57: Chapter 57: Melee Combat? Are you sure?

While the Foundation Establishment Cultivator and the Destruction Black Dragon were fighting intensely, Yang Bai also arrived at the abandoned football field.

Chen Yuhao stood in the center of the football field, arms crossed, eyes closed as he rested his mind.

Sensing Yang Bai's arrival, he opened his eyes, revealing dark gold vertical pupils.

“I originally thought you would join that battle. It seems you have a lot of confidence in your subordinates.”

Chen Yuhao smiled, while simultaneously stretching his limbs to adjust his state.

“Chen Yuhao, when I participated in the class monitor promotion assembly during my second year of high school, I fought my way in based on my grades. People said I was ranked fifth in the grade at Linchuan No. 4 Middle School.”

“Actually, they were wrong. My grades at that time were the fifth highest in the history of Linchuan No. 4 Middle School.”

“Last year, I qualified for the promotion assembly as the top student of No. 4 Middle School and the top scorer of Linchuan City.”

Yang Bai slowly leaned down, stepping into a horse stance to lower his center of gravity, saying things that seemed out of place for the current situation.

“Oh, those are decent grades.” Chen Yuhao smiled, but his expression stiffened slightly.

“So, I don't understand why you're so confident and talk so much,” Yang Bai sneered.

Chen Yuhao understood the mockery in Yang Bai's words, and his face instantly darkened. “You really are looking for death.”

Yang Bai settled into a firm horse stance, arms extended one in front and one behind, assuming a wide martial arts posture.

Starting Stance: [Imperial Heaven Baji Quan — Erlang Carrying the Mountain]

With a dark expression, Chen Yuhao slowly raised his left knee, his palms naturally clenching into hollow fists. He held his arms in front of him with elbows pointing forward.

Starting Stance: [Ancient Gana Muay Thai — Knee Raise and Elbow Strike]

“Wearing a Tang Suit while using Muay Thai, you're really a poser,” Yang Bai sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two disappeared from their spots in the next second.

“Boom! Boom!!!”

A white figure and a black figure collided, fists clashing against fists, legs striking against legs.

Baji Quan and Ancient Muay Thai are both incredibly fierce martial arts. They focus on honing every part of the body into a weapon to crush the enemy in front of them.

Baji Quan emphasizes power generation; the feet stomp the ground, power rises from the earth, and through the twisting of the waist and abdomen, it can deliver unbelievable force in an instant.

Ancient Muay Thai emphasizes technique and physical conditioning. Punches are swift, kicks are decisive, and the forehead, knees, and joints are tempered to be stronger than steel.

Combined with Chen Yuhao's Destruction Dragon Race constitution, hard dragon scales had grown over those vital areas, greatly enhancing his attack and defense.

In their battle, they didn't use divine power directly; instead, they used bodies reinforced by divine power to engage in a bloody close-quarters fight.

This scene immediately ignited the passion of the spectators; nothing provides a greater thrill than fierce fists and splattering blood.

Vertical Punches against Jabs.

Baji Crushing Force against Bleeding Elbows.

The Eight Great Vajra Postures against Muay Thai Four-Stage Kicking Techniques.

The figures of both sides flickered, fists and feet clashing, creating bursts of wind-breaking sounds.

Chen Yuhao suddenly lunged forward, throwing a punch so hard the air seemed to shatter. Yang Bai responded quickly, dodging to the side and throwing a kick in one smooth motion. Their moves were continuous, offense and defense switching rapidly in an exceptionally intense scene.

Both radiated a majestic aura, like two lions locked in combat. Every movement was full of power, and every collision of limbs brought a massive sound, as if they could shatter the entire football field.

As time passed minute by minute, the battle gradually heated up.

Yang Bai caught an opening, his feet shattering the ground as he delivered a swift and fierce straight punch aimed directly at Chen Yuhao's face.

Chen Yuhao smiled slightly and didn't even dodge in the face of this attack.

