Chapter 274: A Mere Dog
From a rational point of view, Chu Nan’s best choice was to retreat and avoid them without continuing to fight.
Rudy Karl was able to closely follow Feng Mingxi to the second place a few days ago and even complete the counterattack more than two hours ago. Even with the help of his companions, his strength was definitely very powerful.
Just from his casual posture, it could be seen that his foundation was solid and his martial technique was proficient. He was definitely not to be trifled with.
If Chu Nan insisted on fighting him here, not to mention whether he could win, he would definitely waste a large amount of time. In the situation where he should race against time to hunt ferocious beasts to increase his points, it was undoubtedly extremely inefficient and the worst choice.
However, Chu Nan glanced at the young man who had just been helped up by his companion in the distance. When he saw him sneering at him with a proud expression, anger arose in his heart and he was completely unwilling to retreat.
“Alright, you already know my name. Come on.”
Chu Nan sneered. Seeing that Rudy Karl was still in a posture and did not seem to plan to attack first, he stepped forward and slapped him.
This palm strike seemed ordinary, its speed was not fast, and its momentum was extremely ordinary. However, Rudy Karl frowned and could not help but exclaim in surprise.
He actually could not see any flaws in Chu Nan’s palm!
All the parts of Chu Nan’s body seemed to have perfectly fused into this palm. His entire body maintained an abnormally perfect posture that he could exert strength at any time.
Rudy Karl was certain that no matter what he did, Chu Nan would immediately make the best change, preventing him from finding any flaws.
He had cultivated martial techniques for so many years, but he had only seen such a nearly perfect move from his master, a powerful fifth-stage Heaven Control Realm expert!
As for Chu Nan, he was only less than 20 years old. Logically speaking, he was only an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist!
However, Rudy Karl had a powerful teacher after all. When he saw this unexpected situation, he was only slightly surprised, but he quickly recovered his calm. He stretched out his right arm, raised his right index and middle fingers, and pointed at Chu Nan.
His entire action was extremely smooth and natural like a flowing river. There was no commotion. His speed did not look fast, but as soon as he pointed out, he naturally arrived in front of Chu Nan.
A-rank cultivation method, Stream Mountain Finger!
Seeing that he had used this master’s ultimate technique as soon as he attacked, the companions beside him were shocked.
He was only dealing with an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist like Chu Nan. Did he have to use his ultimate move right from the beginning…
The moment he pointed out, Chu Nan had already taken in all the data in his body and relied on his powerful data ability to instantly determine the trajectory of his next move.
Although the movements of this Stream Mountain Finger were indeed exquisite, in Chu Nan’s eyes, it was only the one that he had found from countless possible finger trajectories.
When Rudy Karl’s finger arrived in front of him, Chu Nan had already tilted his head in advance and his body tilted slightly to the side. The palm strike he slapped out still remained unchanged. While preparing to dodge Rudy Karl’s finger, he continued to attack.
However, just as he moved, Chu Nan suddenly felt that the airflow in the surrounding space was different. He hurriedly kicked his feet and forcefully moved to the left.
“Tsk!”
A sound that seemed to have torn through silk sounded beside his ear. When Rudy Karl stabbed out, it actually left a black mark in the air, as if the space had been pierced by this finger.
Chu Nan was immediately shocked.
There was no doubt that a powerful spatial energy had already been condensed on this finger, so when it stabbed out, even the space changed correspondingly.
For him to be able to reach the top now, he naturally had the standard of a fifth-stage Internal Martial Artist.
From this finger, it was obvious that he had already grasped a portion of the use of spatial energy. He should be at the threshold of breaking through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate. The next step was to break through and become a powerful Void Break Martial Artist.
Seeing Chu Nan’s surprised expression, the young man who was sent flying earlier smiled proudly.
“Heh, Chu Nan, did you see how powerful Rudy Karl is? If you’re willing to kneel down and apologize to me, I’ll forgive you and ask him to let you leave. If you’re unwilling, you’ll be heavily injured in a while and won’t even be able to complete the test. Think about the consequences yourself, haha…”
Chu Nan frowned and glanced at him before sneering, “A dog relying on its master’s strength! If you have the guts, come up and beat me. Then, I’ll do whatever you want. If you can’t, shut up!”
The young man was furious. He took a step forward but forcefully stopped.
Earlier, he had been sent flying by Chu Nan’s punch and did not even have the strength to counterattack. It could be seen that his strength was undoubtedly much inferior to Chu Nan.
He was not confident in fighting Chu Nan alone.
His face flickered, and his expression changed several times. In the end, he could only sneer, “In a while, I’ll see how you can be stubborn after being beaten down.”
Chu Nan shook his head and could not be bothered to pay attention to him before looking at Rudy Karl again.
When that young man spoke just now, he did not continue to attack. Now that he saw Chu Nan looking over, he smiled and said, “What? You’re still unwilling to admit defeat? It seems that the pressure I gave you was not enough.”

After saying that, he pointed again.
When he saw this finger arrive, Chu Nan did not dodge like before. Instead, he slapped it.
Rudy Karl was a little surprised by Chu Nan’s reaction, but his actions did not change and he bluntly struck his palm.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was clearly only two fingers that touched the other palm, but it emitted a series of muffled sounds, as if something had continuously broken.
A circle of air waves that were clearly shaken erupted at the place where Chu Nan’s palm and Rudy Karl’s fingers touched. Then, it emitted fine black spider web-like cracks as if space had been torn.
Rudy Karl did not move, but Chu Nan took a few steps back before barely stopping.
Chu Nan frowned and glanced at his palm. He discovered that it had already turned into a bloody mess. It was because he had not completely offset all the force on Rudy Karl’s finger earlier, causing the muscles on his palm to be damaged.
However, this was only a small injury that he could completely ignore now.
He urged his Internal Breath to condense in his palm and quickly adjusted it to a high-frequency vibration state. The almost tattered flesh on his palm quickly healed.
On the other hand, Rudy Karl looked at Chu Nan in surprise and disbelief.
After a long time, he asked, “Chu Nan, you… you actually comprehended spatial energy?”
