What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

The battle could be taken slowly; Lian Tianji wasn't in a hurry.

Although Zhang Yu used powerful techniques to compensate for much of the gap in physical strength between them, Lian Tianji still had enough confidence to defeat his opponent.

He was willing to spend a little more time fighting his opponent, confronting and learning Zhang Yu's powerful techniques in actual combat.

After all, martial arts competitions weren't real battles. Absorbing nutrients and becoming stronger during the battle was equally important to Lian Tianji.

But since the advertiser asked him to quickly defeat his opponent and demonstrate the effectiveness of the combat potion, he couldn't delay any longer.

Although learning through combat and earning money through advertising… both could make him stronger.

But indeed, the power of money was more important.

"Sorry, Zhang Yu."

"Although I wanted to communicate with you a little longer, I can't ignore the advertiser's request."

So Lian Tianji directly activated his rented combat spirit root. Accompanied by the commotion of spiritual energy in the air, the spiritual energy began to converge towards his hands.

Combat Spirit Root—Surge.

Spiritual energy would continuously pour into his body and actively participate in mana circulation during his battle, in order to amplify the power of his martial arts.

And if it was combined with his Bursting Wave Fist, it would be even more effective.

At this moment, he punched Zhang Yu again, and a surge of energy rushed towards him.

This strike detonated the spiritual energy around his fist, bringing a shockwave that slammed into Zhang Yu.

This approach not only increased the power of the Bursting Wave Fist, but also expanded the attack range of this fist technique several times.

This meant that Lian Tianji's fist didn't need to touch Zhang Yu and the Formless Cloud Vigor in Zhang Yu's hands. The explosive shockwave could strike Zhang Yu from a distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

One punch after another, Lian Tianji at this moment seemed to have transformed into a human-shaped cannon, constantly punching Zhang Yu in front of him.

The surging air waves instantly engulfed Zhang Yu's figure.

But just as Lian Tianji thought that this series of attacks was enough to defeat Zhang Yu.

To his surprise, Zhang Yu, who had been blasted with blood all over his body, suddenly smashed through the shockwave, bringing layers of white mist with his hands, and slammed towards him fiercely.

"You're already so badly injured, and you still want to continue fighting?"

"Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?"

Although he didn't understand Zhang Yu's choice, Lian Tianji, with the advertisement in mind, was full of fighting spirit and wouldn't show any mercy in front of the camera.

So he saw the two sides, without any avoidance, slammed together fiercely.

Fist wind and palm shadows devoured each other.

In the rumbling explosions, Lian Tianji felt his fist hit Zhang Yu's body again and again, and Zhang Yu's hands also slammed into his body again and again with Formless Cloud Vigor.

This made Lian Tianji feel even more puzzled.

"Have you lost the mental strength to maintain your techniques?"

"You're actually choosing to fight me in a flesh-to-flesh brawl, exchanging injuries for injuries?"

Pa! Pa!

Looking at Zhang Yu, whose skin was torn apart and bleeding continuously under his Bursting Wave Fist, Lian Tianji had a premonition that the other party wouldn't last long.

But after 10 seconds… the other party was still fighting him.

After 20 seconds… the other party still showed no sign of stopping.

"How is this possible!"

Lian Tianji looked at Zhang Yu, who was obviously covered in blood but still full of energy, while he himself was being hit in more and more places, and his injuries had gradually begun to deform his fist techniques.

At this moment, Lian Tianji only felt incredible.

"What kind of medicine did he take?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu's body was filled with surging vigor, flowing throughout his body like the Yangtze River.

After the Formless Cloud Hand reached level 10, Zhang Yu was able to stimulate Formless Cloud Vigor from all parts of his body.

This meant that he could circulate Formless Cloud Vigor to all parts of his body without harming his body at all.

So after deciding to hide his level 10 Formless Cloud Hand, he thought of a new tactic, which he called—Subdermal Vigor.

He circulated Formless Cloud Vigor to all parts of his body, but hid it under the skin, without erupting it.

At this moment, the Formless Cloud Vigor was like a piece of armor worn under his skin, resisting all kinds of damage that penetrated his skin.

This allowed Zhang Yu to appear covered in blood, but only injured in the flesh, without truly hurting his bones.

On the contrary, when Lian Tianji fought Zhang Yu, he was repeatedly countered by the Formless Cloud Vigor, rebounded by his own strength.

Especially the more anxious he was, the harder he tried, the more fierce he became, the more turbulent and surging the power returned from Zhang Yu.

It was just that the painkiller suppressed these feelings, allowing him to exert his full strength all the time.

But after the continuous accumulation of injuries…

Ugh!

Lian Tianji suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, feeling his body tremble slightly.

"My strength, speed, and physical ability are clearly above him."

"In close combat, I can't even beat him?"

Looking at Zhang Yu, who was covered in blood and obviously more injured than himself, Lian Tianji couldn't understand why the other party hadn't fallen yet.

"What's the point of winning like this? Can you afford the medical bills?"

Just then, the Ziyun people under the stage said, "Master Lian Tianji, the advertiser is very dissatisfied. If you can't defeat Zhang Yu in the remaining 30 seconds, they will withdraw the advertisement and cancel all future cooperation…"

Withdraw the advertisement? Cancel cooperation?

Hearing these words, Lian Tianji's eyes instantly surged with fighting spirit, like a startled beast, and a new force immediately diffused from his body.

