At this moment, Mo Qingkuang was unprecedentedly confident. Unlike his usual battles where he relied on speed to dodge and seize opportunities to win, this time he took the initiative to attack.
First, Chen Kong had an Earth Spirit Body, making him immovable like a mountain, often adopting a defensive stance.
Second, Mo Qingkuang was confident enough in his own attacks. The wind attribute was actually not inferior to the fire attribute in terms of offensive power, and its sharpness was even comparable to that of the metal attribute!
As soon as the battle began, he launched an aggressive attack!
He kicked out continuously with both feet, sending two arcs of green true qi flying swiftly toward Chen Kong like two sharp scythes, seemingly cutting through the air.
"True qi released from the body! Grandmaster realm!" Li Sheng exclaimed. Although he had guessed that Mo Qingkuang dared to challenge Chen Kong because he had also broken through to the grandmaster realm, he still found it hard to believe when it actually happened before his eyes.
Mo Qingkuang was only seventeen!
"Hongyi, pinch me! Is this real?" Tang Yu asked Gu Hongyi next to him, his expression terrified.
"Ouch—that hurts!"
Gu Hongyi was also in a daze. Hearing Tang Yu's unreasonable request, she subconsciously pinched him without holding back.
Tang Yu cried out in pain, "It's real! Mo Qingkuang has entered the grandmaster realm!"
Regarding the arena battle between Mo Qingkuang and Chen Kong, Gu Hongyi and Tang Yu naturally wouldn't miss it. Watching Mo Qingkuang casually kick out two wind blades, they were endlessly shocked.
As a fellow martial arts examination candidate, when Tang Yu first met Mo Qingkuang, he was only a first-rank martial master like himself.
In just over a year, Tang Yu had exhausted all efforts to advance to a third-rank martial master, while Mo Qingkuang had already entered the grandmaster realm, leaving them far behind!
On the stage, Chen Kong was well-prepared. He had long known that Mo Qingkuang had reached the grandmaster realm and was not surprised or dismissive of Mo Qingkuang's strength.
Seeing the two wind blades coming at him, Chen Kong casually struck out with his hands, golden light flowing around his palms, effortlessly shattering the two wind blades that could have killed a peak martial master.
Mo Qingkuang wasn't surprised by this. It was merely a probing attack.
Having heard of Chen Kong's prowess for a long time, Mo Qingkuang truly felt Chen Kong's deep and profound strength only when facing him directly.
Suddenly, Mo Qingkuang moved rapidly, forming a series of green afterimages on the stage.
This was the manifestation of reaching the extreme in speed, making it almost impossible for the naked eye to lock onto Mo Qingkuang's position. Even Chen Kong couldn't do it.
"So fast!" Li Sheng, who was most familiar with Mo Qingkuang's terrifying speed, knew what this could lead to.
Mo Qingkuang's speed was several times faster than when he had competed with him before. Not only the people present but even Chen Kong, and even the grandmaster pinnacle Han Kongming, couldn't accurately lock onto Mo Qingkuang's position.
How could one counterattack?
Chen Kong remained calm. He had much more battle experience than Mo Qingkuang. While Mo Qingkuang's speed was fast, his ultimate goal was still to attack him.
As long as he fortified his defence, Mo Qingkuang wouldn't be able to do much against him!
Whoosh—
The sound of breaking wind came, and a blue finger imprint, as thick as an adult's arm, swiftly struck Chen Kong like lightning.
It was the Flower-Picking Finger! After reaching the grandmaster realm, Mo Qingkuang's Flower-Picking Finger's power greatly increased. The finger technique, now capable of long-range attacks, was finally showing its true power!
Chen Kong dared not be careless. Having cultivated the 'Withering and Flourishing Sutra,' he deeply understood the might of the Flower-Picking Finger.
The power of the Flower-Picking Finger wasn't just superficial; its most formidable destructive power lay in its penetration.
Chen Kong didn't take it head-on. Stomping the ground, a golden yellow true qi enveloped a wall of earth that rose up with a roar, blocking Mo Qingkuang's attack.
The earth wall was solid and thick, and after taking the Flower-Picking Finger head-on, it didn't show any signs of penetration or even a crack.
However, if anyone thought that this Flower-Picking Finger was not powerful enough, they would be gravely mistaken.
In the next second, the thick earth wall wrapped in Chen Kong's true qi began to crumble from the inside out and suddenly exploded!
Debris flew everywhere, and a cloud of dust erupted!
For a moment, Chen Kong's position was shrouded in dust, and everything in his view became blurry!
Whoosh—
Before Chen Kong could catch his breath, three consecutive Flower-Picking Finger broke through the air, coming from three different directions with strange trajectories.
Chen Kong's ears twitched keenly. Losing his vision, he couldn't pinpoint Mo Qingkuang's exact position, but years of battle experience helped him quickly determine the directions from which the three Flower-Picking Finger were attacking.
He let out a low shout and made a light jump, causing the ground beneath his feet to shake violently!
The ground of the arena deformed terrifyingly, and in the blink of an eye, a massive circular mound of earth formed, enveloping Chen Kong.
The Flower-Picking Finger plunged into the mound, and in the next moment, it exploded, sending rocks scattering everywhere!
Chen Kong's figure was now completely hidden in the smoke.
On the other side of the crowd, the rapidly moving Mo Qingkuang finally stopped, forming seals with his hands and pushing out a palm!
A giant blue handprint rapidly expanded to several meters in size, directly covering the entire smoky area.
Falling Flower Palm!
Likewise, reaching the grandmaster level had caused Mo Qingkuang's Falling Flower Palm to undergo a qualitative change!
Taking advantage of the smoke obscuring Chen Kong's vision, Mo Qingkuang launched his Falling Flower Palm!
He hoped to secure victory with this move.
The onlookers held their breath. The confrontation between the two on stage was extremely intense, with several exchanges completed in a flash, evenly matched!
Mo Qingkuang's attacks were fierce and swift, while Chen Kong's defense was impeccable, making for an exhilarating spectacle.
Amidst the gray mist, Chen Kong, having lost his vision, simply closed his eyes!
In an instant, a powerful oppressive force approached, accompanied by a strong pushing force. The Falling Flower Palm had struck!
Chen Kong let out a fierce shout as his body was pushed backward rapidly, his feet carving deep grooves into the ground.
He had taken the hit!
Chen Kong's heart sank but remained unflustered. Yellow true qi flowed, deepening his connection with the ground, and the ground's suction helped him resist the powerful push of the Falling Flower Palm.
He then fiercely swung his palms, and a giant golden handprint, even larger than the blue handprint of the Falling Flower Palm, emerged!
Prison-Suppressing Hand!
The secret technique of the Chen family, under Chen Kong's execution, struck with devastating force, shattering the subsequent power of the Falling Flower Palm and charging ferociously toward the direction from which the Falling Flower Palm had come.
Mo Qingkuang, after releasing the Falling Flower Palm, did not remain idle. He knew better than to naively believe that just the Falling Flower Palm would defeat Chen Kong. Nor would he be able to push Chen Kong off the stage using the Falling Flower Palm's force, as he had done with Lin Yang before.
Seizing the opportunity while Chen Kong had no vision, Mo Qingkuang once again shifted his position, causing Chen Kong's Prison-Suppressing Hand to miss its target!
The golden handprint shot far beyond the stage, crashing into a small house not far away, reducing it to rubble.
Looking at the scattered bricks and debris, everyone's mouths involuntarily twitched.
Chen Kong was incredibly strong!
