Maruk waited for a while and chuckled when he saw that Chu Nan did not have the intention to attack.
“I originally wanted to make it easy for you, but since you don’t appreciate my kindness, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Maruk tapped his feet and his body suddenly disappeared from the spot. The audience below the stage were shocked. They did not even see Maruk’s actions clearly.
Bang!
Only after a muffled sound did everyone focus their gazes on Chu Nan.
Chu Nan’s body was already in midair and he was flying back when Maruk appeared where he was just now.
From this change, the two of them had actually exchanged blows just now.
The audience was shocked.
Maruk’s strength was indeed clearly superior to other participating martial artists below the age of 20. As soon as the battle began, he had already displayed such shocking speed and strength and actually sent Chu Nan flying. Chu Nan’s body twisted in the air and landed on the ground. However, he staggered a few steps back before barely stabilizing himself and standing again.
He looked up at the distant Maruk, and his expression became even more serious.
This guy indeed had the strength of a third-stage Internal Breath Realm!
Although the attack earlier was clearly a test, regardless of speed or strength, it was comparable to Enrico’s yesterday, causing Chu Nan to not even have the time to dodge. Chu Nan shook his left hand that had turned numb from blocking Maruk’s attack and confirmed again.
Indeed, one could not be careless or wishful thinking when dealing with this guy.
He had actually been quite careful just now and had already completed his Second Revolution Internal Breath before Maruk attacked.
However, when the power of Maruk’s attack was extremely strong, even if Chu Nan immediately injected his Second Revolution Internal Breath into his palm, he was unable to completely block the powerful force on Maruk’s fist, causing him to be sent flying by this punch. Only then could he completely reduce the force.
If Maruk directly pursued him, Chu Nan would already be at a huge disadvantage.
Fortunately, this guy had clearly underestimated his opponent. After testing him once, he did not continue to pursue and gave Chu Nan time to adjust his breathing.
Maruk looked at Chu Nan and similarly revealed a trace of surprise.
Although that strike just now was indeed only a test, Maruk’s punch already had a powerful Internal Breath attached to it. It could be said that he had used at least half his strength.
He originally thought that Chu Nan was only an Overlord Body Martial Artist and that this punch was enough to defeat him.
However, he did not expect Chu Nan to block it.
He did not use much strength in this punch, so it was not too surprising that Chu Nan could endure it. What surprised him was that when he attacked earlier, he had already increased his speed by at least 80%. Chu Nan was actually able to react immediately and block this attack.
One had to know that he had always been known for his speed among his fellow disciples.
In the Sormida Star System of the Kingdom of Kexley that his master was in, he had even obtained the title of “Crimson Tornado” among the young martial artists. “Very good.” Maruk nodded lightly. “I originally thought that you were too weak and that there was no meaning in letting this competition other than torturing you. Now, it seems that you can still bring me some other fun.”
When he heard this, Chu Nan did not hesitate to circulate his Internal Breath with all his might and instantly completed the Third Revolution Internal Breath.
As expected, just as Maruk finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the spot again.
In the next moment, he had already broken through the distance of more than ten meters between the two of them. He instantly arrived in front of Chu Nan and threw a punch.
Unlike before, Chu Nan was already prepared this time. The moment Maruk attacked, he had already seen the precise data of all the details of his actions and instantly determined the trajectory of his actions.
Bang!
Chu Nan threw a punch, but it landed on Maruk’s chest first.
Maruk took a few steps back continuously. His body swayed, and he felt a wave of annoyance in his chest, causing his breathing to become slightly unstable.
He was shocked. He did not take Chu Nan’s counterattack seriously and did not dodge at all. However, he did not expect that there was a terrifying force that far exceeded his expectations hidden in this punch and he was almost injured. “You…”
As soon as he spat out this word, Chu Nan took the opportunity to take a step forward and threw another punch. Maruk did not dare to be arrogant anymore. His face sank and he raised his left hand to block Chu Nan’s attack. He slapped his right palm and counterattacked. However, Chu Nan flipped his wrist and gently avoided Maruk’s left hand that was blocking him. His fist aimed at the vital part of his lower abdomen.
Maruk frowned and immediately determined that if he continued to maintain the current situation, Chu Nan’s punch would definitely hit him first.
If it was in the past, he would not have taken Chu Nan’s punch seriously. It was fine even if he took it head-on.
However, the terrifying force contained in Chu Nan’s punch earlier forced Maruk to be wary. A thought flashed through his mind and he was forced to take a step back to dodge the punch. At the same time, he retracted his right hand and grabbed Chu Nan’s right fist.
Just as Maruk reacted, the force of Chu Nan’s fist changed again. His right fist was slightly retracted, and the tip of his right foot stepped out gently. His body spun half a circle, and his left fist was already spat out from his waist, aimed at the gap in the right waist. This time, he aimed at Maruk’s weak point, forcing him to change his move to defend again.
However, as soon as he changed his move, Chu Nan acted as if he had foreseen this and immediately changed his move to attack the vital point revealed on the other side.
The two of them exchanged blows. In an instant, they had already exchanged dozens of times, but not once did their fists and feet collide. It looked abnormally strange.
However, in the eyes of the audience, it was obvious that Chu Nan was the one taking the initiative. On the other hand, Maruk was forced by Chu Nan to change his moves every time and appeared extremely passive. The Earth Federation audience immediately became excited.
Originally, they did not have much hope for Chu Nan to win this competition. They only thought that he could last for a period of time under Maruk’s attacks.
However, he did not expect that Chu Nan would counterattack and suppress Maruk, causing him to appear a little miserable.
“Chu Nan, you can do it!”
“All the best! Fight well! Kill this guy from Kexley!”
“Kill him! We must enter the finals!”
The cheers of the audience around the arena passed through the live broadcast equipment and entered the ears of Rengal, who was in the live broadcast of the Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel. However, it did not make his expression any better. Instead, it became even gloomier.
He was not one of those ordinary audiences who only knew a little about martial arts or even knew nothing about it. They were purely here to watch the fun.
With his powerful strength and vision as a second-stage Heaven Control Realm Martial Artist, he could see the actual situation on the field with a glance.
On the surface, it seemed that Chu Nan was suppressing Maruk, but in reality, what he did was simply futile.
“In less than two minutes, Chu Nan will be defeated.”
