Chapter 0057 – Uncle comes to save
Boom!
Yue Feishan's fist came crashing down like a small mountain, descending with immense force.
Jiang Feng didn't dodge or evade; he simply threw a punch of his own.
"Tiger Roar Overlord Punch!"
A phantom of a fierce tiger appeared instantly, leaping towards Yue Feishan's fist.
Bang!
The tiger collided with Yue Feishan's fist, producing a thunderous noise. The force of Yue Feishan's punch was completely neutralized, and he was pushed back several steps.
"Ah, I knew it. You're a martial artist," Yue Feishan exclaimed, his fist trembling as he released it. "And your strength has improved significantly since last time."
"Haha, glad you noticed. How does it feel?" Jiang Feng laughed.
"Hmph, it's nothing special. Just a martial artist; we practitioners of national martial arts don't take you seriously," Yue Feishan retorted. "Now, let me show you my true power."
Whoosh!
Yue Feishan's entire body shook, releasing a powerful aura that dominated the arena.
"Hmm? Inner Strength, huh?" Jiang Feng remarked calmly.
He had suspected that Yue Feishan had hidden depths, and now it was confirmed. Yue Feishan indeed possessed Inner Strength.
But so what?
Back then, even before he had successfully established his foundation, he could neutralize Xu Chaozheng's Inner Strength. Now that he had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, there was even less to fear.
Xu Chaozheng's Inner Strength was far more formidable than Yue Feishan's.
"White Clouds Emerging from the Mountain!"
Yue Feishan's hands moved in wide, sweeping motions, attacking rapidly.
Between his hands, white clouds seemed to rise, swirling like a dazzling array of flowers.
"Impressive move, White Clouds Emerging from the Mountain," Jiang Feng praised.
"Flaming Lion Palm!"
Jiang Feng struck with a palm.
Roar!
A lion appeared, its body as massive as a mountain, engulfed in supreme flames.
Instantly, the palm wind roared like thunder, blowing away Yue Feishan's clouds in a gust.
Bang!
In that moment, Jiang Feng's palm shattered Yue Feishan's Inner Strength, striking directly at his chest.
Yue Feishan's body was completely out of control, flying backward and crashing heavily into a corner of the ring, nearly rolling off.
He looked utterly disheveled, like a beaten dog.
In the back, an old man in gray saw this and was shocked. He wanted to step forward but hesitated, muttering softly, "Interesting. This young man is no ordinary person. His techniques seem far superior to those fragmented martial skills, and I've never seen such moves before. Which family does he belong to? Let's wait and see."
"Damn, how can he be so weak? Knock Jiang Feng down already! I bet ten thousand bucks on this!" Zhu Bajie slapped his chair in frustration.
He had thought Jiang Feng was no match for Yue Feishan, but now Jiang Feng had taken Yue Feishan's move and even knocked him down. This was unacceptable.
"Don't worry, I believe Director Yue hasn't shown his true skills yet," Xiao Wanjun said.
"Yeah, maybe Yue Feishan is just testing Jiang Feng, giving him a false sense of security before taking him down in one fell swoop," Zhu Bajie said excitedly. "That must be it, hehe."
"Master!"
Wang Badan and others shouted, rushing to the edge of the ring, wanting to help Yue Feishan up.
"Stay back! No one moves without my command," Yue Feishan shouted.
He clutched his chest, his face extremely grim, and slowly stood up, a trickle of blood already seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Alright, I underestimated you. It's my fault for being careless. I deserved that palm," Yue Feishan said.
"Still not convinced?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Hahaha, you think you can make me submit? You're not qualified," Yue Feishan laughed, then suddenly leaped forward with incredible speed, closing in on Jiang Feng in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
Unwilling to give up, Yue Feishan swung his arms, his Inner Strength surging like a rainbow, forming a vortex of air in front of him.
The air current roared like a raging river, thundering loudly.
Jiang Feng could feel that Yue Feishan's Inner Strength was even more formidable this time, all concentrated in that vortex.
"White Dew Across the River!"
Yue Feishan pushed the vortex towards Jiang Feng.
The air current moved unpredictably, making it hard to defend against.
As Jiang Feng hesitated, the air current suddenly accelerated, flashing behind him in an instant.
Before Jiang Feng could react, it struck his back.
Jiang Feng staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
The heavy blow made Jiang Feng feel a tightness in his chest, his blood churning violently.
He hurriedly circulated his True Qi, suppressing the turbulent blood.
Cheng Shaoqing and Cheng Zhenjie stood up, worriedly watching Jiang Feng. Seeing that he showed no obvious signs of distress, they relaxed a bit.
But Zhu Bajie cheered repeatedly, eager for Jiang Feng to be defeated.
Xiao Wanjun's gaze was even colder, staring intently at Jiang Feng, praying for his defeat.
If Jiang Feng lost, he would have nothing left to boast about in front of her, and she wouldn't have to endure his arrogance anymore.
