Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the plaza in front of the Resplendent East Restaurant,

after Lu Yu agreed to fight a match, he was worried that the restaurant would be too small and get damaged, so they all came out here together.

At this moment, Lu Yu and Dai Chao stood facing each other.

Not far away were the City Lord’s Advisor, Qin Cheng, the restaurant owner of Resplendent East Restaurant, Wang Kang, and a group of onlookers.

A battle between Advanced Martial Masters was very rare, even more so when the opponent might very well be a Great Martial Master.

Many people stopped eating halfway and came here to watch the battle.

Soon, it was announced that the battle had begun.

As soon as the battle started, Dai Chao launched the first strike.

“Seven Killing Fists!”

Dai Chao’s aura was fully unleashed as he approached Lu Yu, punching him repeatedly.

The magnificent fist technique was imbued with the power of an Advanced Martial Master and was extremely forceful.

Lu Yu had already activated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Art and the Furnace skill. He invoked his inner strength skill to ignite his health vitality. With the stacking up of the two skills, the power of Lu Yu’s external skill increased by 28 times.

Combined with the boost from the Satiety State, the overall increase was more than 30 times now.

......

Even though Lu Yu hadn’t deployed his full strength yet, he still activated the Critical Hit Enhancement.

However, even so, the strength of Lu Yu’s external skill had already surpassed 100,000 kilograms, far surpassing Dai Chao’s peak strength.

After all, this was the first time that Lu Yu had fought a match. Thus, he had chosen to focus on defense at the start of the battle. He thought it would be safer this way. He wanted to figure out the difference in strength between the two before launching his attack.

Dai Chao’s punches were all effortlessly blocked by Lu Yu.

At first, Lu Yu was a bit unfamiliar, but later, as he gradually became familiar with Dai Chao’s moves, he intercepted them with practiced ease.

Most of the onlookers were Martial Master experts who were dining at the Resplendent East Restaurant earlier, so they naturally understood what was going on.

On the surface, Dai Chao seemed to have the upper hand and was continuously launching attack after attack.

However, in reality, Lu Yu had the upper hand all the while. Lu Yu was able to defend easily and had the option to attack at any time. In this battle, the advantage had always been on Lu Yu’s side.

The surrounding crowd were all astonished and amazed as the battle progressed.

“This Lu Yu… he seemed a bit unsure at first, but now he’s slowly becoming familiar with it.”

“Deputy Dojo Master Dai Chao wasn’t able to overcome him completely with his attacks. Lu Yu kept intercepting them so effortlessly.”

“Is this the difference in their strengths? Is he really a Great Martial Master?”

“It’s such an honor to be able to witness a Great Martial Master in battle!”

“…”

At this moment, Dai Chao, who was fighting in the plaza, had a grave expression on his face. He had also discovered the problem.

On the surface it appeared as if he had been launching ferocious attacks the whole time, and even forced Lu Yu into retreating slightly, continuously.

However, the truth was that Lu Yu had intercepted all of his attacks with ease. He did not cause Lu Yu to suffer any damage, and he had no results to show for all the effort he had put in.

Instead, it was Lu Yu who had been pressuring him and was in full control of this whole battle.

Dai Chao became more furious as he fought on.

Although he was only an Advanced Martial Master, he wasn’t the slightest bit afraid when facing a Grade 1 Great Martial Master expert. He had even defeated many Junior Great Martial Masters before.

Yet now, he was confronted with such a great humiliation that he had never experienced before.

Dai Chao no longer held back. He began to deploy his full strength, and his attacks became more ferocious than before.

“Deputy Dojo Master Dai has launched an all-out attack!” Someone in the crowd yelled excitedly.

At this moment, Lu Yu was more or less familiar with his opponent’s pace.

Although his combat skills were somewhat lacking, there was still a huge gap between the two fighters’ abilities.

Even without using his full strength at this point, Lu Yu was able to easily intercept all of Dai Chao’s attacks. In fact, it was practically a stroll in the park for Lu Yu.

