In the center of the camp, a large area was left for Lin Xun and Shiao Kun who were standing facing each other.

The trainees from Camp 39 and other camps all fixed their eyes on the two persons at this point.

The atmosphere got tense instantly.

Many people were fully confident with Shiao Kun. With the cultivation of the ninth level in Martial Realm, he had got the chance to reach the Gang Spirit Realm a few years ago. Coming from the eminent old and big Clan of Shiao, he mastered the unique skill passed down from his ancestors.

But look at Lin Xun! If it had been for the fact that he won the first place in the quarterly assessment, most people might not know the existence of such a boy.

Especially when many people got to know that Lin Xun had only reached the eighth level in Martial Realm till now, and he didn’t seem to come from an eminent family as well, they became quite sure that Lin Xun must have cheated to win the first place in the quarterly assessment.

And now, it was time to verify the truth through the combat between Lin Xun and Shiao Kun.

Whir...

Shiao Kun stood on the ground, looking firm and unyielding. A burst of terrifying spiritual energy storm suddenly formed from his body, which made his grey hair fly, and a touch of disdain and arrogance rose in his eyes which were as sharp as an eagle’s.

For an instant, many people’s faces chanced slightly. What aggressive momentum!

Even Shi Yu and Ning Meng looked solemn. A person is inseparable from his fame which is just like the shadow for a tree. Just the momentum had proved that Shiao Kun deserved the reputation he enjoyed.

“I’m superior to you considering the cultivation level. Therefore, I let you launch the attack first based on the principles of justice,” Shiao Kun said in a flat voice, with his eyes shining like lightning and his momentum overwhelmingly imposing.

“Obedience is better than politeness,” Lin Xun smiled faintly. With his tiptoe treading on the ground forcefully, his body rushed violently towards Shiao Kun like an arrow off the bowstring.

Boom!

Lin Xun just threw one single punch, and the momentum struck through the air and caused a blast of terrifying spiritual energy torrent like rolling thunder.

When an overmatch started to attack, you would get to know his power. The punch faintly displayed a kind of spirit which was overwhelming, vigorous, and courageous.

“Ah, it seems to be the move called TRDM (tiger rushing down the mountain) in Marching Boxing. His boxing had unexpectedly reached the Mastery level in realm of Martial Tao, and obtained the momentum with his own style!” someone felt surprised.

“Humph, the Marching Boxing is just a basic boxing skill. The guy is rather arrogant, daring to deal with Shiao Kun with it,” someone felt disdainful.

“You actually have some ability, but the boxing is a little ordinary!” Shiao Kun spoke coldly. With his arms spinning and his hands making half fists whose drill-shaped momentum was visible, Shiao rushed at Lin violently.

Wuuuuu~~

A spiritual energy storm immediately rose from the drill-like fists, tore the air and let out harsh howls.

Storm-killing Boxing- Windstorm Slaughter!

Many people showed a hint of surprise on their faces. It was the unique skill passed down from the ancestors of Shiao Clan. With roaring momentum, the boxing was unique and terrifying, and seemed to be invincible in the world!

The move named “Windstorm Slaughter” was actually like a storm, whose power was converged in a punch and was extremely terrifying.

Rumble!

The fists of the two guys struck against each other, making a deafening sound. The raging momentum raised all the sand, dust and stones in over 30-meter area around.

Lin Xun backed three steps. With his eyes squinting, Lin thought to himself that the guy was indeed remarkable! Due to a momentary oversight, Lin Xun suffered quite a hidden loss upon this punch.

“You’d better admit defeat as early as possible if you just have such little power,” in the distance, Shiao’s figure looked like a spear, which was perfectly straight and fierce, with absolute confidence.

A great cheer went up from the crowd. Having been struck back by a single punch, how he could win the first place in the quarterly assessment?

He must have cheated in the assessment!

Both Ning Meng and Shi Yu frowned. Just under this punch, Lin Xun seemed to be slightly inferior to Shiao Kun, which made them a little bit worried.

While Qi Can, Mou Lengshin and their fellows felt a little ambivalent. If Lin Xun failed in the fighting, then not only would he lose face, but also the fame of the whole Camp 39 would be damaged, which was not what they wanted.

However, if Lin Xun won, they would not be happy, either, since they still bore a deep prejudice and grudge against Lin Xun.

So it was normal for them to feel ambivalent.

“The combat just began. Don’t be too confident. If you lose finally, you will be embarrassed,” taking a deep breath, Lin Xun chuckled.

“Yeah? I’m looking forward to seeing you defeat me. But what a pity! I don’t see any possibility of win on you,” Shiao Kun said indifferently.

Bang!

Lin Xun said no more. He fought his way forward still with his Marching Boxing. Lin stretched out as far as he could to perform the simple movements and was very agile.

When this fundamental boxing which was familiar to all of the people was performed by Lin Xun, it boasted a kind of majestic and powerful momentum.

But Shiao Kun was by no means inferior, and his performance was even more eye-catching. His Storm-killing Boxing was so sharp in strength, with terrifying tearing force which was like a windstorm raging around. Whether in power and in technique, it was far superior to Marching Boxing.

Boom!

They fought at close quarters, and for the moment, the momentum released by them howled, thunderous sound filled the air, the surroundings shook, stones were driven along and sand was whirled about, and the whole world was enveloped in darkness.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it was obvious that Lin Xun was a little inferior, and showed a sign of being repressed, but strangely enough, Shiao Kun could not completely defeat Lin for a short while.

