Chapter 65

Huang Hai was furious upon hearing this. He had once broken Xiao Ran's ribs and extorted his pocket money. In the past, Xiao Ran was like a harmless little white rabbit in front of him, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. Now, this little white rabbit dared to mock him and show its fangs. How could he bear it!

His body flickered, like a ghostly shadow, making it hard to grasp. In an instant, he appeared to the right of Xiao Ran, clawing at his waist with a tricky angle, leaving endless possibilities. The true qi between his claws oscillated, as if the ghosts were wailing!

If he grabbed Xiao Ran, the latter would have no chance to resist, and his life would be at Huang Hai's mercy!

Xiao Dabao and his wife's faces changed when they saw this claw, because even they, at the third level of Qi cultivation, would have to be fully focused to deal with such an attack!

Moreover, if the waist and kidneys were injured, it would mean the end of their lineage!

Jin Zhengyang nodded with a smile when he saw this claw. Although Huang Hai did not have the qualifications to be recommended by a major sect, he was still a promising talent under his tutelage!

Most of the martial techniques of the human race belong to biomimetic techniques, imitating various fierce beasts, spiritual beasts, and even divine beasts!

Not only do they imitate their attack methods, but also their spiritual acupoints.

Because these spiritual beasts are creatures that have survived the most brutal natural selection!

Natural selection favors the fittest, and they are the most adaptable creatures in this world, each with its own unique strength!

And the human race can learn their strengths, which is the most powerful ability of the human race!

The claw technique practiced by Huang Hai is called Ghost Shadow Claw, which imitates the fierce beast, the Ghost Shadow Monkey.

Fierce beasts and spiritual beasts are not much different in essence, but fierce beasts refer to those with strong offensive capabilities, while spiritual beasts are less aggressive.

The Ghost Shadow Monkey is extremely aggressive, fond of eating the brains of living creatures, and its monkey claws can penetrate metal and stone! It is born with true qi, which is toxic, and it moves with extreme agility, like a ghost, hence its name!

Huang Hai practiced this claw technique and condensed the seven main spiritual acupoints of the Ghost Shadow Monkey, making him no weaker than an actual Ghost Shadow Monkey!

Although Huang Hai was angry, he was not careless when he attacked, fully expecting to capture Xiao Ran easily!

However, Xiao Ran slightly sidestepped and countered with a claw, his fingers moving unpredictably, completely enveloping Huang Hai's claw!

If Huang Hai's claw was like an elusive shadow, Xiao Ran's claw was like omnipresent sunlight, making the shadow disappear when it was illuminated!

No matter how Huang Hai changed, he could not escape Xiao Ran's grasp!

This move was precisely the Nine Yin Divine Claw from the Nine Yin Manual, but in Xiao Ran's hands, it was much stronger than the original version!

Huang Hai realized it was not good, feeling a pain on the back of his hand, and was immediately overpowered by Xiao Ran, whose claw pierced through his hand!

Then Huang Hai heard a bone-cracking sound, and half of his hand bones were crushed by Xiao Ran's claw!

At the same time, a surge of true qi entered his hand, breaking through his protective true qi and sealing several major acupoints, paralyzing half of his body!

He then flew into the air and landed heavily outside the arena, unable to get up for a long time!

To the onlookers, the two only touched claws, and the boastful Huang Hai was thrown out of the arena!

Xiao Dabao was overjoyed and shouted to those around him, "Did you see that, did you see that? That's my son!

My son is not a waste, my son is a genius!"

Wang Xiaofeng was also ecstatic, but she tried to remain calm, her face full of joy, but she said lightly, "Breaking a claw with a claw, not bad!"

Jin Zhengyang was somewhat surprised. As a fifth-level Qi cultivator, he could see every detail of the fight.

So he could tell that Wei Hai lost without any grievance, and Xiao Ran completely dominated him!

This Xiao Ran left an impression on him because Xiao Ran had not broken through the first level of Qi cultivation for ten years and was expelled from the martial arts hall by him!

But he did not expect that in less than a year, Xiao Ran had already reached the second level of Qi cultivation!

Could it be that my judgment was not sharp enough, and I failed to recognize his potential!

And the claw technique Xiao Ran used just now was at least a third or fourth-rate martial technique, quite good for a second-level Qi cultivator!

It seems this boy has had some extraordinary experiences!

