First Place in the Martial Competition

Think about it carefully yourself.

After Chen Lie finished speaking, he ignored Lu Qingchan and turned back to the Martial Arts Arena.

Lu Qingchan then remembered that she had wanted to test Chen Lie's abilities and assess his strength, but before she could make a move, she was suddenly attacked by Chen Lie, and then everything went black.

"What is this? I haven't even had a chance to test his strength, and I'm already out?"

Lu Qingchan found it a bit far-fetched. Was it that her strength was indeed inferior to Chen Lie's, or had she been careless just now?

At the same time, the school's loudspeaker announced, "Students, the finalists for this martial arts competition have been selected."

One was Zhou Tianhong from Elite Class 1, and the other was Chen Lie from Elite Class 5, both winners of the martial arts competition.

It will be one of the two of them.

"The final competition is about to begin. Please have both students come to the stage immediately."

Chen Lie walked straight onto the Martial Arts Arena.

On the other side, Zhou Tianhong leisurely walked onto the Martial Arts Arena.

He stopped ten meters away from Chen Lie.

Zhou Tianhong, who was watching from below the stage, clearly saw Chen Lie's move. Under Chen Lie's preemptive strike, Lu Qingchan, who was ranked second on the Elite Student Top 100 Ranking, didn't even have a chance to react before being knocked unconscious.

Zhou Tianhong figured he might not be able to handle Chen Lie's move either, so he stopped ten meters away from Chen Lie.

With such a long distance, he wouldn't be eliminated before he even had a chance to make a move.

"Please have the Provincial TV Station's cameras focus on Chen Lie and Zhou Tianhong during the final round."

The two students exchanged information.

Upon hearing the broadcast, Chen Lie immediately reported, "Chen Lie, your Blood Qi Value 142.31 calories."

"Zhou Tianhong, Blood Qi Value: 327.49 kcal."

Zhou Tianhong got into battle stance, and he did not underestimate Chen Lie just because Chen Lie's Blood Qi Value was half that of him.

Those who make it to the finals cannot do so by luck alone; they must defeat at least two students with over 200 Blood Qi Value each to reach this stage.

The school loudspeaker announced, "The competition begins!"

Zhou Tianhong leaped up instantly, his iron fists slamming towards Chen Lie.

Knowing that he shouldn't confront them head-on, Chen Lie leaped back.

As a result, Zhou Tianhong's settlement landed on the ground of the Martial Arts Arena, causing the solid concrete floor to crack instantly, forming a spider web-shaped crack on the surface.

Zhou Tianhong missed his first strike, then followed up with a sweeping leg kick.

Chen Lie used Zhou Tianhong's force against him, instead of directly confronting him with strength, he used an elbow strike to deflect Zhou Tianhong's attack.

"Take this!"

After Zhou Tianhong stopped using his leg techniques, he began to unleash a series of palm strikes at Chen Lie.

In an instant, Zhou Tianhong struck Chen Lie with dozens of palms. Due to the fierce and rapid nature of Zhou Tianhong's palm strikes, Chen Lie had no way to dodge and could only use the technique of using minimal force to deflect the force of Zhou Tianhong's palm strikes.

One minute into the battle, the sight of the two fighters drew admiration from the instructors in front of the Martial Arts Arena.

"It's hard to believe that two students are fighting on the dueling platform, and they're almost as strong as Ranked Martial Artist."

"Both of them on stage are geniuses, naturally not much inferior to ordinary Martial Artist. However, what is the background of this Chen Lie? Why did he suddenly appear in this martial arts competition? How come I've never heard of him before?"

"Old Hong, you have such a genius hidden in your elite Class 5, how come I've never heard you mention it before?"

Hong Chengshuo, who was standing next to him, chuckled but didn't answer.

He was also very shocked. He had only hoped that Chen Lie would be among the top 50 in the martial arts competition, but Chen Lie had actually made it to the finals.

This made even his role as the tutor of the Elite Class 5 feel a sense of unreality.

"However, Zhou Tianhong's strength far surpasses Chen Lie's. In just half a minute, Zhou Tianhong unleashed three C-level martial arts techniques: the Army-Breaking Fist, the Flying Dragon Leg, and an unknown palm technique."

Although Chen Lie dealt with everything, it would be too difficult for him to win.

On the Martial Arts Arena, Zhou Tianhong was panting heavily; the series of attacks he had just launched had exhausted a great deal of his strength.

He stared at Chen Liedao, "I didn't expect there to be a strong person like you in the school. My Blood Qi Value are twice as high as yours, but I still can't do anything to you."

You have a wealth of combat experience, but the gap in strength between us is too great; it cannot be bridged by mere combat experience.

Just then, three days ago I mastered a B-Rank Martial Art to perfection. I'll test its power on you.

"Roaming Dragon Eight-Ridge Fist!"

Zhou Tianhong unleashed his fist technique, and with each swing, a whooshing sound arose around him as dozens of invisible fist energies descended upon Chen Lie.

This martial art combines movement techniques and fist techniques, making it both offensive and agile. Moreover, Zhou Tianhong has mastered it to perfection, with dozens of fist shadows appearing out of thin air.

The instructors in front of the Martial Arts Arena exclaimed, "Zhou Tianhong has actually mastered B-Rank Martial Art to perfection? The competition is about to begin; Chen Lie is doomed to lose!"

