Chapter 401: Gate Guests of Noble Families Move the Golden Tiger
The old wheel rises in the east; it is a new day once again.
The gym-storming is still ongoing, and the martial arts gym side is still preparing personnel, so a fight won't break out for a while.
Since they are idle anyway, the intermission is a perfect time for some verbal sparring.
Although Zhou You does not speak, the other out-of-town martial masters have plenty to say, and they have quite a lot of it.
"Bo Xiaolin, first Cao Daya, then Bian Buzhi—your Xiaolin Martial Arts Gym really only recruits top-tier talent!"
Qin Lie mocks with a shake of his head, "Hiding filth and harboring dirt; aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Regardless, the Xiaolin Martial Arts Gym inviting these two as external reinforcements is an indelible stain.
Wise Tiger Tian Boduan responds with a smile, "Not so. You must look at it this way: these two originally walked a crooked path, but under the influence of the Gym Master, they repented and voluntarily joined his school to wash their hearts and reform their faces."
"Seen in this light, Gym Master Bo has the merit of enlightenment; truly incredible, truly remarkable."
Good heavens, this mouth can turn black into white.
Qin Lie is left speechless by his rebuttal, stunned for a long time before saying, "You've reached the point of needing external help; your gym has no one left!"
As soon as the words fell, a figure swept up from the crowd, brushing over the tops of the bustling throng.
"Who says the Xiaolin Martial Arts Gym has no one!"
The voice sounds like a tiger's roar and a thunderclap, making Qin Lie's ears ring; the newcomer is clearly an Intermediate Martial Master.
The martial arts gym side recognizes the newcomer and calls out in surprise, "Senior Brother Kai."
The newcomer is none other than the Gate Guest Kai Taichong; he left the Su family and immediately rushed to the entrance of the martial arts gym.
After Kai Taichong arrives on the scene, the morale of the martial arts gym side surges rapidly like a rising tide, and everyone is filled with confidence.
A First-class Martial Artist serving as a Gate Guest—all Gate Guests of noble families are top-tier existences.
Kai Taichong originated from the Xiaolin Martial Arts Gym and relied on his own efforts to enter a noble family; he is among the most elite talent of the Fucheng martial masters.
His arrival announces the arrival of the Xiaolin Martial Arts Gym's true, powerful reinforcement.
The surrounding spectators also realize that the two from the previous day were just stalling for time; the one who truly takes the stage is Kai Taichong.
Kai Taichong sweeps in and grabs at the back of Qin Lie's heart, his arm vibrating at high speed, his skin showing a faint tendency toward liquefaction.
This move, 'Mad Wind Tiger Probing Claw', is incredibly fast, its trajectory impossible to track; it instantly pierces Qin Lie's defense and grabs his back.
Qin Lie did not expect the opponent to be so formidable; he was taken down before he could react in a single exchange, his liver and gallbladder split with terror.
"You think you're qualified to say my gym has no one?"
Kai Taichong shakes his wrist slightly, tossing Qin Lie to the edge of sight like a bundle of straw, then turns back.
He bows to Bo Xiaolin, "Master, Taichong requests to fight!"
"Good, you must display the prestige of our gym."
Bo Xiaolin lets out a sigh of relief; with Kai Taichong taking the field, this match is secure.
Zhou You notices that from the moment Kai Taichong appeared, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly reversed; almost everyone is convinced that Kai Taichong will win, including the out-of-town martial masters who originally supported him.
It is simply because Kai Taichong is so famous, and his strength matches his reputation; a figure as formidable as Qin Lie was taken down in a single move.
"Hungry Tiger Zhou You, you dare to come and storm the gym, you must have some tricks up your sleeve, but unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong target."
"The martial arts gyms of Fucheng have deep roots; you cannot shake them."
"Enough said, let's move!"
Kai Taichong raises his hand and throws a punch, a faint golden yellow light rising around his body; this is the level of the Jade Tiger Art cultivated to the Golden Tiger stage.
The Golden Tiger Evil is more highly condensed and pure in texture; facing the Silver Tiger Evil, it can be said to collapse in one blow. His fist technique is upright and grand, possessing the style of a master; if he weren't a Gate Guest, he would have more than enough to open his own martial arts gym.
