Chapter 58: Famous In Jiang Bei

“Fourth Uncle, how is the power of the Thousand Trickeries?”

Miss Lu asked.

“His Power?” The fourth Uncle grunted wryly and continued, “Lei Qianjue had reached enlightenment on the arctic tundra and gained the ability of the Thousand Trickeries. He had been invincible ever since.”

Rumor had it that he had shredded a polar bear that weighed a few hundred pounds into pieces with a wave of a hand.

“So… Is that boy in big trouble now?” Miss Lu paused. She covered her mouth to suppress a cry.

“Even if Lin Hu didn’t use the Thousand Trickeries, the boy was no match against him nonetheless.” Fourth Uncle shook his head and said.

In the eyes of Fourth Uncle, Lin Hu had already reached the precipice of Internal Force cultivation. Even if he was facing a Transcendent Master, he should be able to escape unharmed. Judging by Chen Fan’s appearance, Fourth Uncle was convinced that the boy had never undergone martial artist training. Even if he were a powerful caster, he would be no match against a martial artist in close range.

Despite spellcasters’ unimaginable power, they needed to play their ability in the right circ.u.mstances. In a close quarters tournament stage such as this, the casters were in a severe disadvantage since the martial artist would be able to take the initiative and finish off the caster before the latter had a chance to unleash his or her power.

Therefore, Fourth Uncle was convinced that Master Chen was going to lose the fight.

Fourth Uncle was not alone, as his worry was shared by all the bosses that sat around the table. The difference between Lin Hu and Chen Fan was unbridgeable. One was a renowned fighter overseas, and in China, the other was a no account.

They watched as Chen Fan waved a hand and drew all those deadly stringy energies into his arms as easily as a professional noodle maker would to flours.

“Impossible!”

Lin Hu’s face darkened.

The energy inside the Thousand Trickeries was highly concentrated Internal Force and lacked any physical substance. Therefore, it was impossible to be drawn into Chen Fan’s arm.

“I have already told you, you haven’t seen real martial arts yet.”

Chen Fan moved his hands about before his chest as if he was holding a giant ball.

“Humph! What you used is not martial arts; it was just a spell!” Lin Hu was still in denial. He granted and decided to ditch the Thousand Trickeries and use one of his most powerful abilities instead.

Suddenly, Lin Hu snarled at Chen Fan, and his frame increased in size again. As his body grew bigger, his muscle also increased in volume. Without any warning, he charged out and slid past Chen Fan. With an abrupt about-turn of his body, he hurled a fist at the back of Chen Fan ‘s head.

The fist traveled at lightning speed and boomed in the air as a fighter jet would. The execution of the punch was the epitome of the Internal Force’s deadliness.

“Ah!”

Chen Fan heaved a sigh. He turned around, raised both hands, and bore down onto his opponent.

Chen Fan’s move seemed ordinary. However, Lin Hu’s face paled at the sight of the incoming attack. He could feel the immeasurable power carried by Chen Fan’s strike. It was as if a powerful immortal had lifted the Pillar of the World above his head. He knew right away that he should avoid a direct impact.

“Sh*t!”

Lin Hu was startled by the power of the blow; he was forced to retreat his punch to defend himself.

Even as everyone was wondering why Lin Hu wouldn’t finish his opponent off, they watched as Chen Fan pressed one hand on the ground.

“Kaboom!”

It sounded like a meteor striking the earth, and the loud din was followed by a shock wave.

The earth trembled, and many audience members were tossed out of their chairs by the shock wave, A large crack appeared on the stage, originating from where Chen Fan’s fist had landed.

“Is this real Martial Arts?”

Lin Hu, Fourth Uncle, and Master Gu were all stunned by the display of power.

Nothing seemed to make sense. The Thousand Trickeries was Lei Qianjue’s most famous art, yet it was countered easily. Furthermore, Chen Fan was supposed to be a spellcaster, but not a martial artist. Where did he learn such a belligerent and mighty fist technique?

Although his punches appeared to carry a measure of levity, its blows were as heavy as a mountain. There was no doubt that such power was beyond the ability of a mortal.

Lin Hu’s mind reeled after seeing the development.

Master Chen was not a spellcaster, but a Martial Artist, a mighty one while at it. Chen Fan’s physical strength and inner force cultivation were not any less powerful than his. He wagered that even his teacher, Lei Qianjue could not defeat the boy without struggling, much less him.

“What should I do now?”

Lin Hu hesitated.

Chen Fan opened his arms abrupted like a crane stretching its wings

“The second From, Humble Cloud Hand.”

“s.h.i.+t! That’s enough!”

By then, Lin Hu had lost all appet.i.te for fighting, so he retreated. Even as he pulled back. Chen Fan waved both hands in front of him and caught up with Lin Hu in a heartbeat

“That’s impossible!”

Anger and fear spurred Lin Hu to attack again as he threw one last punch at Chen Fan.

This punch was his coup de grace as he had channeled all of his Internal Force into his fist. It would be able to crush a granite boulder much less human flesh.

Chen Fan’s counter-attack seemed almost lazy. He swept his finger gently across the air and reached Lin Hu’s chest.

“AHRR!”
