The reason no one has challenged Su Chen yet is not because they fear him, but because they know even if they win, they’ll have to accept challenges from others!
They can’t even defeat those ranked one or two positions ahead of them, so why should they occupy that position?!
By then, they’ll be seriously injured, and even striving for a slightly higher position will be out of the question!
You could say they’re being sensible!
Ultimately, it’s all about strength!
Soon, the twelfth-ranked contender stepped onto the platform!
After four or five moves, the twelfth-ranked contender won!
The thirteenth-ranked contender had no complaints; it was just a matter of skill. Although he was stronger than most late-stage Great Supre Realm Eighth Turn martial artists, he was still far from the pinnacle of the Great Supre Realm Eighth Turn!
"Now are you ready?"
At this mont, the old man Xun asked the forr fourteenth-ranked contender.
That person rose and said:
"I concede!"
Originally, he thought he had a certain hope, but after witnessing the contest between the thirteenth and twelfth-ranked contenders, he knew the gap was too great!
There’s simply no hope of winning!
If he ended up seriously injured, lying in bed for months, it wouldn’t be worth it!
The old man Xun nodded and looked at the twelfth-ranked contender!
However, at this level, he had a lot more thoughts!
He was just a step away from the Great Supre Realm Nine Turns, and naturally wanted to see if he could break into the top nine!
The allure of the Washing Dragon Pond was too great!
Others knew there was absolutely no chance, so they had to give up, but he might still have a shot!
If he could get in, he might breakthrough within it, and more importantly, the Washing Dragon Pond greatly stabilizes a martial artist’s foundation!
He was pondering whom to challenge first?!
Should he challenge Su Chen first, or Zhu Yan from the Duanhai Sect?!
He thought for a mont and decided to challenge Su Chen first!
Because after defeating Su Chen, he could rest for a while and let Zhu Yan challenge him first!
By then, Zhu Yan was more than 80-90% likely to challenge Wang Ye from the Lingyun Sect, and if he challenged , it wouldn’t be very honorable since I just fought a match!
More importantly, after beating , he would still have to face Wang Ye’s challenge, which would be unavoidable!
If this happened, I just needed to defeat the winner among them!
I must say, he thought it through quite well!
As for Su Chen, he had ignored him!
He didn’t understand why old man Xun ranked that young Su boy in the top nine!
Not to ntion Wang Ye and Zhu Yan, he wasn’t convinced either!
His gaze shifted to Su Chen, tilting his head slightly upwards:
"Co up!"
Su Chen heard this, a faint smile playing on the corner of his mouth!
Finally, it was his turn!
Up to now, he was the first among the top nine to be challenged!
Su Chen slowly walked up the platform to face his opponent!
"I don’t know why old man Xun ranked you in the top nine; I believe many people are unconvinced!"
The twelfth-ranked contender looked at Su Chen and said:
"Now, let see what you’re made of!"
"You’re not qualified!"
Su Chen chuckled lightly:
"Go ahead!"
"Such arrogance!"
Suddenly, the twelfth-ranked contender’s anger surged, and his montum abruptly erupted violently, as if a storm was about to descend!
The next mont, he attacked!
With a punch swiftly thrown, dense True Yuan flowed on the fist, rippling with layers of light!
The massive fist trembled slightly, as if an unparalleled power was about to burst forth!
A restrained yet overwhelming aura clashed and rippled, with the sound of friction echoing through the air!
The frightening thing was, this punch carried an incredible pressure capable of shaking heaven and earth!
At this mont, the punch rushed towards Su Chen at an extre speed!
Ji Ya, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but feel her heart leap to her throat!
Many others sneered, believing that under this punch, the young man’s true face would be revealed!
Many knew this twelfth-ranked contender was most skilled with fists, and his most powerful attacks were also with fists!
Seeing such a punch, it was clear the contender hadn’t held back at all!
At this mont, the crowd looked at Su Chen with full disdain!
Could he, an unknown young man, truly deserve a spot in the top nine?!
In their view, this young man indeed had promise, but to claim he belonged in the top nine was going too far!
At this point, Su Chen also made his move!
Just as before, he threw a punch!
Clean and neat, without any hesitation!
More crucially, this punch had no techniques, no evasiveness!
Under the gaze of all eyes, he t the challenge!
Everyone was stunned!
They knew the twelfth-ranked contender was most skilled with fists, that Su Chen kid actually chose a direct clash with a fist!
This was seeking death!
Even though he had used fists before, everyone believed he had relied on his speed advantage at the ti, not genuinely on fists!
Thus, in their eyes, the young man nad Su Chen had no hope!
Not only others thought this way, but even the twelfth-ranked contender was astonished!
He didn’t expect anyone would dare to fight him with fists!
He had fought countless tis, and indeed, no one dared to clash fists with him!
If this young man wanted to die, he would oblige him!
In an instant!
Amid countless gazes!
Fists collided!
"Boom, boom, boom~~~"
The roaring sound engulfed the entire square, sweeping across thousands, as if an arid ocean and crumbling mountains, shocking all!
However, what no one expected was!
The young man nad Su Chen was still standing there firmly, unmoving like a pine, whereas the twelfth-ranked contender was rapidly retreating!
With each step back, his fist cracked a little more, and only at the edge of the Douwu Platform did he manage to stabilize!
At this mont, his once-proud fist was now bloodied, bone-deep and utterly devastated!
Everyone was completely stunned at that mont!
Absolute silence!
They never realized this young man had actually won!
And, he won using his opponent’s best thod, which was terrifying!
The twelfth-ranked contender also looked up at Su Chen, his shock even more profound than others!
He realized the young man was still calm, as if he had done sothing ordinary!
"I concede!"
After a few breaths, he uttered these words!
Indeed, the difference was obvious; the only choice was to concede and step down!
After he stepped down, the eyes of the crowd returned to playfulness!
Because the next challenger was Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan from the Duanhai Sect!
The conflict between Duanhai Sect and Su Chen was well-known!
It could be said that Zhu Yan would almost certainly choose Su Chen over Wang Ye from the Lingyun Sect!
Especially with the strength Su Chen had just demonstrated, making this confrontation even more intriguing!
