Chapter 77 - Why Not?
Chapter 77 Why Not?
Chu Nan frowned as he looked at Rodman.
Earlier, this guy had been very friendly to him in the competition room and had even been the first to greet him. Why did he look like he had a deep hatred when he saw him now?
“Hey, when did I offend you?” Seeing Rodman’s furious and aggrieved expression, Chu Nan could not help but ask.
After the opening ceremony of the finals ended, there was immediately a redraw for the finals. Chu Nan’s first opponent was actually Rodman.
This already surprised Chu Nan, but what stunned him even more was Rodman’s attitude.
“Hmph!” Rodman snorted heavily, “I’m just not convinced. Why didn’t our Star-Grade Martial Artist come?”
“Ah?” Chu Nan was stunned before he reacted, “You’re angry because Supremacy Mu Yutong agreed to give our Earth Federation’s participating martial artists a special reward?”
“That’s right!” Rodman shouted angrily, “As long as you guys enter the top eight, you can obtain a B-rank martial technique reward. That’s a B-rank martial technique! As for me, even if I win the championship, it’s only a few hundred thousand federation coins!”
Chu Nan immediately laughed.
“Hey, a few hundred thousand federation coins is not a small amount, okay? At the current exchange rate, I think it can be exchanged for more than a hundred thousand Vig Coins, right?”
“What’s the use?!” Rodman roared, but then he paused for a moment, “Uh… Alright, I admit that hundreds of thousands of Vig Coins are very useful, but they can’t compare to a B-rank martial technique, okay!”
“There’s no choice.” Chu Nan shrugged, “Who asked us to have a Star-Grade Martial Artist here? Moreover, no one expected him to be so generous, right? Of course, if not for the provocation of Supremacy Norman, I don’t think he would have stated such a good reward.”
“Hmph! That’s why I said that they should’ve invited the Star-Grade Martial Artists of our Vig Republic this time. Otherwise, we might have gotten a reward.”
Rodman still had an indignant expression. His fists collided with a loud bang.
“Forget it, no matter what, I definitely won’t show any mercy this time. I must beat you down!”
“You speak as if you would have held back if not for this reason…”
Chu Nan muttered and took a step back with his right foot. He assumed a posture and focused his gaze on Rodman.
To the remaining six young martial artists of the Earth Federation who were below the age of 20, as long as they could pass two consecutive rounds, they would be able to successfully enter the top eight and obtain the reward of a B-rank martial technique promised by Supremacy Mu Yutong. It was sufficiently satisfying.
However, to Chu Nan, compared to obtaining these rewards, he had a greater goal. He wanted to obtain the special recommendation of Supremacy Mu Yutong to enter Star Cloud Academy and obtain the chance to learn the “Arhat Overlord Golden Body”.
This was an S-rank martial technique!
Moreover, since Supremacy Mu Yutong said that this martial technique was very suitable for Chu Nan, it meant that it was really suitable. Moreover, there was a possibility that Chu Nan could successfully cultivate it.
Compared to the few S-rank martial techniques in the entire Earth Federation, how could a mere B-rank martial technique satisfy Chu Nan?
If he wanted to obtain Supremacy Mu Yutong’s special recommendation, he had to perform well in this competition.
As for how to perform well… at the very least, he could not be eliminated in the first round of the finals.
“The competition begins!”
As soon as the referee’s voice fell, Rodman’s legs had already shot out, and he rushed over like a cannonball.
Countless exquisite data fell into Chu Nan’s eyes, allowing him to quickly determine all the details of Rodman’s attack.
He could have easily dodged Rodman’s attack, but with a thought, he suddenly stepped on the ground with his right foot. His body sank slightly, and then he punched out with his right fist.
Sitting Horse Rush Fist!
Boom!
Chu Nan’s fist collided with Rodman’s punch.
A thunderous explosion sounded. Ripples that were visible to the naked eye spread between the two of them, fully displaying the terrifying power contained in this collision.
Rodman’s body suddenly swayed back, but Chu Nan took two steps back before stabilizing himself.
“Eh?”
Surprise sounded around the arena.
Even an audience who knew nothing about martial arts could tell that after this punch, Chu Nan was only at a slight disadvantage, proving that the strength of his punch was not much inferior to Rodman.
11all.
However, Chu Nan was clearly only a low-level Overlord Body Martial Artist, but it was obvious that Rodman was an Internal Breath Realm expert. Why was the strength of Chu Nan’s fist only slightly inferior to Rodman’s and not sent him flying?
