"Chuxun, today I will break your bones one by one, making sure you can never rise again!" Chu Jie, clad in his rock armor, sneered coldly, then slammed his fists together, creating a deafening sound.
This rock armor not only provided him with formidable defense, but it also enhanced his strength to eight times that of a normal person, making it a perfect balance of offense and defense.
"Too many words!" Since the fight had already started, Chuxun wasn't going to give his opponent any chance. His eyes grew cold, and with a powerful force, his right foot suddenly stomped the ground.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the green bricks beneath him shattered and quickly sank, forming a deep footprint. At the same time, the fabric of Chuxun's shoes broke apart, revealing his bare feet.
In the next instant, Chuxun's toes dug into the ground like iron hooks, then with a sudden burst of power, he surged forward like a hunting cheetah.
"Squat, kneel, grip with your toes, keep your foot soles empty," In the seven-day brutal training, Chu Kuangren had taught Chuxun how to "move" during battle using these fourteen words.
If one observed closely, they would see that Chuxun's toes were like grappling hooks, digging deep into the tiles with every step, allowing him to harness greater recoil.
Power starts from the ground, and that's exactly how it works!
"How fast!" Seeing Chuxun appear right before him in the blink of an eye, Chu Jie's face changed slightly. He immediately swung his fist toward Chuxun.
"Let's see your strength first!" Chuxun's eyes grew colder, his waist twisted slightly, then he funneled his body's power into his right arm.
With a sharp sound of air splitting, Chuxun's pale fist collided violently with Chu Jie's right fist, which was covered in rock armor, creating a deafening crash.
The violent clash of power created a gust of air between them, and Chu Jie felt an overwhelming force surge toward him, shaking his body violently and throwing him off balance, causing him to fly backward.
Boom!
In just one exchange, the rock-armored, seemingly invincible Chu Jie was sent flying by Chuxun's punch, crashing into a large tree three to four meters away. The massive impact caused the tree, thick enough for two people to wrap their arms around, to snap and collapse to the ground. Chu Jie's body was covered by the tree's branches.
"Chuxun, you worthless piece of trash! I'm going to kill you!" Despite being sent flying and looking extremely embarrassed, Chu Jie wasn't injured. He quickly roared in anger and climbed back up.
With his rock armor, Chu Jie was better at defense than offense, and his armor's hardness was comparable to a second-grade alloy. It wasn't easy to injure him.
But even so, Chu Jie felt deeply humiliated. In his mind, he should be able to crush Chuxun easily, but now, it was Chuxun who was doing the crushing. He couldn't accept it.
"It seems this guy's defense is stronger than I thought." After landing his full-force punch on Chu Jie with no effect, Chuxun's pupils contracted slightly. He then smirked coldly and said sarcastically, "You call me trash, but now you're worse than trash."
"Die!" Chu Jie, enraged by Chuxun's words, shouted and charged at him again with all his might.
With his rock armor on, Chu Jie had grown to around two meters in height. The force of his charge was incredibly intimidating, almost like a rampaging bull, unstoppable.
"Overestimating yourself!" Watching Chu Jie charge at him like a mad bull, Chuxun's gaze grew even colder. His body sank slightly, and he crushed the tiles beneath his feet, lifting both arms to block Chu Jie's attack.
Since Chu Jie wanted to test strength, he would soon regret it!
Boom!
With a muffled thud, Chu Jie's powerful right fist was caught by Chuxun's arms, and the immense force caused Chuxun's body to sink slightly, with more tiles cracking beneath him.
At the same time, Chu Jie's charging momentum was completely neutralized, and his forward rush abruptly stopped.
"Die!" With his right fist fully caught and unable to break free, Chu Jie became even angrier. He swung his left fist toward Chuxun.
Boom!
Another muffled sound echoed, and Chu Jie's left fist was also firmly grasped by Chuxun, unable to move.
"Is this what you call true strength?" With both of Chu Jie's hands tightly gripped, Chuxun sneered, "Seems like it's nothing special."
