Yan Lincu had barely defeated his opponent before immediately challenging Chen Fan.

This naturally caused an uproar among countless spectators, who found it hard to believe.

What ordinary martial artist at the Strength Training stage possessed such terrifying vitality and blood energy?

Even someone as knowledgeable as Li Linliu could not help but marvel inwardly. "Such stamina and blood energy can only be achieved by someone at the sixth level of martial arts who has completed their body's minor circulation... Could Yan Lincu truly possess some kind of special constitution?"

Unfortunately, the world was vast and constitutions varied greatly. Li Linliu could not possibly identify the exact reason for Yan Lincu's powerful body based on only a few battles!

With the finals beginning early, countless spectators were naturally thrilled.

The clash between the two youngest genius youths was all the more dramatic!

Everyone eagerly awaited the moment they would determine a victor.

Chen Fan in particular had repeatedly been deemed inferior to his opponents, only to turn the tables and win time and again. This made even more people eager to see whether he could pull off one final upset!

Yan Lincu's freakish constitution also made people want to witness the true limits of his body!

The medicinal pill Chen Fan had taken yesterday had not yet been fully digested, its effects still lingering within him. He had also just drunk the stamina-restoring medicine provided by the organizers. His condition was now nearly perfect, so naturally he did not fear fighting Yan Lincu!

He flipped onto the arena and stood facing Yan Lincu from afar.

As he leaped onto the stage, countless people below erupted into cheers, shouting both their names.

The two of them could both be called legendary competitors of this martial tournament.

Of the two, Yan Lincu's support was faintly greater.

After all, the constitution he had displayed was simply monstrous. The fact that he had defeated a third-level martial artist was right before them, and his daring to challenge Chen Fan without resting at all was enough to show his confidence!

At the referee's command, the finals officially began!

Yan Lincu's eyes widened as he gave a savage grin and lunged straight at Chen Fan.

His fists were like the wind.

Another all-out assault!

Chen Fan was equally confident in his own blood energy and physique. He did not retreat in the slightest, instead launching the sixth form of Tiger Fist and smashing out a punch head-on!

Bang!

Both of them felt the terrifying power transmitted from the other's body and retreated.

Yan Lincu had clearly retreated farther.

Smack.

Chen Fan had the upper hand!

Almost the instant he steadied himself—

"Your strength..."

Yan Lincu planted his rear foot, frowned as he shot Chen Fan a surprised look, then lunged at him again.

There was practically no pause for adjustment or recovery!

Chen Fan's gaze sharpened as he struck back once more!

In terms of pure strength, Chen Fan, who had broken through multiple times, surpassed Yan Lincu by a small margin.

After all, when he had defeated Feng Yuancheng, he had not held much of an advantage in technique either!

In fact, in terms of skill and combat experience, Lin Qingyu, Feng Yuancheng, and the others were all superior to Yan Lincu. But Yan Lincu's constitution was simply too domineering. His blood energy seemed inexhaustible, allowing him to maintain a relentless offensive without caring about his opponents' attacks. That was what made him truly formidable!

In every battle, he had never defeated his opponents through exquisite techniques. Rather, he could almost ignore their attacks and overwhelm them with wave after wave of ferocious assaults until their stamina was utterly depleted!

Simply put, Yan Lincu attacked quickly and had high defense, but was somewhat inferior in raw strength.

And by coincidence, Chen Fan's blood energy and stamina were also incredibly robust, while his technical mastery was not particularly outstanding either...

It could even be said that the two of them possessed the strongest foundations and blood energy among all competitors in this tournament. Their endurance was terrifyingly high.

This caused their battle to quickly turn into a war of attrition!

Of course.

Chen Fan could feel the pressure of Yan Lincu's fierce assault, but it was far less than when Feng Yuancheng had attacked without regard for anything in the previous match.

This was partly because Chen Fan had perfected Shattered Jade Fist, and the pill he had taken yesterday had continued to digest, further increasing his strength.

It was also because Yan Lincu's techniques were not refined enough. He was merely reckless enough!

The two were both young, their strength nearly equal, each with their own advantages. Their fight was unexpectedly intense.

Chen Fan even believed that he was stronger than his opponent, yet Yan Lincu's nonstop attacks prevented him from turning that advantage into a decisive victory...

