Martial Master

Upon understanding Li Qingfeng's strength, Qin Chen lost the desire to continue fighting. The Nine Star God Emperor Technique activated, and powerful true energy instantly gathered in his right hand. The blood and energy in his body surged with a roar, and his aura suddenly increased dramatically as he punched out.

Bang!

The arena beneath their feet simultaneously shattered, ripping open a huge gap. After a moment of stillness, Li Qingfeng's face turned from red to white, and with a loud bang, he was knocked back.

In mid-air, he struggled to stabilize his figure and landed over ten meters away. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What?"

Everyone below the stage was stunned, standing up in shock, especially Wang Qiming, who was utterly astonished.

Earlier, he had been defeated by this very punch from Li Qingfeng and knew clearly the terrifying power it contained. Yet Qin Chen, a late Human Level martial artist, had blocked it? Not only that, but he had also injured Li Qingfeng!

"Impossible. Every martial artist's physical strength has its limits. I soaked in medicinal baths from a young age to train my fists to this level, and I even wear gloves. But you have nothing. How can you match me?" Li Qingfeng's fists trembled slightly as he spoke with a sinister expression.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng no longer had the elegance and grace he initially displayed, resembling an enraged wolf with a fierce gaze.

Qin Chen replied calmly, "Indeed, my fists' physical strength is not as strong as yours, but fist techniques are not just about whose fists are harder or whose strength is greater."

The crowd below was bewildered, scratching their heads. Were fist techniques not about these things?

"He's right. Besides strength and hardness, fist techniques also involve skill and intent."

On the platform, Lingwu King Xiao Zhan exhaled heavily and said in a serious tone.

"Skill? Intent?"

The other martial artists still felt a bit confused.

Lingwu King Xiao Zhan explained: "In the battle between Qin Chen and Li Qingfeng just now, on the surface, their strength seemed equal, but in reality, Qin Chen's control over his power was extremely precise. With each punch, he unleashed the power of all his muscles throughout his body. Moreover, when he punched, there was not only brute force but also a kind of soft force, achieving a balance of hardness and softness."

"In other words, on the surface, both displayed a force equivalent to twenty-five horsepower, but in fact, the force Qin Chen truly exerted might have only been twenty horsepower. He retained a portion of his strength, and each of Li Qingfeng's punches was partially negated by Qin Chen's soft force. As a result, the damage to Qin Chen's arms was only about half of the actual impact, if not less."

Xiao Zhan marveled, "His control over power is so exquisite that even I am astonished. This level of control is something most Heaven Level martial artists can't achieve. To truly do what Qin Chen has done, one would have to be at least a Mystic Level expert!"

Hiss!

A series of gasps could be heard around the platform.

If anyone else had said this, the crowd might have doubted it, but since it was the renowned Lingwu King of the Qi Kingdom, no one dared to question the truthfulness of his words.

"Qin Chen's power is actually this strong? But I've heard he couldn't awaken his bloodline before?"

"He was clearly a waste; why has he suddenly become so strong? Was he pretending to be weak before?"

"The Qin family is really lucky. A few years ago, they had Qin Feng, and now Qin Chen. The line of King Dingwu truly makes one envious."

The exclamations of the crowd flowed into Li Qingfeng's ears, making him feel as if he were being pricked by needles.

"No, I am the number one genius of Tianxing Academy. This glory should belong to me. No one can take it away."

Li Qingfeng silently roared in his heart, glaring hatefully at Qin Chen, "Do you think you've won? You're celebrating too early. I wanted to keep this card hidden, but now, let me show you my true strength."
