Chapter 19 – Winning with One StrikeTranslated by Monkillu

The next morning, the sun shined over the square, making it shine with a golden glow .

The battles that will take place today will decide the winner of the assessment, and the person who becomes a core disciple will be announced .

Early in the morning, there was already a large group of disciples gathered in the square . Besides the numerous outer sect disciples, there were also a small amount of inner sect disciples present to see who would be lucky enough to become a core disciple .

Meanwhile, there were some inner sect disciples that were using their contribution points to make bets .

The azure clothes of yesterday had changed into white clothes today, and 20 white clad inner sect disciples appeared one after another .

20 new white inner disciples appeared one after another .

The first one to arrive was Wang Meng . The white clothed Wang Meng appeared full of vigour, attracting a large cheer from the crowd .

Of course, most of the cheering came from the female disciples .

Followed by Wu Sheng, this nameless boy who at yesterday’s fights had gained a lot of popularity, some people also cheered for him .

Next was Miao Kong, small eyes, ordinary looks, he was overlooked by everyone .

After Miao Kong was Zi Chen . Although a white clothed Zi Chen looked handsome and natural, but his popularity was not high, there weren’t any cheering sounds .

Instead, he received a deafening booing from the entire crowd .

“That is Zi Chen, the lucky bastard . ”

“That’s him . ”

The booing sound was just likes the rolling waves, waves by waves, rolling continuously, without any sign of stopping .

“It seems like you are way more miserable than me . ” says Miao Kong jokingly while turning his head .

Zi Chen spread his hands out helplessly, as for those booing he didn’t care at all . Because today, he will show his full strength to get first place

For this was the ultimate goal of Zi Chen

The battle to decide victory will happen today, Zi Chen did not need to conceal his strength anymore, the reason he concealed his strength yesterday was because he felt that some people might feel threatened, and make a shady move against him in the cover of the night .

After the booing, there came another wave of cheering, the cheers were not any weaker than the booing before, Lin Xue came out from behind of Zi Chen, and was being welcomed by everyone

Followed by the rest of the people, including Ke Xue, who was a robust youth, he actually used the Iron Fist technique to get into the top 20 .

“Very good, the great elder was standing on the stage wearing a large scarlet robe, and he gave a speech once more, “When I see you, I see the bright future of the Ling Wu sect, the Ling Wu sect is brilliant because of you . Fight and stimulate your potential, let us old fogies have a look of your real power . ”

The crowd bursted with excitement, the 20 youth were also excited, their eyes full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, including Zi Chen, today he will show his power to the fullest, entering the core in one swoop and become a core disciple .

Today’s battle, he wants to shock and astonish everyone .

“Good, I see that all of you are ready, let the battles begin . ” Said the great elder .

Yesterday the arrangement of the fights had already been put in order, Zi Chen was to fight against Lu Ben, an 18-year-old youth that used a rank three martial technique, Slashing Wind Blade .

The same as Lin Ying before .

But with regard to the comprehension of the martial technique, Lu Ben was stronger, he had almost touched the true meaning .

The 20 people were divided into ten arena’s, and the fights instantly kicked off .

Outside the arena, Su Mengyao also appeared today, but for the first fight, she did not watch Lin Xue’s fight, but was looking at Zi Chen’s fight instead .

“Don’t know how big his potential is, he concealed his strength yesterday, Today he will definitely show his complete strength, he is quite cautious . ” Su Mengyao thought secretly, in her pair of beautiful eyes there seemed to be a trace of curiousity .

Chen Feng, that was next to Su Mengyao, noticed the changes in her expression, he looked at Zi Chen, deep in his eyes there was a flash of cold light that was not easy to detect .

At the same time, the people that discovered that Zi Chen had concealed his strength yesterday, were staring at Zi Chen one after another, Wang Xiong and the other inner sect disciples that wanted to deal with Zi Chen were also the same .

“Zi Chen, you encountered me, Lu Ben, your luck has come to an end . ”

The long saber came out of it’s sheath, exuding a cold dazzling force, Lu Ben charged at Zi Chen and grinned fiendishly .

“Your strength is not bad, there was a chance for you to enter the top ten, but unfortunately you met me . ” said Zi Chen calmly .

“You boast shamelessly . Zi Chen, it’s still not too late for you to admit defeat, otherwise when you get injured by my saber, do not blame me for not reminding you . ” Lu Ben was furious, he started to brandish the long saber in his hand .

“Lu Ben, teach him a lesson . ”

“That’s right, you must make this lucky bastard experience your true strength . ”

“Let him know that luck runs out eventually, it is incomparable with true strength . ” [Greece won Euro 2004 though… So I don’t agree]

The inner sect disciples that were defeated by Zi Chen by a ‘fluke’ yesterday, started to shout from outside .

“Let’s fight, you have one chance to make a move . ” Zi Chen was still as calm as before, he looked at Lu Ben and said indifferently .

“Hmph, then let me have a look, do you have the chance to block my strike . ” Lu Ben snorted coldly, his saber flashed suddenly, slashing towards Zi Chen, during the time his saber was flickering, Lu Ben had already made dozens of saber strikes, just like a dense web of saber strikes, spreading toward Zi Chen .

“You haven’t grasped the true meaning, your web of saber strikes is full of flaws for me . ” Looking at the dense saber web, Zi Chen shook his head, his eyes were full of disdain . He moved his feet and dodged the most concentrated attack of the saber strikes by small differences, at the same time he clenched his fists tightly, suddenly the roaring sound of a fierce tiger appeared .

The Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain .

A fierce punch passed through the dense saber web and landed on Lu Ben’s chest directly .

“Bang!”