"Yan Lincu already went through a grueling battle earlier, yet his strength has not diminished in the slightest. It seems he truly rivals an ordinary sixth-level martial artist, with full blood energy and a flawless body..."

On the main platform, the various hall masters and gang leaders watched with heartfelt admiration.

"With Yan Lincu's special constitution, once he cultivates a true cultivation art in the future, there will likely be no obstacles before the seventh level. He need only accumulate enough to break through!"

Li Linliu opened his white jade fan and lightly fanned himself.

Many characteristics of special constitutions flashed through his mind...

Among those present, the highest cultivation was only the sixth level of martial arts. Other than Li Linliu, they were also all basically over forty.

Breaking through after the seventh level was an entirely different matter.

For the rest of them, there was likely little chance of any further breakthroughs in their lives.

Yet Yan Lincu could almost certainly become a sixth-level martial arts expert without any obstacles. Naturally, this created an immense sense of disorientation and contrast for the others!

"Yan Lincu has been attacking relentlessly, yet he is only evenly matched with Chen Fan. It seems Chen Fan is still somewhat stronger in both power and technique, but unfortunately, not by much..."

"By the looks of it, this battle can only end with Chen Fan being worn out by Yan Lincu!"

If Chen Fan's strength or techniques surpassed Yan Lincu's by two or three levels, he might have been able to forcefully defeat Yan Lincu without giving him a chance to drag things out!

The problem was that Chen Fan's advantage was too limited. He could only passively fall into Yan Lincu's rhythm.

Chen Fan's greatest advantages when he defeated Lin Qingyu and Feng Yuancheng had been his blood energy and physique, yet before Yan Lincu, those had become disadvantages!

This can't go on...

Chen Fan knew full well that Yan Lincu's constitution was unusual. Fighting a battle of attrition against him was truly unwise.

Even when he unleashed his strongest moves, he could only knock Yan Lincu back a few steps, and his opponent would rush forward again in the blink of an eye. There was simply no chance of knocking him off the arena!

Yan Lincu had defeated one opponent after another to reach the finals, so naturally he was not easy to handle.

But this is a good opportunity!

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

His automated Wind-Thunder Palm, White Cloud Pine-Crane Palm, and Shattered Jade Fist had all undergone moments of enlightenment in battle before, so there was no chance for them to achieve another breakthrough through enlightenment.

But he still had more than ten other martial arts manuals at hand!

It was never only martial arts that had not finished automated training that could yield insights in battle!

When he had ambushed Pi Liu, his Tiger Fist had broken through after he had already fully mastered all six forms, spontaneously producing an additional form. That had been different from the insights he had gained through actual combat these past few days!

And this battle with Yan Lincu was bound to be quite prolonged.

He could also feel a certain amount of pressure...

It was even more suitable than his battle with Feng Yuancheng.

Could he not "comprehend" every martial art he had already mastered but had never experienced enlightenment with in battle?

Never mind how much progress it might bring. If every martial art could produce an additional form, the improvement to his strength would be terrifying!

On top of that, the effects of the pill he had taken yesterday had yet to be fully digested, and his blood energy would undergo another transformation.

At that thought, a gleam flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

He then switched from palms to fists and began using a third-grade manual he had once mastered: Duck-Walking Fist!

Smack!

Yan Lincu's eyes widened. "You brat, are you looking down on me?!"

Because it was a third-grade manual, its moves were naturally far less refined. However, with Chen Fan defending passively and holding an advantage in strength, he did not fall too far behind!

To the spectators, though, it seemed rather strange...

Li Linliu narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and laughed. "Chen Fan is testing moves again!"

The other hall masters were also left speechless.

This kid's strength might not be all that exceptional, but his nerve was truly admirable.

"What use are a few trash martial arts?"

Someone shook his head.

Third-grade manuals usually had only two or three forms and could be performed very quickly. After Chen Fan exchanged a few moves, special runes flashed before his eyes, and he immediately switched to another martial art.

Chen Fan had originally held an advantage in both technique and strength. Even against Yan Lincu's relentless attacks, he had not been the least bit weaker. But once he began switching to third-grade martial arts, he found himself somewhat unable to keep up, making frequent mistakes!

Yan Lincu thought Chen Fan could no longer hold on, and his eyes lit up.

His fists became even fiercer!

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves. Chen Fan kept changing techniques and retreating, and it looked as though he would soon reach the edge of the arena...
