Chapter 109: The Invincible One-Punch Attack

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

While Lin Yao was staring at Di Qiang, he heard a familiar voice beside him.

“Lin Yao, I lost to you last time. I won’t be defeated again.”

After turning his head, Lin Yao discovered that Zhou Yang, the one born with divine power, was speaking.

This guy had also gotten into the top eight places. Upon looking at his tanned skin, Lin Yao had an explicable feeling of tenacity.

‘Did he master body-toughening martial arts?’ Lin Yao thought as he nodded. ‘I’ll wait for you.’

…

After Lin Yao stood in the arena for a while, the school leaders went onto the platform.

“The arena competition begins. This time, the people participating in the battle will be determined by drawing lots. The winner will advance to the next round. The loser will get into the losers’ team and get another chance to fight.”

After a brief explanation of the rules of the battle, the competition commenced immediately.

However, Lin Yao didn’t know if this was done intentionally or was just his bad luck. Lin Yao, the seventh player on the seeder player list, drew the lot for the first battle. His opponent was Xu Wanqing, who ranked second.

The moment he saw his opponent, Lin Yao recalled the scenes of her earlier battle with Di Qiang, who had unlocked the gene lock. She had been hit and flung away many times. However, his surrounding male classmates felt elated instantly.

“Great! That b*stard has finally met an expert.”

“Come on, Senior Sister Wan Qing. Hit his face.”

“Be sure to hit his face. Don’t hold back.”

All the boys below the platform were looking forward to Lin Yao being beaten up. Lin Yao’s face could not help darkening when he heard these ferocious shouts.

‘Am I that unpopular?’

Amid these shouts, Lin Yao and Xu Wanqing entered the arena, looked at each other, and bowed.

However, something that left Lin Yao speechless happened soon. While she was looking at her opponent, Xu Wanqing’s face blushed slightly. She even spoke before the battle began.

“I’m sorry, Student Lin Yao. Although I’m unwilling to, I must defeat you. Please be careful.”

When he looked at that caring gaze and her blushing face and heard her gentle voice, Lin Yao was speechless. At the same time, these few words ignited the endless jealousy of the boys below the platform.

“Scoundrel. He is actually seducing his opponent. That’s really despicable.”

“Is being handsome a big deal?”

“I’m so jealous of that b*stard.”

“Senior Sister, please don’t lose on purpose.”

“I’m done… My Senior Sister Wanqing…”

Amid bouts of jealous shouts, Lin Yao watched helplessly the gentle gaze of Xu Wanqing, who was in front of him. She looked as if she could not bear to attack him.

“You have to be careful too. No, you must do your best.”

Xu Wanqing was taken aback by Lin Yao’s firm request. However, she soon thought of something and her eyes shone.

“I refuse to surrender to any of my opponents, and I will always do my best. Student Lin Yao, I was right about you.”

“…”

“The battle begins!”

At the shout of the teacher in the arena, the tired look on Lin Yao’s face vanished instantly. He now looked as striking as a divine sword that had just been sharpened. Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he rushed forward to launch an attack.

Opposite him, Xu Wanqing had also settled down at the start of the battle and was beginning to strike.

Splash.

With a single wave of her hand, Xu Wanqing gathered some water. When she waved casually again, the water transformed into raindrops and splashed toward Lin Yao.

There was too much rain. Caught off guard, Lin Yao was splashed all over his body. Nevertheless, this was ordinary rain, so it didn’t cause him any harm.

‘Is she being soft-hearted… No, this move was meant to find out where my body is.’

Lin Yao, who was rushing forward, realized that he had used an illusion during his last battle. Obviously, Xu Wanqing had sprinkled the rain in order to deal with this move of his. However, Lin Yao hadn’t used the Clear Mirror Body Technique this time.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao did not stop moving. Within a short time, he had already crossed half the arena and rushed to Xu Wanqing’s side.

Xu Wanqing, who had discovered that this was Lin Yao’s real body, did not back down. Instead, she cast the Cloud Mist Step and a move of the Great River Swordsmanship—Great River East—to attack Lin Yao.

However, as soon as she cast her sword move, Xu Wanqing’s body and mind were overwhelmed by a sense of foreboding.

At the same time, while looking at Lin Yao and his posture, Xu Wanqing felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

‘This is… like Di Qiang’s posture last time. Impossible! It is absolutely impossible that two people from the ordinary classes have comprehended the profound meaning of military boxing!’

She couldn’t believe it, but the facts would not change because of her thoughts. As she was taken aback, an electric light flashed in the eyes of the teenager in front of her. Amid the light, the teenager took a breath and a step forward.

Bang. The ground had been dented by the step of the teenager. This went to show how powerful this step was.

Stomping at full speed ahead didn’t numb Lin Yao’s legs. Instead, the vibration shock while he was charging forward transmitted a force from his leg to his hand layer upon layer. Through his waist, Lin Yao gathered all the force in his arm. He then clenched and thrust his fist forward.

There was a deafening boom, and the punch that had gathered Lin Yao’s entire strength smashed onto Xu Wanqing’s sword.

This punch was extremely feisty, as if a bomb had exploded in one’s hands.