"Must! Immediately! Immediately! Resolve! Zhang Yu!"

Bursting Wave Fist! Self-Destruct Mode!

Using the explosion of spiritual energy and mana to promote this fist technique.

Using severe arm injuries to pursue the limit of power.

At this moment, Lian Tianji erupted his strongest power.

His right arm suddenly swelled with the injection of spiritual energy and mana.

Bang!

With Lian Tianji stomping down, the entire arena shook violently.

The next moment, Lian Tianji's right arm was already wrapped in a sky of blood mist, carrying a power beyond the limit, and slammed towards Zhang Yu fiercely!

Faced with this menacing punch, Zhang Yu didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. The vigor in his body surged, and the Formless Cloud Hand and Undying Seal were running at the same time.

The blood-red Formless Cloud Vigor also took the initiative to meet Lian Tianji head-on.

In the next instant, the two sides punched and palmed, and a violent explosion came from the stage, echoing in the sky above the entire arena, like a string of muffled thunder, also attracting the attention of countless people.

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Zhang Yu's body was once again blasted with a blood red.

The power pushed him towards the edge of the arena like a frenzy.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

But after four steps in a row, he still stood firmly in Lian Tianji's disappointed gaze.

"You even resolved my punch? Your martial arts…"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the pressure you gave me in this battle. It finally allowed my Formless Cloud Hand to break through the limit and reach level 4."

Hearing that Zhang Yu actually broke through in battle, Lian Tianji smiled bitterly and finally sat down on the ground.

At this moment, Lian Tianji's right arm was severely injured, and his whole body's injuries also broke out, and he was completely unable to fight anymore.

Lian Tianji said, "I'm afraid it's more than just the Formless Cloud Hand, right? It's not possible to block me for so long with just this martial art."

Zhang Yu nodded and said the prepared words: "I also practiced the Undying Seal that guides mana, and a horizontal martial art."

Pretending to practice a horizontal martial art to cover up the effect of subdermal vigor, this was Zhang Yu's plan.

Lian Tianji nodded knowingly, then looked at Zhang Yu with extremely complicated eyes.

"With the conditions of Songyang High School, you were able to practice these three martial arts in half a year since the beginning of your first year, and even let you make up for the gap in physical strength between me… Your martial arts talent makes me feel envious."

The rescue team rushed up quickly, put Lian Tianji on a stretcher, and sent him to the side for treatment.

Zhang Yu, who was covered in blood, was also carried over, but as soon as he saw the emergency doctor coming, he quickly raised his hand to stop him and shouted, "Wait! You first see how much it costs to treat my injury? How much can the insurance cover?"

Zhang Yu was really afraid that he would win on the stage, but go bankrupt under the stage and withdraw from the competition.

The emergency doctor frowned: "You're so injured, and you still have the time to worry about these?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu, who was covered in blood, was not bleeding in the eyes of the emergency doctor? This is flowing money.

So seriously injured? Isn't it worthy of his medical certificate to not treat it for a hundred and eighty thousand?

The emergency doctor checked while saying: "Such a serious injury, if you don't seize the time to treat it…"

He suddenly froze: "Huh? It doesn't seem like there's any major injury?"

With the protection of subdermal vigor, coupled with the extreme operation of full concentration, Zhang Yu constantly avoided being attacked in the vital parts of his body, constantly preventing some places from being repeatedly hit… This made his injuries far less serious than they looked.

"It's just some skin trauma?"

The emergency doctor said unexpectedly: "5,000 for the examination fee, 15,000 for the treatment fee, and 10,000 for the medicine fee, all of which are routine items. The insurance can cover it. Let's start?"

Hearing this quote, Zhang Yu was shocked: "So expensive?"

The emergency doctor said impatiently: "If you don't treat it well, how will you participate in the next competition? Anyway, it's all going through insurance. What are you afraid of?"

"Okay, okay, treat it, treat it."

Zhang Yu sighed in his heart: "Alas, the insurance premium is going to rise."

……

The rest area of Bailong High School.

"This Lian Tianji has some skills."

"The physical strength he shows should be 2.3, right?"

"This fist technique is very powerful. Coupled with his combat spirit root, his comprehensive combat strength in Ziyun High School should be second only to Le Mulan…"

"The student from Songyang High School is completely suppressed and should be losing…"

But just a moment later, to the shock of the players in Bailong High School, it turned out that Lian Tianji was lying down on the stage, and Zhang Yu was standing, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

"Lian Tianji actually lost?"

"This Zhang Yu actually made up so much gap with martial arts…"

"And medicine! He must have taken a very powerful combat potion to be able to hold on to the end."

"In that case, it's not outrageous that Lao Chu lost to this Zhang Yu."

On the stretcher, Chu Qiuhe, who had been pretending to be dizzy, suddenly moved his eyelids slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Come on, Zhang Yu!"

At this moment, Chu Qiuhe was extremely hopeful that Zhang Yu could win, although he knew it was impossible, but he still couldn't help but hope that Zhang Yu would knock Song Hailong off the stage and win the championship directly.

He felt that he should be the person who hoped that Zhang Yu would win the most, after all, this was related to his campus reputation and campus status in Bailong High School for the next two and a half years.

After all, losing to a Songyang person? Isn't this a pure waste?

But losing to the champion of the martial arts competition? That's indeed too strong for the opponent, not a crime of war.
