Martial Arts Have Baji Quan to Stabilize the Universe!

The scene remained deadlocked for a full ten seconds.

The surrounding audience grew increasingly restless.

But at this very moment.

Both men moved simultaneously!

Fang Qingyu's spine coiled like a great dragon, his feet bent slightly as he planted them on the floor, and the entire person lunged forward.

The Baji Quan technique, "Ding Xin Elbow," tore through the air, his right elbow, trailing a burst of air, aimed directly at Ying Kai's center.

When the tip of his elbow was three inches from Ying Kai's chest, Ying Kai's arms were already spread wide like iron gates.

Fang Qingyu suddenly dropped his shoulder and twisted his hip, transforming the Ding Xin Elbow into a five-fingered strike that slid along the inside of Ying Kai's blocking arm. His fingertips found the pressure point under the armpit, twisting and pulling.

Ying Kai's right arm instantly went limp and dropped.

Immediately after, Fang Qingyu's right knee drove towards Ying Kai's abdomen.

"Bang!"

However, as the previous ring champion, he wasn't going down that easily.

The knee strike was intercepted by a left palm as hard as an iron plate. Ying Kai, using the rebound force, spun and retreated.

This caused Fang Qingyu's follow-up whip kick to miss.

The two men created distance once more.

This brief, dazzling few seconds of combat, reminiscent of a wuxia drama, caused the audience seats to erupt once more.

"Hoo."

Fang Qingyu regulated his breathing.

He now had a rough understanding of Ying Kai's strength.

His power was around 230KG.

He had learned some palm-based Martial Methods, but Fang Qingyu didn't recognize them.

His thoughts paused.

Ying Kai charged forward again, just as Fang Qingyu had anticipated, the opponent had learned palm techniques.

His punch transformed into a palm strike, chopping directly at Fang Qingyu's shoulder.

Fang Qingyu stomped his left foot on the ground, forcing his body to shift right. Simultaneously, his left hand extended across Ying Kai's right hand, gripping his neck, while his right foot wedged between Ying Kai's legs.

Applying force with both his left hand and right foot.

Ying Kai's body was instantly forced down. Fang Qingyu raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and smashed down fiercely!!

Jiang Long Stance!

Bang—

Ying Kai seemed completely unprepared for Fang Qingyu's mastery of Baji Quan. He took the full force of the blow, collapsing to the ground.

But just as Fang Qingyu's fist was about to strike the back of his neck to press his advantage.

Ying Kai's hand, at an unbelievable angle, struck back at Fang Qingyu's arm.

A strange vibration shot through Fang Qingyu's fist into his palm.

"Crack!"

Fang Qingyu's right arm suddenly went limp.

His knuckles felt numb, as if he'd hit a vibrator.

The next second, Ying Kai pushed off the ground with both palms, launching himself into the air like a dragon flipping over.

Before he even landed, he twisted in mid-air and struck back with his palm towards Fang Qingyu's face.

Fang Qingyu only had time to raise his left hand to block.

Bang—

The force of this palm strike was ridiculously immense.

Fang Qingyu felt as if he'd been hit by a tidal wave head-on, involuntarily staggering backward.

In this round.

Neither man had gained an advantage.

Ying Kai hadn't expected such a young man to wield Baji Quan so skillfully.

Fang Qingyu also hadn't expected his opponent's arm to bend backward to such an extent.

At this moment, Ying Kai frowned, instinctively touching the area between his neck and shoulder.

He had been so close.

He was almost instantly defeated.

Fang Qingyu gave him no chance to react. Although his mouth was already full of blood, he still spat out two words that he had repeated countless times in the Martial Hall.

"Again."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he charged forward.

Baji Quan's strength lay in its close-quarters striking, even if the opponent was stronger.

But in the back-and-forth exchanges, Fang Qingyu feared nothing more than direct confrontation!

Baji Quan was about being tough!

Fierce!

Unyielding!