Jiang Feng looked at the smiling Yue Feishan and cursed inwardly, "Goodness, I fell for his trick. What a despicable person."
"But fortunately, this level of attack can't hurt me," Jiang Feng said.
"Hahaha, now you see my power," Yue Feishan laughed.
"You are indeed powerful, and you surprised me, but that's all," Jiang Feng said dismissively.
"Kid, still talking tough at this point? I don't know what your mouth is made of, but it's certainly hard," Yue Feishan said coldly.
"I think it's your mouth that's hard. Come on, stop talking and fight," Jiang Feng said.
"Fine."
Yue Feishan continued to use his Inner Strength, this time channeling it into his legs, then quickly dashed towards Jiang Feng, faster than ever before, using what seemed to be a special footwork technique.
Jiang Feng sneered, "Competing in footwork with me? You've picked the wrong opponent."
In a flash of lightning, Yue Feishan darted around Jiang Feng several times, landing a punch each time.
Though the attacks weren't severe, the frequent hits were hard to withstand.
"Divine Dragon Mysterious Steps!"
Jiang Feng's feet moved instantly, a divine dragon coiling around his legs, as if carrying him through the clouds.
Jiang Feng's figure blurred, intertwining with Yue Feishan's.
To the onlookers, it seemed like two shadows were darting back and forth in the ring, each collision producing the sound of feet clashing.
"Wow, amazing."
"This match is incredible."
"I never thought humans could reach such a level."
"Yeah, I used to think scenes like this on TV were fake, but now I believe it. It's all real."
"This speed is even more impressive than Liu Xiang."
"Of course, there's no comparison."
"Who do you think is winning now?"
"Isn't it obvious? It must be Yue Feishan."
"But Jiang Feng knocked Yue Feishan down earlier."
"Jiang Feng didn't gain much from that either. I'd say they're evenly matched."
"That won't do. We have to believe Yue Feishan will win. Don't forget, we all bet on him. If he loses, our money's gone."
"Right, Yue Feishan must win."
"Jiang Feng can't win."
"Don't worry, he won't. Yue Feishan is just getting serious now."
"But I need to record this match and post it online. I could make some money."
"Good idea, I'll record too."
"You all have such short-sighted views. Shut up, you're ruining my concentration."
"…"
In the ring, one of the shadows suddenly paused, then stopped completely. A series of thuds followed, and someone fell to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, it was Yue Feishan.
Yue Feishan was beaten black and blue, his face swollen, teeth missing, and blood streaming from his nose and mouth.
Seeing Yue Feishan in such a state, everyone was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Yue Feishan was down again, and this time it was serious. He was beaten beyond recognition.
This…
Everyone rubbed their eyes and looked again. It was still the same.
How could the highly regarded Yue Feishan be down? It didn't make sense.
Could a high school student really be so powerful, even defeating a master like Yue Feishan?
At this moment, everyone's perception of Jiang Feng changed significantly.
Jiang Feng was no longer seen as a weak high school student but as a hidden master.
This scene proved everything.
Clearly, the figure still moving back and forth was Jiang Feng.
As everyone was still in shock, Jiang Feng's figure rushed towards Yue Feishan again.
This time, it seemed he wouldn't give Yue Feishan any chance to retreat, aiming to knock him down completely, or even kill him on the spot.
With the deathmatch signed, even if Jiang Feng killed Yue Feishan now, it would be justified.
"A national martial arts family is nothing special," Jiang Feng sneered.
Jiang Feng threw a punch aimed directly at Yue Feishan's forehead.
If this punch landed, Yue Feishan would be crippled for life, if not dead.
"Uncle, save me…" Yue Feishan's pupils shrank in terror, shouting desperately.
"Stop right there."
Just as Jiang Feng's fist was about to hit Yue Feishan, an old man appeared in the ring, blocking Jiang Feng's punch with one hand.
The old man wore a gray martial arts uniform, his hair white, a goatee under his chin, and his eyes gleaming with a profound light, giving an impression of unfathomable depth.
This was the old man who had been muttering to himself earlier.
Everyone was shocked. Who was this man? Why did he suddenly appear in the ring and save Yue Feishan?
They looked at each other, puzzled.
A third party intervening in a match was against the rules and absolutely unacceptable.
"Hey, who are you? Get down," the referee shouted.
The old man ignored the referee, staring intently at Jiang Feng. "Stop. This match is over. You win."
"No, Uncle, I can still fight," Yue Feishan shouted.
"Fool! If I hadn't saved you in time, you'd be dead. What do you mean you can still fight? Haven't you lost enough face?" the old man scolded.
Yue Feishan immediately lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
Jiang Feng withdrew his fist and said calmly, "You're Yue Feishan's uncle? So you're from the Yue family too. Don't you know you're breaking the rules? Aren't you afraid of ruining the Yue family's reputation?"
