Martial Arts Competition

Li Fenshuang opened his eyes slowly. It took a few seconds to regain his consciousness before he could be fully awake.

"Ah, I've become a 2nd Stage Martial Master, right?"

He shook his head and stood up, stretching his strained muscle. Continuous, forceful motion for 40 hours straight isn't really good for his body. Li Fenshuang groaned in satisfaction.

He glanced at the old clock. Thankfully, he only slept for 6 hours. According to the schedule, the registration would start at 8 am to 10 am, and the competition begins at 11 am.

Although he no longer needs the battle skills, he was still in desperate need of funds. The prize of the championship is 10,000 global dollars. Even if he spent it on lavish food, it would be enough for more than a month!

If he used nutritious intake for his training, perhaps his physique could cross the threshold of 120. More importantly, he needs a mobile phone, a computer, and other electrical devices!

In this day and age, not having a mobile phone is equivalent to being an anti-social, oblivious guy who lives under a rock. Even Li Fenshuang couldn't bear it anymore.

He swiftly took a bath and wore a set of comfortable clothes.

He glanced at himself in the mirror. The previous muscular figure seems to be refined to an extreme degree, showing off the muscle's intricate details.

He moved his pinkie finger, and a bulge between his forearm appeared. Even Li Fenshuang became fascinated with himself.

"It's my genetic that insane? Surely not, right?"

In the end, he could only give up on speculating.

After admiring himself a few more times, Li Fenshuang heads out. As usual, he greeted the elders with a polite smile and began to sprint. For a 2nd Stage Martial Master, even 50km/h is equivalent to a walk.

Mankind's fastest man before the extraterrestrials invaded was 44.76km/h. It could be said that he was already a superhuman!

The competition was held in the square town of Jin Town. Before his memories awakened, because he was poor, he had no idea what existed outside of this territory.

In his previous life, this town could only cover about 1,000,000 meters square. For a town, it was relatively small. But here, it has been expanded hundreds of times.

Thanks to the notes he had studied, he found out that the size of the cerulean planet was a million times that of his past life! As a result, the dwellings on it were affected.

After half an hour of sprinting, Li Fenshuang finally arrived at the square town. A huge, circular building on a high plateau was used to hold the competition, with numerous youths crowding the registration place.

Li Fenshuang felt a rising excitement as he felt the bustling crowd. He was truly relishing his reminded youth! How exciting!

He looked around and asked a couple of youths to understand the situation. It was only now that he understood.

"Most of the things I read on the poster are correct. However, there are several specifics a competitor must fulfill to enter the competition."

"First, they have to be at least a 1st Stage Martial Realm. Second, their background must be clear. Lastly, they have their parent's or guardians' consent. In my case, it's myself."

Li Fenshuang smiled wryly. Still, it doesn't dampen his intention to compete. With a spirited stride, he went into the line to register.

There's a commotion ahead. Li Fenshuang, with his tall figure, could easily see it. Having nothing better to do, he curiously watched the show.

"I heard that one of the neighbor town's geniuses wanted to participate in this gathering."

"The town had allowed it? Wouldn't it cut off our opportunity then? The geniuses in our town are already hard enough, but they want to add other geniuses into the equation!"

"Look! Do you see that young man? Let me tell you something. He is the 72nd son of the head of a colossal family from a city. Because he is a genius, he could cut off the lines entered straight into the top hundred!"

"Damn! Our chance to enter the top hundred would decrease then. This is truly unfair! Didn't he come from the city? Why is he competing with us then?! Don't tell me his talent is not enough to compete in the city!"

"Brother, watch your mouth! Sh*t, he heard that. It seems like this time we must part ways. I hope your fate is enough, Brother."

A big-boned, amicable-looking youth sighed sadly.

Sure enough, the youth who carelessly ran his mouth was being glared at by the 72nd son. With a wave of his hand, two menacing, muscular Martial Masters appeared before the youth. Before he could do anything, they beat him up in the middle of the crowd!

The other youths in the line were terrified. Some high-spirited young ladies even began to cry, unable to bear such an open cruelty.

"Next time, watch your mouth. It's considered a mercy for you to leave alive today."

Some youths wanted to record this secretly to serve justice, but they were quickly stopped by their friends. It was obvious what sort of consequences they have to bear if they offend such a force. It wouldn't take much to make them 'disappear' for such a colossus.

The 72nd son waved his hand, and the two Martial Masters leisurely threw away the 'corpse' of the youth. The crowd hurried made space for the unconscious youth, not willing to go near him.