The other instructors were also shocked. To have mastered a B-Rank Martial Art to such a high level was something many instructors couldn't do.

The students watching from the sidelines were also watching this scene intently.

Faced with Zhou Tianhong's powerful punch, Chen Lie shifted his stance and unleashed a top-tier B-Rank Martial Art he had cultivated in his previous life: the Phantom Steps.

Suddenly, Zhou Tianhong, who was swinging his fist, felt a blur before his eyes. In an instant, he saw hundreds of Chen Lie spread across the entire Martial Arts Arena.

As soon as Chen Lie unleashed his Phantom Steps, he instantly created hundreds of phantoms that spun around in the Martial Arts Arena.

Some students standing nearby below the Martial Arts Arena were stunned. "Holy crap, what's going on? Amazing!"

Several teachers in front of the Martial Arts Arena also stood up excitedly.

"This is at least a pseudo- A-Rank Martial Art, and it's a pseudo- A-Rank Martial Art that has been cultivated to a superb level!"

Who is this Chen Lie? How did he manage to cultivate an advanced martial art to such a superb level?

On the Martial Arts Arena, Zhou Tianhong roared and attacked a phantom Chen Lie with a punch, but the phantom vanished instantly.

Zhou Tianhong was immediately sweating profusely with anxiety, looking around frantically to find Chen Lie's true form.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" rang out.

Zhou Tianhong's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

Chen Lie's true form had somehow appeared behind Zhou Tianhong and delivered a heavy elbow strike to his neck.

After Zhou Tianhong was knocked down, the hundreds of phantom figures on the Martial Arts Arena suddenly stopped moving and walked towards Chen Lie, merging with Chen Lie's real body one by one.

At this moment, the Martial Arts Arena was completely silent, and all the teachers and students were stunned.

After a long while, the broadcast finally came on again. "The final has ended. Chen Lie Chen Lie Zhou Tianhong and became the champion of this martial arts competition."

"Classmates, let's give a warm round of applause to Chen Lie to congratulate him on winning first place in the Campus Martial Arts Competition!"

In an instant, a deafening wave of applause swept in.

"Incredible skill, simply incredible skill! I never imagined that someone could cultivate martial arts to this level. Zhou Tianhong's defeat was not unjust."

The title of "First Place in School Martial Competition" and "Elite Student Top 100 Ranking" has changed hands. Zhou Tianhong, who had held the top spot on the Elite Student Top 100 Ranking for nearly a year, has been defeated.

Chen Lie has become the biggest dark horse in this competition.

"Can someone explain to me what just happened? Why did dozens or even hundreds of Chen Lie's phantom images suddenly appear?"

On one side of the Martial Arts Arena, Lu Qingchan covered her mouth in surprise with her small hand.

She had originally wanted to assess Chen Lie's strength, but she never expected that even Zhou Tianhong, whose Blood Qi Value exceeded 300, was no match for Chen Lie, so she was definitely not qualified.

How could Chen Lie's strength have suddenly become so great?

Could it be because of becoming Divine Sense Master?

She was very puzzled.

The loudspeaker suddenly blared again. "Next, please welcome today's martial arts champion, Chen Lie, to the stage in front of the Martial Arts Arena."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Chen Lie immediately turned and walked towards the podium.

In the office next to the stage in the square, the instructor who was hosting the martial arts competition hurriedly walked in.

"Principal, Director Li, the results of the martial arts competition are in. Chen Lie from Elite Class 5 has won first place."

"We saw it!"

The principal responded and urged the school staff, "Quickly find Chen Lie's student file."

It is essential to have detailed information about him from his first year of high school to the present.

"The school has such a martial arts genius, yet we failed to discover it; this is truly our dereliction of duty."

The staff member immediately retrieved Chen Lie's student file from the Optical Computer and replied, "Principal, found it."

The principal urged hastily, "Print it out quickly!"

"Principal, there's no need to print it; Chen Lie's student file is very short."

It's only a few dozen words.

"A few dozen words? How is that possible?"

The principal and the dean of students immediately gathered around and, sure enough, saw very brief file information.

"I studied in the Ordinary Class for almost three years before joining the Elite Class just a month ago."

No wonder, he's been hiding his true strength all along.

Chen Lie stepped onto the podium, and five or six cameras were simultaneously pointed at him.

A beautiful reporter in her early twenties approached Chen Lie with a microphone in hand. "Hello, Chen Lie, I'm a reporter from East River Province TV Station."

First of all, congratulations on winning first place in this Campus Martial Arts Competition.

As the first-place winner, what would you like to say to your classmates?

Chen Lie shook his head. "No!"

The reporter gave a somewhat awkward chuckle, "Chen Lie, my interview with you will be broadcast on the Provincial TV Station's prime-time Martial Way Theater in a week. You can think about it before you answer."

"It's unnecessary, I don't want to be on TV," Chen Lie replied.

The beautiful reporter covered her forehead with a hint of helplessness, then smiled at the camera and said, "It seems that our martial arts genius is so engrossed in martial arts that he doesn't care about his own glory at all."

In martial arts, this is indeed a rare and valuable quality.

"How about this, Chen Lie, why don't you give a word of encouragement to the tens of millions of teenagers your age in East River Province?" the reporter then asked.
