Chapter 24 Ma Hongjun, so frail and weak!
That's right.
Real combat!
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai thought the same thing at that moment.
This is the only chance to turn things around.
As long as they demonstrate strong combat capabilities and prove their worth, the Heavenly Court will definitely beg them to join!
"The second challenge: the martial arts arena!"
The silver-armored deacon waved his hand.
The two were teleported to different arenas.
Ma Hongjun stood on the ring, trying to calm himself down.
He looked at his opponent.
He was a scholar who looked frail and weak.
He was wearing a faded blue robe and holding an ancient book in his hand, without even glancing at Ma Hongjun.
There was not a trace of the aura of a powerful expert emanating from him.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ma Hongjun was overjoyed.
This one's in the bag!
This guy is clearly a bookworm and a weakling!
God is still looking out for me!
I'm going to get all the face I lost earlier back in this round!
The scholar opposite him slowly put down his book and bowed slightly, somewhat shyly.
"I am just a passerby, with low cultivation, having just reached the Divine Bridge Realm."
"Please, brother, show mercy and stop here."
The Divine Bridge?
What kind of realm is this?
I've never even heard of it!
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Ma Hongjun's lips.
No matter what level you're at, looking at your sickly appearance, you're not going to be beaten!
"Of course, of course!"
"Fatty, I'll be gentle!"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Hongjun released his martial soul.
"Phoenix Fireline!"
A burst of purplish-red flames erupted instantly, carrying scorching heat, and rushed straight at the scholar's face.
He didn't hold back at all; he went all out from the very beginning!
He's going to kill them instantly!
We must use the most dazzling method to awe the entire audience!
The audience of Douluo Continent was also invigorated.
"The explosive power of the Evil Fire Phoenix is still very strong!"
"Even a Great Soul Master wouldn't dare to take this attack head-on."
However.
The next moment.
The scholar who called himself Passerby A simply sighed softly as he looked at the flames rushing towards him.
Why is he so irritable?
He casually raised his right hand, as if shooing away a fly.
There were no fancy moves.
It was merely a wisp of energy stirred up by the waving of his sleeves.
Bang!
The crimson flames that filled the sky were extinguished in an instant.
Immediately afterwards.
The force of the energy continued unabated, slamming solidly into Ma Hongjun's round belly.
"Puff—"
Before Ma Hongjun could even scream, he was sent flying backward like a tattered ball.
He arced through the air, spitting out blood, before crashing heavily onto the white jade ground outside the arena.
Countless bones in his body were broken; his eyes rolled back, and his fate was unknown.
One move.
It can't even be called a move.
It was just a casual wave of the hand.
The entire square fell silent.
The scholar was stunned. He looked at his own palm, then at Ma Hongjun, who was lying like a dead pig in the distance, with a face full of innocence.
"This..."
"I really just blocked it casually."
"I never expected this gentleman to be so... so frail."
"I'm truly sorry, I didn't expect my opponent to be so weak."
Although Ma Hongjun was unable to move his body at this moment, a trace of consciousness remained.
Upon hearing this, he became extremely angry.
"Puff!"
He spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back completely, and he fainted.
Douluo Continent.
Everyone was stunned.
The comments section completely disappeared.
A deep sense of despair permeated everyone's hearts.
That scholar... he looked so weak, yet he crippled Ma Hongjun with a single slap?
Is this the power of the Shrouding the Heavens dimension?
Is the so-called "Divine Bridge" realm stronger than a Title Douluo?
Crushing.
A crushing defeat that leaves one in despair.
A chorus of wails filled Shrek Academy.
"Fatty!"
Oscar exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Xiaogang swayed, almost losing his balance, his face ashen.
It's over.
This is incredibly embarrassing.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire plane, he was instantly killed by a native who was reading a book.
This has completely disgraced Douluo Continent!
"And Mu Bai!"
Tang San suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse.
Everyone's attention quickly shifted to another screen.
Dai Mubai was unaware of the tragedy that had befallen the fat man.
He stood on the ring, arms crossed, blond hair flying wildly, still maintaining that arrogant posture.
His opponent was a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.
She had two pigtails, was holding a candied hawthorn in her hand, and was looking at him with her big, blinking eyes.
Dai Mubai was certain.
She's just a little girl.
It seems I'm quite lucky.
He gracefully extended one hand, making a gesture of invitation.
"I don't hit women, especially cute little girls like you."
"You should go down by yourself, so as not to ruin the harmony."
The girl tilted her head and took a bite of the candied hawthorn.
The way she looked at Dai Mubai was as if they were looking at an idiot.
"Hey big guy, are you out of your mind?"
"This is a martial arts arena. Are you not here to fight, but to hold a beauty contest?"
Dai Mubai's face stiffened.
Being looked down upon by a little girl like that, his proud self-esteem instantly crumbled.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for not being chivalrous!"
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!"
Dai Mubai roared, his muscles bulged, and a bright white light shone from his body.
On the Douluo Continent side, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts, which had been ashen.
After all, Boss Dai is a powerful offensive type Battle Soul Master, and also a royal martial soul.
Dealing with a little girl shouldn't be a problem, right?
Maybe... we can win?
A surge of white light erupted, and the fierce light wave of the White Tiger, powerful enough to shatter giant rocks, carrying all of Dai Mubai's soul power and arrogance, crashed fiercely into the seemingly harmless girl.
The girl bit into the last hawthorn covered in sugar frosting, her pink cheeks bulging.
She didn't even blink in the face of this fierce attack.
She simply stretched out her small hand, still holding the bamboo skewer, and casually flicked it at the air as if swatting a fly.
Snap!
A crisp popping sound.
The dazzling white light wave dissipated instantly upon contact with her palm strike, like a bubble meeting the blazing sun.
Not even a trace of smoke remained.
Dai Mubai's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
How is that possible!
That was his third soul skill. Combined with the amplification of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, even Soul Masters of the same level would have to temporarily avoid its edge.
This little girl hasn't even awakened her martial soul yet!
Before he could even process what was happening, the girl had already vanished from the spot.
The next moment.
A delicate but slightly annoyed face was pressed directly against his face.
"Big guy, you're really noisy."
The girl's voice was clear and melodious, but to Dai Mubai, it sounded like a death sentence.
A small, white fist rapidly enlarged before his eyes.
There are no fancy techniques involved.
It's pure power and speed.
Bang!
The punch landed squarely on Dai Mubai's abdomen.
Even with the double defense of the White Tiger Protective Barrier and the Vajra Transformation, it was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in the face of that terrifying force.
Click!
The sound of bone cracking was clearly audible.
Dai Mubai's originally burly body, which had become robust due to the possession of his martial soul, instantly bent into the shape of a shrimp.
"Vomit—"
A large mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of broken internal organs, gushed out.
