Full-Time Martial Saint

Perhaps because of his 100% win rate in 7 games, Chen now chooses the free match mode, and the estimated time to be matched with an opponent has been extended to more than five minutes.

He stood alone in the main hall of the Divine God Arena for more than four minutes before his figure was sucked into the fighting space by a suction force.

Blue eyes, brown hair?

Westerners?

When his vision returned, Chen Cong saw that the person opposite him was a young man with brown curly hair, blue eyes, and an air of medieval nobleman. He was slightly surprised.

"The people of Great Xia... a 100% win rate in seven games!?"

The other party seemed somewhat surprised as well. After asking a question, he smiled and bowed, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

Upon seeing this, Chen Cong clasped his hands in return and said, "Please enlighten me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge countdown timer appeared above the arena.

When the countdown reached zero, both sides charged at each other almost simultaneously.

The moment they exchanged blows, Chen Cong immediately sensed that the Western youth codenamed "Eye of Horus" was no ordinary person.

Unlike the traditional martial arts of the Great Xia, the Western youth codenamed "Eye of Horus" seems to use a fist technique specifically created for killing. This fist technique does not have many fancy skills; every move is a killing technique, and every attack is aimed directly at vital points.

What troubled Chen Cong even more was that this person's overall physical fitness seemed to be quite high, at least comparable to Xu Baiwei's. During their fight, after only a few parries, Chen Cong clearly felt the hidden dangers brought about by such poor overall physical fitness.

"My friend from Great Xia, is all you can do is jump around like a monkey?"

After nearly twenty minutes of fighting, the Western youth codenamed "Eye of Horus" was clearly getting annoyed by the "Ape Step" movement technique and couldn't help but launch a verbal attack.

Chen smiled slightly but did not reply.

This young Western man was strong, his moves were too sharp, and he was very fast. Naturally, he could not use his weaknesses to meet the strength of his opponent.

Using the movement technique "Ape Step" to dodge continuously, he waited for the opponent to lose patience and reveal a weakness.

Sure enough, when Chen ignored him and the Western youth codenamed "Eye of Horus" failed to kill him with several attacks, his eyes suddenly lit up. As if he had made up his mind, he broke with his usual behavior and charged at Chen with a simple straight punch.

"Did you deliberately create a weakness to lure me in?"

Seeing through the other party's intentions at a glance, Chen Cong's lips curled up slightly, deciding to play along and show this guy what real Bajiquan is all about.

He leaned forward in a bow stance, his left hand slashing diagonally upwards like a single blade, deflecting the opponent's straight punch. Before the opponent could follow up with any subsequent moves, he instantly flipped over!

He grabbed the opponent's elbow with his left armpit, his left hand gripped the joint between the opponent's shoulder and arm, and his right fist, as fast as lightning, slammed into the opponent's tall nose!

The punch was deflected into an elbow strike. Before the opponent could even react, he felt another sharp pain in his cheek!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Cong's elbow strikes came like a storm, relentlessly hitting his cheeks, chin, and forehead!

Bang!

After being hit dozens of times in a short period of time, Chen suddenly burst out and struck him on the left cheek with his elbow, causing his head to rotate 120 degrees.

The Western youth codenamed "Eye of Horus," with an incredulous expression, slowly transformed into specks of starlight and dissipated within the fighting space.

You have defeated the boss codenamed "Eye of Horus," gaining 38 victory points.

Code Name: Homesick Traveler

[Rank: Rookie 2-Star (49/300 Victory Points)]

[Number of matches: 8]

Record: 8 wins, 0 losses

Win rate: 100%

With an eight-game winning streak, he now has 38 victory points for each win, but his opponents also seem to be getting stronger.

Chen Cong was very worried that if he continued to win like this, he might be matched with opponents at the entry-level martial artist level in the future.

In the afternoon, Zhang Kui reminded everyone that if they wanted to obtain the title of "Blackstone Trialer," they should raise their rank to Rookie 10 stars within two months and leave a month for the "Blackstone Trial."

After careful calculation, Chen felt he should make some trade-offs.