Thinking of this, Jin Zhengyang said, "First match, number 71, Xiao Ran, wins!"

There were over a hundred participants in total, and only sixteen could advance to the semi-finals, which would take about three rounds to determine!

But from this one match, Jin Zhengyang could already tell that Xiao Ran would definitely make it to the semi-finals!

Below the arena, Huang Hai was helped up by someone. One of the men glared at Xiao Ran as he walked off the stage, raging, "You, Xiao Ran!

As fellow disciples, you actually attacked so viciously!"

Xiao Ran said coolly, "I already said I can't afford to be your fellow disciple!"

Then he said to Huang Hai, "Brother Wei Hai once broke one of my ribs. My math was taught by my Chinese teacher, so I'm not good at numbers. So I accidentally broke a few more of Brother Huang Hai's ribs. Please forgive me!"

Huang Hai spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but he calmed down, "Good... good!

You are ruthless, I remember this!

You opened four blood holes and broke eight bones in my hand. I will definitely make you pay for this!"

"I said my memory is not good!"

With that, Xiao Ran turned and left!

Actually, Huang Hai was still somewhat overconfident and did not choose the blade claws. These blade claws are like boxing gloves, but with five short blades at the fingertips. If he had used them, Xiao Ran's Nine Yin Divine Claw would not have been able to defeat him in one move!

Returning to his parents, Xiao Ran opened his attribute panel and saw that he had gained 100 points, secretly rejoicing!

It seems his guess was right; as long as he won in the competition, he would gain points!

Winning against an opponent of the same level gives 100 points, defeating an opponent one level higher gives 1000 points, and defeating an opponent two levels higher gives 2000 points!

Damn, isn't this forcing me to fight against higher-level opponents?!

Shifting his attention from the system, Xiao Ran focused on the arena!

In the first round of the tournament, Xiao Ran discovered that there were still some strong opponents in this competition!

Among the first and second-level Qi cultivators, there were some outstanding individuals, not to mention the three third-level Qi cultivators!

One of these third-level Qi cultivators was a student of the Jin Yang Martial Arts Hall, named Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian was extremely rugged, not yet twenty years old, but already with a full beard, and his tall stature rivaled Yao Ming.

He used the Five Thunder Hands technique.

This technique was once used by Lan Bifu, but it only looked like a stinky fart when he used it. However, when Jiang Xian used it, it truly felt like being struck by five thunderbolts!

Xiao Ran's Phoenix-Breaking Eye could faintly see that he had condensed several spiritual acupoints in his feet, suggesting that his movement techniques were also impressive. However, his opponent did not force him to use his movement techniques and was knocked off the arena by the fierce Five Thunder Hands!

The second third-level Qi cultivator was a student of the Pan Shi Martial Arts Hall, named Xiang Longxia!

He used the technique called Ascending Dragon Roar.

According to those who knew, this was a second-rate martial technique, but it was unknown whether Xiang Longxia had the subsequent techniques!

It was said that if he had the subsequent techniques, this technique could be practiced all the way to the Tianyuan realm, making it quite rare!

Xiang Longxia seemed to dislike keeping secrets and used his technique in various ways, forcing his opponent to kneel and admit defeat on the spot!

The third third-level Qi cultivator was the young lady of the Siku family in the city, Siku Yuehua!

Siku Yuehua was a swordsman with extremely high sword skills and a heavy killing aura!

If Jin Zhengyang had not intervened at the last moment, the first casualty of the preliminary round would have appeared!

Although Jin Zhengyang said it that way, he did not let the person die!

After Siku Yuehua defeated her opponent, she looked at Xiao Ran with a murderous intent before leaving the arena!

At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that Siku Yuehua seemed to be close friends with his ex-fiancée!

But she's my ex-fiancée, why are you still glaring at me?

Our relationship... there is no relationship, right?

By the afternoon, when the sun was at its peak, the first round of the preliminary round was over!

Then the second round of the preliminary round began!

Unfortunately, Xiao Ran was drawn first by Jin Zhengyang again!

"Damn, being drawn first twice, does the hall master have a grudge against me, wanting me to be eliminated early!

When I bought lottery tickets, it was hard to even match two numbers!

Is my luck really that bad!

It really burst at the wrong time!"

This time, Xiao Ran also brought a sword onto the stage, and his opponent was Xiang Longxia!
