In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Instant Reversal of Victory!

Clearly, Bai Shayan’s psychological shadow was too heavy.

If he were on the battle stage at this moment, he would probably have lost all will to fight.

But An Yiyi was obviously not so fragile.

Even though she knew that a Major Completion Leg Axe, coupled with a martial arts realm that was already almost equal to hers, meant that a single hit to her torso would be the end.

But she still felt she had a good chance of winning!

With the Tai Chi Cotton Palm fully unleashed, combined with her movement technique, her movements were dazzling, yet there was no sense of panic.

And this was precisely Shen Xing’s weakness.

Even though each Leg Axe attack was terrifyingly powerful, they all landed in empty space, unable to hit An Yiyi. Instead, she counterattacked several times, landing her Cotton Palm on his body, causing the values on his combat suit to rise continuously.

This made many people feel a sense of regret.

“What a pity, his movement technique is far inferior.”

“If he had a movement-type Martial Path Intent, even if it was just at the initial mastery level, he would have won for sure.”

“Not necessarily, An Yiyi’s movement technique is clearly at the Minor Completion level.”

“I think he still has a chance. With this Leg Axe, one hit is all it takes to win.”

“They’re evenly matched, this fight is too exciting!”

“…”

As the students watched the battle with rapt attention, they also began to discuss in low voices.

Obviously, the Major Completion Leg Axe was amazing at this level, but An Yiyi’s performance was no less impressive. Her tall and graceful figure, coupled with her crisp and agile movements, was a feast for the eyes, so more people were rooting for An Yiyi.

In fact, as the values on Shen Xing’s combat suit continued to rise, his movements seemed to become chaotic.

This gave An Yiyi even more opportunities.

She moved like a swimming dragon and a dancing phoenix, tightly circling Shen Xing. Each successful palm strike would light up Shen Xing’s combat suit, increasing its value.

Many people in the audience seemed to have already determined the outcome.

“Shen Xing is going to lose.”

“My goddess is still invincible.”

“But he’s still very strong, much stronger than us.”

“Probably because he focused on the Leg Axe.”

“From Minor Completion to Major Completion in a week, this progress is terrifying.”

“An Yiyi came from behind, and this Shen Xing came from even further behind!”

“What a pity.”

“…”

Clearly, in the eyes of most people, Shen Xing was still a step behind and had no chance of turning the tables.

Although he was still impressive, it was ultimately a pity.

It seemed that even he himself thought so. As if giving up, he actually threw a punch at An Yiyi.

This move made many students shake their heads.

Tai Chi is best at using the opponent’s strength against them, especially in close-quarters grappling. Even if Shen Xing had a hand-based Martial Path Intent, it would be difficult to deal with Tai Chi.

In many people’s eyes, Shen Xing was already panicking.

Only An Yiyi felt a flash of vigilance in her heart. But with the fist coming at her, she could only raise her Tai Chi to strike at the joint.

But—!

At this very moment, Shen Xing’s straight punch suddenly changed!

His arms seemed to instantly become as soft as boneless snakes, transforming into two long snakes, one wrapping around An Yiyi’s arm and the other around her waist, simultaneously! Dual-wielding! Perfect coordination!

“Oh no!”

◈◈◈

An Yiyi’s heart tightened. Instinctively, she could only block one hand, but her waist was tightly wrapped by the other.

The boneless, force-deflecting Double Snake Fist was the nemesis of Tai Chi!

The dual-wielding nature of the Double Snake Fist was perfect for surprise attacks!

Thump—!

A simple knee strike of the Leg Axe hit her abdomen, producing a dull thud. In an instant, the values on An Yiyi’s combat suit maxed out!

The tables were turned, and the battle was over.

But even at this moment, many students still hadn’t reacted. They even thought it was the sound of Shen Xing’s combat suit maxing out.

It wasn’t until the first exclamation that everyone turned to look at the values displayed on the projection. Then, their eyes gradually widened.

After a long while, a roar erupted.

“Shen Xing won?”

“How did he win!”

“An instant reversal!?”

“I told you! A Major Completion Leg Axe, one hit is enough to be fatal!”

“Damn! I didn’t even see it.”

“How did An Yiyi suddenly get wrapped up?”

“…”

Clearly, Shen Xing’s final move of the Double Snake Fist was like a stroke of genius, and it was extremely subtle. With the eyesight of these Muscle Tempering Stage students, they couldn’t see it at all.

Only Teacher Lin’s face showed a faint smile.

In addition, An Yiyi had also reacted, her expression slightly darkening.

“Alright.” She said softly, “I lost, let me go.”

“I was lucky.” Shen Xing released her with a slight smile, “It was close, I almost lost.”

“You don’t need to comfort me.” An Yiyi’s expression had returned to normal. She gave Shen Xing a faint smile, “From the beginning, you had already planned your tactics. You were just trying to lull me earlier. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have needed to strike first. If you had just assumed a defensive stance and waited for a counterattack, with your Major Completion Leg Axe, I might have lost in one exchange. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. But next time, I’ll be the one challenging you.”

Shen Xing could see that she wasn’t discouraged, but rather filled with even more determination.

That was right, she wasn’t the strongest to begin with. To be able to catch up from behind, her mentality couldn’t be weak. Not to mention, her heart was like fire, her fighting spirit was high. A temporary defeat would only make her more determined.

“I’ll be waiting.” Shen Xing smiled, “Whenever you’re ready, you can call me.”

“Okay!” An Yiyi nodded seriously.

And at this moment, all the other students had finally accepted the reality.

The outcome was decided. An Yiyi, who had just taken first place, accepted her defeat wholeheartedly.

First place had changed hands again!

Gradually, everyone’s gaze towards Shen Xing changed significantly.

Entering the class late, and in just two weeks, he had risen to become the top of the class!

And it was a very significant first place!

For a moment, Shen Xing’s figure seemed to grow taller. Many people’s eyes showed clear admiration, even worship.

This is the Martial Path.

Strong strength is equivalent to status and prestige!

Shen Xing’s name, after this day, was destined to be as renowned as Bai Shahai’s throughout the entire Thirty-Second School District!

He would become an existence that countless freshmen looked up to.

However, Shen Xing was only excited for a short while before calming down. He didn’t dwell on the joy of victory.

To him, this was also within his expectations. Moreover, to be honest, he had watched a battle first and understood An Yiyi’s moves and strength. This itself gave him a certain advantage. In addition, he happened to have the Double Snake Fist, which was a counter to Tai Chi and good at surprise attacks. He could also be said to be lucky.
