56 Who Is Master Chen? (1/2)

Ever since he was accepted by his master as a disciple and started practicing the ancient Muay Thai, he had never lost a fight. Therefore, not until he saw Lin Hu's incredible power of running on water, did he think that there could be someone more powerful than him.

However, Song Tao quickly turned his fear into motivation. His dedication to martial arts had made him eager to fight against such a powerful opponent.

”Please!”

He bowed to his opponent.

”You first.”

Lin Hu put one arm behind his back; the other reached out toward Song Tao.

Song Tao was angered by his opponent's stance. ”Did he think that he could defeat me with only one arm?”

Although this man seemed to have incredible abilities, Song Tao himself had been invincible across southeast Asia. Who would emerge victorious was yet to be seen.

Song Tao snarled at his opponent and started the secret art of the Ancient Muay Thai. Suddenly, his skin turned coal black as his body drastically increased in size. In a blink, he had become a seven-foot tall giant.

”The Secret Art of Sacrifice? That's what I am talking about.”

Lin Hu nodded.

The Fourth Uncle spoke under his breath, ”Song Tao is going all out. The Secret Art of Sacrifice could only be used three to four times in a lifetime before the user spent his life energy. After each and every use, the fighter will have to rest for a few months before they could fight again.”

Miss Lu didn't speak a word; her eyes were glued to Lin Hu.

Song Tao howled a few more times before he threw himself at his opponent.

Song Tao's speed had slowed down significantly; however, the power in his fist was immeasurable.

Guo Wei's face paled. He wagered that if Song Tao had used the secret art against him, he wouldn't last longer than three moves.

Meanwhile, Lin Hu stood on stage unflinchingly. He didn't counter the attack until Song Tao's fist was only a few inches away from him.

His counter-attack was quiet but precise.

”Kacha!”

After the two fists collided, Song Tao's body flew back like a lifeless rag doll.

Silence fell to the arena as everyone gaped at the man who had defeated a seven feet tall giant with one punch. Lin Hu shook his head and said:

”You are too weak. Maybe we can fight a bit longer after you have trained for another twelve years.”

Lin Hu linked his hands behind his back and turned to look at the audience.

”Who else wants to challenge me?”

Although all the businessmen sitting at the platform had brought their champions, no one had answered Lin Hu.

The businessmen were shaken after seeing Lin Hu 's dramatic entrance from the lake. Their champions couldn't even defeat Song Tao, much less the man who had crushed Song Tao with one punch.

Baldy Liu's smile curdled on his face; he wished that he could hide in a hole so that Lin Hu would never notice him again.

Miss Lu seemed less confident as well; her face looked concerned.

Lin Hu's involvement had spoiled her plan. The fighter was too powerful even for the Fourth Uncle.

”No one else?”

Lord Hu scanned the audience until his gaze landed on Xu Ao. He was not the only person who looked to Xu Ao; everyone else also wanted to know how Xu Ao was going to handle the situation.

Xu Ao took a deep breath; he knew that he could no longer keep quiet.

He was the most powerful and influential tycoon of the Jiang Bei region, as such he would have to carry the burden of confronting Lin Hu. He asked Master Gu under his breath, ”Master Gu, can you handle him?”

Master Gu stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to Xu Ao. ”Lord Xu, I appreciate your care over the years.

”I am halfway to my grave, so what the heck, let me fight for you one last time.”

Master Gu was ready to fight with abandon.

Xu Ao regarded Master Gu with a concerned look. ”Don't force yourself. We can admit defeat for now. ”

Master Gu nodded slightly and started off toward the stage. He straightened his back and looked as if he was 20 years younger.

Seeing Master Gu walking onto the stage, the smile evaporated from Lin Hu's face. He looked at the old man suspiciously and asked:

”As someone who had achieved Phenomenal Success, you should be a worthy opponent. However, it's a shame that you had sustained an injury a long time ago and it affected your power significantly.

”Based on your combat stance, I wager you are from the Gu family. Do you know Gu Shitong.”

Master Gu furrowed his brows and said, ”You know my family?”

”Haha. When my teacher came to China seventeen years ago, Gu Shitong was the first person who had tasted defeat at the hands of my teacher.” Lin Hu said lightly.

”How is that possible?” Master Gu's face turned bleak.

The Gu family was a two-hundred-year-old martial arts family. The family's head, Gu Shitong was a legendary figure who had reached the top level in Internal Force cultivation. During his entire life, he was defeated only once. He was gravely injured in that battle, and the wound had greatly impeded his cultivation. If not for those wounds, he would have already entered the Transcendent State.

Master Gu felt a nagging fear inside of him, and he asked reluctantly:

”Who is your teacher?”

Lin Hu linked his hands behind his back and gave him the name.

”Lei Qianjue of the Hong Sect!”

The name of his teacher stirred the audience as a swell of surprised murmurs rose around him.

Although not a lot of people had heard of Lei Qianjue, Hong Sect was a household name. It was an ancient organization that spread across the globe. It was the largest organization among overseas Chinese. Compare to the behemoth might of the ancient secret organization, the power of these businessmen and women from Jiang Bei was near non-existent.

Even if Xu Ao was the most powerful man in Jiang Bei, he was nothing before he became a member of the Hong Sect.

Someone gasped as realization finally dawned upon him.

”Lin Hu? He was the 'Alaskan Tiger' from the Hong Sect”

Some audience members who had lived overseas were surprised by the revelation.

Although no one had heard of Lin Hu, that was not the case for the name Alaskan Tiger. Rumor had it that he was a rich Chinese man from Alaska. He controlled the shipping route near the Arctic, and all shipping fleets would have to pay a toll directly to his family should they wish to cross the Bering Strait.

His company was as powerful as a small country; these businessmen from Jiang Bei simply couldn't compare.
