I Break through Crazily

"Here it comes!"

Far in the distance, Fan Wei saw Fang Tian use his "Horizontal Flying Leg" again, and his body trembled.

Fan Wei had lost to this very move before, so he knew better than anyone how powerful it was.

Despite his strength as a Three-star Battle Grandmaster, he had been completely unable to resist the Horizontal Flying Leg. It was clear just how terrifying the move was.

The mere thought of the heart-pounding terror he felt when facing Fang Tian’s move made Fan Wei shudder with lingering fear.

Now, Fang Tian was using that move again, and his opponent was Tang Yi!

But Tang Yi...

...was just standing there?

Tang Yi still wasn’t dodging!

’It’s over...’

Fan Wei didn’t think Tang Yi was stronger than him, and he certainly didn’t believe he could take Fang Tian’s attack. The outcome was predictable: Tang Yi was bound to be severely injured by the kick—he might even be killed.

’Is a Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique something you can just take head-on?’

’Not even trying to dodge... what an idiot!’

Fan Wei couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

"Tang Yi is going to meet it head-on again!!"

"What? He’s going to clash with a Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique?"

"No way. We just saw a glimmer of hope. Is it going to be extinguished already?"

"It was one thing not to dodge Fang Tian’s first Martial Technique. After all, Fan Wei took that hit, so it wasn’t impossible for Tang Yi to take it too. But he’s not even dodging the second one? That’s supposedly a Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique, the one that defeated Fan Wei!"

"He’s being too arrogant!"

"I hope Tang Yi can handle it. In any case, it’s his choice, and he’s the one fighting. We can’t change his mind."

"..."

Seeing Tang Yi stand his ground against Fang Tian’s second Martial Technique without dodging, the people of Fengyue City broke out in a cold sweat for him. They thought it was far too risky, but since Tang Yi was the one in the ring, his actions were his own. There was nothing they could say.

Filled with a mix of anticipation and worry, the crowd could only continue watching the match.

And at that moment, just like before, as Fang Tian’s kick was about to land, Tang Yi threw a punch to meet it.

It was a plain and simple punch, with no flair whatsoever—just an ordinary strike.

’Using a punch like that against Fang Tian’s Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique?’

To the crowd, this was undoubtedly a joke.

Some people were already covering their faces, unable to bear the sight of Tang Yi’s impending humiliating defeat. Others sighed repeatedly, lamenting that their hopes were about to be shattered. Some even began to cry.

Meanwhile, the examinees from Wind Rain City sneered, their faces filled with derision as they looked at the examinees from Fengyue City with even greater contempt.

But...

The next second, the outcome was completely unexpected.

"BOOM!"

Fang Tian’s body was once again sent flying by Tang Yi’s punch!

And this time, he flew even farther and faster than before!

Fang Tian had charged toward Tang Yi at extreme speed, unleashing the full power of his Martial Technique. But the moment his foot collided with Tang Yi’s fist, it was as if he had kicked a spring. An even stronger force rebounded, blasting his body away.

Then, with a THUD, he crashed heavily onto the arena floor.

"This..."

Seeing this, everyone was too stunned to speak.

What on earth had just happened?

It had all happened in a flash. The crowd had only seen Fang Tian and Tang Yi about to collide, and then Fang Tian was sent flying. They weren’t even sure if the two had made contact!

It was so fast that no one had time to react, let alone see the details of what occurred!

Most importantly...

’Was that the same imposing Fang Tian from just a moment ago?’

’The same Fang Tian who had so decisively defeated Fan Wei?’

’Why does he seem so weak now that he’s facing Tang Yi?’

’Did Tang Yi really send him flying with just a seemingly light punch?’

What was going on?

He had even used a Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique, yet he couldn’t even block such an ordinary punch from Tang Yi!

...

The referee rushed forward to check on Fang Tian’s injuries. Because Tang Yi had held back slightly, Fang Tian wasn’t killed by the punch. He only suffered a broken right leg...

"Fengyue City’s Tang Yi is victorious!"

With that, the referee declared Tang Yi the winner.

"WOAH!"

When the referee announced the result, speaking those six words—"Fengyue City’s Tang Yi is victorious"—the people of Fengyue City erupted in cheers.

They were ecstatic! Overjoyed!

After holding it in for so long, after being suppressed for so long, someone had finally stood up for Fengyue City. How could they not be excited?

"I knew it! I knew Tang Yi would win!"

"Tang Yi really is our hope! He’s amazing!"

"Not even Fang Tian using a Profound Tier Upper Grade Martial Technique was a match for him. Who else could possibly defeat Tang Yi!"

"I can’t wait to see him win the whole thing for Fengyue City!"

"That’s more like it! That’s a true son of our Fengyue City! He should beat the hell out of those Wind Rain City bastards!"

"I was saying, how could our Fengyue City’s geniuses be weaker than those from Wind Rain City next door? Hmph, turns out it was just because Tang Yi hadn’t made his move yet."

"Tang Yi is so handsome! From now on, I don’t care about Yuan Qiong or Fan Wei anymore. I love Tang Yi!"

"You stinking morons from Wind Rain City, did you see that? Did you see?! It’s not that you’re strong, it’s that our Tang Yi hadn’t acted yet! Now that he has, what do you even count for?"

"Get lost, people of Wind Rain City! How dare you keep shouting! How dare you provoke us! Just watch our Tang Yi beat you all into pig-heads!"

"Tang Yi is the best! Wind Rain City is trash!"

"..."

Tang Yi’s victory ignited the emotions of everyone in Fengyue City. Every person was beaming again, filled with excitement and exhilaration, and their expectations for Tang Yi soared.

The previously lifeless atmosphere was swept away, and Unrivaled Square erupted with a new, vibrant energy.

Facing the provocations from Wind Rain City, the crowd no longer held back. They hurled insults back, cursing the Wind Rain City examinees so fiercely that their faces turned as ugly as could be.

In short, the people of Fengyue City had ’come alive’.

They had walked out of sorrow, out of despair, and were living once more!

It was Tang Yi. It was Tang Yi who had filled them with hope!

They needed a victory, and Tang Yi was the one who gave it to them!

Tang Yi!

He was the hero of Fengyue City!

"Tang Yi! Tang Yi! Tang Yi!"

It’s unknown who first shouted Tang Yi’s name, but immediately after, the entire Unrivaled Square exploded.

Whether they were citizens of Fengyue City, examinees for the qualification test, or just passersby who happened to be in town, everyone joined the chant.

They were all shouting Tang Yi’s name!

Before long, the two words ’Tang Yi’ were echoing everywhere in Fengyue City!

At this moment, Tang Yi was the center of everyone’s attention, embraced by the countless people of Fengyue City.

"Hmph, it’s just one win. We still have four people left," a Wind Rain City examinee said disdainfully at that moment.

But the moment he finished speaking, he was met with a barrage of curses and jeers from the countless people of Fengyue City.

This was the advantage of fighting on home turf.