Seeing that it was about time, Lu Yu also began to launch his attacks.

This was a good opportunity for him to use the newly obtained Flowing Fin Transformation skill and check out its effect.

Flowing Fin Transformation, activate!

All of a sudden, Lu Yu felt the skin and muscles around his body shrinking and softening, which was really weird.

In the face of Dai Chao’s all-out attack, Lu Yu didn’t retreat. Instead, he charged forward to receive it.

Lu Yu wanted to test out the defensive power of the Flowing Fin Transformation. After all, this was a C-class defensive skill.

They had already been fighting for a while, and Lu Yu was very familiar with Dai Chao’s strength by now. Even if he didn’t have any defense skill in operation, taking two hits from him wouldn’t be a problem for Lu Yu.

Dai Chao was very surprised to see that Lu Yu did not dodge at all and simply let him hit his body.

However, Dai Chao didn’t show any mercy during the fight. He punched Lu Yu’s chest with all his might.

When the nosy onlookers saw this, they were even more puzzled.

“Strange, with Lu Yu’s ability, he should have been able to block Deputy Dojo Master Dai’s hit. Why did he leave his body wide open to let Deputy Dojo Master Dai hit him directly?”

“Needless to say, he must have been careless. Deputy Dojo Master Dai grabbed the opportunity.”

“Why do I feel like this isn’t an opportunity but a crisis for Deputy Dojo Master Dai?”

“…”

At this moment, Dai Chao’s punch flashed out in the blink of an eye and directly hit Lu Yu’s chest.

However, Dai Chao’s expression turned odd when he made contact.

For ordinary martial arts practitioners, especially those above the level of Martial Master, they would have developed extremely strong bodies that were as hard as steel.

However, now, when his fist landed on Lu Yu’s body, it was as if it had landed on a piece of fluffy cotton.

He had clearly hit him, but it was as if his strength did not have any effect at all and was completely neutralized.

This was the first time Dai Chao had encountered such a situation and his facial expression displayed clearly the bewilderment he felt.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu was absolutely overjoyed.

After deploying the C-class skill Flowing Fin Transformation, its defensive ability was beyond his wildest expectations.

Dai Chao’s full-strength punch landed squarely on Lu Yu’s body, yet he didn’t even feel it. His defensive ability was absolutely incredible.

However, this was secondary. The most important thing was that Lu Yu discovered that the full power of Dai Chao’s punch could be preserved for one or two seconds after he absorbed it, and then he could turn it into his own power to deploy.

Lu Yu swiftly redirected the force from Dai Chao’s punch to counterattack.

The Crushing Punch was simple but extremely fast and forceful. There were no complicated moves, only pure speed and strength.

Dai Chao could not react to such a fast punch. He was hit by the punch and his body trembled.

“What a fast punch!” Dai Chao exclaimed inwardly.

At this moment, Dai Chao didn’t have time to think too much about it. He unleashed one punch after another at Lu Yu, without bothering about his own defense.

It wasn’t that he did not want to defend, but the truth was, he really wasn’t able to defend at all.

Lu Yu’s punches were simply too fast, and it was so alarmingly powerful that in just a few moves, Dai Chao found himself unable to bear it anymore.

However, in the face of Dai Chao’s relentless flurry of blows, Lu Yu didn’t dodge them at all but allowed himself to get hit.

After he was hit, he simply recycled the force from Dai Chao’s punch to counterattack.

A dramatic scene took place. The two of them were raining blows on each other, but Dai Chao’s blows were completely ineffective against Lu Yu.

And every time Lu Yu’s punch landed on Dai Chao, Dai Chao was forced back half a step.

After a few punches, Dai Chao finally couldn’t take it anymore and spewed out blood.

Seeing this, Lu Yu immediately withdrew his fist and asked softly, “Do you want to continue?”

Dai Chao took one fearful glance at Lu Yu, his face filled with the utmost respect.

Dai Chao bowed to Lu Yu and replied respectfully, “There’s no need. The outcome has been decided. Greetings, Honorable Great Martial Master!”
