After resting for four hours, the finals finally began. Jian Chen and Tie Ta walked onto the stage at the same time, standing ten meters apart.
Around the arena, there were already more than a thousand students surrounding it. The entire arena was surrounded by water.
Jian Chen looked at Tie Ta indifferently and smiled. He praised,"Tie Ta, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You actually made it into the finals.”
Tie Ta's face reddened slightly when he heard Jian Chen's praise. He actually revealed a sliver of embarrassment, but even so, Jian Chen could clearly see the excitement on his face. Tie Ta smiled and said,"Changyang Xiang Tian, you are also very powerful.”
Jian Chen stretched his limbs and smiled,"Tie Ta, this will be the last battle. This time, the Freshman King will be chosen between the two of us. This time, you have to use your full strength. Defeat me and you'll be the Newcomer King. The Class 3 Monster Cores you obtain will be worth at least a few hundred purple coins, enough to support your parents for the rest of their lives.”
Hearing this, Tie Ta's eyes burned with passion as he fiercely nodded."Changyang Xiang Tian, I'll definitely use my full strength. You must be careful.”
"I'm not that easy to defeat." Jian Chen nodded with a smile.”
"Boom!"
At this moment, the bell that signified the start of the match suddenly rang out. At the same time, Tie Ta also began to move forward, rushing towards Jian Chen. However, when he arrived in front of Jian Chen, Tie Ta quickly stretched out his hands towards Jian Chen. He planned to use his divine power to lift Jian Chen up and throw him off the stage.
Jian Chen smiled. He had long since become familiar with Tie Ta's technique. In the previous matches, Tie Ta had always used this technique. Once he was captured, it would be very difficult for him to break free.
Jian Chen took a step back, easily dodging Tie Ta's hands. He then formed a fist with his right hand and punched at Tie Ta's chest with eighty percent of his strength.
Jian Chen's punch was extremely fast and his timing was extremely good. Tie Ta had no time to dodge.
"Bang!"
With a heavy sound, Jian Chen's fist landed squarely on Tie Ta's chest. However, in the next moment, Jian Chen's expression changed slightly as he looked at Tie Ta with a hint of surprise. He realized that his fist did not seem to have landed on a person's body, but rather on an extremely hard wall. Tie Ta's body was extremely strong, so strong that it did not make sense.
Jian Chen's punch had caused Tie Ta to stagger back a few steps, but he quickly steadied himself. With a roar, he charged at Jian Chen once more and raised his fist to strike Jian Chen's chest. Jian Chen's punch, which contained eighty percent of his strength, had actually not caused him any injuries.
Jian Chen's face gradually revealed a sliver of excitement. Seeing Tie Ta's fist, he did not dodge at all. He also threw a punch with ten percent of his strength.
The two fists collided fiercely in the air, erupting with a dull sound. Even the many students below the arena could hear it clearly.
As the two fists collided, Jian Chen couldn't help but quickly retreat. He only stopped after retreating ten meters. At this moment, his right hand was already trembling. It was clear that Jian Chen had suffered quite a bit when he fought against Tie Ta. Even with his Saint Force, his body was still unable to endure it.
Tie Ta, on the other hand, had only retreated two steps. His expression remained the same, and he did not seem to have suffered any injuries.
Jian Chen rubbed his swollen right hand. After two exchanges, he had already understood that it was not a wise choice to fight Tie Ta head on. Tie Ta was not only terrifyingly strong, but his body was also unbelievably tough. If he fought head on, even someone who was a level stronger than Tie Ta would not be his match. The only way to win was to rely on speed.
"Tie Ta, your strength has already exceeded my expectations. I'm going to use my full strength now.”Jian Chen slowly walked forward and smiled.
Tie Ta chuckled,"Come on, Changyang Xiang Tian, you can't hurt me."”Tie Ta's tone was filled with confidence.
Jian Chen didn't waste any more time. When he was only five or six meters away from Tie Ta, he suddenly changed his pace. His feet moved in a mysterious manner on the stage, and his body swayed left and right at an extremely fast speed. Suddenly, he appeared behind Tie Ta. Before Tie Ta could react, his fists had already ruthlessly struck Tie Ta's back.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Dong!"
Muffled sounds kept coming from the arena, and they were so dense that they seemed to form a line. Tie Ta's body uncontrollably charged forward from the powerful impact. He had no time to turn around.
"Ha!"
Tie Ta roared as he tried his best to stabilize his body. He quickly turned around and swung his fists at Jian Chen.
Just as Tie Ta's fist struck out, Jian Chen's body lightly leaped up two meters, just enough to dodge Tie Ta's fist. In the air, Jian Chen's legs kicked out at Tie Ta. Each kick carried a great amount of power, and the powerful impact caused Tie Ta to continuously retreat.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Dong!"
Jian Chen kicked out a dozen times before landing on the ground. At this time, Tie Ta's face was already bruised from Jian Chen's kicks.
Landing on the ground, Jian Chen didn't stop moving. He spun on the spot and bent his legs down. His right leg made a 180-degree turn on the ground and swept toward Tie Ta's legs at an extremely fast speed.
"Bang!"
Tie Ta fell onto the stage with a somersault, but he immediately got up and charged at Jian Chen with a roar.
