Seeing Luo Li’s actions, Chu Nan was slightly stunned. This was because from the various statistics obtained from his actions, he was actually slightly stronger than the Luo Li in virtual space.
Specifically, his speed had increased by about 3%, and his strength had increased by about 5%.
After being stunned for a moment, Chu Nan immediately understood that this should be because the data regarding Luo Li in the virtual space was rather backward and Luo Li had improved during this period of time.
To be able to obtain an increase of 3% to 5% in such a short period of time, it could be seen that Luo Li was indeed a martial arts genius.
When they saw Luo Li’s attack, no matter if it was the second grade students who were watching the battle from the side, Teacher Torriman, or even Mu Yutong who was in the dean’s room, they could not help but nod.
This was because Luo Li’s strike could be said to be top-notch in terms of strength and speed. It had definitely reached the peak of the Overlord Body realm. He was only a step away from being comparable to an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.
In everyone’s hearts, Chu Nan, a mere initial-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist, would probably not even be able to endure the first exchange.
Even Mu Yutong, who felt that Chu Nan’s strength was not only at the initial-stage Overlord Body realm, could not help but shake his head.
In his opinion, Luo Li’s strength was indeed at the peak of the Overlord Body Realm. Even if Chu Nan hid his strength, he should not be a match.
The only person who remained calm was Chu Nan, who was facing Luo Li’s attack on the stage.
Facing Luo Li’s attack that had already reached the peak of the Overlord Body realm, not only was Chu Nan not nervous at all, he even revealed a mocking smile.
It was exactly the same as tens of thousands of battles in the virtual space. When any of Luo Li’s actions entered Chu Nan’s eyes, they turned into countless constantly changing data. According to these data, he instantly determined the trajectory of every inch of Luo Li’s body.
It had to be said that as a fifth-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist, Luo Li’s martial technique was indeed very outstanding. He did not even need a second to close the distance of nearly ten meters between the two and threw a punch at Chu Nan.
The martial technique Luo Li used was one of the top ten fist techniques of the Federation, the Overlord Tiger Subduing Fist. Coupled with the Nine Bull Two Tiger Heart Technique he cultivated, its power was extremely powerful.
However, when this fist struck out, it was as if even the air had been shattered. It brought about an ear-piercing whistle, and it was extremely powerful.
When the students at the side saw this punch, their faces turned pale.
If they were in Chu Nan’s shoes, other than temporarily avoiding him, there was no other way.
With his ability as an initial-stage Overlord Body, it was a problem for him to dodge this punch.
The miserable scene of Chu Nan being struck by this punch flashed through the minds of many students, and a trace of pity could not help but flash across their faces.
Seeing that Luo Li was about to punch Chu Nan, his body suddenly swayed.
Chu Nan used the heel of his left foot as an axis. With a wave of his foot, his waist sank and he spun left. His body immediately spun counterclockwise.
Borrowing the force of the spinning, Chu Nan swung his right leg and kicked diagonally.
This kick did not seem to have much strength or speed, but it directly broke through Luo Li’s defense and directly went between his legs before heavily kicking his lower body.
“Ah—”
Luo Li let out an earth-shattering scream. His body suddenly arched like a shrimp, and he jumped nearly ten meters high. Then, he fell to the ground and rolled continuously.
Hearing the painful cry from Luo Li as he rolled, the male students in the audience, as well as the referee, Teacher Torriman, could not help but clench his legs.
As a man, how could he not know the pain of being hit in an important part?
Chu Nan glanced at Luo Li who was on the ground. He turned to Torriman and asked, “Teacher, can we start counting down now?”
Toriman was stunned for a moment before realizing his identity as the referee.
Although it was obvious that Luo Li had lost the ability to continue fighting, due to the rules, Torriman still counted down obediently.
“…4… 3… 2… 1, time is up!” After counting the last number, Torriman stood up and glanced at Chu Nan in an extremely strange manner. He then lowered his right hand and announced, “The winner is Chu Nan!”
The entire venue was silent.
Chu Nan had actually defeated Luo Li?
This fact shocked everyone. They could not accept it at all.
However, Luo Li, who was still in pain, proved this fact extremely clearly. They had no choice but to accept it.
“Teacher, it’s best if you bring Luo Li to the rehabilitation data center for treatment. Otherwise, I’m afraid he won’t be able to last much longer.” Before he left the stage, Chu Nan did not forget to remind Torriman.
Torriman came to stand beside Luo Li. He squatted down and pulled open his pants without ceremony. He gasped.
Luo Li’s crotch had already turned into mush, its original appearance long gone.
Chu Nan’s kick was ruthless!
Torriman hurriedly announced that the competition was paused. He carried Luo Li on his back and ran towards the rehabilitation data center.