“Boom!”

“Crack!”

A wind-breaking sound rang out, accompanied by the crisp sound of bone fracturing.

Chen Yuhao stood his ground, his face full of mockery.

“Did you know? The hardest parts of the human body are the forehead, elbows, knees, and shins. You actually dared to hit a forehead with your fist.”

A stream of blood slowly flowed down; Yang Bai's fist had been split open by the impact against the bone, and blood spurted out.

“Ha~”

“He-ah!”

Yang Bai stepped forward, turning his fist into an elbow strike, a crane-like cry escaping his mouth.

Chen Yuhao's smile froze. He felt the surrounding scenery receding rapidly; the sharp pain from his chest prevented him from reacting in time.

He then tumbled several times across the ground, landing in a pathetic heap.

Yang Bai panted heavily and said coldly, “You're right, the elbow is indeed the fiercest.”

Chen Yuhao performed a kip-up to spring back to his feet. The dragon armor on his chest had been shattered, and fragments mixed with flesh were embedded deep within his chest.

Chen Yuhao coughed up some clotted blood. The sunken area of his chest rapidly rose back up, and the dragon armor fragments were squeezed out, falling to the ground.

“You really deserve to die. I’ve decided, I’m going to kill you directly,” Chen Yuhao said viciously, as endless dark magic power erupted from his body.

Green spiritual energy surged over Yang Bai's body. His severely dislocated bones were quickly snapping back into place, and the various wounds on his body were healing.

“Playtime is over,” Yang Bai said seriously.

Majestic white spiritual energy collided with terrifying black magic power.

Chen Yuhao spread his wings and, carrying destructive magic power, rushed toward Yang Bai. The latter summoned several giant vines with one hand to bind him.

But this kind of attack was nothing to Chen Yuhao.

The two clashed again, but this time it wasn't a contest of fist techniques, but a battle between dragon claws of destructive fire and an unpredictable vine wooden staff.

Yang Bai used spiritual energy to condense the vines into a long staff that could be rapidly repaired even if damaged.

He used the staff's fierce strikes and reach to fight Chen Yuhao's flaming dragon claws while maintaining enough distance to keep himself out of reach.

Faced with Yang Bai's jumping overhead strike, Chen Yuhao subconsciously raised his arm to block.

When the vine staff hit Chen Yuhao's arm, the front section of the staff rapidly detached, turning the long staff into a three-section staff. The staff head struck heavily against Chen Yuhao's crown.

This strike hit the Baihui Acupoint on Chen Yuhao's crown. Even though he had practiced Muay Thai, receiving a heavy blow there left him dazed for a second or two.

Before Chen Yuhao could recover, the vine staff instantly softened, turning into a whip that bound his arm.

Yang Bai pulled hard, forcing Chen Yuhao toward him. Chen Yuhao also snapped out of his daze, opening his large mouth to blast Yang Bai with a close-range Dragon Flame Breath.

Yang Bai gripped the wooden staff with his left hand and pulled a section of wood from the end with his right. That section broke in the middle, connected by a vine.

Which weapon has the highest explosive power in close-range combat?

The Nunchaku.

“Wataah!”

Yang Bai snapped his wrist, exploding with Inch-force. A strike landed on Chen Yuhao's chin, directly snapping his mouth shut.

“Holy... crap!”

Chen Yuhao's vagus nerve was haywire, and his eyes gradually went blank.

Yang Bai took another section of wood from the staff with his left hand. Two thick, heavy Nunchaku with terrifying barbs appeared in Yang Bai's hands.

Yang Bai charged his power for half a second, then exploded with Inch-force.

“Wataah! Tah! Tah! Tah! Tah!!!”

A rain-like barrage of attacks landed on Chen Yuhao's temples, eyes, throat, chin, nose, and other vulnerable spots.

Blood splattered everywhere as Chen Yuhao's face was beaten into a bloody mess.
