Swift Blade Liao Fei

[Mighty Man, Realm: Body Tempering Third Layer, Total Matches: 0, Wins: 0, Win Streak: 0]

"Hmm?!"

Seeing this codename, Qin Chen raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something.

At the same time, a wave of surprised murmurs erupted from the spectator stands.

It used to take ages to see a string of zeros, yet today they had already seen two.

Moreover, the realm was even lower than the previous one.

Could it be... another genius capable of fighting above their rank?

For a moment, the crowd was filled with anticipation, but their expectations quickly vanished into thin air.

"I forfeit!"

A muffled voice came from the waiting area, and in an instant, everyone's gaze shifted toward him.

o((⊙﹏⊙))o.

Li Meng was panicking!

It wasn't just because the gazes of most people around were fixed on him; more importantly, he had been matched against Qin Chen.

Looking at the familiar figure on Arena Stage Six, Li Meng felt an inexplicable pain in his chest.

The experience of being defeated by a single punch yesterday seemed to flash before his eyes again.

No way!

Didn't he just break through to the Body Tempering Third Layer after going home yesterday, feel like he was back in the game, and come to Myriad Blades Arena today to test the waters?

How did he run into this guy again?

This was the person who had snatched away his title of Mighty Man just yesterday!

So, without any hesitation, Li Meng chose to forfeit immediately.

Are you kidding me?!

Didn't they see Qin Chen take down a veteran at the Body Tempering Sixth Layer with just two punches?

With his big arms and legs, how could he possibly be a match for that guy?

At the same time, he felt both shocked and relieved.

Shocked that even though Qin Chen was only at the Body Tempering Third Layer yesterday, he had already broken through to the Body Tempering Fourth Layer today.

This difficulty was not something that could be compared to his breakthrough from Body Tempering Layer Two to Body Tempering Third Layer.

Moreover, his strength was somewhat non-human.

If he had been uncertain yesterday when he said that the two strongest students in Grade 10 at Muyang Third Middle School were no match for Qin Chen, he was now absolutely certain and convinced.

What level were those two guys at? They weren't even fit to carry Qin Chen's shoes.

He felt fortunate that Qin Chen hadn't treated him the way he treated Blood Wolf yesterday; otherwise, he feared he would still be lying in bed right now.

At this moment, Qin Chen's gaze drifted over. When he saw Li Meng's figure, he revealed an expression that said, "As expected."

He just knew it!

Apart from this guy, no one else would probably choose such a name.

It lacked any artistic flair! It wasn't as good as his!

"The King of Body Tempering Layer Six wins!"

As the host's voice rang out, a wave of boos erupted from the spectator stands.

However, these boos were not directed at Qin Chen, but were instead mockery aimed at Li Meng.

"He thought he was so badass picking a codename like that, but it turns out he's a total weakling!"

"He didn't even dare to step onto the stage to fight, and he calls himself 'Mighty'?"

Facing these taunts, Li Meng's expression didn't change in the slightest; he sat in his seat, calm and composed.

Heh~ No attack power at all!

He didn't just have big muscles on his body; he also had his own insights into training the muscles and skin of his face!

For the next period of time, Qin Chen continued to defend the ring and was matched against two more opponents.

Without exception, they both surrendered immediately!

Because the opponents matched in these few rounds had records similar to Qin Chen's, and not a single one of them had strength exceeding Body Tempering Sixth Layer.

Why wouldn't they surrender?

To go up there and get beaten?

Until—

Swift Blade Liao Fei, Realm: Body Tempering Sixth Layer, Total Matches: 90, Wins: 73, Win Streak: 9

A young man slowly stood up and walked toward Arena Stage Six.

"It's Liao Fei!"

Someone exclaimed.

"If it's Liao Fei, he should be able to beat that kid, right?"

"Both are at the Body Tempering Sixth Layer, but Liao Fei's strength is far superior to that guy Blood Wolf! He has even defeated a Body Tempering Seventh Layer cultivator before; he is one of the strongest Body Tempering Sixth Layer fighters in the Myriad Blades Arena!"

In an instant, everyone's gaze converged once more, their eyes filled with anticipation.

At the same time, the odds for the two fighters appeared again on the large screen above Arena Stage Six.

Unlike before, Qin Chen's odds this time did not reach the maximum multiplier; instead, they were nearly identical to Liao Fei's.

Qin Chen's dominant performance earlier had led many to favor him.

Finally, when Swift Blade arrived at Arena Stage Six, the odds for both fighters stopped changing.

Swift Blade Liao Fei: 1.34, King of Body Tempering Layer Six: 1.81

It was no surprise that Liao Fei's odds were lower than Qin Chen's.

Compared to Qin Chen's performance just now, more people still favored Liao Fei.

After all, Liao Fei's strength had been tested through battle after battle.

Liao Fei stared intensely at Qin Chen and said in a deep voice:

"You are strong!"

"You aren't weak either!"

A serious expression appeared on Qin Chen's face as well.

The aura radiating from his opponent told him that this was definitely not an easy adversary to deal with.

But that was what made it interesting!

Otherwise, it would be too boring if they just surrendered like in the previous matches.

Although his main goal was to make money, theoretically, having his opponent surrender and letting him earn money while lying down was the best choice.

But he didn't subscribe to theory!

Having stayed here for a while, he had been infected by the surrounding atmosphere, and his fighting spirit had been completely stirred up.

Now, he wanted an evenly matched opponent to help him properly loosen his muscles and bones.

Swift Blade Liao Fei, standing right before him, was clearly a good choice.

The two stared at each other in silence, the air heavy and still, while a large crowd focused their gazes entirely upon them.

Suddenly, both moved at the same time!

Their figures lunged forward in an instant, sprinting toward one another.

Liao Fei raised the long blade in his hand and, as he closed in on Qin Chen, slashed down fiercely.

The blade's light was shadowless, sweeping past in a flash and drawing gasps from the spectators in the stands.

Yet, this lightning-fast strike still failed to hit Qin Chen. Qin Chen shifted his body to the side, dodging the blade just as he had evaded Blood Wolf's attack earlier.

He then adopted the same strategy as before, throwing a punch toward Liao Fei's abdomen.

But Liao Fei was no Blood Wolf. His eyes narrowed, and the downward-slashing blade suddenly twisted at an uncanny angle, striking toward Qin Chen once more.

Sensing the danger, Qin Chen did not hesitate for a second; he immediately abandoned his attack and retreated rapidly.

The blade's light swept past, and a scrap of fabric fluttered down onto the stage.

Qin Chen's expression turned grave. He looked down at the tear in his shirt over his chest, a chill running down his back.

If he hadn't dodged quickly just now, it might not have been as simple as just a cut in his clothes.

Swift Blade—it truly lived up to its name!

At the same time, this served as a reminder: until he could face weapons head-on with his bare fists, having a weapon of his own would be extremely useful.

Speaking of which, he should find some time to get his hands on a blade.

The Shaking Mountains City Destroying Saber he had obtained from the school's Battle Skill Pavilion a few days ago had been gathering dust ever since.

He couldn't be blamed for that, though; who told him to be so "busy" these past few days?

He simply hadn't had the time to find a blade and start learning it!

But that was a matter for tomorrow at the earliest. What he needed to do now was defeat the opponent in front of him!

With this thought in mind, Qin Chen crouched slightly, then flashed forward, sprinting toward Liao Fei once again...
