Chapter 158

February 21st.

After finishing the grappling and wrestling class, Chen Xiang called Li Fei to stop again:

"Tomorrow, another martial arts hall specializing in wrestling will hold an internal competition; I have already communicated with them, and you can go and participate."

"Are there so many internal competitions in these martial arts halls recently?"

Li Fei asked curiously.

Chen Xiang looked at him and said very naturally: "Next month is the martial arts hall ranking competition, which is directly related to the business of each martial arts hall, so everyone attaches great importance to it; this month, they are conducting internal selections one after another to select the most excellent disciples to participate in the competition."

Li Fei nodded: "So that's how it is; I am willing to participate, thank you, Chen Laoshi."

"Then tomorrow at 1:00 PM, I will still wait for you at the east gate."

Chen Xiang said to Li Fei.

Afterward, the two separated and returned to their dormitories respectively.

That night, a staff member sent a package to Li Fei.

This package was sent from Xingcheng.

Li Fei unpacked the package; inside, besides some food and clothes sent to him by Zhang Zhang Yuqing, there was also a deep black protective suit with light red stripes.

This protective suit was naturally not sent by Zhang Zhang Yuqing, but quietly put into the package by the General Inspectorate.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the people of the General Inspectorate were not easy to contact Li Fei directly, so they put the things into the package sent from Xingcheng, thereby delivering the things to Li Fei's hands without attracting attention.

Li Fei took out this protective suit and then put it on to try it.

The touch was a bit cold, and it was very breathable when worn on the body, not hot at all.

This is a level 4 protective suit!

The production difficulty of a protective suit is higher than that of an exotic weapon of the same level, so its value is also one grade higher.

A level 4 protective suit is equivalent to a level 5 exotic weapon, which means that the protective suit Li Fei is wearing is about the same in value as his Ghost Slicer.

A level 3 protective suit can already block the shooting of pistol bullets at close range, while a level 4 protective suit can block the shooting of rifle bullets at close range!

If a martial master puts on a level 4 protective suit, ordinary gunpowder weapons will be difficult to pose a threat to him.

The current Minister of Military Affairs of the Great Lan Dynasty once said a "famous quote":

"Give me ten thousand level 4 protective suits, and I can lead troops to pacify the seven Western countries!"

This is naturally just a joke; even a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse may not be able to get a level 4 protective suit, so how could it be possible to gather ten thousand level 4 protective suits?

This is like saying that gathering ten thousand Dao Foundation stage powerhouses to form an army can sweep across the world.

The level 4 protective suit Li Fei is wearing at this time was applied for by Xia Xia Huan for this mission, mainly to ensure his personal safety.

After this mission ends, Li Fei still has to return the protective suit.

At 1:00 PM the next afternoon, Li Fei appeared at the east gate on time.

"Let's go."

Chen Xiang, who was waiting here in advance, was the same as last time; he didn't say much, took Li Fei out of the school gate, and took the tram to the Wuyi District.

This district has the most martial arts halls in the whole city; the martial arts hall Chen Xiang is taking Li Fei to today is named the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall, and its fame in the Wuyi District is second only to the Mount Tiefeng Martial Arts Hall.

After getting off the tram and walking for more than ten minutes, Chen Xiang brought Li Fei to the outside of the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall.

The gate of the martial arts hall was decorated very magnificently; there were two white jade lions more than two people tall on both sides of the steps, which was very imposing.

"Chen Laoshi, Student Li, please come in."

The Great Earth Martial Arts Hall sent people to wait outside the gate in advance to welcome Chen Xiang and Li Fei.

Welcoming the two was a fat man wearing a white outer robe, black shorts, and with his chest and breasts exposed.

This person was full of fat; when he walked, the fat on his body trembled, and he didn't look like a martial artist at all.

After entering the martial arts hall, Li Fei encountered many people with similar figures along the way, all of whom were fat men weighing at least 200 jin.

These people were all students of the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall.

It is not that the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall specializes in recruiting fat people, but that after becoming official students of the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall, they will all become fat, because this martial arts hall uses the earth-type implant 【Elephant Bitter】.

【Elephant Bitter】 will cause people to have more and more fat on their bodies, making people constantly fat, and the extraordinary ability of 【Elephant Bitter】 happens to need to use fat.

For martial artists using 【Elephant Bitter】, the more fat on their bodies, the stronger their strength.

After passing through the martial arts practice field in the front yard, Li Fei and Chen Xiang were led by that student to the outside of a venue in the main courtyard.

Under the signal of the other party, Li Fei took off the shoes on his feet and walked barefoot into the venue.

The floor of the venue was paved with rattan black wood; this kind of wood has very good shock absorption, and at the same time, it is hard enough, which is very suitable for practicing wrestling.

After Li Fei walked into the venue, his eyes were attracted by a "meat mountain" directly in front at first glance:

This is a super fat man whose figure far exceeds ordinary people!

The other party was just sitting there, and his height exceeded two meters, even more massive than Li Fei's figure in the "Tyrant Body" state. If he stood up, he would probably be more than three meters tall!

This was the first time Li Fei had seen a person with such an exaggerated figure.

