Chapitre 36: Gap
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
Zhou Chen was rather relaxed as he stood on the ring, not at all nervous.
On one hand, this was because he had a relatively calm personality. On the other hand, it was because he had been through several Survival missions, which was akin to going through life and death situations. He had even killed other Survivors, so his mental state had changed greatly. It was difficult for him to take the pressure on the ring seriously.
The young man in the casual clothes saw Zhou Chen's relaxed expression. The contempt in his heart immediately lessened and he became serious.
He could tell that Zhou Chen was not a newbie. When a newbie went into the ring, they would often be nervous, unlike Zhou Chen, who was both relaxed and focused.
The two of them circled around the ring and probed each other a few times. The young man in casual clothes took the initiative to attack. He took a step forward, his left fist protecting his chin, and his right fist shot out like lightning, attacking Zhou Chen's face.
His attack was not fancy. It was a simple straight. He wanted to test Zhou Chen's reaction with this punch to see if he would attack, defend, or dodge.
This young man's straight punch was very decisive. It seemed very fast in the eyes of the people below the stage, and was not easy to react to.
But in Zhou Chen's eyes, this punch was only ordinary in terms of speed and did not pose much of a threat.
This was mainly due to the effects of Zhou Chen's high spirit and high agility attributes.
Among Zhou Chen's three attributes, his spirit was the highest, reaching 1.8. This gave him a perception power that was close to a superpower.
Even if he closed his eyes, he could clearly sense the movements of objects within a few meters, let alone when this living person was right before his eyes.
Moreover, his agility was as high as 1.6, making his reaction speed much faster than ordinary people. Many attacks that could not be dodged in the eyes of ordinary people could be dodged casually by him.
Zhou Chen chose to dodge the young man's straight. He moved his feet slightly and tilted his head a little, making the young man's fist hit empty air.
The people below the stage immediately began to discuss.
"This kid is strong, his dodging ability is like a professional's."
"Yeah, right? I thought he would be KO-ed by Master Wang's disciple."
"How can that be, didn't Master Wang say that he has some strength? I think they will definitely have to fight for a while to decide the winner."
"Hmm… Master Wang's judgment is as accurate as ever."
…
While everyone below the ring was discussing, the expression of the young man who was Zhou Chen's opponent on the ring became even more serious.
He had already confirmed that Zhou Chen was not weak. His strength might really be on par with his own.
However, this situation did not make him feel fear. Instead, it made him feel a little excited. This time, he had come to see his master expose a fraud. He did not expect to encounter a good opponent.
He liked using powerful attacks to defeat his opponent. Therefore, after understanding the quality of his opponent, he was prepared to go all out.
He no longer tested the waters, and his footsteps suddenly sped up. He directly swept his leg forward after closing in on Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen did not choose to dodge this attack. He also used his right leg to meet it head-on.
This time, it seemed like it was a draw. Both of them retreated.
However, in reality, their feelings were completely different.
On Zhou Chen's side, he had only used 50% of his strength to reach a draw with the other party, but the other party seemed to have used at least 90% of his strength, making him feel that the difference between the opponent and his body was a little too great.
On the young man's side, he felt like he had hit an iron block. The collision of the kicks seemed to end in a draw, but only he knew how much pain his leg was in right now. His opponent, on the other hand, seemed to be very relaxed, not even making the slightest movement to relax his leg.
The reason for this difference was Zhou Chen's physique attribute. His current physique attribute was 1.7. His body was much sturdier than ordinary people, and his strength was several times greater. This was because apart from his high physique, he also had Giant Strength passive skill that gave him additional strength.
After this attack, the young man saw that he did not have the advantage in terms of strength, and immediately launched a fast attack, planning to use his skills to finish off this tough opponent.
He braced himself and kicked Zhou Chen a few times, including sweeping his legs and push kick. He wanted to use continuous attacks to make Zhou Chen show signs of weakness so that he could attack the latter's vital points and knock him down.
However, after spending some effort, he realized that he was unable to achieve his goal. The young man opposite him, who looked younger than him, was able to deal with his attacks freely. He did not panic at all and was as steady as a thick iron wall.
In fact, this could not be blamed on Master Wang's disciple's lack of skill. In terms of combat skills, his level was about the same as Zhou Chen's, or even higher.
After all, Zhou Chen had never learned martial arts before. He only had a low bronze rank combat arts passive.
This combat arts passive could not make Zhou Chen a master of martial arts. It could only provide him with some basic combat experience and techniques to prevent him from making some low-level mistakes and let him grasp the basic methods to use his strength.
What really made Zhou Chen as stable as a city wall was his attribute advantage. Although his figure looked similar to this youth in casual clothes and belonged to the same weight level, the increase in attributes and passive skills from the Survival missions had made his physical ability far surpass his physical appearance. It was like a thin person had the physical quality of a burly man. It was very deceptive.
The battle had basically reached this point. The people below the stage surprisingly found that Zhou Chen's strength, which seemed to be ordinary, was unfathomable. Master Wang's disciple's attacks had little effect on him. Instead, he exhausted himself.
Sometimes, Zhou Chen would use his fast reaction speed to dodge the attacks by a hair's breadth. Sometimes, he would very directly match the opponent's attack and make the latter retreat. He had the entire fight in his grasp. This caused Master Wang's disciple to look a little dazed and powerless, as if he was being led by the nose by Zhou Chen.
'His stamina is not good, his strength and speed are starting to decrease.'
At this point in the battle, Zhou Chen's condition was still at its peak, but his opponent could no longer hold on. His stamina was clearly beginning to fall.
This was very normal because combat was very exhausting. Otherwise, many combat competitions would not have set up breaks.
'It's time to end it. Let me defeat you in a simpler way.'
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and decided not to show too much. He would end this competition with a normal performance.