"You bastard!" Chuxun's words deeply enraged Chu Jie. The more he struggled, the more he realized his efforts were futile. Chuxun's hands felt like iron pincers, gripping his wrists so tightly that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake him off.
The sight was utterly bizarre. A two-meter-tall rock giant was being completely dominated by a boy who appeared to be no older than sixteen, and the boy seemed to be doing it effortlessly. It was hard to believe.
"Useless," Chuxun mocked as he looked down at Chu Jie, who was still struggling in vain. He suddenly laughed. "Let me show you what true power is!"
His eyes turned cold. Chuxun took a deep breath and gathered all his strength, then shouted, "Rise!"
With a powerful shout, his muscles tightened, and the veins in his arms bulged. Chu Jie felt a force he couldn't resist, and before he knew it, his center of gravity collapsed, and his feet left the ground.
He was being lifted by Chuxun!
"Get lost!" With an angry shout, Chuxun exerted all his might and tossed the rock-armored Chu Jie into the air like a mountain god lifting a boulder.
"No!" When Chu Jie regained his senses, he found himself thrown eight to nine meters into the sky. His face changed drastically, and he watched in horror as the ground rapidly approached.
Boom!
With a massive crash, Chu Jie fell heavily to the ground. Though his rock armor protected him, the tremendous impact still caused internal injuries, and he coughed up blood, barely avoiding spitting it out.
"You bastard!" The shock of being defeated so easily by the very trash he had once scorned was unbearable for Chu Jie. Furious, he let out a loud roar, struggling to get up and continue fighting Chuxun.
"Got to admit, your shell is pretty tough," Chuxun said with a cold laugh after seeing Chu Jie take two heavy hits without losing his combat ability. "But don't think you're invincible because of that. I've got plenty of ways to deal with you!"
With that, Chuxun dashed toward Chu Jie again, grabbed his legs, and with a mighty heave, slammed him back into the ground.
Boom!
Another deafening crash as Chu Jie's body was thrown to the ground like a ragdoll. The violent impact, amplified by the rock armor, sent searing pain through his body, and his face turned pale from the agony.
But this was only the beginning!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was as though Chuxun was venting all his pent-up anger. He grabbed Chu Jie by the legs and, like a child throwing a doll in frustration, repeatedly hurled him to the ground.
For insulting me!
For sending people to kill me!
For challenging me to a duel!
I swear, I will not stop until you're broken!
Chuxun raged inwardly as he continued throwing Chu Jie. Meanwhile, Chu Jie, as if a puppet, suffered the violent impacts. His bones and internal organs were severely damaged, and soon, blood spurted from his mouth.
Boom!
Seeing Chu Jie cough up blood, Chuxun's eyes flashed with murderous intent. However, he eventually took a deep breath and let go of Chu Jie's legs, throwing him hard onto the ground.
Now was not the time to kill him!
"Now, who's the trash?" Chuxun asked coldly as he stood over Chu Jie's body, his foot pressing on his head.
"Pfft!" Defeated by the very person he had once looked down upon, and in such an embarrassing manner, Chu Jie felt a mix of anger and fear. His injuries were severe, and in his rage, he coughed up more blood and lost consciousness.
"Take your useless young master back!" Seeing Chu Jie faint, Chuxun sneered and turned to the family servants who had come with him. He ordered coldly.
"Yes, yes!" The servants exchanged terrified looks, not daring to speak, and quickly rushed to help Chu Jie up, fleeing in embarrassment.
"Hmph!" Chuxun sneered as he watched them leave with Chu Jie.
"Nice work, but don't get too cocky!" At that moment, Chu Kuangren approached. He didn't seem angry about Chuxun severely injuring a member of the same family. Instead, he nodded in approval, his face serious. "You could easily defeat Chu Jie because he's young and hasn't undergone formal training, and his strength is far weaker than yours. But if you fight someone else, you might not win so easily."
"Someone else? Teacher, do you mean Chu Qing?" Hearing Chu Kuangren's words, Chuxun's eyes sharpened. He asked, "Teacher, with my current strength, what are my chances against Chu Qing?"
"If it were Chu Qing half a month ago, it would be a 60/40