This person was also wearing a white outer robe and black shorts, with his chest and breasts exposed, his skin was fair and tender, and his round belly was like a big drum.

"Distinguished guests have come to visit; I have failed to welcome you from afar, and I hope you will forgive me."

This "meat mountain" spoke, his voice was grand, making the entire venue buzz!

"Owner Che is too polite; it is we who have disturbed you."

Chen Xiang took the lead in cupping his hands and bowing to the other party.

This "meat mountain" was named Che Che Haochuan, the owner of the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall, a force-practicing martial artist at the peak of the Qi Transformation stage.

Li Fei had obtained the detailed information of the other party from Lu Lu Mengyang last night.

According to the assessment of the General Inspectorate, Che Che Haochuan's strength could be ranked in the top ten among all force-practicing martial artists in the entire Datong Prefecture!

"You are Li Fei?"

Che Che Haochuan's gaze shifted to Li Fei.

In an instant, Li Fei felt as if an invisible giant mountain was pressing toward him!

He looked directly at Che Che Haochuan without changing his expression and cupped his hands to bow to the other party:

"Li Fei has met Owner Che."

"As expected of the legendary genius famous in the martial arts university."

Che Che Haochuan laughed, his eyes narrowing into a slit, like a Maitreya Buddha.

Following this laugh of his, the huge pressure like a mountain disappeared into the invisible in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

"I have already known your intention. Teng Zhe, you spar with this genius of the martial arts university first."

Che Che Haochuan looked at a student on the left.

Three students were sitting cross-legged on his left and right sides respectively, all of whom were martial artists at the Qi Transformation stage.

From this point, one could see that the strength of the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall was much stronger than the Gladiator Martial Arts Hall that Li Fei went to a few days ago.

The student named Teng Zhe slowly got up and first bowed to Che Che Haochuan:

"Yes, Teacher."

This was also a fat man over 2 meters tall and full of fat, only appearing a bit "slender" when standing next to Che Che Haochuan.

Teng Zhe walked to the center of the venue, facing Li Fei.

"In today's sparring, you can use extraordinary abilities and innate Qi to compete with them in wrestling techniques."

Chen Xiang said to Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded and first took off his dark blue jacket.

This is the school uniform of the martial arts university.

Under the jacket was a set of black martial arts clothes, also issued by the martial arts university, which had very good flexibility; even if Li Fei entered the "Tyrant Body" state, he would not tear the clothes.

Li Fei first folded the jacket in his hand neatly and placed it in a corner to the side, then turned and walked to the center of the venue, standing opposite Teng Zhe.

"Great Earth Martial Arts Hall, Teng Zhe."

"Wu'an University, Li Fei."

The two bowed to each other.

"Please!"

As the voice fell, the ground of the venue trembled, and Teng Zhe's fat body erupted with astonishing power, rushing out at a speed that did not lose to Li Fei at all.

The next second, the two collided fiercely.

Bang—

Both of their hands grabbed the other party's arms at the same time, and then their respective innate Qi gushed out from their palms.

Innate Qi is not as condensed as force, so in normal circumstances, it can only be hit by close contact; the only exception is True Qi.

Because True Qi is pure enough and can be more condensed, it can perform long-range strikes within a short distance, such as Li Fei's blade glow and Cao Cao Yiqing's flame flying stings.

Setting aside True Qi, wrestling and close-range grappling are actually the martial arts that can best exert the advantages of innate Qi at the martial artist stage.

Earth-yellow aura gushed out from Teng Zhe's palms; this is Wutu Fire Gang Qi, which is both thick and fierce.

Just when the Wutu Fire Gang Qi was about to gush into Li Fei's body, his body suddenly expanded outward, and his figure became the same size as Teng Zhe's, just not as "wide" as the other party.

The timing of Li Fei's "Tyrant Body" activation was very good, making Teng Zhe fail to grab his arms firmly, and at the same time, the Wutu Fire Gang Qi was shaken away by the "Tyrant Body."

Taking this opportunity, two strands of Gengjin True Qi sprayed out from Li Fei's palms, turning into two sharp blades and stabbing into Teng Zhe's arms!

Teng Zhe's Wutu Fire Gang Qi and the thick fat in his body intertwined, forming a special "protective armor," obstructing Li Fei's Gengjin True Qi layer by layer.

The 【Elephant Bitter】 implant has two extraordinary abilities; one is "Thick Armor," which is using fat to form a protective armor, greatly increasing one's defense.

While using "Thick Armor" to cooperate with Wutu Fire Gang Qi to block Gengjin True Qi, Teng Zhe continued to make moves.

Strands of earth-yellow aura spread from his palms toward Li Fei's entire body.

Advanced wrestling techniques all need to be performed in cooperation with innate Qi or force; innate Qi and force are an invisible lock to the inside, which can lock the opponent's body.

To the outside, they are invisible hands that can pull the opponent.

Teng Zhe could not break through Li Fei's "Tyrant Body" for a while, so he chose to use Wutu Fire Gang Qi to pull Li Fei.