Without affecting his regular classes and cultivation the next day, he could spend about two hours a day in the virtual realm.

Winning streaks grant more victory points than normal, but the opponents are too strong, making both winning and matchmaking times much longer. Right now, matchmaking and defeating an opponent takes more than half an hour, and you can only play a maximum of four matches in two hours.

"That's all for today. We'll ask Old Ma tomorrow and see what he has to say."

After defeating two more opponents and achieving a 100% win rate in 10 matches, Chen withdrew from the virtual world and removed his Crystal Helmet.

"I brought you a drink."

Luo Yunfeng, who was exercising across from him, saw him get up and casually handed him a bottle of drink.

"Thanks, Brother Luo." Chen Cong took the drink, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and asked, "Brother Luo, are you a local from Xiangcheng?"

Luo Yunfeng shook his head: "I moved here last year. I live in the East District New Town now, in that newly built community on the east bank of Zhonghu Lake. What about you?"

Chen put down his drink and said, "I'm from here, but my home is a bit far away, in Hengjinhua Prefecture in the south of the city."

"The terminus of bus route 128?" Luo Yunfeng asked in surprise. "My uncle lives there. I went there during the summer vacation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Cong suddenly felt his bracelet vibrate.

The message was sent by Karapti Hey. Chen Cong opened it and glanced at it, his expression instantly turning serious.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yunfeng asked with concern.

Chen Cong took a deep breath and said, "A friend from Annam whom I met in the virtual world just sent me a message saying that an E-level disordered fusion rift suddenly appeared in the city where she lives. In just five hours, half of the city has fallen, tens of thousands of ordinary people have died, and thousands of martial artists have also died in battle."

"Annam?" Luo Yunfeng frowned. "They border Great Xia. If the situation gets out of control, won't it affect us?"

"Let me check!"

Luo Yunfeng quickly turned around and turned on the quantum computer behind him, directly searching for the topics of "Annan" and "E-level disordered fusion rift".

Numerous videos and reports popped up, and the two randomly opened some to watch them intently.

"They are Crimson Fire Ravens and Magma Giants; this must be the Balrog race."

Looking at the overwhelming fiery birds pouring out of the void rifts in the video, as well as those terrifying giants over three meters tall whose bodies were made of molten lava, Luo Yunfeng's face turned very ugly as he spoke.

The computers of martial arts students at the martial arts academy have exclusive access, so ordinary people can't see these videos at all.

This was the first time Chen Cong had ever seen the rift between realms and alien monsters, and his mind and vision were greatly shocked.

He couldn't help but swallow hard, and asked with difficulty, "Brother Luo, is the E-level Fusion Rift already this terrifying?"

Luo Yunfeng turned off the video and nodded slightly, saying, "The Crimson Fire Raven is a Tier 1 monster, and the Lava Giant can only reach Tier 2. Tier 2 is the limit of the E-level Fusion Rift. Only Tier 3 and Tier 4 monsters can appear in the D-level Fusion Rift."

"Logically speaking, a typical E-level rift should not be too difficult for a city to deal with as long as it has a regular martial arts legion of more than a thousand people."

"But the E-level disordered fusion rift that appeared in Annam is somewhat special. The other side of the rift is the elemental world, which is the enemy that martial artists least want to face."

"Take those second-tier lava giants for example. Even if a second-tier martial artist is wearing T3-level alloy armor, it is difficult to withstand their terrifying high temperature. Only a third-tier martial artist can win in person."

"However, most martial artists of the third rank or above are stationed on the frontier, and under normal circumstances, not many are sent to inland cities."

"If the Annamite government reacts quickly enough and can mobilize a large number of warrior legions, the city might be saved. But if it is delayed for a day or two, the entire city will probably be turned into a sea of ​​fire."

Chen Cong nodded wistfully, his mind drifting back to the D-level fusion rift that had once appeared beneath the central lake.

According to Luo Yunfeng, the D-level rift can only allow fourth-order alien races or monsters to pass through. If the rift under the central lake were to reappear one day, could Xiangcheng really withstand it?