…
In the dean’s room.
Dean Feng’s expression was a little ugly.
When the large screen displayed that Torriman had carried Luo Li and left, the Martial Arts Branch Head, Luo Yuntong, had also hurriedly left. He had even forgotten to inform Mu Yutong.
Dean Feng understood him very well, because no matter what, Luo Li was his nephew. Moreover, he was the nephew that Luo Yuntong had always given great expectations and favored the most.
Now that such a huge matter had happened to Luo Li, it was no wonder that Luo Yuntong was a little flustered.
If something happened to Feng Xiao, he, as the father, would probably be even more nervous than Luo Yuntong.
Of course, this was not the time to consider this. Dean Feng was nervously thinking about the consequences of this matter.
According to his and Luo Yuntong’s plan, they originally wanted to focus on Luo Li and strive to make him be taken in by Mu Yutong as a disciple.
This way, not only would Luo Li benefit, but most importantly, West Cloud Academy’s reputation would also increase greatly.
To Dean Feng, because of this plan, he had obtained the support of Luo Yuntong and the Luo family behind him, allowing him to sit firmly in the position of the dean.
Now, Luo Li had actually been defeated in the first round of the qualifiers, and he had even been defeated by a mere initial-stage Overlord Body realm disciple that he had not even been able to name before.
Most importantly, Mu Yutong had seen everything!
If Luo Li was not taken in by Mu Yutong because of this, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He turned around and looked at Mu Yutong who still had a calm expression, but there seemed to be a trace of doubt in his eyes. Dean Feng coughed lightly and laughed, “Mr. Mu, you’re indeed right. The outcome of a battle between martial artists is unknown until the last moment. Look at how Luo Li underestimated his opponent and lost this round. Otherwise, with his fifth-stage Overlord Body realm strength, how could that Chu Nan be his match?”
Mu Yutong turned to look at Dean Feng, a hint of mockery flashing across the corners of his mouth.
“Dean Feng, do you think Luo Li underestimated the enemy? Or is that student called Chu Nan too lucky?”
“This… I think there’s both factors involved. Otherwise, Luo Li is a fifth-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist while Chu Nan is only at the initial-stage Overlord Body realm. With such a huge difference in strength, how could it end up like this?”
“Dean Feng, you’re indeed not a martial artist.” Mu Yutong smiled slightly. He put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and cupped his fists in greeting to Dean Feng, “Thank you for your enthusiastic reception this time, Dean Feng and West Cloud Academy. It also allowed me to admire a very good battle. Dean Feng, I still have some things to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“Mr. Mu, you…” Dean Feng wanted to ask Mu Yutong to stay, but he swallowed his words. He only smiled and said, “You’re too polite. If there’s a chance next time, please come to our West Cloud Academy with these disciples as guests. I’ll sincerely welcome you.”
Mu Yutong smiled, cupped his hands towards Dean Feng, and then waved his hand before directly leaving the office.
His disciples naturally followed behind him one after another.
The group left the dean’s room and directly boarded an anti-gravity floating shuttle specially prepared for them by the West Cloud Planet’s government.
As soon as the shuttle left the ground, Mu Yutong looked at West Cloud Academy below and suddenly sighed, “What a pity.”
“Pity?” The few disciples beside him looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
“That student called Chu Nan has decent talent in martial arts. If I had met him ten years ago, I might be tempted to take him in as my disciple. As long as I nurture him with care and provide a cultivation method suitable for him, his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.”
The disciples looked at each other.
Although they were also surprised by Chu Nan’s performance just now, in the eyes of these disciples, a battle between Overlord Body Realm Martial Artists was no different from children fighting.
Even if Chu Nan’s performance was surprising, they would not really look at him.
They did not expect their teacher to have such a high evaluation of him.
“It’s indeed a pity.” Only the oldest disciple sitting beside Mu Yutong nodded and similarly revealed a regretful expression, “This Chu Nan is probably over 18 years old this year and his body has long matured. His Internal Breath cultivation method should already have a certain foundation, but it can’t be easily reversed. Look at him, he has only cultivated to the initial-stage Overlord Body. His future achievements will probably be limited.”
After a pause, he continued, “Actually, there are many martial arts geniuses in the Federation, but only one in ten thousand can grow into a true expert from a young age. It’s really fortunate that we were able to enter Master’s tutelage and be nurtured by him.”
The other disciples reacted and immediately thanked Mu Yutong in unison.
Mu Yutong waved his hand and stared at the West Cloud Academy that was getting smaller and smaller below. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said with a serious expression, “If you want to become a true expert, talent is only one of them. My guidance can only be used as support. The most important thing is your own hard work. You can’t forget it.”
The disciples immediately shook and acknowledged in unison.
