Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Powerful Rise

Jiang Chen accepted Jiang Zuo's challenge.

The entire crowd was in an uproar.

Even Jiang Yun, who had been defeated by Jiang Chen in a single move, was now being helped up from the ground, standing off to the side.

His eyes were bloodshot.

'Jiang Zuo will avenge me.'

'You're dead meat.'

He loathed Jiang Chen. To be defeated in a single move in front of so many people... he still couldn't figure out how it had happened.

The old Jiang Chen, despite being a hedonist, at least had an Eighth-Grade Martial Vein. Even if he spent his days chasing women and didn't bother with Cultivation, his own Cultivation would still have been higher than Jiang Yun's.

He was a Martial Artist of the Fifth Heaven, after all.

But the current Jiang Chen was a complete cripple, as no one could discern his Cultivation level.

'Perhaps my defeat was just a fluke.'

No one could have guessed that Jiang Chen's Cultivation had already reached the Warrior First Heaven.

It was just that Jiang Chen had used his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique to conceal his Cultivation.

He stood in the center of the field, as still as a mountain.

He simply beckoned to Jiang Zuo.

Seeing Jiang Chen act this way, Jiang Zuo grew irritated.

"You little punk. I could tolerate your arrogance before, but now, you're just a cripple in my eyes."

"You want me to make the first move? Fine. Go die."

Jiang Zuo showed no mercy. A terrifying, murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

Then, his figure shot forward with incredible speed.

He was like a crazed cheetah.

As soon as Jiang Zuo moved, the spectating family members cried out in amazement.

"Jiang Zuo is so fast!"

"What a kid! He's definitely number one in the family. With that kind of explosive power, I doubt anyone at the same Level could be his match."

"Indeed, indeed."

Jiang Gan said to Jiang Men, "Second Brother, with a son like yours, your line is in good hands."

Jiang Men smiled arrogantly.

His face was the very picture of smug satisfaction.

After all, his son was bringing him glory in front of so many family members.

He glanced at Jiang Han and saw his face was ashen.

He chuckled to himself.

Then he suddenly spoke up, "Big Brother, your son isn't bad either. Even after losing his Martial Vein, his courage is commendable."

Jiang Han's face was grim, but he didn't intervene.

Seeing his son's resolute expression, he felt that something wasn't quite right.

Besides, given his son's character, he wouldn't rashly undertake such a risky venture.

'He must have an ace up his sleeve.'

So he waited silently for the outcome, even preparing himself to act.

If his son was in danger, he would interfere immediately.

As for Jiang Men's sarcastic words, he ignored them for the time being.

Seeing Jiang Zuo approach like a lightning bolt...

...Jiang Chen's expression was as calm as an ancient well.

He was the picture of composure, as if he had the entire situation under control.

'From this day forward, I, Jiang Chen, will no longer hold back.'

'No matter who it is, they will all fall at my feet.'

'Witness the second rise of Jiang Chen.'

He remained as still as a mountain, but in the eyes of others, this took on a different meaning.

"Look at that idiot Jiang Chen."

"HAHAHA, he's scared stiff! My god, the kid's completely frozen, isn't he?"

"Jiang Zuo is still the better man."

Without exception, everyone wore a mocking expression.

They expected the "petrified" Jiang Chen to be on the ground in an instant, in the blink of an eye.

They were all waiting for the final result, which might even be death.

Of course, the outcome was not in doubt.

SWOOSH!

Jiang Zuo cultivated the Jiang Family's Tiger Roar Fist.

With the Tiger Roar Fist, every punch let out a whooshing roar.

A normal person hit by it would die instantly, their bones shattered to pieces.

And Jiang Zuo's current Cultivation was at the Martial Artist Seventh Heaven, which was terrifyingly high.

A casual punch from him was enough to shatter mountains and split stone.

His fist, as large as a sandbag, smashed viciously toward Jiang Chen's chest.

'One punch is all it will take to shatter your bones.'

The disdain in his eyes intensified.

From his perspective, Jiang Chen just looked dazed.

The two of them weren't on the same level. If Jiang Chen was an ant on the ground, then Jiang Zuo was a hawk in the sky.

One meter, half a meter.

Jiang Zuo's fist drew closer and closer to Jiang Chen.

Most of the crowd was thrilled, eager to see the moment Jiang Chen fell. Only Jiang Han, Xiao Yun, and Yiyi were filled with worry.

They were the only ones who truly cared about Jiang Chen.

As it got closer, Jiang Chen could feel the violent edge of Jiang Zuo's fist sweeping toward him, carrying a terrifying force.

This punch was truly the ultimate expression of their Jiang Family's Tiger Roar Fist.

'He does have some skill.'

To be honest, Jiang Chen actually admired Jiang Zuo's ruthlessness. Although his Martial Vein was inferior to Jiang Chen's, he had cultivated diligently and had long since surpassed the old Jiang Chen.

He was the number one expert of the younger generation in the family.

But now, that was clearly no longer the case.

He slowly extended a hand, reaching out to grab Jiang Zuo's incoming fist.

The movement looked slow, yet it carried an air of unhurried confidence.

THWUMP!

In that instant, everything stopped.

Jiang Zuo found that his fist had stopped, unable to move another inch.

The key thing was, he hadn't hit Jiang Chen's chest at all.

In disbelief, he looked down at his fist.

In that moment, Jiang Zuo froze.

'This... is impossible...'

He roared inwardly.

Because he saw that his fist was caught in Jiang Chen's palm.

That ordinary-looking hand had completely stopped his all-out punch.

He was horrified, aghast.

He simply could not accept this reality.

It all felt like a dream.

"So, this is all you amount to."

Jiang Chen spoke faintly, his tone flat with a hint of mockery.

Then, Jiang Chen tightened his grip on Jiang Zuo's fist and abruptly applied force.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo was horrified to discover a terrifying suction force coming from Jiang Chen's hand.

This bizarre suction pulled frantically at his fist, attempting to draw out the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from his body.

One must understand that Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is the source of a Martial Cultivator's power.

Without Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, no matter how high a Martial Cultivator's Cultivation was, they couldn't unleash any power.

And now, this strange power from Jiang Chen's hand was actually siphoning the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from his body.

This caused Jiang Zuo's expression to change drastically.

WHOOSH!

In just an instant, Jiang Zuo was terrified to find that half of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in his body had vanished.

That was half of it!

Just like that, it seemed to have disappeared.

No, it was siphoned away by Jiang Chen.

After losing half of his body's Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Jiang Zuo's aura instantly collapsed, plummeting rapidly.

In contrast, Jiang Chen's aura soared like a rainbow piercing the sun, erupting with a BOOM.

The previously ordinary-looking Jiang Chen had, in an instant, become insurmountably imposing.

Jiang Zuo was truly terrified now.

He tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free from Jiang Chen's grasp at all.

It was as if he were glued firmly to Jiang Chen's hand.

"No, let me go...!"

Realizing something was wrong, he roared hastily.

"Let you go? It's not impossible."

"Get lost!"

Jiang Chen said coolly.

He gave a slight push with his palm.

BANG!

With that one push, he shoved Jiang Zuo's own arm into his own abdomen.

Jiang Zuo's body went flying.