Jian Chen and Tie Ta once again began to fight fiercely. Due to Tie Ta's innate strength and his body being frighteningly tough, Jian Chen had already understood that it would be extremely unwise to use brute force against Tie Ta. Thus, Jian Chen had completely relied on his agility to fight against Tie Ta. Although Tie Ta's body was extremely tough, However, Jian Chen's repeated attacks had landed on the same spot on Tie Ta's body, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth in pain.
The situation was completely one-sided. Jian Chen relied on his speed and his previous life's battle experience to beat Tie Ta, who had the upper hand, into fleeing. Even though Tie Ta would occasionally fight back, his attacks were unable to hit Jian Chen at all. He couldn't even touch the corner of Jian Chen's clothes.
This scene caused all the students below the stage to be shocked. Whether it was Jian Chen's movement or the speed of his attacks, they were far beyond ordinary people, causing the thousands of students below to watch with great interest, opening their eyes.
On the platform, Bai En looked at Jian Chen with admiration and murmured,"This kid isn't simple. He actually has so much fighting experience, and his speed isn't slow either. His name seems to be Changyang Xiang Tian, and from his name, he seems to be from the Changyang clan of Lore City. It seems like I'll have to report this to the headmaster later.”
The battle on the stage continued for a while before Tie Ta finally couldn't take it anymore. He shouted,"Stop, stop, I won't fight anymore, I won't fight anymore, I admit defeat!”
Jian Chen stopped chasing Tie Ta and smiled at him,"Why did you stop?"
Tie Ta rubbed the swollen areas on his body and looked at Jian Chen pitifully. He said gloomily,"Your movements were too fast. I couldn't even see clearly. I couldn't hit you at all.”
"Are you going to give up on first place just like that?" Jian Chen smiled.”Although Jian Chen did not hold back against Tie Ta, Tie Ta's skin was thick and his body was extremely strong. He did not suffer much damage at all.
Tie Ta nodded and said in a muffled voice,"I can't beat you, so I don't want first place. Second place isn't bad either. A Class 2 Monster Core can be sold for quite a bit of money.”
Afterwards, Jian Chen and Tian Mu Xiong left the arena. As for the third place, it was decided by Ka Di Liang and Tian Mu Xiong. After a round of competition, Tian Mu Xiong won and took the third place.
After the top three were announced, Jian Chen was called up to the platform. Vice headmaster Bai En walked up to Jian Chen and looked at him with admiration. He then looked away to the thousand students below the platform and said,"Fellow students, this year's Freshman Martial Arts Competition has officially come to an end. I now announce that the Freshman King of this year's competition will be the student Changyang Xiang Tian, who has reached the 8th Saint Force layer.”
As soon as Bai En finished speaking, a round of applause could be heard from below the stage. However, when they heard that the Freshman King was only at the 8th Saint Force layer, many of the freshmen who had reached the 9th Saint Force layer felt indignant. However, that was all. After all, they had all seen Jian Chen's strength. In front of Jian Chen's speed, which was so fast that it made them dizzy, it was difficult for them to dodge.
"The new students this year are really useless. In front of so many people at the 9th Saint Force layer, a kid at the 8th Saint Force layer actually won the title of New Generation King.”
"That's right, the freshmen today are really useless. Not only is the Newcomer King at the 8th Saint Force layer, I heard that the dark-skinned kid who got second place is also at the 8th Saint Force layer. I really don't know what those freshmen who have reached the 9th Saint Force layer are for.”
Two seniors wearing the academy's uniform stood in the middle of the crowd as they discussed. Their voices were filled with ridicule towards the new students who had reached the 6th Saint Force layer.
Hearing their words, a senior standing not far from them said,"You can't say that either. It's not that the 9th Saint Force layer students are weak, it's just that these two 8th Saint Force layer students are too strong. The second place student, the dark-skinned kid, is terrifyingly strong. Didn't you see how many 9th Saint Force layer students were directly thrown off the stage by him? If it were us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do this. As for the first place student, his strength is even more terrifying. Didn't you notice that he's extremely fast in both dodging and attacking? I'm afraid that even if we go up, it'll be very difficult for us to dodge.”
Other than them, there were also quite a few seniors who were discussing amongst themselves. They had all been in the academy for several years, and they were all extremely surprised by the results of this year's Freshmen Tournament. There were quite a few newcomers who had reached the 9th Saint Force layer, but they never thought that two of the top three would be freshmen who had only reached the 8th Saint Force layer.
Afterwards, on the platform, Jian Chen received a Class 3 Monster Core as a reward. This Class 3 Monster Core was dark red in color and was slightly larger than the Class 1 Monster Core his big brother Changyang Hu had given him.
Holding it in his hand, Jian Chen could clearly feel the powerful energy hidden within the monster core. Although this powerful energy was insignificant compared to the Qi he had in his previous life, it was extremely powerful to Jian Chen now.
Aside from the monster core, Jian Chen had also obtained a medal. The medal was completely made of gold and was engraved with strange patterns.
From what Jian Chen had heard, there wasn't any information about this medal, so he didn't know what it was used for. However, just as he was wondering, the vice headmaster Bai En explained,"This medal can only be obtained by the champion of each competition. As long as you hold this medal, you will be able to receive an additional Class 1 Monster Core every month. Other than that, you will also be able to freely enter the first five floors of the library.”