Li Fenshuang has no intention to intervene. He merely watched the scene deeply. Although he's confident enough to sweep the arrogant 72nd son with his prowess, he must consider other things.

When he's strong enough, that's when he'll sweep through anything. Their dad came out? Their granddad? Ancestor? Grand-Ancestor? Come on! I'll take you all on!

As of now, laying low is the best development plan for him. Soon, after the commotion ended, the registration continued as if nothing happened. However, the youths don't clamor anymore.

They clenched their fists as cold sweats profusely fell on their backs. It's only now they understand how cruel a Martial Arts Competition can be! Here, life and death could be decided by but a wave by someone of higher status!

Such a cruel world!

After a while, his turn finally came.

The one in charge, a calm, ordinary young man, showed a polite smile as he gestured to him a form, "Participant, you could fill the form with your basic information. We apologize for the commotion early. Don't worry, it won't happen again."

Although he said that, Li Fenshuang understood that it would happen again if someone was dumb enough to provoke someone they could not afford to offend.

It was relatively quick. After he filled out the form, the calm young man showed him the way. Li Fenshuang nodded as he entered the building through the massive gates.

Inside, several stages were already prepared. Li Fenshuang looked around. As he expected, there are 50 stages in the building, and in each stage, a battle royale would be held. There would be brutal fights on each of the stages.

A massive screen in the sky showed the time. He groaned. It's only 8:30 am. This might take a while.

He found a spot at the corner and sat on it.

Without a mobile phone, there's really nothing he could do. Li Fenshuang sighed to himself. If this would be the case, wouldn't it be better for him to come a little later?

In the end, he decided to recall the things he learned from the notes. As he got immersed in recalling the content, a figure suddenly blocked him from the sun, creating a sudden contrast.

Li Fenshuang opened his eyes in surprise. In front of him, a stunning lady was standing shyly, although it seemed intentional. She offered him a playful smile, "Would you mind if I take a seat?"

"Sure."

Although he doesn't understand her meaning, she doesn't seem to come with bad intentions. What befuddled him was the fact that she was too stunning. He had a fair share of experience, and in his opinion, she's definitely one of the top beauties. Perhaps only Zhu Xueyan could compare to her.

He immediately thought of something. Yes, there's definitely something strange here!

"Can I be straightforward?"

The young lady looked confused for a moment, but she just nodded, "Sure."

"You're so stunning, why are you not being bombarded by them? Especially those geniuses who entered the top hundred without having to do anything."

Li Fenshuang looked at her in the eyes. He could clearly see her delicate features up close. Her watery, phoenix eyes. Her heroic eyebrows. The more he realized it, the more confused he became.

She was such a stunning lady; why did she choose to sit beside him?

"Those so-called geniuses are not worthy to even see my hands, not to mention my face."

The lady scoffed in disdain, but with her face, it was still pleasant to look at.

Hearing her answer, Li Fenshuang became even more confused.

"So why can I?"

"What do you think?"

The lady smiled playfully, narrowing her watery eyes cunningly. His mouth twitched. Damn lady, why make things so complicated? Do you have to be this weird? Why talk in circles?

As if hearing his thought, the lady giggled, "It's you who's weird. I'm so stunning, why aren't you flattering me?"

"I did. I called you stunning, didn't I?"

"That's not enough!"

"How is it not enough?"

As the conversation continued, the more headache he suffered. Thankfully, she's very stunning, so he could at least enjoy the view as she playfully jabbed at him. If not, he may or may not punched her in the face...

"I might not know what exactly you are thinking; I definitely understand your bad intentions though!"

The lady accused him, taking the high moral grounds.

"You're a very strange lady; you know that, right?"

"You're stranger."

"How am I strange? I'm just an ordinary guy, while you could be called a beauty that could topple a country. People would look at you weirdly in this situation, not me."

"I didn't expect you to be so good at this. You're so bad!"

Li Fenshuang was dumbstruck. What am I good at? And why am I so bad? What did I do?

"If you win, I'll give you something good."

Suddenly, the stunning lady chimed out. Her voice is melodious, and even Li Fenshuang couldn't help but have his heartbeats rise. He was somewhat embarrassed when he saw a knowing look from her beady eyes.

"How good?"

"You'll see."

After she said so, she silently disappeared. He didn't know if she was too fast for him to follow or if she was just an illusion this whole time, but he leaned more toward the latter. Who knows what sort of methods such a mysterious, stunning lady has under her sleeves?

It was weird that no one seemed to notice her, despite her stunning look.

Besides, she was too beautiful. There's no way she would meet him personally. It's not really self-deprecating. It's just cold, hard truth.

It's something he's long been used to.