The atmosphere in the stands surged to a fever pitch.

More than money, the visceral thrill of bone-crunching impact was what they came for!

"Are you trying to die!?"

After several rounds of offense and defense.

Ying Kai suddenly felt Fang Qingyu's approach change; he was only attacking, not defending.

Even when Ying Kai's palm strike was about to hit his neck, Fang Qingyu merely shifted slightly, letting the palm strike land on his shoulder, and then forcefully returned a punch.

Seeing Ying Kai's shocked and angry expression, Fang Qingyu came to his senses slightly.

"Sorry."

"This is the first time I've felt this exhilarated."

This was his first time fighting with everything he had, holding nothing back.

But even though it was his first time...

He found himself unexpectedly engrossed.

"Just surrender. You can't beat me."

Ying Kai said with a grim expression, listening to Fang Qingyu's words.

"Alright."

Surprisingly, Fang Qingyu nodded readily.

These words, transmitted through the loudspeakers, caused the audience to erupt.

A torrent of vulgar curses rained down.

Even the referee rushed forward, intending to declare the surrender invalid.

But before he could speak, Fang Qingyu continued.

"If you can block my next move, I'll surrender."

"Come on."

Ying Kai silently extended a single palm.

"Okay, here it comes."

Beneath his mask, Fang Qingyu's lips curled into a smile as he silently chanted.

"Blood Burst!"

The next instant, his body seemed to be enveloped in threads of blood.

Before anyone in the stands could get a clear look, Fang Qingyu vanished from his spot.

In Ying Kai's widening pupils.

Fang Qingyu was already in front of him, his left hand gripping his own right wrist, his body losing all strength, and then he slammed himself violently into Ying Kai.

He had seen this move before at the Martial Hall.

It was Baji Quan's signature technique.

Tie Shan Kao!

Bang—

The collision of bodies produced a heavy thud.

The spectators could only see a blur of a figure being sent flying.

Smashing hard against the wire mesh.

It was Ying Kai!!

The crowd immediately shifted their gaze to Fang Qingyu.

However, he had already returned to his normal state.

The referee quickly rushed to Ying Kai's side and began the count.

"1... 0..."

But before the countdown even ended, Ying Kai had already passed out.

Medical personnel immediately rushed onto the stage with a stretcher.

"Hiss."

"The winner is Fang Qing!!!"

The moment his right hand was raised.

The entire audience rose to their feet as well, shouting Fang Qing's name.

He said one move, and it was one move!!!

That absolute confidence had infected them.

Of course, if the result had been the opposite.

Fang Qingyu would have been heavily criticized as well.

"Tsk, him it is! Go make contact."

In a second-floor VIP box, the man in the suit, who had watched the entire fight, saw Fang Qingyu slowly walking off the stage and instructed the person next to him.

"Yes."

Back in the security room.

Fang Qingyu sat on the sofa to rest, feeling the weakness brought on by Blood Burst.

He recalled the process of the recent fight.

His fervor for combat had even overshadowed the sense of danger that Vigilance had alerted him to.

His mind held only one thought.

If they can't be killed, then fight them to the death.

Was he some kind of super battle maniac!?

Fang Qingyu looked at his hands, realizing this trait for the first time.

In past fights, he had always been forced into them.

He didn't want to be bullied or taken advantage of.

After starting martial arts, he hadn't really fought much.

Tonight was the first time he had truly fought with all his might.

In fact, this trait had been evident from the very beginning when he started practicing Baji Quan.

He'd hit the wooden dummies reinforced with steel as if his life depended on it.

Even Coach Lin couldn't help but ask him if it didn't hurt.

But this was good too.

At least with this trait, he wouldn't be afraid of fighting.

"Knock knock~"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Qingyu frowned slightly. The people giving out bonuses were usually their own people, so why were they knocking?

He got up and opened the door.

Standing outside were several men in suits, wearing sunglasses and carrying radios late at night, their expressions perfectly serious.

Bodyguards!?
