Chapter 371 First Match Co.
As if hearing the elder's thoughts, Lei Yixuan suddenly changed tactics.
Instead of waiting for Chen Haoran to make the move, he took a deep breath and then shifted his right hand to his waist as if guiding the sword into an invisible scabbard.
His left hand mimicked the act of steadying it, his fingers pressing lightly against the air. Then, in a single fluid motion, he bent his knees, his body sinking into a poised stance.
Chen Haoran's expression flickered. "Oh? Trying something new?"
Lei Yixuan didn't answer. Instead, his body glowed as his sword vibrated with energy.
Then, in the blink of an eye, he vanished.
Gasps rang out in the stadium.
"He disappeared?!"
"No, look closely—he's moving too fast to see!"
Chen Haoran frowned, his gaze sharpening.
Suddenly, Lei Yixuan appeared beside him, his sword swinging in a deadly arc.
But Chen Haoran was ready.
He stepped back, his palms glowing with energy.
He threw a punch, but his opponent had already disappeared.
His eyes darted, searching for any sign of his opponent.
The crowd held its breath, the arena silent except for the sounds of wind whistling past.
And then, suddenly, Chen Haoran cried out.
There was a flash of silver, and blood spurted from his shoulder.
He stumbled, his face twisted in pain.
But he refused to fall.
He spun, his arm glowing with energy.

Lei Yixuan appeared in front of him, his blade glinting in the sun.
Chen Haoran gritted his teeth.
He didn't have the time to activate the Golden Armor Qi, which was why his shoulder had already taken the attack.
But this was a small price to pay for being able to react quickly.
And as the crowd watched, they realized that Chen Haoran wasn't just trying to block or defend the attack but was instead counterattacking.
Lei Yixuan didn't respond, his gaze focused on his opponent.
Then, in a sudden movement, he thrust his hand into his robes and withdrew a dagger.
The blade was short and thin, its surface etched with intricate designs.
It looked fragile, but the power contained within it was immense.
"What is that?!" the crowd exclaimed.
"It looks like a hidden weapon!"
"A dagger?" Chen Haoran frowned, his expression serious.
Lei Yixuan's hands began to glow with energy, and the dagger flickered with power.
"Let's see how you handle this," he said, his voice low and steady.
"Bring it," Chen Haoran replied, his body tensing as he prepared for the attack.
Lei Yixuan narrowed his eyes and then lunged forward, his movements swift and precise.
Chen Haoran's eyes widened as the blade came within inches of his face.
He barely had time to dodge, and the crowd gasped as the weapon sliced through the air, creating a sharp whistle.
Lei Yixuan was unfazed.
He swung the dagger again, and Chen Haoran leaped back, his expression grim.
"That was close," he thought.
"Too close."
The audience cheered as the tension mounted.
But Chen Haoran and Lei Yixuan were so focused that they forgot how big the arena was. Before they knew it, they were standing on the edge of the platform.
Chen Haoran was the first one to notice this, and he knew that if he dodged at the right time, he could win the match, but he did not want to win like that.
So, instead, he picked the right moment and then lunged at Lei Yixuan, causing him to stagger and stumble backward.
Seeing this, Chen Haoran jumped up and created some distance between them; then, with a deep breath, he used up all the Qi left in his body and unleashed his finishing move.
"Golden Earth Shattering Fist!"
The air in the arena quaked as the ground trembled, a massive golden fist materializing from Chen Haoran's aura.
The fist rushed toward Lei Yixuan, the pressure threatening to crush him.
Lei Yixuan gritted his teeth, his resolve hardening.
He wouldn't let himself lose.
