenly rang out in the arena.

Boom!

The sound was sharper and more terrifying than the recoil of a bowstring, like an iron chain stretched to its limit suddenly snapping.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Li Huchen did not let go.

Even though the fifty-stone bow was already fully drawn, he still grinned, a fierce glint in his eyes, and stretched his arms out again.

Click!

The jet-black bow arm split open on the spot.

The bowstring snapped in the next instant, sending splinters flying everywhere.

He actually managed to break that fifty-stone bow!

Everyone stared blankly at Li Huchen.

He stood amidst the shattered bow arms, still clutching half a broken bow in his hand, his shoulders and back slightly bent, his chest heaving like a tiger that had just torn its prey apart.

A burst of exclamations erupted.

"It's bursting!"

"He blew up a fifty-stone bow!"

"Is this even human?!"

Li Huchen casually tossed aside the broken bow, looked up in the direction of Lu Chen, and slowly grinned.

The first martial arts competition, the "Strength and Bravery" event, concluded perfectly with Li Huchen's astonishing performance of breaking a 50-stone bow.

When they left the training ground, the talk of the town was about the few geniuses from the martial arts department that day.

Especially Lu Chen.

A former student, kicked out of the martial arts school, pulled back a fifty-stone bow in full view of everyone, outperforming all the school's true disciples and achieving a top-tier score. This shocked the entire audience.

As evening fell, Lu Chen returned to Wang's Yam Shop.

As soon as he entered, all the shop assistants and guards from the pharmacy came to greet him.

"Master Lu is back!"

"Hey, Jia Shang! We've all heard about the fifty-stone bow today!"

"Master Lu, you've truly brought honor to the Wang family!"

Wu Keli was the best in the class.

In the next skill competition, as long as Lu Chen is not eliminated in the first round, passing the martial arts exam is almost a certainty.

Wu Xiucai.

Those who are included in the official register are exempt from taxes and receive the protection of the imperial court.

At that time, Lu Chen's status will be completely different.

When Wang Shouyi saw Lu Chen return, he could no longer suppress his smile.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

He said "good" three times in a row, looking at Lu Chen as if he were looking at a god descending from the sky!

"Lu Chen, I really didn't expect you to achieve a top-tier result in the Li Yong competition! It's unbelievable!"

Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "It's all thanks to the pills that Wang Ji has provided during this time."

Meanwhile, a number of people arrived at the yam shop, wanting to pay a visit to Lu Chen.

He wanted to befriend Lu Chen and Wang Jipan.

Wang Shouyi rushed to the front hall to shield Lu Chen from everyone.

"You're too kind, everyone. Master Lu has just finished his martial arts exam and is resting in the backyard."

"It's not convenient for me to receive guests today, please leave!"

Hidden Dragon Martial Arts School.

Shi Hao followed Qin Wuhe back to the inner hall.

Shi Hao was somewhat discouraged: "Master, I didn't manage to get first place in this competition!"

"I have let you down."

He emerged from the mountains, caught the eye of Qin Wuhe, and soared to great heights, becoming a true disciple of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts School.

Later, Qin Wuhe spared no expense in using precious medicines to help him break through to the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm.

He wanted to prove Qin Wuhe right, but he never expected that he would lose to a martial arts school outcast, causing his master to lose face.

Qin Wuhe did not blame Shi Hao.

He never expected that Lu Chen, whom he had kicked out of the martial arts school, would have such an amazing performance.

There was also Li Huchen.

Weiyuantang's trump card was hidden too deeply; no one could have predicted it.

He patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and said, "Your results have satisfied me."

"You're in third place now. The next round is the Martial Arts Competition. As long as you're not eliminated in the early rounds, you're almost guaranteed to pass the Martial Arts Examination."

"Don't dwell on today's events; focus on preparing for the next one!"