It made many people feel surprised spontaneously. Though Lin Xun only reached the eighth level of Martial Realm, he could hold on till now in the one-to-one battle with Shiao, which was quite unusual.

What was particularly important was that Lin had wielded the Marching Boxing from beginning to end. When the wide-spread basic boxing in the empire was performed by Lin, it should be powerful enough to withstand Storm-killing Boxing, which was rather striking.

If Lin Xun got the cultivation of the ninth level in Martial Realm, and mastered a kind of boxing which was comparable to Storm-killing Boxing, then what kind of combat situation would be displayed?

Unimaginable!

Now all trainees from other camps, including Shiao Kun, had perceived the subtleness showed in the combat situation, and they all frowned.

How come?

How could it be possible that Shiao Kun could not defeat a guy on the eighth level of the Martial Realm?

Could it be possible that Shiao reserved his strength?

Boom!

Suddenly, with a cold humph, Shiao jumped up like a vigorous dragon. With two dazzling lightning swirls circling around his fists respectively, he violently launched another round of attacks.

Storm-killing Boxing- Electrocution!

For an instant, just like a flash of bright lightening fell from the clouds, the radiance of his fists was so blazing that many people could not even open their eyes.

This was the unique skill in Storm-killing Boxing. Shiao Kun was force to wield this skill because he had obviously realized the tenaciousness of Lin Xun and didn’t dare to reserve strength any more.

Almost at the same time, a dash of determination flashed across Lin’s black eyes. The spiritual energy seethed, and ran in his body like overwhelming flood.

Instead of retreating, Lin actively launched a head-on attack, with his straight and handsome figure leaping in the air like startled rainbow!

And the boxing he wielded was still one move in the Marching Boxing, called RTSM (ridge to suppress the moon).

Bang!

An earth-shaking crash sounded. Lin backed over 10 steps, and with his long black hair flying in the air, Lin seemed to cut a sorry figure, but he didn’t get any injury!

And look at Shiao Kun! He actually also backed four or five steps until he steadied himself. When he cast a glance at Lin again, the expression in Shiao’s eyes had become different.

Indeed, he didn’t expect that Lin Xun was even more tenacious than he had imagined. Other practitioners of the eighth level in Martial Realm could have been completely defeated by his “Electrocution”.

But Lin only backed ten or more steps. What was more, Lin didn’t show any sign of injury.

Surprised shouts burst out at the moment. It seemed to be unbelievable! People present could not imagine how could Lin have withstood the attack.

The shouts made Xiao a little bit embarrassed. With his cultivation of the top ninth level in Martial Realm and his ancestral Storm-killing Boxing, he didn’t even defeat a guy only on the eighth level in Martial Realm. It was such a shame!

“How is it? You have lacked confidence, haven’t you? Think about the words you just said. It was rather ridiculous indeed!” Lin Xun chuckled. His eyebrows looked like two sharp blades, his black eyes were as bright as lightning, and there was a touch of ridicule in his words.

“Humph!”

Shiao Kun snorted coldly. With his momentum suddenly becoming more imposing, Shiao yelled in to the air, and like a howling storm which carried terrifying turbulent flow and fierce wind, he violently rushed at Lin Xun.

Shiao’s body looked like a windstorm, and his fists were just like the eyes of the storm. His raspy yell made many people on the spot feel upset, and even could not tolerate it any more.

Rumbling~

The two guys fought at close quarters again.

Compared with what happened a short while ago, no doubt the combat situation at the moment got even more intense. Dangerous and cruel, this fight was obviously not for measuring strength and exchanging skills, and clearly it had no difference from a life-or-death battle.

Shiao’s momentum was powerful and unmatchable, but Lin Xun’s was not inferior as well. Lin was not repressed, instead, he managed to avoid the attacks from Shiao.

Witnessing the scenes, many practitioners nearby changed their expressions. None of the onlookers had ever imagined the combat capacity of Lin was so powerful and even beyond their expectation.

The only thing that make them feel lucky was that Lin Xun still did not deserve the title - first place of the quarterly assessment based on the combat capacity he showed now.

Even though Shiao Kun could not beat him in a short time, he would sooner or later be defeated by Shiao as time went by.

Unless a miracle happened!

But was it possible?

“Could Lin reverse the situation?” Shi Yu and Ning Men who stood in the distance were not sure, either.

If Lin Xun could not even defeat Shiao Kun, how could he compete with such powerful trainees as Bai Lingshi and Zhao Yin. If so, it seemed to prove that Lin was unworthy of the title - “first place of the quarterly assessment”. By that time, Lin Xun might be the laughingstock of the whole Bloodthirsty Camp.

That would be the worst result!

Clang!

Just at the moment, Lin Xun suddenly pulled out his Greenwave Saber. Sabreplay suddenly replaced boxing, which attracted the attention of the crowd.

But in their eyes, Lin Xun had been driven into an impasse, and his reaction was a sign that he had to change his way of combat.

Many people couldn’t help feeling exhilarated!

Even Shiao Kun was no exception. Laughing grimly, Shiao turned over his palm, and then met head-on Lin’s attack with a black demilance.

“Lin Xun, your struggle is doomed to be in vain. You’d better admit defeat immediately, thus you may save your face!”

Shiao Kun shouted so loudly that even the land was trembling. He started off an attack with his demilance. With his figure flashing like lightning, and his grey hair flying wildly, he looked like an invincible god.