The punch flung away the long sword in Xu Wanqing’s hand but did not stop there. After hitting the sword away, the fist landed on her chest viciously.

Boom.

After another defeating boom, Xu Wanqing felt a sharp pain in her chest. As her chest flattened, her body was flung high in the air and then dropped to the ground.

At the final moment, although she was flung upside down and could hardly bear the pain in her chest, she actually felt her heart flutter upon seeing Lin Yao, who was standing tall and proud in the arena.

‘He’s so dashing and domineering…’

Xu Wanqing fainted!

This one blow had defeated Xu Wanqing, an intermediate martial artist, directly.

Obviously, this took everyone present by surprise. At the sight of that aggressive and familiar punch, everyone was dumbfounded. Afterward, many people turned their heads to Di Qiang and swept their gazes across Di Qiang and Lin Yao repeatedly.

Some time later, a tempestuous clamor rose in the air.

“This is another genius who has comprehended the profound meaning of military boxing.”

“Damn! how can this be? That b*stard is already that handsome, yet he’s also so strong now. How are the rest of us going to live on?”

“Alas, Senior Sister Wanqing is such a poor thing. She was hit by Di Qiang last time and was punched by Student Lin Yao this time. Although she is well-endowed, they shouldn’t hammer her like that.”

“Well, just looking at it hurts. Those two b*stards don’t know how to take care of a beauty.”

After a long silence, the audience began to clamor. This time, while many girls felt pain in their chests due to Lin Yao’s punch, many more people were staring at Lin Yao with shining eyes.

Amongst these people, the eyes of the manager called Ye Qing shone the brightest. She had secretly found her way into the school. When she saw Lin Yao’s absolute prowess, her mind was only occupied by one thought.

‘I need to sign a contract with him. As long as I do, I will strike it rich this time.’

Lin Yao was unaware of the tempestuous discussions below the platform and Lin Wanqing’s thoughts. After winning the battle, he returned to the arena and was prepared to close his eyes and wait for the next battle.

Lin Yao had achieved an overwhelming victory that was unlike his small-time victories in the past. As a result, the few players present had affirmed his status.

When he returned to the waiting area, everyone except for Di Qiang nodded. He still had a proud expression on his face.

“You are fairly good in the profound meaning of military boxing, but I will be the champion this time.”

“I will wait to meet you in the final battle.”

They were both vying for the top place, so sparks were flying between Di Qiang and Lin Yao. Below the platform, the battles between the students were going on like flames and tides.

The quarter-final, semi-final, and final would determine the strongest player.

Lin Yao, who had already gone through one round of battle, would be able to advance to the semi-final after he fought with one more person.

Lin Yao didn’t encounter any strong opponents during the semi-final.

The sixth-ranking Yu Tianming was his next opponent. This was a young genius who had awakened his fire talent.

His face dimmed when he found out that he would be fighting against Lin Yao. However, after entering the arena, he didn’t admit defeat. Instead, he placed his two palms together in front of his body and gave a tug, making a fireball appear.

“The profound meaning of military boxing is not invincible. It doesn’t matter that you can gather all your strength. It will do as long as I don’t fight you directly.”

With a furious holler, he flicked his hand casually. The fireball transformed into a beam of light and flew toward Lin Yao.

The flying fireball was not big and it was not faster than a bullet. Lin Yao felt that he would be able to dodge it if he turned sideways.

However, he had watched Yu Tianming’s videos before and knew that things were not going to be that simple. The opponent in front of him had fairly good talent. In addition to condensing flames out of thin air, he could unleash an effect resembling a fire explosion. Lin Yao was certain that if he were to dodge, the fireball would explode like a grenade.

Although Lin Yao would not die, his clothes would be ruined by the approaching flames.

‘This is such a bothersome ability. In that case, I shall let you try this move.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao didn’t dodge the oncoming fireball. Instead, he remained standing on the spot and took a deep breath.

After he took a deep breath, his abdomen started bulging slightly, and he gave Yu Tianming a smile. This was a kind gesture, but Yu Tianming immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

“Oh no!”

Sensing that something was amiss, he assumed a defensive posture. Unfortunately, it was completely useless.

As soon as he made his defensive move, Lin Yao suddenly opened his mouth widely and unleashed a furious roar that was akin to thunder.

Roar!

Boom!

The roar, which sounded like thunder, carried the dazzling dominance of heaven. When he heard it suddenly, Yu Tianming’s eyes turned upward and he fainted directly.

Yu Tianming was not a freak. As an opponent, he had some feelings of hostility, but he did not feel much malice toward Lin Yao. Therefore, Yu Tianming was not affected for a long time.

However, this duration was long enough for Lin Yao to cross the fireball and reach Yu Tianming’s side.

“That’s really fast!”

Upon seeing Lin Yao closing in on him, Yu Tianming nervously clapped and unleashed a flaming palm.

His flaming palm perforated Lin Yao’s chest, but no feelings of joy could be seen on his face afterward. At that moment, he heard a voice beside him.

“Have you forgotten that I know body techniques?”

Clang!

As these words were heard, a dazzling sword was drawn before slashing beside him. Caught off guard, Yu Tianming’s body was badly hit and he was sent flying away from the platform.

“When did you…”

“The winner is Lin Yao.”
