The Immortal's Wine Store

The next day, it was the final day of the annual martial arts competition. The final winner would also be decided on this day. Who among the remaining four contestants would emerge as the champion?

The venue was fully packed with people and some even had to stand up because of the lack of chairs, but this did not stop everyone's enthusiasm to watch the final round of this competition.

The four contestants were asked to draw their lots and these are the results:

Yang Zenke versus Beiming Chu

Prince Dante versus Xue Tong

Yang Zenke cursed in his heart after he heard the match-ups. He wanted to crush Xue Tong personally, but it seems like someone else will do the deed for him. It was a bit hard for him to swallow the results of the draw by lots especially after he had promised Xiao Hua that he would destroy Xue Tong.

He glanced at Xiao Hua apologetically and he heard her say as she smiled. "Brother Yang, you don't have to worry about me. It doesn't matter who beats that bastard. Just focus yourself on becoming the champion."

Yang Zenke nodded his head and his expression turned serious at those words. "That's my goal from the very start..." He uttered.

Xiao Hua gave him a thumbs up as she smiled encouragingly.

"Yang Zenke and Beiming Chu, please come to the battle platform."

Yang Zenke glanced at Xiao Hua for the last time before he jumped straight to the battle platform.

In front of him was Beiming Chu who had defeated Liu Mengdi in a straightforward manner. Although part of Liu Mengdi's defeat was because of his unbalanced state of mind, Beiming Chu's strength also played a great role in his defeat.

The guy was a body strengthening expert who has a violent form of martial arts. His rich battle experience and explosive strength were more than enough to crush someone in the same generation. However, Yang Zenke remained unperturbed as he faced this guy. He was also a body strengthening expert and his growth was something that any other person would find it hard to believe.

He survived more than a month of torturous training. Anyone else would have already succumbed after experiencing that kind of pain.

Yang Zenke's confidence did not just come from that. In all his battles, he was yet to showcase the sword techniques that he had learned from his master! Heck! No one was even able to make him take out his sword!

The battle between the two youths begun!

Beiming Chu glanced at his opponent with a serious look. He had seen Yang Zenke's fights and the guy defeated all of his opponents without even using his sword. He was like a crazy savage beast on the battle platform, and even Beiming Chu felt slightly nervous as he faced this man.

'He's only an early stage 4th-rank Knight Crusader, but he managed to defeat his opponents without even using his weapon. This guy... I can't calculate his power...' He thought.

To everyone's surprise, they saw Yang Zenke putting up a defensive boxing stance.

He wanted to fight Beiming Chu in an unarmed battle!

Beiming Chu was stunned at this and a small smile formed on his lips a moment after that. "Since you are that confident, then let me see how you will fight me in hand to hand combat without even a gauntlet!"

Beiming Chu charged like an enraged bull as he lifted his right fist. He channeled his anma and gathered it in his fist.

Yang Zenke similarly circulated the anma in his body and covered all of his weak spots with it. 'This guy's anma circulation speed is way too slow. His body strengthening technique must be many times weaker than what master had taught us.' He thought.

If anyone else could hear his thoughts, they would surely bash his head on a wall. Since when did the Beiming Family's body strengthening technique become weak?

However, Yang Zenke's thoughts weren't wrong. The body strengthening technique that Jiu Shen taught them was something that was more than a hundred times stronger than the Beiming Family's technique!

Booom!

Beiming Chu's gauntlet and Yang Zenke's bare fist collided with a loud booming sound. Even the battle platform beneath them caved in under the impact of their fierce collision!

Everyone from the audience gaped in shock at this stunning scene.

"What the hell?! He is actually able to fight Young Master Beiming Chu with his bare hands?!"

"Oh my god! Are his arms made of profound steel?! This guy's body is insanely tenacious!"

Han Sen and his buddies smiled proudly after hearing the crowd's exclamations. In terms of physical strength and raw power, Yang Zenke was the absolute strongest among them. The only thing that Han Sen could boast in front of Yang Zenke was his intellect and wisdom. Other than that, Yang Zenke exceeded him in other areas.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fists and kicks tore through the air, creating violent ripples that produced thunderous sounds.

Everyone could see that Yang Zenke's fists were already bleeding, but the guy did not even stop. It was as if he had turned into a malevolent savage beast as he continued his fierce onslaught despite the fact that he was at a disadvantage.

Beiming Chu was still calm at the first few minutes of their fight, but after a few more minutes, he suddenly grew nervous because the power behind Yang Zenke's attacks did not diminish. In fact, his attacks seemed to have slowly become stronger as their fight continued!

'What the fuck?! Is this guy using me as a whetstone?!' The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

"You want to use me to sharpen your skills?! Then receive this strike of mine!" Beiming Chu leaped through the air as he channeled his anma to the maximum. He gathered his anma swiftly in his arms as he held his hands tightly to form a hammer fist.

"Hammer of Punishment. Sundering Evil Sky Hammer!" Beiming Chu's forehead creased as he released his ultimate skill towards Yang Zenke. He could still not use the full power of this technique, but he was confident that this was enough to defeat Yang Zenke.

Facing this attack, Yang Zenke who had a crazed expression earlier suddenly calmed himself. He smiled and said in an excited tone. "Finally! Someone worthy enough for me to draw my sword!"

Shing!
