Yang Ji indeed captured Wang Xian's "rhythm."
Wang Xian's movements were grand and expansive, lacking flexibility and adaptability. However, this flaw was not in his agility but in his "boxing technique."
The "Black Evil Fist" was straightforward and direct, which was Wang Xian's greatest flaw. No matter how powerful Wang Xian was, he could not change the inherent flaw of this battlefield martial art.
The deeper one immersed in this martial art, the stronger one became, the harder it was to change, and the easier it was to be caught in the "rhythm" of the attack.
The biggest challenge in dealing with a martial arts genius like Wang Xian was not to summarize his "rhythm," but to defeat him in actual combat!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The stage was a scene of raging waves. Wang Xian was increasingly surprised as he fought. After successfully cultivating the "Black Evil Fist," this was the first time he felt restrained and unable to fully unleash its power.
Yang Ji's punches often hit him just as he reached 70% of his strength, never allowing him to fully unleash 100% of his power. [PS: Huangfu had read "Hand-to-Hand Combat" and knew that when fighting, closing the distance for close combat reduced the effectiveness of one's strength, while increasing the distance increased the impact of the strikes.]
Wang Xian tried to change his attack pattern, but it was useless. He was still captured by Yang Ji's "rhythm" and "pattern." It felt as if he was trapped in a cage, unable to move freely.
Before the match, Wang Xian thought it wouldn't be too difficult, but now he had to admit that this was probably the most "troublesome" situation he had ever encountered!
"Being able to seal my Black Evil Fist in the martial arts examination, this guy is the first. I have no choice but to use that method. Otherwise, I will definitely lose."
A flash of determination appeared in Wang Xian's eyes. The more familiar Yang Ji became with his attack rhythm, the more Wang Xian felt himself being suppressed.
Now, he could only use 70% of his strength. If this continued, he would be lucky to use 50% of his strength soon. In this situation, not using the "Steel Finger" would mean certain defeat.
Wang Xian was a military man but not a bloodthirsty one. The "Steel Finger" was a martial art he had practiced for ten years, with immense power. One point of the finger could create a bloody hole, leading to either death or serious injury.
Wang Xian always considered it his ultimate skill, unwilling to use it lightly. But now, if he didn't use it, he might not get another chance.
"Hum!"
On the stage, as this thought flashed through Wang Xian's mind, he loosened his tightly clenched fist, preparing to use the "Steel Finger." At that moment, a sudden change occurred—
A blood-red palm rapidly expanded in Wang Xian's eyes, and with a bang, it struck his chest with lightning speed. A mountain-like force instantly erupted.
Boom!
Wang Xian's body trembled and was directly thrown off the stage, flipping in the air and flying out.
"Ah!—"
A chorus of gasps filled the air as many people stared in shock.
Just as Wang Xian was about to be caught off guard and thrown off the stage by Yang Ji, he suddenly hooked his foot and pulled himself back onto the stage.
"Pity!"
Yang Ji and Han Bin, who was in the audience, both sighed softly.
Wang Xian's "Black Evil Fist" was not without flaws, but it was extremely difficult to catch them. Yang Ji had captured his attack rhythm and sealed his punches over ten times before finally catching him off guard and throwing him off the stage.
But now, Wang Xian had pulled himself back onto the stage, creating distance and adopting a defensive stance. It would be much harder to get another chance.
"This guy is indeed no ordinary person."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
That last palm strike, he had calculated it would throw Wang Xian off the stage, but he had reacted so quickly. Truly, he was a standout from a military family.
"I haven't fought this hard in a long time."
Wang Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up. Yang Ji's last palm strike had injured his internal organs. Although Wang Xian's punching power was extremely strong, his resistance to attacks was clearly not as good as Yang Ji's.
"Your strength may not match mine, but your combat instinct is terrifying. I doubt there are many in the entire martial hall who can surpass you. However, I cannot lose in the martial arts examination. Be careful, I'm going to use the Steel Finger!"
Wang Xian openly declared his move.
Wang Xian rarely spoke and even more rarely admitted he was inferior to someone, unless that person earned his respect. The "Steel Finger" was extremely powerful, and using it would result in either death or serious injury. Without personal grudges, Wang Xian was unwilling to easily make enemies.
"Ha, same here, I haven't fought this hard in a long time. Go ahead and make your move!"
Yang Ji smiled.
Although they were opponents, Wang Xian's straightforward and bold personality made Yang Ji feel a sense of mutual respect. However, despite this, neither Yang Ji nor Wang Xian held back.
"Clang!"
Wang Xian's ten fingers moved, producing a metallic sound, as if they were not made of flesh and blood but of steel. An extremely dangerous aura instantly emanated from Wang Xian.