However, when they recalled Chu Nan’s performance in the preliminaries, he could indeed rely on the low-level Overlord Body realm body to forcefully fight Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists. It was not strange for him to do this.
Unlike the ordinary audience, the martial artists who were paying attention to this competition had a different opinion.
“No, this kid did not use his Internal Breath in this punch, but the strength was so shocking. Could it be that his physical strength increased so much in a day?”
Norman frowned as he looked at Chu Nan on the virtual screen with a puzzled expression.
“It has only been three days since I last saw his competition. How can he obtain such a huge increase in such a short period of time?”
After a pause, Norman turned to look at Mu Yutong
“Hey, could it be that you secretly imparted some special martial technique to this kid?”
Mu Yutong indifferently glanced at him and did not answer. He only continued to stare at Chu Nan on the virtual screen in deep thought.
On the other hand, Yang Xirui waved her fists.
She was not a martial artist, but after these few days of studying, her understanding of martial arts had already far surpassed that of an ordinary audience. Moreover, she had been paying attention to Chu Nan these past few days. Of course, she could tell that Chu Nan’s seemingly ordinary punch had displayed an obvious increase compared to the last time she saw him.
At the thought of this, Yang Xirui turned to look at the stage in the distance.
Mu Yutong and the two Star-Grade Martial Artists came to a conclusion together. It was almost impossible for Chu Nan to even become a Void Break Martial Artist in the future, but he had obtained such an obvious growth in three days. It was simply a slap in the face to the two Star-Grade Martial Artists.
In just three days, he could grow so much!
Then with his powerful martial arts talent, on what basis could he not become a Void Break Martial Artist in the future, or even stronger?
Yang Xirui retracted her gaze from the rostrum and raised her head slightly to look at the huge virtual screen that was floating in the sky specially set up by the competition’s organizing committee.
This super huge virtual screen had been repeating a projection these past few days. The content was to describe the process of a martial artist from weak to strong in order to show the huge potential of cultivating martial arts.
In the first scene, a human was pounced on and killed by a beast.
This was an ordinary person who had not cultivated martial arts. He was even unable to defeat ordinary beasts.
In the second scene, the human defeated the beast before him and easily defeated a few ordinary people who were besieging him.
This was a Novice Martial Artist who could already match ordinary beasts and easily defeat several ordinary people.
In the third scene, a sharp blade slashed at the human body, but there were no wounds.
This was an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. Ordinary weapons could no longer cause any damage to his body.
In the fourth scene, the human punched out. A ball of red light flickered on his fist, and the thick wall in front of him collapsed.
This was the power of an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist’s punch. It could even match the power of a traditional cannonball.
In the fifth scene, a human was surrounded by red light. He looked up at the sky and suddenly stomped his feet, rushing into the sky. Then, he punched down, and a large river below broke.
This was a Void Break Martial Artist who had already completed fusion of the inside and outside. His Internal Breath had fused with the energy of heaven and earth and could fly through the air. With a punch, it was not difficult to collapse mountains and break streams.
In the sixth scene, the human beings flew to a high place in the sky and looked at the atmosphere surrounding them. They suddenly jumped and actually broke through the atmosphere and flew into the vast starry sky.
Then, he collided with a huge battleship that was several kilometers long. He threw a punch, and the battleship’s shield flickered before it exploded into a cluster of brilliant flames.
Such a huge and terrifying interstellar battleship had actually been shattered into pieces by this punch.
This was a Heaven Control Martial Artist containing a mini universe inside him. He could traverse the universe’s sea of stars with his body alone and fight ordinary interstellar battleships.
In the seventh scene, the human was floating in the sea of stars. His figure suddenly flashed, and when he appeared again, he was already in another cosmos.
He did not wave his fists. With a glance, the small fleet of more than ten battleships in front of him was annihilated.
This was a Star-Grade Martial Artist!
Once he became a Star-Grade Martial Artist, not only could he roam the sea of stars with his body, he could even directly perform a super spatial jump. Wherever his thoughts went, cosmic spatial energy entered his hands. Powerful space battleships were simply like toys in his eyes.
This was the peak of human martial arts at present, the supreme experts standing at the top of all martial artists!
Yang Xirui did not pay attention to the next few scenes but stopped at the scene of the fifth human tearing through the air.
With such a rare and outstanding martial arts talent, how could Chu Nan stop here?
