Chapter 7: One Punch Blows the Protagonist Away? Absurd!

At this moment, Ye Xuan had not yet revealed his true strength; he was only at the mid-stage of the Second Grade.

He instantly darted before Xu Chen and began unleashing martial arts to attack him.

Even though Ye Xuan was at the mid-stage of the Second Grade, his martial arts were far more formidable than Xu Chen's, so for a time, neither held the upper hand.

The crowd around them, just as the original text described, secretly felt a chill of awe.

Elder Ming You stroked his beard and chuckled lightly: "This youth is not only a Third Grade Alchemist but can also fight above his realm. Extraordinary, truly extraordinary!"

Li Ruoling pouted; a good show was about to begin.

Anyone trying to bully her brother Xu Chen? No way.

"Boom!"

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

Xu Chen's expression remained calm, while Ye Xuan's breathing was slightly disordered.

Yet Xu Chen knew this was because he had not yet revealed his true strength.

As expected, a smirk curled Ye Xuan's lips: "Do you think you have the upper hand?"

Playing his villain role, Xu Chen sneered: "What, do you still intend to force it?"

With that, Ye Xuan snorted coldly, and his body shuddered.

An aura of the early stage of the Third Grade immediately erupted like a hurricane, radiating rapidly outward from his body.

In an instant, the ground trembled and the air exploded.

The onlookers cried out in shock: "At such a young age, he is already Third Grade?"

Just as in the original plot, everyone was stunned.

Xu Chen's face looked grim on the surface, while his heart remained utterly calm.

Good, good; it's almost over.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, Ye Xuan darted forward again and slammed another punch down at Xu Chen.

Faintly, the wind howled, a sharp aura radiated forth, and onlookers felt their hearts race.

Following his villain persona, Xu Chen naturally could not yield; he roared: "Do you think I only have this much strength? Lose!"

He clenched his fist tightly and smashed his own fist against Ye Xuan's.

He knew that in the next instant, he would be blasted away.

"Hum!"

Yet to his surprise, the storage ring on his hand flickered imperceptibly.

A surge of power from the mid-stage of the Third Grade, like the rolling Yellow River, flowed ceaselessly into his body.

In an instant, his strength was fully replenished, spiritual energy coiled around his entire body, and his bones creaked loudly.

To his bewildered gaze, his fist, now carrying violent power, blasted Ye Xuan away with a single strike.

Ye Xuan was equally stunned; he flew straight backward like a kite with a broken string, finally crashing to the ground.

Ye Xuan, eliminated.

Xu Chen: "..."

Damn it!

Li Ruoling did this!

Big sister, are you crazy? You're not helping the protagonist; why are you helping me, the villain?

He just wanted to lose, wanted to be crushed by the protagonist; how could it be so difficult?

Now that the protagonist has lost, will the cycle have to start over again?

Xu Chen waited anxiously for the system's warning.

Yet after a full minute of being utterly bewildered, the system remained silent.

This seemed to represent... it's fine.

Xu Chen asked the system, "System, this is fine?"

The system nodded: "There was indeed a deviation, but it is acceptable in this life, as long as you and Ye Xuan entering the Jixia Academy during the main plot remains unchanged."

Xu Chen's mouth twitched slightly; could this really be allowed?

You should have said so earlier; you scared me to death!

Since that's the case, then he wouldn't be cowardly anymore.

After being blasted away for so many lives, this time he would quickly show off.

Therefore, he casually brushed his clothes, looked down on Xu Chen below the platform with disdain, and said lightly, "Just this, and you dare to be arrogant?"

After saying this, Xu Chen immediately felt extremely refreshed.

It was so damn refreshing!

It felt as if the frustration of ninety-nine lives had dissipated at this moment.

Ye Xuan's face turned ugly: "Damn, you are actually mid-stage Third Grade."

He thought only he knew how to hide his strength.

Who knew that Xu Chen hid his strength even deeper; damn it.

The surrounding crowd was also shocked; they never expected Xu Chen to be even stronger, blasting him away with a single punch; terrifying!

Elder Ming You sighed in regret, but although Xu Chen was the strongest, Ye Xuan was not bad either.

Both were sixteen years old, both Third Grade, both top geniuses of Qingyang City!

He announced, "Although the two of you have decided the winner, you are both rare geniuses and can both enter my Jixia Academy."

Regarding this, no one dared to object.

After all, geniuses of such an age were indeed extremely rare.

Li Ruoling clapped her hands, showing a playful expression: "Impressive, truly impressive."

Xu Chen looked at this broken heroine, feeling slightly aching in his teeth.

He now discovered that the heroine had not gotten close to Ye Xuan in advance.

This girl was really fawning over him.

He felt a headache; the number one heroine fawning over him, a villain, was simply outrageous!

Next, perhaps because of her, even more outrageous plots might appear.

He had to stay away from her; after all, if a villain got involved with the number one heroine, nothing good would ever happen.

Either being hated by others or envied by others; absolutely, one hundred percent.

He just wanted to walk through the plot peacefully; big sister, please don't cause trouble.

"Wow! The Saintess's Yang Spirit Storage Ring was given to Xu Chen; did you see?"

At some point, someone noticed the Storage Ring on Xu Chen's hand, almost identical to the one on Li Ruoling's hand.

One was the Yang Spirit Storage Ring, the other the Yin Spirit Storage Ring; they were tokens of love.

The crowd gasped, then their eyes turned red; what merit did Xu Chen have to receive such favor from the Saintess!

Ye Xuan clutched his chest; the feeling of having something snatched away became even stronger.

Damn, he felt Li Ruoling should have been his, the Yang Spirit Storage Ring should have been his; damn Xu Chen.

Li Ruoling felt sweet inside, showing a shy expression; he had been wearing it all along, how good.

Hearing this, Xu Chen's face stiffened as he glanced at Li Ruoling's Storage Ring, instantly stunned.

Damn it!

After entering the Jixia Academy, trouble would surely come endlessly!

I really can't deal with this girl!

Big sister, go ruin someone else's life; stop staring at me all the time!

After all, I am just a villain!