After a dull explosion sound appear/emerge, Lu Ben’s body is flying upside down toward the rear, the long saber/knife/blade in his hand slip out in a flash .

After a dull explosion sound appeared, Lu Ben’s body flew upside down towards the rear of the ring, the long saber slipped out of his hand .

One strike, and Lu Ben was defeated .

There were some ridicule shouts before, but after Zi Chen’s clean and swift victory, all the ridiculing sounds stopped suddenly .

“This is, the true meaning of the martial technique . ”

“This kid actually comprehended the true meaning of a martial technique . ”

“Out of the three strikes of the Fierce Tiger Fist, he can actually make a move that contains the true meaning, his talent is quite good . ”

On the stage, some elders had a surprised expression .

“True meaning . ” Su Mengyao’s beautiful eyes flashed, the ones at the fifth Zhen Qi layer of the previous year that could comprehend the true meaning of a technique were just a few, but each one of them got a good rank .

“Having Comprehended the true meaning, he already has the strength to enter the top ten, but he concealed his strength yesterday only for this kind of trivial thing?” Inside Su Mengyao was puzzled .

“A trivial true meaning ……” Chen Feng snorted, in the past, when he was at the fifth Zhen Qi layer, he had comprehended the true meaning of the entire set of a martial technique .

“Actually comprehending the true meaning of a technique, I have underestimated you . ” Wang Xiong’s eyes flashed with a cold glint .

“It’s only a single move with the true meaning, so what? He is still a trash, he will still die . An inner sect disciple nearby said that .

The top ten fights were very splendid .

Zi Chen, who had defeated his opponent in one move unexpectedly, naturally had attracted the attention of numerous people, in that moment, the other competitors also revealed their full strength .

“Mountain Breaking Palm . ”

Wang Meng shouted, his whole body emitting a fierce aura, he lifted his palm high just like the handle of a sharp blade, chopping towards the front ruthlessly .

“Peng”

The winner was decided in one strike .

A rank two martial technique with the true meaning, it can be considered lucky that the opposite party did not die .

“Star exploding fist . ”

From Wu Sheng’s body suddenly emerged a violent aura, his whole person was just like a raging fire that could explode at any time, his entire fist exuding a white light, collided with his opponent’s fist .

“Ka Cha”

The sound of a bone breaking resounded instantaneously, Wu Sheng’s opponent had flown backwards upside down, his arm limp .

Another one that comprehended the true meaning of a rank two martial technique .

“Thousand illusions palm . ”

Layer upon layer of palm figures appeared in the sky, some were real and some were illusions, several hundreds of palm figures fell down while blotting out the sky and covering up the earth, Lin Xue’s strikes similarly had the true meaning of the technique, and filled the sky .

“What situation is this?”

The people in the distance were dumbfounded, while the elders on the stage had a more and more defined surprised look, one after another true meanings were shown, exceeding their expectations .

Compared with Zi chen’s comprehension of a rank three martial technique’s true meaning, the true meaning of a rank two martial techniques that several other people had comprehended were more shocking .

As we all know, the rank two martial technique is a lot stronger than a rank three martial technique . It’s also harder to practice . But once you comprehended the true meaning of the technique, it’s fighting strength would be able to be compared with a rank one martial technique .

Zi Chen that shocked the people before, in front of these rank two martial techniques appeared too ordinary .

So he was ignored again .

Miao Kong’s Flowing Cloud Step had reached the step where he was be able to execute it freely as he desired . It drew the attention of many people . By relying on his Flowing Cloud Step, he was almost undefeated . By the difference of a hairs width, he dodged the attacks of his opponent, then seized the chance to attack .

He won eventually .

After defeating their opponents one after another, the top ten was decided .

All ten people had comprehended true meaning of their technique, making the crowd roar up .

“Never expected that there would be a lot of hidden talents in the inner sect disciple assessment this time ah . ” Chen Feng said lightly, not knowing whether he was praising or ridiculing .

“Amazing, everybody has comprehended the true meaning of their techniques, their talent is not ordinary either . ” The others exclaimed in surprise .

On the stage, the great elder looked the same as before, the other elders were somewhat surprised, but that was all .

The top ten lists has appeared .

Wang Meng, Wu Sheng, Miao kong, Lin Xue, Ke Xue, Luo Fei, Lin Mingchuan, Liu Lusheng, Pang Lujia, Zi Chen .

The ten people had all comprehended their technique’s true meaning, but Zi Chen was placed at the bottom .

The arrangement of the battles appeared quickly .

Wang Meng versus Luo Fei, Wu Sheng versus Lin Mingchuan, Miao Kong versus Liu Lusheng, Lin Xue versus Pang Lujia, Ke Xue versus Zi Chen .

There was a five rank difference between the two people that were about to fight .

The second round of the fights started .

The fights this time were more intense obviously .

“He he he, Zi Chen, I didn’t think that you would land in my hand finally . ” Looking at Zi Chen in front, Ke Xue laughed mischievously, he clenched his fists tightly, his joints made some popping sounds .

“I really didn’t expect this . ” Zi Chen said lightly, “But since I have bumped into you, I naturally will not forget my promise . ”

“Promise, what promise?” Ke Xue was surprised for a moment .

“That I’m going to beat you till your mother doesn’t even recognize you . ” Zi Chen said .

“Good kid . Ke Xue was furious, but he smiled instead and said: “I will also keep my promise, turning your head into a pig’s head . ”

Rank three martial technique, Iron Fist .

When the voice fell, Ke Xue waved a pair of Iron Fists, along with the howling sound of the wind, punching towards Zi Chen ruthlessly .

“Roar . ”

A fierce tiger roared . Zi Chen’s fists clenched tightly, and sent out the Fierce Tiger Fist .
