Chapter 145: Play a Little Longer

Yu Han’s expression shifted instantly. He understood all too well what had happened to Wang Chushan.

That technique was something he had taught him himself, meant to be used solely as a last resort for survival!

Such a method inflicted severe damage on the human body. Unless faced with a truly desperate situation, one would never resort to it.

"Chushan, stop!"

Yu Han shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was completely drowned out by Wang Chushan’s furious roar!

Red Dragon clenched his teeth, feeling even less certain now that Xiao Ye possessed the capability to defeat the man before him.

Yet, contrary to expectations, Xiao Ye on the stage merely shook his head, a smile still lingering on his lips.

The man before him had indeed stirred up a sufficient level of excitement within him.

"No matter, I still want to play a little longer!"

What was happening to Wang Chushan should be capable of boosting a person's physical strength in a short amount of time!

At the same time, however, strength that did not truly belong to one would always exact its toll in other ways.

Xiao Ye had once heard of such things, but he held absolute contempt for them.

Relying on a temporary expedient to make oneself stronger was merely fleeting.

Though he was unclear about what exactly Wang Chushan had done, Xiao Ye’s interest was piqued. He also wanted to see to what realm Wang Chushan's technique could elevate his power.

By this moment, Wang Chushan’s entire body was flushed red, and his body temperature had broken past the limits of a normal human!

His heartbeat raced. Aside from a shred of lingering consciousness, his mind held only a single objective: to kill the man standing before him!

Seeing Wang Chushan clamber back to his feet, Yu Han’s expression turned somewhat grim.

He understood that every step Wang Chushan took now placed an immense burden on his body!

Resuming his movement, Wang Chushan’s speed and power reached a completely new tier!

Xiao Ye could feel that the man before him had transformed into a wild beast, searching for any opportunity to slay him!

This was one of the side effects brought by the technique: a transient explosion of power, accompanied by accelerated metabolism and the gradual fading of consciousness.

Seeing Wang Chushan charge right up to him and throw a punch, Xiao Ye attempted to parry, only to discover that the impact behind the blow far exceeded his expectations.

Meeting the fists head-on, Xiao Ye was forced back a few steps—a rare occurrence!

"Your strength has indeed increased dramatically. Now let me see what else you are capable of!"

Xiao Ye shouted loudly, his own aura surging continuously at the same time!

As if understanding Xiao Ye’s provocation, before his fist had even fully landed, Wang Chushan followed up with a knee strike accompanied by a heavy impact!

A rapid succession of knee strikes slammed into Xiao Ye’s abdomen.

By this point, no one favored Xiao Ye anymore; he was no longer facing a normal human, but an unflagging machine!

Following the loudest impact yet, the two figures separated. Just as everyone present assumed Xiao Ye would cough up blood and collapse to the ground, they noticed that Wang Chushan’s leg had suffered an unnatural twist.

During that sheer test of physical resilience just moments ago, Xiao Ye had directly fractured Wang Chushan’s leg!

Even so, standing now on a single foot, eyes blazing red, Wang Chushan continued to exhale plumes of hot steam.

Xiao Ye, on his part, looked somewhat disheveled, his hair messy and his clothes stained with dust and blood!

Wang Chushan’s suddenly magnified strength had indeed caused him some trouble.

Now understanding the mechanics of the technique and knowing where Wang Chushan’s limit lay, Xiao Ye spat out a mouthful of saliva and said coldly, "I don't have time to play with you anymore. Let me send you on your final journey."

With a roar of fury, Wang Chushan lunged forward, attempting to tear Xiao Ye apart limb from limb.

It wasn't that his injuries didn't hurt; rather, in his state of hyper-excited frenzy, aside from the strange sensation coming from his leg, he could feel nothing else.

Xiao Ye began to move. Before Wang Chushan could even register the motion, a straight punch slammed directly into his face, sending him flying backward.

Before he could even hit the ground, Xiao Ye materialized behind him like a phantom, sweeping him down with another kick that stirred up a billowing cloud of dust.

Lying on the ground, Wang Chushan’s bodily hormones could no longer sustain such a high level of excitement. Pain rushed into his brain from every corner, and his consciousness began to rapidly fracture.

"Didn't you want to test our strength earlier? I'll satisfy you now!" Landing on the ground, Xiao Ye looked down at Wang Chushan’s face and ruthlessly delivered a punch.

Reacting with extreme mental speed, Wang Chushan caught the blow, but the remainder of Xiao Ye's onslaught followed immediately.

His rapidly thrown punches generated a gale of pressure, whipping up the surrounding dust into a swirling halo around Xiao Ye's body.

Every single strike carried the maximum force Xiao Ye could muster.

Although Wang Chushan managed to retaliate, neither the frequency nor the power of his blows could contend with Xiao Ye.

Finally, amidst a violent collision, Xiao Ye halted his fists.

A small crater had formed where Wang Chushan lay—the mark left by the rapid pounding—and half of his body was embedded into the earth.

By the time the onlookers fully registered what had happened, Wang Chushan had lost all signs of life.

He lay motionless on the ground, his entire body covered in bruises from the beating, every bone shattered to dust.

Xiao Ye had won this arena match!

No one dared to believe it. A battle of this caliber was something most present had never witnessed in their lives. They no longer had any metric for Xiao Ye’s strength; etched into their minds was only a single word: monstrous.

Xiao Ye was too strong—strong to a degree that defied the heavens!

Red Dragon scrambled to his feet, his jaw hanging open, his eyes filled with profound shock.

"Is this what a true powerhouse looks like?"

The alluring woman who had been so poised moments before seemed to have lost her soul in that instant, staring blankly at Xiao Ye.

"Are you not going to announce the result? I assume there are no objections left."

Xiao Ye’s calm, piercing voice rang out across the venue.

"I—I announce that this match is won by Xiao Ye!"

The elderly man’s voice trembled slightly; he still could not comprehend how Xiao Ye had emerged victorious.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Recovering rapidly from his shock, Yu Han let out a furious roar toward the stage!

How could he possibly believe that his most prized disciple had once again died at Xiao Ye’s hands?!

Screaming in rage, Yu Han surged to his feet, glaring at Xiao Ye with a ferocious expression.

"Yu Han, don't push your luck! This match is already over!"

Red Dragon stood up simultaneously, shouting back at Yu Han as the two factions locked into a tense standoff!

"Let's see just how many people here dare to stop me!"

Cursing aloud, Yu Han’s face twisted with heightened agitation as he vaulted straight up onto the stage!

Yu Han’s intent was crystal clear: he cared nothing for the rules or the circumstances; he was taking matters into his own hands!

Old grudges and new hatreds—they had to be settled right here and now!
