Chapter 10: One Punch Blows Away the Protagonist? Absurd!

At this moment, Ye Xuan had not revealed his true strength; he was only Second Grade Mid-Stage.

He instantly darted to Xu Chen's front and began launching martial techniques against him.

Even though Ye Xuan was Second Grade Mid-Stage, his martial techniques were stronger than Xu Chen's, and for a time, they were evenly matched.

The surrounding crowd, just as described in the original text, were secretly startled.

Elder Mingyou stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "This young man is not only a Third Grade Alchemist, but can also fight above his level—remarkable, truly remarkable!"

Li Ruoling curled her lips; she'd soon see a good show.

Trying to bully her Xu Chen brother? Ha, not a chance.

"Boom!"

After trading dozens of punches, both stepped back several paces.

Xu Chen's expression remained calm, while Ye Xuan's breath grew slightly disordered.

But Xu Chen knew this was only because he hadn't revealed his true strength.

As expected, Ye Xuan smirked: "You think you've gained the upper hand?"

Xu Chen, playing the villain, sneered: "What, still trying to put on a show?"

With that, Ye Xuan let out a cold snort and shook his body.

A Third Grade Initial-Stage aura instantly surged like a hurricane, radiating outward from his body.

Instantly, the ground trembled, the air exploded.

The onlookers gasped: "At this age, he's already Third Grade?"

Just as in the original plot, everyone was stunned.

Xu Chen's face showed distress, but inside he was utterly calm.

Good, good—it's about to end.

"Whoosh!"

The next instant, Ye Xuan lunged again, slamming another punch at Xu Chen.

Faintly, the air whipped violently, a sharp aura radiating, sending chills through onlookers.

Xu Chen, sticking to his villain role, naturally refused to yield—he roared: "You think that's all I've got? Lose!"

He clenched his fist and slammed his own punch straight into Ye Xuan's.

He knew that in the next instant, he'd be blasted flying.

"Hum!"

But what he didn't expect was that his Storage Ring flickered imperceptibly.

A force of Third Grade Mid-Stage surged like the Yellow River in flood, flowing endlessly into his body.

Instantly, his strength swelled, Spiritual Qi coiled around his entire body, his bones creaking.

In his dazed gaze, his fist, charged with furious power, smashed Ye Xuan flying.

Ye Xuan was equally stunned—he flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing to the ground.

Ye Xuan, eliminated.

Xu Chen: "..."

What the hell!

Li Ruoling did this!

Big sis, are you crazy? You're not helping the protagonist—you're helping me, the villain? Why?!

I just wanted to lose, to be crushed by the protagonist—why is it so hard?!

Now that the protagonist has lost, won't the cycle start over again?

Xu Chen was anxious, waiting for the system's warning.

But after a full minute of stunned silence, the system said nothing.
