Republic of China era: A hundred-year-old still practicing martial arts? Is that right?

"roar!"

The word "kill" fell from Zack's mouth.

The taciturn Kane looked up at the sky and roared.

His muscles suddenly tensed, tearing and stretching the skin.

He stomped his feet hard, shattering the inch-thick bluestone slabs on the martial arts training ground, sending them flying in all directions. He used the momentum to charge forward, his mountain-like fist smashing towards Lin Ji.

"Well done!"

Lin Ji stood firm with one hand on his back, and only when Kane was two zhang away from him did he slowly raise one hand to meet Kane's gaze.

The instructors present stared wide-eyed, comparing Lin Ji's slender figure with Kane's massive, mountain-like physique.

"Is Old Lin scared out of his wits? Is he planning to take that foreigner's full-force attack head-on?"

"It's over! It's all over!"

Many students around the teacher raised their hands to cover their eyes, not daring to look at him even once more.

A few of the bolder ones stared wide-eyed, not daring to move an inch.

Only the few experts present who possessed Ming Jin or higher could truly sense the change in Lin Ji's aura; their own aura seemed to have diminished by more than half.

"Uncle Lin." The coldness in Liu Qingzhu's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by worry.

Gu Yanqiu clenched his fists, his throat tightening: "Grandpa Lin!"

Inside and outside the martial arts hall.

A weathered woman, around fifty years old, peeked out and gazed at Lin Ji's retreating figure from afar, saying firmly, "Grandpa, I believe in you."

Kane's punches weren't fast, but they were like mountains collapsing, possessing a destructive force.

"boom!"

The fist landed.

Lin Ji's long robe was pulled high into the air.

The dust on the ground behind him was blown away, completely enveloping Lin Ji and his companion.

"Gurgle!"

In the crowd, the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be clearly heard.

The dust gradually settled.

A slender figure.

A robust little mountain.

They appeared at the same time.

The two remained in the same stance, exchanging punches.

A faint smile appeared on Lin Ji's face as he gently pushed his palm forward.

Kane's mountain-like body immediately staggered backward, the bluestone beneath his feet creaking and cracking under his feet.

"What?!"

Zack's pupils dilated, and he cried out in alarm.

After continuous enhancement with different bloodlines, Kane's strength is now far beyond what even he can match.

Now, he was actually able to withstand a full-force punch from an old man and was even forced back.

Jingmei's throat tightened, and he felt a slight wavering in his heart.

He valued his life more than the Heavenly Evolution Note.

A sense of retreat arose in his heart.

"What? Old Lin actually took that foreigner's punch!"

"I saw it!"

Whispers were heard during the instruction.

Many of the teenagers who had been covering their eyes gently raised their hands, saw the scene before them, and instantly exclaimed in excitement.

"The Martial Arts Hall is saved!"

"Grandpa Lin saved Wutang!"

Not far away.

Liu Qingzhu and Gu Yanqiu both showed joy on their faces.

And of course, there was the undisguised shock in his eyes.

Lin Ji subtly rotated his palm, dispersing the residual power of Kane's fist into the air with his Tai Chi strength.

"I see."

He had figured out Kane's attack patterns.

Kane possessed immense brute strength and a violent, turbulent aura, yet his attacks lacked any finesse, relying purely on physical overwhelming force.

Everyone around was still reeling from the shock of Lin Ji's bare-handed force against the mountain.

Zack stared intently at Kane, who was retreating rapidly on the field. His composure shattered completely, and his voice suddenly turned icy:

"Kane, stop playing around."

He dared not delay any longer; if Kane dragged things out any longer, things might get complicated.

Kane, who had been expressionless and menacing, suddenly gave a strange, cold laugh upon hearing this.

He stopped staggering backward, his heavy breathing becoming increasingly violent, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Lin Ji in front of him, his ferocity completely exploding in his eyes.

He reached into a hidden pouch at his waist with one hand and pulled out a syringe that was entirely black and gleamed with an eerie dark red light.

The liquid inside the injection was viscous and turbid, churning with violent and restless energy; just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kane tilted his head back, raised his hand, and plunged the needle deep into his carotid artery!

"laugh--"

The dark red potion was instantly injected into his body.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

Kane's massive, mountain-like body trembled violently, his skin visibly flushed red with blood, layers of crimson spreading across his bulging muscles and throbbing dark purple veins.

The originally violent blood energy suddenly surged several times, transforming into a tangible crimson aura that swept across the entire area. A fierce wind swept over them, forcing the martial arts hall members to retreat repeatedly and making it difficult for them to breathe.

The air in the entire training ground became scalding hot and viscous, and the extreme sense of savage pressure was several times greater than before!

Even Lin Ji, who was standing firmly on the spot, slightly tightened his expression and subconsciously took a half step to the side.

"roar--!!"

Kane let out a ferocious roar that was not human, his muscles bulging to their limit and stretching taut, his clothes ripped apart, his exposed flesh red as flames, ferocious and terrifying.

With a powerful kick, the blue bricks on the ground shattered into dust. He transformed into a blood-red afterimage, unleashing another brutal punch that was several times more ferocious than the previous one!

"Brutal strength is nothing but brute force; in the end, he's just a reckless brute."

Lin Ji's gaze was calm and unhurried.

With the secret techniques of the Hidden Dragon Abyss fully activated and combined with the peerless Tai Chi skills, he no longer stubbornly resisted. His figure moved gracefully, and his Tai Chi steps flowed like the wind, agile and elegant, perfectly weaving and dodging between the gaps in Kane's punches.

Kane's punches were deadly, each move delivered with all his might, yet every ferocious attack was skillfully redirected and deflected by Lin Ji's gentle strength.

The heavy, mountain-like force repeatedly blasted through the air, crashing into the ground and the training wooden stakes, blasting away stones and wood chips.

He possessed terrifying power capable of crushing everything, yet he couldn't even touch the hem of Lin Ji's clothes. His violent force was constantly released but missed its mark, causing his own blood and energy to become severely disordered and his stamina to be exhausted.

Zack's face grew increasingly grim, his fists clenched tightly. He had never seen such a style of boxing in China before.

Jingmei, who was standing to the side, had long since put away all her contempt. Her eyes were filled with apprehension and fear. She was secretly glad that she had managed to withdraw in time and had not fought Lin Ji to the death.

In just a few breaths, Kane's dozens of deadly punches all missed their mark.

The side effects of the forced amplification from the drug began to backfire. His crimson body stiffened slightly, and a fatal opening suddenly appeared in his ferocious punches!

Lin Ji's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his elusive figure suddenly froze, and his elusive movements instantly transformed into an extremely domineering killing intent!

He stopped dodging and weaving, and suddenly clenched his fists.

With a flick of his wrist, a series of punches erupted!

Bang bang bang!

Three extremely powerful punches rang out in succession!

It's actually the most basic Chuishan Fist from the Martial Arts Hall!

It didn't have a deafening roar, but it possessed a terrifying penetrating power that could pierce through bones.

Every punch landed precisely on Kane's weak points!

The powerful and domineering internal force surged unstoppably, penetrating Kane's body layer by layer, instantly shattering the violent blood and qi generated by the potion and breaking down the physical barriers he had forcibly built up!

Kane's crimson pupils suddenly froze, and the ferocious expression on his face instantly hardened.

The surge of blood-red malevolent energy that had engulfed his body instantly dissipated, his taut muscles suddenly relaxed, and the chaotic qi and blood within his body collapsed with a roar.

"puff--!"

Kane's mountain-like body crashed to the ground!