Yang Ji's eyes were fixed on Wang Xian's "Steel Finger," and a surge of blood energy flowed to his palm. His thumb and the other four fingers instantly came together, forming a blood-red hand knife.
"This guy..."
In the crowd, Lu Ling's beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, sensing something.
Before anyone could react, the stage had already undergone a dramatic change.
"Boom!"
Yang Ji and Wang Xian, like arrows released from a bow, instantly leaped from opposite ends of the stage, charging towards each other. A loud boom echoed, the ground trembled, and the entire steel stage seemed to be about to collapse.
In a flash, Wang Xian's two fingers extended like the sharpest daggers, directly aiming for Yang Ji's chest. If this finger struck, it would likely pierce through the lungs.
Everyone held their breath, watching the stage with tense expressions. In the previous match, Wang Xian had defeated his opponent using the "Steel Finger."
"They are about to decide the winner."
This thought flashed through many people's minds.
"Crack!"
Just as Wang Xian's "Steel Finger" was about to pierce Yang Ji's chest, a red light flashed, and a blood-red palm suddenly appeared in front of Wang Xian, splitting his index and ring fingers with a thunderous force. A crack of bone echoed, and Wang Xian's expression changed dramatically as his ten steel fingers were struck.
Wang Xian's ten fingers, as hard as steel, were extremely tough, but the spaces between them were clearly not as well trained.
In the moment of their clash, Wang Xian felt as if he had been struck by a knife. For the first time in the fight, he felt a sense of danger.
"Whoosh!"
Before anyone could react, Wang Xian's left hand shot out, and his five fingers extended, aiming for Yang Ji's chest. If this strike hit, the wound would be unstoppable, at least a serious injury.
In the martial arts examination, this was already considered a "heavy hand." However, Yang Ji's strength forced Wang Xian to use this method.
"Bang!"
Just as Wang Xian changed his move, Yang Ji's left palm, a blood-red hand like a snake, circled around Wang Xian's sharp fingers and struck his wrist, causing a surge of electric current. Wang Xian's hand trembled and quickly retracted.
Once, twice, three times...
In a short time, Wang Xian attacked dozens of times, but each time, Yang Ji skillfully avoided his fingers and struck his palm veins.
After over thirty attacks, not a single one was successful.
Wang Xian's arm veins became increasingly numb, affecting his fingers and making his attacks less effective.
Wang Xian's "rhythm" was completely controlled by Yang Ji, and as the fight progressed, his ten "Steel Fingers," though invincible, could not touch Yang Ji.
As one side weakened and the other strengthened, Wang Xian was pushed back, his momentum waning. Despite his powerful strength, he could not fully unleash it.
Bang!
Yang Ji's palm lightly tapped Wang Xian's chest, and Wang Xian was immediately thrown several meters away, motionless.
The entire venue was silent, the crowd in shock. They alternated their gaze between Wang Xian and Yang Ji, unsure of what had just happened. The fight had been too fast for anyone to fully understand.
Wang Xian stood there like a statue, his expression uncertain. Just as everyone thought he would launch another attack—
"I lost!"
Wang Xian's lips parted, and three words came out. He then turned and left the stage without looking back.
Boom!
These simple three words caused a stir in the martial hall. Many people felt their blood rush, especially those who had bet on Wang Xian, who were nearly driven mad.
"Wang Xian lost, he actually lost—how is that possible?!"
"Black Evil Fist, the hardest martial art to master in the military!"
"Wang Xian, come on, the match isn't over, why give up like this?"
"What a joke, this Yang Ji is so strong!"
...
The crowd was in an uproar. Both Yang Ji and Wang Xian were far beyond the level of most Breath Realm students. Only a few could see the true situation.
In the final moment, Wang Xian had actually fallen off the stage, and Yang Ji had clearly pushed him lightly to save face. Wang Xian understood this, which is why he admitted defeat, not because he had lost the will to fight.
What was Wang Xian?
The most outstanding talent from a military family, a martial arts genius. Throughout his journey, he had almost always won quickly, never losing. The powerful "Black Evil Fist" combined with the "Steel Finger" secret technique had lost to this unknown Yang Ji, especially when Yang Ji's strength was clearly inferior to Wang Xian's!
This fact made many people shudder. How rich must one's combat instinct and skills be to defeat a martial arts genius like Wang Xian with inferior strength?
The stage was abuzz with discussion, and Yang Ji and Wang Xian's match was undoubtedly the most exciting of the day. However, Yang Ji had no time to dwell on this. After the military officer announced the result, he lightly leaped off the stage.
"Let's go!"
Yang Ji pulled Lu Ling and left the venue. This match would be talked about for a long time, and Yang Ji would be the focus of many people's attention.
Yang Ji had no intention of standing there, enjoying the crowd's attention.
