Chapter 103 Fighting the Bear
General Wang Jingyi was unaware that Liu Sheng was already an eighth-rank martial artist.
When he heard that Liu Sheng's second opponent was actually Xiong Li, who was at the eighth rank of the Great Perfection realm, he was shocked.
Anger welled up inside me.
His sharp gaze swept over the clerk in charge of the list below the stage. The young clerk seemed to sense it, and shrank back, not daring to meet his eyes.
"The list has been tampered with. Could the person who can mobilize these people be County Magistrate Kang?"
Although Wang Jingyi could think of this, it was in front of everyone at this time.
There's nothing he can do.
I just hope Liu Sheng will be quick-witted and admit defeat immediately if things turn bad, so he can save his life.
Anyway, Liu Sheng has already won one game and is now eligible to be a substitute, so he might be able to fight for a chance later.
Liu Sheng was unaware of General Wang's thoughts; he remained calm as he stood on the arena.
Watching the giant man, who was as tall as an iron tower, leap onto the arena with surprising agility with a "thud," causing the surface of the arena to tremble slightly.
Xiong Li, an eighth-grade master martial artist, looked down at the skinny Liu Sheng with undisguised contempt in his eyes, as if he were looking at a skinny monkey that he could crush at will.
Thinking of this, he grinned.
His incomplete, white teeth were exposed.
He said in a muffled voice:
"Kid, if you can take one punch from me, you win!"
He seemed too lazy to even waste words. With a low growl, his muscles bulged, and he truly resembled a giant bear standing upright, bringing with him a foul stench as he pounced with the force of Mount Tai crashing down!
He swung his fists, like bear paws striking, covering Liu Sheng's head—simple and brutal.
Liu Sheng remained calm and activated his spiritual eyes, seeing that Xiong Li was surrounded by a light orange glow.
"He's a suitable opponent; we can have a good fight and gain some practical experience."
He saw Xiong Li's weakness: a deep yellow spot of light shimmering in the center of his enormous belly.
Even if he could defeat his enemy in one move, being crushed by this several-hundred-pound mountain would probably not be pleasant for him. Light orange indicates that the difference in strength between the two sides is not significant.
This is a good opportunity to gain some experience.
Thinking of this, Liu Sheng did not take the hit head-on. Instead, he moved with agility, like a fish swimming, and slipped under Xiong Li's arm in the nick of time.
At the same time, he swung his elbow in a backhand motion, aiming for the man's ribs.
When Xiong Li received a close-range elbow strike, he didn't care at all. He simply turned slightly and used his thick back muscles to take the hit. With a muffled "thud," Liu Sheng felt as if he had crashed into a piece of cast iron wrapped in leather.
"Is this really just light orange? How come it's so different from the previous white one?"
Liu Sheng was surprised.
Despite taking the blow, Xiong Li only swayed slightly before turning around and sweeping his thick arm across like a beast swinging its tail, with a force exceeding a thousand pounds!
Even if you're not hit, just being grazed by it would be unpleasant.
Liu Sheng was still able to nimbly dodge the attacks. With a burst of energy, his fists rained down on Xiong Li's weak points in the abdomen. However, Xiong Li had thick skin and flesh, and had also mastered the Giant Bear Fist, making his physique extraordinary. He could almost ignore ordinary blows.
He was beaten so badly that he roared repeatedly and chased after Liu Sheng, stomping on the arena with loud thuds.
"This... directly striking the weak point didn't work at all; I'll have to go for something more ruthless!"
As Liu Sheng was considering his next move, he noticed that Xiong Li was becoming increasingly agitated, feeling that his opponent was too slippery and he couldn't hit him at all.
"roar!"
After missing his punch again and taking more than a dozen blows, Xiong Li finally flew into a rage. He had previously said that if Liu Sheng could take one of his punches, he would win. But since he came on stage, Liu Sheng has refused to take his punches, leaving him powerless.
Now, Xiong Li's eyes were bloodshot as he saw Liu Sheng forced into a corner of the ring, where his room to maneuver was finally limited.
"roar!"
Xiong Li lunged at him with all his might.
This time, he spread his arms wide like a giant bear encircling him, in coordination with the ropes at the edge of the ring.
This completely blocked Liu Sheng's room to dodge.
They were determined to either "hug and kill" this skinny monkey or knock him off the stage!
"Oh no!"
Below the stage, Lu You and Yang Hongliu felt a chill in their hearts. Xiao Lan, sitting on Lai San's shoulders, was so frightened that she covered her eyes with her little hands, crying out but daring not to look.
General Wang Jingyi also clenched his fist.
"Admit defeat! Why won't you admit defeat?!"
He was even considering whether to immediately remind the deputy examiner to stop the competition.
Just when everyone was quite nervous.
Liu Sheng, however, remained completely calm.
"Whether we can defeat Wu Xiucai or not depends on this one battle!"
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it and that he was completely enveloped by Xiong Li's enormous figure, he was finally going to use his ultimate move!
In that instant, Liu Sheng's muscles, which had been restrained and gentle, exploded like a boulder thrown into a deep pool!
The well-defined muscle lines are prominent.
A tremendous force rose from the ground, running from the legs to the waist, through the spine, and all the way to the shoulders!
Instead of retreating, Liu Sheng advanced, his waist and hips suddenly sinking, twisting his body, leaning forward, sinking his shoulders, and thrusting his elbows, concentrating all his strength on his right shoulder, and unleashing the fierce and powerful close-range strike of Bajiquan – Tie Shan Kao!
The point of impact was precisely Xiong Li's weak point, right in the center of his large belly.
"Bang--!!!"
A deafening roar, far more muffled than any previous collision, exploded out!
The bear's powerful pounce, its ferocious and determined smile, froze instantly, turning into utter astonishment and pain.
He felt an indescribable, immense force, like a sledgehammer striking him head-on, slamming into his chest and abdomen.
The body's protective qi and blood, as well as its tough muscles, felt as if they were being torn apart, and the internal organs were being violently churned together!
"Wow!"
Xiong Li coughed up a mouthful of blood.
A burly man weighing several hundred pounds, with a massive body.
He was actually struck by that mountain-leaning strike.
It was thrown off the ground.
Like a sturdy sack full of mud, it traced a heavy arc, crossed the ropes at the edge of the ring, and crashed heavily onto the ground a dozen feet away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
There was a deathly silence both on and off the stage.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the giant who had landed, curled up in a ball, and was groaning in pain.
He glanced again at Liu Sheng, who was slowly coming to an end on the stage, breathing slightly heavily.
This relatively thin martial artist, relying on a single "Mountain-Pulling Strike," was actually able to send a fully-fledged eighth-grade Giant Bear Fist martial artist flying? Is the close-combat explosive power of Bajiquan really that strong?
The assistant examiner was also taken aback for a moment, then said loudly:
"Number 25, Crescent Moon County, Liu Shengsheng!"
Upon hearing the result, Liu Sheng muttered to himself, "If you won, you won, but why the repetition of words?"
However, just as the results were announced...
A sudden change has occurred!
Xiong Li, standing below the arena, seemed unwilling to accept defeat. He struggled to his feet and roared loudly.
"roar!"
Although he was bleeding from his mouth and nose and his face was pale, clearly indicating that his internal organs were injured, the ferocity bestowed upon him by the Giant Bear Fist was now fully unleashed.
With bloodshot eyes, Xiong Li stared intently at Liu Sheng, who had already won on the stage, and let out a howl like a wounded beast. Ignoring everything else, he charged onto the stage again.
Judging from their posture, they were about to break the rules.
We must continue our attack on Liu Sheng!
