Holy Fist!-Chapter 653 - 325 Genius Dinner

Shouts rang out one after another. The entire Martial Arts Arena was in an uproar, the deafening noise exploding all at once. The leaves of the observation trees by the walls rustled intensely.

"Who would’ve thought, Bai Xiao would win the match in this manner!"

"Originally, I thought he would adapt to all changes by remaining constant, relying on his unmatched Strength and Defense, which are considered the best in the national competition, staying at the center. As Gu Yun of Aurora attacked time and again, Bai Xiao would wait for the opportunity, seize the flaw, and win the match in this way. The result was completely different from what I imagined! Fierce Fist Bai Xiao directly matched speed with speed, and finally showcased terrifying Speed..."

"He is also the King of Speed in this Dark World Fighting Competition!"

"This person is too terrifying. He consecutively defeated the previous national competition’s number one in Strength, Shi Chen the Dragon Lizard, and number one in Speed, Gu Yun the Aurora! Plus, Bai Xiao is already the number one in Physique... He has unquestionably become the number one in all three categories!"

Many spectators looked at each other, seeing the shock and amazement in each other’s eyes. Some stood up, cheering excitedly, vigorously waving their fists, seemingly expressing their support for Bai Xiao. Perhaps because of Bai Xiao’s domineering combat style, he had garnered some fans who admired the strong. Others were more rational, comparing multiple matches, and speaking with exclamations.

One of them shook his head and said to the friend beside him.

"I knew that Bai Xiao had a greater chance of winning this match. Some people took the match in the Northern Dark World Fighting Competition, where Gu Yun of Aurora displayed peak Qinggong, and repeatedly attacked and dodged, exhausting Shi Chen’s strength, and ultimately claiming victory as a reference. They thought Bai Xiao would be perfectly replicated..."

"But in reality, these two scenarios are completely different."

"In battles among top experts, speed alone is fundamentally insufficient. The reason Gu Yun of Aurora is formidable is also because his killing ability is astonishing. Whereas, although Shi Chen the Dragon Lizard has incredible Strength, his Physique is not overwhelmingly strong. Therefore, during his battle with Gu Yun, in attack mode, he couldn’t hit the target, wasting energy. In defense mode, he couldn’t fully withstand, frequently getting minor injuries, still consuming energy..."

"This is why Gu Yun could defeat Shi Chen before."

"But Fierce Fist Bai Xiao is different. His Physique is unrivaled, and his Horizontal Training is considered the best in the national competition. Bai Xiao’s shield is above Gu Yun’s spear. When you can’t break through the defense, no matter how fast you are, it doesn’t mean anything. Not only won’t you exhaust the opponent, but you will end up exhausting yourself. In fact, even if Bai Xiao hadn’t shown his terrifying Speed, Gu Yun would have eventually lost..."

The friend nodded, fully agreeing with his point of view.

Martial Arts Arena, rest area.

Wu Ming of Candle Sect, like a cold and rigid statue, exuded a mysterious aura. He looked distantly at the domineering figure on the Solid Rock Arena.

His heart, which had been tranquil like stagnant water for several years.

Suddenly produced a barely perceptible ripple.

The last time he felt this excitement was in the western part of the Tianxia Federation, in Ancient Loulan, competing against Canaan of Free Heaven. And now, facing Bai Xiao, Wu Ming felt a slight movement in his heart.

That represented his acknowledgment of Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao had already entered Wu Ming’s sight.

"Hehehe..."

A barely audible low chuckle drifted away with the wind.

On the other side, at a solitary spot where only one figure sat cross-legged.

Free Heaven Canaan had also watched the entire match, her gaze gradually deepening. She once again realized that she had underestimated Bai Xiao!

National competition, number one in Physique, number one in Strength, number one in Speed.

All three titles were held by this man!

He had already made Canaan feel a bit threatened, and it was gradually intensifying.

"If Bai Xiao encounters Wu Ming of Candle Sect in the semifinals, that would be best. It would definitely force out many of Wu Ming’s techniques, and I could thereby observe what progress he has made over the past year and more."

...

The noise in the Martial Arts Arena gradually subsided.

Finally, it ended with the black-clad referee’s booming announcement.

"Dark World Fighting Competition, Round Three, Match One."

"Fierce Fist Bai Xiao, victory!"

Immediately, on the arena’s surface.

The tall, bare-chested figure slowly turned and walked away with large strides. His glowing, hot muscles quickly returned to normal.

On the spot, only a ten-meter-long trench of destruction remained.

And among the piles of crushed stones.

A man with a bloody face, who had fallen into a deep coma.

Fierce Bird Sect’s headquarters.

Bai Xiao sat proudly in his seat, taking the platinum-colored fighting suit handed over by his junior brother with one hand and quickly putting it on. Beside him, another staff member from the Fierce Bird Sect handed him a chilled bottle of mineral water. He took a sip to quench his thirst.

Then, he ignored the excited discussions of his fellow disciples.

Quickly adjusting his breathing and calming himself down.

"Phew..."

He exhaled a hot breath, quietly looking ahead.

Soon, a line of black text appeared on his retina.

[Your mission "Bounty", Experience +1705!]

Indeed, it was not far off from what he had anticipated.

Although Gu Yun of Aurora was stronger than Shi Chen the Dragon Lizard, it wasn’t by much. Overall, it was just a difference of a hundred Experience points, quite close in strength.

"Seventeen hundred Experience points, which translates to thirty-four Potential Points!"
