25: Chapter 25 King of Victory

"Good, I admire someone with such courage. Make your Move." Xiao Yuchen did not stand on ceremony and struck out with a palm directly.

Seeing this, the World King also threw a punch, colliding with Xiao Yuchen's massive palm of Spiritual Qi.

Boom!

After the explosive sound, a fierce wind raged, forcing the surrounding people to retreat repeatedly.

"So strong. Is this the power of a Martial Artist? If that attack just now had landed on us, we would surely have died without a doubt."

"Who do you think will win? This concerns our future."

"Don't worry blindly. This is a good thing for us. Regardless of who wins, both of them will become members of the Black Dragon Society."

"That's right, why didn't I think of that? In the future, with two Mid-stage Hua Jin Martial Artists guarding the Black Dragon Society, which single Family in Jiangcheng would dare to oppose the Black Dragon Society?"

After that palm strike, Xiao Yuchen changed his strategy. If he wanted to become stronger, he had to utilize the advantage of his Energy Absorption Technique and endure with his body.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuchen allowed himself to be suppressed for the rest of the fight. Whether the World King launched long-range attacks or close-quarters combat, Xiao Yuchen would use his Move to block a portion, while the rest was absorbed by his body.

This created a false impression that Xiao Yuchen simply couldn't withstand the World King's attacks and was being suppressed the entire time. It was estimated that he would lose soon.

"I told you that kid wouldn't make it. He's still too young; how could he possibly be a match for the World King?"

"Indeed. Apart from the first Move where they were evenly matched, that kid has been suppressed ever since."

"That's already very impressive. At least he can take so many Moves from the World King. If it were us, we probably wouldn't be able to take even one."

At the beginning, the World King thought the same. He felt that Xiao Yuchen was just boasting and that his own strength barely reached the level of Mid-stage Hua Jin.

However, after trading dozens of Moves, the World King noticed something unusual, because no matter how he attacked, the opponent seemed able to take it.

Even though the opponent had been hit by so many attacks, his combat power and stamina didn't seem to decrease at all; instead, he was becoming more energetic.

On his side, although he hadn't been hit once, he had expended a huge amount of stamina from throwing so many Moves, which caused his attack speed to slow down.

Xiao Yuchen wanted to use this method to consume the World King's stamina. However, to his pleasant surprise, after enduring dozens of attacks from the World King, he actually achieved a Breakthrough, reaching the 6th layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.

After reaching the 6th layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, his strength should be able to contend with Late Stage Hua Jin or even Great Perfection. Once he completed the challenge, he would receive another boost from the System. By then, he would have no rivals below Hua Jin, and he could even fight against a strong practitioner at the Early Stage of the Houtian Realm.

Since he had already advanced, Xiao Yuchen lost interest in continuing the fight.

"Out of respect for my opponent, I let you throw so many Moves. Now it's my turn to counterattack. I will use only one Move. After one Move, if you can still stand up, I will admit defeat and join the Black Dragon Society."

Xiao Yuchen spoke loudly, and everyone present heard him, but they felt he was saying this on purpose to save Face.

In the arena, only the World King was extremely vigilant. Xiao Yuchen's words just now had truly shocked him. Could it be that the opponent had really been playing with him the whole time and hadn't used much of his true strength?

"Good, then let's decide the winner in one Move."

This time, the World King held nothing back, unleashed his full strength, and then struck first with a palm.

If it were before, Xiao Yuchen would have had to deal with this palm seriously, but now he didn't need to, because if he used his full strength, the World King would likely be killed instantly.

Just as that palm was about to strike him, Xiao Yuchen also casually struck out with a palm.

Boom!

The two massive palms collided in the air. This time, Xiao Yuchen's massive palm of Spiritual Qi was no longer so fragile; instead, it shattered the World King's massive palm with an unstoppable momentum, and the remaining power slammed directly into the World King.

Pfft!

The World King spat out a mouthful of blood, then flew dozens of meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone even forgot to breathe. They never expected that it would be the World King who flew away. They didn't understand why Xiao Yuchen, who had been suppressed the whole time, had suddenly become so powerful. Could what that kid said earlier be true? Was he really just playing before?

Xiao Yuchen naturally wouldn't answer everyone's questions. Now that the winner had been decided, the Black Dragon Society would be his, Xiao Yuchen's, force from now on.

"I did hold back some of my power; he shouldn't be killed instantly, right?" Seeing that the World King remained motionless for a long time, Xiao Yuchen muttered to himself.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The World King coughed violently several times and struggled to stand up from the ground, but he simply couldn't do it.

"I lost. I didn't expect you to have held back your strength? In your eyes, am I just a clown?"

"Not exactly. You are already very impressive, it's just that you are a tiny, tiny bit behind me." Xiao Yuchen laughed.

"Good. With a boss like you, I am convinced. I believe that in your hands, the Black Dragon Society will become stronger and stronger, surpassing the top Families in the provincial capital or even Yanjing."

After trying for a long time, the World King finally stood up from the ground, then slowly looked at the crowd and said, "Why aren't you paying respects to the new World King?"

Hearing the World King's words, the people from the Golden Sand Gang were extremely excited. They didn't expect that their boss had really taken the time to subdue the Black Dragon Society. They had hit the jackpot this time. After all, their Golden Sand Gang was the first to surrender to Xiao Yuchen, and the benefits they would receive would definitely be more than other gangs.

"Greetings to the new World King." The crowd knelt down in unison, their attitudes extremely respectful.

"What new World King, old World King? Don't you think it's confusing? In the future, others will continue to call you World King. As for me, just call me God of Worlds. I will be taking in a few more World Kings in the future."

"Did you hear the God of Worlds? Why aren't you paying respects quickly?" The World King gave the order again.

"Greetings to the God of Worlds!" The crowd knelt and bowed again.

"Alright, you may all get up. Today's matter ends here. Everyone disperse. Brother Leopard and World King, you two stay for a moment."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, everyone left one after another, and finally only Brother Leopard and the World King remained.

"Give me your contact information so I can contact you in the future. By the way, what is your name? Isn't it awkward to always be called World King?"

The World King blushed and said, "My name is Li Xin."

"Hehe, are you Mingxin or Anxin? Your name and code name are both very interesting." Xiao Yuchen teased him on purpose.

"Mingxin? Anxin? What is that?" Li Xin looked confused.

"No way, don't you play games normally? The heroes in Honor of Kings. How about you? Do you know?" Xiao Yuchen looked at Brother Leopard again.

"I... I don't know." Brother Leopard replied embarrassedly.

"Damn, forget it, forget it. There's a generation gap between us. You guys go back. If there's anything, I'll contact you."

Xiao Yuchen really didn't want to waste any more breath on these two old guys, and he drove away, kicking up dust.

"Ding! Challenge completed. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one 5x Cultivation speed trial card and increasing your Cultivation Rank by one level. Additionally, it has been detected that the Host achieved a Breakthrough on your own. You are rewarded with three low-grade youth-preserving pills and three low-grade Qi-assisting pills. Do you wish to claim them?"
