C23 Utter Defeat
"Is this the true potential of the basic fist techniques? I'll have to gave back and practice a few more rounds then."
"It's not that the basic fist technique is strong. Instead, it's that Lord Chu Lin is too strong. Even if he only uses the basic fist techniques, he can still resist Ning Feng's gene chain abilities!"
Everyone saw first-hand how Chu Lin managed to break the flurry of wind blades using his basic fist techniques.
The entire crowd of spectators erupted into an uproar as their hearts trembled in suspense.
This scene was far too shocking.
They would have never thought that the basic fist techniques — used by the recruits to train and strengthen their bodies — could actually display such tremendous power.
"The reason why these fist techniques are known as the basics is because they are the foundation to every other fist techniques."
Chu Lin exclaimed with a serious expression.
"All the other advanced fist techniques that you know have all derived and evolved from these basic fist techniques."
"As long as you train enough, you will still be able to beat your enemies to a pulp no matter what sort of advanced techniques they possess."
Chu Lin's speech pierced directly through Ning Feng as a sharp dagger.
At this point, Ning Feng had already used his ace, [Dance of the Wind Blades], and thrown out the rest of his trump cards at Chu Lin's face.
However, he never expected Chu Lin to use the basic fist techniques that everyone knew to break Ning Feng's Dance of the Wind Blades.
Does this not mean that Ning Feng's wind blades are actually useless? If he could not even deal with an injured Awakened Practitioner, how could he possibly convince the others in Weiyang of his strength?
"Chu Lin!"
Roaring out furiously, Ning Feng's face boiled in rage as he stared at Chu Lin.
How could Ning Feng, an elite Awakened Practitioner in the Weiyang Camp, endure such public humiliation?
"Since you've already used all your techniques, it should be my turn now, right?"
A hint of bloodthirst suddenly flashed across Chu Lin's eyes.
Stomping his feet heavily on the ground, a large crater appeared on the hard stone floor as cracks spread all around the impact.
At that instant, Chu Lin exploded towards Ning Feng like a meteor.
Surrounding his entire body with wind, Ning Feng began floating as he tried to dash away from Chu Lin.
Having a deep impression of Chu Lin's close combat strength, Ning Feng did not dare to fight him head on.
Dashing around with the wind beneath his speed, he hoped to outspeed Chu Lin and slowly wear him down using his Wind Blades.
However, Ning Feng was immediately caught off his guard.
As a grayish light flashed across Chu Lin eyes, a dark aura began rising from his body.
In that instead, Chu Lin's speed skyrocketted as he caught up to Ning Feng.
"What!? How are you..."
Turning around and seeing Chu Lin right behind him, Ning Feng's eyes widened in pure disbelief.
"You're such an idiot."
Chu Lin revealed a sinister smile as he looked towards Ning Feng.
"Descent of the Fierce Tiger!"
*Crash!*
Receiving the brunt of Chu Lin's attack, Ning Feng's body crashed and embedded fiercely into the ground.
As a loud shockwave reverberated through the arena, cold chills shivered down the spine of the spectators as if they were the ones receiving the punch.
"This... Chu Lin, when did you become so powerful?"
Seeing how Chu Lin fiercely smashing Ning Feng to the ground, he could not help but scratch his head as he said in a silly manner.
"Although Ning Feng can't do much damage to me, he is still an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. How did he get knocked out by Chu Lin so easily?"
As Han Dong listened to Tie Niu's words, his eyes flickered with a strange light as he fell into a moment of deep thought.
Chu Lin then stepped on Ning Feng's body. Weighed down by Chu Lin's feet, Ning Feng's weak little body was almost unable to withstand it anymore.
Ning Feng's pale face revealed a pained expression. When he looked at Chu Lin again, there was no longer any hatred left in his eyes as it was quickly replaced by an endless terror.
He did not understand how Chu Lin's strength had improved so fast within such a short period of time.
In their first battle, it could be said that Ning Feng underestimated Chu Lin, resulting in his defeat.
Ning Feng knew clearly in his heart that Chu Lin had increased his strength by several folds since then.
However, was his strength not growing a bit too fast? After all, he had only been staying in Weiyang for less than a month.
"Will you admit defeat?"
Looking down at Ning Feng from above, Chu Lin asked indifferently as he emitted a trace a killing intent from his body.
Ever since Chu Lin became an Awakened Practitioner, Ning Feng had been targetting him when he got the chance to. But now, he even wanted to target Yu Zhen.
Chu Lin couldn't bear it any longer. If he swat down this annoying pest this time, Ning Feng would surely come up with something else to exact his revenge.
"I... I surrender..."
Ning Feng said hesitantly.
At this point, he was completely frightened by Chu Lin.
Chu Lin's body emitted an intimidating aura as heavy killing intent enveloped him.
Ning Feng was complete convinced that Chu Lin would kill him on the spot if he dared to say the word, "No."
Having already killed one of the Awakened Practitioners from the Sand Wolves Camp, why would he not dare to kill another?
"Hand over your wind element aura sensor."
Chu Lin stretched out his hand and said coldly.
Ning Feng did not hesitate in giving him the item. As long as he could keep his life, not to mention the wind element aura sensor, he would be willing to give Chu Lin everything that he had if he needed to.
Ning Feng took out a bottle of light green misty substance from his pocket and handed it to Chu Lin.
Chu Lin put away the test tube and lifted his foot from Ning Feng's body.
"Alright, I declare that Chu Lin won this challenge. Now, everyone quickly return to your positions."
Seeing that the duel was over, Han Dong declared in a deep voice that suited someone of his unique position.
With that, the surrounding crowd dispersed as well.
While Chu Lin may have made a name for himself in the battle, he had unknowingly started to overshadow his two senior Awakened Practitioners, Tie Niu and Hong Moli.
The scene of Chu Lin using his basic fist techniques to overcome Ning Feng's Dance of the Wind Blades was deeply imprinted into the minds of the spectators present. Everyone now admires him as a mighty and extraordinary figure in the camp, befitting of the title, "God of War."
Ever since that duel, the news of Chu Lin's basic fist techniques circulated and made its way into the warriors' usual training routine.
Other than Weiyang's soldiers who had to train and improve their martial arts under the gravitational field every day, even some of the camp's non-combatants followed suit and started practicing their fist techniques as well.
After losing to Chu Lin, Ning Feng left the arena in a dejected state and did not show his face ever since.
Having lost all his face from that duel, he no longer had the courage to appear in front of the others again.
Needless to say, Ning Feng had already been beaten shut by Chu Lin.
From that day onwards, Ning Feng would subconsciously avoid anything related to Chu Lin.
After the challenge ended, Han Dong had unexpectedly summoned Chu Lin over to his barracks.
When he arrived at Han Dong's room, other than Han Dong himself, there was no one else.
"Commander, do you have something you need from me?"
Chu Lin went straight to the point.
