The audience below the stage cried out in surprise.
This Maruk was actually so ruthless! The intense pain from his left leg nearly swept over and nearly made Chu Nan faint. If not for the fact that he had experienced an even more terrifying and bone-deep pain than now after 36 times of damage and repair of his meridians last night, Chu Nan would definitely not be able to help but scream.
However, even so, he was still in so much pain that his entire body twitched. Large beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead and slid to the ground along his tightly furrowed eyebrows.
“I’ll ask again. Will you surrender? If you don’t, the next thing to break is your other leg.” Maruk’s extremely cold voice sounded from above.
Chu Nan barely endured the pain and opened his eyes to look at Maruk again with a bitter smile.
He had spent a lot of effort and even took a huge risk to make a bold attempt because he hoped that he could defeat his opponent and successfully enter the finals.
However, the huge difference in strength could not be made up in a short day.
Even if he had a powerful data ability, he could not overcome this.
In the beginning, he could still fight with Maruk.
However, when Maruk really became serious, the strength of a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist was fully displayed, and it completely suppressed him, causing him to have no strength to fight back.
In comparison, all his previous attempts were simply a joke!
Should he surrender?
“Hey, Chu Nan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and surrender! Could it be that you want to break another leg?” A loud shout suddenly sounded from below the stage, attracting the gazes of everyone.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall fatty riding on the shoulder of another person shouting at Chu Nan on the stage.
“Stop f*cking persevering for some bullshit honor! It’s not anyone else who’s injured, it’s you! As for your pointless self-esteem, throw it to the side. That’s useless! Also… you’re already in such a state. Could it be that you still hope to enter the finals? Think carefully!” These words were not polite at all and did not give Chu Nan any face, causing everyone’s expressions to be strange. However, it seemed that this fatty was someone Chu Nan knew. Otherwise, he would not have spoken to him like this. Chu Nan tilted his head and looked in the direction of the voice before squeezing out a smile.
‘Dong Fang, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m unwilling to surrender. Of course, it’s not because of my so-called honor and self-esteem.’
Under such circumstances, anyone would choose to directly surrender because there was no possibility of defeating Maruk. However, Chu Nan was unwilling. Dong Fang did not know that Zheng Yuanlin had specially contacted Chu Nan yesterday, so he did not know that Zheng Yuanlin had already clearly expressed to Chu Nan that if he was unable to obtain the championship of the group below the age of 20, he would be unable to obtain the spot to enter Star Cloud Academy from Mu Yutong.
Chu Nan knew better than anyone that the reason why he was judged by the two Star-Grade Martial Artists, Mu Yutong and Norman, that it was almost impossible for him to even become a Void Break Martial Artist in the future was because he could not build a sufficient foundation before he became an adult.
However, the reason why he could not build a sufficient foundation was because Chu Nan did not obtain a good martial arts inheritance from a young age like Luo Li.
This situation had been like this when he was young, and it was almost impossible to change it in the future.
If he was not judged by the two Star-Grade Martial Artists as having limited growth in the future, then with his outstanding performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition, he had hope of being taken in by those powerful martial artists. He could even be taken in as a disciple and obtain a powerful martial arts inheritance. He could rely on this to grow and become a true powerful martial artist.
However, now, the two Star-Grade Martial Artists had publicly judged Chu Nan’s future in front of everyone. It was equivalent to announcing his death sentence, causing all the martial artists who praised him to shake their heads and sigh.
It could be said that the judgment of the two Star-Grade Martial Artists nearly completely blocked all of Chu Nan’s path to becoming a powerful martial artist.
However, Chu Nan did not want to give up.
The two Star-Grade Martial Artists did not know that he had a powerful data ability that was completely different from other martial artists, and it was impossible for them to believe that Chu Nan had this ability.
Therefore, they determined that he would not become a powerful martial artist.
However, Chu Nan knew that with this special ability, his strength had already soared in a short period of time.
This meant that it was not impossible for him to become a powerful martial artist in the future.
However, if he wanted to become a powerful martial artist, it was naturally impossible to rely on his data ability. Obtaining a better martial technique inheritance was even more important.
Since he could not obtain the martial technique inheritance through other methods, Chu Nan could only grasp the only chance to enter Star Cloud Academy.
If he chose to surrender at this moment, it meant that he could not enter the finals, meaning that his only chance would disappear.
“Hey, kid, I’ll count to five. If you still don’t surrender, your other leg will be gone.” Maruk’s cold voice sounded and interrupted Chu Nan’s thoughts.
Chu Nan turned around and glanced at him. Was it impossible to win?
No, there was still a chance. “Let me up.”
“Hmph.”
Maruk did not continue to force him. Instead, he took a step back and watched as Chu Nan slowly got up. Chu Nan did not care about the pain that was everywhere in his body, let alone the intense pain coming from his left arm and leg. Instead, he focused all his attention on maintaining the high-frequency vibration of his Internal Breath in his body and tried his best to recover the damaged meridians.
After sitting up, he deliberately rested for a while. Then, he propped himself up with his right hand and used his waist to slowly turn from sitting to squatting.
After stopping for a while, he slowly stood up with only his right leg swaying. When he finally stood up again, the audience discovered that Chu Nan’s left arm was also hanging by his side and swayed weakly.
However, he was directly interrupted in the first strike after Maruk became serious.
The current Chu Nan’s left arm and left leg had been broken, and he could only barely stand with his right leg. His entire body was covered in dazzling blood, but his face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss. His body swayed, and he looked miserable as if he was heavily injured and could collapse at any moment.
Could such a Chu Nan still request him to continue fighting? Looking at Chu Nan looking at Maruk, the audience of the Earth Federation had dejected expressions.
Next, Chu Nan would probably choose to surrender.
However, what could they blame Chu Nan for?
In the end, he was only an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. It was already a miracle that he could enter the semi-finals. Now, it was simply impossible for him to defeat a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist like Maruk.
Moreover, he had already worked very hard, forcing Maruk to show his full strength for the first time and even injure him once.
This performance was already worthy of praise.
Although it was really shameful to choose to surrender, he was inferior to others and could do nothing about it.
