Chapter 80: An Unbelievable Tale

“Tsk, who would have thought this little Primordial Warrior at the Late Tendon Training Stage actually wanted to defeat a Primordial Warrior from the Bone Training Realm across a major boundary. That was just too foolish. How could something like that happen?”

“It would have been better to just admit defeat outright. Absolutely no one would have laughed at you. Why spout some big talk, then get beaten until you fled in defeat and became everyone’s laughingstock? So shameful and embarrassing.”

“Xincheng, you’ve already tried your best. Come down now, no need to fight anymore. Let’s just admit defeat.”

…

In this era, Primordial Force had just started to develop. There were no Origin Force Combat Skills, no powerful Origin Force Cultivation Methods. Everyone cultivated the Primordial Ultimate Art, and their actual combat abilities were quite poor. So victory or defeat depended on which side had the higher Primordial Force realm.

If the Primordial Force realm differed by a small stage, people still thought that relying on some combat experience and practical ability, it might be possible to fight across stages. But when the gap widened to a major boundary, ninety-nine out of a hundred people wouldn’t believe the lower-realm Primordial Warrior had any chance of winning. Defeat was certain.

But Jiang Xincheng would show them that their so-called common sense, their so-called axioms, did not apply to him.

Facing Zhao Yi’s fist, Jiang Xincheng did not dodge or evade. Instead, he also threw a punch, using the Mountain-Shaking Fist to its maximum, and heavily clashed with Zhao Yi’s fist.

Seeing Jiang Xincheng choose to confront Zhao Yi head-on despite being a major boundary behind, many people in the stands showed mocking expressions. This student at the Late Tendon Training Stage really didn’t know his limits.

“Boom…”

In the piercing collision, to everyone’s shock, Jiang Xincheng at the Late Tendon Training Stage did not move an inch, while Zhao Yi at the Bone Forging Initial Stage retreated three steps. Clearly, in this head-on clash, Jiang Xincheng had the upper hand.

“Impossible!”

Zhao Yi stared at Jiang Xincheng in disbelief, hardly able to believe his eyes: “You’re just a small Primordial Warrior at the Late Tendon Training Stage. How could you be my match? I already used eighty percent of my strength, yet I still couldn’t defeat you.”

The spectators in the stands who were watching were also shocked. They stood up one after another, looking over in astonishment, which drew the attention of those watching matches on other platforms to this one.

On the platform, Jiang Xincheng paid no attention to the utterly stunned Zhao Yi. He threw another punch, charging forward again, executing the Mountain-Shaking Fist to its limit, unleashing one hundred percent of the power of his Primordial Force, pounding Zhao Yi back step by step, leaving him almost unable to fight back.

Although Zhao Yi tried his best to counterattack with Taekwondo, unfortunately, against Jiang Xincheng, who had immensely rich combat experience, Zhao Yi’s Taekwondo was simply not enough. Under Jiang Xincheng’s deliberate control, Zhao Yi could only continuously throw punches, desperately blocking Jiang Xincheng’s fists.

Head-on clash, force against force. Jiang Xincheng, in the most glaring and impactful way, seized the initiative in the fight, declaring his ability to fight across stages, causing an uproar throughout the Stadium.

Under his fists, Zhao Yi from the Bone Training Realm had almost no ability to resist. Whether in terms of strength or speed, Jiang Xincheng overpowered Zhao Yi, this Bone Training Realm expert who was a major boundary stronger than him, beating him back step by step, his face filled with shock.

On the high platform, everyone stood up abruptly, staring in disbelief at Jiang Xincheng overpowering the Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior. For a long time, no one spoke. Even the Cloud Condensation Realm Centurion from the Flourishing Tang Empire couldn’t help but stand up, staring at Jiang Xincheng in shock.

Jiang Xincheng knew that because of this battle, he had attracted the attention of the Flourishing Tang Empire. Next, as long as his performance wasn’t too bad, there was a high likelihood he could join the Flourishing Tang Empire.

“Impossible! I am a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior. You’re just a Late Tendon Training Stage Primordial Warrior. How could your Primordial Force be stronger than mine? And your reaction speed and strike speed, how could they be faster than mine? I don’t believe it!”

Zhao Yi roared fiercely, clearly still unable to believe what was happening before him. But taking advantage of his moment of speech, Jiang Xincheng landed two consecutive punches on him, making him spit blood and retreat even more, almost completely losing the ability to fight back.

On the large platform, Jiang Xincheng was like a Divine Demon, beating Zhao Yi until he fled in defeat. It seemed as if the Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior wasn’t Zhao Yi, but Jiang Xincheng. Who would win between the two was already crystal clear.

But before this, everyone thought Jiang Xincheng was the one who would be beaten until he fled. Yet the outcome told everyone that the one fleeing in defeat wasn’t Jiang Xincheng, but Zhao Yi, this Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior.

“Boom…”

…

Three punches in a row, without giving Zhao Yi any chance to catch his breath. Jiang Xincheng’s momentum was like splitting bamboo. His fists drove straight to the core. Several heavy punches in a row struck Zhao Yi’s body, giving him no chance to block, and sent Zhao Yi flying heavily off the platform, unable to get up.

“I don’t believe it! This can’t be! This isn’t scientific at all! How could I lose? You’re just a Late Tendon Training Stage Primordial Warrior. I’m the Bone Training Realm expert!”

Even after being knocked to the ground, Zhao Yi still couldn’t believe what had happened. He roared fiercely at Jiang Xincheng, utterly unable to accept this outcome. And not just Zhao Yi; all the surrounding onlookers also found it hard to accept.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. A Late Tendon Training Stage Primordial Warrior actually defeated a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior head-on. This is like an unbelievable tale! How could such a thing happen at the All-School Martial Examination?”

“Oh my goodness, after cultivating Primordial Force for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen something like this. A Tendon Training Realm Primordial Warrior actually defeated a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior, and not with some trickery, but a direct, head-on confrontation. What’s happening to this world?”

“We’re all Tendon Training Realm Primordial Warriors. Why can he defeat a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior, while I can’t even last one move against one? Who exactly is this Jiang Xincheng? How is his combat power so terrifying?”

“Jiang Xincheng is actually this powerful? In just a few months, he’s reached a level where he can rival a Bone Training Realm Primordial Warrior. Such a supreme genius—if the Xuanyuan Family could recruit him, they might gain another leader. Should I tell Grandpa and the others about this?”

“Such a supreme genius, with such terrifying combat power—our Zhengyuan Group must recruit him. The chairman has repeatedly told us that the future belongs to the powerful Primordial Warriors, and Earth belongs to the powerful Primordial Warriors. So our purpose in coming to Tianhai University’s All-School Martial Examination is to recruit Pride of Heaven like Jiang Xincheng for the group.”
