139: If I can't beat them, I'll upgrade. I can't just let myself be taken advantage of, can I?

Bai Yuyan's high expectations.

Made Chen Yang feel ashamed and utterly mortified.

Sister Yan!

Although I am very strong.

I might not be able to defeat this damn pervert.

That guy practices evil arts.

He knows how to harvest yin!

Who knows how much primal yin he has absorbed from women.

This goes against the laws of nature!

"I... I'll try my best!"

Chen Yang's reply was clearly lacking confidence.

Bai Yuyan rolled her eyes.

She pulled him aside to a secluded spot.

"Did you grow all this muscle for nothing?"

"You can't even handle a skinny pole?"

"I feel like I could slap him to death!"

Her spirit was soaring.

She looked at Chen Yang, a little uncertain.

"Are you trying to throw the match?"

"I'm telling you, no matter what, you must win this round for me!"

Chen Yang suddenly asked.

"Sister Yan, if I win, what's my reward?"

Bai Yuyan smiled charmingly.

"What kind of reward do you want?"

Chen Yang chuckled mischievously.

His gaze subconsciously drifted toward her waist and hips.

Bai Yuyan's face flushed crimson.

She covered her backside.

"You... you wish!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Chen Yang's eyes.

"Sister Yan, aren't you being a bit stingy?"

"You won't even dance for me?"

Bai Yuyan was dumbfounded!

"Just now... that's what you meant?"

Chen Yang countered.

"What did you think?"

"Besides dancing, what else could I possibly ask you to..."

Suddenly, Chen Yang realized something.

He teased Bai Yuyan:

"Sister Yan, your thoughts aren't pure, are they!"

Bai Yuyan was furious from embarrassment.

She stomped her foot.

"If you don't beat Li Yao today, just wait until I get my hands on you!"

Chen Yang slapped his forehead.

"Oh heavens, trying to help out has gotten me into trouble!"

"No way!"

"If you're going to punish me, I also have to make a demand."

"If your dance doesn't satisfy me, I will definitely punish you."

Returning to the scene.

Almost everyone was pessimistic about Li Yao's chances.

Zhang Li had already begun complaining to Bai Yuntian.

"Brother Tian, asking them to compete in martial strength, isn't that putting Li Yao in a difficult spot?"

"He's a young master from a wealthy family who never lifts a finger; how could he possibly compare to Chen Yang, who came from the countryside?"

Bai Yuntian smiled profoundly.

"Don't underestimate them."

"I feel that neither of them is a simple character."

Originally.

Bai Yuzhu was also very worried about Li Yao.

Hearing her father say this.

She didn't speak up.

Only Li Yao was secretly chuckling to himself.

No one knew that he was a hidden master.

Although he usually had a large entourage.

He never needed to take action himself for anything.

When he occasionally took action.

It was always alone, in the capacity of a spy.

No one knew.

That he was an Advanced War General Level master.

Judging by appearances.

He could guess that Chen Yang had martial arts training.

But.

He was definitely far inferior compared to him.

He had absolute confidence in winning this fight!

Soon.

Everyone moved to the side of a small arena.

Bai Yuntian personally presided.

"Gentlemen, the competition officially begins."

Li Yao and Chen Yang stood facing each other.

Chen Yang was the first to strike.

A straight punch from the Combat Technique.

Shot toward Li Yao's face.

This pervert, this scum.

And a spy for the little devils.

Today, he must be beaten until his face is blooming with color.

Li Yao originally wanted to hide his strength.

And tease Chen Yang first.

But seeing the opponent's stance.

Anger flared in his heart.

He suddenly put force into his hand, delivering an identical straight punch.

Meeting force with force, he struck back.

"Bang!"

Chen Yang was instantly sent flying.

He slid five meters horizontally.

He nearly fell out of the arena boundary.

Before barely managing to land.

Fortunately, he timely executed the Heaven-Treading Steps.

He managed not to fall flat on his face!

Chen Yang was secretly startled.

This time.

If he didn't increase his strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to beat this guy.

"Upgrade Star Plucking Hand, Heart-Shattering Life-Taking!"

[Ding!]

[Detection shows the host name possesses 410 points.]

[200 points can be consumed to upgrade Heart-Shattering Life-Taking to the second realm: One Palm Shatters the Heart.]

[Proceed with upgrade?]

For the past period of time.

Chen Yang hadn't paid much attention to the point increase after utilizing intelligence.

He hadn't paid much attention.

Anyway, as long as the intelligence alerted him, he would use it as much as possible.

He wouldn't let go of a single point.

If he could spend 200 points to upgrade One Palm Pierces Stone to One Palm Shatters the Heart.

Its power would definitely increase significantly.

"Upgrade!"

Chen Yang issued the command without hesitation.

[Ding!]

["Heart-Shattering Life-Taking" upgraded to Level 3, Great Success state.]

[Reached the second realm: One Palm Shatters the Heart!]

[Current points remaining: 210 points.]

His whole body trembled.

Chen Yang's body underwent an inexplicable change.

Especially his hand skills, which saw a massive improvement.

He couldn't help himself.

He wanted to know the changes in his own strength.

[strength evaluation] Relying on the Star Plucking Hand and Heaven-Treading Steps, he can suppress an Advanced War General

... Seeing his own strength.

Changing from being able to contend with an Advanced War General to being able to suppress an Advanced War General.

Chen Yang was a little unsure.

Li Yao was at the peak strength of an Advanced War General.

Whether he could actually suppress him was truly uncertain.

Never mind.

He should fight first and worry about it later!

... Kick him while he's down!

Li Yao gained the upper hand with one punch and immediately pressed his advantage relentlessly.

He quickly stepped forward to catch up.

And fiercely pursued Chen Yang.

Bai Yuyan watched, dumbfounded!

Wasn't this Li Yao supposed to be a drunkard and a womanizer?

How could he be so powerful?

He wasn't a sickly weakling; he was clearly a killing machine!

Extremely ferocious!

Chen Yang won't be beaten to death by him, right?

Her palms were slick with sweat.

She stared intently at the battlefield.

The moment Chen Yang faltered.

She decided to immediately call a stop to the match.

She absolutely could not allow Li Yao to kill Chen Yang.

Zhang Li, on the other hand, was both shocked and delighted!

At first, she was worried.

But then she saw Li Yao display his mighty power.

Sending Chen Yang flying with a single punch.

She was so shocked she immediately stood up.

When Li Yao started chasing and attacking Chen Yang.

Zhang Li was overjoyed!

As long as Chen Yang was knocked down, Li Yao would win this round.

The entire competition.

Would then be considered a tie.

And Li Yao would still have hope of marrying Bai Yuyan.

Bai Yuzhu happily clapped and jumped.

Cheering loudly.

"Brother-in-law Li Yao, go!"

"Beat him to death!"
