Chapter 194: Please Teach Me
The first arena of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall was filled with students in the uniform of the martial arts academy.
Everyone glared at Chu Nan who was standing in the middle of the venue. The atmosphere was silent and oppressive.
This guy actually dared to challenge the academy!
He was too arrogant!
He simply did not take them seriously!
Apart from anger, many people looked at Chu Nan with even more complicated emotions.
Although Chu Nan’s performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition was already shocking enough, the standard he displayed at that time was only that of an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. No matter how powerful he was, it was still abnormally difficult for him to defeat a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist like Maruk.
However, the last time Chu Nan came here to participate in the initial assessment, he seemed to have easily defeated Brax, a fourth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist. Clearly, his strength had increased greatly compared to the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition.
Now that nearly half a month had passed since the initial assessment, his strength had probably increased again. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to come and challenge their martial arts hall so arrogantly.
How could this guy… have such an exaggerated speed of growth?
Could this be the reason why he was praised by Supremacy Mu Yutong in public? Such a person had actually felt pity for his powerful martial arts talent.
When they recalled that Supremacy Mu Yutong and Supremacy Norman from the Phezzan Autonomous Region said that it was almost impossible for Chu Nan to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future, everyone felt relieved.
No matter how talented this guy was, he would at most be a fifth-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist in the future. There was no need to worry too much.
However, when they thought of this, everyone felt strange.
This guy clearly could not break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate in the future, so why did he continue to work so hard?
Apart from applying to Star Cloud Academy, he even came here to challenge them?
What was the use to him?
Could it be that he was still not convinced by the judgment of the two Star-Grade Martial Artists?
Everyone looked at Chu Nan, not knowing if they should be angry, feel pity for him, or praise him for not giving up hope in such a hopeless situation…
On the other hand, Chu Nan, who was standing in the middle of the venue, had a calm smile on his face. There was no other emotion on his face and he looked calm.
After a while, an academy of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall could not help but jump out of the crowd.
“Heh, Chu Nan, Senior Brother Xue will only be here in a while. Why don’t I spar with you first?”
Chu Nan glanced at the burly and rough-looking male student and nodded with a smile.
“Alright.”
Then, he took a step back and bowed before saying seriously, “I’m Chu Nan, please enlighten me.”
Seeing that Chu Nan maintained his etiquette, the male student nodded and also took a step back before bowing.
“I’m Zhou Yinglong, please enlighten me.”
After bowing, the two of them assumed a posture at the same time. Then, they looked at each other. As soon as their gazes met, they tapped their feet and rushed out.
Chu Nan threw a punch and Zhou Yinglong and the other students frowned.
This was because his punch looked loose and casual, and his movement technique was clearly uncoordinated. No matter how one looked at it, it was not much stronger than a casual punch from an outsider.
However, Zhou Yinglong and the surrounding students did not dare to underestimate this punch.
The last time Chu Nan fought with Brax, he had also used this fist technique that was no different from an outsider. However, he could suddenly change his move at the most critical moment every time, forcing a fourth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist like Brax to only deal with it carefully and not gain any advantage.
As expected, when Zhou Yinglong slapped out and aimed at the flaw in Chu Nan’s punch, his body only sank slightly. With a flip of his wrist, this punch instantly became as fast as the wind. The previous flaw disappeared in the blink of an eye and forced Zhou Yinglong to retreat.
Slap!
Chu Nan’s punch struck Zhou Yinglong’s palm, but he was surprised to discover that Chu Nan’s punch did not have much strength. Not to mention sending him flying like he did after defeating Brax, it did not even affect him at all.
In less than a blink of an eye, Zhou Yinglong immediately grabbed this opportunity. He wrapped his palm and completely grabbed Chu Nan’s fist. His other arm stretched out from his waist and slapped again.
However, Chu Nan seemed to have been prepared. He exerted strength with his feet and took a step to the left, avoiding Zhou Yinglong’s palm. At the same time, he clenched his left fist and turned his body in the direction of the movement before punching Zhou Yinglong again.
Zhou Yinglong was considered an outstanding disciple in the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall. Otherwise, he would not have been the first to challenge Chu Nan.
At this moment, when he saw Chu Nan change his move quickly, he did not panic at all. His arm shook and a powerful Internal Breath stretched out from the right hand that grabbed Chu Nan and directly attacked his right fist. At the same time, he raised his right leg from the left and kicked the vital part of his lower body.
Chu Nan was slightly shocked. He did not expect Zhou Yinglong’s reaction to be so fast and precise. This kick happened to kick the largest gap in his lower body, forcing him to save him.
Moreover, at this moment, he had already felt the powerful Internal Breath coming from Zhou Yinglong’s hand on his right fist, causing him to have to divert his attention to deal with it. Naturally, he could not adjust his body in time to counterattack.
Countless data floated through his mind and Chu Nan instantly determined the development of the situation. He could only frown and float back.
Borrowing the force that contained a powerful Internal Breath from Zhou Yinglong’s hand, Chu Nan retreated more than ten meters away. He looked at Zhou Yinglong from afar and frowned as if he had fallen into thought.
Seeing him like this, the surrounding students of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall shouted.
“Heh, Chu Nan, aren’t you very arrogant? Why are you retreating after a few moves?”
“That’s right. You can’t even take a single move from Senior Brother Zhou, and you dare to challenge us here? What a joke!”
“Haha, I thought this guy was very powerful, but it turns out that he’s only so-so.”
“That’s right, that’s right. From the looks of it, it’s obvious that Brax is too weak.”
“Haha…”
…
Hearing the mockery of the surrounding students, Zhou Yinglong frowned.
The surrounding students could not tell, but he, who was actually fighting Chu Nan, could sense it extremely clearly.
Although his battle with Chu Nan was short, Zhou Yinglong had prepared countless backup plans every time they fought. He had almost calculated all of Chu Nan’s changes. As long as he reacted accordingly, he could continuously fight and make Chu Nan fall into a passive state bit by bit. In the end, he would be completely at a disadvantage and be completely suppressed.
However, Chu Nan’s every response was extremely precise. Moreover, he always chose the best method to deal with it, causing it to be very difficult to completely implement the change in strategy he had prepared.
Especially when he kicked out the last time, the Internal Breath in his body had already been completely circulated. He had thought of all his next actions, but Chu Nan chose to retreat so far at this moment.
Although this looked a little miserable, it completely stopped Zhou Yinglong’s counterattack.
Zhou Yinglong was certain that if he had directly chased after him earlier, he would definitely have suffered Chu Nan’s powerful counterattack and be at a disadvantage. Therefore, he stood on the spot and watched as Chu Nan retreated.
Moreover, putting aside the confrontation of these external martial techniques, the most important thing was that Chu Nan had not used his Internal Breath in the short battle just now!
What was this guy thinking?
