Chapter 279: A Showdown Between Two Supreme Geniuses
Chapter 279: A Showdown Between Two Supreme Geniuses
"What the hell? What just happened at Ring 55?"
"I just blinked, and Captain Peach is gone?"
"Wait… that bald guy, isn't he President Chen's son?"
"Yeah, that's him!"
"But something's off! Wasn't Young Master Chen a fire-type ability user? What just happened? What kind of move was that? He just took down Captain America from that far away in an instant!"
"Some kind of illusion? It has to be a trick!"
"I heard Captain Qin joined the Martial University team… and Chen the Bald is there too. Man, I envy them."
…
Similar discussions erupted across the rooms.
Chen Ye had entered and exited the stage so fast that most people barely had time to react.
Meanwhile, inside Room 4145…
"That kid from Ring 55… that's President Chen's youngest son, right? He's got some real talent."
"Old Zhou, did you get a good look?"
"Too fast, couldn't see clearly… but it must be some ability we haven't seen before!"
"To deal such damage from that far away… the sheer power is unbelievable."
A group of middle-aged men engaged in an intense discussion.
They were all core members of the Ability Association, each at least a fifth-tier powerhouse. Their eyesight was exceptional, yet even they couldn't fully grasp what Chen Ye had just done.
Or rather, they understood it—but refused to believe it.
"President, what do you think?"
One of the officials turned to Ba Liming.
Ba Liming continued staring at the holographic screen without turning his head. His voice was calm but firm.
"It was fist wind."
"Fist wind?"
The room fell into stunned silence.
"That's… impossible!"
Someone gasped in disbelief.
Everyone else was equally shocked.
Fist wind was something they had all heard of—but none of them had ever imagined it could actually injure someone.
And that bald kid? He had just casually thrown a light punch, and the force of his fist wind had completely obliterated Captain America?
It was absurd!
Ba Liming didn't bother explaining further. He simply revealed another piece of information.
"The Beast King that appeared in Yanjiao, Beijing last time… it was scared away by him."
After all, memories from the secret realm couldn't be taken out.
It didn't matter if he shared it.
Hiss!!
Everyone in the room gasped sharply.
They had no reason to doubt the president's words.
But still…
None of them could comprehend how that bald kid could be so terrifying.
"President Chen's youngest son… he's only twenty this year, right? How can he be this strong?"
"Even the Beast King ran away from him? Just how terrifying is his strength?"
"Wasn't his hero talent supposed to be C-rank? How could… No, wait! Could it be that his talent isn't C-rank? Did the previous livestream get it wrong?"
The room buzzed with speculation.
No one was even watching the fights on the arena anymore.
Ba Liming's revelation had completely shaken them.
"Yes, his hero talent is S1." Ba Liming said calmly.
Another round of shocked gasps filled the room.
"S1?!"
"The legendary God-tier Talent?!"
"President Chen's son really pulled the wool over everyone's eyes!"
"So that's why Old Chen suddenly joined the Martial University team! It wasn't because of Captain Qin at all… He was after his own son!"
"Damn it! I almost thought Qin was trying to steal talent from our Association!"
"With this, isn't the championship already guaranteed for Martial University?"
At this moment, many people in the room felt their hearts racing.
This information was just too explosive.
Meanwhile, a few individuals who had close ties with President Chen began feeling deep regret.
If they had known that President Chen's son was this powerful, they should have pulled some strings to get into Martial University's team too!
This was a golden opportunity to grow stronger!
At that moment, Ba Liming suddenly stood up.
It was his turn to fight.
…
On Ring 15.
As soon as Ba Liming appeared, the American Captain across from him locked onto him with his blood-red eyes.
The next moment, the American Captain charged forward.
Ba Liming remained still and suddenly threw a punch into the air.
Whoosh!
A powerful gust tore through the air.
A strong burst of fist wind swept across the arena, but when it hit the American Captain, it only pushed him back a few steps.
It was nowhere near as devastating as Chen Ye's punch, which had obliterated the American Captain into dust.
Seeing this, Ba Liming sighed, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
He had already reached the peak of martial arts—the state of breaking through the void and achieving an indestructible body. Yet, what lay beyond this?
At that moment, the American Captain charged at him again.
Ba Liming's expression remained calm as he raised his palm.
Regretful Dragon Roar!
A deafening dragon's cry echoed through the arena.
A massive golden energy dragon materialized and lunged at the American Captain, completely annihilating him!
Ba Liming won effortlessly!
…
Inside Room 857.
Seeing this, Chen Ye was dumbfounded.
Back when he scared off the Monkey King, he had caught a glimpse of golden dragon-shaped energy, but he hadn't seen it clearly.
Now, seeing it up close, it felt incredibly familiar.
Wait a minute… wasn't this just a special effects-enhanced version of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?!
"Hey, Dad! What was that move just now?"
Hearing Chen Ye's question, President Chen replied, "It's a palm technique known as Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."
Oh, come on!
It really was the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!
Zhao Zheng was shocked. "Master, isn't that beyond the scope of traditional martial arts?"
President Chen nodded. "Your martial uncle cleared Secret Realm 30 and received it as an additional reward."
"You can get extra rewards for clearing Secret Realm 30?"
"That's right."
The room fell silent.
Cao Yu, Ren Qianqian, and the others were stunned.
Even Old Liu looked surprised, clearly hearing about this for the first time.
…
The tournament continued.
The first round of elimination matches would last ten days.
President Chen entered the ring on the third day. With one move—Tiger Form Fist—a ten-meter-long spectral tiger appeared on the arena. A single tiger's roar shook the entire venue.
With one swipe of its claws, the American Captain was torn in half!
On the fourth day, Tang Zichen stepped into the ring. With just a casual wave of her hand, the American Captain was sent flying out of the ring, securing an effortless victory.
Ren Qianqian also fought on the fourth day, wielding a short blade. With her exceptional speed, she swiftly stabbed the American Captain through the back of his skull.
On the sixth day, it was Qin Muyin's turn.
Her innate ability was similar to Tang Zichen's, meaning she could have simply waved her hand and tossed the American Captain out of the ring.
But she chose not to do that.
Instead, she simply lifted her delicate finger and pointed into the void.
The American Captain instantly collapsed, his body turning limp like a noodle.
His entire skeleton had been shattered in an instant.
This clearly showed that Qin Muyin had reached absolute mastery in her use of telekinesis.
As Qin Muyin returned to the waiting area, Tang Zichen unconsciously furrowed her brows.
But she quickly returned to normal, and no one else noticed…
