I've Revealed My Hand! (Seeking Good Reviews!)

Chen Jia was once again enveloped by an orange glow.

One glance alone gave a sense of overwhelming weight.

It was as if the force behind that fist weighed as much as Mount Tai.

"Interesting!"

Seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes blazed with brilliant light, utterly exhilarated.

"Boom!"

Another fist-to-fist collision.

Both of them stepped back a pace.

Chen Jia's expression turned grave, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

She had awakened a Mutated Strength Attribute and was most sensitive to combat power.

That last punch, Chen Jia had already used eighty percent of her strength.

She could now be certain.

The Lu Chen before her was definitely a martial artist who had completed Skin Refining.

Otherwise, even an ordinary Peak Fourth Rank wouldn't have such combat power.

"Mutated Strength Attribute, not bad. But... if that's all you've got, it's a bit underwhelming."

Lu Chen let out a sinister chuckle and struck again.

Chen Jia fixed her gaze on him, fearless. "Hmph! Then let's go again!"

"Boom, boom, boom~"

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged several more blows.

Each punch heavier than the last, radiating oppressive force.

"I didn't expect Chen Jia's strength to surpass even Peak Fourth Rank."

Lin Mo watched from the side, inwardly somewhat surprised.

Before, Chen Jia's combat power was decent, but she still had room to spare.

Now, this was her full strength!

As for Lu Chen, his strength was also extremely formidable, showing no sign of falling behind.

The more Lin Mo watched, the tighter his brow furrowed.

Something was off!

"This Lu Chen... hasn't used his full strength yet!"

Although it looked like Chen Jia and Lu Chen were trading blows evenly, as if evenly matched, From their breathing, one could tell.

Chen Jia's breath was already starting to falter, occasionally gasping for air.

But that Lu Chen, from start to finish, kept his breathing steady.

Clearly, he hadn't reached his limit yet and was still hiding his strength.

Suddenly, Lu Chen's speed surged dramatically, and his power multiplied several times over.

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, Chen Jia was instantly sent flying, stumbling back a full ten paces before barely stopping.

But what even surprised Lu Chen was that Chen Jia, having taken that punch, didn't spit blood.

"Didn't expect you to have such strong endurance, hahaha. Let's see how many more punches you can take."

Lu Chen laughed loudly, giving Chen Jia no chance to catch her breath as he pressed forward.

"Hmph!"

Chen Jia gritted her silver teeth, ignoring the churning blood in her chest, and met him head-on again.

But this time, she underestimated Lu Chen.

In an instant, she felt the terrifying force of Lu Chen's power.

Just blocking one punch sent excruciating pain through her palm and the bones of her arm.

As if they were about to shatter into pieces, her face instantly turned pale.

Yet Lu Chen showed no sign of stopping, punch after punch driving Chen Jia backward.

Suddenly, Chen Jia's foot slipped, and she was about to fall.

And Lu Chen's next punch was already coming, aimed straight for Chen Jia's head.

"Not good!"

Seeing Chen Jia in danger, Lin Mo silently cried out, and the next second, he had already flashed to Chen Jia's side.

Just then, a figure appeared before Chen Jia even faster.

"Bam!!"

Lu Chen's attack was blocked.

"Oh? An instructor?"

Seeing who it was, Lu Chen smiled with a sinister charm.

"Lu Chen, what do you think you're doing? This is an assessment. You're not allowed to take the lives of other trainees. Are you ignoring the rules?"

The instructor glared at Lu Chen, his voice cold.

Earlier, when Lu Chen was fighting Chen Jia and the others, the instructor hadn't intervened because he hadn't sensed any lethal intent.

But just now, Chen Jia's old strength was spent, and her new strength had yet to arise.

Her breathing was rapid and erratic, and after the exchange of blows, her arm had visibly drooped.

That meant the bones in her hand had suffered severe damage.

If he hadn't stepped in, Lu Chen's next punch could very well have been fatal.

"Rules? Is she dead?"

Lu Chen, however, looked at the instructor with amusement and shot back.

"Bastard! If I hadn't acted, and that punch of yours hit her head, would she still be alive?"

Seeing Lu Chen's attitude, the instructor flew into a rage.

"Dead. That's. What. Counts."

Lu Chen didn't care at all, enunciating each word with extreme arrogance.

"You... Hmph! Instructor of Ning Province, show yourself!"

Enraged, the instructor shouted into the surroundings.

Every trainee had a shadow instructor hidden nearby to protect them from death.

Even if they ultimately failed the selection, with their talent, they would still achieve remarkable results at Martial University. They were the pillars of the nation, and naturally, they couldn't be allowed to die.

But... after waiting a moment, there was no response at all.

This made the instructor frown, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"Are you looking for our shadow instructors?"

Just then, Lu Chen stared at the instructor with a sinister grin.

"Come on, bring them out!"

With a wave of his hand, two men behind him stepped forward and unzipped the large packs on their backs.

"Thud, thud, thud~"

From the packs, several heads tumbled to the ground.

Each head had its eyes wide open, faces frozen in terror and disbelief.

Clearly, before their deaths, they had experienced something horrifying.

"Just who are you people?!"

In an instant, the instructor snapped into a fighting stance, on high alert.

The ten heads before him represented ten instructors.

They were the shadow instructors assigned to Lu Chen and his group.

And they had all been killed? How was that possible?

"Swish, swish, swish, swish~"

In the blink of an eye, nine more figures appeared on the field.

They were the shadow instructors for Lin Mo's and Huo Zihao's teams.

Together with the instructor who had first appeared, ten people instantly surrounded Lu Chen and his group.

"Who are we? Hahaha, kill them!"

Surrounded, Lu Chen only glanced around once before bursting into laughter—wild, unbridled laughter.

As his words fell, his nine subordinates immediately charged at the instructors.

"How dare you!"

"Looking for death!"

Each team of shadow instructors had one Sixth-grade captain and four Fifth-rank members.

Such a combination was enough to handle any situation.

Seeing Lu Chen's men counterattack, they immediately flew into a rage.

But the moment they clashed, they were shocked!

"Peak Fifth Rank!"

They never imagined that the nine people Lu Chen had brought had all been hiding their strength before.

Now that battle had begun, their full power erupted, revealing their Peak Fifth Rank cultivation without any concealment.

What terrified them even more was that among these nine, there were actually two at the Sixth-grade.

"Heretics!"

The leader of the accompanying instructors shouted instantly.

At this point, they naturally understood where these people came from.

Only Heretics would disguise themselves like this to assassinate genius trainees.

"No... it's none of my business!"

At that moment, Huo Zihao collapsed to the ground, finally seeing the truth.

But his heart was filled with sheer terror.

He had only wanted to find an acquaintance to teach Lin Mo and Xiao Ya a lesson for embarrassing him.

Who could have imagined that this "Lu Chen" he knew was actually a fake?

And a Heretic at that!

He was the one who brought them here—once he was linked to the Heretics, he was finished!

"Hehe, you lot, prepare to die!"

His men had already blocked the accompanying instructors, but Lu Chen turned his gaze toward Xiao Ya, Chen Jia, and the others.

Killing geniuses like them would bring him pleasure and earn him recognition and praise from his superiors!

And as his words fell, "Lu Chen's" true strength erupted.

A suffocating pressure burst forth, weighing down on everyone present.

"Bone Refining!"
