Chapter 44: Strange Opponent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Nan focused his gaze on his opponent. For the first time since he partic.i.p.ated in this compet.i.tion, he felt a trace of excitement and vigilance.

This was his fifth round of the elimination round.

In the fourth round of the elimination rounds, the opponent he had encountered was still not strong. He was probably only a third-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist and had easily won.

He originally thought that he would not encounter any powerful opponents in the fifth round, but reality surprised him.

Although this rather old, dark-skinned, and weak opponent did not look special at first glance, Chu Nan only took a glance at his standing posture and immediately made a judgment.

It was an expert!

Although it only seemed to be a casual standing posture, Chu Nan could deduce from the various statistics that the other party’s entire body was in a state where he could exert strength at any time. Moreover, every part of his body had been adjusted to the optimal state. If he was attacked, he would

definitely suffer the quickest and fiercest counterattack.

‘With the combat experience of tens of thousands of battles in the virtual s.p.a.ce, Chu Nan was almost certain that this opponent was definitely an experienced martial artist who had experienced countless battles.

Although the other party did not reveal his Internal Breath, his exposed skin was tight and s.h.i.+ny. Every muscle was perfectly shaped. Clearly, he had at least reached the high-stage Overlord Body Realm.

Of course, other than these strength characteristics that could be determined by experience, there was another trait that attracted Chu Nan’s attention.

He was a foreigner.

This young martial artist’s name was Azalu, and his compet.i.tion number was 5083. He came from the Famaal Chief Alliance about 300 light-years away from the outer spiral arm where the West Cloud Planet was at. He was not a martial artist from the Earth Federation.

Chu Nan did not know how the other party came to West Cloud Planet from more than 300 light-years away. He only knew that the other party was an expert, and that was enough.

After hearing the referee announce the start of the compet.i.tion, Chu Nan slowly a.s.sumed a posture and focused on waiting for the other party to attack. He planned to make some judgment through the other party’s actions before planning a counterattack.

However, he did not expect that the other party would also put on a defensive posture like him, looking like he was waiting for him to attack first.

After the two of them were in a deadlock for a while, Chu Nan could not help but laugh when he saw that the other party’s face was still black as if he was a rock.

After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward with his left foot and exerted strength in his leg. He had already rushed to Azalu, twisted his body, and threw a punch.

Just as Chu Nan moved, Azalu had already reacted. However, his reaction was not intense and his movements were not big. His body sank slightly until Chu Nan threw a punch. Then, he turned around and threw a punch as well.

This punch happened to be aimed at the s.p.a.ce under Chu Nan’s left ribs.

Be it the angle or speed, this punch could be called perfect.

Chu Nan praised in his mind and twisted his body again. His right fist that he had just punched turned left and changed the Shooting Horse Rush Fist to a Sitting Horse Cup Fist.

Bang!

Although Azalu’s reaction was extremely fast and he had already changed his move the moment Chu Nan changed it, he still could not completely dodge and his right arm was firmly struck by Chu Nan’s punch.

However, after Chu Nan’s punch landed, it was as if he had struck a huge rock. Not only was he unable to cause any damage to Azalu, he even vaguely felt a soft counterforce that was completely different from his image.

Although this force was soft, it directly penetrated Chu Nan’s fist and entered the meridians of his right arm. It instantly made him feel that his entire right arm was a little sore and weak, so this punch naturally could not carry much force.

Chu Nan was shocked and hurriedly retreated. He focused his mind and circulated the Nine Revolutions Technique. A trace of Internal Breath emerged from his dantian and seeped into his right arm to resolve the strange soft force.

He raised his head to look at Azalu and discovered that he still had a stone face and continued to put on a defensive posture. It was as if Chu Nan’s attack and counterattack had no effect on him.

Internal Breath Realm expert?

Chu Nan looked at Azalu in confusion.

If Azalu was not an Internal Breath expert, then when Chu Nan punched his arm earlier, he would not have suffered the soft counterattack that should have been mixed with Internal Breath. However, if he was really an Internal Breath expert, why did his punch earlier not contain Internal Breath?

Moreover, if he was really an Internal Breath expert, why did he have to be so careful around a low-level Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist like him and put on a defensive appearance?

Of course, it was impossible to figure this out in a short period of time. Chu Nan paused for a moment. When he saw that Azalu did not have the intention to attack, he rushed forward and threw another punch.

This time, Chu Nan did not bother with so many tricks. Instead, he faced Azalu’s counterattack with a punch.

Bang!

‘The two fists collided, emitting a m.u.f.fled bang, causing the audience watching the battle to be unable to help but exclaim.

Chu Nan quickly pulled back and circulated the Nine Revolutions Technique again. He pulled out a trace of Internal Breath and inserted it into his right fist, neutralizing the trace of soft Internal Breath that Azalu had penetrated through when their fists collided.

Looking at Azalu who was still maintaining his poker face, Chu Nan was even more puzzled.

‘What was wrong with this guy?

In the punch just now, Chu Nan could very accurately sense that the force contained in Azalu’s counterattack was as high as 393.489841 kilograms.

If measured by the level of an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist, this force was already quite good, enough to be compared to most third-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artists or even fourth-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artists.

However, this punch still did not contain Internal Breath, causing the force of the punch to be far inferior to any Internal Breath Martial Artist that Chu Nan had previously fought.

However, that trace of soft Internal Breath still seeped through his fist.

If he did not take precautions, Chu Nan was certain that even if it was only a trace of soft and gentle Internal Breath, it was enough to destroy the meridians in his body and greatly affect his combat strength.

The problem was that although this guy could clearly mobilize his Internal Breath, he did not have to directly defeat Chu Nan with his fist and had to rely on such a slow infiltration method?

“What cultivation method is this?” Chu Nan thought for a moment and could not help but ask.

Azalu glanced at Chu Nan with an expressionless face.

“You’re really unwilling to say?” Chu Nan coldly snorted and stepped forward with his left foot. He threw another Shooting Horse Rush Fist.

“Since you’re unwilling to say, I’ll find out myself!”