As he makes his move, many martial masters present see the power in it and click their tongues in approval.
A noble family Gate Guest is truly extraordinary; Zhou You is in danger now.
"Good, you are worth me using seventy percent of my strength."
Zhou You steps with his feet, his waist swaying twice, and instantly splits into two tiger shadows that dart out.
This change shocks the surrounding onlookers so much that they nearly lose their footing; what is going on, why did he split? "It's not an illusion; both are Zhou You; this is his unique fist technique."
The two tiger shadows move side by side, rushing to the front of Kai Taichong, quickly flanking him from the left and right, consuming his Golden Tiger Evil bit by bit with a grinding, swirling force.
The fist technique executed by four arms is enough to bridge the gap brought by cultivation realms.
Kai Taichong frowns slightly; he senses that Zhou You has split into two tiger shadows without any drop in Qi and blood, which means he is currently facing an enemy with double the mass.
How is this achieved? Splitting into two is not strange, but usually, it causes the individual strength to be halved, becoming counterproductive; Zhou You's performance clearly exceeds common sense.
As a result, the pressure Kai Taichong faces increases sharply.
"What is this fist technique?"
Qi Qingdi hears someone ask and puffs out his chest, saying, "This is the Double Body Tiger Form Fist uniquely created by my master."
The crowd is abuzz; the great name of the Double Body Tiger Form Fist has officially debuted in Fucheng.
Many martial artists scramble to inquire about the origin of this fist technique, but the final answer they receive is that Zhou You created it himself by combining several fist techniques.
Good heavens, innovating and creating his own fist technique—it would be a waste not to open a martial arts gym with this talent.
Zuo Shier is trembling with excitement; the Two Hearts Fist also played a part in this, and he feels his efforts were not in vain, living up to his master's spirit in heaven by bringing this fist technique to a brand-new height.
"He wasn't using his full strength before!"
On the side of the Xiaolin Martial Arts Gym, everyone is dumbfounded; the Zhou You of the previous two days was actually in a 'low health' state! A Zhou You who beat four Primary Martial Masters to death or injury wasn't even using his full strength—what kind of monster is this?
This person must not be left alive!
Wise Tiger Tian Boduan thinks that the tiger is the king of all beasts in the mountains, naturally wild and hard to tame; whenever someone attempts to tame a fierce tiger, they inevitably end up being eaten by the grown, strong tiger, hence the saying about "raising a tiger to cause trouble."
The Zhou You before them today learned the fist techniques of Dayin Mountain, yet he turns around to storm their gym—is this not also raising a tiger to cause trouble? The disaster Wang Jianxiong raised must be eliminated today!
"Taichong, since he is playing for real, don't hold back either!"
Kai Taichong is slightly stunned upon hearing this; he isn't holding back, but he immediately understands the implication of the words.
Telling him not to hold back is urging him to use lethal force and ensure Zhou You is beaten to death on the ring.
He steeled his heart; very well, he would treat it as repaying the grace of his late master's Instruction!
He was originally a youth in the streets whose future had long been set in stone: to inherit his father's leather-tanning workshop and be a mediocre tanner.
If not for Bo Xiaolin having the keen eye to recognize his talent and pluck him into the martial arts hall to practice boxing and martial arts, how could he have today's achievements? Kaitaichong felt a sense of openness in his heart, immediately cupped his fists into a stance, and unleashed his ultimate move, "Golden Tiger Worships the Moon, Qi Rushes the Grand Duke."
Golden light flowed over his entire body like water, and in the blink of an eye, it molded into a majestic, awe-inspiring giant golden tiger; its palms pressed together in a bow, and its killing intent pierced the heavens, surging upward to the sun, moon, stars, and the Grand Duke.
The shockwave of this move directly hammered the thousand-meter-diameter battlefield into a basin, with the deepest point reaching two meters.
But the primary destructive force still landed on Zhou You without a single drop being wasted.
The two tiger shadows of Zhou You suddenly opened their eyes, spread their blood-filled maws, and roared at each other face-to-face.
"Hungry Tiger Swallows the Sun, Endless Consumption, Double Counter-Strike."
