The martial arts conference was not a one-on-one competition but between teams.
Apart from testing an individual’s strength, teamwork was also very important.
Since it was a team battle, they had to defeat all the members or make them admit defeat if they wanted to win.
This kind of victory was much more difficult to achieve than a one-on-one match.
As for the rules of the match, they were more or less the same. Therefore, there was no need to elaborate further.
It was nothing more than prohibiting some items.
As the saying goes, accidents happen, so casualties are inevitable.
Furthermore, this was the Martial Arts Conference, the grandest martial arts tournament in Xia Country. There had always been a significant number of casualties and a significant number of them.
For example, in the previous session, a genius from the Li family had gone mad.
Hence.
The referees were very humane, greatly reducing the number of casualties.
…
At this moment, both the Liu family team and Naipna were ready.
There were ten people on each side, each filled with a fighting spirit. A great battle was about to begin.
The referee looked at the Patriarchs in the VIP seats.
The Patriarchs responded with their gazes, indicating that they could begin.
The referee immediately announced, “Begin!”
With this command, the atmosphere in the venue ran high.
All eyes were on the Liu family team and Naipna.
There were ten people on each side, and they were all men.
Since Naipna’s ten men had been genetically modified, they were much stronger than the Liu family.
But size did not mean anything.
The Martial Arts Conference was not about fitness or strength.
Besides, in terms of strength, the ten people from the Liu family team were not weak at all.
Not long after, both sides became engaged with each other.
The weapons on Naipna’s side were considered iron rods.
They were brawlers, so their techniques were mainly for actual combat. Every move was fatal. They were also especially agile on top of being powerful.
It would be very dangerous if they fell into a rhythm.
On the other hand, the Liu family team had no weapons in hand—only a pair of steel wire gloves.
To them, hands were the most powerful weapons.
But in the art of war, an inch longer was better.
The iron rods of Naipna and his men had the absolute upper hand, causing the ten members of the Liu family team to retreat repeatedly.
Fortunately, they had movement techniques and were able to dodge the attacks. They were temporarily uninjured.
At this moment, the faces of the clan descendants in the audience were ugly. Their hearts were chilled with disappointment, and they didn’t dare to speak anymore.
In the VIP seats, the atmosphere was not as heavy.
The Patriarchs didn’t seem to be worried that the ten people from the Liu family team would be defeated.
Qin Chuan also understood the reason.
The Liu family was famous for their medical skills. They were not suited for combat.
But every support champion wishes to be the carry.
It was the same for the Liu family.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Liu family created the martial art [Shadowless Acupuncture Technique].
After mastering the [Shadowless Acupuncture Technique], coupled with the techniques of the Liu family that were handed down the generations, they could both treat and kill people.
Since the ten of them had been genetically modified, their bodies were definitely different from normal people.
The [Shadowless Acupuncture Technique] attacked the opponent’s acupoints.
Therefore, the Liu family couldn’t act blindly without understanding the other party’s body structure.
They appeared to be suppressed, but they were actually observing the distribution of the other party’s acupoints.
…
At the competition venue.
“Hmph! Is this the martial arts of Xia Country? How trashy.” Naipna’s members taunted.
They were speaking in a foreign language, so the Liu family team naturally couldn’t understand them.
However, judging from the other party’s smug and disdainful expressions, it certainly wasn’t anything good.
The Liu family team was naturally upset and wanted to retaliate.
However, they could only continue to endure before they could figure out the distribution of the other party’s acupuncture points.
Time passed.
The battle in the arena did not stop.
Naipna’s side still had the upper hand while the Liu family team was still defending.
The audience felt very aggrieved and uncomfortable watching this duel. They all had the urge to curse.
“Sigh! We shouldn’t have trusted the Liu family.”
“That makes sense. The Liu family specializes in medical skills, they are still too weak in martial arts.”
“That’s right! They can only defend. They’re being beaten like a kid. It’s too embarrassing.”
“I think it’s better to just admit defeat. Watching this makes me uncomfortable.”
…
The complaints followed.
The expressions of the Liu juniors in the audience were extremely grim.
They really wanted to retort the comments, but watching their family’s battle, there was indeed no hope of winning, so they could only silently endure.
What they didn’t know was that the Liu family members in the match were preparing to attack.
After a long period of suppression, according to the family’s special acupuncture technique, they had already noted the opponents’ acupuncture points.
About five minutes later.
The Liu family team looked at each other. They knew what to do.
“Counterattack!”
Presently.
Just like before, Naipna’s members were constantly dealing direct blows to the Liu family team.
In the past, the Liu family team would have definitely dodged.
However, this time, they did not. Instead, they extended their hands and blocked them with their palms.
Clang clang clang!
The sound of metal clashing and friction rang out instantly.
The Liu family team blocked the attacks head on.
However, the area between their thumbs and index fingers was struck by a powerful impact, and they bled profusely.
But they had achieved their goal.
The Liu family held onto the metal rods tightly and refused to let Naipna draw them back.
Almost everyone in the audience was stunned.
After the Liu family team gripped onto the metal rod, they walked forward and extended their fingers to quickly tap on the opponent’s bodies.
They were even faster than Taka Kato[1]. It was no wonder the technique was named Shadowless.
This set of movements was very fast and smooth. It was almost completed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Naipna’s members were staring with their eyes wide open. They swung their rods like statues, and their faces filled with open disbelief.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The metal rods fell out of their hands one after another, smashing onto the ground with a series of sounds.
The bodies of the Naipna members were on the verge of collapse. They were like buildings that had lost their foundation.
Their brains could still think, but they could not control their bodies. It was as if they only had their heads left.
At this moment, the Liu Family members turned around and came before them. They squatted down and tapped a few more acupuncture points on their bodies.
It amplified the pain in the body by several times.
After that, the people from the Liu family team sat on them. Some of them raised their fists and punched the opponents’ faces. Some of them slapped them while others were pinching their flesh.
Because the pain was magnified, the pain that Naipna members were feeling was unprecedented. It was excruciating.
In an instant, screams resounded through the area.
When everyone heard this, they found them really pitiful.
“Will you admit defeat!?”
“Will you admit defeat!?”
“Will you admit defeat!?”
The torture continued. The referee saw no casualties and did not stop the match.
In the end, Naipna’s members could not take it anymore and had to admit defeat.
With, the first match had ended in such a manner.
This also set the warning bells ringing for the outsider teams.
In their hearts, the martial arts families were labeled as insidious and cunning.
They could not be careless in the following matches. They had to end the battle quickly and not drag it out.
After watching the battle, Qin Chuan became interested in the Liu Clan’s [Shadowless Acupoint Technique].
Actually, some martial arts techniques were not bad.
Qin Chuan wondered, if martial arts were used by cultivators, would the might and effect be even stronger?
With my current status, those Patriarchs probably won’t be stingy.
If it doesn’t work out, I will give them some incentives. Qin Chuan silently mused.