Strands of dark golden aura erupted from Li Fei's body, like steel blades, cutting off the Wutu Fire Gang Qi wrapped around his body.

But his speed of controlling Gengjin True Qi was still a step slower; his body's center of gravity was forcibly pulled, and Teng Zhe seized the opportunity to exert force with his hands and feet at the same time, fiercely throwing Li Fei away!

Bang—

Li Fei fell heavily on the wooden board.

"One round!"

Teng Zhe shouted loudly at Li Fei.

It meant that he won the first round.

According to the rules of the martial arts competition, if he could throw Li Fei down for three rounds in a row, then this martial arts competition would be his victory.

Li Fei quickly stood up from the ground and rushed toward Teng Zhe again.

The two collided again.

This time Li Fei no longer took the initiative to attack, but focused all his attention on controlling Gengjin True Qi to fight with Teng Zhe's Wutu Fire Gang Qi.

The two were like fighting with dozens of invisible hands at the same time.

Li Fei was indeed not as good as Teng Zhe in terms of techniques in this aspect, but he had the "Tyrant Body" blessing, which could constantly shake away the Wutu Fire Gang Qi wrapped around his body surface.

Wutu Fire Gang Qi is not force after all, and it is easy to disperse.

In this way, Li Fei's defense could be considered solid as a rock.

After the two stalemated for seven or eight seconds, Teng Zhe suddenly shouted, the fat all over his body trembled violently, and then his strength greatly increased, suppressing Li Fei at once!

This is the second extraordinary ability of 【Elephant Bitter】—Fuel Burning.

Exchanging for powerful strength by burning the fat on the body!

Seeing this scene, the remaining few martial arts hall students present were all a bit surprised.

Today's martial arts competition was just an ordinary spar, and Teng Zhe had no need to use "Fuel Burning" at all; after all, the fat on his body would be less if used, and it would take time to accumulate it again.

Next month is the ranking competition; why did Teng Zhe have to do this?

Pa—

The sudden powerful strength broke the balance, and Li Fei was thrown away again.

"Two rounds!"

Teng Zhe shouted loudly at Li Fei who had fallen to the ground, flames seeming to burn in his eyes.

Behind him, Che Che Haochuan, who had always had a smile on his face, frowned slightly.

Li Fei stood up from the ground again.

He continued to rush toward Teng Zhe with a calm face.

This time he did not defend anymore, but exerted all his strength to spray Gengjin True Qi into Teng Zhe's body.

In the case of using "Fuel Burning," Teng Zhe's defense would naturally decline.

Teng Zhe didn't care, letting two strands of Gengjin True Qi stab into his arms, penetrate the thick fat, and finally stab into the bone!

He let out a painful cry, and actually further urged "Fuel Burning"; strands of earth-yellow Wutu Fire Gang Qi gushed out from his entire body and then wrapped around Li Fei.

Li Fei used the "Tyrant Body" to shake away a strand of Fire Gang Qi, and immediately the next strand of Fire Gang Qi wrapped around, wrapping him into an earth-yellow cocoon.

The next second, Teng Zhe fiercely lifted Li Fei up and then threw him heavily toward the ground!

Boom—

The floor of the venue vibrated again; the wooden board paved with rattan black wood was smashed and cracked, sinking inward, appearing a small pit.

"Three rounds!!"

Teng Zhe grabbed Li Fei's arm with one hand and pressed his chest with the other, pressing him firmly into the pit, and shouted loudly.

Li Fei looked at the other party with a calm face: "You won."

Hearing this, Teng Zhe showed a strange expression of both crying and laughing on his face; he stared at Li Fei firmly and finally sneered:

"So the genius of the martial arts university is nothing more than this!"

"Teng Zhe!"

Just at this moment, Che Che Haochuan spoke, his grand voice containing anger, resounding through the entire venue:

"Enough!"

He didn't understand what was wrong with this disciple of his today, but the martial arts university was not something that a mere Great Earth Martial Arts Hall could provoke; he had to speak to stop Teng Zhe from saying more excessive words.

Fortunately, although Li Fei was smashed very embarrassingly, he didn't seem to be injured much and could still be remedied.

Just when Che Che Haochuan was thinking about how to save the situation at this time, Teng Zhe suddenly did something that none of the Great Earth Martial Arts Hall people present expected:

The hand he used to press Li Fei's chest moved upward, grabbed Li Fei's neck, and then squeezed hard!

Wrestling experts would specially train their finger strength, not to mention that Teng Zhe was in the "Fuel Burning" state at this time; such finger strength could even instantly deform steel!

"Stop—"

Che Che Haochuan, who was sitting still, changed color drastically; he slapped Teng Zhe with one palm, and a strand of earth-yellow force turned into a big hand and grabbed toward Teng Zhe.

Shua—

On the other side, Chen Xiang, who had been watching the battle quietly, also moved; he took a step forward and punched out.

It was also a strand of earth-yellow force that turned into the form of a flood dragon, tearing toward the front.

But this force was not aimed at Teng Zhe, but collided with the force hit by Che Che Haochuan.

PS: It seems I have the flu, my condition is very bad, only one update today.
