I Break through Crazily

”Alright!”

Hearing Wang Zongyao’s command, Tang Yi nodded and prepared to jump onto the arena stage.

Just then, Mu Xianling, who had already lost her match, suddenly asked from the sidelines, ”Tang Yi, are you confident you can beat that Fang Tian?”

Tang Yi smiled and replied, ”Why would I be going up there if I wasn’t?”

”Uh... You... good luck.”

Tang Yi’s reply made Mu Xianling extremely hesitant. After struggling for a long moment, she finally managed to squeeze out two words: ”good luck.”

Right now, she was torn. She wanted Tang Yi to win, but at the same time, she didn’t.

If Tang Yi won, it would save some face for Fengyue City, and she’d be able to vent her own frustration.

But if Tang Yi beat Fang Tian, wouldn’t that prove he was stronger than her?

And their bet...

The thought of being Tang Yi’s servant for three years left Mu Xianling feeling incredibly conflicted...

”Hm?” Tang Yi paused, surprised that Mu Xianling would wish him luck. He nodded and said, ”I will.”

With that, he paid no mind to Mu Xianling’s reaction, rose to his feet, and leaped onto the arena stage. He landed across from Fang Tian, the two facing each other from a distance.

”I thought you guys said your strongest was that Fan Wei? Even he lost, so why haven’t you surrendered yet?”

”That’s right! Even your strongest candidate lost to our Fang Tian. What’s the point of you coming up here?”

”Just give up already. Don’t prolong this pointless struggle.”

”We called you trash, and you wouldn’t admit it. Well, what about now? Haven’t you lost four matches already? It makes no difference whether you fight this fifth match or not. The result will be the same—a loss.”

”Those dogs from Fengyue City were barking pretty loudly earlier. Ever since that Fan Wei lost, they’ve gone completely quiet.”

”...”

As Tang Yi took the stage, the people from Wind Rain City began to jeer, their faces all twisted in mockery.

Meanwhile, the citizens of Fengyue City heard the taunts from Wind Rain City. No matter how upset they were, they remained silent.

They no longer retaliated with fierce words as they had before. Every one of them looked utterly dejected.

”So, you’re Fengyue City’s final ace in the hole? I wonder, are you stronger or weaker than that Fan Wei from before?”

Fang Tian said to Tang Yi with a broad smile as he watched him step onto the stage.

Having already won four consecutive matches, Fang Tian was the picture of composure, though a hint of smug self-satisfaction peeked through.

Even though there were others in Wind Rain City stronger than him, at this moment, standing on the stage, he held everyone in contempt. It was his time to shine.

As for Tang Yi, who had just entered the arena, Fang Tian didn’t even give him a second glance.

”You want to know how strong I am? Why don’t you come and find out?”

Tang Yi said nonchalantly.

The composure on his face was even greater than Fang Tian’s.

If Fang Tian disregarded Tang Yi, then Tang Yi disregarded Fang Tian even more.

’A Three-star Battle Grandmaster?’

’What a joke! I’m a Battle King!’

”Oh? Is that so? Fine! Let me see just what kind of person Fengyue City’s final candidate is! And while we’re at it... let’s end this boring tournament!”

As Fang Tian spoke, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. With a sudden movement, he charged swiftly toward Tang Yi.

He didn’t bother changing tactics, sticking to his old routine.

One-Character Shock!

This was the move that had defeated Yuan Qiong, Tang Piaomiao, and Mu Xianling. Even Fan Wei, who had met it head-on, suffered considerable injuries. This was a testament to the sheer power of the One-Character Shock.

WHOOSH!

Fang Tian’s figure blurred as he shot toward Tang Yi in a straight line.

Facing Fang Tian’s ferocious attack, and already knowing its power, logic dictated that Tang Yi should do as Tang Piaomiao had. He should first circle to Fang Tian’s flank and then counter-attack. That was the optimal strategy, the easiest path to victory.

But Tang Yi did no such thing.

He stood his ground, just like Fan Wei had, neither dodging nor evading. It looked as if he intended to clash head-on with Fang Tian.

’Hmph! Another conceited fool,’ Fang Tian thought with disdain.

Fang Tian knew better than anyone how powerful his One-Character Shock was. Even the strongest candidate from Wind Rain City had praised its might, a testament to its incredible force.

Its only flaw, however, was that it was a linear attack. Once launched, its trajectory could not be altered. This was its greatest weakness.

’But my opponent clearly knows about this weakness, yet he still wants to meet me head-on. Is he an idiot?’

’Is it confidence or arrogance?’

’What kind of pride is driving him to make such a suicidal choice?’

Of course, if his opponent wanted to die, Fang Tian was more than happy to oblige. Why would he stop him?

”He actually wants to meet it head-on and die? Does he think he’s me? Heh. Trash will always be trash. Even if he’s gained some strength, he can’t change his worthless nature.”

In the distance, Fan Wei had regained consciousness after receiving medical treatment, but the wound on his arm still left him looking listless and weak.

He was now enduring the pain to watch Tang Yi’s match. When he saw that Tang Yi was also refusing to dodge, choosing to meet Fang Tian’s One-Character Shock head-on just as he had, a disdainful sneer crossed his face.

When he had clashed with Fang Tian’s move, they had both retreated five steps, making it seem like an even match. However, Fan Wei knew that he had actually lost that exchange.

In a clash between Profound Tier Martial Techniques, the power of Fang Tian’s technique had been superior.

Fan Wei believed that if even he couldn’t withstand that move, Tang Yi attempting to do the same was simply courting death.

He had already turned his head away, unwilling to watch the rest of the match. He was certain Tang Yi was doomed to fail.

But at that exact moment, the unexpected happened.

Just as Fang Tian’s fist was about to land, Tang Yi threw a punch of his own, and their fists collided.

BOOM!

A deafening crack echoed out as a powerful shockwave erupted from the point of impact, spreading in all directions with Fang Tian and Tang Yi at its epicenter.

And then, Fang Tian’s body shuddered! Before everyone’s stunned eyes, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward!

He stumbled back dozens of steps, covering more than ten meters before barely managing to stop himself at the very edge of the stage.

Moreover, the flesh on his fist was split open and mangled, dripping with blood.

And Tang Yi?

He hadn’t budged a single inch. The expression on his face was unchanged.

He now stood with his arms crossed, a faint, mocking smile on his lips as he gazed at Fang Tian. He looked completely relaxed, as if nothing had happened at all.

This...

’Tang Yi is fine, but Fang Tian is injured?’

In the previous four matches, Fang Tian had only been hit by a single punch from Tang Piaomiao, yet he had remained completely unscathed. No one had managed to inflict even the slightest injury on him.

And now...

After using his One-Character Shock to clash head-on with Tang Yi, not only had he failed to harm his opponent, but he was the one who ended up injured!

How was this possible?!
